'if he fails or fumbles...make or break trip to europe....one small mistake on the world stage'

[spanone]

this horseshit from the media pisses me off. it's not a fucking make or break trip.

cnn reporting that this trip is to refute the perception that obama is weak on foreign policy...BULLSHIT

ranting on the obama media coverage

1. I guess they missed the video of him sinking a three pointer from downtown

he shoots he scores. Obama 1, McSame 0

[jkshaw]

8. NightWatcher, it was a beautiful shot,

but for a basketball ignoramus, what makes it a three pointer?

Just curious.

[Muttocracy]

9. out along that outer semicircle line, i.e., far from basket. it was his first shot too :)

[spanone]

20. i just saw that...it was a great shot

[TankLV]

16. umm - yes - yes they did - because I've been watching off and on all day and never saw it

and wouldn't have known about it if I didn't visit here tonite...

[ColbertWatcher]

21. You wouldn't happen to have a link to this, would you? n/t

[babylonsister]

2. They are so hoping he screws up; recall McSame when he confused

Sunni and Shia. He never got this level of scrutiny. So Obama just needs to keep doing what he's doing, claim it's a fact-finding mission and an introduction. Works for me.

3. This is why I don't even watch/read that crap. I get my news from other sources

[annabanana]

4. Maybe that's why all three Network anchors are there with him...

to make sure there aren't too many cheering crowd shots unless there's a whopping dose of
"did he blink once too often in the sunlight?"
"was the Prime Minister's tie color an intentional snub and does this spell trouble for his campaign"?

[spanone]

5. but we know it's because he's the biggest political story since JFK

[EFerrari]

6. Of course they're going to try that. But don't worry.

He'll be fine. As soon as he shows up, people listen to him and like him.

He's got the rare quality that politicians would sell their moms for -- real charisma.

He'll be okay. :hi:

[spanone]

7. i know you're right, i just hate the way they frame it.....

:bounce:

[EFerrari]

11. Oh, I know. I could gratefully EAT them and I'm a vegetarian.

lol

:)

[ladjf]

10. It seems to me that Obama is not a "gaffe prone" politician.

I don't know why the media continues to harp on it.

[spanone]

12. they're trying to create controversy where none exists

[EFerrari]

13. What else do they have to make a nickel?

Nothing.

So, they become writers of fiction.

[loveable liberal]

14. just because the media is used to watching idiots now...

doesnt mean obama is going to trip up. Gobama! Media, if you want lies and errors, go watch yer buddy Bush. Drunken, coked up, awol idiot.

[gratuitous]

15. Yeah, like what if he gives Angela Merkel a sudden, unwanted massage?

Boy, we'd have him then boy! What a gaffe that would be.

[ColbertWatcher]

17. If you look at the pics in this thread...

...http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3646768&mesg_id=3646768

it looks like the media is down 1.

[spanone]

18. i hope the world showers love all over him....they gotta love the change from the idiot son of an...

asshole

19. After airbrushing the blunders of Preznit McBackrub for 8 years. Bah.
