Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Objects To Family Photos Behind Obama’s Desk
You can't make this shit up, folks.....

Fox News continued its shallow attacks on President Obama’s speech on Iraq as Fox News’ Tucker Carlson complained that Obama was exploiting his family by putting their photos behind his desk.

During the “Great American Panel” segment on Hannity last night (8/31/10), Hannity not surprisingly said he was “not impressed” with Obama’s speech earlier that night.

Carlson said, “Everything about it was small. The run up was small. His spokesman attacked President Bush for the ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner, as if that hasn’t been hashed over… The presentation itself, I objected to the pictures of his kids in the background. I felt it was taking advantage of them and their images.”

Can there be any doubt that if Obama had no photos of his family behind his desk that he’d be attacked for being heartless?

What an asshole. This proves how petty he really is, and seems
to me, proves he had nothing much to criticize to begin with.

:hi:

9. I won't go that far
The fact is these righties do nothing but hate on and object to anything and everything that's done by a Democratic president. They did it with Clinton and they're doing it double with Obama.

4. Tucker Carlson is a pathetic weenie.
He's the kid that got stuffed in his locker and had wedgies inflicted on him every day in high school. He's the dorky, clueless kid who wore a suit and carried a briefcase to class in college because he thought it made him look grown up and important. And he just couldn't figure out why he could never get laid. So now he's a third-string pundit and he's still looking for ways to get back at the cool kids by making snarky comments about them. But he's just a gnat, a flyspeck, a nothing. I only wish someone would make him eat his dweeby little bow tie -- and then give him another wedgie.

15. They'd say he can't swim and he hangs out with non-Christians.
As far back as I can remember (Truman administration), presidents have had photos of their families somewhere in the Oval Office, usually in predominate places, like on or behind the desk.

24. At least Beeker gets blown up from time to time
Which is good for a cheap laugh; Carlson isn't even good for that.

38. Gosh. St. Ronnie really had that whole "light of GOD" thing going on in his photo
didn't he. I didn't remember his photo ops being so perfectly executed. I guess he was the original Hollywood huckster after all.

Gore Vidal asked him to his face and all the little fellow could do was shrink even more.

21. Oh, the pettiness of small minds.
Wonder how long it took him to come up with that criticism. Some of these right wing shills are really scraping the bottom of the barrel in looking for reasons to smear Obama.


Tucker is a twit; always was and always will be.

22. Tucker is a moran...that bowtie has long cut off any circulation to his neck...
although an alternate theory is that since birth he hasn't gotten any there.

25. This isn't even picking at nits.
Every president has family shots behind him when he addresses from the Oval.

For Chrissakes...these people do a bang-up job of marginalizing themselves and making themselves look petty and stupid all on their own.

28. Given the history of family pics in the Oval Office...
...as shown right here on this thread, Tucker Carlson is obviously and hilariously wrong. The best thing that can happen now is for Keith Olbermann to get hold of this and ridicule the little twerp right into the ground. Of course Rachel, Ed and others may wish to join in the fun.

At least that is what I would like to see.

29. The 2010 Olympic Hackery Continues...
I think these shitstains try to accumulate points with the most outrageous and divisive fauxrage. It's the squeaky wheel syndrome...all these wingnuts need to top the other wingnuts with something so off the wall its picked up by hate radio and the corporate media. It's the modern day equivelent of the dirty old man who waits til you get good and close and exposes...no matter, you can't help but look.

You know they are getting desperate and petty if they are attacking Obama for this drivel. Good lord, Tucker Carlson needs to get a life.

37. Fucker Carlson forgets that every President that's ever appeared on TV
has had family photos behind the desk.

Yet another case of wingnuts holding Obama to a different standard.
