Are Matthews and Fineman Living in an Alternate Universe??

[Connie_Corleone]

Right after the press conference, both Chris Matthews and Howard Fineman said that Obama never mentioned anything about an individual and employer mandate. Then Matthews said it was a mistake for Obama not to bring it up.

I could've sworn I heard Obama mention it early on. He also got a question where Obama answered talking about an individual mandate.

And since Matthews has such a fascination about race, he says the last answer about the cops was going to be THE issue discussed tomorrow.

Uh, maybe Matthews will talk about it ad nauseum, but I won't.

1. Fineman is working my last nerve

Nothing but complaints...

Obama looked tired...
Obama blew this opportunity to tell real stories
Negative
Negative
Negative

Hey Fineman guess what, the country and the congress are having the discussion. That's right 7 months into the administration the discussion is happening......

Sheesh.

3. He should wear a shirt that says "Obama looked tired." So very odd, I thought he was on fire and on

point with every issue. Fineman just likes to complain and play the devils advocate on issues. It's definitely annoying.

5. Did this knucklehead even listen to what Obama said?

Didn't he mention examples of real people suffering from high health care costs and being denied coverage?

Twilight Zone, I tell ya.

4. I missed the entire speech and all I am seeing is recaps of the race question

:eyes: As if Pres. Obama said something SURPRISING. WTF? Yes, racism still exists now focus on what he said about healthcare!

6. What the fuck was he watching.

Regardless of what he thinks of the president, his comments tonight are simply not factual. Obama did humanize the reform efforts several times - recall the parents of the child with cancer having to choose...and the parents of the child with the sore throat. I think Howard is trying to be too cute for his own good.

7. He did mention individual mandates

In fact he brought it up on his own while answering another question.

12. The MSNBC Echo Chamber

Is busy working on their corporate agenda - trying to knock Obama down a few pegs. Its disgusting and disgraceful. They know full well what they say will bury any independent perception people may hold about the Presidents speech. These douche bags think they will elevate themselves by tearing a good man down. Fuck them and their self indulgent circle jerk.

13. Yes. The D.C. Beltway.
