The Cable Bobbleheads have spoken. .All success is because of BUSH..

[annabanana]

Obama couldn't have made this speech without the "surge"... This is the culmination of all the plans put in place by the Bush administration....

These partisans shouldered their way onto the air, pushing their faces in front of the President's saying over and over that none of it is Obama's doing.... none of it can be attributed to the fierce determination of Americans who have been fighting tooth and nail against this conflict from day one. . .

GAH!!

1. It really is sickening isn't it. I'm so fed up with the punditry trying to boost ratings

Controversy makes people watch so they keep trying to create it!

[annabanana]

2. It appears to me that they were issued marching orders BEFORE

the speech aired...

[monmouth]

3. And actually, people get turned off, like me, and go to C-SPAN..n/t

[stillcool]

4. It has nothing to do with ratings..

and everything to do with creating/managing perception.
