You know you have hit rock bottom, when MSNBC handmaidens Olbermann, Mathews (tingling legs), and Fineman from Newsweek criticize Obama’s Oval Office Speech for being empty and meaningless. Here a few lines that indicate the exasperation Obama’s propagandists are feeling from the President’s indifference toward America’s greatest ecological disaster.
Olbermann: “It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days.”
Matthews compared Obama to Carter.
Olbermann: “Nothing specific at all was said.”
Matthews: “No direction.”
Howard Fineman: “He wasn’t specific enough.”
Olbermann: “I don’t think he aimed low, I don’t think he aimed at all. It’s startling.”
Howard Fineman: Obama should be acting like a “commander-in-chief.”
Matthews: Ludicrous that he keeps saying [Secretary of Energy] Chu has a Nobel prize. “I’ll barf if he does it one more time.”
Matthews: “A lot of meritocracy, a lot of blue ribbon talk.”
Matthews: “I don’t sense executive command.”
This is a radical turnaround from the last two years when this trio regarded Obama as a Moses type figure who could lead the Socialists to prominence in America and neutralize America’s Super Power status while promoting the idea of racial harmony through racial strife. He was the perfect politician, he had huge resources of questionable campaign funds and a speaking voice that wooed American voters by the millions.
Now that his inept and corrupt Chicago Machine style leadership is being exposed as the worst presidency in the last 150 years, not even his most loyal sycophants can continue to carry on the charade.

I fully expected that there would be a change in tone at MSNBC since Comcast took over management and GE’s CEO has been booted out. Their editorial staff has probably been given the what for about how lousy their ratings were and that it probably is not such a good idea for their “journalists” to look like teenage groupies over the president. So tingle legs and Madcow have to tone down their praises. I think that it must have been very difficult for them to criticize the One now, but with new managment, they can’t be singing Our POTUS’s praises all the time. I think it is too soon to tell if they are becoming disenchanted. It may now just be part of their job requirements not to look so “in love” with Obama and the Democrats. They have to pretend to be objective you know.
Or maybe I am just on crack on this one.
Where’s your tingle NOW, douchebag……
. . . And now Obama lies about an “independent” group that will oversee the distribution of the BP $20 billion fund. Independent? There was no need to lie. His lack of intellectual acumen is baffling. How did this guy even get into Harvard, nevermind get into the White House?
Do we dare assume that Mr. Tingle Legs Matthews enjoyed the tingling while it lasted, but it’s come to an end?
@ tammy,
“It may now just be part of their job requirements not to look so “in love” with Obama and the Democrats.”
. . . Good call.
How could they have been so in love with him, so devoted through thin and thinner, and others so opposed. It’s a point to ponder. Probably a certain percentage is always the company line, and it’s usually the case that the new boss tries new things, so no surprise there. That would still leave a large residual of blind hope, exactly like a teenage groupie. And what happens to those youthful passions, hmm, seems like they usually end with embarrassment. Or, it could be even more of the Big Plot of the unknown conspirators. I’d give the latter a share of the fawning motivation too, actually. There are as I see it atm possibly 5 groups of world-wide clout who control much too much of the media and all had apparently good reasons to crown 0. If you were working in any of that media you might be confused as to whom to trust.
When you get a chance, check out the geniuses on the Obama side of the table during this $20 billion meeting at the White House.
This is the brilliance representing America, in a negotiation with one of the biggest corporations on Earth. . . . Come on, that’s just funny.
Where was the integrity when America needed it. These idiots had no clue when they crowned 0-bama the messiah and now that America realizes what a failre the organizer ALWAYS was, they are trying to salvage their ratings. Their integrity is long gone.
What Olbermann should have said: “It was a great speech until all the toilets began to back-up from the load that was being dumped on all of Obama’s 57 states.”

Remember the lessons of the history of past charismatic Socialists, and you need ponder no further. “The more things change, the more they remain the same” – Nostrodamus
@Common Sense
Integrity and ethics were driven out of Washington DC years ago by the tag team team of corruption and elitism.
Do we dare assume that Mr. Tingle Legs Matthews enjoyed the tingling while it lasted, but it�s come to an end?
