[Turborama]

VIDEO - Feedback on President Obama's town hall and the importance of growing small business, with Larry Burton, Business Roundtable executive director: http://classic.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1595676167&play=1

They spent about two hours going around the country desperately trying to find someone who hated it and in the end one of their guys resorted to reading out emails from some stockbrokers.:rofl:

1. Last words, very half-heartedly....."Well thanks Larry, we appreciate it."..LOL..

Larry wasn't falling for it and was very positive....Not what the script called for..

[Turborama]

5. Yeah, they totally FAILED and knew it. LOL

I really liked Larry's attitude. I'm glad I found out his full name and am able to get him some name recognition after that. As I mentioned in http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4546615">the LBN OP, I only caught his 1st name while hearing it going on in the background after the Town Hall had finished.

8. It's crazy to me

that anyone is talking about tax cuts for the rich. Absolutely insane. But yes, I get the (obvious) motive.

[Turborama]

9. I don't get the motive actually

I really don't.

10. Corporate media makes a mockery of 'journalism'

They are solely into propaganda for their own 'elite' villager point of view.

[OhioChick]

11. ....

12. Pathetic, watching trash try and make an honest business man lie

or at least cause a STIR with what he could say that would be heresy. I swear 'journalists' like these two in the video deserve to be POOR and unemployed! FUckers.

13. CNBC - Fox News Financial.

Just as bad and sometimes worse than their Murdoch counterparts. A station literally loaded with corporate whores, laissez-fail bootshiners, lackeys & grovelers, mutual admiration society hounds, "screw the poor" jackals, friendly fascists and downright TeaHadist assholes.

14. As I said in another thread, the satanic introduction to the "Town Hall" made Faux look tame

That is a fantastic fact laden thread you composed there. It's a shame I missed it at the time but I'm glad you shared it so I can book mark it and go through it properly when I have the time.
