Fox Cuts Away From Obama-GOP Conversation In Order To Get A Head Start On Attacks: He Was ‘Lecturing’
Fox Cuts Away From Obama-GOP Conversation In Order To Get A Head Start On Attacks: He Was ‘Lecturing’
President Obama held a candid, face-to-face conversation with House Republicans today at their annual retreat in Baltimore. After Obama gave his remarks, he had to answer tough questions from Republican lawmakers about health care, the budget, taxes, and other issues. Although the riveting exchange lasted over an hour, both CNN and MSNBC aired the entire event.
However, at 1:11 p.m. ET — when there was still 20 minutes left to go — Fox News decided to cut away and begin its commentary. Anchor Trace Gallagher’s immediate reaction was that Obama was being too “combative” and “lecturing” — like he was at his State of the Union address. Correspondent Bret Baier agreed, saying there was “a little bit of that,” but conceded that there was a “decent…give-and-take on the specifics.” Watch it:
Unsurprisingly, Fox is echoing a Republican talking point. Several Republicans complained that Obama was lecturing them in his State of the Union speech:
– “I felt like he was admonishing Congress and certainly lecturing Republicans, accusing us of being an obstructionist party, when what it is we’re about is trying to focus on the issue, which is control the spending and let’s go about creating an environment for jobs.” — House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA)
– “The address was ‘more of a lecture, I thought, in tone,’ [Cornyn] said, but Obama ‘gives a great speech.’” — Rep. John Cornyn (R-TX)
– “In a word, ‘lecture’ [is what I thought of Obama's State of the Union speech]. I think there was quite a bit of lecturing, not leading in that, as opposed to Governor McDonnell’s follow-up comments, quite inspiring his connection with the people. He absolutely gets it, he understands government’s appropriate role.” — Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, 1/27/10, Fox News
Not only did Fox cut away from the Obama-GOP exchange, but the network then brought on Rep. Peter King (R-NY) — who was still in New York “because of the whole 9/11 controversy with the trials” — about 10 minutes later to start commenting on Obama’s performance. A look at what was happening on all the networks at that time:

January 29th, 2010 at 4:41 pmLOL! Can’t handle the heat so they get out of the kitchen! Typical p*ssy coward conservatives…
January 29th, 2010 at 4:42 pmthey got a lecture,
because they deserve to be lectured.
(and have their paychecks docked. wtf kind of way is that to “earn” your pay?)

January 29th, 2010 at 4:46 pmEh, I suppose you can cut away from the President every now and then. I’m not going to slap them around for doing that; I’ve seen it happen on other networks before.
They don’t like the President, so why stick with displaying his conference? They can show whatever they want whenever they want.
I just won’t see what they show as being beneficial to their cause except to cater to their fan base. The average watcher, if they are not informed on the slant of the network, will just switch over to another network.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:46 pmthey shoulda had to stay after class and copy the Nation’s Founding Documents on the chalkboard 500 times.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:47 pmFux Nutwork can cut away from Obama-GOP conversation all they want. But, the fact remains is that Obama was the parent and the GOP were bratty children that were spanked by the parent today. And here is one example question from a GOP nimrod lawmaker.
TPM:
Obama Takes Down Hensarling At GOP Retreat
At today’s Q&A between President Obama and House GOP-ers, Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) asked the president a long question about the budget and the deficit.
Hensarling claimed that Obama had increased the national deficit by the same rate per month as Republicans had per year.

January 29th, 2010 at 4:47 pmFox Director – Quick, cut to something else, he is slaughtering them.
Control Switcher – What should I cut to? The usual?
Fox Director – Yeah, the plastic booby stuff, our Fox viewers will be distracted by those.

January 29th, 2010 at 4:48 pm“Several Republicans complained that Obama was lecturing them in his State of the Union speech.”
*face palms so hard that face sticks out of back of skull*
No shit…really? Maybe you f***ers deserved a lecture. You could use another one. Maybe you should try learning something called respect? Ah…who am I kidding? Republicans hate learning and doing new things.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:49 pmLL – that’s exactly why fox did that. after all, there’s no $ to be made if the foxsuckers catch on to what’s really going on.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:50 pmSomebody call the Waaaahmbulance for Faux News.
The Rethuglicans are clutching at their pearls.
Remember when we had a president that couldn’t even deliver a coherent speech to hand-picked partisan crowds?
YES, we can.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:51 pmfaux, I’m taking my football and going home
January 29th, 2010 at 4:53 pmMore Republican victimology. Calling these guys pussies understates the situation.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:54 pmThe real question is, will there be enough kleenex to go around?
January 29th, 2010 at 4:54 pmHe won’t accept that bela, it’s too TRUE for jwest. It doesn’t fit his agenda and will be discarded as unreliable.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:55 pmI’m trying to remember what Bush said to Democrats when he met with the Democratic caucus…
Oh, that’s right. He never did. But that sure didn’t stop him from “lecturing” them.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:55 pm18 wrong thread….. oops.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:56 pmand, as sure as the sun rises in the east, the righty objection/defense will be everything about anything BUT the content of the exchange.
all form – no substance – every time.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:56 pmAddendum to my #20:
I Know Bush did “eventually” meet with Democrats, but certainly never at this level.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:57 pmEven if he is lecturing them, so what? They clearly need it. He put them in their place, shot down their talking points and what are they really left with?
Continuing to lie and mislead.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:57 pmObama took the stooges, stuffed them in the pipe and fired em up. Really made my work day go by much faster. That’s the guy I elected damnit!
January 29th, 2010 at 4:58 pmRepublicans complain about being lectured to in much the same way as a child does not like being lectured by a parent. I am certain they are even more resentful because Obama is a black man.
Some children need more than just a lecture, they need punishment and these Republican children have not been punished in a very long time.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:59 pmWhat Faux really said:
Waaahhh! He’s being mean! Mommmmmmyyyyy!
January 29th, 2010 at 5:00 pm“I felt like he was admonishing Congress and certainly lecturing Republicans”
Evidently Cantor isn’t totally oblivious. Now, sir, considering your past actions, just why shouldn’t you be called on the carpet? Remember that whole checks and balances thingie? Do you truly think you get to misbehave and no one can call you to task?
January 29th, 2010 at 5:00 pmFrank Luntz told them to use the word ‘lecture’ not ‘uppity’.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:01 pmLefty Liberal says:
I think those f***ers deserve to be b!tch slapped myself…
Yes…with a pillow case full of brass door nobs.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:01 pmThis comment has been voted down. Click to read.
Obama was lecturing,but Republicans had no answers..so they felt they were lectured.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:02 pmAfter all, it is not a a bad idea to lecture GOP congress members.They need that.
Lecturing? This only begs the question: since there were more of them in the room, why didn’t they lecture the President? Could it be that they can’t since they don’t have the facts to lecture?
Republicans: “We didn’t think he’d actually take de-bait so’s we wuz surprised that he actually won de-bate. Too bad we caan’t jes say he wuz bein’ an uppity-ni99er. How’s ’bout we jes say he wuz lecturing? “
January 29th, 2010 at 5:03 pmAnd what the hell kind of a name is hensnarling?
Kind of like chickengrimace?
January 29th, 2010 at 5:03 pmSomeone really needs to inform the minority party in Congress that no one appointed them king for the day. Time to tell them their No attitude just ain’t cutting it in helping get the country on track.
Oh wait, someone just did.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:03 pmIt’s good to know if my cable company gets rid of Comedy Central, Fox “News” will still provide me with some comedy. Even though it is funny and sad at the same time.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:05 pmThey deserved something a lot more severe than a damn lecture, that’s for sure.
Also, Fox (Shep Smith excepted) are feeble cowards.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:05 pmdrhunt, we don’t tune in the la la land channel.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:06 pmdrhunt says:
Who was the GOP congressman from Texas that ripped him a new one?
LOL! Poor little d**kless khunt is making sh*t up again! Obama shoved your “boy”’s nose in his own sh!t! How fun was that??!!!
drhunt says:
I caught a small piece of it earlier, and you could see the disdain in Obama’s eyes…after the Rep. cited multiple facts and figures…Obama went back to the same old, tired lines of what he inherited, not addressing the points that the Rep from Texas made…it was great. Did you happen to catch it?
You mean where Obama shut down his lies for what they were? The mess that Bush created? LOL! Yes it was great to see Obama make you retards eat your own sh!t little dum bass khunt!!!! ;)
I’m guessing you missed the news the GDP growth was almost 6% last quarter? Go Obama, way to show you retards what a bunch of ignorant morons you are! ;)
January 29th, 2010 at 5:06 pmreally drdemento? So one person may have had a lucid moment that prompted Faux to cut away from the coverage? Is that what happened?
January 29th, 2010 at 5:08 pmConsidering the high the GOP was on earlier in the week with Brown’s victory in Massachusetts, I’d say the wave crashed right around the SOTU address, then was nothing but a ripple by today.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:08 pmwhichdoktor Hunt, that would be Rep ChickenGrimace, getting his ass handed to him after spouting the usual Republican line of utter BS.

