Barack Obama on MSNBC on David Gregory tomorrow AM. He should ask
why MSNBC is always cheerleading for Hillary and shoving her down our throats while trying to make Obama look stupid.
I suspect the Clintons are shoveling alot of money that way. They are probably buying the media. They have covered up the results of the polling after the debate and declared Hillary the winner though she got 3rd place. And since the people are the ones voting and it's our choice and not theirs, they had no right to over ride the people in order to promote their candidate.

16. yes, Even after he
won their poll after the Debate. They went on to say Hillary won. She did not win. They did not mention the poll at all.

you know the really funny thing is that i don't support her but i'm really tired of candidates being bashed on "Truthiness" and speculation---all of them.

2. Maybe he should ask this about Obamas supporters...
Why they continually whine about their guy being in second place in the polls, and ascribe it to everything besides the obvious fact that he is not the most popular Democrat running...

4. I've never heard his supporters whine..



He's in my top 3 choices (top 4 if Clark runs), but I think that the Obama supporters onboard here are pretty damned awesome.

"besides the obvious fact that he is not the most popular Democrat running..."




Who here cares about "popularity contests" a year out?

5. Absolutely wrong thing to do - Obama was very good on This Week
adroitly handling all questions, very non defensively. He has to do what he did there - sound Presidential and informed on everything, sound willing to listen to others and seem like a great person. Because the pieces point in different directions - this is very hard to do - but it works if he can. (and makes Hillary and Edwards seem shrill in comparison. This also seems what Hillary is trying to do.)

6. What hysterics!
"I suspect the Clintons are shoveling alot of money that way. They are probably buying the media."

Nice smear.

"They have covered up the results of the polling after the debate and declared Hillary the winner though she got 3rd place."

LOL, that dinky local station poll? Covered up?

"And since the people are the ones voting and it's our choice and not theirs, they had no right to over ride the people in order to promote their candidate."

Great advice. Have your candidate look unhinged as he screams about media coverage when he happenbs to be one of the few candidates getting regular media coverage.

9. Clinton's were also the 3rd man on the grassy knoll, the iceberg that sank the titanic
and are responsible for all email phishing schemes.

I'm so glad to see people are bashing candidates based on "facts"
:sarcasm:

10. The smear can be expected, the "advice" was stunning.
Might as well have told Obama to whip his dick out.

11. Wrong move...
If you're a candidate, the last thing you want to do is mention someone else who you are running against... unless they ask you something directly...in which case, you bring the point back to you. Any other strategy is foolish.

I might ask David Gregory at the end of the interview how he liked dancing with Karl Rove if he's a prick.

18. Sometimes I think his supporters should do the same :)
It does get rough on DU for "other" supporters.

I caught part of the Gregory interview this a.m. and he did just fine despite David trying to win a gotcha soundbite. I like Barry :toast:

15. Don't forget where the MS in MSNBC comes from.
Both she and her husband are far too cozy with those con men.
