Harwood To 'Whining' Obama Business Critics: 'Man Up!'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

When it comes to picking a moderator for a game of ¿Quien Es Mas Macho?, somehow John Harwood doesn't spring to mind. But there was CNBC's chief Washington correspondent on The Ed Show this evening, twice accusing Pres. Obama's businessmen critics of "whining," and instructing them to "man up."

Schultz set the stage, playing a clip of Mort Zuckerman describing Obama's White House as "the most anti-business administration." Trying to tar Mort with the R-word, Schultz spoke of Zuckerman as having considered a run for Senate from New York "as a Republican." In fact, the Zuck man is a lifelong Dem known for supporting liberal causes. He briefly flirted with an independent or Republican run for Senate as a means of avoiding a Dem primary, but is as much of a Republican as Mike Bloomberg.

Then came Harwood, who wrote off Obama business critics as a bunch of selfish, whining wusses . .

Harwood is the commie wimp, who when discovered cheating on his wife with a politician (female) from either Oregon or Washington, begged and cried to his media acolytes not to print with the story.

“the irony of an 0bama butt boy saying ‘man up.’”

Bingo. And of all Obama butt boys, this especially wimpy one in particular.

From the Post article at the above link:

DC insiders are buzzing that John Harwood, a CNBC Washington correspondent and political writer for the New York Times, has split with his wife, Frankie Blackburn, and has dated Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) According to well-placed sources, Harwood has kept it out of one DC paper by sobbing to a reporter until he agreed to kill the story. When asked repeatedly about the split, Harwood told Page Six, “I don’t feel comfortable talking about my family life.” But he did say the crying part “is absolutely not true.” A Cantwell spokesman in DC had no comment.

I was talking to a senior White House official today who was saying that a lot of this whining is cover for that very personal effect. I got to tell you, you mention what's happened to the Dow. Nobody doubt that the financial system is more stable and better-functioning now than it was when Pres. Obama took office. I find it a little beyond belief the whining that you hear from some of these people who ought to man up.

Well said.
