Matalin Laments Obama Speech Just 'A Rehash of the Bush Doctrine'

[TheFightfirewithbaco]

charlie44441 if you were wondering where the hippies went, they are the ones in power now, they just finally realized, that fighting the ones with all the power and money, who will stop at nothing to retain their power and money, is pointless. and jumped on the side they once fought against, because they realized that protesting isn't going to pay the bills.

[christogarcia]

We should deploy troops into that CNN Newsroom to root out all of those Military Industrial Complex a-holes.

[gallomex13]

The big Picture is that if you bring the soldiers home now they come to Unemployment.

[inmyforties]

i'm agree with her. the great compromiser hits again with a new great compromise. another half assed effort to please all sides.. only to get hammered from both sides. obama, start governing already. no more beer summits, no more bowing to asians, not more kowtowing to neonazi conservatives. i'm starting to think this great strategist and chess player who we thought through great strategery won the election actually won it by a stroke of luck

[njcarlos1]

If by "stroke of luck" you mean "color of skin," than yes, he won by a "stroke of luck."

[wowhornby]

is this seriously a news show? cable news is such bullshit. look at these scumbuckets! a freaking circus show is more like it. all these "analysts" are worthless. no wonder no one watches tv.none of them predict real problems or crises. what a joke american media is.

[njcarlos1]

And which country's is better?

[redstateidiots]

The" big picture" is... this woman is an idiot and should study with sister Sarah to learn what the Bush doctrine actually was.

[tra12345iscool]

the 30000 is not for counter terrorism though..its to teach the Iraqis how to be soilders

[badgeless]

Obama's done. Stick a fork in him, he's cooked. Democrats: done.

Voters, especially the young, simply won't bother voting. This isn't the "change they can believe in"

[EmperorKagato]

@badgeless Ha you think voters are still going to vote for the healthcare hating republicans.. Think again.

[gamoonbat]

Matalin is absolutely correct about this. Barack has backtracked from his foreign policy objectives in order to placate Republican politicians. This is a recipe for disaster in terms of his own presidency. I pity the poor soldiers.

[MadDogOfist]

"It doesn't feel like there's enough troops". Ah, empathy, that famous aid of all military decisions.

[motorolarules]

what terrorist? I see opium, war money, furthering agenda for the military industrial complex. I see power hungry vultures. I see a lacky for a US leader...I see dead brown people and blood on the US's hands... wait a minute, is obama the terrorist?

[TonyCook2012]

obama is a media whore...nothing less....nothing... more

[gobbledygookie]

Uh, Richard Heene is a media whore, Obama is the president. Deal with it and stop being a whiny little bitch.

[TonyCook2012]

not a very good president. poor guy is at such a disadvantage. now there is a whiny little whore for you.

obama needs his mommy.. not unlike you I suspect--- when you are drafted into his war.

[crtnyevans]

ow can a President be a media whore? I'm pretty sure he has to be seen..you want him to announce all of his plans in private?

[skog77]

If you shave Matalins hair she will look exactly like her husband.

[terrence0258]

This issue is way too serious for the media to give it the attention it deserves. Tomorrow morning every news show in America will be talking about the war and then another celebrity will get drunk and crash a car and the ADD infotainment industry will cover it 24/7.

[Shiftyeyes516]

You selfest bitch - why don't you volunteer and ask your fake ass repub to volunteer.

WAR - these people are willing to sacrifice America for these own evil objective.

[hypnyxx]

I just love seeing Democrats become the warmongers. It makes me feel all warm inside.

[FeelFreeToArgue]

Draw the line, people. Every dollar we waste in the mountains of Afghanistan fighting a war we WILL NOT WIN doesn't create a job here, provide medical care, OR give a child who needs it Head Start. We can spend more & more for this war that no one but the M.I.Complex & a couple NeoCon nitwits want (5% increase just this yr - funded the way Obama said he was going to stop) but health care (his top priority?) has to be BUDGET NEUTRAL.

Yeah.

What does he say & what does he do? Draw the lines!

[bigc028282]

How come the majority of the TROLLING LINE, have accounts with nothing on them? You would think that, if they believe in there BS so much, they would have a REAL ACCOUNT; that's not a TROLL/SHILL ACCOUNT WITH NOTHING ON IT.

YOU F*CKTARDS ARE NOT CONVINCING ANYONE.

[billyshake]

yeah, the screaming help. we're all very impressed with your caps lock. fuckin' idiot.

[thielenm]

you just cant win with the republicans... just pull the fuck out what are we doing??????????????

[getplaning]

Bring back the draft, without deferrments.

People like Typhoid Mary will shut their pie-holes.

[SailorCire]

...the apple logo is upside down on the black laptop. that is all. I'm tired of commenting and recieving 200 thumbs down for rational thought. so atleast I'll diserve it this time

[faithofthefoe]

So what if the terrorist wait it out.

Fine, they hunker down and wait 18 months. Number of incidents drop and a fake stability is restored. After 18 months, Obama can say "see, all peaceful now. Come on home, troops"

Or if terrorists ratchet it up, after 18 months we have Pakistan actively engaged or we blame it on them and leave.

