"Nobody's afraid of Obama (in DC) he's kind of a shape shifter, " |
|
Source: Morning Joe Show on Msnbc
David Shuster, political reporter, talking on MSNBC " Morning Joe" show with Scarboro just said "nobody's afraid of Obama, he's kind of a shape shifter, one of the "Potomac Tribe", in answer to discussion about candidates talking change in Washington.
No link yet.
Not a glowing recommendation for the electorate which does want big change in Washington DC.

1. The electorate doesn't want "big change"? |
|
I don't understand that last sentence. Are you referring to Republicans alone or the country as a whole?

2. Nothing wrong with that - I see it as a good quality if he can get things done. |
|
The ability to speak to all people, whether they agree with you or not, and persuade them to compromise with others is rare and is the mark of a true leader.
Making people afraid is NOT good leadership.

5. another word for it is "spineless Dem" |
|
Obama and his pals in DC don't think we have a right to ask them for anything. They've become conditioned to not ask for anything, to not expect anything.
You won't get change from someone who never asks for it and never sticks to their argument.

4. We don't need anyone to make nicey-nice with the Bush Crime Family |
|
and the neo-cons. It doesn't work. They've stolen what they want, and we're going to have to take it back from them.
Restore the Constitution and the Bill of Rights! Restore the Republic! Put the criminals in jail!

6. Well that decides it for me then! I never use my own brains |
|
I completely rely on M$M talking heads!! They know everything and have the best interests of the people first and foremost. As I don't watch any TV ever, I must give you my undying gratitude for setting me straight. I'll run and change my avatar immediately.
Again, thank you sooo much.

7. Since when is Obama part of the "Potomac Tribe"? |
|
He has barely even been in the Senate. Yeah, uh that makes him part of the old boys club in Wahington, huh?

10. I think that Shuster got "shape shifter" from Dana Milbank's book. |
|
It covers Milbank's definitions of groups or tribes of politicians. Haven't read it. Won't.
