He's daring these idiots to continue marginalizing themselves, and they're leaping at the bait.

Compared to George Bush the Washington media looked like geniuses. Compared to Barack Obama the Washington media look like George Bush.

Right on, Mr President.

That's why they say one thing and the rest of America thinks something else. What they continually talk about doesn't matter to us, jobs, the economy, 2 wars, these are the things Obama addresses and that's why we listen to him more than them.

His speech last night (linked to on the homepage) is worth reading. It seems Pres. Obama might have stumbled on his next rallying cry - "We can't wait!"

Now, let me just say that there are those who say, you know, you're taking on too much; say the budget is too ambitious, we should only focus on one problem at a time.

AUDIENCE: Nooo!

THE PRESIDENT: But we know -- we're smarter than that. (Applause.) We know the challenges are too big to ignore. That single mom out there trying to figure out whether she can have health care for her family -- she doesn't think --

AUDIENCE MEMBER: She can't wait.

THE PRESIDENT: She cannot wait. (Applause.) I'm not going to wait until we've got another $4-a-gallon gasoline before suddenly everybody says, why don't we have an energy policy? We can't wait. (Applause.) I'm not going to wait until suddenly we find out that our children can't compete for the jobs of the future. That's why we're going to fix education now, not later. We can't wait. (Applause.)

The American people don't have the luxury of focusing on one problem at a time. They can't tell their landlord, sir, I can't pay the rent this month, I got other things to do. (Laughter.) They don't say, I'm sorry, we're not going to get sick this month because -- (laughter) -- we've got other things to spend our money on. They have to choose between -- they shouldn't have to choose between tuition for their kids and retirement. They've got all these challenges all at once. They have to do all of these things. And that's why we have to do all of these things

-- because I'm not going to turn my back on the American people who sent me here. (Applause.)

And I'm not going to kick these problems down the road for another four years, another eight years, for the next President, the next generation. (Applause.) We're going to tackle them now. That's why I ran for President. That's why you helped me become President. That's why we are not going to stop until we get this thing done. (Applause.)

I wish last nights speech was to a televised audience, especially the portion I quoted above.

Of course all that was lost on the infotainment talking heads, instead they focus on the couple sentences that was about them. It was ridiculous on Tuesday Night how CNN protected their own in Ed Henry and felt the need to pan Obama because of it. That's proof positive that they're incredibly self-serving, and are all about putting themselves over at any cost.
