MSNBC Anchor Frets: Why Hasn’t Obama’s Election Ended Terrorism ?

File this one under “Deluded Expectations.” During MSNBC’s coverage of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, on Thursday, daytime anchor Alex Witt seemed frustrated that the election of Barack Obama 23 days earlier — and the accompanying “global outpouring of affection, respect, hope” — had not caused an end to terrorist violence.

Talking with correspondent John Yang, who was covering the Obama side of the story, Witt conceded that while “you certainly can’t expect things to change on a dime overnight....There had been such a global outpouring of affection, respect, hope, with the new administration coming in, that precisely these kinds of attacks, it was thought — at least hoped — would be dampered down. But in this case it looks like Barack Obama is getting a preview of things to come.”

One thing I’ve learned about the U.S., stupid never takes a holiday

Or as Ron White would say, "You can't fix stupid. Stupid is for-evah."

[Lazamataz]

Is there a chance this man can be indicted for Serial Aggravated Stupidity, Third Degree?a

It's a felony with 25-35 years in lockup.

[SolidWood]

The bossy and boneheaded - torte law, politics or journalism.

Except Sarah Palin. ;o)

[teacherbarbie]

Sounds like they think Obama is secretly a muslim and could tell his “brothers” to cool it.

Since I never watch MSNUMB I thought Alex Witt was a he also.

All to be expected, based in their worldview.

All problems will be solved when the right people are put in charge with enough power to implement their vision.

[aculeus]

Terrorism will stop. So will global warming, homelessness, poverty, cancer, acne, etc.

[Jack Hammer]

Kumbayah.... yup, we’ll just make nice-nice and all the violence will just go away.

Can’t we all just get along?

[Jeff Gordon]

actually expect that The One’s election would mean terrorists hanging up their bomb belts, peace around the world, lions lying down with lambs, and so forth.

There was the woman at the Obama rally who fully expected that Obama would pay her mortgage and buy her gas. There was that Gallup poll that showed a majority of the Obama voters were ignorant about current affairs and policies. There was the Howard Stern man-in-the-street interviews who said they were voting for Obama because of things that McCain was advocating.

Conclusion. Obama disciples are dumb asses.

[Arizona Carolyn]

How does she (and Deepak Chopra who spewed idiocies on CNN over the length of the seige)explain all the terrorist attacks we endured during the 8 years Clinton was President?

[Jeff Gordon]

Okay, John Yang there in Chicago, following President-elect Barack Obama’s Thanksgiving Day dinner having been interrupted by all of this news from Mumbai. John, thank you very much.

How dare those awful terrorists to interrupt the Chosen One's dinner, much less his Thanksgiving Dinner.

You want hope and change? Just read my book ... and jump on a unicorn ... and ...

Maybe, she should get used to wearing a burqa.

It’s hard to believe that anyone in America is this incredibly stupid.

Actually, in order to qualify for the "stupid" label, one needs to first have a brain.

People like that MSNBC anchor are just brainless.

[Badeye]

Alex Witt displays the qualities that keep on on weekend/holiday duty for the lowest ranked cable news channel available.

She’s dumber than a fence post, and as wide as a barn door if you ever see her without the huge desk hiding her backside.

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

Alex Witt = The lights are on, but nobody’s home.

Alex Witt = Gates down, lights are flashing....but the trains not coming..

[vpintheak]

Obama part the waters...Obama cool the world...obama stop the seas from rising...obama save us...obama free us...obama make the peace....
