1. Because we'd rather listen to them talk about what he's saying than hear him actually say it . . . |

3. Yup ... that's what happened on both channels ... the second he mentioned tax increase for rich ... |
|
MSNBC cut away. I switch to CNN, and they'd already cut away.
Now both are discussing 9/11.

4. Republicans are still living in Bizarroville... |
|
When BushCo was POTUS, he always said the opposite of what he did. I guess after eight long years of being on the other side of the looking glass, they just can't stop themselves. We will always hear the exact opposite of what Obama has done.
Brush off that mirror we used to decipher the GOP code... its time has come again.

15. Full quote: 'Im asking all of you to lift up your voices. I want you to call, I want you to email.. |
|
"I'm asking all of you to lift up your voices," he said. "I want you to call, I want you to email, I want you to tweet, I want you to fax, I want you to visit, I want you to Facebook, send a carrier pigeon, I want you to tell your congressperson the time for gridlock and games is over, the time for action is now." http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=14479675

14. It's the same speech he gave on TV last night, right? And he'll give it again in Ohio? |
|
I don't think they normally follow anyone around, incl. the Prez, and show him giving the same speech over and over. They usu. say where he's giving the speech, and show the place where it is or will be, and at most show a few lines of it, if that.
But it might be aired in full on Cspan. And I think it's being taped by major networks...in case anything eventful happens, they'll have the tape.

16. It wasn't the same speech |
|
It was on the same topic.
And here on DU, and in the liberal media, we hear the demand for "Bull pulpit!"
And when he does it ... they cut away.
Today reminded me of back during the Weiner scandle, how Obama gave a speech on green jobs in a mid US state. Obama talked "jobs, jobs, jobs".
That night on Ed Schultz, he mentions Obama gave a speech, shows no clips, quotes no lines from it, covers it for about 30 seconds, and then spends 15 minutes on Anthony Weiner's dick.
Then later in the show, Ed screams that Obama isn't talking enough about jobs for 10 minutes.
