Of the Big Three evenings newscasts for Thursday, July 17, only ABC's World News failed to mention that President Obama was attending two fundraisers in New York City as previously planned despite the day's events: a downed Malaysia Airlines jetliner in Ukraine and Israel sending ground forces into the Gaza Strip.

CBS's Major Garrett mentioned in passing the president flying to New York for a fundraiser and a "political event," while NBC White House correspondent Chris Jansing noted her exchange with White House officials about the planned fundraiser and if the president would proceed with his attendance. The relevant transcript follows the page break (emphasis mine):

Nothing to see here, folks. Move on.

People had better get used to it because Obama is becoming more obstinate by the day and doesn’t care what anyone thinks or says.

Well, Chris Jansing, I hope your recent tax returns are in order.

In truth the President is irrelevant. Putin laughs at him. He has repeatedly dissed the Israeli government so they won’t listen to him. He might as well do fun-d-raising and vacations. Obama has no credibility nor trust left in the bank. He is done.

Has Barry attended as many or more fund raisers than rounds of golf he has played? Anybody know the numbers?

I would say that's gotta be a toss-up.

How about this one: Which is higher?
1)Number of fund raisers attended.
2)Number of golf games.
3)Mooche's weight.

He’s overwhelming the system. There is too much treachery to keep up with. He has plenty of time to play because there are always more things in the works. He’s not a micro manager and others are doing the dirty work behind the scenes.

I am not saying he is not dangerous. On the international scene he has no credibility. Stay home I say. Drink beer. Play pool. Whatever.

I seem to recall Chris Jansing was kinda hot back in the day. Haven’t watched her station in many years. Anyone have any opinion about how she’s looking these days? Would Laz hit it?

Good for Chris Jansling. Is Major Garret's example catching on with some MSM reporters?
