CNN poll needs help: Was Obama right that cops were stupid?

[Liberty Belle]

Only 34% say yes right now: www.cnn.com scroll down and poll is on the right.

1. I don't know where all of this is coming from

But I do think it's tied in with my post above.

It's beginning to feel just a touch cool in the media since the House of Reps suggested this "surtax" on the wealthy. We all have to bear in mind that these news readers on television are quite wealthy, Katie at 15 million a year, Bill O'Liely at 10 million, David Gregory well over 3 million, and even Chris Mathes is at about 5 million a year. Anyway, all these folks are definitely affected, and pushing against this brainwashed mindset the media has been putting out there for decades now, of not taxing the rich, is making them angry. It's much like Dean suggesting we break the media up into many smaller companies. Next day, it's beat Dean up with everything you've got.

3. EXACTLY!

that's what I touched on in my OP, I am overwhelmed with the attack on Obama for this comment - they clearly are going after him - from the media heads to even the cop union saying Obama was, "dead wrong"... that's f-d up! see my post in GD


This won't be going away at all now... sickening.

4. It COULD be that,

but it could also be that the big OWNERS recognize the potential 'harm' should Prez O succeed in making real health care change. Fact is, real big guys don't want stuff for the rest of us, and this has been the case since the beginning of 'time.'

2. 34-41 losing. voted! thanks. I think most people hearing what happened,

even with all the BS hyperbole from the media talking heads that I talk about in my OP in GD , know that this was a case of the cop getting his pride hurt for no reason other than realizing he was wrong, and not wanting to apologize to the black man he shook up...

liberal media - my ass.

6. they LOVE contests like this! haha... there's a few of them that vote 1000s of times each, surely,

going to AOL you see the same thing in their polls, like 80% against anything they put up to vote on about Obama.

7. Your headline is just as bad as this poll.

Obama never said the cops were stupid.
