Obama to appear on Meet the Press Sunday, for the full hour.

[jefferson_dem]

*** One more plug: Obama will be on Meet the Press for the full hour this Sunday. Tim Russert will travel to Indianapolis to sit down with the Democratic front-runner for the live interview, taking place on the even of what could be the most significant primaries of the campaign season. Set your TiVOs now if for some reason you haven't yet clicked "season pass" for Meet the Press.

1. That will be one of the highest rated shows ever...

I would bet.

[Eurobabe]

2. I'll need the clothespins to watch FatTimmeh for an hour

I cannot stand him. :puke:

[AllexxisF1]

3. Russett I believe will not be looking to take down Obama.

I think this can be a good thing for Obama but he will need to get his A game up. A full hour of drilling questions with POSTITIVE GOOD ANSWERS may put alot of this crap to rest once and for all.

What do you all think? too risky?

[grantcart]

6. I agree he will want to be fair and relevant

[Cosmocat]

22. Yeah, OK ...

The MSM meme right now is that that Obama hasn't been "truly vetted" ...

Pig Russert, SOMEHOW has gained a certain level of gravitas with the DC insider media, and he is NOT going to do anything other than hammer at BO ... He will treat him as he does with any other D, disdain, and he will be even more coniving and determined, to try to be the one who brought BO down ...

Anyone who thinks the Pig is going to be anything other than take BO down mode is being niave ...

8. I like this ... a lot.

I want the ball in Obama's hands as the game winds down. He'll do us proud.

[SoonerPride]

10. Russert will be tough, but Obama can hold his own

Russert specializes in catching flipflops, where3 one time someone says X then later they say Y.

Obama hasn't done that, so he should be fine.

14. GE/NBC/MSGOP are in full Obama restoration mode. They want to ensure a McCain victory in Nov.

People, WAKE UP!!!!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

18. The hits keep coming.

:rofl:

[IDemo]

17. Tim Russert of UFO questions for Kucinich and pot legalization for Gravel?

I'll be very surprised if he hasn't lined up a few zingers.

[KittyWampus]

4. Hey Tim, how about showing up Stephenopoulus and doing The Right Thing

[rocktivity]

5. Well, if Chris "Stimpy" Wallace couldn't deliver the death blow

maybe "Mister Potato Head" can.

:eyes:

[KittyWampus]

9. it may well be that a few journalists & their networks will try to make ABC/Stephenopoulus look bad

by really doing a tough but FAIR interview.

[YEM]

7. "um... er.. ah..ah...um...er... ah"

[jefferson_dem]

11. "Shame on you," YEM!

"I'll see you on Election Day"!

[SoonerPride]

16. I'd rather have someone who thinks about what they are saying

Instead of repeating some canned and rehearsed response.

When Obama speaks, you can see a lightbulb inside his head. The man actually thinks..... then speaks.

I find it refreshing.

[npincus]

13. too thoughfrul for you? Not enough memorizing sniper tall tales?

[ErinBerin84]

20. I'll concede that I expect Obama to

do some yammering and stammering this Sunday on Meet the Press, but Hillary also did her trademark "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!" in response to some of the more "uncomfortable" questions that Tim Russert threw her way the last time she was on Meet the Press. Still, I'm pretty sure that I find both Hillary and Obama's "quirks" less annoying than the prospect of having to hear John McCain tell me that I am his "friend" for at least four years.

[Hope And Change]

12. K & R!

:kick:

[NewJeffCT]

15. I can just see it now

Can I follow-up on the question if Rev. Wright loves America as much as you do?

After you were asked about flag pins at the last debate, I see you're still not wearing one. Why do you hate our flag?

Do you wear boxers or briefs?

The RNC ran an ad in North Carolina that said you were afraid to stand up to gangs in Chicago. How can you protect us from the terrorists then?

John McCain is such an awesome American and a maverick and a moderate. How can you compete against a true American hero?

Will you denounce the DNC for running their false ad using John McCain's own words about stayin in Iraq for 100 years?

[Larkspur]

19. I hope Obama doesn't throw Democrats and liberals under the bus like he did on Faux News

I'm still pissed at him for his poor Faux News performance.

21. First Read on MSNBC is a good start to the day - had this info on it this morning....
