I wonder how many of them will ask about Obama telling Patterson not to run for Gov. of NY???

Naaa that would be racist.

[Alas Babylon!]

The Sunday Talk Show thread is up. YOU LIE is on all but FNS!

[MNJohnnie]

That is the ticket 0, keep talking. This massive “health care” PR blitz is working so well for you.

Opposition to Health Care Plan Hits New High of 56%

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Morning, AB, thanks again for the thread!

What a stunning diversity on the guest lists today.

[animal172]

At least I can watch Fox and not have to look at The One.

[MNJohnnie]

1st question.

Mr President, you have stated that you do not believe the opposition to you is based on race. Do you not think, as President of all Americans, you have an obligation to publicly rebuke those in your own party who are pushing these fraudulent accusations of racism?

[mware]

Good question but ain't going to happen.

My guess who will be the hardest interviewer, George Stuffanoctopus.

[TomGuy]

Dems find what Obama wants on healthcare still anything but clear (Hussein has no plan)

TomGuy to Libloather


the president’s message was still muddled

He has given about 29 major speeches on health care insurance reform, and he still can't give a clear, concise message -- even with a teleprompter and a staff of advisers and speech writers.

tsk tsk tsk

[Causes one to wonder what the actual value of an Affirmative Action Harvard education is.]

[mware]

Fox is actually going to get the best interview. with the CEO of Acorn. Chris is in no mood to coddle anyone.

[Laverne]

CNN explaining how they were called by the WH for this interview. Explaining all the rules under which they had to abide to interview the President. They didn’t say they were limited to a set of questions, that they had to provide in advance of the interview. It wouldn’t surprise me if indeed the President mandated that as well.

Five Sunday show appearances, and I would bet we learn NOTHING new, and I would bet the same questions were asked by each individual who interviewed him.

The WH apparently is claiming that Fox didn’t get an interview because they didn’t carry him joint session speech. What a baby — Wallace is correct. If the dear Leader can’t get everyone to bow and cowtow to him, he will shun them. Could you imagine if Bush had done that, he would never have appeared on any network.

[Vaquero]

for the tiny bit of information these pun-idiots (most, not all) have to offer me....I will wait for the readers digest version either here or on Fox news tomorrow...

(I really need to stop yelling at the screen...at least thats my wife beef.)

[RetroSexual]

Fox is actually going to get the best interview. with the CEO of Acorn. Chris is in no mood to coddle anyone.

FOX has four presidents! The other guys only have one, and not even a good one. LOL

[chuck_the_tv_out]

Right. Hey everyone look at the hard Leftist who faked everyone out with “uniter” garbage.

[Girlene]

LOL....Maybe Chris Wallace will restart the “Obama Watch” with the obvious snub by obama. The interview with the ACORN leader sounds promising!

[TomGuy]

Chris is in no mood to coddle anyone.

Maybe Glen Beck is having significant influence 'within'.

He did more real investigative journalism during his short tenure with FoxNews than most journalists from all of the other news bureaus combined.

When someone as prominent as Charlie Gibson, ABC Nightly News anchor, says he knew nothing about thousands upon thousands marching on Washington, he is ignorant or lying.

Most news bureaus and most of their members have become PR representatives, rather than journalists. Beck is correct -- they have become the fringe media. Maybe some will be embarrassed enough to try to be real journalists.

[jslade]

This purple-lipped, nose warted usurper makes me hurl. Fox is it this morning. And thanks for the thread.

[TomGuy]

The WH apparently is claiming that Fox didn’t get an interview because they didn’t carry him joint session speech.

Except that FoxNews did carry them. It was the FOX channel that didn't.

That would be about as silly as penalizing NBC Universal because the speech wasn't covered on SyFy.

It is a convenient excuse.

[traderrob6]

Very true...

[mware]

Actually I am thankful that Chris ( I have been no fan of his to be honest) let the secret out of the bag, that he has been getting calls from Obama's people complaining about his guests and interviews.

It is a lot easier to figure out why all the other networks have been kissing @ss.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Morning all. Thanks for the ping Alas.

Breakfast time!

[Diogenesis]

The question which will never be asked:

"Mr. pRES_ _ENT, after Gov. Paterson reasonably ordered a review of ACORN,
you then demanded he drop his campaign for Governor.
Are you racist, against blind people, or just covering up another crime?"

---

STIMULUS:

“N.Y. Governor Orders Review of ACORN Contracts
New York Gov. David Paterson ordered state agencies Friday to put a 30-day hold on
contracts with the community organizing group ACORN and its affiliate, New York Agency for Community Affairs.
In a memo, the Budget Division cited Paterson's "continued efforts to ensure fiscal
accountability and integrity," directing the agencies to report "any potential issues."

