"Un-American" Commentary From the Right?

I could not help but cheer Keith Olbermann's comment last night on this silly lie that Obama does not use the term "terrorist" or "terrorism" enough.

I've found it utterly offensive the tactic that the right is using to undermine this POTUS as he tries to do his job.

The very things that people on the right are saying publicly, are things that these same people would have decried as both "un-American" and "treasonous."

I know that I should not be floored by the willful ignorance and the rank politicization of the right, but I still remain floored. I am especially floored, because millions of Americans actually think that what these people are saying is in fact true, even in the face of real evidence to the contrary. For some, Jesus could say that Obama did it, and they would disbelieve Jesus. Unfortunately, that's the point we've reached in the current political discourse.

How does one go from "stealth" leadership figure, running a secret government out of the office of the Vice President of the United States Of America, to a blatant opportunistic media pig?

Is this transformation shocking, or telling?

Perhaps moreso the latter, as the power Cheney had was coveted and secured through questionable means. While today, the power President Obama has is being undermined at every turn and with no regard for the consequences.

Dick Cheney without control is simply out of control.

I'm just sayin'...
