Amanpour Rues Lack of Appreciation for Obama’s ‘Amazing’ Achievements
NewsBusters ^ | 09/27/2010 | Brent Baker

Posted on 09/27/2010 7:13:10 AM PDT by SanFranDan

Interviewing David Axelrod on Sunday’s This Week, Christiane Amanpour asked him to explain why “people don't appreciate some of the amazing legislative agenda” that President Barack Obama has “accomplished,” then with Senator Mitch McConnell she denigrated Republican Senate candidates who are Tea Party favorites:

“Are you not afraid that their somewhat, one would say, some might say bizarre statements, their sort of fringe quality might actually turn people off?” She also condescendingly demanded of McConnell:

“What is Christine O'Donnell's qualification for actually governing? What is Sharron Angle's actual qualification for governing?”

In a third segment, she cued up Jordan’s Queen Rania to confirm “Islamophobia” mars America: “You've seen the reaction and the fallout from the Islamic center, but it goes broader than that. Do you see a sort of a dangerous Islamophobia in the United States?”

While she repeatedly pushed Axelrod about why Democrats were delaying a vote on extending the Bush tax cuts for “the middle class,” with McConnell she tried to discredit extending the tax rates for everyone, childishly describing how “there's also this huge thing that the people of the United States are worried about, and that is the deficit, and keeping the tax cuts will add trillions to that.”

People do appreciate the amazing legislative agenda. That’s what defines him. That explains his amazing lack of popularity.

Amanpour is another of CNN’s resident Muslims on radical display.

If I hear one more person complain about COD’s past idiosyncrasies, I will puke.

From now on my standard reply is : “I have more trust in her judgment, that in the judgment of someone who voted for Obama in 2008.”

"... the deficit, and keeping the tax cuts will add trillions to that.”

Conservatives need to call them on this. This an ideological opinion, and it is not supported by historical or economic fact.

First, deficits are caused by too much spending. Anyone who cares about the deficit should be arguing for decreased spending. If you are not campaigning against spending, then you must not be concerned about the deficit.

Second, based on solid historical data, if you want revenue to increase, you should cut taxes. The evidence is clear. People who want high taxes (in the name of fairness) have made a choice that increased government revenue is not important to them.

This notion tax cuts add to the deficit is simply leftwing propaganda, and nothing more. The news business exposes itself when it trots out this lie.

Pretty much.
And an Ahmajinedad supporting, Iranian terrorist supporter to boot. She'd be better off openly working for her Al Qaeda masters, instead of pushing their Al Queda agenda under cover. Why the heck do GOP congressmen even bother to appear before fools like this anti-American witch anyways?

Someone throw a burqua over this whore and give her a good beating with a cane no bigger around than your thumb. Then stick her in a harem full of masochistic morons and eunuchs just like her for some half-blind old sheik.

Amanpour Rues Lack of Appreciation for Obummer`s ‘Amazing’ Achievements in Legerdemain

The media is cheerleading for obama about his amazing legislative agenda.
Repubs are in the minority and cannot stop the dims from passing anything.
The multi thousand page bills were passed with no one in congress having read them or even knew what was contained in them.
Pelosi and reid had to bribe Democrats to vote for this crap.
obama’s only contribution to all this garbage is his rubber stamp to a marxist congress.

Morons.

Have you seen the charming painting Christiane displays in her dining room while her elite guests gobble their oysters and caviar? She bought it in her beloved Iran. Would make you gag.

Amanpour wins the MSM 'suck up' of the week award. With so many in the press competing for this prize, the honor which some call dubious, is in fact disgraceful.
