The left pounding him about the Libby issue only re-inforces my point. Many on the right felt he was too left, and vice versa for the left. Overall he was down the middle much more than most. Russert's complete body of work leaves him in the category of the good guys.

Honestly, this isn't about Libby, it could be about the Clintons for all I care. The fact of the matter is "when [he talks] to senior government officials on the phone, it's [his] policy [that the] conversations are confidential. If [he wants] to use anything from that conversation, then [he] will ask permission [to do so]." If his body of work is based on his relationship with the establishment what exactly is his role?

John McCain is a regular on the show and Gregory never challenges the crap that he spews out of his mouth. He'll ask McCain, do you think President Obama is reaching out to Republicans? Like what the eff is McCain suppose to do, hold Obama up to God and call him wonderful? No follow-up questions, no examples of Obama reaching accross the aisle. Nothing. Just let McCain ramble on and then on to the next question. What, last week he had Dick Armey on the program. A few weeks before that, Fred Thompson. Fred freaking Thompson!? Good god man, I'd rather you exume Reagan's corpse and have him on before you put old man Thompson in front of me pretending that he's credible.

I've sat in amazement Sunday after Sunday hoping that Gregory will one day live up to the standard Russert has set only to come away disappointed. We do agree on one thing, however, Steph's show is better than MTP. But not by much.

Like I said, I don't watch it. John McCain is a Republican?

Ummm...last time I checked, he ran for president as a Republican. I could be mistaken though.

Obama can speak English at a 12 grade level

Obama doesn't embarrass the United States whenever he speaks.

Obama is opened minded. He's not like, "your for me or against me."

Obama will actually take questions from Republicans at a town hall style event.

Obama doesn't go on vacation when his country needs him the most.

Obama has gotten under much better ties with North Korea and Russia and Muslims.

Obama is bringing the Iraq war to a close. Hopefully, the 2011 date will hold true................but at least we have a date when most forces will be out of Iraq.

Things he's done wrong -

Talking to Republicans..........talking to a dumbass is like trying to get Bush to "stand up" during an attack. Its hard, very hard, to get your point across to someone that has a low IQ. Obama has failed miserably at that. You see, Public Option plan? It sounds weird. It sounds complicated. Its hard to understand what is public about an option? But, Death Panel is easy to understand, Illegal Immigrant coverage is easy. Abortion coverage is easy. And thats what Repubicans get. You see, he needs to understand who he's talking to. If he had come out and said something easy and something simple his Health Care Plan would have already passed. Something like "Medicare for all" or "Poor Man's Plan" or "Affordable Health Care" or "GrandMa's plan" People.............Republicans..........could have understood that better and thats Obama's Problem. He really needs to understand who he's talking to when he wants bipartisanship and Keep It Simple. Hopefully, he'll be better at this when its time for the Employee Free Choice Act to pass.

He's on vacation now, same as every other President during August. This was always and always will be a dumb criticism or positive. Every President is on call and notified throughout each day.

Actually I perfer when congress and the president are on vacation because then they are not sitting around waisting more of our tax money. Heck, I'd give them the year off if they would just leave things alone and I'd say that no matter which party is in office.
