Must-see TV - and it's about Obama!
From Politico (which is a major right-wing blog):
Republicans invited Obama to appear at their annual conference; the president accepted — and then surprised them by asking that cameras and reporters be allowed into the room.
Republicans immediately agreed to the request, but they may be regretting it now.
Again and again, Obama turned the Republicans questions against them — accusing them of obstructing legislation for political purposes and offering solutions that won’t work.
From everything I've read, Obama just decimated them. This is what I want from my president. Tonight from 8-10PM on MSNBC Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and (unfortunately) Chris Matthews will be replaying the whole Q&A - not in sound bytes but in long segments - and then, as KO said in blog, "cutting back to the studio to see which one of our jaws can drop the closest to the floor." Ha!
God, I hope this change of tactic is permanent, and Obama and the Dems stop running and acquiescing to what is right-wing propaganda. I've read a quote where he calls them on their bullshit about portraying healthcare reform as a Bolshevik plot to endanger the country. Yes!
I was psyched for Caprica and Dollhouse tonight, but this . . . this is real life. It's more than real life - it's history playing out right in front of us. I wouldn't miss it for the world.
