Summary: Cenk plays and breaks down a clip of Obama mocking Tea Partiers complaining about raised taxes despite the fact that the vast majority of Americans got tax cuts. Then he plays and breaks down a clip of the absurd spin Fox News put on Obama's statements.

1. I think that Faux newscasters are upset

because they're in that tax bracket ... >$250K a year ...

2. if you've already accused him of being a tyrant...

You call him an enemy of America, a totalitarian who is going to take away everyone's liberties and establish totalitarianism, then it doesn't make any kind of sense to get all upset when he mildly jabs the protesters.

4. Every time I watch a clip about Fox, I am re-awed at the stupidity of their viewers.

5. It gripes the shit out of me

every time they say Obama is arrogant, looking down, etc. After the smirking B*sh and Sneering Cheney? They ran washington for GOP only, no regard at all for the other half of their constituents :grr: They may as well say Obama is Uppity, and doesn't know his place. Geezus.

6. K&R I posted Obama's comments with Olbermann's take in GDP

I love the way Cenk pwned Faux again. I wonder how much of the Obama clip they showed. Probably just the bit where he says, "You would think they would be saying thank you".

"Space... Uranus... Mars.... Blah!" :rofl:

7. He can't say anything, because he knows that 95% of us got tax breaks

His whole nonsensical speil was a diversion from the facts. No even well played if I may add.
