@msnbc_politics Why aren't you covering the VP who WON in '08 right now as he speaks in IN? You cover Sarah Palin, the LOSER, 24/7!

57. Because she's more important than someone who has been out of work for 2 years.
I feel bad for her, but no more so than anyone else who has lost their job and not been able to find another.

Edited on Tue Nov-23-10 07:55 PM by jenmito
but unfortunately for MSNBC, she must've vigorously defended Obama, saying she's very pleased with him, since I saw her on Hardball tonight, too, saying only positive things about him.

41. President Obama is a President of the people...
If you look at him, listen to him remembering the personal stories of these people, he really cares. Not about the poll numbers, not about the popular opinion of the televisions and newspapers, he cares about Americans, big and small, he cares love for them all.


He's our man, and these people in Kokomo know that no matter what the pundits say.

and said hi to them, much to the chagrin of the Secret Service, but the kids were thrilled!
