So far positive news for Obama on Hardball.

[Drunken Irishman]

Even Andrea Mitchell is being pretty positive, saying he looks confident talking about the war and military.

[polichick]

1. She calls his confidence "an interesting take." Sigh.

[Drunken Irishman]

4. Better than "he looks lost and confused!"

:D

[polichick]

6. True - but does she really think military guys should set the mission?

[snowbear]

2. Andrea Mitchell actually said she's been ...."extremely impressed with Obama"

.....

[ellacott]

3. She did?

Wow indeed.

[polichick]

5. Wasn't she only impressed with his "audacity" to be confident?

[Eurobabe]

7. I fell out of bed when I heard that one

Who woulda thunk it!! :shrug:

[snowbear]

8. It's actually Howard Fineman that's being critical..

"Obama needs to watch coming off too presidential"

And you know Howard..

When he's on Countdown later, he'll have a completely opposite spin..

10. no worry there

since being presidential these days means looking like a baffoon

[VADem11]

11. WTF?

Too presidential? Um, the guy is a candidate for President of the United States. We want him to look Presidential.

9. Er. Mrs. Greenspan called him "cocky". Fuck her.

[LSparkle]

12. She was trying to create a "controversy" out of the presser today

saying that Obama "wouldn't follow" the advice of the commanders
on the ground, but would only "consider" their advice. OMG -- a
CIC who HAS INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT and can MAKE HIS OWN DECISIONS,
as opposed to just going blindly along with what the generals
tell him? Well, ah nevah!!!!

13. Not so on the next program with David Gregary.

Gregary even said that Obama had a "messiah" image going into the middle east.

They are tearing him apart on what he is saying. :grr:
