MSM & Peter King beating on Obama for not speaking

[RamboLiberal]

ABC anchor tonight had a snarky why hasn't Obama spoken in person on this. Now CNN anchor & King beating on Obama & Napolitano aren't speaking except through their spokespersons.

Napolitano is supposed to be at least on the ABC This Week tomorrow. Oh and to the MSM if this is so friggin' important why isn't Williams, Couric, Sawyer, Blitzer, and King coming back from Xmas break to report on this?

But maybe Obama should have gotten out there and appeared for a couple of minutes. Damn MSM are all praising Bush, Reagan, etc., for being out there on "crises" like this. Huh, I sure don't remember Bushies interrupting his friggin' vacations. Anyone remember Katrina? Now that was a real crisis that Bushie ignored for 4 friggin' days! Oh and let's not forget August 6th and his dismissing a CIA briefer with "You've covered your ass."

1. And if he had gone on TV and spoken about the incident right away

the same people would be all over his ass for "politicizing" it.

[firedupdem]

2. A few new posters have alluded to this becoming an issue already..

I guess it's what the RW will be pushing next week.

6. Yeah I was one of the one's talking about it in another thread

I'd link the CNN interview with King, but it might make people :puke:. It as if the MSN is pushing the meme that Obama wants the US to be attacked (even CNN).

3. And what do they expect either of them to say?

Nothing they say will change what happened over Detroit.

4. They use anything to whine and have as much credibility

as jane teabag hamsher.

8. I'm sure he is doing what he usually does

He waits until he has enough facts to make an informed decision.

He is not CNN and he does not have to march to CNN's timetable or their drum.

Bush didn't make it to Katrina for about 7 days or more, isn't that correct.

Then he did the "fly over."

And GW was lost the entire day of 9/11 and so was Cheney -- right!

14. Bush was 4 days late to Katrina

He was briefed on Sunday. Monday when Katrina hit NO instead of flying back to the WH as he should to monitor the situation he flew to Arizona and the San Diego to make some appearances he could've have cancelled or had an underling handle. Wednesday was the infamous flyover. Thursday he finally made it to NO and his aides gave him a DVD to watch on the plane to show the gravity of the situation. And that was the day of the "Heckuva job Brownie" comment.

20. he finally got to NYC on 9/14, the drunk lazy b'stard

[WeDidIt]

5. I think not speaking has spoken volumes

He was briefed and there's no big danger.

Lone wolf type idiot who was incompetent.

Why get everybody in an uproar?

7. Terra porn pushers filling the holiday void

:boring:

9. CNN Anchor Drew Griffin just said:

"The war on terror is like roaches, you put a little spray over here and they come out over there." (quoted the best I could)

The guy belongs on Fox News.

10. Oh Boy - Larry King is doing a live show on this

Old Larry never misses an opportunity. Gotta hand it to the old guy.

Hang your heads Williams, Couric, Sawyer, Blitzer, John King, and MSNBC in whole.

:sarcasm:

[goclark]

22. Has Larry read the tabloids this week? Wonder if he will do a show

about having an affair with his wife's sister.


Oh right, those crazy tabs always make up stories.

[asjr]

11. They are all pissed off because Obama

doesn't march to their selected drummers.

[bigdarryl]

12. yep its not even been 24 hours and some rethug has already blamed Obama

[NewLIfeArea]

13. Peter king want to Obama

failed..
:nuke:

[jenmito]

15. Obama is not Bush-using everything to terrorize the people, raise the terror alert level, etc.

The FBI has STOPPED several terrorist plots, but they didn't go out and give press conferences every time to scare the people. That's why Obama is NOT Bush. The media doesn't like that.

[wisteria]

16. This was the act of one person, and investigation is on going. What more could Obama do?

This is typical. We have had other incidences like this (the shoe bomber) when Bush was in office and he didn't address the nation. I am sure he is staying on top of this.

[annabanana]

17. King is an asswipe of major proportions. .

Big warmonger while throwing the odd bone to labor and kowtowing to AIPAC.

[Arkana]

18. Ah, Peter King.

There never was a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Wait, fu--

[BunkerHill24]

19. Peter King is a Drama Queen...n/t

[nookiemonster]

21. Fuck him.

He's nothing but a partisan piece of shit.
