Wolf Blitzer RIGHT NOW

[BayouBengal07]

I dont trust the guy, but he's supposed to have segments on "Cracks in the Alliance" between Britian and America, and and how the economy "may not be as robust as you think".

[southlandshari]

1. I saw that, too

Very interesting promo...I'm staying tuned to see what the story actually is.

[wryter2000]

2. Ya think?

The economy isn't robust? Earth to Blitzer! Earth to Blitzer!

[havocmom]

4. Lou Dobbs finally had a talk with Wolf?

Beat some sense into him?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

3. Actually he said "as robust as the White House might like"

Which says more, because the White House is only interested in whoring the economy in order to re-select the Boy King.

[roguevalley]

5. Josh Bolten of the White House said the budget deficits were 'baked in'

when chimp came to office. Right. Clinton. I just hate these people. They have no shame.

[wicket]

7. he said Bush admin. inherited the recession

I'm so sick of their lies!!!! :grr: :grr:

[redqueen]

9. Baked in?

I've never heard that term before... lol... I love it when they're so transparently desperate.

[Mika]

14. Its baked in the yellow cake

:-)

[loudsue]

19. LOL!!! I can't believe nobody replied to this....

You hit that one on the head!!!

:kick:

[PA Democrat]

12. Was the $200 BILLION he has blown on Iraq "baked in" ?

Or the billions in kickbacks to the pharmaceutical companies and the insurance industry built into the Medicare prescription drug coverage?

Or the tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans?

You are right, they are SHAMELESS.

[MoonRiver]

24. Yes, all baked,

just like AWOL's brain.

[MallRat]

21. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEONE CALL THEM ON THIS!!!

Wolf- this is an easy lie to expose.

Everybody knows that we had budget surpluses when Clinton left office, so who "baked them in?"

[BayouBengal07]

6. Well now they have

John Bolten, the White House Budget Director. He's saying all the bad deficits were alreay "baked in" when Bush came into office. Kerry saying the tax cuts deepened the deficit is just "class warfare".

Sheesh.

[redqueen]

11. Gaaaah

they really are just aiming for the bottom of the barrell now, aren't they?

As bush said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the ones you need to concentrate on."

Here's a sticker idea, pigboy: "Idiots for Bush!"

[Walt Starr]

15. THAT'S A FUCKING OUTRAGE!!!!

We had budget SURPLUSES as far as the eye could see under Clinton.

We were, for the first time in well over a century and a half, looking at the very real possibility of paying off the national debt!!!!!!! It would have happened by 2020 under the budget surpluses begun under the clinton administration!!!!!

8. Probably The Last Segment - Promo It To Death

to keep you watching the entire show...if you can stomach it.

[southlandshari]

18. you are right

it is the last segment - only two more to go (one on the 9/11 commission report, the other on "Kerry ties"). I'm going to stick it out.

The "rift" to be reported between the US and Britain has something to do with weapons, according to the teaser.

[BayouBengal07]

10. Rich people

"are the engine of growth". Give rich people money, and they will trickle jobs down on us.

Super.

[redqueen]

13. Oh no way!

Tell me he did not say that... the consumer dollar is 2/3 of the engine that drives our economy! Those people don't spend it, they put it into investments!

:crazy:

[reprobate]

27. What they trickle down on us is not jobs, it's composed of water....

...with trace elements separated from the body by the kidneys.

[whistle]

16. Wolf Blitzer is a total neo-con right wing freeper....

....he has been on the Sean Hannity show numerous times and every-time he goes on he's pandering to the right wing. I no longer listen to Blitzer, as soon as he's on I switch channels.

[Cheneys_former_heart]

17. Just once, ONCE, would a journalist call them out

even a polite, "The facts do not support your claims, Mr. Bolton. In fact, your response seems to be based in fantasy."
No, instead, day after day these bald faced liar get to spew their crap unhindered by things like "facts" or "journalists". Just keep nodding your head, Wolf, your money's on the dresser.

[polmaven]

22. Speaking of facts..

I will admit that I am not a CPA, or a financial expert, but...please help me out here.

I heard Senator Kerry say he will CUT taxes on the middle class and on small businesses, and roll back the tax cuts on those making more than 200k per year.

How does that translate into raising taxes on small businesses making more than 200k per year? The business is NOT the individual, is it? Am I hearing the Senator incorrectly? If I am not, then the response team needs to point that out, don't they?

[Cheneys_former_heart]

23. You are right, a business is not a person

He will roll back tax cuts on those PEOPLE making 200k or more. The middle class tax cut and the small business tax cut is new and yet to be made specific.

[southlandshari]

20. Did I miss it?

Or is it really going to be the last segment (meaning there is no story to this story)?

The last pre-commercial promo teased three new stories (Kobe Bryant, etc) and nothing about strained ties with Britain.

[BayouBengal07]

25. Why are they showing a Eurofighter

when talking about about American defense contracts?

[Shopaholic]

26. Okay guys--you know what to do. . .

e-mail, call CNN, point out to them the Repug lies in Wolf's "reporting".

[redstateblues]
