Christina Bellatoni, blathering about the right’s cruel misinterpretation of Obama’s “the private sector is doing fine.” gaffe:

“The Republicans pounced on this by using Twitter and some other social media to get many, many people to join in, and then I think that a lot of news networks and news organizations feel compelled – ‘Oh, something’s blowing up on Twitter. We NEED to cover this, in a way.'”
Huh. She just described the exact method by which every White House talking point is propagated.
Except when Democrats do it, it’s simply showing Grassroots Concern about a subject that’s Very Important to the American People.
Until it backfires in a smoking cloud of conservative mockery, at which point they move on to the next talking point.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat
Still, there’s nothing more amusing than the frothing frustration liberals work up when they realize YET AGAIN that the administration will always get its ass shot off on the 140-character battlefield.
Liberals are such crybabies. They always were. Now they’re cybercrybabies.
It’s just not fair how when Obama says something people repeat it verbatim to others and laugh at his stupidity.
Yes, SoB, it is unfair and racist to quote Ear Leader, especially quoting him in context. Just as it was unfair “Swiftboating” to tell the truth about John F’ing Kerry (he served in Viet Nam, you know), as it was unfair and racist to prosecute William “Cold Cash” Jefferson for bribery, as it is unfair and racist to quote Shiela Jackson Leigh accurately (hey, Shiela, has Guam tipped over yet?)
Here’s the REAL irony – This link is from MEDIA MATTERS!!!! Apparently they think her pontifications are so spot on that they wanted to share them with the world!
Classic misdirection by the moderator. The scandal is that Obama believes that his own “jobs created” numbers provide an accurate picture of the private sector of the economy.
The travesty is that both Romney and Obama fight over who would better manage the economy when neither of them should have anything to do with it.
