Luke Russert just said

[impik]

that a republican told him off the record that it was a mistake to do this on camera.

Man, i did not expect this be such a joy.

[Parker CA]

1. Loved that. They definitely regret that whole episode.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

2. Definitely, Random Republican.

I mean, you just got whupped, so, yeah, it would've been better spin PR to keep it off camera.

Oh well. :evilgrin:

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

26. or just get FOX to drop coverage so or trailer dwelling base miss it

oh wait, they did just that, and followed it up with a quick brain washing.

[wicket]

3. AHAHAHA!

[FrenchieCat]

4. It's like he was invited to lunch, and burped on the food before it was served, and they ate it!

Twas brilliant! :applause:

[Jennicut]

5. Well, Republicans are mistakes for democracy anyway...

[eleny]

6. Good catch, Luke

Maybe you aren't a total knucklehead, Luke.

[jenmito]

7. I hope Obama publicly calls for this forum to be held again and televised again...

I bet the Repubs. will "respectfully decline." :rofl:

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

27. OBAMA will have to do it in a VERY VERY public way like calling out a bully

the Bully can't say no or they look like pussy's
I suggest first Sunday of every Month

[joeybee12]

8. FINALLY Luke Russert said something worth something! n/t

[Gidney N Cloyd]

15. Assuming he didn't make it up.

He strikes me as the type who would.

[Blue Owl]

9. Best Friday News Dump Ever

Let allow the GOP to sit in their soiled diapers for awhile.

[Parker CA]

10. So true. MSNBC is playing the best sound bites repeatedly. Excellent way to go into the weekend.

[DrToast]

11. Now Obama can call for more of these and the Republicans can refuse it and look like shit

[ProSense]

12. Are they that stupid. Well,

yes!

Update 3
MSNBC reports that the WH requested the cameras at the last minute. Obama set them up.

:rofl:

[BeyondGeography]

13. Because they've got nothing

Fools.

[RDANGELO]

14. Maybe they will show this on the Sunday morning news shows

instead of the usual talking heads. I'm sure we will at least see some excerpts from it.

[peaches2003]

16. What did they do?

Sorry, I missed it but will watch the link. Did the Repugs sit there like at the SOTU and look like a bunch of grinches?

[AlinPA]

17. The cable "News" will spin it to a huge win by republicans, that Obama was scolded, that Obama

was beaten badly..........

[Clintonista2]

18. Sorry, I've been living under a rock for the past few days

What is this about?

[yourguide]

19. Me too, what's up? n/t

20. Obama addressed the rethug caucus and took questions.

The rethugs made the mistake of letting TV cameras in.

22. Republicans, be careful what you ask for!

I saw most of this exchange, and it was a joy to see! Repubs are always saying the President never listens to them.....well President Obama more than listened, he remembered each part of the question AND responded accordingly. Remember how Bush never allowed follow-up questions....or only five questions at all?....(supposedly because he was such a busy man...and so important)....well President Obama showed us exactly how Presidents SHOULD discuss and debate the issues....and he did it in front of the House Republicans....without notes......and he loved it!.

When someone suggested at one point....should this be the last question....President Obama said, "No...keep going.... THIS IS FUN!"

( My guess is that Republicans don't want the public to see...EVER again.... how intimidated and frightened they are to debate an INTELLIGENT president who knows what he is talking about.)

If you get a chance to see this.....your hope for this country will return.

Yea! President Obama :woohoo:

[BlueIdaho]

23. GIVE THEM HELL Mr. President - America is with us!

[peaches2003]

24. We should go to a Parliamentary system

with the weekly questioning. Just looking at the last 4 Presidents we would have benefitted greatly. Obama and Clinton would have shone and the public would have seen the 2 Bushes, especially that little dimwit 43, for exactly what they are.

[shireen]

25. wow! looking forward to some good tv tonight

:popcorn:

[Raine]

28. LOL, I love it! nt

:bounce:

[Monk06]

29. OBam Bam should challenge the Repugs to do this at the end of every congressional session

Every Prime Minister of every Parliamentary Government
has to do this every day that Parliament is sitting.

Which is why Harper is getting heat for dismissing Parliament
for no good reason.

The last time this was done Charles I lost his head. (allowances for exaggeration)