[faithofthefoe]

If this is just the Bush doctrine, why hasn't it worked for the last 8 years?

Maybe it's not the Bush doctrine.

[cosmosgato]

obambi is 4 and out!

[TheRamenAvenger]

Why do you hate our country?

[cosmosgato]

I don't.

obambi is bait and switch.

[TheRamenAvenger]

If you had any clue what you're talking about (which of course you don't), you'd know this is exactly what he said he would do during the campaign. Your analysis is an epic fail.

[brabon1]

no....cuz there would still be towel heads on the planet

what was the last positive thing a camel jockey did for anyone?

KILL THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Keszler]

thats not what the bush doctrine is tool

[TrollBuster9090]

Does it matter? I don't think I've EVER seen Matalin make an argument that makes sense. I'm pretty sure that's what Carville loves about her, her consistency. She's consistently contradictory.

[billyshake]

I agree 100%, trollbuster -- and I gotta apologize, I accidentally hit thumbs down when I meant to thumbs up! Got so used to whacking the down icon after reading through halcyon's ridiculous ranting.

[TrollBuster9090]

No worries, I've done that myself. :)

[brabon1]

fuck hitler...he loved the towel headed bastards

everywhere the towel heads go there are problems

so nuke the whole fucking middle east, half of the former soviet union and most of asia

ALLAH KAKA DOODIE

[deveousdevil]

wtf is this dumb piece of shit talking about?? "oh no !! the BUsh doctrine which i support is being applied!!!! and im still a whiney retard douche!!"

Obama is making a huge mistake and he knows it.

[brabon1]

fuck the towel heads

obama is doing the right thing

KILL THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[1samothrace77]

this whole main stream media conversation is bullshit. we are going to be there for many years and many thousands of troop will die over there. how do you protect a population that does not want you over there.

[TrollBuster9090]

The mainstream media conversation is bullshit in EVERY situation, not just this one. Western civilization may as well throw in the towel, because we've lost the ability to disseminate and discuss information logically, and with the help of EXPERT opinions.

These news programs always wheel out the same gaggle of dumbass political pundits to discuss issues that should be discussed by experts. Message: everything is about politics and ideology, and nothing is about facts and empirical evidence.

[junkforkaryn]

did you watch rachel tonight? she had a well balanced conversation with interesting people who actually know what the hell they are talking about. i had to stop watching the gaggy gaggle at CNN because they make me want to open a vein.

[TrollBuster9090]

I guess that's why nobody considers Rachel Maddow a "journalist."

If you seek truth by getting experts to discuss things rationally, that's an opinion show.

If you seek truth by getting David Gurgen, Donna Brazil and Bill Bennet to wrestle in a pool filled with butterscotch pudding, that's cable news journalism.

I hear they decided Global Warming was a hoax the other day, when Bill Bennett pinned them both to the mat for a count of ten seconds. Glad that's finally settled.

[tj5555555]

Afgan will be Obama's Viet Nam because all he wants to do is bleed USA dry, just like L B Johnson did. He is friends with the NWO's Mil-Industrial-Complex. It's Obama's turn to convert our troops blood into gold for his NWO buddies. i was in RVN and i can't believe that Obama is being allowed to do it again. Nuke the Taliban & and put agent orange on the poppy crop & come home. Stop selling our troops for nothing. It's time to come home. tj ps: arrest the FED.

o-b2: you do understand that a comment reply is intended to relate to the topic in terms that do not require a calculator or a Vulcan mind probe to interpret, don't you? tj

[TrollBuster9090]

Dude, you're not supposed to be using the DHARMA Initiative computer to surf the internet.

[oicub2]

The Dharma Initiative, also written DHARMA (Department of Heuristics and Research on Material Applications), is a fictional research project featured in the television series Lost. In 2008, the Dharma Initiative website was launched. 'Dharma' is Sanskrit and is used in Hinduism. It has also been borrowed into Buddhism (sometimes called "Dhamma") to describe the collected teachings of the Buddha. It was likely used in the series because it refers to a body of supreme knowledge.

[charlie44441]

I find it amazing that Americans will have a tea party to prevent health care for everyone but if young men are dying in a stupid war with no end, they won't even get off the couch. Where did all the hippies go? At least they got off the couch....when they were hippies.

[Philinspaces]

All the hippies are driving SUV's and buying Iphones. The hell with social consciousness, it doesn't put a DVR on your satellite dish. The young people are hypnotized by their WW and Call of Duty video games. Maybe when gas hits 4.00 a gallon again and their family members return in body bags they will get active again. Americans are motivated by the wallet any more.

[billyshake]

Phillinspace is right -- without drugs, the hippies turned into lazy pricks and their kids are following suit.

The country's going insane.

