Alex Wagner, The Republican Talking Point Has Been Shoved Down Our Throats Today - Don't Pile On

[garagedoor]

It's lazy, this "talking point of the day" crap. The journalists don't even try to change the words. Today it's "Obama didn't meet with the world leaders." Yes, that is his what? PREROGATIVE. He is our President and will talk with them when he feels the time is right. Heavens, I don't blame him not meeting with Bibi. That guy will guarantee negative news with his Romney propping self.

So is this a slow news day? Why is EVERYONE beating the repub talking points like a worn out drum?

Forgive me, I am fighting the flu and thought a little political news would make me feel better. Apparently not.

1. That's my complaint about MSBNBC in particular -- you see The Story in each of their shows.

Here's Tweety's take on...and here's the Rev's take on...now here's Ed's take on...

I remember when you could tune in to CNN to see news of what was happening in the word, 24 hours a day.

Hope you feel better soon!

2. Wow, I never before heard of treating the flu

with exposure to political news.

Well, now that you've conducted the research, you will no doubt have saved many of us from having to replicate the experiment ourselves.

3. Ok so like .000000001% of 'independents" might change their mind over this.

If this is the worst they can bring up, the election is over now.

4. Treating the Flu

with Political News is only because I'm a Polynews Junkie so I'm just feeding the habit. Never thought I would miss my office so much! This "talking point" crap is mind numbing!

I thought the campaign was really dying but these "Cap'n Save a Tools" shilling for Romney refuse to let this die out like the thought of Sarah Palin. They must try to lie, lie, and lie some more to prop his campaign up.

UGH. Time to turn this crapola off!

5. Did she see the President's U.N. speech?

or was that too much for her to digest?

6. It occurred to me that Netanayhu wants to snipe at Pres Obama..

& he wants that photo of himself with Pres Obama at the end of a meeting.

Pres Obama was quite courageous to just say no...in my opinion.

7. Meeting with them just for the sake of meeting with them?

Is there some particular issue involving Obama's foreign diplomacy with which journalists have a problem?

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. If he met with them, the cables would all be saying "Beholden to foreign interests..."

"Not American enough."

I trust Obama to know what to do on foreign policy, and so do the American people. The anti-Obama's in the news had pre-written scripts to critique him either way, since they keep trying to convince us that Obama's not good on foreign policy, when it's obvious that he's very good.

9. Yep I heard that on every channel this morning that Obama doesn't like to deal with

other world leaders or Congress. Heard on Morning Joe, CNN, Faux and CNBC. Oh Canter was on CNBC with that mantra and also he
says Romney has it tough because he has to fight off the Democrats and the media bias. You can tell they are losing when they start blaming
the liberal media.
