NBC Host: Obama On The Verge ‘Of Doing Jimmy Carter-Like Damage’ To The Democratic Party
The Daily Caller ^ | 10 Sep 2014 | Al Weaver

Posted on 09/10/2014 11:46:35 AM PDT by mandaladon

Meet The Press moderator Chuck Todd said Wednesday that President Barack Obama is “on the precipice of doing Jimmy Carter-like damage to the [Democratic] Party.” Todd’s remarks, made on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” came ahead of Obama’s Wednesday night address to the nation about the dangers of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Obama’s weakness on ISIS thus far, Todd explained, has done some real damage to the president’s approval rating.

“It’s not just him. It actually is impacting the entire Democratic Party,” Todd said. “We did some issue testing between who better handles which issues: Democrats or Republicans? Took out Obama. Republicans lead by 38 points on the issue of ensuring a strong national defense. 38! He’s on the precipice of doing Jimmy Carter-like damage to Democratic brand on foreign policy, if he’s not careful.”

But in this case, Todd continued, Obama’s “not trying to rally the nation. The nation’s wanting him to come to his side. So he’s in an easy moment if he can step up on something he said he doesn’t like doing, which is the theater of the presidency. He needs to have a strong performance in the theater of the presidency tonight, because the country seems to be demanding it, they’re almost, they’re begging him.”

“And the moment is these beheadings,” Todd emphasized. “One of the things that we found in this poll. Think about all the controversial stories we’ve covered in the last five years. This is the single most-followed story in the past five years.”

Jimmy Carter did extreme damage to the RATS because there was an alternative they could vote for.

Who does the GOPe have as an option to be Bambi’s successor?

“On the verge?” PFFFFT! Puhleeze.

That “Verge” left the station a long time ago. It’s the mediabots and dumbazz libs who are just now getting a small clue.

Yep...just like the Carter years,,,x100!

Because Todd and the rest of the MSM will give him such a HUGE PASS if he’ll just have a strong performance.

Obama was on the verge on January 18, 2009.

Obama's a clueless jackass who's never had a thought as deep as his wife's footprints.

That's giving him an awful lot of credit. Have you seen Moochelle lately? She's really been hitting the doughnuts.

Chuck Todd

How many minutes have you, your organization or any of the MSM given to Fast and Furious Gun Running scandal?

How many minutes have you, your organization or any of the MSM given to Benghazi scandal?

How many minutes have you, your organization or any of the MSM given to IRS scandal?

How many minutes have you, your organization or any of the MSM given to V.A. scandal?

The ONLY reason the beheadings have taken a toll on Nero is because your Organization has run that story constantly since it happened. NOT because it was some national earth shaking event, but rather because it was a journalist. PERIOD.

Had the Press thought ahead of time the amount of damage that would have done to the President and the Demonrats they would have swept it under the rug along with all the others.

Tomorrow's talking points will read: "Nero Stands tall, His words brought the nation together in his short but direct speech, showing conviction, determination and resolute. Determined to overcome we will be Victorious". I will then go puke.

Isn’t it amazing how far a Demoncrat can go toward destroying everything for everyone before anyone on his side says he’s on the “verge” of causing a problem... and even THEN it’s...for the party?

That happens in spoken English; when talking you can’t/don’t go back and delete the word you regret having put in the sentence.
