Tim Russert interviews Barack Obama (Part 1)

Tim Russert interviews Barack Obama on Meet The Press.

(on a personal note, I am saddened by Tim Russert's death today. When I heard that he had died, I wept openly. Although I didn't always agree with his "gotcha" style questions, the moderator of Meet The Press and NBC Bureau chief has been a great inspiration to me and the creation of my YouTube channel)

The world is truly now, a much sadder place -

R.I.P. Tim

[mike50333]

I hadn't watched him while he was living (didn't even know he had a segment until the other day), but from what I've seen so far, I respect him. He asks the tough questions that people would otherwise not be asked, and yet he is respectful throughout, unlike BILL o'REILY!

I'll certainly miss him. Also, I think Obama did a good job with Tim. ^_^

Tim's honesty and pointed questions are missed. We are losing all the lions, leaving nothing but jackals.

[kimcliftrn]

These thugs had him killed.

Social Justice, you know, stealing (taxes) from the working class to give to the lazy. Providing shelter, you know, breaking into foreclosed homes to let a welfare recipient live there for free. Dealing with poverty= creating a fraud crisis like global warming to steal more money (taxes) to provide for those who refuse to work. Only in America!!

R.I.P Tim your the best!!!

"So is Obama's Grandmother a nutfuck for saying she witnessed his birth in Kenya?"

Maybe. But not as much of a nutfuck as you. What's the source for this "statement"? Billy-Bob's Conservoquack One-Stop Hillbilly Website?

And, hell, telling me communists love me is no insult. Communists led the resistance against Mussolini during WW2. The U.S. since WW2--either covertly or overtly--has had a hand in destabilizing any government with even a whiff of socialist tendencies. Back at you.

[nidhogge]

So is Obama's Grandmother a nutfuck for saying she witnessed his birth in Kenya? How about the forensics experts that put their careers on the line to prove the certificate of live birth was a forgery? I could go on here. The Republican Governor did what he was told to, and that is that.

Got a problem with the Constitution? Communists love dumbasses like you.

[bapyou]

The case is closed. Don't have an anuerism, dude. You sound like a raving lunatic. And you're wrong about Hawaiin law. The Republican governer of Hawaii has vouched for Obama's birth. S'matter? Got a problem with Republicans? They love nutfucks like you.

[nidhogge]

You are a fucking whack job. I don't give a shit if you want to discuss racism in a race-relevant discussion, but you are bringing it into a conversation out of nowhere just because you're grasping for straws.

Obama is an illegal alien, and according to Hawaiian law, Obama and ONLY Obama can unlock the vault where his original birth certificate is stored in Hawaii and display it to the public. He would have done this in an instant if he could.

Keep drinking the kool-aid, sport.

[bapyou]

"Prove it. I'm not taking anyone's word that it's on file."

I don't have to prove anything. The Republican governor of Hawaii has vouched for Obama's birth. Again: The state of Hawaii does not issue copies of certificates of birth. This is why Obama himself cannot obtain one. Don't you get it idiot?

Race card? So, in other words, the issue of race cannot be discussed without someone screaming "race card"? What I wrote previously is a legitimate concern. What? No one in America is racist?
