Is this the first time CNN grades a President every 100 days? Will there be comparative info to the prev admin?

I know many of us have a problem with CNN and their frequently questionable coverage but they are doing that grading thing again. I'm passing along the link for those who may want to participate and even out the field just a bit. I can't go through another one of these report card things and have it as ignorant as last time - my TV is new and I can't chuck anything at it. So let's even this quasi poll out and weigh in with our grades:

Here's the link.>/a>
There are 10 questions. Grade each, then press "next question".

Please take a few minutes to go on CNN.com to place your vote on how you think our President is doing his first six months in office. You know the conservative groups don't hesitate to show how they feel and they love to come out in force and skew some ish. Please vote and e-mail all your friends to vote. On August 6th CNN will announce the results...

"When we asked for help for the common man, what did we get?
' They were irresponsible'.
Well, now the common man is saying FUCK YOU, BACK. "

yes, THIS exactly.

In the end it may prove counter-productive, but it is the immediate visceral emotional response to a government that stood by last year and let Rome start to burn and seemingly only now is willing to open the hydrants and connect the hoses.

The roof is on fire, indeed.

Yeah - McSame was a frequent flyer in the way back machine last nite. I just wondered if he had some slippage and got his eras mixed up last nite.

I'm not sure it was intentionally. He was recalling so much of the past that I wonder if he just slipped a bit. I was waiting for someone to pounce on it as a senior moment and when they didn't I wondered if I was having the senior moment - lol!
I think maybe he just slipped, when you are speaking extemporaneously like that sometimes you have a little slippage. I just thought it was one of the more obvious errors I had heard. You know, aside from the outright lies and misrepresentations of Obama's positions.

McCain's puzzling reference to Madeline Albright.

I didn't notice that but did notice him referring to Ed Schultz as secretary of state at one point (am I remembering right).

Don't know if that is connected.

What do you think the intent was?

Re: Saturday Open Thread

then wasn't it funny when Madeline Albright posted a blog on Huffpo last night basically stating Obama passed the commander in chief test.

The one thing that is still puzzling me about the debate that I haven't seen any blog or media discuss is McCain's puzzling reference to Madeline Albright. When they were discussing diplomacy and meeting without pre-conditions, Obama said something about Bush's refeusal to speak with teh Axis of Evil. McCain then responded with a denial that the Bush admin doesn't do diplomacy and pointed out the meeting with North Korea. He then referenced Secretary of State Madeline Albright meeting with North Korea.

Now I know Madeline Albright was once Secretary of State, under Clinton , and did meet with North Korea. But in the context of what was being said shouldn't he be referring to Sec. of State RICE and her meeting with North Korea? What does Clinton's Secretary of State have to do with redeeming the Bush policy of the silent treatment?

Did anyone else catch this or was it just me?

banjalady: Hey! :>) Crowley was so in the pocket of billary and, initially, sounded like she was supporting Mr. Obama. But that was short-lived! She 2, kept giving on-air advice!

That's when I GAVE HER UP!! Sooo, I have NO EXPECTATIONS of her "fairness" in reporting. I tune her out!!

Back to the bu'iness at hand! :>)

Obama-Biden '08!!!

Looks like Jack hi-jacked McCain's Straight Talk Express.

I'm with Nquest on this one: Wolf's attempted rationalizations or attempt to blunt the harshness of Jack's blow were intellectually dishonest and semi-unprofessional. If he is going to give Jack a place on his show for Jack's punditry then let him have his say and don't try to muzzle him. Wolf and Crowley spend so much time trying to LOOK objective, as compared to actually BEING objective, that they just end up looking AND being intellectually dishonest.

Palin IS a damn trainwreck - why can't Jack say that and let it stand without clarification, excuse or rationalization?
McCain IS a big fat liar, liar, why can't Crowley acknowledge that without grasping at straws to find examples of Obama misrepresenting?

Last week (9/16) about 2.5 minutes into the show Jon goes on some riff about how the Merrill Lynch's (?) bull's genetalia is messy. He goes on to suggest it should be corn rowed or something and says it looks like Steeler's Tory Polamula's. Later in the show when he starts the interview with Ricky Gervais he goes back on the riff and suggests the Bull's gentalia should be dread locked. Meantime Gervais is visibly squirming in his seat he looks that uncomfortable with the line of "funny". See the whole hot mess here .

Letterman rocks. Stewart is on a time out after his little "black people's hair = pubic hair" stunt of last week.

Disgusting. If you want to register your disgust that this quasi journalist who wants to stand up and be considered credible didn't realize just how offensive his patronage of this crap is here is the email to Dobbs show and here is the email to the Situation Room and here is the email to the (show) Newsroom
Let's drop CNN a line and let them know just how impressed we are. Poor Soledad - she has to work with this pig.

For future reference this is where you went overboard and most dismissed you as a republican troll.

Yes, I trust the man knows what he is doing because he sure as heck has come a lot farther than I ever thought he would. So what do I know, apparently not everything, imagine that.
Meantime I LOVE his new change ad. That's the stuff, more of that, more looking presidential, more directly talking to the American people, and like we have intelligence too. More defining yourself and change and not allowing it to be co-opted by McGrumpy and Mooselini with an assist by the MSM who are so fond of the meme of reassigning the "change" to the BS express.
