Cokie Roberts Criticizes Obama For Visiting Family

This woman's logic here is just astounding. She explains why Obama has every reason to take a vacation in Hawaii, to visit his family, and then says it makes absolutely no sense and that he should have gone to Myrtle Beach instead. If he did go there Cokie would you have been calling him elitist if he played golf? Or maybe out of touch with every day golfing Americans if he'd tried to play and wasn't any good at it? These talking heads will find any ridiculous thing they can to prove a talking point for McCain and take a cheap shot at Obama.

"I know Hawaii is a state." Thanks for clarifying that for us Cokie! The people who live in Hawaii are also United States citizens, tax payers, and voters. Should it matter that Hawaii is not on the "mainland"? It just so happens Hawaii is where he was born and raised. What a ridiculous comment you ignorant woman.

@johnosahon what happened to the family values people. When Cokie's grandmother or mother is dying, I hope she can go to Myrtle Beach instead. That would make a lot of sense, seeing her heart is black as coal and she might try to sell it off to the highest bidder.

he could go on vaca and work...its not hard to do

Umm ignorant cunt, you do know his grandma was dieing at that time, so he had every reason to go to Hawaii. And you should do your homework before you blunty talk. Hawaii has different islands and every island is different. He so happens to be going to Oahu, which is NOT even exotic. It's almost urban. Gosh, over the top ignorant people piss me off.

KUNTIE ROBERTS - what a snotty bitch. Get her off the air. ABC - I hope your advertisers understand I don't buy their products when they advertise on your Disney Hitler network.

Hmm, I wonder if Cokie is violating the terms of her contract with NPR by expressing these personal opinions, as Juan Williams apparently was.

You can't tell a grown man where to go on vacation. Unless you are his wife.

Wow, she is stupid! Did she forget that his grandma was sick and it's his home. She needs to get out more especially since she doesn't know who Simon Cowell is.

[vidann1]
