What’s the White House Doing Now That Has an NBC News Journalist Shocked?: ‘This Just Looks Bad’

Feb. 25, 2013 12:01pm Becket Adams

NBC News Chuck Todd Is Not Happy With OfAs Offer to Get Donors Access to the White House

President Obama’s 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina in January became the national chairman of Organizing for Action (OFA), a group “closely affiliated” with “insider liberal organizations” funded by the likes of billionaire philanthropist George Soros, TheBlaze reported.

And considering the fact that Messina is the president’s former campaign manager, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that his group would have access — and the ability to offer access — to the White House.

Well, let’s back up for a second. It shouldn’t be that big of a surprise — but for some in traditional media, it’s a bit unnerving.

Citing a recent New York Times report that claims OFA is offering donors access to the President Obama, MSNBC’s Chuck Todd sounded both surprised and disappointed Monday morning.

“Excuse us? This just looks bad,” Todd said, adding that the president is “ceding the moral high ground.”

He continued, noting the president’s history of decrying the influence of money in politics.

“This is how a bad system gets worse,” Todd added. “I wonder what candidate Obama would say about this.”

The “left leaning media” is all about the covering of the truth, So what else is new!

Or it could be like a superstar wrestling plot, they never were journalists, they were just repeating what was told to them by the White House, so they pretend to have a new “villan” so you become interested in what they are saying? We just got a story a few days ago that “imprompto” moments have been limited?

Or could it be like an Obama phone, that got disconnected, and now you got to go out and buy a real phone later that day, or pay the bill yourself? It doesn’t matter, blogs like this will move on and the Tea Party will continue to network with or without the press?

Ricky is a typical losing lefty. He starts calling the other side names when he knows he’s losing the argument.

What’s his problem? The leftist media is all about “looks”. Facts are whatever they want them to be.

Everybody should know by now obama will look you in the eye and lie about everything. He goes out and gives speeches that his fans want to hear and they fall for it. He does the opposite of what he says in his speeches but they don’t care.

And NBC is surprised that Obammy is doing exactly the opposite of what he says. Well, that’s if they actually report the facts.

It’s time to call the Democrat Party what it truely is. The liberal socialist/communist democrat party. Check out the link above and see how many of the communist goals the democrat party has either pushed through or are advocating. Use the language that describes a communist as a communist…

With the comfort of the next election cycle 20 months away and the next presidential election 44 months away, some water carrying lib-rats feel comfortable enough with paying lip-service to the blatently obvious catch 22′s in their own camp. OOOOOOOH. You’re really living on the edge there. Call this BS in August of 2015 and I may give you some kudoos.

You would think that, as an unoffical spokesperson for Obama, that Chuck Todd would be more familiar with “the Chicago way.”

Put a thin little black mustache on this clown and he would look almost exactly like Hitler. Go ahead. Take a look. See what I mean?

  You know you’re kind of right about that. But I don’t remember ever seeing a photo of Hitler’s lips looking so sorely chaffed as Messina’s. But then again, Hitler never attended a Liberal Democrat Convention in Charlotte, NC. (They don’t call Charlotte the “Queen City” for nothing)!

  Bill Clinton hasn’t been the president for a while so you need to give him some slack.

The MSM is merely The Barack Obama Show. A political reality show . And how about Michelle handing out an award at the Academy Awards last night ? They must be grooming ” the Mrs. ” for Obama III !

  Rick,
  If people knew who Michele and Barry really were instead of the fictional characters that they play on TV do you really think they would still be popular? Why do they have to hide it? Why is the media complicit? When will you guys admit that you’ve been had?
  I’m not a real President and have no idea what I am doing. But… I play one on TV and people like me so let me ram as much Marxist crap down your throats as I can before anyone wakes up and figures it out.

  RICK1954 – Uh oh…you disagree with Barber2; therefore, you MUST be a troll. You know that differences of opinion are strictly prohibited by many of the beckies. The second you don’t say something like “ditto” or “right on” you are a troll. Don’t worry, there are some people here who respect freedom of speech and find it refreshing.
