I have 'em on TIVO but I don't wanna.

I'm afraid it will all be how elitist Obama is.

Can I watch or should I clear out my memory in case there's a good movie on later?

2. You can watch Tweety's show
it was taped earlier in the week before Bittergate broke.

13. Thanks for the sound advice....I just watched it
before deleting all the other shows.

Tweety's Sunday show is so different from his week day show.

So much better.

3. I flipped it on long enough to hear 10 secs of Will, then turned it off. Disgusting.

10. Yes, George Will calling Obama (or anyone) an elitist is beyond ironic

4. Obama's people gotta get out there,
wherever (the neighborhoods, netroots, unions, churches, anywhere . . . ) and counter what MSM is doing without proving to folks, by being bitchy, that the MSM is right.

6. nah, he needs another "race" speech
the media backed right down after that.

He needs to shove it in the faces of the MSM that being distracted by this kind of BS is harmful to our country and the very people they are supposedly sticking up for.

Watch for it next week.

And take heart in this CNN bit:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G8dRMofHNs

And thanks for all the replies...think I'll just watch this CNN clip over and over instead of watching the morning shows!

7. I see this as a 50:50 proposition = 50% Obama speak: 50% us manifesting the message. nt

9. Obama's people are out there...
beyond the 'spin-zone'. I think that is what the problem is...the things you won't see on your television screen.

8. MTP - not one SINGLE word about the torture-approval council meetings by Condi, Powell, Ashcroft etc
Not one single word.

The biggest news of the administration, and not one single word.

and they claim to be "respectable" journalism...

Unbelievable. Disgraceful. Irresponsible. All other bad words I can't think of right now...

12. the problem facing obama is, if obama believed any of what he
is saying then why did he ever allow the racial devisiness his campaign launched against Hillary and Bill Clinton. Why didn't he fire Jesse Jackosn Jr. when he used the racial card against Hillary. Now with his "bitter" comments obama now has in effect labeled any small town citizen bigots and racists. The fact is that Obama can give a good speech, but that is all he has done. Obama doesn't live up to his words. They are empty bullshit.

14. Some of us see it differently.
When Bill made the comments after SC I had not decided which candidate to support.

I like Hillary, had always loved Bill, the only candidates I had given money to at that point were Edwards and Hillary.

But those comments, BY BILL, drove me up the wall.

Obama didn't play the race card, Bill did.

We obviously see it differently. I tend to think you see it the way you do because you are a Hillary supporter.

But the same can't be said of me. I was neutral, in fact, had given money to Hillary and not Obama at that point.

It seems to me like Hillary supporters are not living in the real world.

What Bill said was racist. That is different from calling Bill a racist.

You see, I don't think either Clinton believes half of what they say (I don't know WHAT they stand for anymore, they sure don't appear honest to me right now).
