Dem Crack Up? Bill Press, Schultz Rip Reid For Calling Obama Weak
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Hot stock tip: ConAgra Foods, makers of . . . Orville Redenbacher's popcorn ;-)

But seriously, shall we sit back and savor an incipient Dem implosion? Drudge has links up about the White House waving the white flag, having a "credibility crisis," and hitting the panic button. This evening's Ed Show gave another hot and salty taste of the Dem meltdown, as Ed ripped Harry Reid for calling Pres. Obama, in Schultz's words, "a big wimp." In a formal TV interview, Reid has accused PBO of being insufficiently "firm" and "forceful," describing him as "a person who doesn't like confrontation."

Lib talker Bill Press also hit Harry, but at the same time effectively agreed with Reid's critique, saying that Obama had been too nice to Republicans and that "nobody in this town is afraid of Pres. Obama." Schultz, meanwhile, accused Reid of being a weak leader.

ed schultz is orange all the time. I know he came from radio, and is sorta stupid and stuff, but he needs a TV consultant that isn't color blind.

Lemme guess. Reid asks Obama if he can diss him to help with his re-election. And the right just sucks it up. You guys need to start thinking a little more critically.

How does it help Reid to have Schultz undermining Harry with the Dem base by accusing him of sucker-punching Obama, and calling Reid a weak leader?

Lib talk show hosts...”It’s what’s for dinner.” Chow down, Libs, but save room for dessert..tonight it’s “Cracker Baby Pie.”

And if there’s one thing that’ll bring out the liberals, it’s the promise of a hot and salty taste.

The dems are just throwing Obama under the bus to help them keep their majority in Congress. In other words don't vote us out since it's all Obama fault?

After mid-terms if they are still in power it's all hugs and kisses

And it’s essentially why Lib talk radio can’t survive in the marketplace. Liberalism is a disease.

He’s not weak - he & his policies are wrong.

He rammed thru & got 95% of everything he has wanted as president so far and it has ruined this nation.

It’s not a matter of weakness.

Reid is a little off in saying that Obama doesn’t like confrontation. Obama doesn’t like to do anything. He likes the trappings and prestige of the Presidency without actually having to do anything.

PresBO doesn’t like confrontation if he’s on the other end. He certainly likes to diss the opposition but is thin skinned (is it racist to say skin?) when it comes back at him.
He certainly loves his own snarky comments.
Why does he even state he needs Republicans? He’s already got 63 Democrats now!

“nobody in this town is afraid of Pres. Obama.”

While I don’t live in DC, I am afraid of Obama.

Bill Press, Schultz Rip Reid For Calling Obama Weak

So, is that what it means to be a democrat? You agree lock, stock & barrel 100% or you're vilified?
