I'm so tired of this media crap
Now Richard Wolf wrote a book talking about the strain between Obama and Biden. We rarely hear the good stuff.

1. I heard something about that book coming out -
if it's true, then he never should have asked Joe to be his VP... he knew what he was getting.

But if it's not true - then this administration needs to do more to stop the rumors.

2. Supposedly
Biden said something to Jarrett (?) about she should be in the Senate. Afterwards Obama (supposedly) told Joe that it wasn't funny and "don't do it again". If that is true, I don't think much of Obama for speaking to Joe in that manner AND it never should have gotten out to the public.

I would really like to see the WH be more supportive of their VP, instead of reinforcing the perception that he is a big joke.

3. I am so with you.
You know how Biden went to Kosovo? I read that Obama then asked him to go to Lebanon because of the elections coming up.. Biden wasn't originally scheduled to go there. Yep, good ole Joe is great for things like that, isn't he?

I heard about the Jarret story too. She just laughed it off.

Since Obama is so disciplined, and so on message, you would think that he wouldn't want all this gossip surrounding his presidency.

This is probably a discussion we should be having on fb... I have alot to get off my chest... but not tonite, got to get off the computer for the nite.




:crazy:

4. Jarrett said it was ridiculous and not true.
People want to put something between them, but they seem to get along fine.

7. Once again
instead of REPORTING the news, the media is MAKING news up.

Lately Big Ed seems to be the only one who is staying away from the crap-style reporting.

5. So - the media is reporting about the teleprompter joke, but not his trip to Kosovo.
or anything else he has been doing.

Okay - that makes total sense!

8. Actually that joke was funny
and it was making fun of the right-wing making fun of Obama.

9. It was very funny. Joe has a good sense of humor as does Obama.
Of course, the MSM does not. And Joe was making fun of the right wing's obsession with the teleprompter but that is over their heads, of course.

11. Well, whenever Joe opens his mouth
they don't listen to what he's saying, they're looking for a gaffe! Our MSM is pathetic.

13. It's as if our msm is modeling themselves after the National Enquirer.
It's become non-stop gossip.

15. God lets hope so
There has to be something in the book more interesting than a Biden joke.
