Mitchell Hails Success of 'Obama Doctrine,' Palin's Wallace-Like Appeal 'Does Frighten Me'
Newsbusters.org ^ | 12-27-2009 | Brent Baker

As the lone journalist on Sunday's Meet the Press roundtable (with Newt Gingrich, Michael Bloomberg and Deval Patrick), NBC's Andrea Mitchell insisted the “Obama Doctrine” has “borne fruit,” but “it is not perceived yet” -- though the President has already “united the world behind the United States.”

Citing all those who “camped out” for the Sarah Palin book signings, Mitchell denigrated her appeal as evidence of how “they are so hungry for a symbol for anyone who can give them answers” it shows “there's an anger out there” she hasn't seen since George Wallace in 1968. And that, she maintained, “is the angry populism which is not fact-based, it's just furious at everybody; angry at Democrats, at Republicans.” (Apparently, favoring conservative policies and rejecting liberal big government spending is “not fact-based.”)

Ruing “the tea party has higher numbers in our last NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll than either of the other traditional parties,” Mitchell, NBC's chief foreign affairs correspondent and host of MSNBC's weekday 1 PM EST hour, declared that “does frighten me.” While she acknowledged “this spirit of America is so large and embracing,” she feared “there is an angry subtext because of economic dislocation that is very, very worrisome.”

"NBC's Andrea Mitchell insisted the “Obama Doctrine” has “borne fruit,” but “it is not perceived yet” -- though the President has already “united the world behind the United States.”"

Is she on some kind of drugs? What in the world is she talking about?

And that, she maintained, “is the angry populism which is not fact-based, it's just furious at everybody; angry at Democrats, at Republicans.”

Dam just think what things will be like in November. What a clueless bunch of dolts, they had better get out of the belt way and see what is going on (facts) or they will be hit like a ton of bricks come November.

NBC’s Andrea Mitchell insisted the “Obama Doctrine” has “borne fruit,” but “it is not perceived yet” — MMM...NOT PRECIEVED YET??? IT MAY BE TO FAR REACHING FOR US COMMON FOLK TO UNDERSTAND
though the President has already “united the world behind the United States.”
WE CAN SEE THIS FROM COPENHAGEN, YOU LIE!
Mitchell “there’s an anger out there” she hasn’t seen since George Wallace in 1968. SHE DELIBERATLEY MENTIONS WALLCE TO DRIVE A WEDGE OF RACISM INTO THE ARENA And that, she maintained, “is the angry populism which is not fact-based.
JOURNALISM IS FACT BASED MISSY, AND YOU ARE NOT! YOU LIE AGAIN!

“there is an angry subtext because of economic dislocation that is very, very worrisome.”

Poor thing has it all wrong.

There is an angry MAJORITY because of the lack of accountability of our elected officials, the lack of representation of over HALF of our LEGAL citizens, the lack of concern for the safety and well being of We the People from another terrorist attack and the steady march towards socialism/communism that seems to be gaining speed on ALL fronts.

Go ahead dumba$$ and keep blaming the economy. Keep getting it wrong.

From her wiki entry: Mitchell graduated with a B.A. in English literature from the University of Pennsylvania in 1967, where she served as News Director of student radio station WXPN. She joined Philadelphia then-NBC affiliate KYW radio and KYW-TV as a reporter that same year...

Unless she was covering presidential campaigns her first year out of college she has NO professional memory of the Wallace campaign.

So, she's not even a good liar.

Actually this was the quote I was looking for from Bloomberg:

Instead, we talk about other things, some laudable, some desperately that we have to do. And I will say, I’ve given the president a lot of credit for taking on the issue; but it’s Congress that’s writing this legislation, and they are not willing to go near the things that will contain costs, which is immigration reform, tort reform, asking the question of whether or not we can afford certain tests and whether they really are cost-beneficial.

How he ties immigration reform (basically opening the gates) with keeping down costs of health care is beyond me.

Bloomberg's other quote (that you agreed with) is a dodge. That's not the hot button issue that immigration reform is. He lumps them all together and uses the broad brush to hide his real intent - giving illegals (of which there must hundreds of thousands in NY city) a path to citizenship. That is something he has espoused in the past.

PHILADELPHIA — The economy of the country's largest city and the entire nation would collapse if illegal immigrants were deported en masse, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told a Senate committee hearing Wednesday.

New York City is home to more than 3 million immigrants, and a half-million of them came to this country illegally, Bloomberg testified.
From here....

Excellent!
We want the radical left wing lunatics like Andrea Mitchel to continue to have nightmares every night, and wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, over the specter of a very angry American populace, led by the Tea Parties, descending on Washington, and sweeping the criminal gang of Reid, Pelosi and 0bozo out of power, and then lining them up for trial for crimes against humanity, before sending them to hell where they belong.

Are Andrea Mitchell and Dana Bash related, or separated at birth by 100 years?

There are some things that should be dangling at the end of a rope.

Every time an ignorant Leftist opens their mouth, that list gets longer and longer.

I suppose that Andrea thinks she isn't a partisan Media Hack, huh?

Typical Obama Sycophant with her own daily show. How quaint.

Poor Andrea! She apparently has some form of paranoia perhaps the type that involves some forms of dementia.

She’s also stuck in the 60’s. Very sad.

The conservative tea party movement is more than a subtext Andrea. It is a force not to be reckoned with.

When did the economy turn around? I must have missed it. My town has a reported unemployment of 10.2%, and that does not count those that have given up looking for jobs. The only ones I see enjoying this economy are on vacation in Hawaii.

So the person who adores George Soros does not like Palin. Mitchell is a certifiewd idiot. Sarah Palin can wear her indictment like a badge of honor.

As Rush said about the Rep from the district adjacent to mine, the execrable Debbie Wasserman Schultz, “She’s one of those women you’re glad married somebody else.”

"Is she on some kind of drugs? What in the world is she talking about?"

She's obviously talking about how the Great 0bama has the world so “united behind the United States.” that the moment 0bozo showed up in Copenhagen, the “world” immediately voted for 0bozo’s Chicago homeland to hold the Olympics games.
Oh wait...the world actually humiliated the Narcissist in Chief by voting Chicago OUT in the very first round.
