Mrs Greenspan sets the tone with the first sentence of her show....
She says today is Pres Obama's first news conference in 10 months--except that it isn't. He had his last one in February. The White House

And now Tweety is continuing it: he only talks to the press about basketball with Marv Albert blah blah blah.

Why bother waiting for the news? We already have the narrative: he's disengaged and won't talk to the press; therefore, we hate him.

3. Perhaps she lies for the sake of drama.

4. Tweety is in Faux mode today
Just about to tune out and find a channel without a crazy person reporting the news. I'm not sure if it exists these days.

5. Apparently Tweety's looking for another man crush moment, a la Bush and his 9/11 bullhorn moment
Tweety's all gut. I often wonder if he reads anything much at all, as he seems perpetually uninformed.

Now he's yelling about our needing a 'Harry Truman' moment. Take a valium, why don't you.

6. He also talked about Pres Obama's ostensible lack of passion
WTF?

8. Bush's bullhorn moment was utter lies and manipulation, however.
Someone needs to make sure Tweety is not having a high blood sugar moment...I say that as a fellow diabetic. Sometimes you can get manic when you are that way, and he seems to be that way a lot!

17. WRONG! I'm close to a type I diabetic. I've even given them injections ...
Edited on Thu May-27-10 12:32 PM by ShortnFiery
when they've had a hypoglycemic event. I've been with them through highs and lows but it doesn't make them act anything like "Tweety's" hypo manic states.

Tweety is NATURALLY as spaz. Don't go blaming his ineptness on Diabetes. That's just plain BUNK.

19. I am a type 1 diabetic! I get manic and weird when I have my
hyperglycemia. Now, my low blood sugar just makes me shake and sweat and I get very fatigued and feel like I will pass out. But some people react differently. Tweety does seem naturally manic to begin with.

11. All he cares about is the PR face of the administration
Which is probably why politics are so screwed up in this country. Thanks for (less than) nothing Tweety.

Actual action and problem solving just doesn't impress him, or Faux Newz.

7. Remember when they said he was too overexposed?!
:rofl:

Oh, the mainstream press. They just make me crack up...or puke. Have they reported accurately on a real story in years?

9.  They'll complain about anything which renders them
impotent. I like that Pres Obama isn't playing their little games for them..and they have http://www.whitehouse.gov to find out what's going on.

13. They're stunned that Obama doesn't consider "politics" as his primary job function.
The media doesn't like it when problems get solved. It hurts their bottom line.

14. Isn't she one of the people who tried to float the idea that
Obama was "overexposed" when he went straight to the people instead of allowing the press to filter and reinterpret what he had to say?

The whore media will try anything that they think will discredit Obama.

20. I keep hearing them..
repeating this shit when I know I have seen him many times in the past few months answering questions. Some of were complaining that he was on tv too much. When he answers questions it is a press conference these media assholes are so full of it..
