Just a critical review from a skeptic

[depakid]

That would be one of the more effective press conferences in most folks' recent memories.

Now watch how the media whores try to spin it. Starting with the pathetic Howard Fineman who knows NOTHING about anything- and yet for whatever reason, has a place in punditocracy/

1. I thought it was great, too

Did Howard and Rachel watch the same thing I just watched?

[depakid]

4. Fineman really doesn't know anything- and has little in the way of ethics

beyond which way the wind blows- or how the folks who prop him up want the wind to blow.

Let's just say there's a reason why- some years back he got voted up by colleagues and the nascent new media alike as "Media Whore of the Year."

2. If this is his Waterloo it sure looks kind of funny...seriously WTH???

3. He thinks Obama wasn't excited enough -

Obama spent time going over his list of non-talking points and just didn't act like he should have.

I watched the presser - it was serious, comprehensive, and I got a sense of urgency from Obama.

Fineman can shove his opinion up his ass.

7. Look, Obama did facts- and analysis

Guys like Fineman- they can't do it. So they whine on about whatever.

I'm sure everyone has seen in their work a person who doesn't know how to analyze things- yet keeps their job because they know how to use a word processor, be amiable- and curry favor with the powers that be.

That was and is Howard Fineman.

Not someone to have our kids model after,

5. That's why I switch off ALL the talking heads after a press conference

I don't need them spinning and interpreting for me.

6. I turned it off immediately when Obama had finished. Who needs pundits? I have a brain.

[depakid]

8. Well, that was probably the most sensible thing to do.

9. thanks for the OP

I didn't get to watch yet, and was lookin for some info.
peace and low stress..

[Hutzpa]

10. I'm watching Hardball now

in trying to get his point out there tonite.....:rofl:

11. lol

When I want health reform, the last people I would turn to for advice would be "independents womens forum" (corp controlled RW group) Michelle Bernard and freaking Dr Nancy.

12. Echo Chamber Circle Jerk.

What a bunch of self important little toadies. Will we ever see the likes of Cronkite again? I think not.

[depakid]

13. "Will we ever see the likes of Cronkite again? I think not."

I think so- if only for the hackneyed deal- you know the one.

The pendulum swings.
