The Republicans are DESPERATELY Trying to Spin this Press Conference Against Obama

[MadBadger]

Fox News is saying that this speech is the end of Obama, Pat Buchanan is saying that Obama lacks credibility (but yet he sides with Wright). It is all clear that the right is trying to spin this thing as bad for Obama, but Chris Matthews, people on CNN, democratic strategist on MSNBC see things the opposite away.

1. The GOP just lost the Wright issue for the GE

Of course they're going to desperately try to keep it going, but they have to know it wont work.

[WeDidIt]

7. Of course they are trying to spin

They had counted on banging the Wright drums all the way to November 4.

[babylonsister]

9. You got it. The GOP needs to get back to the drawing board now. nt

30. One Thing for Sure...

There are a lot of bad spin articles being hurled at Obama. Come on, if he was'nt electable the MSM, GOP, and Hilltites
wouldn't be so focused on tarnishing his reputation.

[2rth2pwr]

2. I would like to hear the spin that makes this a good thing for Obama.

[speedoo]

11. No spin necessary, just watch it.

Unless you don't have an open mind.

[WeDidIt]

13. Wright threw Obama under the bus

Obama was not willing to go there intially, until Wright made it personal.

[NoodleyAppendage]

22. Obama ran over Wright with the bus...then backed up a ran over him again.

Wright is mush under the tires of the Obama Express! Wright is no longer relevant and will not be an issue for the general now.

26. 13. Wright threw Obama under the bus

And the press club wright speech was Sponsored by a clinton supporter.

3. Faux Noise would say that night is day

and day is night if it would hurt the Dems. I'm hoping that the majority of Americans aren't stupid enough to buy their bilge any more.

[LSparkle]

4. Not to mention the Hillbots here on DU ...

Saying he looked "weak" and "humiliated" ...

The suckola MSM now has a choice to make: Are they going to continue
to cover Wright, even though Obama has very publicly denounced, renounced,
DIVORCED him? If the media continues to perpetuate this "feud" they are
betraying the fact that they're all about gutter politics and not about
the issues that matter to the American people. Since Wright obviously
does not speak for the campaign -- and the candidate has just cut the
guy loose -- Wright no longer has ANY NEWS VALUE WHATSOEVER ... unless
you're into the politics of personal destruction.

5. Pat Buchanan looks depressed cuz Wright might go away.

Pat makes me shout the F word at the TV a lot.

[RiverStone]

31. He will just have to go back to praising Hillary...

Which was his favorite pass time before Wright opened his mouth again.

Gawd, the pukes are so afraid of running against Obama this fall - for good reason.

[speedoo]

6. Obama was outstanding, very impressive.

Actually the MSNBC discussion is pretty good, even Tweety is making sense.

Buchanan raises a legitimate point, although I don't agree with him.

In the long run, today's presser will prove to be a significant plus for Obama. It was a difficult thing for him to do, but most who actually saw him had to be impressed.

8. Now right wingers are sticking up for Wright

:rofl:

[bdamomma]

10. the repigs are a syndicate a crime syndicate.

[redqueen]

12. The Republicans? Check out DU's Hillary supporters. (nt)

[MadBadger]

16. Well they are Fox News Watchers.

[AzDar]

14. Now, they've got nuthin'. Morans.

[NJmaverick]

15. The Republicans are pissed because they have been played

They thought they had a winning issue. Then they fell into the trap set by Obama

[redqueen]

18. Heheh... as I said in another thread...

we should all be thanking the mighty wurlitzer's participants, for playing their hand so early. Twice.

[MadBadger]

23. It will be key to see how the Evening News covers it.

[dionysus]

17. so are the shillbots.... coincidence?

[MadBadger]

19. Its all doom and gloom on Fox

"Will this be enough to save his candidacy"

[butterfly77]

20. They need it for the General elections...

but it won't work...

[LaurenG]

21. It's a going to feel GREAT when senator Obama just keeps on keeping on

It is hannity's greatest desire to place a neocon back in the White House. I wish them utter failure at their games.

[Carrieyazel]

24. Almost nobody watches MSNBC outside of the 8:00 hour, so don't get overly concerned

Press conferences are such a waste, and nobody's watching.

[MadBadger]

25. People do watch CNN. And they will watch the nightly news.

[Coexist]

27. CNN has been getting better- they actually show news all day

and not political silliness 24/7. They will have a poli piece in there, but it doesn't dominate constantly.



And they did show the replay in its entirety, instead of having pundits bash soundbytes.

Of course, we could all do without their evening lineup

[MadBadger]

28. CNN is pure news while the others are personality

I tend to like some of the personalities on MSNBC (Tweety, KO, Dan Abrams), so I watch them

[Coexist]

29. I like KO, Tweety in measured doses

but CNN daytime for sure.
