One almost has to feel sorry for Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt. He showed up on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 yesterday probably expecting the type of softball questions that MSNBC hosts would toss at him. Instead, Anderson Cooper took a page from Cory Booker's criticism of "nauseating" attacks on private equity firms such as Bain Capital and kept asking LaBolt how the Obama campaign can criticize Bain while simultaneously raising funds from the same type of companies.
The clearly unprepared LaBolt spent the interview filibustering with a flurry of words that were designed not to answer the questions about the obvious fundraising hypocrisy by the Obama campaign. Watch LaBolt as he filibusters his way to the end of the interview without giving any answers:

O’Reilly is constantly running interference for obama. Always propping him up with an excuse - “they all do it”. O’Reilly is not too bright if he doesn’t see through obama.
You know your’e toast when the MSM stops covering for you.
“I suspect the powers that be are getting ready to change figureheads.”
I’m seeing the same thing.
Good for Cooper. Hopefully, he’ll keep up his newly found balanced approach for the remainder of the election season. I think after watching Europe collapse, the real possibility of full out socialism in the U.S. is starting to scare some of them.
Lefties have migrated to MSNBC. Non-Lefties watch FOX, and Fox has more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined.
CNN needs to find their niche, and that niche may be to attempt to out-"fair and balance" Fox and go for the middle.
Ben LaBolt...... This dufus spokesman won’t be back on TV anytime soon. But I believe there is an opening to become Bammy Boy’s body man since Reggie Love quit
BS. I was Fox deprived for two days at a Motel 6 last week and had to watch CNN with the crawl "Authorities: Zimmerman could have avoided Martin attack" for an entire day.
John Boener should thank Anderson for being ‘fair’ for once and offer Mr Cooper his choice of Republican to interview. Our side can stand up to that type of questioning. It might start something. Otherwise the media can keep interviewing the likes of McGramnesty.
That is because of our ill-named ‘education system.’
People aren’t ‘educated’ anymore, they are indoctrinated.
They aren’t taught the basic principles of economics, capitalism, free enterprise or personal responsibility. They ‘expect’ the government to step in like a playground nanny and make everything ‘fair’ and no danger.
The people of yesteryear wanted only a chance, the people of today want guaranteed outcomes. Kids today graduating think that they will become Facebook Millionaires or get six figure salaries right out of the starting gate. The only reason we haven’t gone down the drain as a nation at this point is because there are still people who remember their basic civics and religious teachings.............
Same here. Obama has turned into a liability. Worse, they may see him as getting too uppity and not knowing his place.
I was about the change the channel when he blirts out all we get from this guy is a song and dance, he never answers a question. My question for him do you or dont your support the OWS, YES OR NO. He says he will have a segment on Obamahabs positions tonight.
Wow. I can’t believe Cooper. LeBolt sounds like Carney, completely unprepared for any question outside the script.
Anderson Cooper, James Carville and others aren’t trying to be “fair and balanced”. They’re screaming as loud as they can at the Obama campaign, hoping to wake them up to how bad they are doing before it’s too late.
What! BOR numbers are falling? Except for GRETA, FAUX is entirely shut out here.
ratings are plummeting....
Of course it was a news journalist tournament so the categories resembled, "What's Your Favorite Color" and "Numbers Between 1 And 10" so only Wolf Blitzer has had to be loaned money to continue in Final Jeopardy.
I couldn’t stand CNN and I still can’t stand CNN, but I now deplore Fox and I refuse to watch it.
Newt was spot on.
Thanks PJ-Comix.