Poor little Dum Redneck kHunt thinks everyone can hear the voices in her head! Like the other night when she claimed that legislation to regulate housing had new restrictions because the voices in her head told her so, even after I pointed her to the text of the legislation that debunked her insane claim. Didn’t stop her, she kept repeating that “it was true” even when the evidence debunked her b*llsh*t claim. Poor little khunt is retarded, forgive her for hearing things… ;)

January 29th, 2010 at 5:10 pmThis will not be forgotten here, it was the day the astro-turf spin-machine’s “teleprompter” talking point was laid to rest for ever.

Fixed it!
January 29th, 2010 at 5:12 pmWhat the stupid troll fails to understand is that SaudiFAUX wouldn’t have cut away if they didn’t think it was damaging to their cause.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:13 pmLefty Liberal says:
You have a bit of a vicious streak to you… I like it!
Well I said I had a pacifist side to me…maybe more restraint than anything else. Maybe just a heavy wooden club (aka the clue bat) and a few minutes with them in a locked room would make me feel better.

January 29th, 2010 at 5:15 pmHmmm, no coverage of the Haiti telethon, cutting away from the President’s spanking, I mean conference with Republicans, yeah, Faux is definitely fairly unbalanced. I’m just wondering if its Rupert or the Prince.
Tell me trolls, which foreigner runs your news department?
January 29th, 2010 at 5:16 pmDr Hunt:
It has been 7 days and you’ve still haven’t cited any facts from the reality based universe to back-up your assertion that President Obama is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the United States of America.
Are you now going to retract that claim and apologize for wasting our time with that troll nonsense?
January 29th, 2010 at 5:16 pmWhat was the talking point the GOP used on Obama up toward the election? That he was too ‘professorial’.
What do professors do? Lecture.
The GOP is pushing the same old talking points as they were before. Shock and awe that they would do this should be in no one’s mind.
I’m glad they had their asses handed to them at the Q and A session, they deserve it.

oddly enough.. i’m cool with it =)
January 29th, 2010 at 5:17 pmdrhunt,
Spending your time propagandizing for the fascist Republican Party is no way to go through life. The representative from Texas made a fool out of himself and embarrassed Texas, Obama humiliated him and the entire GOP.
That disdain you saw in Obama’s eyes is the same disdain that every patriotic Americans feels for the Republican Party.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:17 pmlecturing?
January 29th, 2010 at 5:17 pmwhat else do you do with petuchalnt children who don’t understand shit? you lecture them in an effort to educate them
He Was ‘Lecturing’
He should have been beating the sh!t out of republicans.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:17 pmYou can only lecture people who have no defense for their actions.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:18 pmlike a 3 y/o who simply cannot wait to start the tantruming and whining
January 29th, 2010 at 5:18 pmTry posting on foxnation.com. You will find posts that contain facts or encouragement of others to unite for the better cause will be deleted.
The agenda at fox is to keep lies,anger and spin going for distraction from the real facts.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:18 pmAnother day – same response:
fux news – pre-emt and spin
trolls – defend fux news
is anyone surprised?
January 29th, 2010 at 5:19 pmIt’s the same “logic” that caused Becky to tell his worshipers, “don’t watch the SOTU, I’ll watch it for you”.
The GOP and SaudiFAUX are unwilling to face the risk that their worshipers might actually listen to what President Obama has to say. Even morons might start to realize how much sense he makes.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:19 pmThe GOP deserves to be lectured. They act like spoiled, bratty, undisciplined children. Dishonest ones at that.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:19 pmI don’t think it will be forgotten, because we are going to be reminding you wingnuts of it for years to come.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:20 pmmeanwhile lil petey king wasn’t there but took time out of his busy schedule to lob grenades at the president on pox cable network.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:20 pmI’m watching it right now..
He’s dealing with talking point #1
‘but you said unemployment wouldn’t go above 8%… you praaamised!’

January 29th, 2010 at 5:23 pmEvery time our country goes conservative, we wind up with an economic debacle and a recession. No thanks.

NO!!
Calling these maggots “pussies” is an offense not only to women everywhere, but to anything even remotely female and mammalian.
Calling these maggots “cockroaches” would be demeaning to cockroaches — which are, after all, the most successful multicellular organism on the planet.
Calling these maggots “maggots” is gratuitously granting them more credit than they deserve.
But calling them “pussies” has got to stop. I am very fond of my kitty cats (who, as it happens, are also very fond of me); and I’m even fonder of those female intimate parts I’ve been privileged to spend long moments with to tolerate such things being sullied as a term of apt description for the despicable excrement that are the central, defining characters of Faux Noise.

i’ll give you a hint: he was a repukeliscum with a repukeliscum senate and house of reps and he was the 43rd president.

