Face the nation: Obama getting airlplay for his redeployment from Iraq.
Bob Shaeffer is a good man. he's one of the very few who challenged the B* administration back when they were dieties.

1. none of them are good but Shaeffer is not as bad as many. He also tried like hell to sensationalize
Wes Clark's remarks by rephrasing his completely objective and true statement into a question about "getting shot out of a plane" and when Clark answers his question then appears scandalized that he would use such inflamatory words.

2. He let Obama speak for himself, ended it without commentary and let
Obama have the last word. He switched over to discussion of the economy.

It was a freebie for Barack. Nice to see.

4. "He let Obama speak for himself" I don't understand your point he wasn't even the interviewer.

5. Beat me to it.
That was certainly not a high point in his career.

6. I didn't see it that way...
I think he was stating the obvious and giving Clark the opening to state what he did. I did not think Sheaffer thought being a POW automatically qualifies one to be CiC.
