MSNBC: PE Barack Obama coming up soon, "Let's see if he oversteps his boundaries"
Seriously.. the guy said that. Why are they all looking so hard for that "line" that he must not cross? (Particularly when discussing the economy. . I mean.. I could almost countenance it if he were discussing foreign policy)

5. just as there was no line that Monkey Boy could not cross, look for four years
of the converse with Obama. There will be a labyrinth of ever-changing 'lines' which he may or may not cross, and a never-ending supply of scandal when he does or does not.

Such is the 'liberal' MSM. :eyes:

6. there's a tremendous vacuum in leadership right now
People are looking to Obama to fill it. He's not even the president yet and he's on the job and he's working for free.

All the while, the Chimp at the White House is taking it easy. I think it would be hard for Obama to do too much at this point--the nation needs leadership!

8. I personally want to see Obama go for the throat
like a bulldog. I hope he doesnt waver to please the corporatists who run everything. including some dems. Perhaps he is now walking softly and carrying a big stick. we shall see.

12. Seriously. The media should have decided which meme they were going with.
I've heard that Obama is overstepping his boundaries by acting and I've heard that he's hiding behind the notion that there is only one president at a time to avoid taking on the crisis.

14. "Have that boy whipped and send him back to the cotton fields where he belongs!"
Sheesh... :shrug: This guy is doing more serious work before a holiday than his predecessor ever did during the year, and he's not even in office yet...and they're afraid he's overreaching?

By this time on a normal Thanksgiving week, Little Boots would've been in Crawford clearing brush already.

16. And we're not going to draw a line
We will, however, in retrospect, come absolutely unglued should Obama cross any lines that we draw long after he's crossed them, because we have 24 hours to fill each and every day, and a certain outrage quotient that must be filled. After eight years of the most sickening toadying that bankrupted the country and ruined our standing in the world community, we're all set to be offended, pissed off, mad, miffed, put upon, scandalized, overcome, and generally in a state of permanent high dudgeon for the next four years, at least.

The somnambulent bulldogs of the Fourth Estate begin to stir at last. And look at the mess they wake up to! That guy looks like he's in charge; it must all be his fault!

17. IMO someone did indeed overstep their bounds and it isn't Obama
These people need to be held accountable for what they say..This was a very insulting statement and MSNBC needs to be called on it..

21. No shit?
Someone actually said that? On MSNBC?

Fuckers are going to be more miserable with Obama than they were with Clinton, and they landed on Clinton right from the start.

But, Republicans get a smile and a wave, don't they?

Fuckers.

This is why I don't watch TV during the day....................