January 29th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Yeah , because nothing says “taxes will remain the same” like the Cancervative idea of illegally and stupidly invading and occupying a sovereign nation that was no threat to us , all because of cherry-picked and trumped up intelligence ; and leaving it and it’s Afghanistan invasion off the books ………. Pipe down , you GOP leg humping moron
January 29th, 2010 at 5:27 pmdrhunt..
contrary to your beliefs.. no, he’s fixing an economic mess… he’s not playing some stupid game the way republicans do.. he’s not playing ’supply side economics’ or any other talking point drivel that you people spew.. he’s just trying to kickstart the economy after it was pushed to the brink..
and it’s working – and I know what you say here ‘jobs.. jobs.. ‘ blah blah..
how many times do people have to explain lagging indicators and the fact that when you lose about 6 million jobs.. you’ve got a huge hole to climb out of.. it’s a matter of trajectory and turning this fricken ship around..
first comes GDP.. then comes jobs.. and we’re getting there – it’s always a slow turn around.. check history if you need examples.

That’s your definition of “empty suit”? LOL! pwned yourself dum bass! LOL!
Obama was always a centrist, what planet have you been living on – moron?
drhunt says:
What are YOU going to write if he does that?!
Point out this policy is wrong and we disagree with it and work to change his mind? What will you do, follow your other socks and call him a “bolshevik” even though he’s being a centrist? LOL!

That statement means that there has never ever been a bigger hoax, which is just stupid beyond belief.
It’s apparent that you’re a pretend doctor that just makes things up, either validate your assertion with facts or STFU.
All you are doing by responding with your troll shit is digging the hole deeper and deeper.

You mean the “latest” GOP spying and political espionage case? There are always one of those going on patsy…
When did the GOP start worrying about “debt”? over 90% of our national debt was created under GOP presidents. You know those “supply siders?”

LOL! You don’t? That was a central theme of the 2000 election he “lost”!
drhunt says:
So far, BO has signed 3 major Bills filled with earmarks and pork, in spite of him stating…FOR THE RECORD…that he wouldn’t.
Pork tripled under Bush despite his campaign promises. hypocrisy much?

Kind of like his statement at the SOTU speech where he said that he wanted transparency in lobbying, (after, of course he placed 30 lobbyists on his staff). Change? Hardly. Hypocrite? Definitely.

Glad to see you like watching MSNBC repug.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:34 pmI love hearing the trolls. Everything they b!tch about, whine about, complain about says one thing, loud and clear. They are wet-their-pants terrified. Not of al-Qaeda. Not of terrorist attacks from over seas. They are petrified of two things.
The Progressive agenda that is focused on our citizens and rebuilding our country and its economy in a fashion that is sustainable.
The scary dude in the White House who is smarter than all the Republicans put together.
Oh and a side terror is that their inflatable doll will spring a leak and make that whoopee cushion noise at them they hate.

As the old adage goes, Conservatism never fails, politicians only fail conservatism! I just love that “personal responsibility” that helps conservatives beat their same inbred heads against the wall failure after failure never realizing it’s their ideology that’s the failure! ;)

January 29th, 2010 at 5:35 pmi love it when cancervatards try to distance themselves from 43, also known as the albatross around there necks. right drhunt?
January 29th, 2010 at 5:35 pmThey accuse President Obama of every problem with the economy that came about through all the deregulation started by their hero Reagan and when he defends himself they accuse him of lecturing.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:36 pmThis is not for the benefit of stupid trolls.
The GDP went up 5.7% in the forth quarter of ‘09. That’s the biggest gain since ‘03 and, most encouraging, it wasn’t fueled by the energy industry “earning” record profits. Of course, SaudiFAUX won’t mention that little fact.

January 29th, 2010 at 5:36 pmwhat the democrat party really means says:
“Obama said he will offer a $5000 tax credit for every job created by business.”
here’s the difference, tard. cancervatards give tax breaks to multinational corporations who outsource american jobs. obama is talking about small businesses not exxon mobil.

LOL… luckily Bush never promised he wouldn’t illegally invade a country or two.. add 5 trillion to the debt… watch as a US city gets flooded and not react.. and he never promised the worst terrorist attack on our country wouldn’t happen either..
He was a smart guy.. thinking ahead he was!

What? You mean Faux lied when it said the Dow would surge if Brown was elected? You mean that the Dow is still down after the SCOTUS ruling on corporate citizenship? Oh, the agony. Faux lied to us.

drhunt says:
Supply-side economics is EXACTLY what he’s falling back on now, because they’ve run out of ideas…
Really? Is that why the GDP grew almost 6% last quarter? ;)
drhunt says:
they’ve spent WAY too much money, tripling down on that same debt you progressives LOVE to beat up Bush over, (never mind that Bush had a Dem run Congress the last two years, where the MAJORITY of his deficits grew).
I know you’re b**ching about the Bush deficits, but ill advised economic policies and tax cuts prolonged the first Bush recession while increasing deficits. Meanwhile the Obama spending produced almost 6% gdp growth last quarter despite Bush’s budget for most of the year.
drhunt says:
Supply-side! Get used to it…there’s, no doubt, more to come!
So you’re saying we should get used to more recessions brought about by failed GOP economic policies? LOL! We’ll see khunt!
January 29th, 2010 at 5:39 pmThese are the first squeals by Republicans who are getting beaten up for their obstructive conduct. Lets hope Obama continues to berate them and the Dems force a couple filibusters. By the time the elections are held in November, the Republican brand will be so tarnished that even their own regular party members will not vote. Fox News with its attacks on Obama and the Dems will be pissing in the wind.

The Chinese declined, he said.”

“President Bush publicly called for GSE reform 17 times in 2008 alone before Congress acted.”
Of course, this would be more than a little bit of closing the barn door after the horse had already left, since the first sub-prime lenders went bell-up in the spring of 2006, and by February 2007 (a mere month after Democrats took over control of the Congress) the crisis was already starting to effect the larger economy.

Trickle down theory does not work, yet some people persist in peddling it. The theory died when Alan Greenspan, appointed by Reagan and chief proponent of trickle down, admitted in his testimony before Congress that his theories are flawed and that included deregulation of the banking industry. Why anyone still clings to this discredited theory is beyond comprehension. It has been rejected by the public, Congress and it’s major proponent.

Arrow’s paradox pretty much demonstrates that we’ve no hope of ever seeing a real “independent” party here. Just as Perot handed the presidency to Clinton, Nader handed it to Bush. (Something like 27,000 Nader votes in Florida; if even less than 10% of these voted for Gore, while the other 90+% stayed home puling and whining, Gore wins the WH.)
Until and unless the vote system in this country is shifted from the present “all or nothing” method, we will always, only be a two-party system.

the purpose of a stimulus is to put people to work…to buy stuff and services on behalf of the government because private consumption is down–people can’t or won’t spend in a recession.
very succinctly stated..
simple enough even a GOP can understand it..
That’s one of the purposes of Govt. – it’s also the purpose of the FED… the ‘lender of last resort’ they call it..
if no one else will lend… the FED promises they will.. that’s one of the main reasons for it’s creation.. (*not that I don’t have plenty of problems with the FED… but it does have it’s uses..) When everyone is tight fisted with money – the FED and the GOVT. has to step in and get things flowing again.. it’s about the only way..
or you could just ‘wait it out’… always such a brilliant move.. try that with problems in your life.. – just wait for the problem to go away.. works real well. (snark)
January 29th, 2010 at 6:08 pmdrhunt, I am waiting for some answers.

