Mika's 'Worry': Obama Playing Into Clinton Strategy
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/22/2008 5:10:25 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Not that there was much doubt, but let's make it official: MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski is firmly in the Obama camp. The irrefutable evidence came during today's opening segment of Morning Joe. After Chris Matthews offered a plausible explanation for Obama's "present" votes in the Illinois senate, David Shuster used an apt metaphor to describe Barack's less-than-trenchant rhetorical style.

DAVID SHUSTER: It's in Barack Obama's interest to say it as sharply as you [Matthews] just did, and his inability to sort of navigate in these debates, like the giant aircraft carrier trying to make a turn. If he could make the point as simply as you just did he would be fine but the way he's trying to explain and defend everything, it's like a guy who skis down a hill who makes these wide, swooping turns, and after awhile, you know, that's not, you don't get down very fast that way.

That's when Mika made her allegiance unmistakable.

Mika makes clear she’s an Obama fan. Ping to Today show list.

Have to say; the description/metahor is a very good one.

Agreed. I’m no Shuster fan but it was a perfect metaphor for Obama’s slow and swooping rhetorical style. You feel like grabbing him and saying “cut to the chase, man!”

Sorry, I just can’t stand watching Mika. She is such a show-off actress (for a supposed newsperson)with all her facial expressions. Her brother works for the Obama campaign.

In regards to Shusters’ comment: Hey, Baraks’ only trying to adhere to his Style Sheets. ;o)

He is powerless against Criminal Inc. and their sycophantic enablers. They tag team Barack and have a strategy for every move he might make. Iowa was a wake-up call for The Criminals. They mobilized their pawns rapidly.

Bill’s doing all the ddirty work and the press will never really call him on it. Hill can then never open her mouth and not catch flak.....An effective plan with a willing press.
