Ugh!! CNN's Candy Crowley and Steve Hayes are saying crisis in Georgia

favors McBush politically. Candy commented that Obama is in Hawaii vacationing and showing up in a sweatsuit and that doesn't look presidential. Hayes is gushing about how McBush was ahead of the curve in slamming Valdimir Putin months ago.

Obama is more in touch with what's going on in the world (even while wearing a sweatsuit) than McBush is EVER!

:wtf:

puts Obama at a disadvantage--because that's the pre-set narrative. They said the same thing when Bhutto was killed.

in McCorpse's reckless tough-guy bullshit against Russia.

They just love their corporate masters, don't they?

Now they bitch that he's not acting as president.

What is it?

it is whatever is good for McCain.

Candy needs to become part of McCain's campaign......I mean, they should pay her for her work on CNN. Objective her ass! :eyes:

:hi:

http://obsidianwings.blogs.com/obsidian_wings/2008/08/what-did-we-tel.htmlIf this is true, whoever is responsible should be banned from foreign policy for the rest of his or her natural life:

"Mr Saakashvilli may also have banked on support from his closest ally, US president George W Bush, whose administration is said to have given tacit support for a Georgian assault on South Ossetia in the believe that the territory could be recaptured within 48 hours."

And I suspect that it, or something like it, is likely to be true. Ask yourself this: would the Georgians not have given us any hint that they planned an assault on South Ossetia? I think that's really unlikely. In any case, if they didn't tip us off before getting into a shooting war with Russian troops (who were in South Ossetia as peacekeepers), that should, in my book, put paid to the idea of them as good potential allies.

If they did, what did we say in response? There are things we could have said that would have deterred any but the most completely suicidal Georgian leader. Saakashvili has been unbelievably reckless, but it would have been orders of magnitude more stupid to do what he did had we said, clearly and emphatically, not just that if he did this, he was on his own, but also that taking this step would seriously damage his relationship with us, and would put paid to his hopes of joining NATO in the foreseeable future.

Which is to say: we had a lot of leverage. It is hard to believe either that we didn't know this was going to happen, or that we used our leverage to prevent it. And that is inexcusable. Thousands of people are dead, the freedom of action of Russia's neighbors has been drastically reduced, and our own credibility, such as it was, has been badly damaged.

who are the most corporate friendly out of both political parties.

Fuckwit.

Just some of the incompetence the MSM has can be found in the little bits of sophistry they engage in-- that's a really huge (and bad) side effect of being under Bush rule for 8 years. Before Bush used the 9/11 issue to beat them down, they at least were in the habit of questions something. Now, they lack even the basic interrogative techniques.

But when he is, he will have a Sec of state that will do more in 1week then Rice-A-Roni has done in 4years....:grr: :hi:

So, how does McCain make the case that he is the guy for this situation? Because he'll continue the same policies that led to it? Bush's tough talking didn't stop it, so McCain's will? Or otherwise he has to admit that the admin messed up.

There's no doubt that Candy Crowley is just taking orders from the RNC.

Months ago he was calling Putin the President of Germany

McGaffe and Bush are both speaking out against the invasion make him look detached.


Sorry, but we should all listen to what they are saying. Obama needs to react to this and react quickly.

You know the RW will make TV commercials showing our nominee on vacation while their candidate tries to deal with a crisis.

on vacation. WTF is he supposed to do, come back to the mainland and make...ANOTHER statement? Because making statements is all he can do. And that's all McShitbag is doing, too.

vacations when a emergency presents itself.


He needs to come back and have meetings with his foreign policy advisers. Or fly back to Europe and speak in front of another huge crowd, calling for peace.


I'm sorry but you can't just bury your head in the sand here, not even if that sand is in Hawaii. He looks like he doesn't know what to do or doesn't care about the invasion of a sovereign democratic nation.

If he gets too involved, he's presumptuous and arrogant. If he stays away, he should be more involved. What the hell do people think this man should do????

looking very Presidential. He should at least have showed up with a tie on today's shirt with blazer and with something patriotic in the background, like a bunch of flags or maybe some statue commemorating WWII--he's close to Pearl Harbor, after all.

Independents who remember the cold war--Khrushchev pounding his shoe on the table, duck and cover, the Cuban Missle Crisis--are going to want some reassureance, for sure.

It's the only other national memorial cemetery next to Arlington...

The visuals would be STUNNING...

trip. Standing in front of flags isn't going to make a damn bit of difference. Fly back to Europe? Call for peace? I'm talking to a naive child here.

hmmmmm - so where was bushie during this crisis? Patting a female v-ball player's backside in China! inserting himself into team huddles and generally looking less than presidential, all the while in China! He didn't exactly hurry home to address the situation with all his bluster.

to all forms of communication system.

What is it he is not able to handle?

He is not in charge of this situation, Bush is and Condi is -- let them address this mess on their watch.

at the Olympics?

same shit, same asshole...