January 29th, 2010 at 6:10 pmdrhunt: “…they’ve spent WAY too much money, tripling down on that same debt you progressives LOVE to beat up Bush over”
When Bush took over in 2001, the national debt was about $7 trillion. When Obama took over in 2009, the national debt was over $12 trillion. Now, it’s about $13 trillion. Those are the numbers. They are not opinions or assertions.
And Supply Side? How many times do you have to watch supply-siders run the economy into the ground before you change your religion? In 1980, before the onset of supply-side thinking, we were the world’s largest creditor nation. Today, after 30 years of supply-side thinking, we are the world’s largest debtor nation. Supply side is a political scam. It is the opposite of Adam Smith. Adam Smith felt labor, mixed with natural resources, equals wealth. Supply side says, if you build it, they will buy it. It’s basically absurd.

January 29th, 2010 at 6:14 pmSo you presume that the elections in Virginia, new Jersey and Massachusetts indicated a national mood reflective of the Obama administration… is that a correct reading of this statement?
If so, then why can we not read the same meaning in the NY-23 election, which handed a longtime Republican seat to a Democrat?
(I suspect we’ve been over this before, and you will try to explain how local issues and circumstances specific to that one race affected its outcome, yet you will pretend that this same argument does not apply to the races you cherry-picked.)
January 29th, 2010 at 6:15 pmdrhunt, once again: What is your personal issue with President Obama? Since you claim that liberals are all overly emotional while you are logical, you must certainly have some actual reason for your petty behaviour.

January 29th, 2010 at 6:18 pmdrhunt says:
#165-”Hope and Change” was the mantra in 2008. For decades, the American public has voted for their elected officials entrusting them to honor their oath of office. Rarely in my lifetime has the electorate researched their elected officials with much scrutiny. THAT’S how we ended up with Obama. Public ignorance.
Really. You are inferring the public voted for Obama on a whim. Just look at the competition-McCain peddling the same old Republican crapola that brought us to near financial ruin and the Wassila Hillbilly. And you think the public did not scrutinize the candidates?
January 29th, 2010 at 6:18 pmI asked you a question. It would be nice to get an answer instead of more deflection on your part.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:19 pmHee hee, the President gave the Repiggies the old “one-two punch,” after they thought they’d make a fool of him in their conference.
Nicely done, Mr President.

In point of irrefutible mathemtical fact(s), that won’t help. “Direct democracy” only solves the problem of insulating the legislative and executive branches of government from the most grotesque stupidities of the mob of humanity; so eliminating those insulations does not work to make things better over all. It only serves to place mob action in direct control of political power.
Point of historical fact here: the Founding Fathers were excrutiatingly familiar with the history of ancient Greece, and the effects that direct democracy had on the fortunes of Athens. It is not an accident that they coded the Constitution in such a way as to bring about a Representative Democracy, also known as a “Democratic Republic.” It was because they thought it fairly obvious that the “great mob” (my phrase) of democracy was a pack of idiots who’d govern themselves into a fascist totalitarianism unless there was some substantive prophilactic separating the people from the actual reins of power.
Now, maybe the FF’s were wrong, or at least partially wrong; certainly they had no ideas of the issues related to the aforementioned “Arrow’s Paradox.” Regardless, the electoral college system is not (necessarily) the problem, and eliminating it is not (necessarily) the answer. The problem is that, so long as wins and losses are “all or nothing” affairs, then there can be no small victories. Yet small victories are the only ways that we can genuinely influence our political system.
I’m not a big fan of the electoral college either, but consider this: The World Series is won by that team that wins the most games, not the one that scores the most points in the Series. If you are against the electoral college, then you must also oppose this method of determining the Series. Is the World Series intrinsically unfair? Just because a team has one bad game, and loses by some shocking number of points IN THAT ONE GAME, does that “prove” they were the lesser of the two teams? Or is it the ability to keep coming back and win the most games, even if only by an eyelash, that shows who the worthier team really is?
The analogy between electoral vote totals and games won, on the one hand, and total points scored and total popular votes on the other hand, seems pretty close. I first encountered this “World Series” argument in an online Scientific American article, the link to which I have long since lost (sorry).
January 29th, 2010 at 6:20 pmFirst, BO is no centrist…if you think so, then that means you’re probably a Marxist.
Heh.
Okay, if you think he’s a not a centrist then you’re letting the tea bags go to your head…
‘balls’ in your court.
Heh.

A marxist proposing “supply side options” and saying “work with me”? LOL! Who says republicans don’t have a sense of humor? LOL!
drhunt says:
Second, senators and congresspeople are elected by their constituents to represent them.
Polls show those constituents disagree with them. Now what? ;)
drhunt says:
IF the constituents don’t like certain legislation or the direction they think the Federal government is headed, they show up at town halls, they write and email their elected officials how they feel.
And Republicans ignore them because they think their Corporate sponsors can spend unlimited money in the election to “buy” their seat back! ;)
drhunt says:
Do you NOT understand this principle of “For the People, By the People”?
LOL! Ironic coming from someone that says Democracy is wrong! LOL!

The elected officials then take that message back to Washington and vote accordingly.
According to who has bought them – at least that’s the GOP way! ;)
drhunt says:
You call it obstructionism, and so does BO. I call it democracy. So did Massachusetts…BIG TIME!
LOL! You don’t know nor believe in democracy as your rant above shows… ZZzzz…
Mass was a protest against Obama not standing up to you radicals!
This proved Obama got the message.
you, not so much khunt! ;)
January 29th, 2010 at 6:21 pmHey Dr. Hunt, Scott Roeder was convicted today for killing another fellow Doctor by the name of George Tiller. Any chance of you taking his job over?
January 29th, 2010 at 6:21 pmWhoa. I asked why you thought Obama was elected President at this time and you go into some talking point barf that says he wasn’t elected by people who believed his message? The whole Do you NOT understand this principle of “For the People, By the People”? rant says what? Our president was elected by parameciums, toads and jellyfish?
Suck it up, wanker, the people did speak, they did vote and Obama is President. Deny it and you are the obstructionist.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:22 pmNice to see Obama driving you kkkrazy there kkkhunt! ;)
January 29th, 2010 at 6:22 pmSeveral trolls sent to Davey Jones’ locker….arrrr, me hearties.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:22 pmand drhunt .. do you not understand that the people are largely fools who tend to think britney spears is ‘good music’ -
the majority is almost always wrong.. hence Bush being elected twice. You combine an ignorant society with malicious propaganda networks and conservatives spewing garbage rhetoric like ‘death panels’ and waving pictures of Dachau .. in reference to health care reform..
I’m optimistic… we progressives are.. things just have to get really bad before the ignorant public wakes up and makes the right choice… if we have a set back in november – it’s just a matter of the american people’s short memory.. if we end up with Republican rule… the economy will be tanked again – the wealthy 1% will take another huge leap forward and the rest of America will eat their dust – again.
America doesn’t learn it’s lesson… but I’m always hopeful.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:23 pmdrhunt also claims Brown won in a landslide and Obama did not, despite Obama winning by a higher percentage of votes over his opponent.
he also ignores the fact that Ted Kennedy and John Kerry both had higher percentages and totals than Mr. Brown… oh, I wonder why?
January 29th, 2010 at 6:24 pmThe GOP sure whines about President Obama’s personality and personal traits a lot as opposed to actual policy. Given how many of their stances they reverse when the President suggests using them makes a pretty strong argument that the GOP is more about undermining the President than governing.
I think wanting to know why they have such emotional responses to non-emotional issues is a perfectly valid question.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:24 pmAh 6% gdp growth and an amazing economic turnaround.
so kkkhunt, if Obama caused the stock market to crash, why was the big decline under Bush and why has both the stock market and gdp growth gone “up” under Obama again?
LOL! kkkhunt those tinfoil hat conspiracy theories of yours are a hoot! LOL!
6% gdp growth, I guess socialism is good for the economy? ;)
January 29th, 2010 at 6:24 pmWhen you’re as far to the right as drhuint has shown himself to be, everything looks “leftist”.
Fact is, when a Democratic President has disappointed the liberal wing of his party, it’s because he’s too far to the center for their liking.
Thus he’s a centrist.
Extreme right-wingers like drhunt may wish they could dismiss those on the left as irrelevant, but they’re not. They define the margins of the political spectrum, and in between the two extremes lies the center, which is where the President resides.
I think wingnuts like drhunt really believe that they define the center. Since the GOP has jettisoned almost every moderate they had, they think those people are now on the left. They’re not. But try getting drhunt to understand that.

