I'll agree there, and further that the bending over of the media, which I thought would decrease after the election, has only gotten worse and more widespread.
Oh, and while I didn't vote for Obama, I am on record as an independent (slight lean right fiscal, left leaning moral) who liked Obama but didn't vote for him because of my belief that McCain would make a better Commander-In-Chief and that we needed to retain some balance of power, which we certainly do not have now.
Unlike Limbaugh, I really want this man to succeed, as long as there is some semblance of free market capitalism left when he's done, which I'm beginning to doubt.
I really worry about some of you that aren't affected, or don't seem at least a little concerned by the sheer size of the porkulous bill, a treasurer that didn't pay his own taxes, the downright creepy campaign promise break of bill transparency (both record breaking spending bills he's signed so far where jammed through so fast, members of Congress didn't have time to review them, much less us, and certainly not for 5 days on the internet like he promised), the campaign promise break on earmarks, their weird fascination for Rush Limbaugh (at a time when we have a few more things to worry about than a radio personality), the laying down to and apparent complete subordination to Pelosi and Reid (which is exactly why I viewed "balance of power" such a big issue in my decision not to vote for him), and the major military moves that are beginning to take place by damn near every one of our enemies to "test" his will (the chance is they wouldn't have been as bold against McCain, but who really knows that answer).
To me those are legitimate concerns by any free thinking person who either did or didn't vote for Obama, and many of you will either deny, defend, or ignore all or most of them, which kinda scares me.
