Chuck Todd: Obama also is to blame WTF?

[SuperTrouper]

Because the Black Caucus did not support the bailout and the Democrats that voted against it, most were early supporters of Obama in the Primaries :mad:

[Marsala]

1. RAGE!

Our fair and balanced media at work as usual.

[rusty charly]

2. streeeeeeeeeetch-

iiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg.

[City Lights]

3. Talking points! Mrs. Greenspan said the same thing earlier. Not an original thought

amongst their "experts." Where is this talking point coming from, NBC or GOP?

Fuck them.

[Supersedeas]

37. they have the GoP faxes and a National Platform to divide the country prior to another election

[Sebastian Doyle]

59. Mrs. Greenspan is the last one who should be talking about this subject at all

Since (unlike Obama) her fucking wrinkled up husband deserves much of the blame for what the fucked up "trickle down" reverse Robin Hood economic policies have done to this country.

[ErinBerin84]

4. yeah, this is the new "meme".

What fucking BULLSHIT! The dems delivered their part of the deal, does everyone really think they were going to dive head first into a shitfest without the Republicans? Wasn't John McCain supposed to be the one who was coming to "save the day", and took all the credit for it yesterday morning? Unbelievable.

[Supersedeas]

49. the facsimile machines must be humming with GOP/RW talking points at GENBC

[FloridaGrl]

5. where do i email these fools

I am very offended.

[City Lights]

12. I had three emails to "[e-mail]" returned this AM, so try this one:

[e-mail]

The one I sent there was not returned.

[FloridaGrl]

18. Thanks

[Hepburn]

6. FUCK YOU, CHUCKIE BABY! eom

[jbnow]

I didn't think Todd specified the black caucus, he said

a lot of the no votes were Obama's early supporters. I don't know if that's true but I do know that most black caucus members weren't among Obama's early supporters

It was Andrea Mitchell that made Obama responsible for the votes of the black caucus. (Did she say they had a dance he was at???) But she said none of them voted for it. A poster further down said somebody made that comment to Blitzer on CNN and he corrected them saying 18 of the members did vote for it and 21 against it. (I might have that number wrong)
So it sounds like Andrea heard none voted for it and just passed it on without checking and Blitzer at some point checked the facts. Amazing.

But in any case...the Dems voted yes by a large majority. If getting the party vote through falls on the candidates I guess Obama did his job.

[Supersedeas]

61. Mitchell repeating Sanchez talking point

[oviedodem]

7. As usual blame black people; where have I heard this before.

[redstate_democrat]

43. I'm so fucking sick of this shit.

If some white folks didn't have black people to blame, these motherfuckers would blow their fucking brains out.

[Peacetrain]

8. Oh for the love of GOD, does it never end

[Schulzz]

9. And did we mention he is black?

:puke:

[JaneQPublic]

34. Of course, Obama's white half was responsible for all the other "no" votes.

:sarcasm:

:banghead:

No doubt Brockaw told Todd he needed to spread the blame more evenly to the Dems.

[NJmaverick]

10. and McLiar is to blame because the white caucus didn't support it

[Supersedeas]

42. Nooooo, but he will get credit when it passes -- McChucky and Ms Greenspan will make certain of it

[knowledgeispwr]

62. Of course McCain isn't to blame; whites are individuals

now those colored folks.... :sarcasm:

[southpaw]

11. Alright, goddamnit!

This 'Obama shoulda delivered the black caucus' bullshit is really pissing me off.

This is blatantly racist, and Chuckie needs to be called out for it, along with anyone else who is repeating it!

[Supersedeas]

60. don't let McChuckie T forget it -- his choice to inject RW racial politics

[PA Democrat]

13. Well, if Obama gets the blame for all of the blacks who voted against the bill, McCain

should take the blame for all of the WHITES who voted against the bill. If Todd wants to stupidly make it an issue of RACE, then at least be consistent.

[Supersedeas]

48. I guess Todd thinks Black aren't capable of forming alliances with Republicans

[mscuedawg]

14. Find a speech that hurt their feelings....GMAFB....eom

[CitizenLeft]

15. I hate to say this, because it's painful...

...but yesterday that loatheful Leslie Sanchez tried to pull that BS on Blitzer, and to his credit, he corrected her. "Not one member of the congressional black caucus voted for the bill." Blitzer for some reason had that info right in his hand, and said, "no, in fact, 18 members voted for it, 21 against, so half of them voted for it." In which case Ms. Loatheful had to say, "oh, I stand corrected."

Yes you do, you disgusting lying twit.

Er, you go, Wolf. :crazy:

[high density]

20. oh, so this is some sort of talking point coming from the GOP?

If so, why is Chuck Todd acting as a mouthpiece for them?

[goclark]

23. Maybe because since he wants to be the new Russet

he has to be their mouthpiece.

Since Russet passed, IMO Chuckie Todd is twisting that Re/Blue Map to make sure we know that "Obama is having trouble with the White votes in the critical states."

That is such a huge thing with him to repeat.

I don't like him.

[City Lights]

24. Because that's what GE pays him (and Andrea Mitchell Greenspan) to do. nt

[CitizenLeft]

53. good question.

I'm wondering what's going on with him, he was much more fair during the primaries. Disappointing, I was starting to like him.

[BumRushDaShow]

21. I had the TV when that happened and heard that! I was shocked

that Blitzer corrected her. I didn't even know what the vote breakout was until I finally found an alternate place to download the roll call (the House.gov website had been crashed since Sunday).