Also, who cares what Palin thinks about anything any more than any other entertainer?
January 29th, 2010 at 6:27 pmdrhunt says:
Palin stated in her acceptance speech in Mn, and I paraphrase…” terrorists are trying to kill our citizens, and he’s worried about mirandizing them”? Hmmm…the Christmas Day Bomber got mirandized in 50 minutes! So it ain’t so, Joe!
Was she referring to Scott Roeder, or another one of you teabagger terrorists?
drhunt says:
Palin stated that we should pursue nuclear power plants and off-shore drilling. BO just stated the same policy in his first SOTU…a year after he was elected. BRILLIANT!
Yawn… Yet Obama isn’t a centrist? LOL! pwned yourself again dumb sh!t! LOL!
drhunt says:
Palin discussed tax cuts to the middle class, payroll tax breaks, capital gains tax cuts…well….guess what?
Yet Obama isn’t a centrist? LOL! pwned yourself again dumb sh!t! LOL!

Yeah…she’s a real hillbilly, huh? And if so…what does that make our POTUS?

Still smarter than Palin. Hell pet rocks are smarter than Palin.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:28 pmThis comment has been voted down. Click to read.
Comparing the electoral process to the World Series is not a valid comparison. Every game in the series is determined by which team has the most runs. One game is a more legitimate comparison to the electoral process. We do not get several chances in the same election cycle to vote for presidents. The electoral college distorts the democratic principle of the candidate with the most votes wins.

But I’m sure she’s super bright “barely” getting an education compared to someone like Obama that actually attended and completed an Ivy League eduction! According to kkkhunt Obama is an “empty suit” and Palin is “brilliant”! LOL! Now that’s a delusion that takes a giant tin foil house! LOL!
January 29th, 2010 at 6:29 pmNo, Gary, to my knowledge drhunt has been very coy about his screen name, chiding those of us who first assumed he was identifying himself as a doctor.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:29 pmThe good doctor is going into flame out mode. Anything goes as he augers in. He just can’t accept that Obama is not only a centrist but that his ideas might work so he has to whine and scream as he crashes.

January 29th, 2010 at 6:31 pm“I think we have seen and hear enough of Obama on television. Does a day go by that we don’t see his mug on TV?”
1) He’s the President of this country. We saw the same shit when Bush and Clinton were in office.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:31 pm2) If we have to put up with Beck (actually just Fox in general)…you have to put up with President being on TV. I know every time he has a speech it interrupts your Palin/Beck fap session.
When I saw him at the 2004 DNC I knew he would be the frontrunner come 2008.
Wow. Good eye!
Who you got for the R’s in 2012?
Palin?
(snicker)
January 29th, 2010 at 6:31 pmUmm… he’s the President of the United States. Most people expect to see the President on TV fairly regularly.
except when he’s cuttin’ brush, of course.

you’re a retard – he’s always had an all of the above approach. – and he’s still pushing for cap and trade because climate change is real… he said it today – and he says it every time
He didn’t change his position.. and he definitely didn’t steal it from palin’s facebook page. for god’s sake wake up…
I think we should have a few more nuclear plants.. but we shouldn’t go gung ho with it – besides.. the initial cost for Nuclear power is the problem.. the up front cost is higher than all the other options. And no one has ever said we should just stop drilling oil — obviously we can’t kick the habit that easy..
also.. Obama – contrary to GOP goobers – actually considers all good ideas – I know this might seem foreign to you.. but he considers any good advice from anyone – even if it was Caribou Barbie — although he didn’t come up with the idea of nuclear power or oil drilling from that idiot… they are all options on the table – and he looks at all our possibilities.
It’s called being intelligent.. it’s called valuing other people’s input and different ideas. It’s what adults do – especially one’s whose top concern is the well being of the country.. not political points.

Well, it would have been nice to have avoided Bush… but that seems like a kinda stupid rule.
Your ‘analysis’ seems kinda stupid, too.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:35 pmNo one cares that Obama uses a teleprompter sometimes. Other than the GOP, even though their politicians use teleprompters during major speeches as well.
Note he did not in the meeting that this thread is about, so why even whine about it? Because conservatives have to always make everything about emotional responses to fact.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:35 pmOkay, now drhunt is just spinning off into outer space. He’s just saying shit that pops into his head because he can’t respond to any real questions.

January 29th, 2010 at 6:47 pmI was just visiting MMFA. We all know that beck is a sick, whatever the fck he is. I really think he is dangerous to the American public, his family, his coworkers, and himself.
He is like a rabid dog, he needs some serious help, or his family should do whats humane and put him down.
drhunt.. I don’t find you a credible source for discerning ’smart people’.
actually… if you tell me someone is intelligent – I feel inclined to believe they are manipulative lying dipshits… hence your admiration for them.
You’re voicing your objections towards Ivy leaguers – which is a typical conservative view… fear of education.. they think all that ‘knowledge’ just holds ya back… not like the innocent sarah palin– pure as the driven snow she is (gag) her mind is untouched by such plaguing qualities like ‘information’.. her mind is like the arizona wasteland she lives in – or the pathetic little town she governed.
the gop doesn’t trust intelligence.. it scares them – part of why red states don’t fund it. –

January 29th, 2010 at 6:47 pmwe don’t need no education
You tried pulling that crap with me a couple of days ago when you could not back up your claims. I guess that means according to you, we “won the debate” since you are having to resort to namecalling. Or is that stance of yours dependent on who does what, like your other positions are?
January 29th, 2010 at 6:47 pmI really doubt the President’s approval rating will drop thirty points in a matter of days.

because I’m pretty sure that the all-time low approval rating for any President is still held by the last occupant of the job.

