June 15, 2010 MSNBC Trashes Obama's Address: Compared To Carter, "I Don't Sense Executive Command"

Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman react to President Obama's Oval Office Address on the oil spill. Here are the highlights of what the trio said:

Matthews compared Obama to Carter.

Olbermann: "Nothing specific at all was said."

Matthews: "No direction."

Howard Fineman: "He wasn't specific enough."

Olbermann "I don't think he aimed low, I don't think he aimed at all. It's startling."

Howard Fineman: Obama should be acting like a "commander-in-chief."

Matthews: Ludicrous that he keeps saying [Secretary of Energy] Chu has a Nobel prize. "I'll barf if he does it one more time."

Matthews: "A lot of meritocracy, a lot of blue ribbon talk."

Matthews: "I don't sense executive command."

I remember that LBJ said when he lost Walter Cronkite [CBS], he lost the country. So, he decided not to run in 1968 ...

Has Obama just lost MSNBC ???

Excuse me, Mr. President. What’s that on the bottom of your shoe? I think you’ve stepped in something.

Un-be-lievable.

Reminded me of sharks feeding in well chummed water.

Obama doesnt get it, and he never will. We do not want to hear about blaming, punishing and demonizing. We want to hear about how this problem will get solved. We want to hear about how we will come together as Americans to solve it together. He has spent his entire life dividing, that the concept yet so simple is completely foriegn to him. What a sad, pathetic Kenyan. Can’t want to see him fail at other enterprises. I am just glad it is only an oil spill, something supposedly he should have been more interested in, than a 9/11 style attack.

“Paul McCartney said to lay off, he likes him.”

And Richard Harris is (still) morose:

MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
‘cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh NO!! (upon which Harris suffers an irreversible gender change)

“The visual of a desk free of a single thing on it was emblematic of his words and his brain.”

I never see anything on his desk, anytime they take a picture of him near it. When they took pictures of Reagan, H.W. Bush, Clinton, and W. Bush, typically you would catch the desk piled with folders and binders. With Obama nothing ever.

"I'm getting tingles up my leg!!"

The end is nigh.

There is a perfectly plausible explanation of this event. One question. Did Olbermann have a goatee or were any of them dressed strangely?

Chu-the genius who wants us to paint our roofs white to fix the imaginary global warming.

Won't we just have to paint them black again in the winter?

Thanks for that, I saw BBK & SRV at the Hollywood Bowl years ago.

I’ll weep again when BB passes.

I am so glad the guy who is pretending to be President feels comfortable putting his shoes up on a historical and highly valued piece of Americana and heritage of our nation.

Thanks, Mr. Precedent.
