MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell: Obama Never Said He Went Skeet Shooting – New Republic Editor Who Conducted Interview: Actually, Yes He Did…
Mitchell gives pathetic hacks a bad name.
Via Newsbusters:
How big of an Obama lapdog is Andrea Mitchell? Even bigger than ardent Obama fan Chris Hughes. The Facebook co-founder, who bought the New Republic last year, recently scored an interview with President Obama that has been criticized for its generally soft questioning. But during an appearance on Mitchell’s MSNBC show today, even Hughes was more candid about the prez than Mitchell.
When it came to the President’s statement during the interview that at Camp David “we do skeet shooting all the time,” Mitchell claimed “he didn’t say that he was skeet shooting, but he does say that it’s one of the practices at Camp David by his guests.” Responding, Hughes effectively contradicted her: “Frank Foer, the editor of New Republic, actually asked him point blank ’have you ever fired a gun?’ And in response he said “yeah, we go skeet shooting all the time up at Camp David. He and his guests. Which is news to us and news to a lot of people.”

Obama On Illegal Immigrants: “Yes, They Broke the Rules … But These 11 Million Men and Women Are Now Here”…
Exactly, they broke the rules, why should they be rewarded for that? My wife’s family waited for years to come to America the legal way.

Right now, we have 11 million undocumented immigrants in America. 11 million men and women from all over the world who live their lives in the shadows. Yes, they broke the rules. They crossed the border illegally. Maybe they overstayed their visas. Those are the facts. Nobody disputes them. But these 11 million men and women are now here. Many of them have been here for years and an overwhelming majority of these individuals aren’t looking for trouble.
- gopher ... Since you seem intent on embarrassing yourself with the same tired meaningless cliche response to anything at all critical of Obama, kindly refresh my memory. Now that Obama is into his fifth year as president, is there anything - ANYTHING AT ALL - that you would blame on him or hold him responsible for or criticize him on? Anything at all?
- If there is not anything that you would blame on Obama or hold him responsible for or criticize him on, then he must be just the most perfect president and peerless leader in human history. It is too bad that all of his pre-presidential records such as his grades and his IQ test results and his SATs and so on are under presidential seal and guarded from the public more securely than the nuclear launch codes or else you could prove to us doubters how perfect he really is. Hey, maybe you should move a motion here and if it has legs on a larger stage for the coronation of Obama as Supreme Leader for Life? Think about it. You're welcome.

And the circus continues as usual/ Only the ring master changes and the clowns are in the audience.
Obama is hostile to working and middle class white americans imo. He is not our president. He means us harm.

Do you mean it is payback time?
If you bothered to read my posts rather than be blinded by your hate you would realize that I BLAME OBAMA FOR THE RECORD PROFITS MADE BY CORPORATIONS --- BIGGEST SINCE 1900.
REMEMBER?????????
Naturally, the right wing ignores his success in that regard.

That's why so many white middle class folks voted for him.
Here's another reason:

- Go back into your hole, gopher. As usual, your ignorance is boundless and your bias is obvious. In fact, Obama lost the White vote in 2012 by a full 20 points - 39% to 59% for Romney - which is 8% worse than BO did in 2008 against McCain. What saved him was the monolithic racist vote of the Blacks which went to him 93% to just 6% for Romney and the quasi-racist vote of the Hispanics/Latinos which went to him by 71% to just 27% for Romney. Among White voters, Obama lost by a sizable margin just not as huge a margin as the more monolithic non-White vote supporting him no matter what.

Changing Face of America Helps Assure Obama Victory
Barack Obama retained enough support from key elements of his base to win reelection, even as he lost ground nationally since 2008. In particular, Obama maintained wide advantages among young people, women, minorities, and both the less affluent and the well-educated.
Overall, Obama benefited from relatively strong turnout – both nationally and in key battleground states – among young people and minorities. Obama won voters younger than 30 by a somewhat smaller margin than he did four years ago, but these voters made up about as large a share of the electorate as they did in 2008, according to national exit polls conducted by the National Election Pool. Moreover, African Americans, Latinos and Asian Americans backed Obama by huge margins.
Post Election Analysis
Latino Voters in the 2012 Election
A Milestone En Route to a Majority Minority Nation
Nationally, nonwhite voters made up 28% of all voters, up from 26% in 2008. Obama won 80% of these voters, the same as four years ago.
Obama’s support from nonwhites was a critical factor in battleground states, especially Ohio and Florida. In Ohio, blacks were 15% of the electorate, up from 11% in 2008. In Florida, Hispanics were 17% of the electorate, a slight increase from 14% in 2008. While minority compositional gains were not huge, they offset a strong tilt against Obama among white voters. Nationally, Romney won the white
vote, 59% to 39%.Owing to comparatively strong turnout from Obama’s base, the composition of the electorate in 2012 was strikingly similar to that of four years ago: Nationally, Democrats made up 38% of all voters, Republicans 32% and independents 24%. This enabled Obama to win re-election even though he lost the independent vote. Romney won independents by a 50% to 46% margin. Four years ago, Obama carried independents by 52% to 44%.
Evidence of the demographic transformation of the electorate is seen in the profiles of each candidate’s supporters: Fully 89% of Romney’s were white non-Hispanics, compared with just 56% of Obama’s supporters. Romney managed to better McCain’s showing among whites by four percentage points – and still lost the election.
Continued support from women was also an important factor that helped Obama stay above water in the swing states of Florida, Virginia and Ohio. He held or improved his 2008 margins among women in all three states, while losing support among men. Nationally, Obama won women voters by nearly as much he did in 2008.
Obama’s advantages among women, minorities and young people helped offset his continued weakness among white voters. Obama’s falloff in white support was broad-based, crossing many demographics – working class whites, college graduates and even women.
The economy was clearly the dominant issue of the election, but the extent to which voters held Obama accountable for their economic frustrations was limited. Nationally, 59% said the economy is the most important issue facing the country, but voters overall were divided over which candidate could do a better job on the issue: 48% said Obama, while 49% said Romney. However, by a 53% to 38% margin, voters blamed Bush, not Obama, for the economic problems the nation is facing.Obama also was aided by nascent economic optimism. By a 39% to 30% margin, more said the national economy is getting better rather than getting worse, and given the very strong correlation between that opinion and vote choice, that cut in Obama’s favor.
When it comes to how people feel about their own financial situation, more said they are worse off today than four years ago than better off, and most of those who expressed that opinion supported Romney. Yet importantly, a plurality of voters (41%) said they are doing the about same today as four years ago. These voters backed Obama by a wide margin (58%-40%).
Voters’ views of Obama were similar to those of George W. Bush eight years ago. After falling below 50% in job approval for much of the year, he reached 53% approval on Election Day – the same as Bush’s in 2004.
The biggest national trend in Romney’s favor was the public’s distaste for more expansive government. More voters said government is doing too many things than said government should do more, by 51% to 43%. But a populist streak regarding the lack of fairness in the system cuts the opposite way. Most voters (55%) say the U.S. economic system generally favors the wealthy, compared with 39% who say it is fair to most Americans. And a majority thought that Romney’s policies would favor the rich, while a plurality thought Obama policies would favor the middle class.
Romney improved his personal image substantially over the course of the campaign, but in the end he still was not as viewed as favorably as Obama. The national exit polls found that 47% viewed Romney favorably, up substantially from a low of 29% of registered voters in March during the bruising GOP primary. However, on Election Day, 53% viewed Obama favorably
