Scrubbing Obama

60 Minutes Alters Obama Transcript
Exclusive
Obama Caused White House Breakdown- Limbo
During the 60 Minutes interview with Obama Sunday night came this question:
KROFT: But what is there specifically about you? You mentioned disposition. You mentioned disposition. What skills and traits do you have that would make you a good president?
Below is the transcript of Obama's ridiculous answer, which you can view to the right.
OBAMA: Look, I'm a practical person. One of the things I'm good at is getting people in a room with a bunch of different ideas. Who sometimes violently disagree with each other. And finding common ground. And a sense of common direction, and that's the kind of approach I think that prevents you from making some of the enormous mistakes that we've seen over the last eight years.
Now look at how 60 Minutes rendered it on their web site.
OBAMA: Yeah. You know I am very good at analyzing complicated problems. Hearing all voices. Getting all perspectives. And then taking some decisive action in terms of moving us in a direction that's gonna solve the problem. And you know, that was true when I worked across the aisle on issues like ethics reform, or nuclear proliferation. It's been true when I was in the state legislation, when I provided tax cuts to people who needed them. But also made sure that, as we were moving women from welfare to work g blah-blah-blah.
Quite a difference, eh wot? It's obvious that somebody at CBS also recognized what an idiot Obama looked like, and tried to repair the record - which is what's happened to Obama's record since he was a baby. I wanted the transcript to punctuate this account of how Obama caused yesterday's White House negotiating conference to go up in flames. You haven't heard this version on CBS either. Nor will you. From Rush Limbaugh, earlier today.

I always kind of figured he was "hearing voices".

Gotta love how the MSM alters Obama's interviews so he doesn't look like a total moron, while Palin gets the opposite treatment and they try their darndest to make her look bad. We discuss this sort of mistreatment at http://sarahpalinforum.org.

Just terminate that stupid piece of drek by ending his political career in 40 days.

He claims to be a facilitator? Great. Just what we need. A touch-feely-get-your-head-together TQM type running the White House.

If you search the transcript, you'll see that all of his broadcast statement is in the record. However, it looks like the first line came from the middle of his answer. The next line came from the end of his answer to an entirely different question!

I think the real scandal is comparing this to ABC's treatment of Palin. ABC cut out anything that made her sound reasonable. CBS cut out all of Obama's blather, wandering for an answer to why he should be President and turned it into a short crisp soundbite for him.
