Glenn Beck: Obama Better For Country Than McCain Would Have Been

[CatWoman]

huh?

Glenn Beck thinks President Obama is better for the country than John McCain would have been, he said in an interview with Katie Couric to air at CBSNews.com Tuesday evening.

"I think John McCain would have been worse for the country than Barack Obama," Beck told Couric in the debut episode of her new web show, @katiecouric.

Beck's comment came in response to Couric's question about Hillary Clinton, who Beck said he may have even voted for had she been the Democratic nominee against John McCain.

"I can't believe I'm saying this," Beck said, "I think I would have much preferred as president and may have voted for her against John McCain."

He described McCain as "this weird progressive like Theodore Roosevelt was."

Hiya! :hi:

[Cha]

10. bech is a little too all over the place and

will incur many freepenemies with these comments. good.

bech has a wrong number on mccain..he's a liar just like bech.

[BlooInBloo]

12. Imma let you finsh, but I just gotta say...

Beck surely can't last much longer with his brain degenerating at this rate. My condolences to his family.

[Cha]

21. lol..a few items short of a

seabag.

[noiretextatique]

he's an entertainer

who probably doesn't believe half the crap he gets paid to spout. he is worse than a true believer.

[CBR]

2. What in the world -- "weird progressive"?

Teddy Roosevelt would have kicked Beck's ass.

[rvablue]

3. Of course, he thinks Obama is better, makes sense....

Obama is better for his wallet.

[Turbineguy]

4. McCain would have been worse

for Beck.

Beck doesn't give a flying fuck about the country.

[Cha]

11. Zingo! bech would not have made it on the cover of time w/softball

interview if mcpalin had stolen it. palin would be the freakshow.

[Uzybone]

33. nailed it!

[Laf.La.Dem.]

6. NO WAY

He will hear from FOX for saying such blasphemy:spank:

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. Is THIS the supposedly big announcement coming down the pike today

from the grandmaster of lunacy? Or was it the Rapture? BTW did it happen? I didn't see any mass disappearances or hear any news reports about this? :shrug: I guess this must mean that there is a cover up perhaps? %$%$*%($% librul media!!!! Darn!!! Oh well, we're just going to live with Beck and his ilk.......for only just a little while longer (I hope). :sigh:

:rofl:

[Kingofalldems]

7. Wait----> This evening he basically called Obama a communist

at the start of the show. And his voice got all hushy. He must use a different schtick for outside interviews.

[Bicoastal]

8. Waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait. Wait.

So the woman the RW has been demonizing for years is better than Barack Obama, who in turn is better than John McCain, who is almost as bad as THEODORE ROOSEVELT?

So, in Gin Blecch's mind, the order of appropriateness for the Presidency goes:

1. Hillary Clinton
2. Barack Obama
3. John McCain
4. Theodore Roosevelt?

:crazy:

[Cha]

13. With mccain ya got palin..so that's a double down dosage of toxic waste..

1. Hillary Clinton
2. Barack Obama
3. John McCain-palin
4. Theodore Roosevelt?

[BeatleBoot]

14. Jimmy Carter's Statement got to them and now they're trying to Muddy the Waters

muddying the waters so they dont' get stuck with the that moniker (too late).

They are trying to dig themselves out of their own hole.

Funny to watch if they weren't so despicable.

[hileeopnyn8d]

15. Glenn Beck

makes my head hurt.

John McCain is no Theodore Roosevelt. But it doesn't surprise me that he doesn't like either one of them. And he would not have voted for Hillary so he can just knock that shit off right now.

But the important question is - did he cry?

[RichGirl]

16. If you cut Glen Beck...

...no blood, computer chips ooze out. He's a test model...still needs some tweaking.

[Vidar]

18. If McCain was a "weird progressive like Theodore Roosevelt' we should

have elected him. So much for Beck making sense.

[tinrobot]

19. I knew Teddy Roosevelt

John McCain is no Teddy Roosevelt.

[HopeOverFear]

20. *TILT TILT TILT TILT*

[burning rain]

22. Beck's "logic" may be that Obama & McCain are both socialists.....

and that at least with Obama, more people will see and oppose the socialism, while McCain might have been able to lure people into socialism surreptititiously. What can I say? Beck's so far out there that Obama and Walnuts! are probably closer to each other than McCain is to Beck, so it makes sense that he'd see them as similar, given that he's such a far-right freak.

[proud patriot]

23. D'oh

x(

[Uzybone]

24. This guy is a practical joke on right wingers

the punchline is coming. I don't know when, but we will be laughing even louder when it comes.

[Sheepshank]

25. This is not reality

it's a trick question with a trick response.

He's licking Obama butt. He's stroking someone fast and furious. Now, what in the world could have brought that on, I wonder? *cough* sponsors *cough*

[CBR]

26. Some wingnut on Twitter just told me that

Glenn Beck has done more for this country than TR ever did. All Presidents have faults but geez, what a moran.

[damonm]

31. This for that idjit...

[PopSixSquish]

27. Are We Talking About the Same Glen Beck?

The one with the show on Fox News right? Perhaps I've just slipped into the parallel universe they show on FRINGE. That is a Fox TV show come to think of it...hmmmm...

[Doctor_J]

28. Amazing

that Katie is scraping the bottom of the barrel like this. When is she going to do a puff piece on Thom Hartmann or Mike Malloy?

[sabrina 1]

29. He ran out of things to shock people with. The Summer of Hate

is over and his ratings were probably dropping, or maybe he wants to get back some of those advertisers.

Anyhow, he's accomplished his goal. He's getting attention.

Someone who cares about him really ought to just check him into a place where he can get help. If not for him, then for the country.

[LiberalFighter]

30. He's just trying to keep the Secret Service from breaking down his door.

[jenmito]

32. That's bull. Between his Obama conspiracy theories he throws in a "Dems. love their country, too"

just to cover his butt. He is the leading cult leader and the main reason teabaggers are carrying guns to town halls and signs of socialist monkeys.

[LTR]

34. Obama is better for that moronic tub of shit's career

If McCain won, people would ignore this idiotic media whore's lunatic ramblings.

[DuaneBidoux]

35. Theodore Roosevelt was one of the few great POTUSs. Beck is the weird one.

[RamboLiberal]

36. WTH are these MSM nimrods like Couric and Time Mag

giving looney tunes racist Beck a platform? He should be ostracized! Instead they are treating him like the 2nd coming. I swear Couric's ratings started going in the toilet when I believe it was her first week of the CBS Evening News she featured Limbaugh.

[Clio the Leo]

37. REPENT!!! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!!!!!

CLEARLY we are on the precipice of the Armageddon!!!!

WHERE did I put that duct tape!!!!?

[Colobo]

38. Glenn Beck needs his meds.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

39. He's right. Obama is much better for Beck's ratings than McCain would have been.

[pdxmom]

40. It's about making sure he cements the far right loons to continue to

do his bidding. I see this as a way to make sure the loons see him as "one of them" and keep them following his crazy off the cliff.

[Jennicut]

41. McLame and progressive don't belong in the same sentence.

And TR would kick Glenn the crybaby's butt all over the place.

[dionysus]

42. "this weird progressive like Theodore Roosevelt was." he can't even be right without it being for

the wrong reason!
:rofl:

[invictus]

43. McCain is no progressive. He would have been the most pro-war president in American history.

[SIMPLYB1980]

44. About time to put Beck in a padded cell.

For his and everyone he knows own safety.
