BILL MAHER ON OBAMA, LETTERMAN

Comedian Bill Maher was on C-N-N yesterday, addressing his comments about President Obama and talking about the David Letterman-Sarah Palin controversy.
Maher recently criticized Obama's frequent appearances on news and entertainment shows -- places like Letterman's Late Show or soft profiles on news magazines like 60 Minutes. Maher praised Obama's oratorical skills, calling him "Jimi Hendrix and that teleprompter is his guitar," but continued his criticism -- saying the Democrats and Obama are not a liberal or progressive party. Maher characterized the Democrats as "right of center" and the Republicans the "far, far, far right."
On the Letterman front, he said his fellow talk show host was wrong to apologize to Palin, and that the joke became distorted by the media