January 29th, 2010 at 6:50 pm259. drhunt says:
No, it is because you have once again categorically demonstrated yourself to be absolutely incapable of any activity which might, by even the most reckless stretch of the imagination, ever be mistaken for intelligence or integrity, much less any combination of the two. Yet both are required on your part — in at least some infinitessimal measure — in order for any person to engage you in a reasoned discussion.
Since you repeatedly demonstrate yourself to be incapable of reason, the only thing left is abuse. And it must be confessed, that there is some amusement to be found in abusing someone as grotesquely obtuse as yourself. Although, one might also observe that it is arguably not “abuse” if people do nothing more egregious than merely observe the obvious facts regarding your inability to display anything like either intelligence or integrity. After all, this latter amounts to nothing more than telling the truth in public.
That you would find such an experience uncomfortable is scarcely surprising.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:50 pmNo, it actually makes sense for a wingnut. They really think that if someone has more money than they do, that means they’re smarter. It’s a fairly simplistic way to look at the world, but let’s face it, nuance gives them headaches.

Thanks. It’s a very basic way of putting it but that’s essentially what I got from everything I read and I spent about two months reading up on everything I could find that was related to the stimulus.
Essentially the stimulus is mostly a kick-start for the economy but there is some very good infrastructure related stuff in there.
And it’s hard to ration with a group that wants to get rid of social programs and even suspend Congress…when they can’t get their way.

January 29th, 2010 at 7:25 pmdrhunt,
UC-Davis is part of the socialist state-run system of the Peoples State of California. It is not in the same category as the more free-market Harvard or Stanford. They have TEACHERS (those who can’t) there with TENURE. Thus, how can we believe you?
Did your social-science research include EVERYONE who has ever attended Harvard? Or just the crowd you hang around with (biased sampling)?
According to the Princeton survey (not state-run), the top schools for sociology are Berkeley, Chicago (Obama taught Law there), Columbia, and my alma mater. I had 10 sociology, 8 history, and 5 poly-sci. My school was also top ten in history and poly-sci.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:26 pmAnd everybody knows it’s not what you learn at Harvard it’s who you meet and what it says on your resume. If you believe your UC MBA looks as good as a Harvard MBA on a resume you’re dumber than I thought.

If your expertise is Bio Sciences, then you cannot profess knowledge on economics, history, political science, and sociology. I know UC-Davis is good. I have lived in California the last eight years and five before that.
Again, your study of Harvard’s decline—–what was the sampling? Was it weighted? Do you know the margin of error? Or did you just talk to the group you hang around with?
The college surveys include not only an overall ranking (HARVARD #1), but also a ranking of their departments. That is how I was able to make my claim of mine being #4 in sociology and top ten in history and poly-sci.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:47 pmYou don’t go to Davis if you want an economics degree…engineering and bio sci is that school’s strength.
And yet you feel that you can lecture us on economics?

Thanks for demonstrating (again) how unfathomably stupid you are. You CLAIMED to have experience of the “degradation” (my term) of the quality of education at Harvard.
Talking to a few people from Harvard (whether you actually talked to them, and whether they were actually Harvard graduates) does not, and cannot by any wild, extravagant stretch of the imagination qualify as experience. Even someone as categorically incapable of thinking as yourself ought to be able to figure out something as trivially simple and irrefutably obvious as that.

220. pags2 says:
Comparing the electoral process to the World Series is not a valid comparison. Every game in the series is determined by which team has the most runs.
Every State is determined by who has the most votes. So the analogy is:
State is to game
as
vote is to point
The difference is that almost every state is a winner take all for the electors. This treats the votes of the losing candidate as if they don’t exist. That would include states where the race is real close. The electoral college distorts the election when Bush wins but loses the popular vote.
It still is one election rather than several different elections. The World Series gives each team 7 chances but an election has only one chance. If there were multiple elections with votes for the president during the same election cycle then the analogy to the World Series would be applicable. But we don’t have a run off election on the federal level because there are only two parties. Actually, we should return to the electoral system as it was initially devised. There would be no VP election tied to a candidate. The top vote getter was president and the second highest became the VP which in many cases was the candidate from the other party. This system would force the Republicans to participate in the legislative process. For example, McCain would have been the VP which position really has no power but becomes a part of the administration and thereby has a stake in how the country is run. If the Republicans choose to be the party of no, then McCain would be the top political target and his influence would be diminished since he cannot articulate the Republican plans. This in turn would affect the next elections.

The overall standing of UCD’s CoLA is really not a matter with which I’m concerned. The issue is that, if you were possessed of even the possibility of intelligence, neither would you be. Quite a few people get into the Ivies based upon their money and their family; more than a few extraordinarily smart people go to UCD.
But the smart ones don’t go around waving their pedigree like they were in a schoolyard, unzipping their pants to compare genital sizes the way you do.

Why don’t you ever THINK instead of spewing infantile nonsense? Oh, because thinking obviously undermines your pathetic ideology.
You made a claim, a claim that you cannot possibly support. You could have told the truth instead, but it sounds much weaker to mention that all you know about the subject is what some few people you’ve talked to have said about the subject. And now, in an even more pathetic demonstration of your absolute lack of even the most elementary thinking skills imaginable, you defend your claim by an appeal to an op-ed in USNews? About grade inflation?
And you actually imagine there is any one in the world so pathetically stupid that they haven’t already heard this? Or that there is anyone in the world, who is even casually related to higher ed, that is so pathetically stupid that they don’t know that grade inflation is a problem EVERYWHERE?
I realize that you’ve got the cognitive abilities of a “challenged” potted plant, so just to try and help you out here, “everywhere” includes UCD. These silly stories you point to aren’t saying anything that is actually news, at least not to people who aren’t morons. It isn’t a problem at Harvard, it is a problem everywhere.

From your USAToday EDITORIAL:
“Fewer than 20% of ALL college students receive grades below a B-minus, according to a study released this week by the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.”
That’s ALL college students. Yes I agree there is a great deal of grade inflation in the US today. (I was dean’s list 39 years ago). But that does not mean that Harvard is turning out dumber students. Did you ever have a “Logic” course? And I take it that your Harvard study included 3 who ran in the same circles as you.
Is it true you are the love interest of Christina Yang?
January 29th, 2010 at 8:14 pmIt’s no overstatement to say that this showdown could change the course of Obama’s presidency. This is something that has never been done and Obama will get plenty of credit from Americans for that, not to mention the excellent defense he offered of his agenda in the face of tough GOP criticism.

January 29th, 2010 at 8:18 pm00@396, Damn Straight. Obama took what they could throw at him and tossed it right back in their faces. Once again the Repugs underestimated him. The Repugs are already bemoaning the fact that this was televised. They know they look like a bunch of as*es, Good.

Notice also the correct terminology for UC Davis. In all my years I’ve never heard anyone call it UC@Davis.
Make no mistake, it’s a decent school with a well-respected enology department, but skimming through drhunt’s blather it almost sounded as though he was claiming it superior to Harvard.
Interesting, too, that he thinks Berkeley is sliding toward liberalism. Berkeley? Really? That’s pretty funny.

