Will ObamaCare cover memory loss? Howard Dean better hope so. On today's Meet the Press he seemed to suffer a serious memory lapse, claiming he had said he would "vigorously" support Pres. Obama's re-election [H/t reader Melody]. Problem is, we have the video of Dean on Morning Joe of December 17th saying just the opposite: that he would "not vigorously" support PBO's 2012 re-election bid. So noteworthy was Dean's "not vigorously" declaration at the time that it caused a gleeful Joe Scarborough to burst into laughter and repeat it. Not a decibel out of Dean to dispute what Joe had...

Here is video of Sen. Joe Lieberman on "Meet the Press" saying "I don't think anybody feels this bill, as Senator Reid put it down, I don't think anybody thinks this bill will pass as it is." Sen. Lieberman said "if the public option is still in there, the only resort we have is to say no." (Video)

Undoubtedly the funniest interview segment that Barry Soetoro has done to date, the George Stephanopholus interview on Sunday 20, 2009, entitled the “Health Care Blitz on every channel except Fox,” had to be hands down funniest. In it President Barry Soetoro attempted to replace the Webster’s Dictionary with his own Orwellian Worldview and definition of what a tax is. I gleefully yelled at the television screen; No, you lie, you lie, you lie as the president straight faced called George Stephanopholus and Webster’s Dictionary a lie. (see transcript) According to the president anyone who uses a reputable source of meaning,...

Civility … Nuance. Just much too much in one short sound bite. NBC’s David Gregory wonders if protesters are budding Tim McVays … Obama calls for civil discourse (I’m sorry?) and then says protesters just want TV time ( I know, I know) …But we start with … “We have examples of anti government violence in the mid 90’s .. do you worry about that?”. Yup … those grandmas and grandpas and housewives I saw … no question … I can see the link between them and Tim McVay. Scary.

Politics: The senator who called the president a liar and never apologized may have worn out his welcome in his home state. Harry Reid may be riding the liberal agenda into political oblivion.In 2004, Republicans defeated Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle largely on the theme that he neglected his home state in favor of national party interests. The GOP is hoping that in 2010 lightning will strike a second time, and Nevada polls indicate it may be more than wishful thinking. In 1998, Reid beat John Ensign by a hair-thin 428 votes. Ensign would go on to win Nevada's other...

When asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” whether Barack Obama had ordered the resignation of green czar Van Jones, White House senior advisor David Axelrod retorted: "Absolutely not -- this was Van Jones' own decision.” Axelrod’s answer is telling. His defiant tone suggests that the thought of firing Jones had never been entertained by President Obama, thus protecting Obama’s image among the radical left. On the other hand, Axelrod’s response might be the product of a special arrangement with Jones – a man who probably knows more than we do about some of Obama’s deepest convictions. Most disturbing however is...

Here is video of NBC's "Meet The Press" talking about the internet and bloggers and the effect it had on Van Jones' resignation. One of the panelists said "the internet is an open sewer of untreated, unfiltered, information." (Watch Video)

Thomas Freidman and Tom Brokaw show that internet journalism simply cannot be trusted if in the end someone on the left is hurt by the news. This video shows what complete disgraces these 2 men are...

snip REP. ARMEY: The Medicare law that was written by the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and the chief lobbyists of Blue Cross/Blue Shield, voted on without amendment as an amendment to Social Security, first imposes severe sanctions on physicians and medical providers that don’t comply with its requirements, and it says to seniors at the age of 65 you can no longer buy the insurance that you bought prior to 65. And now by virtue of an internal memo—not a regulation, not a law—they tell seniors today... MR. GREGORY: All right. REP. ARMEY: ...if you don’t sign...

Here is complete video of today's Meet the Press broadcast which focused the entire hour on the debate over Health Care. The program featured former Dem. Sen. Tom Daschle, former GOP Rep. Dick Armey,GOP Sen. Tom Coburn, and MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow - yes, I said Rachel Maddow. I have no idea why they thought she would fit in with that lineup! . . . . . (Watch Video)

Here is video from Meet the Press today where a panel discussed the latest unemployment numbers and talked about where does the economy go AFTER the temporary stimulus of "Cash for Clunkers" and the $787 Billion Stimulus are spent? The Obama administration has no answer for that. The closest they come is to say that the economy will move forward with "green" jobs from new energy. However, there is no "Cap and Trade" Bill that has been passed as of yet. This discussion gets at a key question. How does Obama think this economy will move forward on its own...

Here is video of a Meet the Press panel today discussing the political future of Gov. Sarah Palin. The panel included Roger Simon, Andrea Mitchell, David Gregory, Bob Shrum, and Karen Hughes. Several on the panel believes she has a chance to win the 2012 Nomination and clearly believe she would be an easy mark for Barack Obama to knock off in the 2012 election. The Democrats seem to all be rooting for her. . . . . . (Watch Video)

Vice President Joe Biden, going further than any other high-ranking American official to date in questioning the validity of last Friday’s election, said Sunday that “there's some real doubt" that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was legitimately re-elected as president of Iran.

Yesterday, Jordan's King Abdullah the Diminutive was interviewed on Meet the Press. Along with his usual discourse of "the Israel/Palestinian issue is the cause of all problems of the world" the King also had some choice words about the "enhanced interrogation techniques that the US practiced the Islamist terrorist. Kind of strange though, since the Hypocritical King is a big proponent of torture in his own country Jordan (the original Palestinian State).... ..King Abdullah, the Hypocritical said definitively that his country does not torture. Since Mr. Gregory would never challenge the King when he is bashing the US, I guess...

THE SHOW "Meet the Press," hosted by David Gregory. WHEN|WHERE Sundays at 10:30 a.m. on WNBC/4 REASON TO WATCH That is the question, and one President Barack Obama apparently asked himself, too, as he bypassed TV's venerable Sunday news institution for another show on the very same network - "The Tonight Show" - where he'll appear tonight to talk about the stimulus package. WHAT IT'S ABOUT The president's decision to slip past "Meet the Press" would seem like a massive diss of new host Gregory - in the job three months - but this is politics, and politics is to...

[video of interview, and Krusty the Clown] The Obama administration is beginning to look like one of those clown cars. The door flies open and dozens of clowns pour out. Christin Romer, the latest clown and chairwoman of the President’s Council of Economic Advisors, attempted to snow host David Gregory on Sunday’s Meet The Press. Gregory wasn’t buying. GREGORY: So back then during the campaign when Senator McCain talked about the strong fundamentals of the economy, it was then-candidate Obama and his team that roundly criticized McCain, saying he was out of touch, he didn’t get it, he didn’t understand...
