Interview with President Obama coming up on 60 minutes n/t

[malaise]

[amerikat]

1. Steve Croft is running a push poll.

Obama is handling it pretty well. In my opinion.

[malaise]

6. Obama is a very thoughtful man

That said why he would expect cooperation from men and women who refuse to acknowledge the correct name of the party he leads, the Democratic party, only he knows.

[amerikat]

10. That's why I call him Boner.

When/if he grows up I'll call him Boehner. It pains me to stoop to
that level. Buts that's the way it is for me. He has a choice. Boner can say Democratic Party or not it's his choice.
Even DU spell checks wants me to call him Boner.

[malaise]

14. I agree with you 100%

It's time the Democratic Party take a stand on their own name. Any RETHUG who says Democrat party in the House or Senate must be called on it. Ask the clerk to record it and stop the discussion.

Any RETHUG or hack in the media who says Democrat party, call the Teapublicans and hang up on them - enough of this shit. ReTHUGS do not own the political discussion. Get up , stand up Stand up for your rights.

[amerikat]

22. I have called them much worse names than rethugs

Only because they refuse to say Democratic Party.

[polichick]

2. I'm holding my breath - hope he doesn't back down...

I feel bad for him and also frustrated by so many of his choices.

[malaise]

3. Four out of 10 voters support the tea party

That used to be a minority.

[polichick]

5. Wish the election had shown that better. nt

[kentuck]

7. Why should you have to hold your breath??

Shouldn't you know?

[polichick]

9. The equivocating language he uses makes me crazy...

And, in the end, he usually caves.

[malaise]

11. Steve Croft has his own agenda

Fugg him - they're all corporate hacks - not a thought for the gap between rich and poor. Not one of them ever mentions it.

[polichick]

13. That's for sure - don't know why the prez would agree to an interview with him. nt

4. K&R...nt

8. Hi there

Obama better let those tax cuts expire. :hi:

[Tatiana]

12. I get the feeling that we are going to be giving the rich people a tax cut as well.

People who are most likely to use and spend money are people of more modest means, says the President.

But he also says he's open to a compromise solution of extending the tax cuts for the wealthy for 2 years.

[Tatiana]

15. Handing him that cartoon... what a low and classless thing to do.

Crost is clearly a mediawhore.

[polichick]

16. That was awful - he never would have done that with Bush or Reagan. nt

[HipChick]

17. As I have said before..the media seem to have little or no respect for this President..

[polichick]

20. Bill Maher called them out on that the other night. I'd say it's because he's black, but...

I think they might be just as nasty to any Dem.

[HipChick]

21. Nope..the reverence for the man isn't there

[Tatiana]

23. I don't think they would have done this to a Clinton or a Kerry or a Gore.

No... this type of disrespect is quite unique.

[otohara]

18. Do I Even Want to Know?

I had to turn it off, when Agent Orange started to spew

[cherokeeprogressive]

19. Yeah but there's a football game on.
