Chuck Todd pushing "Democrats abandoning Obama" myth on NBC.
Todd was pushing the idea that Democrats and liberals are completely abandoning him by just saying it and showing clips of two people at Obama's event in Iowa who are somewhat disappointed in him. That doesn't prove anything, Chuck. Brian Williams helped to push the idea at the top of the report, too. Obama has a 83% approval rating among liberal Democrats, 78% from Democrats overall, and 70% from liberals overall. This is shoddy journalism to just show clips from disappointed Obama voters, with no mention of those numbers or clips of Obama supporters.

This makes me angry. The liberal media is a complete lie.

1. They have a big job - making the GOP field competitive.
They'll be pushing all the negatives against the President they can so they can earn those GE paychecks.

3. chuck toad is a complete moran. As you stated most liberals will vote for Obama, and I suspect most
independents will also with the republicans currently running

4. Chuck Toad must be fattening his
resume for when Matt Laurer leaves NBC and thinks he can get the job.

5. Are they using the tracking poll numbers. 39% 41%???
The polls would reflect dropping off of Dems.

There is time for Obama to recover but he needs
to spend some quiet time and determine where
he stands on issues.
