Thank you , thank you, thank you, and no I don’t sit on my….well ok yes, this time I just Happen to be on the computer and switched back here and there was a new post. I am just lucky, that’s all.
Ohhh! MSNBainC is at it again. Mitchel is playing what Robney just said, that the President said the Private Sector is just fine and She has on Tweety to say he is Parsing the Jobs picture.
Here we go again!!! This is all they will play all weekend, every segment 24/7!
Another break from cable!
We anticipated that the MSM would respond in exactly the way you’re describing. In fact, that’s typically how I know that the president’s pressers are effective – when the entire MSM seems to be on a collective anti-Obama meltdown immediately following the session. Cantor and Boehner and Romney all came out immediately after for a reason. They were on the defensive.
The fact that they also pounced on the same issue that the MSM pounced on – which was Obama’s comment about the private sector being fine, also suggests that the MSM/GOP/RNC circulate emails and coordinate their lines of attack. By saying that the private sector is “fine” PBO didn’t just put the GOP in congress on notice, he also put those CEOs in the private company on notice, that he’s on to their tactics of not hiring as much as they could deliberately to hurt the economy, especially since they now have all the tools they need for maximum job creation.
So I don’t think you have much to worry about Jovie – I just keep pushing the truth and challenging the talking points on Twitter. PBO will be fine. The more outraged the media is today and on the weekend, the better I will feel.
Actually, I am quite proficient in English, but my comment was more concerned with your health, as you continue to watch these horrific media shows that do nothing to help anyone’s blood pressure of level of knowledge. I was going crazy myself last week, watching all of it, and finally took a step back and deleted these shows from my DVR – never felt better! They’ll drive you crazy. Nothing but lies and negativity.
I totally turned her ass off, and deleted the recording. Also, off with Alex–she’s off my recording list. Tweety is last on the watch list. As soon as he starts the crazy, off he goes. I now have zero tolerance for B.S. TheObamaDiary is my first stop every morning, and my last stop each night. Truthfully, I get most of the info/links I need from this sight. I hit a few of my favorite blogs each day (Steve Benen, Extreme Liberal, AngryBlackLady, Smartypants, PMCarpenter, The People’s View and ‘What is Working’. ‘What is Working’ has wonderful information regarding programs and innovations. It is truly enlightening, and a feel-good read. No FOX-except through progressive links, No CNN–except weekends. I have given these idiots enough of my time. When my erstwhile friends call with their hair on fire, because they heard some anti-Obama nonsense, I will no longer spend time trying to talk them down. They need to start doing their own research. All I will say is Obama will win, and I already have my ticket to D.C. and a hotel reservation, for the 2013 Obama Inaugural. Any fool who thinks a pathological liar and bully, with no integrity, ethics, character or ideas, should or could have even the ‘honor’ of kissing my President’s ass, no longer deserves my attention.
Spot on! I don’t watch any of it unless there is something I really, really want to hear discussed. I simply cannot subject myself to corporate media, which I clearly know is not reporting to inform but to inflame, confuse and/or depress.
Theo does not want me on Twitter, to many exclamation points!!!!!!!!!
LOL!
You know their is something to be said about having pet peeves and maybe even OCD!
Btw- I am at the Park with my Dog, construction putting in a Solar Heater for my Water.
Seeing how Theo wants to get all personal with me and all!
LOL! Levity is good, it relieves tension.
The funny thing about all of this, I was not even watching msnbainc, I was responding to what my Mother told me, over the Phone.
Thus, this whole discusion is moot.
But, Steve Benen answered my question.
@stefcutter Another day of consistent behavior from the #KOCHSTERS (GOP) – Obstruct economic recovery to harm #PresObama per 20Jan2009 plot.— Bobfr (@Our4thEstate) June 08, 2012
As gaffes go, this strikes me extremely weak tea. The choice of words probably could have been slightly better, but really, to treat this as some kind of breakthrough moment in the campaign is pretty silly. Indeed, what Obama said, in context, is largely correct — compared to the public sector, the private sector really is doing fine.
This isn’t complicated. Corporate profits have soared, the stock market is up, and private sector job growth has fueled the recovery entirely on its own. In fact, private sector job growth last year was the second best year we’ve seen since the late 1990s, and 2012 is on track to be even stronger.
The public sector, meanwhile, continues to be a drag on the economy, laying off workers and cutting budgets. Comparing the two sectors, there’s nothing shocking about saying one is “fine” and the other isn’t.
Thank you Steve Benen… I needed to find out exactly what Robney said, so I could call back my Mither, instead I got mocked upthread!
I should be used to it!
This is from the previous thread. TOD. I really need your help with this.

