ABC, CBS and NBC all led Wednesday night with President Barack Obama’s address at the United Nations, but Katie Couric was the most effusive in trumpeting how Obama marked the end of the Bush era as she teased the CBS Evening News: “Tonight, the President tells the world America’s ‘go it alone’ policy is over.” Her glowing lead:
Good evening, everyone. President Obama says we have reached a “pivotal moment.” In his UN debut today, he challenged the world to work together to solve the problems facing all of us. And in a break with the “go it alone policies” of his predecessor, he said the United States is ready to begin a new chapter of international cooperation.
On NBC, Andrea Mitchell followed a similar script: “It was the President’s first speech to the United Nations and it marked a very stark departure from the policies of George W. Bush, as the President called for a new era of engagement with the rest of the world, reaching out to new friends and old foes.”

Obama's debut speech at the United Nations is going to get a lot of Americans killed! He gave no mention of, or credit to, our forefathers or those who gave their lives making our country the great nation it is; rather, in his narcissistic manner, he suggested that America mattered little until his election in January, making it clear that he will bow to every despot on the planet. What a cretin! Arlene Hoagland, Evergreen, Colorado
The usurper will live to eat every word he's ever spoken against America and we the people. He will be a pariah around the world. Labeled A liar and and cheat. His day of judgement is coming and right soon. Don't despair! His evil reign is almost over. There will no place left where he'll be welcome. Well, Maybe Syria or Kenya. After he's ousted, rest assured that he will be dealt with. Here's a man who has access to all of America's secrets. He will surely give those secrets away. If he hasn't already. Not to be trusted. Lock him up and throw away the key.
Mr. Obama MUST be reminded that the reason America has always been respected if not admired is because we are capable of standing alone in the world if need be. We are a country made up of individuals who join together to form a people as in :We the People…. We get our strength from that inate desire for freedom and that is the heart of our country. He seems to be making every effort to cause cardiac arrest to this country. He MUST be reminded America's history does not begin with him and there have been greater men that have led our country than him. He hasn't been around long enough for history to judge him and he should not presume to manipulate what will be said.
Well said!
katie couric can kiss my lily white ass. She's what's wrong with this country. Totally divest her and let her live off welfare for 6 months or so to get a perspective. She'll change that high and mighty way of hers.
