Crybabies

[Bob]

This isn't so much news as something humorous. Chris Wallace was on O'Reily last night discussing Obama's round on the Sunday news shows. Apparently he prety much hit every one, including a spanish news channel, but skipped Fox. Wallace had this to say about the current White House -

I post this because, quite honestly, looking back over the last nine months, I'm really not that impressed with Obama and his administration. Even though I didn't vote for the guy, I was kind of pumped about the ideas of bipartisanship and "bridging the divide" and transparency. However I don't feel as if I've seen any of this from the current administration - it feels kinda same-old same-old to me. I also feel as though both the far left and far right are angrier now than they ever were. I caught Mayer last night and was surprised at how angry and mean and denigrating his comments were regarding some of his fellow Americans, specifically the older generations who are leery of Obama's policies. It feels as if the current political divide has widened significantly over the last year, and it's not a one sided division. If this keeps up where will we be in three years?

So what say you SoWal, how is Obama's administration doing, are you seeing what you were hopeful for or are you disappointed about the progress we've made? If not, who do you blame?

"what say you" is an o'reillyism. is your tv permanently on fox? the divide on the left and right is what makes the 24 hour news industry work.

You really wonder who the crybaby is when Fox runs a newspaper ad falsely claiming non coverage on the part of other networks. If you don't cover a story the way they cover it you're biased.

How about this little gem, watch the duck and cover.

Obama appeared on O'Reilly. That to me is the gold standard of whether or not you are a fraidy cat...

A year ago, he's been on every other network since, except Fox. I don't think they are afraid of Fox, I think they are, as Wallace said, acting like children. I guess I personally expected more form this administration.

The move against a sitting Democratic governor represents an extraordinary intervention into a state political race by the president, and is a delicate one, given that Mr. Paterson is one of only two African-American governors in the nation.

But Mr. Obama’s political team and other party leaders have grown increasingly worried that the governor’s unpopularity could drag down Democratic members of Congress in New York, as well as the Democratic-controlled Legislature, in next fall’s election.

Mr. Paterson and his aides did not respond to repeated requests for comment Saturday. Mr. Paterson arrived on Long Island Saturday evening to attend a dinner, but walked hurriedly past a reporter who tried to ask him about the White House request.

An aide to Mr. Meeks said the congressman could not be reached Saturday.

“The message the White House wanted to send — that it wants Paterson to step aside — was delivered,” said the Democratic operative,, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions were intended to be confidential. “He is resistant.”

The general election is more than a year away, but Mr. Obama and his political team are moving now in part because of signals from Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, that he may run for governor, according to Democrats who have spoken with White House officials. Many Democratic leaders believe that Mr. Giuliani’s presence at the top of the Republican ticket could spark enthusiasm among his party’s voters, who might otherwise have little desire to go to the polls.

Politricks as usual?

Wasn't that visit when he was running for office...when he was out there trying to get votes? He was in his "running" mode.

What about now when there are questions about his czars, his health plan, his lack of support for the CIA, his costly plan to change how our government works, his future taxes on wealthy and middle class his ACORN ties, etc? A gold standard is a standard that says, I will defend my programs and talk about them and take questions from all...not just a few hand picked newscasters. Perhaps if Fox agreed to submit questions before hand, and allowed him to read his prepared answers and do any do-overs ...then maybe just maybe he would agree to be on their cable. It is very obvious that he is is afraid of them, because they ask the hard questions, the questions that many Americans want the answers to...... so in my book he is still in the fraidy cat status. His lack of appearing on Fox...gives me all the answers I need.

His loss, he just ends up alienating all their viewers, and they have a lot of them. I wouldn't consider picking fights with the press to be too smart, but maybe Obama thinks he can and not suffer any consequences.
