Howard Fineman Bashing Obama On CountDown

[dsamuels0078]

Fineman:

he's inexperienced as a senator, inexperienced as a politician,

he's Weak

he relies on washington insiders as he's brain

[Cali_Democrat]

1. So weez SCREWN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[ErinBerin84]

2. eh

the Obama administration does deserve criticism on how they've handled this, but Howard's whole take on things is always so beltway-y (even if he's said some true things tonight) and I've found that his opinions are always just where the wind blows. I've seen him critique Obama from the left or right ,depending on which show he's on. Rachel Maddow he is not.

3. Hyperbole much?

I watched Fineman and think your interpretation is a huge stretch. Fineman pointed out a few things about Obama's experience but it was hardly asserted with the venom you want us to believe.

6. hey

as obama would say rewind the tape hillary!

[eleny]

9. Hey stupid - Hillary isn't exactly a put down around here

Enjoy your visit.

[Bullet1987]

7. Yea the OP is adding his own personal opinion and flavor

to Fineman's words.

10. Agree - and he's accurate that Obama doesn't have a lot of experience in

Washington. And I never interpreted him intimating that Obama's weak. Sheesh. Maybe you should watch TV with eleny and me so we can talk you down. :eyes:

25. He missed his chance...

4. "he's inexperienced as a senator, inexperienced as a politician" What does this remind me of?

Hmmmm?

[eleny]

5. lol!

17. During the campaign when he

was in the primaries and the general.

fineman is tired and lazy.

[MarjorieG]

8. ineman was very pro-Bush from covering him earlier. A do-no-harm recommender, so his judgment is

faulty. How about this is a very difficult lift for anyone, especially in this corporatist climate. Not LBJ time, majority, which was also before Byrd Rule.

Gee, he sounds like Grassley.

[CoffinEd]

11. Look on the bright side

At least Fineman isn't gushing (at least not publicly) over Shrub's cod piece and how manly he looks in a flight suit. Seriously though, who gives a good colonoscopy what Fineman thinks?!

[Cali_Democrat]

12. I remember you....

19. Oh dear, got a thread locked because

it was passing ugly "slave rumors". Thanks I didn't see that one and was giving the benefit of the doubt.

20. Our lunch guest left without saying goodbye.

:rofl:

22. It's a sad day in Tokyo!

:P

[Thrill]

13. Its always easy to pile on when things aren't going well

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

14. blow me freep

[MasonJar]

15. I agree with Fineman. Obama is a very novice politician, and he is proving it.

[Cha]

16. Yeah...that's why I questioned this earlier..

18. So let me get this straight: If Obama is inexperienced then:

What in the hell was Bush.

Hillary would have been too aggressive

McCain would have gone nuclear

I guess Romney, Huck, Palin were PERFECT!!


EPIC FAIL ON FINEMAN's PART!! Every president is inexperienced once they get in.

24. Nah, that's not how he knew what was going on.

The truth is, Keith Olbermann and his guests speak fluent Japanese, and they provide a Japanese translation of what they just said in English during each commercial break on Countdown, which you can see if you have the "special" equipment like our little friend does.
