MSNBC Trashes Obama's Address: Compared To Carter, 'I Don't Sense Executive Command'...
Ubiquitous
Oval Office Address on the oil spill. Here are the highlights of what the trio
said:
Olbermann: "It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last
57 days."
Matthews compared Obama to Carter.
Olbermann: "Nothing specific at all was said."
Matthews: "No direction."
Howard Fineman: "He wasn't specific enough."
Olbermann: "I don't think he aimed low, I don't think he aimed at all. It's
startling."
Howard Fineman: Obama should be acting like a "commander-in-chief."
Matthews: Ludicrous that he keeps saying [Secretary of Energy] Chu has a Nobel
prize. "I'll barf if he does it one more time."
Matthews: "A lot of meritocracy, a lot of blue ribbon talk."
Matthews: "I don't sense executive command."

Actually, while *most* of Fox's editorialists lean right, their
journalism is objective.
The mainstream media, by contrast is left, both their journalism and
their editorial opinions. Been that way since at least the 60s.

It's not that odd to me as I see it as MSNBC leaning towards
supporting Obama but holding Obama responsible for how he is handling
this crisis. That just says that in this one case they really don't
like what he is doing, but generally agree with him. That's no
different from many voters agreeing with a candidate on many issues
and choosing to vote for that candidate while disagreeing (perhaps
strongly) on an issue or two.

The right tolerates little (if any) dissension or criticism...unless it's of
the other side of course.

The irony is that these liberals were Obama's most fanatical supporters
during the campaign, though he was even less specific then, running on a
platform of Hope & Change, while carefully avoiding taking a position on
anything of substance.
Now they act surprised that the man who had no ideas as Senator has no
ideas as President. They are shocked to learn that he is nothing but
hype. The sad thing is that many Americans recognized Obama for the
slick-talking con artist that he was, and were rudely dismissed as
"racists" by the same white liberals that are now turning on him like
pit bulls.

MSNBC was biased in favor of Obama, or rather the talking heads who
regularly appear on MSNBC were biased in favor of what they thought
Obama was.
MSNBC, like Fox, has a small number of "commentators" who they rotate
through the daily schedule.
On MSNBC, most of them projected their own beliefs on the tabula rasa
that was Barack Obama, and now that he's turned out to be not a blank
slate but an empty vessel who will not be the authoritarian thug they
thought they were hyping, they're disappointed.
Maybe they think he's pliable enough that if they berate him soundly,
he'll still turn out to be useful to their cause.
I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart:
but the saying is true—The empty vessel makes the greatest
sound.

It sounds like MSNBC personalities are individuals capable of
independent thought who consider each issue on its own merits and
don't feel the need to form a protective fort and step in unison with
a political party. And they give their viewers the credit of being
capable of the same thing.
I wonder why a viewer of some *other* news network would consider this
newsworthy enough to be a thread...

A careful analysis reveals nothing odd about a Democrat-controlled MSNBC
turning on a Democrat president. The political science of Kremlinology
relies on understanding Party dynamics when trying to interpret Party
propaganda.
The Democrat Party may be corrupt and socialist, but it is not stupid
enough to follow the example of the Republicans by allowing an
ineffective and hated President to discredit their Party, and drag it
down with him.
The Democrat Political Machine had "fingered" Hillary Clinton as the
Party's presidential nominee, but Barack Obama wound up being a
renegade, and his cultlike popularity disrupted the normal backroom
nomination process.
Since the Democrats were desperate to win the presidency, they played
along and allowed Obama to win the nomination, Hoping that he would
effectively carry out their agenda.
Obama then embarrassed the Party by refusing to select Hillary as his
Co-President, railroading her into a dead-end job (no Secretary of State
has gone on to become President for over 150 years), effectively
neutralizing his only serious rival.
Still, the Party gave him over a year to prove himself, but as things
kept getting worse and as Obama's incompetence began to reflect badly on
the Party, the Party decided that he is going to be a one-term
president, that they are going to nip him in the bud before he tries to
pull a Hugo Chï¿œvez.
That the Democrat Party and its various propaganda organs have begun
turning on Obama suggests he is in very serious trouble. Most likely
they are trying to set the stage for a challenge by Hillary in 2012.
Hillary will lay low for the rest of this year, then early next year she
will become increasingly visible and vocal and critical of Obama, with a
recurring theme along the lines of "Don't you regret not having voted
for ME instead?"

I'm not a fan of either OB or Jimmy Who.
But I still remember the "Mayonese" speech.
OB still isn't as bad a POTUS as was Jimmy Who.
But he has only been in office about 1.5 years. He still has another 2.5
to go.

You're so silly. Matthews, Olbermann, Mandow & O'Donnell are more
left than any Fox personality on the right. Besides who wastes their
time watching any of that bullshit from any of them. They spin and
dance so much I get dizzy watching them so I don't anymore. The
people running this country are greedy mother fuckers in both parties
save for a few. But the worst will always be the liberal. The jews
started communism which transformed itself into socialism. Karl Marx,
Engels, Trotsky and even Lennin were all jews or had jewish blood in
them. And now look, they control everything and there is not a bloody
thing any of us can do about but sit back and enjoy the ride until
Jesus Christ makes his coming appearance and throw these bastards into
the pits of hell where they belong. And don't confuse Christ as a jew
like today. He wasn't and isn't. Look at hollyweird and nearly every
top actor or actress comes from jewish parentage. You'd be surprised
at the blond hair blue eyed jews that permeate hollyweird.