But Obama is less presidential?

I had a press pass and was on the floor of the venue in the closed-off press section and was standing next to Candy Crowley in between her CNN report. I smelled what I thought was a dead rat.

It was her big, fat smelly ass. I kid you not. She's about six feet tall and is nearly 350+ pounds. Let's just say she was very happy at the press poll food table.

:puke:

She couldn't hold it until she got back to her hotel?

not a brain in that fat head..

Candy, is that her birth name or a nickname.. She did have one question for me, more declarative than a question, seemed like a question from the pleading in her eyes, she said,

"More Ham?"

"I'm sorry Candy, I don't usually carry HAM with me.."

Then she got the better of me with that razor sharp mind..

"Gravy?"

:)

She really IS Dumb.

Had a best pal about her size, dead now, his weight killed him, stopped breathing in his sleep - only made it to 30 odd years..

That smell you caught was what we called "a Rooster Tail" - that's how the morbidly obese shit, up the Back of the crack, some can't reach that far to wipe. Sorry it sounds so gross, but it's a grim reality.

Being overweight is not what makes her so dumb, look at Wolfie.. He ain't the sharpest tool in the shed either.. Good enough for Govt generated Psyops and that's about it. :)

Or both?

Demolishes that narrative in one fell swoop.

"Candidates shouldn't issue statements regarding current events" the would say.

think that??

What war did he win?

26 years in the Senate as a playboy....he has not prepared himself for the job...booze, blondes, and bars are his forte...not policy.

LOL...he actually said that....whad a jerk for him to think we gonna suck for that line.

some "experience"...

being a POW doe NOT equate with "experience" - unless you're running for cellblock president of San Quentin...

is HERO....OK he was a POW....OK Hero...


But President??? Experience???

after listening to him over this past year....I don't think so...

mental light weight

War my friends, war.

I can't wait to hear what song he's going to sing and joke he's going to tell.

And, did you notice his index finger? I found it a bit unsettling, it appeared to me like he was subconsciously pressing that button, over and over again.

It was comforting to see Obama calmly responding to this crisis, in a level-headed manner, while semi-vacationing in Hawaii.

See CNN, we can all play that game.

Why the f$%k did this have to happen now? This kind of thing gives McCain the opening he needs on foreign policy. Obama in Hawaii will be used against him, just like the European trip.

When Condi and Bush cannot?

Gimme a fucking break....but then...its all about the photo op....

The dumbest guy in the class against the top guy in a similar class....and we going w dumb?

as well his eating Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner,

walking, blinking his eyes, and sitting down...

snf did you hear the latest - he actually SLEEPS AT NIGHT!!!

"Securing America's Future."

:hi:

That woman needs to be shit canned by CNN. She's AWFUL. :puke:

Was Russia this powerful when Dems controlled the country? This is the perfect chance for Obama to undermine the Republican claim to national security. Bush has great for the national security and prosperity of China and Russia. If he loses Georgia to Pooty-poot, I don't see how it can be read as anything but another Bush/Republican disaster.

All McBloodNGuts had for Georgia was a plagiarised speech.

Come on, people - WAKE THE HELL UP - The doddering McAlzheimer mispeonounced "Saakashvili" THREE FRIGGIN' TIMES!!! What does THIS ONE FACT tell you about how much McDecrepit knows about the Georgian situation?

All I have been hearing from CNN regarding McThuselah is that "He knows the players," and he is a "Foreign Policy Expert."

Give me a friggin' break. He's a foreign policy expert like Bush is a foreign plicy expert.

CLUELESS
CLUELESS
CLUELESS

A good ad for Obama would be to show the following:

-One of these media-morons touting McInsane's vaunted "experience and judgement."
-A short video of McTooDamnOld turing Baghdad Market in 2007, saying that it was "perfectly safe."
-A shock frame shawing bodies, stating that the day after he left, there were 21 people kidnapped and murdered in the same market.
-One of these media-morons saying that McIdiot is a "foreign policy expert."
-McAncientMariner taking his cues from Lieberman re: Al-Qaeda & Iran.
-McMemory confusing “Somalia” for “Sudan."
-McBrainDead confusing the Green Bay Packers with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
-McAin't telling the press about Czechoslovakia.
-A frame stating that Czechoslovakia hasn't existed as a country for 15 YEARS.
-One of these media-morons saying that McTooFuckingOld "knows the players."
-Repetition of McInsane attempting to pronounce "Saakashvili."
-Repetition of Shrub attempting to pronounce "Ehud Olmert" and "Mahmoud Abbas."
-Brief frame of McLoser and Bush hugging at the convention.
-Obama's statement on how "proud of their ignorance" the McCain campaign is.
-Repetition of frame of McLoser and Bush hugging at the convention.
-A frame with Obama's logo and "Barack Obama: Change We Can Believe In."
-SLOW FADE with Obama voice over for ad approval.

We really need to bust some heads, figuratively speaking...
