On his debut as NBC 'Meet the Press' host 9/7/2014, Chuck Todd grills President Obama: - Are you preparing the country to go back to war? - You realize you're giving that speech (Wednesday) the day before the 13th anniversary of 9/11. - ISIS is not a JV team. Was that bad intelligence or your misjudgment? - You've ruled out boots on the ground. And I'm curious, have you only ruled them out simply for domestic political reasons? Or is there another reason you've ruled out American boots on the ground? Because your own-- your own guys have said, "You can't defeat ISIS with air strikes alone." - I got a somewhat snarky email from a-- from a casual viewer who said, "The United States gives a lotta military aid to Saudi Arabia. It's about time they use it." What do you say to that? - Did you-- did you see those messages they sent to you, naming you, when they-- when they-- when they beheaded those American journalists? - They sent messages addressing you personally. Did you watch 'em? - I got to ask, so-- so during that vacation, you made the statement on Foley. You went and golfed. Do you-- do you want that back? - Not surprisingly, I'm getting a little bit of hot signs. So let me get you to this last question here. I've had former aides of yours, plenty of supporters of yours, say to me, "He looks exhausted." And understandable, lot going on. This is not-- been a rough year. Are you exhausted? CHUCK TODD: You've not said the word, "Syria," so far in our conversation. Obviously, if you're going to defeat ISIS, you have used very much stronger language. It's gone through the week during your trip to Wales. You got

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
And I would be even remotely interested in watching this why?
I had Meet the Press on during the entire show, with my computer on as well.
Technically I believe I “saw” the entire interview, but I honestly can’t recall a single thing which was said.
Total waste of time.
Well I am glad they put Meet the depress at 5am in the morning on Sunday morning here in SO CAL
The people love him because he’s done a great job.And he was disappointed that he had been caught golfing just after the PC about the beheaded news man.
pass. I’ll only listen to Obama if he appears on Fox’s Sunday show and even then it will still be torture.
Naw, I’ve got a 29” waist.....don’t think there is any reasonable reason.
Was that TOTUS down to his lower left?
He seemed to be reading off TOTUS placed down to his lower left the entire time. Blah Blah ... glance lower left and read .... blah blah .... glance lower left and read more ....
And the rare times he was speaking extemporaneously, he was searching, searching, searching for words ... with those advance hand gestures ... then a glance ... then what the hand gesture was supposed to mean.
I know this isn’t breaking news, but the guy is really not very bright.
That’s why I’m pretty sure he doesn’t come up with his agenda. It’s never been Obama pulling any levers. There’s a lever on the back of his head, others pull it, and then he looks at TOTUS and reads what they wrote for him, this guy they hired and groomed long ago to be their spokemodel.
Lost 60#, do miss the doughnuts.
Those Hard questions deserved the soft answers, and Chuck Todd’s career is over....Fini....
How dare the Liberals ask such questions.........my..my..
Maybe Chuck Todd is part of the answer to that question. He just doesn't seem capable of asking a follow up question in search of a comprehensive answer.