[CitizenLeft]

54. me too, I nearly fell outta my chair!

...and I was all ready to hear him say, "thanks for that, Leslie."

[City Lights]

25. Thanks for the information. I'm off to send another howler to GE-TV!

:nuke:

[CitizenLeft]

55. you're most welcome!

[jbnow]

27. Blitzer? Way to go having facts. Rare. This

is the first time I heard that info, the other TV talkers keep saying none of the congressional black caucus voted for the bill...
and shame on me I assumed it was true then. When it comes to candidates I never take media word for things, I look things up, get context. I should have known better.

Assuming Blitzer was correct he did the job I think the media should do...he knew facts and corrected misstatements. That should not be rare but it is. I rarely give him any praise...but kudos Blitzer

[CitizenLeft]

56. it was weird, he had it in his hand.

Maybe he'd gotten tipped off about the talking points, and he got the roll call before she got on the air.

[HughMoran]

30. Wow, trying to "blame the blacks"

That's utterly disgusting!!

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[CitizenLeft]

58. yes, it is disgusting. They are shameless.

And they wonder why AAs vote 85% + for Democrats every single presidential election? DOH!

[GoesTo11]

41. Why would he have that info at hand?

Did he receive the Republican talking points sheet saying 21 members of the CBC voted against it? Very unusual for Wolf to have such detailed facts available.

[SuperTrouper]

44. Yes, they gave it away. The RNC sent them the info.

[Supersedeas]

50. doncha luv how responsive the chattering class can be to the most irresponsible shit

[BumRushDaShow]

16. 2/3rds of Dems voted for it. 2/3rds of repukes voted against.

There were very few "early (Black Caucus) supporters" of Obama. Most had already endorsed Hillary back in December 2007 and only changed either half-way through the primaries or at the very end.

But NBC/MSNBC shouldn't let the facts get in the way! :rofl:

[Supersedeas]

51. facts don't matter; GoP facsimiles matter

[high density]

17. Last night Chuck Todd mentioned that the Dems brought the votes they promised

Why is this guy so two-faced?

[JaneQPublic]

32. He got a call from Brockaw. (nt)

[treestar]

19. There is no reason why poor people, who had nothing invested

should be all that rabid for the bill - blacks are disproportionately poor.

White people need to get over themselves. Playing the pity card on this will not work.

[WeDidIt]

22. That's a blatantly racist comment by Todd!

Seriously, the Black Caucus is a part of the House. Obama is in the SENATE.

So the only reason Todd can blame Obama for not talking the Black Caucus is because of race. There is no other logical connection between the Black Caucus and Obama!

[TwilightGardener]

26. In that case, McLoser lost far more of the House Republicans' white caucus.

[HughMoran]

28. lol - OK - but I'm glad a bill with only 1/3 Rep support didn't pass

They can't run from this and blame any voter backlash on the Dems, so what he says is irrelevant.

[Chan790]

29. I sent them an email...

I let them know that their racist talking point did not go unnoticed.

[ProSense]

31. This is such a bullshit argument of two levels.

More than 60% of Democrats voted for the bill.

The Democrats who voted against it said they wanted a better bill. That is very unlike Republicans who voted against it because they got their feeling hurt.

[mac56]

33. Chuck Todd is a grave disappointment.

grrrr

[npincus]

35. they don't want to lose thier "horserace", and Obama's starting to pull away.

they = MSM

[pdxmom]

36. In his "First Read" column on this, Chuckie said the same thing, but left

out identifying the CBC, as he did in his on-air comments. Head on over there and voice your opinion of his racist on-air comments.

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/30/1468362.aspx

[Spritz57]

38. Obviously this has become an MSNBC talking point to appear balanced.

This is racist plain and simple.

[SuperTrouper]

39. Totally agree. They are despicable, they want to stop Obama at all costs

to make it a "horse race" :mad:

[Spritz57]

47. Unfortunately too many stakeholders have a personal agendas from which, they and they

alone benefit. I agree with you. I wonder how much the ownership/management has influenced the dialogue?

[lame54]

40. Thanks Obama...

We didn't hand the crooks a staggering $700 Billion( that's Billion with a B :wtf: ) - He should take credit for it

[uponit7771]

45. yeap, I'm officially against this fuckin bill

[ClarkUSA]

46. Sounds like a GOP talking point. Fact: 60% of Dems voted "aye" while only 33% of Pukes did

:eyes:

[Cha]

52. No, chuckie todd can't blame Obama ..not after

the brilliant speech he gave today in Reno, Nevada.

chuckie just needs to get on the right fucking page..course that would mean looking past his nose.

[Overseas]

57. Chuckie must be helping Tom Brokaw bias the coverage in McCain's favor.

After all, in today's NYT profile, Brokaw let everyone know about his serious mission as a journalist.

His mission, he said, was to assure the candidate's aides that -- despite some negative on-air commentary by Mr. Olbermann in particular -- Mr. McCain could still get a fair shake from NBC News.

Apparently for Brokaw, McCain getting a "fair shake" from NBC means NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS.

But Obama can be trashed regularly to show that the NBC reporters are not biased in his favor. So yo see, Chuckie is just showing the dear friends of Brokaw at the McCain campaign that he is not against them. Isn't that nice?

[GalleryGod]

63. Would that be Tommy "In the Tank for Pop-Pop" Brokaw?

Multi-millionaire?
Way past his prime,Asswipe????
