Morning Joe: Former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger on Barack Obama 10/21/08

[mrkareem1975]

Checkmate

[skoookum]

Now he's dead and rapidly on his way to becoming a fossil. Good riddance Larry!

[bluemonday2020]

this old fossil belongs on a shelf

[billybob101013]

what s eagleburger saying fear that the usa will hurt somebody feelings

[masudrules]

I can't believe he actually said Governor Obama. The man has lost the plot.

[GrimJerr]

Eagleburger is a relic from Criminal administrations and was part of the policies that are part of the darkest part of American history.

He was part of the policies which led to the blowback we are experiencing in the world today.

What a dotterring old fool !

these shows don't care who they put on these days. I have been seeing the Criminal Tom Delay appearing on Morning Joe again, why are we listening to a disgraced criminal Texas politician. After Bush, Texas cannot be trusted.

Fuck Texas.

[MrCarl318]

Hopefully this man is senile. I refuse to believe that a former Secretary of State didn't know Nikita Khrushchev was running the Soviet Union at the time of the Cuban Missle Crisis!

[whauffend]

Medvediev has yesterday taken a crack at Obama. The 'Burger is right in assuming 'unknown' presidents will be tested right away. I think that Obama will handle this better than McCain. If he had won, Palin woukld have fired missiles already in hope of the rapture...

[DEarthling]

So now why do you think kennedy was a bad president, you just can't admit defeat...too bad I was looking forward to some more of your retoric to tear apart.

[DEarthling]

Well,BHO is now our president and that must really piss you off hahahahahahahahahha..Kennedy had no foreign policy experience either and he made the soviets back down..so what the fuck???

[obrienr]

Kennedy was a lousy president. Let's hope Obama does not follow suit.

[esb84]

Kennedy had a lot more foreign policy experience, he had written several books about our foreign policy and understood our role in the world. Im a Democrat and voted for Obama, but I'm beginning to fear he really is more talk than substance.

[Cameltoeguy]

Finally, a guy who speaks his mind and the truth... what foreign policy experience does BHO have?... not near what Palin has... check out her security clearance and compare it to BHO who couldn't pass a secret service test to be a bodyguard...

[DEarthling]

Wait a minute,you just said that Payem has more foreign policy experience? really? When Obama is on the senate foreign select committee as vice chairman and payem has more experience. Why because she can see russia??hahahahahahaha..what a bunch of losers...oh wait I can say that literaly...LOLOLOLOL

[DEarthling]

You READ coloring books???

[DEarthling]

Oh Eagleidiot...you never should have gotten in front of intelligent people, they actually read you know. Talk about a lame duck secretary, these are the kind of people that made up the Reagan and Nixon white houses,crooks,liars and idiots.He really didn't understand how exposed he was by the last interviewers question, "duh..what's your point?"

[obrienr]

Is this what passes for "intelligent" commentary among Democrats.

[obrienr]

You need to read more than DailyKos, Molly Ivins, Coloring Books, and Comic Books.

[DEarthling]

Well of course you do,after all your real hero "W" doesn't read at all so someone has to help him understand...it seems that would be you who reads coloring books.....lol

[obrienr]

If you start reading more, then your writing will improve as well, although you can only improve it to the extent that your limited intelligence will allow.

[DEarthling]

So, like all the rest of the neonazis you have no comment on the substance of the video(Eagleberger's idiocy), instead, you revert to name-calling that has no bearing whatsoever on the subject. Then you try to insult me, as if I were the interviewer, because of your evident embarrassment of your hero's ignorance...waaaaaah....call a waaaahmbulance

[obrienr]

Medice, cura te ipsum! Only a brain dead leftist would complain about being insulted and then go on a rabid rant about his ideological opponents being neo-nazis. Really, Gomer, you shouldn't be let anywhere near a voting booth.

[DEarthling]

There you go again. You're the one who needs to cure himself..oh, you didn't realize I speak latin??? Gomer, hahaha still no comment on the idiot?? BTW..you must really be pissed now...hahahahaha a blacvk man as president and you can't do a thing about it except to cry in your wine.....waaaaaaaaah

[obrienr]

You don't speak Latin. (You can't even speak English.)

[DEarthling]

What a piece of shit liar!! He Eaglefucker knows very well every president is "tested" right away. Kennedy was tested by the Soviets 9 months after taking office facing a nuclear war!!! He came out smellin like a rose as they say.

[thefloacist]

So by his definition we should never elect younger presidents b/c its not 'safe'. But lets have the oldest man to be elected president w/a history of cancer, frequently goes through senior moments and has a bad temper.

[thefloacist]

(cont)

As opposed to a possible more quick on his feet president with a new administration, not working with the failed admin that McCain will be using (plus Sarah Palin). I think if one was a terrorist, you'd be more likely to try something funny when you have Palin as VP and a president who gets lost on a small stage, yup.

