Uhhhhh.... did KO just say he is putting Obama on the Worst Person List today?

[RollWithIt]

Say it aint so KO.

[TheDonkey]

1. wtf, i seriously doubt that

[mikiturner]

26. Maybe this

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/nbc/brokaw_olbermann_featured_in_obama_ad_95839.asp?c=rss

"Tom Brokaw anchors a mock election night broadcast and Keith Olbermann's voice can be heard announcing Sen. John McCain as the next President of the United States in a new ad from the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama.?

[TTUBatfan2008]

2. Yes, he is...

Wonder what for? I've been at work all day so I don't know what Barack's been up to today.

[seabeyond]

41. i was wrong

[polichick]

3. Yep - wonder what he did.

[DangerousRhythm]

4. I heard the same.

WTF?

[babylonsister]

5. I think he did. nt

[FVZA_Colonel]

6. I'm just curious as to what Obama could have done.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

7. Obama's not perfect.

Neither is Keith.


There! I've had my cake and ate it, too!

[stray cat]

8. The clip was when Obama was trying to re-insure people it would eventually be passed

I assume something related to that statement.

[BuyingThyme]

11. Maybe it's that whole "Fool me once..." thing.

[BuyingThyme]

9. Hmm...

I wish I could get that show.

At what point in the show does he usually do that?

[Barack_America]

10. He's just trying to be dramatic.

The drama. My main issue with Olbermann :eyes:

[catgirl]

14. The exaggerated drama of KO

I don't watch him for that very reason. Obama checks his ego at the door. KO
should take lessons from him.

[Danger Mouse]

12. If that's the case, the FUKO. Obama comes before Keith, sorry.

[moodforaday]

23. Friends don't let friends drive drunk - and all that.

Maybe KO is a friend you should listen to. Maybe Obama is not a saving angel. Maybe KO has a valid point there somewhere. I don't know, you don't know either. But I know it's generally a good idea to listen to criticism from people you respect. You, on the other hand, say FYKO without knowing what he has to say. That's dumb.

Listen to the man first.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. Geez, Louise, people.

Overreact much?

[CatWoman]

19. how did I know I'd find a common sense post on this thread

bearing your name?

:hi:

[azurnoir]

15. Possibly because Obama backed

passing the boondogg bailout without any help for homeowners

[catgirl]

16. Bullshit- you say.... backing w/out help for homeowners

you're full of it (bullshit)!

[azurnoir]

24. No unfortunately I am not

it was an AP story late last week that Obama was willing to drop help homeowner help to get the bill passed, along with a provision that some money be put aside to build low income houseing, really perhaps you should read more and name call less.

[quiller4]

25. your a only partially right about Obama's position

However the bill upon which Congress voted today did have homeowner help in it just not as much as in compromise draft #1. The AP story said that Obama was willing to strip out the low income housing money if and only if that was necessary to secure passage. That is a little different.

KO oversimplied a story that AP sketchily reported.

I like KO but he is wrong now and then. I think he is wrong on this one.

[azurnoir]

49. No I am not wrong LINK

Americans who take out loans to purchase cars, boats and even investment properties can file for bankruptcy protection and have a judge restructure their payments. But that's not the case with their home mortgages. Since 1978, bankruptcy laws have prohibited judges from adjusting loans on a "principal residence."

Some Democrats had called for the bailout bill to change bankruptcy laws to permit such restructuring as a way to offer something for Main Street America.

So successful was the effort to portray the bankruptcy idea as a deal breaker that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, while campaigning in Florida last week, said he thought the proposal was meritorious but did not belong in the emergency bailout bill.

[catgirl]

47. Got a link?

And who's name calling? I find what you say to be bullshit.

[azurnoir]

48. Look it up ypurself or continue to call BS

doesn't matter to me

[pettypace]

17. May add some semblance of objectivity to KO's show

but I kinda doubt Barack is actually gonna be on that list...we'll see.

Anyone else feel KO is on the verge of being the Democratic Hannity in terms of bias. I enjoy when KO puts on conservatives..John Dean, Buchanan. I've never seen KO become combative towards any guest to his credit.

[Vattel]

18. This is the guy

that said that HRC implied (in her RFK remarks) that she was waiting around hoping for Obama to be assassinated. He's the Hannity of the left--useful at times, but not to be taken too seriously IMO.

[jberryhill]

20. He's put HIMSELF on the list in the past

Good golly.

You understand that, along with Oddball, that's one of the entertainment segments of the show?

D'jever notice how many of the "Best" people are dumb criminals?

[Speck Tater]

21. Keithe put HIOMSELF on the worst persons list once. Chill out. NT

[Beausoir]

22. ROFL! This thread should be interesting.

[geekgrrl]

27. why give the repugs fuel for their fire? I love KO and I hope this is very lighthearted or

something.

[pot luck]

28. I guessing it's for the Vote for Change ad

Using KO and Tom Brokaw in it.

ETA: Or not.

[pettypace]

29. I knew it was going to be something stupid

good job KO...not.

[1corona4u]

30. LOL.....funny!!! 16th!!

[DangerousRhythm]

31. HAHA, wrong anniversary year!

[BumRushDaShow]

35. LOL!

[1corona4u]

39. What's funny is, go back up the thread, and watch how people

went into damage control, LOL, when they didn't know what it could possibly be, LOL :rofl:

[vaberella]

36. I'm sorry. I laughed when I heard Obama forgot how long he was married to Michelle.

So cute and very human.

[IndianaGreen]

44. 16th anniversary, per Michelle

Barack better buy some flowers!

Men!

[gabby garcia]

38. oh noz!

suspend the camapaign!

[Terri S]

40. Now, that was cute!

Hope it gets back to Barack and Michelle. I can just hear her say, Good! and him getting all sheepish. So cute.

[TankLV]

42. Yes - because he was referring ot obama's response to how long he's been MARRIED...

so he's in the "doghouse" with his WIFE over this "problem"...!!!

Yeah - so he's on the "worst" list -

geesh - learn what the subject actually was about before opening mouth and inserting foot...

yeah - KO "really did "that"...

good grief...

psst: ever hear of "self deprecating humor"? or "tongue in cheek" "criticism"?!?!

[GetTheRightVote]

50. A Bailout should not happen, we need to return to the ideals of FDR

and protect the american worker from the theft of their tax payer dollar.

:grr:

[Occam Bandage]

51. In case you missed it, FDR engaged in massive government spending to reverse an economic depression

caused by risky investors on Wall Street. You know, what we're trying to do now.
