Is Obama seeing the Questions in Advance?

[Friendly Bear]

It occured to me after seeing Obama's absysmal, stumbling, stuttering performance on the Rick Warren interview, followed by the Bill O'Reilly interview, to question whether the other ideologically-friendly Mainstream Media were feeding Obama the questions in advance.

He always seemed so smooth on the Oprah show, who just happens to be one of his endorsers, and in interviews with friendly commentators and fellow travellers.

This Epiphany occured when I watched Senator McCain being attacked by five different women commentraitors on the View today.

He CERTAINLY didn't have the questions in advance?

Well, is it POSSIBLE Obama is seeing the questions in advance?

Anyone ask him yet??

HmmmmmmmH??

[RecycleMichael]

Yes.

The media decides who is a better story for America and then makes it happen.

After the election, they are doing a series on why bears should be put in cages.

How about that bumbling interview by Mrs. Palin?  Can anyone address a person during an interview by their given name more than she did with Charlie Gibson?

And for shame..not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is.  What kind of a Republican does that make her?

I thought she did a pretty good job considering Gibson did a Smash-Face interview on her.

He's another TV personality now on my Boycott List.  It's growing:

Oprah
Pamela Lee Anderson (besides, what more is there possibly left to see?).
Matt Damon  (Nice career, Matt while you had it).
Robert De Niro (old enough to know better)
Demi Moore
Ashton Kutcher
Ashley Judd
Keith Olbermann, MSNBC
Charles Gibson, ABC
Katie Couric, CBS
David Letterman
Gina Gershon
Tina Fey
Chevy Chase
Barbra Streisand
Wolf Blitzer, CNN
Barbara Walters, The View
Whoopi Goldberg, The View
Joy Behar, the View
Larry King CNN
Jack Cafferty CNN
Campbell Brown, CNN
George Stephanophallus, CNN
Paul Begala, CNN
Nora O'Donnell, NBC
Andrea Mitchell, NBC
All of CBS News
All of NBC News
All of ABC News
All of CNN News
All of MSNBC.

Besides, regarding the "Bush Doctrine", I don't know what it is either.

I thought the Bush Doctrine was starting unnecessary wars with no earthly idea how to find the Exit.............

Mission Accomplished?

Like Iraq.  

4,000 soldiers killed; 20,000+ maimed.  $600 Billion in treasure wasted.  Military hollowed out, and exhausted.  Enemies in Iran and Saudi Arabia strengthened.

Halliburton is happy, however.  VERY Happy.

Oh, THAT Bush Doctrine??

Wish I could forget it, too.

Nope, it was the doctrine regarding 'If you harbor terrorists, we'll treat you like the terrorists'.  Essentially anyway.

My point is, if the McCain camp is trying to get her up to speed so she can make her media appearances without scrutiny, this first test didn't do so well, now did it?

An incoming administration receives extensive briefings in all areas from the outgoing Administration, including especially National Security, with the key designees of the winning candidates being briefed.

There's ample time after Nov. 4 to get a President and VP up to speed on current policy, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.........

Wow, edit much?

And it doesn't surprise me.  Most republicans scream 'boycott' when some member of the MSM makes their party look bad.  Why should they care, when they have a whole freakin' cable news station who wouldn't dare talk bad about them.

Kinda limiting when the only people who will lob Republicans the softball questions are Hannity and O'Reilly.

I'm curious to see what Questions Seano asks of Mrs. Palin next week when he interviews her.  Somehow I can see a large white stitched orb in her future coming from ole Hannity.

until you know what the Bush Doctrine is do you think it is valid that you comment on it.  Mrs Palin as VP now really really scares me.  What the hell was McCain thinking, or was he thinking.  Sarah learning OTJ is not what I find endearing about her.

The palpable, left-wing bias in the Main Stream Media is what created the MARKET for Fox News.

Why do you think that Fox News is now the leading News Network??

People were craving "Fair and Balanced" for decades.

Now they have at least one national news outlet they can trust.

Fox News is now #1.

and something else I just thought about, Obama has real answers, all Palin has is gobbeldy gook nonsense nonanswers.  I don't know who is prepping her but they are doing a frigging terrible job.  Beyond the concept that Palin has no earthly idea what she is being asked to comment on.

You don't think a pre-disposed political bias makes Obama more palpable with you?

Why do we keep comparing a Presidential candidate to a VP candidate anyhow?  Last I checked it's Obama/Biden, McCain/Palin.  McCain's age is a straw man argument.  

I don't hear a whole lot of anything innovative coming out of the man who has been preaching change.  I hear an opportunistic creation of the Democrat Party when I hear Obama.  He's got a great back-story, but not much else inspires me about the man who has been running for President for 20 years.

He's got a great voice and he's awesome when he's on script.  He sounds like a babbling idiot to me when he has to wing it.  What it tells me is he is so overly cautious and afraid of making mistakes, or that he doesn't have any real convictions and that makes it harder for him to speak off the cuff.

That's my opinion not hard fact.  Just like your assertions.

I'm bent more toward the Libertarian spectrum, so a lot of Obama's solutions for larger gov't aren't going to strike a chord with me.  He's promised to cut taxes, yet I've heard no solution from him about balancing the budget nor cutting spending.  All I keep hearing about are expansive government programs and promoting tax cuts to people who aren't paying taxes now.  He wanted another tax rebate this fall???  That's trying to buy votes with MY tax money.

It may be a straw man argument to some, but it's valid, given not only his age, but his medical history.  Say what you want about privacy, but when I have to rely on a 44 year old 'hockey mom' as my potential C in C if something were to happen to McCain, I think not.

The interview just solidified my opinion of her.  You all talk about an empty suit about Obama.

Palin is an empty pant-suit.  A gimmick to energize the base and get the religious right to latch on.

God help us if they win and McCain passes while in office.  We'll be in a hell of mess (worse than the one we're already in).

Conan:  You don't think a pre-disposed political bias makes Obama more palpable with you?

Good god, pot to kettle, come in kettle.... you've used an Obama with mickey mouse ears avatar, never mind the one that showed Hillary Clinton is a communist... you don't remember your "Re-defeat Communism" avatar with a pic of Hillary....?

You know, I haven't even seen FOTD with an avatar that shows McCain as a facist....

Conan:  He sounds like a babbling idiot to me when he has to wing it.

Really?  I wonder how you'd sound if you knew every single word you used was going to be carefully scrutinized by the MSM..... but I forgot, the media's liberal.... yeah, they sure treated Howard Dean really nicely... oh, but the entire media is in the tank for Obama... yeah, right....

All you need is an excuse to hate Obama..... you don't like his views, fine... but you spare no effort on trying to tar and feather him....

And McCain is making this campaign about "judgement" and putting "America First" --- well, his choice of VP has demonstrated poor judgement and a reason to see his "America First" as nothing but empty words that come from an empty suit who will use Palin as a political ploy for a desperate campaign.... it's going to obvious to anyone but the most jaded of conservatives that he's put politics above his country in his choice of Palin.

Eventually, the country is going to find that out..... but the conservative media will cry like a baby when the truth comes out and blame the so-called "liberal" media...

[FOTD]

Anyone who thinks Sarah Palin ought to be President is an idiot.

That's it. The economy may suck, the health crisis and social security problematic. But this governor is the worst veep candidate ever. She makes Quayle look scholarly. She makes Agnew look like he was honest.
