Jon Stewart comments on Obama’s hobnob with the media to sell his economic stimulus, Oba-mea culpa on dumping Daschle, and Obama Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, reading from the Bush Administration press secretary handbook, “He’s Just Not That Into Answering You.” Yep, team Obama is looking and talking a lot like the Bush team.

February 4, 2009: Obama: Day 15




(h/t Larry at No Quarter for the vid)

Just 15 days into his administration, Mr. Obushma is already implying to the American people that you’re with stupid in his recent about-face on Daschle.

Also, the post-inaugural sizzle on capital hill is on the verge of fizzle. Not-Obamacan, Sen Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., criticized Obama’s lack of leadership for “giving TV interviews and writing an editorial touting the [stimulus] package rather than addressing the complaints of lawmakers.” Maybe Graham isn’t getting enough goodies in the package. Obama’s lack of leadership comes from caving into Wall Street and Republican demands, not in reaching out to his target audience to peddle his by-products — that’s what any good salesman does.
