Quite extraordinary: after 30 years of presidents strengthening powers of exec branch, POTUS is giving some of that power back to Congress.

1. Well Chuck, 10 years ago George W Bush went to congress 1st too.

All applaud Obama for following the effing law.

What a joke.

[snappyturtle]

2. Fitting...considering the source....

:stupid: (sometimes I think we need a smilie for this sentiment)

[malaise]

3. He also said the Vietnam war was 20 years ago

4. I'm not a Chuck Todd fan, but that is accurate.

This is extraordinary and it does set a precedent. It does reduce the power of the office of the Presidency through that new precedent.

5. Fuck the Chuck

Everything he ever says about Obama is with either a smirk or a snark. That's not only unprofessional, but very immature.

6. They keep trying to pin the blame of Iraq on the Dems

for not unilaterally opposing his invasion and occupation.

Of course, they would have been to blame (oh, wait, "they already are!&quot for any catastrophes in Iraq.

7. Chuck Todd is a Corporate tool.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

8. yes

10. Most reporters are corporate tools. Notice how they all tried to get their guests to speak

against what the President decided? Wolf and Andrea were really hurt

[polichick]

11. Like almost all the "leaders" he covers.

9. One could hope it was also the "79% of the American people" that had some effect on the Executive

Branch power grip. Is it old-fashioned to believe that BOTH the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch still have to answer to we citizen voters? This is not the Lord of the Manor and His Court vs. the Peons any longer.
