she's a daytime bastion of NPR

although a good chunk of shows in that list were the conservative (no question the most profitable and populated in the genre), there were also a number of national public radio shows, religious shows, general public affairs and mainstream network radio shows also included

how in the world i recognized so many of those shows on the whole broadcast list, i'll never know... i guess i just love radio too much... especially non-clear channel terrestrial radio... thank lord the internet is there so i can sample "local stations" all over the planet

i think they should have thrown Mike & Mike and Jim Rome in there to really cross this over

Seriously Obama.... The "blame it all on Bush" strategy is starting to wear a little thin so just about the time you would think he could man up and take some responsibility for his administration, he..... BLAMES SNOW???

ROFL

It is completely inconcievable that large blizzards could have prevented people from spending money!

3/1/2010 6:47:30 PM

Yep, there's no reason to think record-breaking blizzards could have any effect on the economy. What an absurd excuse.

3/1/2010 6:52:25 PM

I'm just pointing out a pattern of behavior.... Usually someone who is habitually late/absent always has an excuse also. There's always an excuse for everything.


I don't care if its a legitimate reason or not - it speaks to his character that he is constantly out there pointing the finger away from himself. He should let the facts speak for themselves. We all know about the blizzards and we all know the impact they have on the economy and jobs figures.

3/1/2010 6:55:32 PM

Heaven forbid the white house economic advisor try to explain what actually happened to the economy, that's just Obama being a pussy!

I never saw this amount of finger pointing come out of the Bush administration.

3/1/2010 7:02:02 PM

You didn't look for it. Hell there's a pretty good one that was blatantly obvious, he never really took responsibility for 9/11.

3/1/2010 7:04:58 PM

are you freaking kidding me? he never blamed the prior administration either, which is a hell of a lot better than Obama blaming bush EVERY damn speech for a year and continuing.

"SECRETARY RICE: I’d just say read the 9/11 report. We went through this. We went through this argument. The fact of the matter is I think the 9/11 Commission got it about right. Nobody organized this country or the international community to fight the terrorist threat that was upon us until 9/11. I would be the first to say that because, you know, we didn’t fight the war on terror in the way that we’re fighting it now. We just weren’t organized as a country either domestically or as a leader internationally."

keep going, because you have approximately 395 more examples to come up with (out of 8 years of Bush's presidency) to match Obama's first years worth of finger pointing.

3/1/2010 7:21:12 PM

Perhaps you should just admit that every president tends to place blame on previous administrations.

3/1/2010 7:26:58 PM

"the buck stops here"

no president in recent history has frantically blamed everyone but himself more than Obama.

3/1/2010 8:17:48 PM

Obama has accepted more blame for things than he actually deserves.

I love how before the SOTU, people were waiting for him to blame bush for everything, and he never did.

Just because you keep repeating something doesn't make it true, you know.

Besides the day to day administrative aspects of running a country, President has already signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, he signed a bill to expand veteran benefits, he signed kids tobacco legislation, he signed a major land protection act, & SCHIP, gave the Cairo speech & followed it up with appointing special envoys, the first time home buyers credit has seemed pretty popular, he gave a widely watched education speech & is making education a bigger priority recently, he's advocated for science in our schools, & is for stem cell research, he's appointed a supreme court justice, he's ordered a return to the army field manual to prevent torture, respects the Geneva Convention, and has plans to close Gitmo, he's working to end DADT which is polling very well right now even in NC, he's going to have us out or Iraq next year and starting to pulling out of Afghanistan (the one that actually attacked us) at the same time (using deadlines, something fiercely opposed by the previous administrations supporters), and he's changed the rules so that every visitor who enters the white house is made public to make no wiggle room for defining lobbyists, and there's the jobs bill, and a move towards more public debates like prime minister's (or in his case President's) Question Time which he did with the GOP and with the dems, and has asked to do it again.

"Field & Stream Magazine Issues Conservation Report Card For Obama Administration"

Quote :

"The four conservation issues Obama and his administration were graded on by Field & Stream were: Clean Water Restoration Act; Conservation Reserve Program; Energy Policy Reform; and Mining Reform. According to Field & Stream, the majority of the Obama's poor grades can be attributed to inaction due to the administration's focus on what it has deemed "bigger" political issues like the economy and health care. That alibi has been costly to conservation though, allowing opponents of critical reform to mount lobbying efforts that will cause more harm to fish and wildlife. This argument is particularly true for the Clean Water Restoration Act, which garnered Obama a D, his lowest grade from the magazine. Once viewed as a slam dunk, this bill reinstates long-standing protections for some wetlands that were striped by two Supreme Court decisions and a compliant Bush administration. Dawdling on the part of the Obama administration, however, has allowed opponents to develop the issue into a dogfight with fish and wildlife, and hunters and anglers, the likely big losers. Obama's C for Energy Policy Reform was his highest mark from the magazine. The administration was rewarded for changes to BLM lease review plans that include considerations for fish and wildlife, however its not clear if the same considerations will be given in the rush for solar and wind energy development. Field & Stream issued Incompletes to Obama for the Conservation Reserve Program and Mining Reform. Obama officials have offered strong support for reform on both issues but conservationists have seen little action yet. "

Im not sure how much of this is on Obama, as both the Clean Water Restoration Act and Appalachia Restoration act are both stuck in Congress. But I would love to see Obama bring attention to these bills and help nudge them through.

Obama: "What I worry would be that you essentially still have two chambers, the House and the Senate, but that you simply have majoritarian absolute power on either side. And that’s just not what the founders intended.”

Harry Reid: "The right to extend debate is never more important then when one party controls Congress and the White House. In these cases the filibuster serves as a check on power and preserves our limited government."

Chris Dodd talked about bipartisanship: “We need to sit down and work with each other. The rules of this institution have required that. That’s why we exist. Why have a bicameral legislative body? Why have two chambers? What were the framers thinking about 218 years ago? They understood, Mr. President, that there is a tyranny of the majority.”

Dianne Feinstein: "If the Republican leadership insists on forcing the nuclear option, the Senate becomes ipso facto the House of Representatives, where the majority rules supreme, and the party in power can dominate, and control the agenda with absolute power."

Hillary Clinton: "You’ve got majority rule, and then you’ve got this Senate over here where people can slow things down, where they can debate, where they have something called the filibuster. You know, it seems like it’s a little less than efficient. Well, that’s right. It is. And deliberately designed to be so."

And Joe Biden: "I say to my friends on the Republican side, you may own the field now, but you won’t own it forever. And I pray God when the Democrats take back control we don't make the kind of naked power grab you are doing."
