After only a few days, Fox News does its &quotduty,&quot and, of course, all the while, remaining &quotfair and balanced,&quot finds reasons Americans should fear the Obama administration.

As Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart shows, the attacks on Obama - some that even the Fox hosts themselves considered ridiculous but still decided to air to sound off on - began in the first twenty-four hours of his presidency.

&quotHoly shit! Fox News is really scared about what might happen, oblivious to what already has,&quot exclaimed Stewart, sounding as &quotshocked&quot as Claude Rains pretended to be about gambling in Casablanca.

After playing an old clip of Fox’s Bill O’Reilly sounding off on the &quotanti-Bush liberals&quot (&quotBut this hate stuff, this rooting for the administration to fail in Iraq and other areas is un-American, unbecoming, and unacceptable. Like him or not, Mr. Bush is the elected leader of this country…&quot said O’Reilly in March of 2007), Stewart showed conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh talking about how he wants Obama to &quotfail,&quot during an appearance on FOX News’ Hannity on Wednesday.

&quotI am hearing many Republicans say that — well, we want him to succeed and prominent Republicans,&quot Limbaugh had said. &quotYes, we wanted — they have laid down. They have totally — they’re drinking the Kool-Aid, too.&quot

&quotSo I shamelessly say, no, I want him to fail,&quot O’Reilly said later in the interview with Hannity.

Not really joking, Comedy Central’s Stewart asked, &quotDoes Bill O’Reilly think Rush Limbaugh hates America?&quot

Stewart posited that Limbaugh’s words could be considered &quotarguably treasonous.&quot

    SO stupid about as stupid as liberals wanting to prosicute President Bush for war crimes in the wake of all the contriversay surrounding Obama and the many lies he told to get and now stumbling around as prssident. No one wants him to fail as president for the sake of our country but yes some of his policies we want to see fail. HUGE difference!!!