RUSSERT: Tom Cole — former head of the NRCC, congressman from Oklahoma — said, “He scored many points. He did really well.” Barack Obama, for an hour and a half, was able to refute every single Republican talking point used against him on the major issues of the day. In essence, it was almost like a debate where he was front and center for the majority of it. … One Republican said to me, off the record, behind closed doors: “It was a mistake that we allowed the cameras to roll like that. We should not have done that.”

As I noted (and, as you would have noted, were you capable of reading at even a 3rd grade level) the issue of grade inflation is across the board. (That’s another phrase for “everywhere.” Try giving that one a moment to sink in, so that you might have a chance of actually understanding what it means.)

Apparently, televising it was. I don’t see where what you’re quoting says what you say it says. Obviously it was an idea that sounded agreeable to both sides. But it’s as yet unknown who started the ball rolling.
January 30th, 2010 at 2:13 amPWNED!
FOX NEWS: Just like the stuff that comes out of the back end of a chicken, that’s not for breakfast.
January 30th, 2010 at 2:40 amThere is another reason Fox News cut away. Obama took a swipe at MSM when Obama asked the GOP to “show me the math” on their proposals. With that simple statement he nailed MSM for neglecting to do their job and hold the GOP accountable on their proposals. Everybody in that room understood that the math stunk to high heaven on the GOP proposals. So, it seems, did Fox News so they cut away rather than absorb more punishment. Indeed, show me the math as well.
January 30th, 2010 at 3:53 amThe other choice was McCain who finished 496th out of 499 at Navy and only got in because his father and grandfather were admirals.
Like Dubya only got into Yale and his prep school because his father and grandfather went there! His Harvard profs said he was lousy!
January 30th, 2010 at 3:54 amIs English your second language? Held is simply past tense for hold. The applicable definition of hold is “to assemble for and carry on the activity of “. The statement is completely accurate as written. The statement is neutral as to the source of who’s idea it was to assemble for a conversation in the first place so stop making shit up.
January 30th, 2010 at 4:11 amShould read “to assemble for and carry on the activity of [held a conversation]“ in 429. HTML omitted the last part when I put them in brackets instead of braces.
January 30th, 2010 at 4:17 am#407’s “Russert:” was quoting Luke Russert, Tim’s son, so pay attention. You obviously weren’t paying attention either when Obama admonished the GOP to “show me the math”. It seems to me that it way Ryan who wanted no part of Obama and not the other way around.
January 30th, 2010 at 4:40 amFrank Luntz was sitting at the front table and will presumably be telling the thickos how to spin their humiliation. You will hear “arrogance”, “lecturing”, “nationalization”. It will probably cost the RNC $20,000 or so.

“Republicans took a poll during Obama’s talks this afternoon. Took 2 doctors to get it out.”
January 30th, 2010 at 9:04 amWe report manipulations, spins and lies. You watch Fox with your prejudices and decide if we fed them well enough.
We talk over intelligence, thoughtful responses. You decide if Obama still needs a teleprompter, since we told you he did, when we don’t broadcast his intelligent remarks, so you can see we were lying to you about that too.
I have my disagreements with our president because he is a Clinton “free trade” goofball, but I am glad we have a leader that demonstrates some level of education, unlike his predecessor or the morons that corportists are still trying to shove down our throsts via the Republican party.
January 30th, 2010 at 9:42 amSarah Palin would do well to attend a “lecture” or two. A 5th grade history or geography class would be a good start. Four colleges that no one has heard of in 4 years, and I would love to know how many lectures she actually attended.

January 30th, 2010 at 11:20 amRepublicans got ROLLED yesterday! Made me pretty happy. Funny how a week ago, people thought the Democrats were screwed. What a difference a week makes:
-Newest members of Supreme Court show their true allegiance, to the corporations (Republican agendas), NOT the American people
-ACORN slanderer “pimp” gets busted for a Watergate opeation
-Obama has a great, inspiring State of the Union speech
-Obama steam rolls Republicans at their own retreat
Another thing….what’s the big deal about teleprompters? Bush never did a speech without one. In fact, Bush refused to answer “2-part questions” during his press conferences, as he rarely held a press conference. I recall the 2004 debates where Bush had that wierd backpack thing, where some thought he also had an earpiece, with someone telling him what to say.
Not using a teleprompter would be like telling someone in congress not to use a computer, or Powerpoint. Before the era of teleprompters, presidents would write their speeches on “paper”! In fact many presidents speeches were virtually memorized, or ad-libbed on the fly. Anyone who has taken a 100-level Communications (speech) class would know this, or a 7th grade speech class for that matter.
Now Obama is a “lecturer”.? That must truly make George W. Bush a monkey. Of course he is a lecturer! He is the freakin’ President of the United States! Its his JOB to lecture people on what is happening in our country! Dems should use this “lecture” commentary to their advantage.
JFK, Abe Lincoln, FDR, George Washington, etc, were also great “lecturers”. They also happened to be great presidents. Even Ronald Reagan was called “the great communicator”. So, by calling Barack Obama a good “lecturer”, can it then be said they are calling him a “good president”? Not their intention, but it is what they are saying.
Also recall “W” couldn’t even speak in complete sentances. Nice to have a president who actually knows what he is talking about, and can not only defend himself in a tough environment, but also make everyone else in the room look like a bunch of idiots in the process!

Sarah Poopsky was NOT acquitted in Troopergate. The committee found that she had abused the power of her office:
Troopergate Report: Palin “Unlawfully Abused Her Authority”
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain’s Republican ticket.
Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report to a bipartisan panel that looked into the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain.
I guess you don’t read, do you…? There is a difference between “acquitted” and “no charges were filed.”

So the Legislature found she was implicated but the Personnel Board (a three member board appointed by her Republican predecessor, one of whom contributed to Palin’s campaign, and whom she has the power to FIRE at any time) found that she was completely innocent?
And hours before the polls opened no less?

If he SHOULD have been fired then he SHOULD have been fired legally without ILLEGAL influence and pressure from Palin’s office. There are reasons we have these rules, and they are good ones.
It appears that Palin broke those rules, at least according to the Legislature.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:12 pmDo you member the fine doctors first comment at Think Progress?
He stated that next to President Obama, global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated against America.
He then spent the next twelve hours spamming the thread and provided no documentation for his original claim.
Our pathetic little troll is all hat and no horse.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:14 pmFox “news”.
Right-wing PROPAGANDA and non-stop LIES.
“Our viewers BELIEVE it’s ‘news’”.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:19 pmYou don’t do shit but waste time and look silly but again if you wanna image stuff have at it
January 30th, 2010 at 1:20 pm“common sense thinking” is as stupid an expression as “real american”. Utterly meaningless and idiotically simplistic at best.

January 30th, 2010 at 1:27 pmFuk’d News ratings are directly tied to Obama’s performance as president.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:29 pmThat is truly Fuk’d!!!!

