How you seen that magazine with Obama as...?

George Washington? I mean, he's been in office for about a week, and they are comparing him to one of the greatest men in history? This is getting rediculous.

    I wouldnt buy ANY butt kissing magazine that glorified that cool aider. We all know he only became president because of his SKIN COLOR.

    I'm 34 and I've never seen anything like this. I think it's dangerous. What if he gets in his head that he perfect and great and feels like he can do whatever the hell he wants. Drunk with power so to speak. I've never been this concerned before. From what I've heard Nancy Pelosi wants to put the Fairness Doctrine on radio so that will almost silence any opposition since the conservatives rule the airwaves and the liberals rule television. Why not implement this on ABC, NBC and CBS? That's scary.

    You should've seen the comparisons Fox news made to the headlines in local papers during Bush's first weeks in office, they were like .04% as favorable as the headlines Obama is getting now! Granted, Bush wasn't exactly a genius, but you have to give the man a chance and respect the honeymoon period like you do with any president. Is Obama a genius? Not quite, far from it actually. The bias is incredible!

    The Mainstream Media is hoping that if "you say it often enough people will believe its true". I think it is too early to compare yet, but if President Obama is continually placed at the level of our greatest presidents (Lincoln, Washington) he will be seen to be woefully lacking in greatness. Hey lefties don't grab your chisels and head toward Mt. Rushmore yet.

    He will be a better president than the last one. Bush had the lowest approval rating for any president leaving office. Obama will me much better than Alfred E Newman(Bush)

    Well.. a lot of people thought that he's like Alfred E. Newman.

    It is way BEYOND ridiculous. But the longer he is in office and the more campaign promises he fails to deliver, the more people will start to spit out the kool aid and see him for what he is.

    I don't even see George Washington as one of our greatest president. They are comparing him because GW was the first president ever and Obama is the first ever president of colour. But go ahead a jump to conclusions based on your hate and a picture.
