Daily evaluation of the President is not unprecedented. The Framers encouraged it. Though in the early days of the Union, I am quite sure that it did not include 24/7 cable chatterers. It did not include daily tracking polls, and over paid pundits bloviating non-stop.
I am wondering what has changed since January 20th 2009? Less than two weeks in office, Hickory Dick Cheney came out calling Mr. Obama weak, not acting in America's best interest. Cheney had a right to his opinions. What bothered me then and still bothers me today is that Cheney's assertion of Mr. Obama is flat out a lie. MSM knows this but covers it at nauseum and equates Cheney's lies as he said she said crap.
It took Mr. Gore almost two years before he came out and spoke against Bush. It was about the Iraq war. MSM did not cover it. They reported on it. Only C-span covered it live. The meme then was that we were attacked. We had two wars. No one should criticize Bush because it reflected on the troops morale. The last time I checked, the two wars are still on going.
As if this was not enough, Liz Cheney is now another critic of the current president. What are her credentials one would wonder? Under what authority does she speak? Did the election of Dick Cheney as VP some how got transferred to Liz Cheney? Is that constitutional? Hell No.
Calling the President UN-American, dithering, bowing to the Japanese Emperor some how weakens American is a bit much for me. The same duo in June of 2009 made a request to Mr. Obama for an unprecedented protection request for a VP and his family. An extension after the expiration of the required six months. It had NEVER happened in our history. Mr. Obama, the weak, UN-American, approved this request. Cheney and family once again is being protected by the Secret Service on tax payers' dime; for what, I do not know. Sadly, this act generated very little coverage.

John McCain and Sarah Palin ran in 2008 and lost. At least, twice a month, since the election, McCain is on a Sunday show getting a face time pounding on the President. On the night of the election, McCain had said that he would work with Mr. Obama to move the country forward. Since the election, Mr. McCain had done very little to move this country forward. He has become the opposition. MSM and Fox have elevated McCain to the role of the opposition as in a parliamentary system. This thus far, has never been done before. Mr Al Gore, and Mr. John Kerry respectively, were never given this role. Why was it not so? Why the change?
Now Sarah Palin is being asked to rate the performance of the President by none other than Barbara Walters. What is going on?

MSM has an agenda, so does Fox. Fox current VP has said on record that the network is now an opposition to Mr. Obama. Since when is a 'news' net work an opposition?

A growing number of Liberals and Progressives are now down on the President. A lot of his base are now flipping him off. This is their right. I get it.
My question is this, where are Mr. Obama's backers? Who are willing to make sure that this country is not going to be back in 2010 with the republican control? Do we want to throw the baby out with the bath water?
The way I see it, I will never be a part of the MSM, Fox, Beck Rush and the 1300 talk haters. Their goal is to render this presidency impotent. I do not blindly support the Obama team; however, I will support them unconditionally.
