Karl Rove condemns Obama's budget: 'This is going to do long-term fiscal damage'
Karl Rove has been pretending to be circumspect about the Obama stimulus plans, but last night on Sean Hannity's Fox program he cast the pretense aside and flat-out attacked the Obama stimulus.

He drew up his own whiteboard charts and claimed the budget was full of "phony stuff", concluding:

This is going to do long-term fiscal damage to the United States.

I'm not sure any member of the Bush administration should be making this kind of speculative charge. Especially considering that their budget-making in fact did inflict long-term fiscal damage.

Fox News’ Shep Smith: ‘This is America; you do not get the hold people for five years without’ charges.
Yesterday, a federal grand jury formally charged Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri — the only “enemy combatant” held inside the United States — “with two counts of providing material support to al Qaeda.” This afternoon, Fox News host Shepard Smith briefly veered off the Fox reservation and expressed outrage that al-Marri has been imprisoned for five years without any charges being filed against him:

SMITH: He has been held in a military prison for more than five years — not Chris Wallace — this next person. And he wasn’t ever charged. Think about that. I mean just think about it fundamentally. You are held for five years in prison, and you’re never charged! Oh well it was an al-Qaeda suspect, suspected al-Qaeda operative. Who cares who it is?! You don’t get to — this is America; you do not get the hold people for five years without — actually, you do. But he’s getting its day in court now.

Bill O'Reilly uses Fox's recent ratings to claim America is turning against Obama
In Bill O'Reilly's new Talking Points Memo he uses Fox News' ratings to justify his ludicrous position that America thinks they are the only fair and balanced news outlet in town and the other networks are sucking up to Obama's agenda.

My God, since Barack Obama became President, O'Reilly is only getting nuttier. The lunatic fringe will do everything they can to smear Obama because they fear his success tremendously. O'Reilly is worried about the "nanny state," a typical right-wing term, but whatever solutions

Obama is implementing it's all because conservatism was such a failure. He reads off the FOX lineup and touts the diversity they have. Alan Colmes is no longer even host of a Fox show....

Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Greta, "the Sarah Palin Stalker," make up most of their prime time coverage. It's filled with anti-Obama, pro-Republican propaganda. Hey Bill, everybody knows it. Give up with this "Man of La Mancha" act.

He also believes Barack Obama's popularity is diminishing because people are scared over the state of the economy. In a new Gallup poll, President Obama's approval ratings just went higher.
