\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, to the news. As America\u2019s Anchorman, I am finding something very curious. <\/p>\n

You know, a couple days ago Obama went out there and really behaved in an inappropriate, uncouth way. It was certainly no class. There was no dignity in what he did. He went out and paid lip service to people being shot at the Navy yard and then launched into a partisan attack filled with untruths<\/a> and misrepresentations about the Republicans as it relates to the upcoming continuing resolution fight, the debt ceiling fight, the defunding of Obamacare and all that. <\/p>\n

<\/a>He just launched into \u2019em, and here I have here the Mediaite has a story<\/a> on Andrea Mitchell (NBC News, Washington) and Chuck Todd sitting around worrying that Obama really did blow it, that his behavior a couple days ago was one of the worst mistakes he could have made for the low-information crowd, because they can\u2019t cover for it. They can\u2019t explain it away. They\u2019ve tried, “Oh, he\u2019s so busy; oh, he\u2019s got so many responsibilities,” but they can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

So Andrea Mitchell and F. Chuck were surmising that at the White House, well, they really wish they had that day back. It really doesn\u2019t seem like they\u2019ve got their footing here. “First on Syria and now this,” said Andrea Mitchell (NBC News, Washington), and then F. Chuck said, “Yeah, I think they wish they had yesterday back. They\u2019re not saying it, they\u2019re not saying it, but you can feel it.” Grab sound bite number 13. I think this is part of it, anyway. <\/p>\n

This is F. Chuck on CNBC\u2019s Power Lunch yesterday talking about Obama\u2019s speech and his appearance and everything, and the co-host at CNBC said, “The president\u2019s been criticized the past 24 hours, making a speech about the financial crisis, the speech came in the middle of the shootings,” blah, blah, blah. F. Chuck, “is this an instance of a guy who\u2019s usually very tone adroit?” Have you ever heard that phrase, “tone adroit”? For those of you in Rio Linda, that means skilled. So what they mean is here\u2019s a guy who\u2019s really aware of his surroundings. But he was tone deaf that day, F. Chuck?<\/p>\n

F. CHUCK TODD: Their official stance on this — and I\u2019ve talked to aides, and I hear no regrets on what they did, that they defend what they did and they feel like they addressed all the major topics of the day. The shooting at the top of his remarks, then the Syria thing and then going into the fifth anniversary. But I get the sense that, had they had to do it over again, that they might have done things differently, maybe stacked the speech differently, maybe not had people behind him. I could tell you, it just seemed off.<\/p>\n

SUE HERERA: It just didn\u2019t feel right. It just didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n
