Chuck Todd just said on Hardball that our President runs the risk of appearing cocky

[Top Cat]

Chuck fucking Todd is soooooo jealous of President Obama that he's true colors are showing.

[aquamarina]

1. And comments like this is exactly why I no longer watch cable or network news.

Where is the "newsworthiness" in stupid commentary like this?

[Top Cat]

9. I know I am sick of the MSM and there bullshit

[MADem]

11. Concur--if I wanted to hear uninformed assholes bloviate, I can find that at the barber shop or

the bench in front of town hall.

And speaking of "cocky"--who told that asswipe that the facial hair he sports looks good?

:rofl:

[rvablue]

16. He needs that goatee. Otherwise his face would look as young and naive as his BS commentary. n/t

[MADem]

25. I think you're on to something. nt

[DangerousRhythm]

2. Haha, it certainly seems that way!

He never has a nice word to say and he always looks so... I don't know, bored maybe? Ugh.

[opihimoimoi]

3. His questions reveal his Level....not ready for Prime Time....a wannabe for sure

[alsame]

4. Well, Chuck already

appears stupid. All day he's been talking about how the President is still in 'campaign mode'.

[ShortnFiery]

5. IMO, Chuck Todd is sort of "an open JOKE" not unlike Joe Scarborough, Jim Cramer and Ed Henry.

I don't sweat his half baked commentary but sincere thanks for keeping us informed of these self-absorbed pseudo-journalists. :hi:

[geckosfeet]

6. In the words of the king of cocky, "bring it on" and "mission accomplished".

[ClarkUSA]

7. He's pissed because he wasn't chosen during any of the G20 press conferences.

[Cha]

27. Yeah, and seeks to ooze his

venom immediately.

[ClarkUSA]

31. He even wrote about this on his First Read blog over at MSNBC News.

What a fool.

[Cha]

32. A fool that needs to be held

accountable.

[ClarkUSA]

42. Thanks for his email. Everyone on this thread should also respond on his blog (link).

[Cha]

47. Thanks for

that link, Clark.

[Renew Deal]

57. So he could ask another stupid f"n question

"Mr. President does the recession keep you busy?"

Yes Chuck. NEXT!

[JitterbugPerfume]

8. I have never liked Chuck Todd

he is the one who is cocky

[LiberalFighter]

33. Yep! He is acting cocky considering his resume is slim.

[bliss_eternal]

10. Not enough bowing and scraping from the colored guy....

...for him, apparently.

Quick someone get the memo to the President to throw in stuff like,"Yes, sir boss..." when he talks to the white dudes, so they'll feel better about themselves.

:eyes:

[HopeOverFear]

18. Alright now

you're speaking too much truth right there, you'd better watch it... :rofl:

[bliss_eternal]

24. lol.

:hi:

Comments like that are rather transparent, to me at least.

[Binka]

64. lol

Transparent indeed! Firefox comes to mind.

[jenmito]

12. Yeah-he's "walking a fine line between confidence and cockiness"

or something close to that. And he kept talking about how it looks like Obama's in "campaign mode." No-it's called being a REAL president!

[Top Cat]

21. Thanks you... I'm sorry to say Todd thought Bush was a real Pres

Chuck Todd is a freakin idiot

[Rashel]

13. If there's anyone cocky (and creepy) it's Chuck Todd

[watrwefitinfor]

14. Here, Chuckie. This is a president appearing Cocky.

[Top Cat]

22. hahaha

[LiberalFighter]

34. How about the times that Bush acted like the fools jester?

You know... Bush and Todd would both look good with the court jester's costume. I bet all the G20 members would appreciate it too.

[Thrill]

15. Check it out. I had a thread about him this morning

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=8317614&mesg_id=8317614

[Kerrytravelers]

17. After eight years of a fake cowboy swagger, they think Obama is anywhere near cocky?

I guess competence equals cockiness in their narrow minds.

[Stinky The Clown]

19. Why would he be jealous?

He might be a little boy in awe of his trip with the varsity.

In fact, that's exactly how he comes off to me ... but jealous?

Why?

[ladym55]

20. And Chuck Todd runs the risk of looking like an idiot

Oh, wait! Too late!

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

23. "Chuck, is it possible that some people might think PO reminds them of the nerd

who won the Science Fair in sixth grade? That's who he reminds me of. That kid with his with homemade seismograph and spewing volcano that totally eclipsed your (my)bean spout display? I mean, it's nice to be smart and all, but is that really the image America wants to project in this time of global insecurity? Would it be better to have a dumb guy who's not afraid to throw a rock? What do you think, Pat?"

This kind of drivel is what passes for "commentary".

[Cha]

26. Cocky chuckie said

WHAT!?

Chuck Todd [e-mail]

[Grateful for Hope]

28. I am beginning to think

that the only news worth watching is the local news. Local news is just that -- news.

I am sick of sensationalism. And, I hate to say it, but even Keith and Rachel are a little guilty of this. Cable news is entertainment, not news.

[wisteria]

39. I feel the same way anymore and think MSNBC is the Liberal version of Fox News.

There is no real back and forth, no in depth discussion of issues- just gushing and pandering to whom they like. I remember watching Rachael Maddow- who use to be hard hitting- go bonkers over Hillary Clinton's coat lining. Now, it was a nice coat and all, but really- is that news? The only programs that are hard hitting on MSNBC any more are the documentary series they run.

[wisteria]

29. It may not of been an appropriate thing to say, but why would Todd be jealous of Obama.

I don't think Todd wants to be President.