In Washington, the House and Senate separately voted this week to deny all federal funds
for ACORN in a GOP-led strike against the liberal-leaning group, which was accused last year of submitting some false voter registration forms in a massive voter-registration drive.”

---

RESPONSE:

NY Times: Obama wants Paterson to drop campaign for NY governor
The Times, citing sources, said Obama is concerned that "Mr. Paterson cannot recover from his dismal political standing."
According to the Times report, the decision to ask Paterson to step aside was proposed by political advisors to Obama,
but approved by the president himself .”

“Obama Gives Up On Paterson
Has Obama asked beleaguered and unpopular NY Governor David Paterson to drop out of the race to keep his seat?
That's what the New York Times is reporting. If true, this is fairly extraordinary. It's
highly unusual for a president to step in and tell a governor who is not facing something
like a crippling scandal or imminent indictment that his time is up. And when it's the first
black president telling one of only two black governors to clear the way for someone
else...that definitely falls into the category of Stories You Never Expected To Read.”

I understand that all of the interviews with Zippy were done on Friday. Plenty of time to slice and dice and edit out anything the WH doesn’t like. Must see TV..NOT!

[Chief901]

Hey, You forgot to list the New Sunday Morning Talk Show and Powerhouse, UniVision with guess who?

Thats right, Obama

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

You folks see this one:
Brezinski Calls for Obama to Shoot Down Israeli Jets; “A Liberty in Reverse” “ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2343944/posts “

[Laverne]

I know Tom, it is just laughable what a bunch of babies there are in the WH. Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Truth be known: Obama is afraid of Fox News. He knows the others will work with him to create the message Obama wants delivered — he also knows that Fox will NOT play that game. It’s his way or the highway, which is why the lack of respect for the MSM (fringe media thanks Beck) has.

The news anchor of ABC doesn’t have a clue about current events; Wolf Blitzer zapped on Jeapordy; Brian Williams bows to the President of the US. I wouldn’t believe a word I heard from anyone of them. They are lapdogs for Obama. I won’t watch any of the interviews, but will watch Fox and Reliable Sources.

[mware]

God help our nation if we turn our backs on Israel.

[ThreePuttinDude]

I’m in the beginning stages of making an item that
will allow you to take aim at the TV without doing
damage to the set itself. After I have the prototype
completed, I’ll show it off here...

I’ve been thinking about this since 11-05-2008

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

What Brezinski is proposing is not exactly turning our backs, more like turning our coats.

[mware]

After I typed it and posted I realized what we would be doing is far worse then turning our back. We would actually be committing an act of war against them.

[Miss Didi]

Good Morning, FRiends! Wow, Alas...this thread must have been a snap. Copy, paste, copy, paste. ;)

[ThreePuttinDude]

[PA-RIVER]

Stuffulocrapulus is rooting for the communist.

[Bahbah]

I won’t watch any of the interviews, but will watch Fox and Reliable Sources.

Excellent plan, Laverne. I shall adopt it. I will not watch him on any of these scripted "interviews." He will continue to lie about "his plan." I've had quite enough of that.

I saw a brief clip of one of them. He essentially calls some number of Americans racists. I loath him for that and always will.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

looks like the values voters are sticking with the Huck!

[Laverne]

Kurtz was on CNN this morning, prior to his own show, stating that the Pres is making a mistake by doing all the nets and ignoring Fox. Over exposure.

[A.Hun]

Good morning AB, thanks for the ping.

[mware]

I’m watching Cash In The Attic. I have to leave for Mass in 15 minutes anyway.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I suppose somebody should monitor the Exalted One, but that will not be me, not this time! The time of men is not passed!

[Miss Didi]

For those who missed the FNC newspaper ad:

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

And boy, did he ever trash the march to Washington.

[9YearLurker]

I think we could have expected Huck and maybe Palin to be tops with this group—and Palin is the only one of the five vote leaders not to have shown there.

Pawlenty probably only made the second tier on the strength of his speech—but I expect him to keep coming on strong, as he fits that successful profile of the relatively unknown, smooth, young governor from a small state.

This wasn’t, and wasn’t expected to be, Romney’s crowd at all. If Pawlenty does become more of a factor, I expect him to take votes from Huck and Palin. I actually think this poll could be Huck’s high-water mark for 2012, and by the full primary season it could be down to Mitt, Pawlenty and Palin.

[mware]

I wonder if anyone is going to bother to ask Obama about his support of repealing DOMA?

"The introduction of the Respect for Marriage Act responds directly to a call from President Obama for congressional action on the issue. As the president recently confirmed: 'I stand by my long-standing commitment to work with Congress to repeal the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. It's discriminatory, it interferes with states' rights, and it's time we overturned it," the statement said.

[Jack Bull]

Obama over exposed:

I actually think this poll could be Huck’s high-water mark for 2012

I sincerely hope so.

AB, as always, thanks for posting this.
