Tuesday on MSNBC's "Ronan Farrow Live," long-time "NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Brokaw criticized President Barack Obama's ISIS strategy saying an air war campaign as the main role for U.S. troops will be a huge recruiting tool for ISIS who he said the president allowed to grow by striking "way too late."
Brokaw said, "Bombing from 20,000 feet or 10,000 feet has an impact and it looks worse to us than people on the ground. That's one issue we have to deal with. it's not pinpoint killing, but massive destruction hoping that you will interdict the command and control apparatus."

"They [ISIS] have had warning and have been able melt into the hills in some way and have this uncanny ability to reinvent themselves. Also. if we strike them so hard, that goes out into the wider Islamic community, inevitably, young men say I'm going to join the forces and it becomes a recruiting tool for ISIS, so it's a tricky piece."

"What most people say is we got started way too late. We've know about ISIS moving out of Syria and into Iraq for sometime. The time to hit them was when they were on the move before they got themselves positioned in iraq and had taken over cities and created an infrastructure for the military."
 
CHUCK TODD: OBAMA IS AFRAID TO LEAD

http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2014/09/26/Chuck-Todd-Obama-is-Afraid-To-Lead


Friday after the British parliament voted to join the United States in the fight against ISIS, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd criticized President Barack Obama for not leading by bringing back the Congress for a vote on a war resolution because he is "afraid of the political consequences."
Todd said, "This is a man, [Obama] who said he wanted to get rid of the war authorization and have a new one. You want to know why there is mistrust in Washington and a lack of faith with both parties? It's moments like this, a big moment and you refuse to deal with it because you are afraid of the political consequences."

On his Tuesday “Hardball” broadcast, MSNBC host Chris Matthews reacted to the news that the first Ebola case had been diagnosed in the United States in Dallas, TX.
That led to an exchange between Matthews and his guest, so-called ObamaCare architect Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, who later downplayed the threat of Ebola to the American public.

Partial transcript as follows:

MATTHEWS: I'm just trying to follow the logic here. Everybody's being told, don't worry unless they have the infectious symptoms, you can see them that you don't have to worry about catching them. Yet, this guy picked up the disease apparently from somebody who did not have the infectious symptoms.

EMANUEL: Again, don't hypothesize because we just don't know. We have no idea what he did or didn't do and how he got it. I'm sure that's going to be vital information to try to understand the transmission, but the idea that there's going to be a widespread outbreak here, I think is just, again, it's a bit of fear mongering. We have a single case. This is not a big, widespread --

MATTHEWS: Yeah, yeah, but I'm just going back to the president's statement, doctor, and that is that the president said it would be unlikely if we had a case in this country. Unlikely to even have one case. You want to see the tape again?

EMANUEL: He said there wouldn't be an Ebola outbreak.

MATTHEWS: No, and in the second part of his sentence he said in the unlikely case someone brings it here. In the unlikely case someone brings it here. Well, they've done it. We're living in the world of the unlikely already. That's all I'm saying. I'm not fear mongering. I'm stating the facts and I wonder if everybody else is.

Later in the segment, despite Emanuel’s reassurance the United States could handle Ebola, Matthews reacted by noting President Barack Obama was incorrect with his statement two weeks earlier.

Partial transcript as follows:

EMANUEL: The reason we can be assured here that this isn't going to be a major outbreak is we have a CDC that can do very good contact tracing. We have a very good health system that takes universal precautions on all patients, with the gloves. And you're not regularly in contact with people's bodily fluids the way it is much more common in Liberia. I think those things distinguish it. And I don't think we should get into a panic because we were reassured it would never be in the United States.

MATTHEWS: No, the president said it was unlikely two weeks ago. Well, it's not the unlikely, it has happened. It's here.

The Congressional Black Caucus is up in arms because Obama's Bureau of Indian Affairs is going to recognize an Indian tribe called the Pamunkeys that forbids it's members from marrying anything but other Indians or whites. Negroes don't make the cut. Not wanted. Stay out. Not in their teepees.

I wonder if anyone in the black caucus knows that at least two Indian tribes owned African slaves.
 
this is delicious coming from tingles. its like he is admitting he was a fool for loving this guy.
its not that Obama's leftist statist ideas have destroyed this country over his time like the left has destroyed everywhere else...


its the bad advice coming from the little worlds of Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama.

Chris Matthews criticized President Obama for being "intellectually lazy" and "listening to the same voices all the time" on Wednesday's broadcast of MSNBC's Hardball. Matthews singled out close Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett and even First Lady Michelle Obama.

"Let's get tough here," Matthews said. "Is this the problem of a second term that presidents get lazy, intellectually lazy, and cut off from the country and they start picking deputies for jobs instead of looking for the best people?"

"The lazy thing to do is somebody leaves, you promote their deputy. This is, I think, part of the endemic problem of second terms," Matthews observed.

"Presidents should go out and look for people," Matthews said about the lack of fresh blood in the White House. "Or else they get atrophied into that little world of people like Valerie [Jarrett] and Mrs. Obama and you're just listening to the same voices all the time."

Yesterday, Matthews criticized Obama for claiming it was "unlikely" that a case of Ebola would occur in the United States.

"The president said it was unlikely two weeks ago. Well, it's not the unlikely, it has happened. It's here," Matthews said.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let's get tough here. Is this the problem of a second term that presidents get lazy, intellectually lazy, and cut off from the country and they start picking deputies for jobs instead of looking for the best people? The lazy thing to do is somebody leaves, you promote their deputy. This is, I think, part of the endemic problem of second terms. They don't go out and mix with people, find new people, new hotshots to fill these jobs. They just keep promoting the person whose turn it is and they're not as good as the person they picked the first time...

MATTHEWS: And before you get me accusing this president of being physically lazy. I think there is a social kind of laziness. Refusing to reach out and meet a lot new people and check a lot of possibilities. Don't just go with the next person in line. And I really think this second term cabinet is not up to the first term cabinet because they never are. And you know that, Roger. They just never are.

Kennedy went out and met people like [Robert] McNamara and [Dean] Rusk and he went looking for them and he put them into the best slots he could. And he talked them into it, he recruited people he didn't even know [and] he recruited them. Presidents should go out and look for people. They should be practicing affirmative action all the time in leading or else they get atrophied into that little world of people like Valerie [Jarrett] and Mrs. Obama and you're just listening to the same voices all the time.

I know it is a rigorous demand but it's a real one. Or else you're going to get smaller as your presidency goes on and therefore more vulnerable to surprises.

http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-...Obamas-Economic-Recovery-We-Have-Two-Americas

Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell slammed President Obama's economic recovery saying Friday's good job numbers don't tell the whole story because labor force participation levels are at a historic low.
Mittchell said, “I’m not echoing Reince Priebus, because he is obviously partisan and that’s his job, but if you look at the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Financial Times, all the reporting on the jobs data from Friday reported that participation rate is at historic lows, decade lows. 59% are involved in the labor force. That’s just not a sustainable recovery. We have two Americas. We really do.”
