8. This is the FOURTH time I've seen this bullshit misinformation
John Harwood (a member of the MSM) made that characterization. It was not a quote and he did not cite a source for that term since he knows he pulled it out of his ass.

And people swallow this crap down like it's the last bottle of water in a desert.

9. this is the 4th or 5th time i've seen this same post...
i'm not sure what the poster including the original one on americablog hope to generate but, so far, i think it's just annoying people...and i guess the posters can then whine about people being annoyed cause they're just asking for their rights...maybe that's the goal!

10. nikki... listen real close to the set up..
they set up the question to be answered in a certain way. that way was to discredit the president and cause the very dissension that it`s causing on this board.

of course i may be wrong but right now i`m giving the whitehouse the benefit of doubt.

12. here's what actually was said:
LESTER HOLT: John what we saw in that protest today, was it simply frustration or does it represent a serious problem the President is having with an important part of his base?

JOHN HARWOOD: As a practical matter Lester I don’t think it’s a serious problem. we’ve seen and certainly Bill Clinton learned that they Democratic President can get punished by the mainstream of the electorate for being too aggressive on social issues so for now I think the administration feels that if they take care of the big issues — health care, energy, the economy — he’s going to be just fine with this group.

HOLT: But in general when yo look at the left as a whole, have there been conversations about some things they thought would have been done but haven’t?

HARWOOD: Sure but If you look at the polling, Barack Obama is doing well with 90% or more of Democrats so the White House views this opposition as really part of the “internet left fringe” Lester. And for a sign of how seriously the White House does or doesn’t take this opposition, one adviser told me today those bloggers need to take off their pajamas, get dressed and realize that governing a closely divided country is complicated and difficult.
