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.”

I'm not saying it isn't, nor am I saying it has anything to do with so-called health care reform. But, the statement in and of itself is accurate - it is stupid to invite a bright mind to the US to be educated for 4 to 10 years, then to kick him/her out as soon as they graduate and their student visa expires. It's silly and not very far-sighted. America needs that intellectual talent to move forward into this century.
The only thing that is keeping America afloat right now is our ingenuity and leadership position in the technological, medical and other scientific/engineering fields. The moment we lose that competitive advantage, we're become another also-ran country, with no possibility of digging ourselves out from under this mountain of debt.
Ok ho do we contact this moronic bitch ?
Damn right Mrs. Palin frightens you Andrea. Even you can stick your nose in the wind and find out which way it’s blowing. Get ouside the beltway Andrea, the folks are not buying your stuff anymore.
Sarah should have autographed it and handed it back. That’d piss Andrea off more.
I think that the media left just does not want to see the most powerful white woman in America be a republican, living in the White House with her Eskimo husband and children.
What that has to do with Democrat Governor George Wallace, I do not understand.
Mitchell smokes crack and seriously needs to put down the crack pipe and turn her dealer in.....
Andrea is a JINO kapo

George Wallace? Propagandist b!tch! Comparing Palin to a racist like Wallace? Completely out of touch with America. The recession, health care, cap and trade will NEVER have any effect on her or her cronies in the drive by media. STFU Andrea!
“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.”
Injecting racism is most definitely the intention, as if the anger couldn’t possibly be about anything else. She makes me sick. If Obama were a conservative would the press love him and support him just because he’s black?
Big maybe.
It's one thing to criticize these politicians, but it's quite another thing to call in an assassin to kill one.
Andrea should be picked up before she tries this again.
Ms Mitchell should worry about this turning into a "William Wallace" movement.
Isn't that what got zero elected?
It’s easy to think the economy is fine when your husband’s a multimillionaire.
So people who believe in and speak the words of our Founding Fathers "frighten" her, but the success of Socialism and the Communist principles we fought for over 40 years make her happy. This woman is insane!
I think we know who we are angry at, *itch and I guarantee you we have more facts than you do, bigot!
During an appearance on MSNBC on June 5, 2008, Mitchell came under fire when she referred to the voters of the southwest Virginia region as rednecks
Married to part of the problem with the U. S. economy, Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States from 1987 to 2006.
Greenspan's policies of adjusting interest rates to historic lows contributed to a housing bubble in the US.
In a speech in February 2004, Greenspan suggested that more homeowners should consider taking out Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) where the interest rate adjusts itself to the current interest in the market
