Sorry if you don't think it's a fiasco. It is. Either Todd was not actually there conversing with the President, or he was just asleep and woke up only to take the cue from him producers. How can NBC not make a statement or acknowledge this massive blunder?

(23,664 posts)Seems to me like they are trying hard to convince the public that it never happened.. From what I've heard they have doctored the tape and instructed their "liberal" pundits to STFU about it.
And they'll probably be successful. It makes their highly touted new host look like the complete buffoon he is, but in the overall scheme of things it's about as significant as a flea fart.
Not to worry, however, I'm pretty sure it won't be the last gaffe made by Chunky Turd.

(269,067 posts)I can't believe this - indeed he should have been fired for lying about what the President said and in the presence of said President. I can't believe how this is being ignored.

(15,438 posts)They tout the GOP agenda and narrative, and Chuck Toad's incredibly stupid choice to not deviate from the script his GOP handlers e-mailed to him and what made him look like the glazed-eye GOP-hack that he is that morning will be swept under the rug and hushed.
"But, but, BUT - oh lookie!" cries Andrew Mitchell to Cris "GOP" Cilliza this morning. "The PRESIDENT'S APPROVAL NUMBERS ARE LOW, LOW, LOW!! And he's going to take all the Democrats DOWN with him! His low, low, LOW approval numbers are going to hurt Democrats and up the chances of Republicans winning back the Senate - YIPPEEEE! Oh. Did I say that out loud?"
Of course, the fact that the approval numbers of campaigning Republicans are even lower than that of the president isn't even briefly discussed. Not even in whispers.

(11,641 posts)more than Democrats on keeping America safe according to some poll. He said there was a 38 point difference.
Guess he and those people polled forgot who was in charge on 9/11, got us into a war based on lies, sullied the American brand with torture and indefinate detainment, plunged the country into debt and a mild deppression etc, etc.......

(33,497 posts)"Obama can be a tough interview. He can go on and on, parsing and re-parsing his arguments, and Todd, like most interviewers, hewed toward politeness by not interrupting at least not too much."
No mention in the review about the Syria fiasco by Todd.