[booboomonger]

The whole 'foreign policy experience' issue is a farce. People don't want someone whose experience will lead them to react in the same bullish and adventurist fashion we have seen for the last eight years. They want someone with intelligence and understanding of the world that will thoughtfully redefine America's engagement with the world. Very few would believe McCain capable of that...

[twotoedgiraffe]

HAHAH...Eagleburger stalling for time with repeating the question until he realizes he's just been made a bitch. HAHAHA....get back to your lawn chair and screaming at the kids running across your lawn.

[obrienr]

He was stalling. He was just taken aback by O'Donnell's stupidity masquerading as intelligent commentary. You can add Obama's two years on a committee to the speech he gave in 2002. That's the sum of the candidate.

[obrienr]

Make that "wasn't stalling."

[DEarthling]

You too huh, just like your hero eaglefucker can't get your mouth straight

[twotoedgiraffe]

I really don't think so. O'Donnell didn't ask anything out of line. It's not as if he asked what color Eagleburger's wife's panties were. If he was taken aback by O'Donnell's stupidity, then why did Eagleburger apologize later that he screwed up in his interview? He wasn't thinking? etc etc...

[UGOTDAJACK]

Lawrence O'donnel absolutely OWNED this old neocon bastard. What a beautiful sight to behold.

[obrienr]

Do you even know what a neocon is, you damn fool?

[UGOTDAJACK]

A neocon is a war obsessed freak who feels america should control the entire world through the barrel of a gun. A neocon is a hawk who could careless about who they kill in order to acheive their objectives. A neocon would put american lives in danger for the sake of Israel even though Israel has never and will never return the same favor. Neocons are really neo liberals who defected to the republican party after Lyndon Johnson opened the democratic party to blacks. YOU are probably a neocon.

[obrienr]

I give you credit for knowing the "dictionary definition" of a neocon but it does not do you any good if you misapply the label. Please enlighten us as to how Lawrence Eagleburger, who was Secretary of State after the first Gulf War and who resisted attempts to embroil the US in the Balkans is a "neocon."

Incidentally, I objected to your characterization of Eagleburger because I despise neoconservatism.

[gun15509]

I'm so sick of these old GOP fucks like Eagleburger! These people need to sit their asses down, retired and let this generation at least try to clean up the bullshit, that they created.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

[obrienr]

Yes, vote for Obama! He gave a speech in 2002!

[bellajj75]

All this is just hilarious. I am so over it! I cannot wait until Nov 4 to cast my vote for hopefully the next POTUS.

[jimijackson]

lol he got nailed in the end :)

[ezekielthemack]

This is complete and utter crap and I have to disagree with this guy and Joe Biden on this issue. EVERY president is tested in some way shape or form. What's more important is how he DEALS with the situation if it arises. Who do prefer, a hothead like McCain in a crisis, or a cool head like Obama? Answer: Obama. This whole argument is insipid and inane.

[bellajj75]

Good point.

[tbear674]

look at the obamanites now mccain is spreadin fear, that came from obama's own runnin mate cmon guys,, please lay off the kool aid.....

[dnfierro]

Thank you Lawrence Eagleburger...

(Is escourted out by nursing home attendants)

[xdir]

Love the way O'Donnel lined up the original question on Governors, you could see Eagleburger preparing himself thinking it was about Palin and was completely thrown.

[fragilemonster]

O'Donnell totally made Eaglebooger look like a fool.

[darwinx0101]

this makes sense.

let's not vote obama because terrorists may test us.

let's let the terrorists dictate who we vote for.

makes perfect sense.

[Arkinight]

Which terrorists? The state terrorists in Washington?

[darwinx0101]

i trust you know sarcasm when you see it.

i don't actually think we should let terrorists dictate our vote. the republicans seem to think so, though.

[Arkinight]

That one went right over your head eh?

Once again, which "terrorists"?

[darwinx0101]

FOREIGN TERRORISTS, JACKOFF

do you let FOREIGN terrorists dictate your vote? if so, i bet you're a republican.

[Arkinight]

Oh, thank God they're foreign terrorists you meant. The state terrorists that run Washington are acceptable, though, right? If they "dictate your vote" it's fine.

[jpickles]

If you don't vote for McCain does that mean the terrorists have won? Hmm..

[foreigneyes]

Governor Obama? the old senile man need to take his other senile friend Mccain and move to a retirement home where they belong!

[Praiosrondra]

Eagleburger got nailed! :p

[buckfastercrew]

"Obama has had nothing to do with foreign affairs".

What about the Council on Foreign Relations?

[TruthCan]

Most anticipated whitewash coming from Bush Sr.'s unsuccessful re-election campaign manager. Eagle-burglar was head of Yugoslavian affairs from 1989 to 1992, gaining a reputation for strong Serbian partisan, most controversially denying that Serbian paramilitaries and the Yugoslav National Army had committed atrocities in the breakaway republic of Croatia. European press dubbed him Lawrence of Serbia. As for military service - he started and stopped at butter bar.

[silverado2004]

Are you kidding me!!!WOW!!LOL!!

He looks like he is drunk or hung over.
