KOlbermann:" Obama has Democrats & some Republicans' heads spinning"

[kelligesq]

On Obama's citing Reagan as an agent of change:

"Obama just had an endorsement of the culinary union in Nevada and Reagan was known for busting the air-controllers union, is that going to affect the votes of that union?"

[kelligesq]

1. Could be Obama knows he's in over his head & trying to lose. n/t

:shrug:

[Gman]

2. No, Obama just has this political death wish

He should have been put on political suicide watch a long time ago. He's done a very good job of committing political suicide at every opportunity. I'm really surprised he's come this far.

I can't imagine any good reason to bring up Reagan in such a union intensive state.

9. Obama's praise for Reagan's ideas is way over the top.

It makes me wonder if he is a Democrat at all.

[semndem]

12. Did you read what he said?

He said that Reagan changed things in the political world. He doesn't agree with them.

[JackORoses]

13. your IQ has to be above 75 to understand what Obama said

He wasn't even talking about Reagan, the Man

He was talking about the Times Reagan was elected in, the Mood of the Country

the rare Window of Opportunity which can be acted in to create great Change

Reagan used it to move the country to the right and we are still experiencing the effects of that shift.

Obama can use it to move the Country back to its People.

[FrenchieCat]

3. Actually, more than that was said......

And Obama specifically said that he didn't agree with Reagan's policies.

But go ahead and spin it for all it's worth.

You are making Bill and Hill very happy for themselves.

[sandnsea]

5. could you expound

I just don't care to watch any of the spew today.

[jackson_dem]

17. He does agree with some of what Reagan did.

From his book.

Pages 156-157

"The conservative revolution Reagan helped usher in gained traction because Reagan's central insight--that the liberal welfare state had grown complacent and overly bureaucratic, with Democratic policy makers more obsessed with slicing the economic pie than with growing he pie--contained a good deal of truth."

He thinks 60's and 70's Democratic liberals were wrong and Reagan "corrected" some of their errors. The question for us is what "corrections" Reagan made does Obama approve of?

[sandnsea]

4. Keith reads way too much DU

That or he's just as shoddy a journalist as the rest of them are.

[kelligesq]

6. uh=oh - KO is about the only place you'll really hear news unfiltered by MSM

little sour grapes there ?

[sandnsea]

8. Doesn't mean he's always right, and he isn't

He shilled for Hillary for a long time. He started backing off when that Shaheen stuff emerged, and then really backed off after the NV law suit. Now that the word has come down from Emily's List, well who knows what is going on at MSNBC.

[Berry Cool]

15. Oh, what a bunch of bull.

Keith shills for NO ONE. He just said so on the Daily Kos because he's sick of everyone thinking he's AGAINST their candidate. I can't blame him. People are now seeing in him everything they don't want to see, just to have an excuse to be angry at him. This election season has made them crazy.

[stravu9]

20. Keith's RATHER LARGE PAYCHECK is signed by CORPORATE MEDIA.

Don't tell ME hoe "pure of heart" he is!
It doesn't hurt his IVY LEAGUE backside if Republicans get into office again and further desimate the working class! In fact he get to pretend he's Edward R. Murrow somemore if they do!

[sandnsea]

22. Oh maybe it was his personal preference

Maybe he was just legitimately supporting Hillary a few months ago. But he definitely reported everything from the perspective of her campaign. It started shifting when her campaign started getting dirty. I really don't know what he's doing now because I haven't watched in a while. But he does not always get the story right.

[TwilightZone]

7. KO is about to be KO'd on DU.

[madfloridian]

11. I will be honest. He let O'Donnell spin like crazy.

He did not counter the dangerous things O'Donnell said.

[stravu9]

10. Keith? DISAPPOINTING

IF ANYONE ELSE had said this you would be having fits, but Obama gets yet ANOTHER FREE RIDE!
You are as bad as the rest of them.
My sister likes your show.
I think I'll turn on SOAPNET instead. If I'm gonna watch DRIVEL...
The guys on soaps are better looking.

[Berry Cool]

16. Well, there was a truly mature statement. n/t

[stravu9]

18. Yes, 'cause Keith NEVER says anything SILLY OR TRIVIAL!

GEt real

[stravu9]

21. are you one of his groupies?

?

[Adelante]

23. Word nt

[kelligesq]

14. giving Odonnell enough rope to hang himself - show himself after

his stupid Huffinton post blog - and he did

[johnnydrama]

19. geez

Is this another case of KO saying one thing somebody doesn't like out of his last 10,000 comments, so now all of a sudden it's, I never really liked him...

Give me an f'ing break.

[unc70]

24. Disappointed that KO allowed O'Donnell to comment wrt Edwards

and Obama in light of O'Donnell's hit piece of Edwards at Huffinton Post, insinuating he would be remembered as a racist.

If O'Donnell had made similar attacks previously against any of our other candidates, even Obama, I would also call foul.
