Two Very Different ABC Interviews: Charlie Gibson w/Obama vs. Charlie Gibson w/Palin [Repost]

ABC "News"

[Twinkie]

Did old Charlie ask Obama the earth shattering question that everyone wants to know . . “Senator, which do YOU wear? Boxers or briefs?”

” Liberals, as a group, are godless, immoral, arrogant, ignorant and hateful. “

And they seek to make the abnormal normal thereby destroying the decency and respect for each other this country was built upon.

No, but he did ask Obama if he needed a pillow.

Better yet, would be a splice of the actual interviews with just the question.

That would be a great FoxNews play. On the other hand, you or I could be famous on youtube if we had the skills/tools of which I do not.

I hope you’re right. I prefer an in-your-face approach. The question is; will she do it?

I am surprised that Gibson didn't ask Obama a real tough questions like “briefs or boxers”?

Hey, when you spend that much time kissing someone's ass, there are some questions you don't HAVE to ask :)

[Gandalf_The_Gray]

,,,they have in fact showed how intellectually weak Obama is.The fact that our media refuses to ask Obama any serious tough questions should be a wake-up call to the electorate.

Sorry, that is a 'negative premise' which is a logical fallacy. If you beat a large drum to keep thunderstorms away and there are not T-storms while you are doing it, it does not prove your original assertion is correct. Correlation is not causation.

The good news is that most people do not study formal logic and therefore accept the fallacy easily if it reinforces their previously held beliefs. In other words, you are 'preaching to the choir'!

You forgot this excerpt:

Gibson: Barack, I love you my precious leader!

Obama: I love you too my child. Please get me some grapes and bow before me.

(snip)
Gibson: Gov. Palin, why are you a moose hunting fascist with no experience for the Vice Presidency?

Palin: Why Charlie, is that a middle-age bulge or are you just happy to see me?

Wish I could professionally splice a video version. Any Freepers on top of this? Definitely deserves to be presented on YouTube and spliced ABC”News”-style, the way they spliced the Palin interview.

[quesney]

“Look - I thought the Gibson interview with Palin was condescending, but let’s be rational about this...This interview with Obama was after he clinched the nomination after a 12 month battle. That’s not when you ask hard-hitting policy questions - Obama had his positions questioned and he explained them throughout the debates...The Palin interview, on the other hand, was her first major interview. I don’t expect “How does your mom feel about this?” type questions when she hasn’t faced a single interview regarding policy....Listen - Gibson was a d*ck and the editing was purposefully, but to compare these two interviews is a false exercise.

And, again, show me one interview of either Obama or Biden (besides that of FoxNews/O’Reilly) that was anything like the Palin interview.

Let’s be clear: I think interviews should be tough. They are revealing and help us make more informed decision. I would like to see such tough interviewing of Obama/Biden. That’s my only point.

[TexasNative2000]

Fair enough. I saw your new thread and I agree with you.

[quesney]

I used to like Charlie Gibson — a lot — back in his GMA days. I haven’t watched ABC News in years. Didn’t recognize him. For one thing, he’s fat.

GIBSON (To Obama): Are you comfortable? Can I get you a pillow?
OBAMA: No, I’m fine, thank you.
GIBSON: Are you thisty, can I get you a glass of water?
OBAMA: I have a bottle of water right here, thank you.
GIBSON: Is that chair comfy? We can bring in an Easy-Chair if you want.
OBAMA: No, this chair is just fine, thank you.
GIBSON: Are these lights too bright, do they hurt your eyes?
OBAMA: No, the lighting is just fine, thank you.
GIBSON: Has my staff treated you well?
OBAMA: Yes, everything’s been wonderful, thank you.
GIBSON: Was the town car we sent comfortable? Did you need a stretch limo for the ride back?
OBAMA: No, my hotel is only a few blocks away. The town car is fine, thank you.
GIBSON: Did you have any trouble checking into the hotel or getting a cab because you are black in America?
OBAMA: No, everything’s been great - but my wife complains about this issue in her thesis
GIBSON: Yes, our country is racist and we need socialized healthcare.
OBAMA: Well, um, there, er, is no question that, um, that there is a healthcare, eh, crisis, in, uh, America. Too many, uh, Americans, um, are having, er, difficulties, uh, obtaining, ah, affordable, um, health care. And that is something, um, that we, uh, thay as Americans, um, we must all, er, work together, um, to, you know, um to strive, um, to correct.
GIBSON: Thank you very much for appearing on our program.
OBAMA: You’re welcome. Thanks for having me.
GIBSON: No, the pleasure is all mine, really.

Fascinating!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.
