VERY interesting. Price is Right. Katie Couric 10 Seconds. Obama.
 
I believe I see what that all-living-presidents confab was about yesterday.
I was watching "my show" Price is Right (I'm a second-shifter. That's my morning coffee show). 
Then, suddenly, it's the Special Report banner and music. For a split second I thought "terror-attack".....but realized that that wouldn't be a Special Report. Something planned with the networks was happening.

Then, Katie C.

And here's what startled me. She said merely: President-elect Obama will address the nation on the economic crisis. He is not waiting the 12 days until inauguration (essentially). Then, Boom, out walks Obama. Just. that. fast.

Clearly, the Living Presidents advised and consented to this unprecedented early-taking yesterday. The Networks were informed. The feed was set up and Obama assumed presidential status immediately.
If Katie C. and the Captive (corporate) Media are snapping to attention like this then something profoundly different has passed through the very bowels of the American Oligarchy.

This may go in my Book of Memories as the moment I felt a truly significant change in this country. Right next to James Baker calling the Florida Recount a "crime" and, before that, James Watt on his knees praying in his office (the first moment I knew America was in a very new, very serious kind of trouble).

The Price is Right. A totally deferential Katie. An entrance and a speech. 1,2,3.

This is a something new. And after 28 years of non-stop dread, it's POSITIVE!

This is so sad it's funny.

The media has been in the tank for Democrats/liberals for decades now, but of course the kooks at the DUmp are too stupid to recognize this.  Was there any doubt that the media would "snapp(ing) to attention" when their lord and savior wanted to miraculously appear on the magic box?  No, that was a given.  But to the stickinthebutt primitive, this is "something profoundly different."

I guarentee that when The Rookie asks for air time...the networks won't say no like they did with President Bush.

The Rookie won't ask....he'll tell them.  That's part of the "change".

Hold on folks...this is going to be a bumpy 4 years....

Katie Couric, deferential to Obama?  My, what a shocker.     Not very change-y, I have to say.  She's been adversarial with every Republican and wearing the kneepads and bib for every Democrat for as long as she could get camera time.