TOD! I just received a phone call from a friend who has invited me to join her business website for the express purpose of educating her clients about what they can do to help re-elect PBO.
It was amazing to me how much is not known out there- things we talk about everyday is just not known!
My friend’s first two questions were about Wisconsin and the super-PAC money. Does Wisconsin spell doom for the November election, and how can we keep people from getting so discouraged about the influx of money that they just give up?
Frankly her call made my day! No matter how shaken she is, she is ready to reach out to her community and inform them.
This is what we need to do. We must become pro-active in every way possible. It’s the only way to fight off the doom and gloom.
Any help or suggestions for my first article will be appreciated.
Also, I am a minister, so I need some guidance about how much I can say without getting into legal problems. This website is not connected to my church, but I still need guidance.
I will be directing the ladies to this site. Thanks Chips and TOD for all you do.

COMPARED TO PUBLIC SECTOR – CORPORATE PROFITS ARE UP, PRIVATE SECTOR IS ADDING JOBS
If the jackals acted like real journalists instead of gossip columnists at a coffee katch (looking for dirt) we would all benefit. Instead of reporting the substance of President Obama’s press conference (Which is there are things that congress can be doing right now to help the economy) they go off on a stupid tangent about PBO saying that the private sector is doing fine COMPARED TO THE JOB LOSSES AT THE STATE LEVEL. Why is anyone shocked at that statement. IT’S THE PUBLIC SECTOR JOB LOSSES THAT IS SEVERELY IMPACTING THE RECOVERY. WTF. WE ARE GOING FULL SPEED DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS.
With all the air time needed to fill I think the “journalists” are afraid to challenge anyone on their talking points or they will not come back for more interviews. The MSM is pathetic.

THE BAIN ADS ARE WORKING, HENCE THE FREAKOUT FROM ROMNEY AND THE MEDIA ABOUT “TONE”
When’s the last time you heard anyone in the mainstream media comment extensively on the fact that Mitt Romney lies in speeches, op-eds, town halls, and ads all the time. Has anyone in the media talked about the vicious “TONE” OF ROMNEY’S ADS?? They are full of nothing but lies and distortions just like Karl Roves Crossroads GPS. The double standard is just unbelievable. President Obama is handicapped with outlandish restrictions while Mitt Romney gets free reign to lie through his teeth. Selective outrage rules the day. Nothing about this resembles real journalism.
Bain Capital: the conventional wisdom may not be wise
By Steve Benen
——————————–
This week’s Daily Kos/SEIU State of the Nation poll conducted by PPP also found a significant number of voters less likely to vote for Romney in light of his Bain Capital background.

If the Obama campaign’s internal polls show similar trends, expect Bain criticisms to continue, whether the establishment likes it or not.
Did you see over at DKos how that brooklybadboy accused the Obama Camp of backing off the Bain attacks?
What area of reality are these people living????
I have to say, MSNBC has been calling Romney out for straight up lies. Rachel/SteveBenen, Martin Bashir, Lawrence O’Donnell, Rev Al. Even the skizoids Ed Shultz & Tweety. Stephanie Miller/Jennifer Granholm on CURRENT. Randi Rhodes on Radio. With Still over 4-months to go, the tide is turning. Maybe even the MSM is getting tired of GOP lying to their faces and expecting not to be challenged. Could some kind of ‘professional pride’ finally be kicking in? Even Chris freaking Wallace challenged the romney-bots on their ‘facts’ and spin. Frustration is in the air, and it’s going to be a looooooooooong summer.
CHRONICLING MITT’S MENDACITY “VOLUME 21″ (There is something seriously wrong with this man.)
Chronicling Mitt’s Mendacity, Vol. XXI
By Steve Benen
———————–
Campaigning in St. Louis yesterday, Mitt Romney, reading from his teleprompter, told supporters he would never be a “president of doubt and deception.”
You could almost hear irony weeping. After all, as Kevin Drum explained, “I expect political candidates to bend the truth a fair amount…. But Romney’s willingness to flat-out lie is singular.”
Or as Rachel explained just last night, “Mr. Romney gets caught saying things that are factually wrong, and the thing that is different about him is that does not mind; he doesn’t fix it; he doesn’t even try to worm out of it. He doesn’t appear to feel any shame about it at all — and he’s happy to keep telling the lie once he knows it is a lie.”

Previous editions of Chronicling Mitt’s Mendacity: Vol. I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII,XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX
I’ve been keeping up with Steve’s Mitt Mendacity series. I have downloaded them all, and send them to people I think can appreciate the knowledge. The trend is growing. Once this starts sticking to Romney, it will take on a life of its own. He will not be able to overcome this basic truth about his lack of character and integrity. It is one of the things that strenghtens my hope. The public loves to wallow in shit. Once the GOP is finally called out by the shallow media, they will be like a dog with a bone. It will be the greatest show on earth.

I thought only Obama uses a teleprompter.
Romney needs a damn teleprompter. They painted themselves into a corner with all the mocking of Obama’s teleprompter use.