[rvablue]

30. Not jealous. But upset that he didn't get his moment in the sun at the pressers.

Wonder if he will further down the road after his ridiculous and unfounded "commentary."

[Top Cat]

35. Todd is jealous because the Preident is smarter then he will ever be.

No one said that Todd wanted to be President....

[wisteria]

38. Based on what?

Look, you didn't like what he said,I didn't either, but I doubt he said it because he is jealous because Obama is smarter than him. I don't know that for a fact and I would assume you don't either.

[Thrill]

43. I think he's clearly if not jealous, envious of Obama

Its too much of a pattern with his comments.

You don't have to want to be President, to be envious of someone because of their popularity, smarts, or leadership

[Top Cat]

49. You have your opinion and so do I....

[madaboutharry]

36. I actually have thought that

Chuck Todd seem to have this weird envy of President Obama.

It is strange to get that vibe from a reporter or journalist.

[Top Cat]

52. Yes I agree... Some of the things Chuckie says about the President makes you wonder.

[angee_is_mad]

69. Generational Haterade

I've noticed this in men who are in Obama's age group or a little younger. I'm assuming that chucky ducky is in his mid 30s. Just review the stories of Obama by men in their mid 30s-40s. They are hard core.

I've even noticed it in my friends and acquaintances who are in Obama's age group.

[ErinBerin84]

37. I saw that!

It sounded like a very dickish thing to say...Mike Barnicle just commented that Obama seemed so comfortable on the world stage, and then Todd was like "Well, he runs the risk of appearing COCKY!" Oh joy. The return of the "he's so arrogant" meme.

[Thrill]

44. He won't make a mistake. Its driving them nuts.

So they are now on this fake rift with Sarkozy and Obama.

[Teaser]

40. What a total TODD.

.

[elise11]

41. when Todd speaks...

I turn off the TV. The man is clueless.

[and-justice-for-all]

45. "Cocky"? I call it Confidence...

Obama has the energy, the drive and the determination to turn 8 years of bullshit around. He can not go around all "hum drum" with his head down, he also has to put up with the obstructionist shit.

Obama is like a rock, only tougher.

Shrub was a cock prick.

[guy]

46. Chuck probably feels like I did after 2004

crushed and defeated.

[Cass]

48. He is such a tool. nt

[PA Democrat]

50. "You're either with us or against us."

THAT'S cocky. I don't recall anyone in the MSM calling Bush "cocky" when he said that.

[sniffa]

51. CHUCK TOD SI A RITE WIN TOOOL

DON WATCH

[FrenchieCat]

53. So who in the f*ck does Chuck Todd think he is? Did somebody elect him or something?

Cocky Chuck is getting on my last damn nerves.

[Top Cat]

61. I'm right there with yeah

[jillan]

54. Ummm, Chuck - I believe it's YOU that appears cocky.

Obama appears humble - yet confident.


Do I need to send you a dictionary so you can brush up on your adjectives?

[lib2DaBone]

55. From Day 1... I do not trust or like Chuck Todd....sorry

[GoCubsGo]

56. Whatever you say, Schmuck.

cause I misread. :blush:

[Undercurrent]

60. Pie-thetic!

This is a retread of a msm meme from the primaries, AND reused in the general. Now they're trying to run the same stupid play, and pretending they got somethin'.

They got nothin'.


:rofl:

[Harry Monroe]

62. Chuck Todd is an asshole!

[saltpoint]

63. Todd doesn't matter much in the long run. I think Obama runs a very

high risk of appearing intelligent, decent, and capable.

[Skittles]

65. that's because he cannot say "uppity"

[firedupdem]

66. Fuck Off Todd. That black man is your president. I know you

wanted to say uppity but you couldn't you ass!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

71. Agreed - Chuckie might as well put his white hood on and cover that ugly mug of his.

[stevenleser]

67. To Whom? The Europeans love him, and so do we.

Chuckie, it ain't St. Patties day, why are you so green?

[FrenchieCat]

68. Dear Chuck Todd,

Apart from insinuating that the President is bordering on cocky, earlier today when asked about the big news that France is taking a Gitmo Prisoner, you responded, "its nice, but its just one prisoner, I wouldn't read too much into it".

Please tell me, why are reporters so arrogant to believe that we are looking for their opinions about our news? We just want the news reporting, not to always know what you think! I didn't hire you, Chuck Todd; some guy in some suit up in some office did. I just happen to be hard up for news, because good reporting is so hard to find, and sometimes I give up, get desperate and watch MSNBC.

But please, why do you believe that you are anyone to judge and then comment to thousands of viewers about something as subjective as how the President of the United States is acting?

I didn't hear reporter calling Bush anything other than Mr. President for at least first 6 years!

Perhaps the problem is not our President's confidence; maybe it is our reporters who appear to lack respect as well as a true understanding as to their own place in the larger scheme of things.

Political director of some news station doesn't make you king of who's what, and to be honest, I'm getting tired of the folks who barely know what AIG actually does attempting to school me on what I see with my own eyes.

You guys need to stop being so obvious. It's actually very transparent and pathetic.
But keep treating us like we are stupid. Go ahead.

Respectfully,

[Top Cat]

73. Well said FrenchieCat....

[Vinca]

70. Cocky?? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

If anything, I'd call him humble.

[otohara]

72. He Looked Tired or Drunk

yesterday when he was rambling this ridiculous summation, that no doubt came from the now journalistic practice of "pulled right out of his ass" - Worse, he wouldn't stop...which made it sound even more absurd.

That's certainly no excuse for this stupidity.
