Someone named Lynn is on tv now saying Obama is falling apart

[HopeOverFear]

Who is it? I'm not watching.

[lisa58]

1. Lynn Sweet??? on MSNBC?

...I wasn't listening - why did she say that?

[babylonsister]

2. Yes. She's the one who asked the prez about Gates last night. nt

[Occam Bandage]

7. She should be thrilled. She managed to induce his first media misstep. nt

[PretzelWarrior]

that wasn't a misstep. all the haters can rot in hell. they were stupid.

I'm glad he said it.

[Cha]

16. It sure as fuck wasn't a "misstep"..

the fucking vultures are out but once again they're going to be disappointed..poor dumbfucks:nopity:

[CTyankee]

3. Lynn Sweet, the reporter who asked Obama about the Gates incident.

Ugh, she doesn't likehis response last night. If she didn't want to know what he thought, she shouldn't have asked him about it...

[TeamJordan23]

4. Lynn Sweet from Chicago Tribune - she is the one who asked the Gates question

And has covered Obama from his early political career in Chicago. Personally, I think she despises Obama.

[MarjorieG]

17. During campaign, she always tried to parlay supposed insider status and cred to be negative.

Like she knew more than she did. So now, she KNOWS he's falling apart. Never liked her.

[Enrique]

20. Sun-Times

I think she's a pretty good reporter, but I haven't followed her Obama coverage very much. She has kind of a no-nonsense manner that might come off as despising him, I don't know. :shrug:

[glowing]

5. Lynn sweet.. I think sp I'm not sure on.. she asked about the police issue.

[PretzelWarrior]

6. WHAT the FUCK is she talking about? Is he slurring words? Acting petulant?

I think we have a good prototype for what a president looks like when he's falling apart. This woman needs to shut the fuck up.

[asphalt.jungle]

14. why do you think she asked the question?

so that with any response or non response from him she would have her talking points for the next day when she's making the rounds.

[CakeGrrl]

8. Gee Lynn, you weren't trying to set him up or anything, were you?

Bet that's the last question she gets to ask for a while.

[HopeOverFear]

15. Yep

[HopeOverFear]

9. Oh, it's the bitch who thinks she took Obama down

[Thrill]

10. Falling Apart? LMAO. Obama was at the top of his game today

This lady is nuts

[Aramchek]

11. tweety and lynne were having an offended white person powwow

[SemiCharmedQuark]

13. What were they saying?

[Aramchek]

23. oh, just that Obama has gone too far

Tweety playing like he's still a beat cop and getting all brotherly and upset.

Sweet acting like Obama is being too emotional and not the uncontroversial goody-two-shoes she would prefer.

[rvablue]

19. Tweety likes using all white panels when he discusses race on his show. n/t

[ErinBerin84]

22. he also

has a habbit of all male panels during discussions about abortion. Ugh.

[monmouth]

30. That's true. Wonder why Eugene Robinson wasn't on to give his

POV. Vacation I suppose...

[rvablue]

31. Doubtful. It's midweek and Gene was all over the place earlier in the week.

Tweety's self aware of his "old boy" issues and doesn't want them called out on his show.

[ErinBerin84]

12. What did she say?

Heh, isn't the press always complaining about how Obama is so boring and doesn't sound passionate about anything? That he doesn't "get angry" about anything? Then he gives an honest, restrained answer, and he's "falling apart"?!! Too much.

[Thrill]

18. Hey when you can't rattle someone. You have to pretend you did.

:)

[elehhhhna]

32. Perhaps he should call Cigna & United HC the "Axis of evil"

[MarjorieG]

21. In the middle of non-stop exasperating negotiations, he will out distance the doubters on this.

I suppose media would like the cool dude who never pushes for change, or challenges them to learn and talk policy.

Thought Obama was great last night.

[Aramchek]

27. Obama employs long game strategy.

Most of the idiots who oppose him don't even know there is a long game.

That's why they are continually flabbergasted when he succeeds. And are left bitter and disbelieving for months.

[Jennicut]

24. This is laughable. All white people sitting around talking about how a black President

should feel. Is anyone as disgusted as I am?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

25. I'm getting the impression she wanted him to stand as Official Black Man and absolve the country of

its racist sins and make everyone feel happy and fine that this country elected a black man president.

And when that didn't happen, everyone went apeshit.

[Jennicut]

29. True, she wanted him to take the bait and absolve guilt

Instead, he made them all fall over themselves trying to understand what he meant.

[ecstatic]

37. precisely. nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

26. I think they just realized Obama was black

It's like when the white guys who play golf with the black guy at the public course see him out at the bar with his black friends. They're like, holy shit, Reggie really is a black dude, and not just our black golf buddy. Holy shit!

[Jennicut]

28. LOL. OMG, he really IS a black man. We really DID elect him for Prez.

That seriously made my night.
:rofl:

[Uzybone]

34. LOL

excellent, Ive been there and you are right.

[HopeOverFear]

35. LOL!!

[Number23]

39. Best post EVER.

:thumbsup: :)

[and-justice-for-all]

33. Obama is not falling apart...

he has it more together than you might think.

[firedupdem]

36. Fuck her and the rest...I'm sick of these assholes. n/t

[ecstatic]

38. so am I. It's really getting ridiculous! nt
