Hey, Joe and Mika! I didn't see you at the White House with Rachel and Gene!

[CTyankee]

Whatsa matter, your invitation got lost in the mail? Prior engagement?

I'm gonna tune in to see how miffed ya'll are gonna be tomorrow, you overrated gas bags...

1. They've been defending and praising Obama's speech and following actions since

the morning after the speech. I've been surprised.

[CTyankee]

2. Well, about time. After WEEKS of haranguing about Obama's lack of emotion

and beating that dead horse to bloody bits. And it always seems to me that their praise is hedged by snark.

Can't wait to tune in and see what they'll do. They've gotta be jealous as hell...Mika especially, since she calls herself a "liberal."

[jenmito]

3. They've both been surprisingly supportive of Obama's speech AND results

of the BP meeting AND his actions from the beginning. Mika has been very upset at anyone blasting Obama's speech or behavior since the beginning to the point of arguing with Giuliani when he refused to even give Obama credit for getting BP to put up $20 billion with no cap in escrow. Then, the WH sent her a message giving the facts about their actions since "day one," refuting Giuliani's attacks on Obama.

4. I missed that. When I see that people like Giuliani is going to be coming up on the show

I switch channels. Glad she was supportive and that Joe didn't try to talk over her so that she finally gives up...hope this is a sign that things might be changing on that show. I'll give it a try tomorrow...

6. I was literally reaching for the remote during Rudy's segment then Joe & Mika turned on him.

I don't know what got into them.

[CTyankee]

7. Oooh! I'm gonna wander over to MSNBC.com for the vid....

[Cha]

15. Sounds like a nice surprise in the nick of time.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. Poor Rudy must have thought he walked into the wrong studio this morning.

[CTyankee]

8. OK, I watched the segment with Rudy. Mika WAS talked over, ignored and bullied by 4

loudmouthed men (yes they were men) and laughed at. She was UNABLE to do anything to change or divert or illuminate this issue.

I don't know why people here think THAT program segment was so great! It WASN'T, folks! It was a disaster for Mika for our side....

what planet are you guys on....geez...go back and watch it again. These guys were LAUGHING at Mika...

[cutlassmama]

9. Par for the course. That always happens. Joe has come out and said

he's a Republican many times.

[jenmito]

10. I didn't think it was a great segment. I just said I was very surprised that Mika and Joe

have been supportive of Obama and defending him against the critics (especially those who criticized Obama's speech right after it). They both kept saying they must've missed something because they thought he did exactly what everyone WANTED him to do, concluding that some won't be pleased no matter WHAT he says.

The Giuliani segment was infuriating because they DID all gang up on Mika. My point was that Mika was on the right (correct) side for once.

[CTyankee]

11. OK, sorry I didn't mean to go off on you, Jen. It's okay.

I'm just disappointed. I don't like to see the ONE WOMAN on the TV set being talked down, ridiculed, and disrespected. She could have set the guidelines ahead of time and said "This is the way it is going to be." She obviously did not.

No more. I won't watch any more of this stuff...sorry...

[jenmito]

12. No problem...

I posted on this thread mainly to address your OP in which you seemed to think Mika and Joe were bashing Obama on the oil spill/speech. They were doing quite the opposite. That's all. :hi:

[CTyankee]

13. Yeah, Mika tried, like she always does...to no avail...I hate to see this. I really do.

It depresses me...

[Cha]

14. The White House sent her a message?

Thanks for the report, jen.
