I simply can’t relate to her perspective. We end a war, and she expects Obama to give some awful speech about how pointless the war was? How would that be viewed as anything but completely inappropriate and demeaning to troops?

I simply don’t know how some of these people get their jobs.

Rachel “TotalCow” is the only disgrace I see here (other than Olberman – “How do you know Olberman is lying?” … “his lips are moving!”) … President Bush, agree with him or not, was a man who truly cared for his country and did his best as he saw it. Kudo’s the President Obama for recognizing this, TotalCow’s opinion is irrelevant …

This is what happens when you put someone who hates America and Americans in the media, She hates President Bush, but loves Obama. She most likely hates anyone who is not a far left liberal Democrat.

This is the first time I’ve seen her. I thought it was well done. I’ll have to watch her more often.

This is what is broadcasted when three people who think they know far more than they do meet together on their little stage of rage. Foriegn policy to these three is to set the rules (in theis case the invasion of Kuwait) and then never mind about enforcing those rules.
Meanwhile let the people suffer death, turture, and corruption by depots–to them, that is okay because to them, freedom is just a word.

Ms Maddow is so obnoxious, bitter and condescending she makes me want to vomit. She is just another MSNBC parrot for the Obama Regime.

hah, DoubleV DoubleA is a perfect name cause that’s exactly what your president is doing to this country!! I have a sneaking suspicion you kinda like it.

I just got banned from posting over at a site you probably have a high post count on huffington___. I had more tact and certainly not offensive like your username.
About the spending. The Iraq war cost less than the first stimulus the O administration passed in 2009. You can say what you want but that war kept things over there,and not on our soil. Many good things came out of that war and we captured Saddam (I’m sure this doesn’t mean a thing to you.). If you think the war in Afghanistan is pointless then maybe you should move somewhere like France. I hear they love clueless Americans and they have a great government and everything is FREE!!!
Bush wasn’t perfect he had his faults. However when he was in office I felt safe. He was confident and he didn’t care what the rest of the world thought. He wasn’t a pushover. He had more balls than Obama and terrorist feared him. He didn’t sugar coat anything and he did what he said he was going to do. Foreign leaders think Obama is a pushover. Obama puts the US under the damn bulldozer every time he visits a foreign country… Many countries see that as a sign of weakness.. Obama isn’t proud of this country and that’s dangerous. I’m sure you are going to say Bush was stupid. When Obama doesn’t have his teleprompter he says some pretty dumb stuff. . At least Bush wasn’t fos.

  normally i would let something like that go but when you started in on the whole “bush had his faults but over all he was a good pres” speech you really just made me sick! i dont know if you were asleep or in a coma the whole time bush was in office but things were not safe! you think terrorist’s feared us? THEY ATTACKED US WHEN BUSH WAS IN OFFICE! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? lol but really you said he was confident?…….. i dont think i even have to say anything about that one i dont think! now, i am no fan of obama by any means but to say that bush was good for our country is ignorant! the only thing good from both the bush and the Obama administrations is the fact that most people will be smart enough to not just throw down a vote without doing research. i hope that we can get some actual people to think when they are choosing who to vote for because it is so sad to see people say “well i am a republican so without even looking at the guy i am just going to vote for the guy who represents my party because THEY ARE ALWAYS RIGHT! :)” actually find out what the guy/girl believes and see if it matches what you want for the country! see what they have done in the past because they will most likely be that way again! just think, thats all i ask

  “you think terrorist’s feared us? THEY ATTACKED US WHEN BUSH WAS IN OFFICE”
  I’m talking about POST 9/11.
  
  I didn’t say I liked Bush, ;) I just compared the two and in my opinion Bush has more balls than Obama.
  Unfortunaley we didn’t have much of a choice in 2000. Al Gore or Bush… I went with Bush.
  2004 John Kerry or Bush? I Had to go with the guy who drove the bus into the ditch cause I hoped he had the best chance at getting us out of it.
  I hope I made sense. The Republican party hasn’t given us many hopeful options and I certainly hope they get their act together for the next election.

