I am so sick of it!

Sick of hearing that tired old meme that Obama has never made his case to the American people. Andrea Mitchell just said that President Obama's surrogates make his points better than he does. And she isn't the only one who is saying that. It's the same when they insinuate that President Obama only talks about Bush and the mess he inherited. It's just so much bullshit. Every time I hear him speak - in a presser ( when they allow him to have one) or on the stump, he makes his case. He is concise and clear and to the point. These pundits are so freaking obtuse, it is pissing me off.

Oh and another thing..the press usually runs to a President's press conference.. but not so much with this President.

Ok
I feel better now

Go ahead and flame away I guess.

My husband always starts complaining when she comes on - about the bias coming from her. SO quick to jump with that fake concern on that Nazi reference thing.

I, for one, am sick of THAT! Hey, if the GOP assholes sound like Nazis, acts like Nazis, walk like Nazis, and quack like Nazis then they must be - what? Ducks?

Her bias is showing - GLARINGLY. My husband gets pissed off by her and by - well, the MSNBC individual he refers to as "Fuck Turd (or Toad, depending on his mood)."

Has to be killing those two that the Dem convention has gone so well and been so spirited. It's gotta kill those two. Clearly - at least judging from their track record and their on-camera behavior, they prefer the other side to ours.

I thank God that my husband is never up in time to see joe scarborough. He'd probably throw a coffee cup through our TV!

'gaffe'.

Today HuffPo actually has a piece about a gaffe that Biden didn't even make.
They reported what he said, and there was NOTHING there.

All at the same time while Richy and the Liar are spewing lies and making gaffes that go unreported.

Sick. of. it.

for tooting his own horn. I can just hear it now. "Did you see the Pres. bragging about.....yada, yada, yada." Gee, could the repub press had been in the meeting with all those repub pols to unseat Obama? Luntz was there, so it would seem reasonable to have media there too. IMO that is a conspiracy.

6. They blame him because they are too pathetic to point out when the GOP lies.

Andrea: "How come Obama didn't tell the people that the GOP lied?"

And next up ...

Andrea: "Now watch as I sit here quietly and let a Republicans lie endlessly even though I know they are lying."

Some JACKASS "historian" was on Tamron's show just a bit ago talking about FDR's "fireside chat" radio addresses and the tired meme about why Obama doesn't do similar.




PRESIDENT OBAMA RELEASES A GODDAMN RADIO AND VIDEO ADDRESS EVERY FUCKING SATURDAY.


WHERE the FUCK are these CLUELESS people living? In rethugican land?

I try to make sure I'm up to hear it live and some stations record it and play it at other times than the 6:00 am that it runs here.

I'm SICK of the shit.
