Wolf Blitzer: Assuming President Elect Obama takes office Jan 20....

[dennis4868]

will you support his stimulus package?

This was a question addressed to Sen. Spector.

WTF DOES WOLFIE MEAN BY "ASSUMING" HE TAKES OFFICE ON JAN 20TH? DOES WOLFIE KNOW SOMETHING WE DON'T?

[Triana]

1. !!!!!!!!!

:wtf:

[Joe Bacon]

16. Oh, please we KNOW that THE BEARDED LESLIE is a Press Whore!

He got where he is due to his relationship with Pat Robertson. Robertson made THE BEARDED LESLIE into the Presstitute he is today! We also know that The Bearded Leslie doesn't even take a pee without asking for permission from his Republican masters!

[Zombie2]

2. I'd also like to know what he means by that...

:shrug:

[sufrommich]

3. Wolf Blitzer is an idiot. He mangles words and sentences almost

as regularly as Bush. For the life of me,I don't understand how that guy got such a plumb job at CNN.

[CrispyQ]

11. I wonder the same thing, too.

Why would any network give Blitzer their flagship show?

[dixiegrrrrl]

4. How did Specter react? What did he say?

[joanski0]

6. Specter said he'd have to read it first.

Then he went on to brag about how he has always crossed the aisle to work together.

[Captain Hilts]

5. WTF?????

[DJ13]

7. Blitzer must get his news from FreeRepublic

[IDemo]

21. or RaptureReady??

[libnnc]

8. WTF!!

And I'm sure no one followed up that statement.

:nuke:

Perhaps Wolfie needs a visit from the Secret Service -- since he's obviously privy to something the rest of us aren't.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Blitzer doesn't know anything the rest of us don't...

He's just being cautious...

Relax.

Nothing's going to happen to Obama.

[Warren Stupidity]

12. huh?

He wasn't 'just being cautious'. He was being a nasty prick and deliberately insinuating that something could happen to Obama between now and January 20 that would alter events. But if you insist this is normal, please provide other references in the past to the upcoming inauguration of the president elect that have put that inauguration in the conditional mode.

[onehandle]

10. Oh Noes! This is big.

DUers are really going to miss being the underdogs.

[Warren Stupidity]

14. It isn't big, it is just vile.

We continue to have a corporate media that is committed to undermining and sabotaging anything they view as a threat to corporate control of the federal government, which most certainly includes the Obama administration. Are you old enough to remember the unremitting onslaught against the Clinton administration? Winning an election is just one piece of the puzzle.

[Joe Chi Minh]

24. God willing, his longevity in life and office will be all the sweeter for those

low-lifes.

[Zynx]

13. I say stupid shit like that all of the time.

He just didn't think his question out before speaking.

[bridgit]

15. Oh for crying out loud!! It's Wolf Blitzer!! WTF does he know!?

[benld74]

17. HEY BLITZER, STFU!

[grantcart]

18. lol well Obama still has to 'close the deal' with the Electoral College.

[FrenchieCat]

19. Yes, According to the Media, Obama is having a problem with

his Left Flank. The media appears to be loving that slant.

[WinkyDink]

20. I guess to him Obama is "allegedly" the President-Elect.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

22. Wierd

He must still think that the election is still going? Maybe somebody ought to send him a memo reminding him that Obama DID win and WILL assume office on 01/20/09?
:shrug:

[Sebastian Doyle]

23. Wonder what Leslie's heard from his friends at Mossad HQ?

:scared:

[AZ Criminal JD]

25. See if you can be anymore anti-Semitic

[Sebastian Doyle]

29. How is that "anti-semitic"?

Leslie Blitzer's past employment with AIPAC and the Mossad propaganda rag "The Jerusalem Post" are a matter of record.

[jefferson_dem]

26. Assuming Wolfie doesn't bake kittens into little little pies...

He might actually have a modicum of decency.

[Whisp]

27. creepy bastard, I expect shit like that coming out his prillo pad hole.

[Radical Activist]

28. He keeps getting put back on my shit list.

What a pathetic excuse for a journalist.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

30. That is quite an odd statement.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

31. That is quite an odd statement.

[jbnow]

32. Maybe it was just habit from a long campaign when they had to

talk that way, For instance was clear Obama would be the nominee...or at least Clinton had next to impossible odds to get the delegates after Obama had that long win streak prior to Ohio/Texas. It was something like if she got 65% in all the remaining states she would still need over 80% of remaining superdelegates...not impossible but close to it.

Yet the media kept talking like you couldn't be sure...so it would be "if Obama becomes the nominee..." Some uncertainty in language remained until after the convention!
And during the general you always talk in terms of uncertainty...even when Obama had a multitude of paths to victory (electoral votes) and McCain needed everything to go perfectly and against odds to get to his.

This was a long, long campaign where it was always "if" and not "when".
Old habits die hard

[scardycat]

33. And dont forget Wolfie said of the Katrina victims..

"They are so poor and so black" What the frack??

[Beacool]

34. Does Wolf expect a coup d'etat?

:shrug:
