Todd, Halperin agree that right-wing critics of Obama's speech seem to have had criticism prepared "in advance"

Halperin adds: "Whatever Obama says, they're gonna disagree reflexively"

      They were also prepared with canned retorts for the Obama talk to school kids. The only one they did not have ready was the one pres Obama actually spoke.. Hahahaha so much for making upstuff.

      At least Todd tries to be fair. That is the only way he can get more preferential access to the WH and help further his own career. He is still a light weight IMHO!

      I saw this today and laughed out loud. It was kind of like that doofus who gave the response to Obama's address to the joint session. It made no sense. I've seen lawyers give rebuttals in closing arguments like that . . . they try to anticipate what the Defense lawyer is going to say in closing and are completely wrong . . . makes them look really stupid.

      God forbid they accidentally pull the wrong response off of the shelf.

      Fox: Today's outrage: Obama is speaking live to our schoolchildren! Should this indoctrination be allowed to continue?

      Colmes: Uh, Gretchin, that was last month. Barack is speaking at the G8 summit today.

      Fox: OMG! He's expanding his indoctrination of schoolchildren to other nations!

      I think Todd is pretending he doesn't know this. It's a freaking show, and he's one of the performing monkey. Most reasonable, rational news followers should be pretty damn aware that the right wing noise machine is organize, propagandized and wealthy.

      Follow the money, d-bag.

      Yeah yeah. They do this all the time. And they're going to continue to do it as long as idiots continue to buy into their bs and noone calls them on it.
