Bill Maher Challenges Obama:Stand Up For The 70 Percent Of AmericansWho Aren't Crazy" (VIDEO)

On "Real Time" Friday night, host Bill Maher closed his show with some sharp words for the Obama administration with regards to how they have responded to criticism from figures such as Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin.


Maher called the White House "cowards" for allowing Van Jones to resign following a series of right-wing attacks and for capitulating to those who complained about the nature of Obama's back-to-school speech.


"The Democrats just never learn. Americans don't really care which side of an issue you're on as long as you don't act like pussies," Maher said.


Maher then criticized Obama for trying to win over those who vehemently disagree with him, insisting that the president should instead "stand up for the 70 percent of Americans who aren't crazy."


"When are we going to actually show up in all this," Maher said.

Americans think nation still mired in recession, CNN poll finds

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Nearly 9 in 10 Americans say the country's still in a recession, according to a new national poll.

Eighty-seven percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Thursday morning say the nation's in a serious, moderate or mild recession, and nearly 7 in 10 say things are going badly in the country today.

"Economists may be speculating that the recession is over, but don't tell that to the American public," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

"The good news -- if you can call it good news -- is that the number who say things are going badly has been dropping steadily since last fall -- from an all-time high of 83 percent in November to 77 percent in April and 69 percent now."..More
