MSNBC Hosts In ‘Really Deep’ Segment
On Need To Call Him ‘President Barack
Obama’ In Every Single Reference

Mediaite, by Noah Rothman

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 1/12/2013 5:16:13 AM

On Friday, MSNBC’s The Cycle investigated the outrage directed at cohost Steve Kornacki, as well as other journalists, for referring to President Barack Obama simply as “Obama” after the first reference. Seriously and without irony, this happened. And the hosts of The Cycle performed this auspicious duty without screaming obscenities or throwing objects into the cameras. It is a feat that I doubt I could replicate. Kornacki says he was inundated by angry emails and tweets from the president’s supporters after he referred to Obama on the second reference as simply “Obama.” Rather than dismiss this nonsensical

Obama´s not my president so I won´t call him that even one time.Maybe after being in a FEMA camp and getting daily beatings,I will but not right now.

FTA: Krystal Ball said that it was understandable that Obama’s supporters became incensed over the supposed slight by Kornacki because he has been so disproportionately disrespected compared to other presidents.

... disproportionately disrespected ...

By someone named Krystal Ball ...

Did she say that with a straight face?
[Now I remember why I haven´t watched this cable in so many years... ]

MSNBC has such a poor collective memory...not one of them ever used "president" when addressing or reporting on President George W. Bush. Bush was the politest thing they used to address him!

To me he is just The Obamboozler.

This comes from a network many of whose political commentators insisted on referring to GWB as "Mister Bush" instead of "President Bush" during George´s two terms in the White House. And that makes this conversation about Obama just plain hypocritical and shamelessly partisan.

I´m with #4.

Saw Erin Burnett call Bush 43 a "monkey" when she was on CNBC business news. She´s an idiot. Moved to someother cable channel where they need more idiots.

And obama (small "o") is not my President either. I don´t think he´s even a U.S. Citizen.

It is apparent that Kenya Boy´s supporters lost all of their memory of the 8 years prior to Kenya Boy. It a sad thing when a large part of the populace is inflicted with dementia. Let me remind them that President Bush was disrespected by the media and the "low information" voters far more than any president since FDR.

It is apparent that dementia has them in its grip and won´t let go.

Bill Clinton started this in a debate with President G.H.W. Bush when he continually referred to him as just -Bush, during the debate. It was intentional belittling and infuriating to me. Now that the shoe´s on the other foot, it isn´t so funny to the left (although I doubt MSNBC means to diss 0bama). That´s right, zero-bama. Now there´s some disrespect! I always refer to him in that fashion. Guess I won´t be on MSNBC any time soon.

I call him President Fingerman because he is so juvenile in his behaviour. And the media has a serious case of ammnesia over their treatment of both Presidents Bush.

What is it with blacks and the whole "you disrespected me" thing? Don´t they know respect isn´t an automatic right, it has to be earned? Or has that too gone out the door in "post-racial" America?

I´d tell you what I call him but then I would be blocked. I treat him with the same respect that he treats me. None.

Actually, the MSNBC style manual refers to Dear Leader(US) by his full title:

"our lord and savior, the magnificent and glorious leader and conquerer of us all, President Barack Hussein Obama, may his name be praised and his word be law."

"President Barack Obama" is their shorthand designation.

“Oh-oh, yes, I´m The Great Pretender

My need is such I pretend too much
I´m lonely but no one can tell.”

Lonely, even when surrounded by a cluster of armed bodyguards to which you and I are not entitled. He’s simply more equal than us.

Yet, they constantly called, President Bush simply, ´Bush´.

WASHINGTON, - The Obama administration opened the door to a new era of U.S. energy exports on Friday, approving the first liquefied natural gas project since the start of a heated debate over how best to benefit from the shale energy boom. The Energy Department´s approval of unrestricted natural gas exports from Freeport LNG´s Quintana Island, Texas, terminal ends nearly a two-year pause in its review of export applications as the administration addressed concerns that sending unlimited amounts of domestic gas abroad could harm U.S. manufacturers. While the approval had been widely expected after growing signals

Although skillful and clever throughout, Dan Brown’s Inferno is finally more of a gateway argument on behalf of population control than a simple thriller about Dante, Florence, or bioterror. Considered as a whole, the novel serves as something like a “gateway to the Posthuman age,” as the seeming villain of the novel says when describing the goal of his plot. While the gateways in Dante lead either to Hell and self-knowledge or to Mount Purgatorio and a climb to the stars, this novel leads the reader into a brave new world of genetic engineering and suggests

Do Americans have a right to expect that firefighters responding to calls from their neighborhoods will always be the best-trained, most capable individuals available? Not if the U.S. Department of Justice has its way. That´s the disturbing message from a discrimination suit DOJ filed against the New York City Fire Department alleging that it discriminated against black and Hispanic applicants. Oddly enough, the case was not based on any particular act of discrimination. It was based purely on the fact that somebody somewhere decided that too many NYFD applicants had failed a job exam. The DOJ argued that these multiple failures

The Kommersant daily said it was probable that the suspected agent Ryan Fogle - officially a diplomat - was looking for information on the Tsarnaev brothers, who are alleged to have carried out the Marathon bombings. It linked the Mr Fogle´s capture, which threatens to further stress ties between Washington and Moscow, to a trip that a US delegation made to Dagestan in April in coordination with the Russian authorities to investigate the blasts. Suspected bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev travelled to the region of Dagestan in 2012 and US authorities are eager to see if he built up contacts

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

‘What would you be focusing on in the Benghazi investigation?” I spent many years in the investigation biz, so it’s only natural that I’ve been asked that question a lot lately. I had the good fortune to be trained in Rudy Giuliani’s U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan. Rudy famously made his mark by making law enforcement reflect what common sense knew: Enterprises take their cues from the top. Criminal enterprises are no different: The capos do not carry out the policy of the button-men — it’s the other way around. So if I were investigating Benghazi,

East Germany’s Ministry for State Security, also known as the Stasi, posed a major challenge during my three-year stint as an attache at the U.S. Embassy in Bonn during the 1960s. Detecting and preventing Stasi agents from penetrating the security of U.S. diplomatic facilities in West Germany was a 24-7 undertaking. The East German secret police were even more ruthless and relentless in operations against their own citizens. Political suppression in that communist state was total. There was no room for dissent. Thousands of East Germans were arbitrarily imprisoned for “internal security” reasons.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
