11. I don't see this on ANY FUCKING channel!!!!!

And yet they carried all of Hillary's fucking speeches on Sunday and Mccain's today????

THAT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR BECAUSE IT PEOPLE DON'T GET TO HEAR THINGS FROM OBAMA'S MOUTH EXCEPT SNIPPETS WITH ANCHORS TALKING OVER THEM!!!

And not nearly as many people bother to see him online.

I fucking hate this country sometimes.:grr: :grr: :grr:

15. Contessa (what a dumb thing to name your kid) has to report on Dr Phil

and the FLDS story.. because they are just so much more important than anything else..:puke:

Like CNN always says .."We'll keep an eye on this story & let you know if anything important happens"..:puke:

Did you see last week during the old people rescue, how INDIGNANT and angry a host got when the camera people cut away..?

He was PISSED.. I was sure that the cameramen cut away because the old lady being rescued was valiently trying to keep her nightgown pulled over her poor little scrawny legs..

I was so mad..:grr:

12. CNN sucks

Msnbc is carrying it now, Cnn is playing a snippit of Mcbush's speech again instead and a replay of that Catholic story

[uponit7771]

13. He's response on the "excitement" is GREAT & that's the way I feel.

16. the speech was totally on point.

Obama makes me very proud to be an American. McBush makes me cringe.

[crankychatter]

19. The moderator just accidentally called Osama Bin Laden "Obama binLaden" to which Barack

said:

"I think you meant Osama"

[wndycty]

21. That is ABSOLUTELY FUCKED UP. . .to his face nonetheless

:kick:

[oviedodem]

23. The guy apologized but how you make a mistake like that is unreal.

[wndycty]

25. Hey I call them as I see them. . .

. . .he has been a candidate for over a year and a US Senator for even longer, not excuse for a mistake like that.

[Hope And Change]

20. Holy shit...did you hear the moderator say "Obama Bin Laden"??

Oh my God.LOL

[acrosstheuniverse]

22. NO DOUBT HE FUCKING DID IT ON PURPOSE

FUCK THE MEDIA!!!!

[acrosstheuniverse]

24. And watch the networks play this clip over and over

instead of anything of real substance. Plus it will squeeze out time from showing Hillary getting booed at.

[oviedodem]

27. The only benefit I could possibly see is way in which Obama handled it by not

getting flustered or angry and responding in adult fashion.

[Poll_Blind]

26. Open mic, could hear the moderators "What the fuck"ing about their...

...possible Osama/Obama mixup. Either way, Obama played it off very well.

28. At the end, I could hear the guy saying

I can't believe I said that, did I really say that? Another guy said, I don't know if you did or not. First guy said well I think I must have because he said I did. It certainly wasn't on purpose.

[Poll_Blind]

30. That's actually a pretty good transcript of exactly what I heard.

  If he didn't say Osama, if he did say Obama, I think Obama might have reacted as he did because he heard and saw crowd reaction (who also might have think they heard Osama) and went forward as though that were the case.

  I was too lost in the question itself, and how I might answer it, to be listening carefully at that point.

  Either way, I'm having a tough time thinking it was intentional.

  And, as always, it's nice to watch the kind of bounce Obama has. The harder ya hit this guy, the harder he bounces back!

29. Yeah that was pretty funny. . .

. . .someone will lose some sleep over this.
