I'm watching the President on my local Bay Area channel give a speech....

[FrenchieCat]

Was he shown on the cable networks? Cause I just turned to MSNBC and Andrea was chattering away about politics, but the speech wasn't on.

1. florida here and no speeches nm

[FrenchieCat]

2. "special" only to the Bay Area, I guess.

Convenient if this speech wasn't aired.

5. Have you ever done a post that wasn't snarky or show you as a complete douchebag?

:shrug:

6. Is there a reason you are here......?

cause supporting Democrats doesn't seem to be one of them.

4. It was on then CNN cut it. Big surprise.

Looking forward to video and to the transcript, there was some great content in what little I caught.

Good article here:

7. You can watch it here when it gets loaded up,

along with his speech from last night, and all of the rest of the coverage
that this channel has done since Airforce 1 touched down!

He is still being covered as we speak....


Is there a reason the media is not showing the President speak about the Gulf?
Seems like they had Carville on talking about his thoughts an awful lot....
seemed they do the same for the President of the United States!

8. You and I both know why they don't show it.

Carville, on the other hand, brought the Drama, and Drama sells.

Reality and positivity, well, it just doesn't match their agenda.

:eyes:

11. And lies sell...carville said the President..

"The President of the United States could've come down here"

You don't think the "media" will report that carville missed the first trip the President made, do you? In answer to carville's drama?

9. Andrea Mitchell was going on and on about how bad the "optics" look and then said

about how "One day trip isn't gonna fix that" regarding Obama's (2nd) trip to the Gulf Friday and the building anger of those on the Gulf who are blaming the admin. Then she showed about one sentence of Obama speaking just now. :eyes:

10. Thanks for posting that link!

It has so much video that the media hasn't shown-I'm watching him speak at Boxer's fundraiser now! :hi:

[FrenchieCat]

12. Yep. If we don't see it, it ain't happening, so the media hope we know.

They are gonna be the ones to have failed this country,
and then they will point to the President and call it
his failure.

Of course enough of us will be here doing the same,
helping them out on this meme.....and then some will
blame the President in November. Well I'm going to blaming
the fools who think that holding feet to fire means
burning the entire fucking house down.

13. True...

For example, Joe Scarborough played ONE sentence of Obama speaking at Boxer's fundraiser where he said, "Nobody's angrier about this oil spill than I am." Joe acted as if that's the only thing he said about it and then moved on. But just having watched the whole thing, I now see he spoke a heck of a lot more on the subject, explaining what he and his admin. are doing, up to the minute, to deal with the leak. If all you saw was MSNBC's coverage, you'd think he said he's angry and then moved on to criticize Republicans at his "San Francisco fundraiser" which he was "tone deaf" and "stuck on stupid" for going to while the oil was still leaking. Meanwhile, not only has Obama been to the Gulf region WEEKS ago, he's going again Friday. :eyes:
