New 'Time' Editor: Former Editor Stengel's Move To Obama Admin 'A Natural Extension'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/18/2013 6:14:49 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

A member of the MSM moving to the Obama administration? A "natural extension" indeed! Nancy Gibbs, the new Time editor, has really let the cat out of the bag. Appearing on Morning Joe today, she described the move of her predecessor, Rick Stengel, from Time to a State Department job in the Obama administration, as a "natural extension" for him.

Now it's true that Gibbs couched her remarks in terms of Stengel's role in both jobs being that of telling "America's story around the world." More accurately, Gibbs might have said that Stengel has always seen his job as telling Barack Obama's story in the most favorable light.

When the Devil consolidates his reign, all of his devoted followers unmask themselves and stop proudly to the feet of their master.

From the day Obama got elected I thought he was not up to the POTUS job, vastly under-qualified. I haven't changed my mind.

If the GOP could come up with someone other than a Mormon, we might have had a change of POTUS. A Mormon, good gawd.

Of course it is!

She’s coming from the drek that is the Time, to the wreck that is the Obama Administration.

What’s not to enjoy?

I really don't think his being a Mormon was a significant reason for his defeat.

Yes, it is.

I know many people who just could not vote for a Mormon. Sounds silly, but it is true.

I also know democrats who voted the party choices for the various Congressional races and state offices, but refused to mark that ballot for President Waddles.

Sigh, I know. But, for me, it was the defining factor.
The Mormons think that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers. How skewed, false and blasphemous is that?

As a Stengel he’ll show up in the Obama administration and ask “can’t anybody here play this game?”

I'm a Christian and the Mormons believe that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers. A Mormon for POTUS? ANYone who believes that garbage about Jesus has been brainwashed for stupid and blasphemous.
At first I didn't believe that about Mormons, but I looked it up on their OWN website. They DO believe it.

I also know democrats who voted the party choices for the various Congressional races and state offices, but refused to mark that ballot for President Waddles.
President Waddles? Compared to the Mrs. he is SlimJim. SHE'S the one with the butt as big as the universe. That's why she likes Oprah to hang around with...bigger butt. :o)

But I'm betting you held your nose and voted for him anyway, right?

P.S. I held my nose too (not because he was a Mormon though), but my nose holding days are over. Not voting for any more RINOs ever.

You assume I'm a jerk, right? Gee, thanks. Same to you.

Sometimes I sign the voting card leaving it ALMOST empty. But, then, why would YOU think of that?

I don't know whether you're a jerk or not. (Jury is still out on me, though). But shall I assume that you DIDN'T vote for Romney?

I'm stuck in Massachusetts, where it doesn't matter who I vote for anyway.

No doubt - and the only kind that will be licensed if Feinstein has her way...

Our sitting idiot, Senator Blunt, supports this absurd bill.
