I Hate To Say This But Listening To Gibbs On Ed's & Keith's Shows Tonight......
it seems to me that the WH is in over their heads. He's making them sound like rookies when it comes to politics. That's why I laugh when the Repugs say that the WH is playing Chicago style politics. No way. If Mass was Illinois - we would have won that Semate seat.

I'm now on board with getting rid of Rahm. He's supposed to be a Chicago style politician and he's coming off like he doesn't know what he's doing or even understanding what is going on.

If I were Obama right now - I'd be real pissed.

I'm losing hope.

1. If the President is not pissed, he has not been paying attention.

3. You do realize that "Rec" means that "This is one of the best Posts on DU" right?
Edited on Wed Jan-20-10 08:22 PM by SemiCharmedQuark
I don't think there are many 5 line posts about a specific TV show that fit that description.

10. You do understand that there is one person (or maybe several people)
who simply like to see posts such as yours. That's why they do it.

4. Fake "tough guy" Emanuel is the one that's in over his head
Plus he really isn't very tough.

He talks big when it comes to shoving around some "liberal" who he knows is too polite or too nice to shove back but you never hear a peep out of him when it comes to dealing with some utterly stupid wing nut pretend dem like Nelson, Lincoln or Loserman.

I don't know where he got this reputation for playing "hardball" politics.

Obama is either too naive to see what's going on, too nice to do what he knows is necessary, or he made a deal with the devil to get support of the "Democrat" Losers Council.

6. Rahm and his father, Zeke are both criminals.... so I'd be pissed too
In fact, Rahm's a criminal wanna be.

I screamed at the television during that press secretary two step shuffel. It was OBVIOUS that they did not know how to take Ed's comment.

News Flash to the Obama Administration: Ed's comment was MY comment, and in fact represents the MAJORITY of Americans comments.

This is bullshit. I'm both screaming mad and fed up. You they think MA is a "wake-up" call?

Hmmmm???

7. It's like theyre trying to make the President unpoplular??
More "rookie" decisions are hard to comprehend with these experienced politians.

13. I was thinking about the people who spoke for Bush
for the last 8 years while Gibbs talked, everyone of them knew how to control a conversation and not let us kick them no matter what they did. Why can't we find 1 spokesperson like that?
