CNN: President Obama caught on open mic
Uploaded on Apr 15, 2011 by CNN
The White House is downplaying some behind-the-scenes remarks made about the budget battle that were caught on tape.
The description is wrong. The narrator acts as if this was a 'gotcha' moment, when it is anything but.
Even the video doesn't fit the description when it says, 'The White House is downplaying...' since they said they had nothing to apologize for.
This leads to their meme that 'Obama is weak,' or 'arrogant.' How very GOP of them!
But then, CNN was taken over by the tabloid guy who's done nothing but feed viewers BS for years.
This is same crew who had talks with Beck about bringing him to prime time on CNN this week.

You're welcome. The Prez has a clear head on his shoulders and is on top of things.

Well, we KNOW the GOP is stupid. Evil and dangerous, but stupid on top of it.

The GOP should be apologizing for politicizing the budget process to pander to their base. "You think we're stupid?" - well said Mr President, because I really think they think you are. Thanks for sharing this freshwest.
