« Dan Rather & Andrea Mitchell Tell Chris Matthews: Obama Screwed Up Pushing Healthcare (VIDEO & Transcript) »
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: The President's determination to get healthcare against all odds has even some Democrats wishing he had chosen to pursue jobs, something far less partisan. Congress watcher Charlie Cook calls it, "One of the biggest miscalculations in modern political history." Dan, he has made the decision. It's healthcare. Bad choice?
DAN RATHER, HDNET: Bad choice. Particularly looking back on it. Jobs should have been the first choice. Smart choice for him. Not saying that healthcare is not important, but your question is, was it a mistake, at least in hindsight? Absolutely. Because the economy is what it's about, jobs, jobs, jobs.
MATTHEWS: Okay, in foresight. Now that he has made the call and he sunk his teeth into this and his feet into this. Does he have to win on healthcare this month?
RATHER: Absolutely positively without question he's got to win on this. [...]
ANDREA MITCHELL, NBC: I agree with Dan and everyone here that this was a big miscalculation to go into it. But now that they're into it, they've got to win it.

Have you gone off your rocker? The people you chose for this post would be the last three to realize Obama is a fraud & failure and the last three to admit that Obama is a fraud & failure. Lately, you have posted out of frustration and it says a lot about your state of mind. If you get your bearings from those three amigos, what's next what's next what's next.
How about some Krauthammer?
Lock the door when you go to the bathroom................................... I dont need to know if you pull the TP from above or from below.....but some how if you pulled from above so you could have the Hotel Point, you would be wrong again.
And please dont bend over and pick up the bar of soap in the Shower........its got to be something in the water in DC, gots-to-be...? But realy, some people evan if you spelled it out for them above the piece, you would still get jumped on.
Thanks Again, for having the strength to always keep yr cool. & gobias...watch the clip and read the piece first. Then look for the message. Then you'll have something to add to this thread instead of telling us you dident check it out.
Come on, the message is that the "D's" and the mieda are turnning on BHO and everything he dose kinda. Evan the Talking Mouth for NBC is telling us whats going wrong , on the inside. Hes doing such a great job at telling us whats wrong inside his far-left party DB gave him a subtitle name before his first name......................
All the names he has created, it is like he is trying to creat his own fan club.
But it is O.K., they know him there...
Guess im one of those living back in the "Black & White" TV Days. When people wake up and find out that the world is nothing like they have been lead to believe................................................"Look Out"..........................................Blood will run in the streets. !
Barry S. You got something to say, or let us in on, so DB can report it before the media gets it in 10-16 days from now......................! Berry S. Our ears are wide open now ?
You never stop making me laugh. Thank you.
Texas, do you also consider them "center-left"? Would that be left of Obama or right of Obama?
You won't answer but if you did, you could entertain me almost as much as DB does.
I learned many years ago to make everyone in Dar's show a star, and then I could be one too....................If they are good, maby I can be good to.
If you throw a "Tea Party Seed" in the dirt, all it need is "Water&Sun" and it will grow. You may not like what you get, but it will grow. The more water&sun it gets, the stronger it will be.
Its sad to think but its down to, "Do You Drink Our Beer"....................................or.........................do you drink "BHO-Beer"...................its either-or....? Yr with us, or yr Agunist us & America.
I cant spell for shit, but I feel the peoples pain. I can play "Grand Ol Opry" till they say Uncle................................or .till the cows come home.

The young'est is 8, oldest is 12. & That my Friend is the Center Line of the American People. All we ask is that the goverment is back to a point whAre it was in 1910, before the IMF took it over and made the mess were in today.
You can dieviate from the road and go into the ditch all you want to. The out come is the same. Your either south bound, or north bound. If your runnin down the ditch, yr not one of us.
It gets real simple my friend...........................We either get back to a point whAre goverment works for the American People, or you get out. Im on the 6th play now. Being a singer-guy, I lived for that family harmony, and these girls can put Dar to shame with what they do.................................................got that "Gobby"........................................................
OH, did you take time to hear the words.............................? This is the center line of the road. Its best with yr eyes closed, but then you'll need a Bib, to catch all the water.......................................................................
WhAre is that "Left & Right"............ out in the Ditch, the field, the gutter, laying in the Alley, thier not on the road with the American People, that for sure......................... Play It Again........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKCVS57j284&feature=channel
Tell these girls they dont have a right to sing this song of the American People, go a head, try it....? Tell them thier goverment is out to destroy them and any happyness they thought they were going to live.
This is the Pride of the American People, and they have the road. Its now yr choice as to whAre you want to stand in life. Right Needs to be Right, once more. We need to put the American People first, and goverment 2nd.
Am I the proudest person out there, NO, but I know im on the same Fricccccccckin road these girls are on, and thAre aine a sole out on the hiway center line that could shove me of the center road.......................
Its not that I couldent, wouldent, or wanted to answer yr question "Gobby", it just took Dar time to find my best represention of the American People, becouse that bAMA sHIT-hEAD, fUCKED up my puter, and I lost everything.......................
And thats the chance I tok to drive down the roan of the American People,.............................................will you.......................? "Goober"....................................?
Im out of tears, and supper is on the table. 11 times now hearing the Tumble Weeds, sing the American Peoples Song....................
I've now answered yr question "Goooooby", the ball is in your hands now. You either sing with us, or get off the Frrrrrickkkkking Hiway, and the "Center-Line" you wanted someone to define for you.
You dont need to join us, just plese dont use us for your benifet to "Puff Up Yr Feathers" and think you are big enought to take these girls down singing our song, "OK"......................................................... Please ?
They are bigger that you will ever be. But its not to late to come a round. We take in anybody that can see how bad the pot holes in the hiway have gotten..................... "OK"......................................... Texas Dar & Pure Country Band !