#520 Reggie-if God were to give cyberspace an enema…it’s debatable where he would place the nozzle…the DailyKos, here or MoveOn.org.
Actually, cyber or not, that would be FOX PROPAGANDA.
The OUTPOURING of such would be Bush, Cheney and the rights’ ULTIMATE “messiah”, TRAITOR Ronnie Reagan..

Obama TAUGHT constitutional law at a university that Simple Sarah couldnt even have qualified for….
Obama taught at University of Chicago and I would doubt that even 98% of the people here could get in. They have extremely high standards for students and professors. Obama can think on his feet which is why he does not need a teleprompter. He has a grasp of facts and how they relate to the subject. Bush couldn’t even think sitting down with the answers jumping out of a page and hitting him in the face.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:33 pmCheney has been kinda silent lately, wonder whats up with that?
January 30th, 2010 at 1:35 pmThat is not true!
She made a sweetheart deal with TranCanada Corp, a private company.
The Canadian Gov’t was not part of the process.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:38 pmI’ll agree that namejacking sucks, dr.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:41 pmIt didn’t sound like you and faking it sucks, namejacker.
Really…
Yes, “drhunt”, just like your Latin words say:
Fox is PROPAGANDA. Bush and Cheney and Reagan are TRAITORS.
And I, “drhunt”, am their azzlicker.
Ergo: YUMMMMMMM!”
January 30th, 2010 at 1:43 pmShe isn’t.

Plagiarism is what you did last week when you used others written words in your comments and tried to pass it off on as as your work.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:47 pmLecturing is entirely the correct response when dealing with petulant, insolent children.
If that doesn’t get the job done, there’s always a firm a$$-whooping (I prefer crying to non-stop whining ANY day.)
Poor little GOPussies, they peed their panties AND NOW complain when someone points it out.
Get bent losers.

Palin has forgotten more about domestic energy policies and issues then either Obama or Biden will ever know.
List some of the things. Solar? Wind? Wave? Dams? Nuclear? Biofuels? Anything she knows about? Because I’ve never heard her say anything about “domestic energy policies and issues” except “Alaska has oil,” which everybody already knew.
Then there’s geothermal. When the “gotcha media” asked her if she had ever met any leaders of other countries she said she hadn’t. Except she had met the Prime Minister of Iceland at a geothermal conference. So I guess that really does count as “forgetting about domestic energy policies and issues.” I’d prefer someone who remembers it, though.
This “energy expert” thing always fell like a dud. It was clearly a desperate attempt to spin her as knowing something about something. The fact that she was involved in issues regarding Alaska’s oil extraction is fine if 100% of the U.S. energy needs were going to be met by “drill here! drill now!,” which is not only massively destructive but impossible.

Newt is THE smartest politician alive.
What office does he hold again? And making things up about history isn’t the same thing as knowing history.

drhunt says:
Remember back in the debates when McCain let loose a 30 second discourse on the Caucases, while Obama stood there completely dumbfounded
Everybody else was dumbfounded too, as to why McCain started going off about the Caucases, which had nothing whatsoever to do with the questions.
.
drhunt says:
But let me ask you this…have any of those ethics charges ever been found truthful, (after she was acquitted in Troopergate, that is…the multitude of ethics violation allegations which constituted the reason why she left)?
She wasn’t acquitted. She wasn’t indicted in a court of law to begin with. The state senate was moving towards impeachment on the charges. So yes, I think the ethics violations did have something to do with why she resigned. Same reason Nixon did.
.
drhunt says:
The state Personnel Board-sanctioned investigation is the second into whether Palin violated state ethics law in firing her public safety commissioner, and it contradicts the earlier findings by a special counsel hired by the state Legislature.
That would be the report filed by the board that she personally hand-picked to investigate her, as opposed to the independent investigator (and a Republican) appointed by the legislature.
.
drhunt says:
Second, after several administrations previous to her, couldn’t get a deal done to build a gas pipeline to the lower 48 through Canada, Gov. Palin got it done by contracting and working with the Canadian government.
First of all, she didn’t get it done. She didn’t work with the Canadian government at all, much less the oil companies, and as a result the status of this pipeline project is in limbo, with billions of dollars now locked up and going nowhere, probably wasted.
Spending a bunch of the people’s money on trying to do something is not the same thing as accomplishing something. What are you, some kind of super-liberal?

#522 db-then perhaps you can tell this board why Palin was so wildly popular up there…TIA.
Apparently they just like their sitting governors and don’t like quitters. Her popularity is plummeting. Meanwhile her replacement, Sean Parnell is sitting on some high ratings himself now.

I think of it as “lecturing” in the college professor sense, in which case the Republians present probably should have been taking notes.
January 30th, 2010 at 4:40 pmMuch the same attitude when anyone with a strong opinion is proven wrong — the blame gets redirected to the one with the correct message.
January 30th, 2010 at 4:48 pmNever seen so many one sided comments in my life. Careful associating Fox News with conservatism, you may deceive yourself into false hopes, no pun intended. Either way the government in place is going to ruin us. Follow the dollar, they and their cronies make off like bandits while we watch a dog and pony show on Fox and CNN. When are we going to stop arguing each other and turn our discontent to our elected officials.
January 30th, 2010 at 6:01 pmFox stayed there alot longer than I did. As soon as the Bafoon Obama opens his mouth I change channels. I cannot listen to that idiot.
January 30th, 2010 at 8:43 pmWhy are we supposed to care about Palin and Gingrich again? I thought the GOPhated celebrities that get involved in pretending to be politicians. They are professional actors and their opinion has about as much bearing as the guy that plays Ronald McDonald on television advertisements.
January 30th, 2010 at 9:01 pmMaybe if you were not constantly telling lies and bleating about your victimhood, there would a be “real debate”.

They already did: Paulson, etc. Now we’re just trying to put the economy back together after the theft took place. PS: Bush did it.

Obama is about as intelligent and eloquent as it is possible for anyone to be. The only way you could think that he is “an idiot” is if you are congenitally incapable of accepting a black person as smart.
Also: Bafoon? Is that like a cross between a moran and a ni99ar? You teabaggers are so funny whenever you try to call other people stupid.
January 31st, 2010 at 3:41 pmFair enough ElBruce. I am glad you managed to lump me together with your other quote from “tass”. Furthermore, call me a teabagger and racist. You could not be more mistaken. I will gladly no longer participate in attempting to provide a slightly different perspective. You obviously missed my point. I fully respect President Obama and his intentions. Although it is getting really old, being called a racist, teabagger without validity. And ElBruce, trying to say stupid or buffoon is a substitute for a racist term is borderline libel. Just like it was far fetched to call Harry Reed a racist. All this low hanging fruit must make you feel so good about yourselves. Now I see why there are no other sides posted here. No need to read the posts either, just check how many positive or negative votes the post has. This will tell you all you need to know. Just like all our other forms of media, one sided. Funny how we are attempting to ridicule a news outlet for being so one sided, yet look at these posts. Someone tries to shed some light, or at least a different perspective and they get called a racist teabagger, and yet you are the one deducting unmentionable racist terms from the word stupid. What a joke, NewsCorp owns Fox, am I missing something?