  DvDa is a conservative trying to make progressives look sub-human. LOL You guys can take him back now.
  
  BTW Obama escalated the Predator War and now has killed more terrorist leaders than Bush did in his entire term. Does this make you feel safer?, not me I would prefer the terrorist leaders be caught so we can get some information out of them, and if they don’t talk then break out some torture. LOL

MSNBC – Maddow’s Simpleminded Narcissistic Bootlicking Subterfuge. She reminds me of one of those nosy women who has to raise her voice and talk real fast to cover her insecurity.

Close.

He burned up every single dollar Obama gave him.
But that wasn’t enough for Obama, was it? Trillions more torched by the current administration.

I don’t normally feed the blatant trolls but what the hell I’m bored. As you so pathetically demonstrate trolling is comming onto a site and posting just to stir up $h!t and you’ve been doing nothing but since you showed up. Your screen name itself is trollish. If you were interested in honest discourse you wouldn’t have chosen the most offensive tag your pea brain could come up with. It’s why your side is going to ultimately fail because behavior like that turns people off whether it’s a douche like you online or a condesending ass like Nancy Pelosi deliberately slandering millions of Americans. You are partially correct in that GW did allot of damage to the GOP but the damage he did was due to acting like a progressive and abandoning fiscal sense. That’s one of the reasons I’ll never join any party unless they show me over a sustained period of time that they’ve cleaned up their act (about as likely as the sun rising in the west). Listen to your side justify saddling future generations with crushing debt by pointing to “dubya” and saying he did it to is almost like listening to my kids fight (except my kids cooperate better and have more class than most congress critters I’ve seen). The Democrats are rolling into an @$$whooping like they’ve never seen before and I know it tears you up. The realy good part is we’re also culling some of the progressive hucksters out of the Republican herd as well. It’ll be great to watch Grahmnesty go down in flames. It’s ok because it’ll all be over soon. The DNC will have a worse credibility crisis than when Carter left office and we might even be able to turn the GOP into something worth supporting again. Trolls like you will wail and gnash their teeth and continue to fling poo from the basements of your parents house as we dismantle the so called health care reforms and replace it with a true market based solution. Then we’ll reign in Social Security and purge the text books of all the revisionist history (that Texas curriculum board thing really stung didn’t it?) But you know what the worst thing is going to be? Pretty soon the Dems are going to start cleaning their own house as well. You’ll always have progressives like Pelosi and Frank but they’ll fade howling into the minority as representatives that manage to win in moderate districts are going to distance themselves from the lunatic left more and more. You’re side manages to pull Snow and Collins accrossed the aisle but the GOP manages to bring dozens of blue dogs who are sick and tired of taking it for the team on every issue and it’ll only get worse. Sooooo keep on trolling until they get some mods on this sight and we’ll see you in November.

God Bless

  The only logical reason I can think of to explain a big democratic defeat, would be that “Idiocracy” is not just a movie, but the coming reality.

Seriously,
How sad for Rachel that she must act out her borderline angst on a Tv show.
Actually, she does have talent and creative delivery . But what she delivers is pure propaganda.
What would she do if suddenly she was in a room and could study key classified briefings during Clinton’s last year in office, Bush;s prior to 911 and the 2 years after 911?

I will tell you what she would do. She would become a Republican!

Maddow and the rest of her ilk are going to have to eventually concede the fact that Afghanistan is now Mr. Obama’s war. The constant blaming of President Bush for all of our problems is getting tiresome. They still don’t get it but it’s fun watching them make fools of themselves. I do wonder where all the anti-war activists are. They magically disappeared on election day. Great job on Saturday Glenn. We now know liberals can’t count either.

I don’t know what’s more pathetic. Having Rachel throwing a tantrum about Bush, or the fact that Oberman couldn’t find anyone to interview but the #2 and #3 political hacks that just happen to work for the network. MSNBC journalism at it’s best!

How is she dissing the president? She only made mention of his mistakes, that doesn’t constitute as a “diss”
