school of faux-journalism. He must read the Drudge report every morning in preparation for his "show."

I'm sure this pisses Todd off to no end. Democrats aren't supposed to be controlling the talking points and because President Obama is doing just that I'm sure Todd's plans to criticize the President as unprepared or weak is blowing up in his sack of shit face.

Poor Todd. Totally unprepared with his outdated mantra.

So far President Obama is pretty much dominating the message.

I think that all ReTHUGs and their hacks are unprepared with their outdated mantras.
Obama will not lie down and let them swiftboat him or define the message.
This is going to be fun

Todd, Gregory & Legacy Luke would take a couple of cues from Rachel, or even O'Donnell, and spiff up their analytic skills. I would think that would be fulfilling to them.

I've worked with some intelligent people in my day. I've learned from them. It not only made me a better professional, but a much better human, as well. Seriously.

Obviously they will never have Maddow's intellect, or O'Donnell's work experiences, but they could at least, have have the curiosity and honesty that empower's them. Get them off that lazy train of thinking.

are acting as though EVERYTHING President Obama has done- that every other President before him has done- has been extraordinary for some reason. Whether it's him taking vacations, using Air Force One (what other planes have modern Presidents used?), or whatever President Obama has done, it's always portrayed as something *special* or unprecedented- except it's not.


President Obama has 3+ years of actual accomplishments to run on. All the GOP currently has to use against him are smears and diversions and a *candidate* whose proposed agenda is warmed over Bush policy failures or, in some cases, even more radical policies championed by the far right. America: The choice is yours!
