I've misjudged him, I think.

Good to see ... but hey Luke ... weren't you part of the same media who gave all that Birther nonsense a pass?

Now that it is starting to be the thing to do, there he is...

Luke Russert? @LukeRussert
6. Lastly, think of discipline Obama has had for 8 years to not just say publicly, "You race baiting motherf...." Looking forward to memoir

That.

Good on you, Luke!

The aplomb with which the Pres. has handled all these slings and arrows deserves some sort of award. I agree too that his memoir is going on to be a must-read.

Barack Obama not only has class, he has control of his emotions.

Still, I'd live to see PBO put Cheeto Benito into a headlock and pummel his ass.

Couldn't you just see it??

Perfectly nice guy, but very much of an insider, an establishmentarian.

I have the upmost respect for his response to the woman that tried to claim 'birther' at one of his rallies and he stood up for Obama.

And striving to win or succeed based on truths, not lies.

Seriously, I haven't seen him lately. But you know there are plenty of people who feel this way. Good for him for taking it public.

said he wanted to do something different with his life.

Good for him.

Funny what comes out of him now he's not on the man's payroll.

So typical of all the talking heads. And they do it without conscience

His favorite word is "BUT" -- like there's two sides to every story.

In some cases, there's the credible candidate, and there's the insane orange clown. No "buts" about it.

Russert is a legacy hire.


"Some people say....top people...you know, I've heard things...." that he was hired because someone killed his old man to shut him up. This is a case of keeping friends close, and enemies closer!

for the irony-impaired.


Russert is jumping on the "Ooooh, birtherism...BAAAAD!" bandwagon NOW--but where was he last year, or the year before, or the year before? It's easy to make 'bold' statements when everyone else is making them as well.

As he likes to say!!

All part of Phil Griffin's cowardly "depolitization" push - while Faux News has gone on alt-right steroids.

He was awful on screen. I usually fast-forwarded through his segments or changed the channel. One of the most annoying people on TV.

That would be nice.

That acorn looks like it fell a long way from the tree. Not to speak ill of the departed but his dad let Cheney and his ilk get away with murder, figuratively and literally.

And wants a career after the election is over. I think there is going to be some real payback for all the ass kissing most "reporters" - and "on air talent" have been doing to prop up the Trump campaign.

for a dyed-in-the-wool both-siderist. Nice of him to say it now, instead of when he had a microphone.

... If he said it on air, then I'd pay attention ...
