CNN's Jack Cafferty On Obama: ‘He Lied!’
Mediaite ^ | 1-20-10

Posted on 01/20/2010 7:49:02 AM PST by My Favorite Headache

CNN’s Jack Cafferty carved out at a unique spot for himself during the Bush administration –while the rest of his network peers stayed away from the opinion media fray, Cafferty was consistently one of Bush’s fiercest critics, and often got labeled “liberal” by Cafferty’s critics. But any expectations that the Obama administration would reveal a kinder and gentler Cafferty have been wrong, evidenced by the following clip:

Much has already been made of Obama’s promise of transparency in negotiating health care reform — its become a robust topic of debate between left and right. Cafferty doesn’t demure when he calls it as he sees it, and actually is pretty harsh in calling the president a liar.

This clip is priceless...Cafferty going after Obama for closed door deals, no C-Span coverage, unions, special interests....calls him out on everything. CNN smells blood in the water.

My favorite comment; frank January 19th, 2010 8:51 pm ET im a teamster in the trucking business and i can assure you my health care plan isnt any where near a cadilac plan with the deductable and copay etc non cadilac plans are far superior to mine.I have had to give back 15 percent pay reduction and a 18 month pension accruel suspension just to keep the company i work for solvent and hopefully maintain a job.if the outcome is to tax my healthcare i would prefer to receive my healthcare preimum in my weekly pay and i will buy my own insurance or have none at all and rely on my county hospital for healthcare

Cafferty’s always stood on the side of the People, not any Party. So of course, everybody hates him.

I think the C-SPAN lie was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Hopefully he's gotten some help with his drinking problem. I hope CNN keeps him. He's the only reason I watch The Situation Room, from time to time.

He is spot-on with his criticism(s) of Obama and the Democrat Congress and his delivery is to-the-point, no-holes-barred.

CNN is really overdoing the Haiti coverage, IMO. Hopefully that doesn't sound too insensitive, but I flipped between FOX, MSNBC and CNN last night around dinner time, several times, over an hour or two period, and only FOX and MSNBC were doing any sort of coverage on the race in Mass.

CNN waited too long to begin their coverage, IMO.

IMO you can’t overdue the Haiti story at all. I thought CNN was dead on with their coverage last night. Both were historic events that shocked the world. But to say Scott’s win last night was more important than keeping a light on 250,000 people dead in the streets in a country in the Caribbean? No. Haiti is going to get so much worse in the next 2 weeks once the diseases start to manifest and spread like wild fire. We might see another 25,000 dead before this is all said and done.

Me neither..but like I said on another thread...Obama has 2 years to clean up his act before he goes on his motivational speaking re-election tour. That is a lot of time in politics.

Finally the libs (except the hemorrhoid lapdog and suck-up with glasses on PMSNBC) are turning on The One? What is going on here? Buyers remorse? Hillary in 2012? I noticed the manly girl last night on MSNBC had to take a shot at Sarah Palin at her Twitter remarks on Scott Brown. Everything is starting to collapse at the ground of the liberals ... AND ... THEY CAN’T STAND IT!!!!

one of the comments... Kamel Tlemsani .... "I personally do not care if the negotiations are held public or private, moreover do not care who needs to be part of the negotiation process as long as the bill pass as universal health care policy to provide decent coverage for all Americans".

That this naive Kool Aid drinker gets to vote is mind numbing.

I happened to catch Jack Cafferty saying this, & I loved it. There are people who only watch CNN, & they needed to hear this.

We have an afternoon talk radio host here in central PA who calls himself a conservative. When you really listen to what this guy says he’s just a loudmouth with some very poorly thought-out position, most of which can be considered liberal. Cafferty has always struck me as being from the same mold. Just a blowhard in love with his own image.

It also has a lot to do with coddling terrorists in a NYC show trial....not calling Colonel Hasan a jihadist terrorist...and bowing to foreign leaders, as well as apologizing for our country’s past deeds.
