CNN this AM ..... Observations on Steph Miller, Obama, and "Wrinklegate"
Stephanie Miller kicked ass .... (very rough quotes)

When the host asked her, "If Obama had to do it over again would he support the surge."

Miller, "That is a hypothetical question."

Host, "No it is not."

Miller, "Yes it is."

Host is now pissed ..... Miller laughs and says something about the whole war is a mistake anyway
and Obama has been proven right. :rofl:

right wing talker's video feed is all chopped up and he sounds like Max Headroom

***********************

Obama getting off the plane in Jordan Damn he looks so Presidential and in charge and stuff

******************
"Wrinklegate" Obama's shirt was wrinkled ...... :think: it is a plot .... a plot I tell you.

11. Wrinklegate is McCain's face
Do we really want to have to look at it for the next 4 years?

4. It was some typical "gotcha" questioning
The host just couldn't handle the fact that Steph was correct and called him on it. I saw the same type of questioning to a guy formerly from the Edwards campaign (can't remember his name) earlier. Makes me think that the talking heads are cut from the same cloth. Which begs the question, what ever happened to intellectual curiousity from our journalists? Oh yeah, they are worried about Obama's shirt being wrinkled.

7. I thought wrinklegate
referred to McCain's age (wrinkles)and all his gaffes in the last 3 weeks that may be due to his age.

5. Lol, poor host.
That must have fit the textbook definition of what a hypothetical question is.

6. It was funny
Steph .... that was a hypothetical question

host .... no it was not

Steph ...... yes it was

host .... tries to seem stern

Steph .... laughs @ him

It looks like the order is out ..... get Obama to admit that the surge worked and it worked because it worked

Not word one that we are paying the sunnis not to shoot us and that Iran has put pressure on the Shi to stop
stop the violence. Facts are funny
