Barack Obama accuses Sen. Clinton of being evasive..but that's what he was on the Today show

[journalist3072]

Matt Lauer was trying to get Barack Obama to say whether or not he believes we are headed towards a recession. It was a yes or no question, and Obama would not answer it.

Lauer called him on it, too, and reminded Obama it was a yes/no question: do you believe we are headed towards a recession.

So while Obama is continuously claiming Sen. Clinton ducks the tough questions (he's saying this as I listen to him right now on the podcast of Tavis Smiley's PRI show), Barack Obama is becoming what he rallies against.

1. Did you not get the memo?

Hillary Clinton is the only acceptable target of villification here in the friendly confines. You are clearly a racist as well as a corporate whore enabler.

2. not true

to hell with the lot of them: Hil, John, Bill, Barry, Joe and Chris they all dissemble and try to have it both ways, because 'omg' if they are wrong...

4. He can't do that. Edwards will have a "Parse" vid up in an 1/2 hour.

Only Edwards is allowed to use weasel words. Just ask DU.

5. This is a joke, right?

Are we heading toward a recession is an opinion, not a policy position. Big fucking difference; not surprised Hillary supporters wouldn't get this.

6. Why does one have to believe we are or we aren't? Smart people would say neither.

What a stupid question. Why should one believe or not believe such a thing? Economics is like weather forcasting.
