NBC: CPAC Speakers 'Battle For the Base'; Try to 'Outdo Each Other Taking Apart Obama'

With an on-screen headline describing the annual Conservative Political Action Conference as a "Battle for the Base," correspondent Kelly O'Donnell remarked: "...the Republican Party stars are, in essence, competing to outdo each other taking apart President Obama. From Florida, Senator Marco Rubio....to those former candidates who gave the primary season a fleeting spark."

Earlier in the report, O'Donnell proclaimed that Rick Santorum had "...pounded away again at the White House for its battle over contraception coverage with the Church" in a campaign speech on the campaign trail.

Here is a portion of the February 10 report:

(...)

7:03AM ET

KELLY O'DONNELL: Rick Santorum, fresh off his three wins and his largest crowd. About 4,000 at Oral Roberts University, a Christian school where Santorum pounded away again at the White House for its battle over contraception coverage with the Church.

SANTORUM: You know, it's the Catholic Church. But it's the Catholic Church first. It won't be the last if they get away with it.

O'DONNELL: Newt Gingrich, who has had a quiet campaign week, will be on stage today at the conference, too. Aides say he will claim to be the only candidate for big change. At the conference, the Republican Party stars are, in essence, competing to outdo each other taking apart President Obama. From Florida, Senator Marco Rubio:

MARCO RUBIO: The President of the United States looks like he's a really good father, looks like he's a really good husband, but he is a terrible president.

O'DONNELL: To those former candidates who gave the primary season a fleeting spark.

MICHELE BACHMANN: Which is why Barack Obama cannot have a second term as president.

HERMAN CAIN: He says on TV, and I quote, "I deserve another term." For what?

RICK PERRY: If it's halftime in America, I'm fearful of what the final score's going to be if we let this president start the second half as the quarterback.

Oh dear, did NBC just figure out that this election will be about Obama's failed policies and his disastrous first term?

Obama's record takes itself 'apart'

Submitted by Slyrr on Sat, 02/11/2012 - 12:30am.

Earth to Liberal Media:

Obama's record takes ITSELF apart.

Your man-child commie messiah and his greedy wife are an utter failure. He had a chance to be great as 'the first black President' (a title that he, and all you libutards were soooo proud of), but his dismal incompetence and idiocy have been so bad, so divisive, and so destructive that he's probably ruined it for any other black man who wants to run for President. Any future candidates will have all of America looking back on the disaster that was Obama and think, 'After how Obama screwed up the country to we REALLY want another 'first black president'...?'

I haven't forgotten how Obama and his corrupt cabinet laughed and chuckled at the suffering of the American people. They were yukking it up in front of the TV cameras while all of America cried out for leadership. While the people were losing jobs, losing their houses, losing hope, going hungry and groaning in despair, Obama was laughing.

He called them 'bumps', you liberals. All the people that Obama has put out of business. All the people whose jobs he has destroyed. All the people who have lost their houses, lost thier livelihood, lost all hope. Obama laughed at them and sneered and called them 'bumps'. Bumps to be rolled over. Bumps to be flattened, stomped on, squashed. Bumps, he said, on HIS road to re-election.

Obama's record takes ITSELF apart.

If a Liberal/Democrat politician/media figure wants to put their arms around you, or pat you on the back, all they're doing is looking for a good place to stick a knife.