[TrollBuster9090]

Half the teabaggers WERE hippies. Here's an interesting fact for you. Most of the baby boomers that protested the Vietnam war suddenly stopped protesting wars when Nixon ended the draft. This is about selfishness, rationalized to look like ideology. When they were 20 they were protesting the draft, when they were 40 they were protesting taxes, and now that they're 60 they're protesting cuts to Medicare.

[KataVideo]

the bush doctrine was pre-emptive war, not going after terrorists no matter who harbors them.

bushpig and cheneypig created this problem for obama because they ignored afghanistan and ordered a war on a country that didn't and couldn't attack us, basing it on lies and distortions presented to congress.

[KataVideo]

wasn't matalin 100% in favor of the bushit doctrine?

[spartan2600]

she's right- Obama isn't really any different than Bush.

[FeelFreeToArgue]

Not true - Obama can pronounce "nuclear" correctly. It's a start.

[reallygonecat]

we will convince them to love us all with our freedom bombs

[deshonlive]

I guess his Campaign rheteric of ending the wars has been forgotten.

[SuperEvilC]

deshonlive ~ I guess he's drafting plans to end these wars... he said during the campaign that he'd send more troops to Afghanistan. What exactly has been forgotten?

[guillermo316]

everyone was thinking oh shit she just dissed obama, preapre to get torture! lol!

[billyshake]

I gotta say, I voted for Obama and I hope this works -- but I'd bet my left nut this is the wrong move.

[mfishrules]

@billyshake Right with you there buddy. I voted for him, I hope this somehow brings about stability in Afghanistan...but like you...I really don't think it will.

[billyshake]

Nope. And didn't hear anything at all in that speech that sounded remotely new -- we're banging our heads against the wall here. Worse, Obama is an educated man, he knows the history there and is choosing to ignore it, apparently. Forget the past 9 years, Imagine all the money we'll spend there and in Iraq over just the next couple of years...we could get health care to every man woman and child in the U.S.

[bigc028282]

And people still refuse to see HOPE in one hand, BUSH in the other.

MAN some people are f*cking stupid. Where are all the obuma nazi's on this one? Same as the bushtards.

[billyshake]

You are so very helpful, bigc028282. For your info, you ignorant, paranoid little Alex Jonesian, Obama said he would do exactly this throughout his campaign. Does that mean I'm happy about it? No. But unlike the Bush loyalists, we demand more of our party leaders and openly disagree with them.

And people like you who use the word 'nazi' to describe Americans who are concerned about the country? Yeah, YOU are the fucking problem, you little prick of a child.

[bigc028282]

BULLSHIT! LMFAO

YOU obumasstards, have not held him to account, as you wished you could have with BUSHTARD. If you retards are concerned about our country than do something with this:

"bailouts"+interest+derivative­s=120+yrs of our GDP.Maybe you could get YOUR PARTY to hole Obumass accountable to his promises. So far we got an ADVANCED P-ACT, TORTURE PRISONS(GITMO isn't one), "TIME TO READ BILLS"( we get 300pages at3AM to crap in trade) JPMORGAN(who payed into his campaign) LOBBYIST B.S, & rest.

[billyshake]

You know, you might want to ask Alex Jones to get his dick out of your mouth for a second so you can write your own words instead of coughing new world order sperm onto youtube comments.

Seriously, you excitable little man, take the white sheet off and join the discussion or make your big move, start your retard revolution RIGHT NOW. Go out in the street with your guns and start firing. Just watch out for ricochets -- would hate to lose that big brain of yours in the conversation.

[ETericET]

Hum, did Bush have a doctrine? Canada has troops there also and we are taking a beating. What i'm worried about is no matter how long we are there, Soon as there's a democratic election they will just vote taliban people in anyway. That we have seen before here. To not have that happen you would have to stay a generation. Are we ready to be there for that long? Can we afford that?

[billyshake]

I agree, ETericET. This seems like insanity to me; a forestalling of the inevitable.

[bigsid920]

I'm so glad I didn't vote for McBama. To bad 90% of the American people are complete idiots. LOL

[billyshake]

Well, bigsid920, I hope you didn't vote for McCain (if you voted at all) are you're looking like the idiot right NOW. What would he do differently? He's ADD troops to Iraq as well. He's a fucking war monger plain and simple.

[bigc028282]

You mean like chickenhawk in chief?

"as well" says it all.

[bigsid920]

Oh god no! I would never vote for McWar. I wonder how much of our tax dollars have been spent on that hack throughout his life? My goodness, we even paid for his prenatal care. LOL

[animeownage86]

When will these fools realize that what they know of as "Government" is nothing more then a joke, a soap opera of fake left and fake right pretending to be against each other arguing only to divide us and keep us from seeing the truth that our "Government" is a sham and is actually ran by foreign bankers and corporate interests and that as long as there is more money and power to be gained by the blood of our sons and daughters all of these wars will never end.

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

See Obama? Absolutely nothing you can do to please these people.

These right wing assholes don't want to cooperate with the rest of the country. They think they are the only ones who matter and get to make decisions in this country.

[CollateralSandwich]

She's here with me.

And told me to say "HI!"
