Hee hee--Chuck Todd is taking viewer questions for tomorrow's presser with Obama!

[rocktivity]

At the last press conference, Chuck said the financial crisis was caused by "consumer overspending," and Obama said, I don't agree with that premise." I guess he's being more careful now--he told Rachel Maddow that he's collecting questions on his web site, and compared the vetting of the questions to Olympic scoring: "They throw out the low and the high; I'm throwing out the right and left and going with partisan questions." Good luck, Chuck...

1. HAHAHAHA, Chuck the Tool holds true to his style. WOW. Laughed out loud at that one. Thanks! ;)

2. .....................

Yes, I'm taking questions

[FrenchieCat]

3. Did you figure out how AIG works yet?

Last I saw on C-Span, at a conference, you admitted to not understanding how it worked,
even after you had read up on it?

Lost opportunity, because you could have asked me.

5. Throwing out the right and the left and continuing on to ask only partisan ?'s makes a ton of sense.

15. No you aren't. You're just a hit and run tool. n/t

4. Can't he come up with his own queries?

Does he have to ask the peanut gallery for them?

6. "President Obama, do you think the M$M is out of touch with Main Street?"

"President Obama, do you think the M$M has on too many Republican whores? After all, they lost two elections in a row, so it's obvious that few people really care about what they have to say."

7. This just excuses him

from whatever lame question he chooses to ask...

8. Todd has been an awful WH reporter

His questions to Gibbs are embarrassments almost daily and his opinion segments seem to be more about wish fulfillment than anything. I can't imagine that NBC is happy with his work. Or maybe they are.

9. Chuckie Boy Todd has been getting better lately....

.... more supportive of the President than not (not that a reporter should be necessarily, but you know what I mean.)

I think he's figured out that the President is more popular with the American people than he is. Perhaps Shuster clued him in after HE figured it out. :)

10. Here's what I suggested:

Chuck, to be consistent with your often brilliant, deep-into-the-issues analysis, how about asking if President Obama would characterize his 60-minutes laugh as a guffaw, chuckle, or tickle? This question will continue your march towards the greats of journalism such as Murrow and Cronkite

11. Rookyesque form so far......Chuckie needs some experience....he should cover the Queen

[ErinBerin84]

12. he!

When I saw him talking about it last night on Rachel, I definitely thought of all of you guys, and "Oh, it's because he has been asking some stupid questions lately and doesn't want to embarrass himself!"

[rocktivity]

13. Well, Chuckie sure enough didn't let us down

he asked if the American people were sacrificing enough in these tough economic times!

:rofl:

14. That was so braindead

Yeah, Chuck. Maybe the unemployed can give up their desserts as a sacrifice.

Chuck is way out of touch.
