Bill Maher rips Barack Obama: "This is not what I voted for .. I don't want my president to be a TV star"
Self-described libertarian pundit Bill Maher ripped Barack Obama during a lengthy monologue on his HBO program Friday night, accusing the president of being obsessed with appearing on TV and failing to come through on pre-election promises.
"This is not what I voted for," Maher said. “I don’t want my president to be a TV star.”
Maher criticized Obama's constant television coverage ("I get it: you love being on TV") and said the president should focus on fixing the nation's problems instead.
"You don't have to be on television every minute of every day -- you're the president, not a rerun of 'Law & Order,'" Maher said. “TV stars are too worried bout being popular and too concerned about being renewed."
Maher continued: "You're skinny and in a hurry and in love with a nice lady -- but so is Lindsay Lohan. And just like Lindsay, we see your name in the paper a lot but we're kind of wondering when you’re actually going to do something.”
Maher added that Obama's presidential rival John McCain was right to say Obama acted like a celebrity and, amazingly for Maher, the comedian suggested Obama needs to act more like his predecessor.
“I never thought I’d say this: What [Obama] needs in his personality is a little George Bush.”

Wow Maher actually said something intelligent.
'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'

Hey Mahler, you voted for the man. What did you expect from him?
Shut up and enjoy the ride for the next four years....
SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

Yeah, Biil Maher. It was idiots like you who put him there in the first place.

Comments like that from a liberal "celebrity" may be another indication of the rest of the country growing tired (already) of President Obama's lackluster performance.

If Maher were truly intelligent he would have seen this coming.
Be kind, be courteous . . .
and have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
