face the nation had noonan on, she's saying the POTUS must be "newly magnanimous and rethugs sober?'" Our POTUS tried to work with the rethugs in the first four years and what compromise did he find, none.. They only wanted to limit him to one term. My how short memories are. I cannot stand noonan or even gergen anymore, in fact no rethug has a chance.

(53,410 posts)It's not that they can't connect the dots from inception to completion about anything. It's that they choose to ignore the dots that are inconvenient. Their cavalier dishonesty is fucking outrageous!

Seriously!?!
I think President Obama knows perfectly well how he must now behave. He's already demonstrated it when he laid down his line in the sand on the so-called fiscal cliff.
Now, Ms. Noonan, why don't you just go back to tut-tut-tutting and being totally irrelevant, since that's what you seem to do best.

(22,671 posts)I tried to watch the talking heads, but the RWNJs just kept interrupting. Something brewing there, perhaps the deception they dished out to their base 24/7 and now they're trying to keep their jobs.
And I couldn't bring myself to watch Noonan. There'd be no value unless the video of her predicting a landslide were to be played first. That would have been golden, watching her eat crow or walk off in a huff.

(1,828 posts)Anyone notice how first Dickerson then Myers tried to bring up how voter suppression contributed to turnout, ie pissed people off? Both times Schieffer interrupted, completely changed the subject ("Hey how bout the Hispanics?" and threw questions back to Gergen and Noonan?
It was disgusting.

(2,049 posts)I argue with a rw at work. he says, with apparent conviction, that Obamas idea of bi partisanship is everything " my way!" And he seems to believe that. I said that Obama put our sacried cows on the table, but repubs won't put theirs up( tax cuts upon tax cuts for the rich. he doesn't get it. they are the ones that won't budge. how do we make people see it?
