All that work to get Keith back on the air, just so he could trash our President some more

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

For some reason KO has the same reading of the Axlerod interview that all the other proficient readers of English have.

Doesn't he know the WH denied it?

[Bluebear]

1. Keith never really loved him!

:cry:

[Dappleganger]

2. I am certain that KO isn't going to be on the WH xmas card list this year.

:rofl:

[senseandsensibility]

3. It wasn't a denial in my opinion

Apparently, Keith agrees. The weasel words were out in full force.

[baldguy]

4. I gues you're not listening.

Or maybe just hearing what you what to hear.

16. .....

:puke:

[laughingliberal]

17. All I see is the White House signalling they won't support making the cuts for the wealthy permanent

What I believe is they will agree to a temporary extension. I hate it. It kicks it down the road and we'll be fighting it every few years.

[Tatiana]

5. I'm really not seeing a firm denial. I'm seeing the WH floating the possibility

of a temporary extension of the tax cuts for another 2 years (conveniently through the end of the current Presidential term).

Keith is simply standing up for the working and middle class... articulating that we shouldn't be giving tax cuts for people "who don't need them" (as the President has said in the past) instead of providing job creation/works projects for people in desperate need of employment.

[Autumn]

6. I trust Keith a hell of a lot more Axlerod

and his weasel words. I hope Keith sits next to me under the bus.

[laughingliberal]

21. Hey, wait for me! I want to sit with Keith, too. nm

[Autumn]

28. Limited seating,

but I'll save you a spot. I've been assured all the best people are here.

[tnlefty]

23. May I join you back under the bus...?

I just crawled out to stock up on tequila, wine and foodstuffs, and someone took my place!

[Autumn]

29. Sure. Are you going to

share the tequila?

[Toucano]

7. If that little piece is "trashing", you might want to lie low for awhile

in the event the administration actually DOES cave in on this issue.

You'll probably have a stroke when you see the fury such a move would unleash.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

9. You know... you just gave me a potential insight into the method/madness

The funny thing is, there have not been the expected explosions over a series of these slow motion sell-outs.

By the time the thing is formalized everyone has already accepted the inevitable... cynicism rather than rage.

So maybe there is some weird sense to the 'death by a thousand cuts' PR approach.

[Toucano]

13. You have a good point.

But there's a compounding effect, too. Eventually, the thousand paper cuts are painful.

If the DADT report comes back from the Pentagon in December and action doesn't move forward on repeal...
and this extension of tax cuts for the rich comes to pass...
and the administration backs away from the 2011 withdrawal from Afghanistan...

the pressure cooker might let out a bit more than steam.

[Skidmore]

8. Thought you'd appreciate the help in the trashing department.

[ShamelessHussy]

10. More critics, less cheerleaders

Please

[BzaDem]

11. I personally think Obama will extend all the tax cuts for two years, despite the denial. Elections

have consequences, and his choices are all or nothing. Given that nothing will be a 310 billion/year hit on the economy for the middle class tax cuts expiring when we have 9.5% unemployment, he'll probably sign a bill extending them all and then veto a bill in 2 years trying to do so again (when the economy's better).

[elleng]

12. One more time from me: AWFUL that admin has to negotiate in the media.

[dennis4868]

14. When did Obama announce....

That he is for tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of the people? I must have missed that.....

[Tx4obama]

19. He NEVER has. n/t

[Dr.Phool]

15. I like the little on screen logo during the Chris Hayes segment.

"Negotiating for Dummies"

As a former member of my union negotiating team, I can say, Rule#

DON'T SEND THE DUMMY TO DO THE NEGOTIATING!!!

Cowards!

[Bluenorthwest]

18. It said 'for Demmies'

which made it even better. Glyph of the year. Loved it.

[Scurrilous]

20. Mission Accomplished!

:P

[laughingliberal]

22. The way I read it, the WH has only denied they would agree to 'permanent' tax cuts for the upper 2%.

Goody! The cuts will be extended temporarily and we can fight this out again in a few years while we continue to hear about the effing deficit.

[TeaBagsAreForCups]

24. "Trashing our President" =

... telling the truth: our "progressive" emperor has no clothes. Much to the deep chagrin of millions of true and authentic liberals.

A White House denial now enjoys the same merit, credibility, and currency as does the dozens of campaign promises made prior to the morning of January 20, 2009.

25. +100

[leftstreet]

27. +1

"A White House denial now enjoys the same merit, credibility, and currency as does the dozens of campaign promises made prior to the morning of January 20, 2009"

Nicely stated!

[Imagevision]

26. Of course the WH denied it - the people got hold of the Axlerod interview and don't like it
