She gets no credit from me. It’s not a sudden revelation that he’s a flip flopper. He couldn’t keep his lies straight during the campaign.

It’s EASY AFTER the fact to take a stand on “principle” but when he was at the height of his popularity, she was a coward like all the rest.

Worthless.

You doofus Ellen! The whole point is we KNEW Hillary was an experienced, stand-up person who would do a great job as POTUS in keeping what she promised during the campaign. We DID NOT know Obama being such a blank slate, as he put it, ‘everyone interprets me as they wish’. Why rush to the shiny, new but completely unproven person over the experienced ready one non-thinker?

The day will never come when Ms. Maddow admits her wrongheaded decisions or apologizes to Hillary.

Don’t be surprised if he gets a second term. I never would have believed anyone would re-elect George Bush and look what happened. The only difference is that with the debacle of the Iraq war, it was not front and center in most people’s lives — the sacrifices were localized to the military and their families. With the economy, that is front and center for everyone — what they feel in their pocketbooks, they will vote about and complain about — that is the only possibility of his having a waterloo.

By the same token, I want our country back on track as soon as possible so I cannot wish ill just so he is not re-elected. It would be nice if somebody at the head of the line started giving a damn about Main Street instead of themselves.

No rational person following the news during the primary campaign could have believed BO was telling the truth. Take, for example, his evolving description of the relationship between him and convicted felon Tony Rezko. When questions first arose about the relationship between these men, he said the scope of their relationship is this: he had done about 5 (five) hours of legal work for Mr. Rezko, through the Davis Law Firm. Then, when it came out that, Rezko had done with walk-thru before BO bought his house, he claimed, since Rezko was so knowledgeable about real estate, he asked him to take a look. Then, it was discovered that, BO and his wife visited Mr. and Mrs. Rezko at their vacation home. By then, reporters had stopped asking questions. And, when Rezko was indicted and, headlines announced that Rezko had raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for BO’s campaigns, BO eventually returned those ‘donations,’ bit by uncovered bit.

Thanks, Diana, you are absolutely right. Kudos for waking up at noon when you should have been on the job by 8am? An act definitely not worthy of a celebration of honor. Perhaps Harbor’s point of view is Maddow could have kept her mouth shut and not said anything at all, continuing the nap well into the afternoon … or until the cows come home. Unfortunately people like Maddow are just like kids discovering what adults already knew. You just got to humor them as they start singing truisms as if they had discovered them all by themselves. Sweet little fools.

But kudos? No. You don’t honor a seemingly intelligent adult for telling you they are getting wet while standing in the midst of a monsoon as if this is something deep and profound.

When will you get over your obama and anyone who ever said a good thing about him hate?? Excuse rachel maddow and her colleagues for going for Obama! They have a right to vote for whoever they want and if she disagreed with Hillary, so what? anyone who ever doubted Hillary is given the finger by you Hillary lovers - its incredible. Last time I checked, this is a free country - we can vote for whoever we want.

The Obats (as you continue to call them) were NEVER half as bad against Hillary as you guys are towards Obama. Seriously, it is unbelievable that you can continue to carry this hate of all things Obama.

I worked for Hillary’s campaign until I realized how disorganized it was and how disengenuous SHE was. Obama’s operation was refreshing after that experience, listening to Hillary’s supporters voice their hate every day day in day out.

as if Hillary would have done things differently - that is something you do not know. your drooling Hillary fascination is frankly disturbing. she is competent and doing a great job. she might even get along with Obama - but in your eyes she will continue to be the poor victim. yukkk, even she would cringe at that portrayal.

Thanks Bronwyn’s Harbor, for pointing this out. I too give Maddow kudos for doing her job on this issue and others.

Keeping Obama Accountable is what journalists are supposed to do. Maddow is doing a stellar job on that so far, and I appreciate her integrity on it. I also appreciate having the info Maddow provides on the tracking site she names, so I can keep up myself.

Thanks much for the info!

Agreed. I feel the same way, I HATE Olbermann, he was so hateful to Hillary, that special comment was the biggest piece of crap I ever heard. He and Mathews were two sexist pigs making up crap about Hillary, two totally insecure men. Rachel played along, no integrity there at all. Totally made up lies. Rachel got quite hateful too, she likes to say she was fair and balanced, but that is totally bull.

These are the same types who are surprised when the monster gets them, while they were running and screaming hysterically in high heeled shoes. they knew the monster was coming, they knew it would “get” them, but for some reason they thought running away would save them.

Yup she started really dissing Hillary the last year on her talk show..everyone on Air America did. They all went at first either for Edwards (yuk, and I always thought yuk!) or Obama. It was total group think. Then lo and behold they got their own talk show on MSNBC! Now they are so surprised that they are disappointed.

It is their seduction method, repeat same over and over and regardless of fact, as the media doth say, it will be so.
