President Barack Obama is “a pragmatic centrist,” Norah O’Donnell, NBC News reporter/MSNBC chief Washington correspondent, insisted Friday night on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, though not even Maher bought the claim Obama is a centrist. O’Donnell noted “they're trying to make inroads” into the business community with outreach to it as evidenced by hiring Bill Daley and speaking to the Chamber of Commerce, but she contended “other than that tonal switch, he's still the same centrist he’s always been.”
Maher countered: “But he's not really. If you woke him up in the middle of the night, of if you gave him sodium pentothal, I think he’s a centrist the way he’s a Christian – not really.” O’Donnell pleaded: “Don't you think it's a pragmatist?” To which, Maher recognized: “Yes, that’s different, he’s pretending to be a centrist.”
From the Friday night, February 11 Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO:

Norah is a blithering Bimbo.
This is the same silly twit who thought it was racist of Gingrich to mention that Obama plays basketball. Her type of “journalism” doesn’t rise to the maturity level of a High School newspaper, let alone a national news organization. It’s frightening to consider that there are some people who rely on this kind of dumb reporter for “news”.
Is this for real??
Hey Bill....while you are at it...ask about the long form BC....school records....passport to Indonesia....selective service registration....among other interesting questions...
He is a centrist - dead center between national socialism and soviet socialism.
Norah is a blithering Bimbo.
+++++
I only wish I could add the sound of her ANNOYING CACKLE LAUGH here !!
He admitted he was a socialist.
These nobama-smoochers are continuing to be shameless and America-hating. What’s new?
Norah O’Donnell would have been a perfect fit for Pravda in its heyday...
She’s perfected her “telling the big lie” skillz...
Unfortunately, leftists pick forums in which they can’t be challenged in which to spout nonsense like this.
All it takes, though, when you’re faced with a nonsense statement like this in your everyday life, is to ask the leftist to define the terms.
So, lefty, what kind of actions and beliefs would you characterize as “left wing”, then, if 0bama is a “centrist”?
In other words, if her WERE a Marxist, how would he be acting differently?
If there is one thing I would differ with you on it's that the old USSR wasn't far enough left for them.
Liberalism has all the earmarks of a cult following, a religion, where the dear leader should be viewed, treated, and worshiped as an actual god.
Maher is providing an educational service, believe it or not
Is this for real??
Yes, and I think it's interesting that she didn't counter that little bombshell.
Centrist? Did she somehow not notice where Obama ranked in the Senate, i.e. to the left of Bernie Sanders? Does she really not know that? She is either ignorant or lying and, in either case, has nothing to say to anyone.
she must be good in bed cause she sucks at the rest of life
