Gotcha! Olbermann Rips Apart Bush Economy Speech

Last night on "Countdown," Keith Olbermann ripped apart President Bush's speech on the economy, fact-checking each claim and dismantling Bush's case point-by-point. It was reminiscent of this clip from February, where Keith presented a detailed timeline of the Bush administration's political exploitation of the terror threat.

Olbermann's report on the phoney terror warnings by Homeland Security to deflect Administration's lies and agressions deserves concern for further impeachment proceeding not only for President Bush and V.P Cheney but Chertoff and everybody he documented from his predecessor...to Powell and the A.G. and George Tenant

What is amazing is that the Jewish / Israili ? Zionist cabal of TV , NYT and Hollywood have been bringing up Holocaust stories and movies to deflect Israels acts of aggression and violence..for years.....just as these contemtible Jewish traitors. ...including George Bush who is a pawn of the cabal who want us in Iraq...who want us to attack Iran
Read the "Holocaust Industry " by Norman Fikelstein and you will puke.

Funny....Chertoff , Liebermann, and Tennant.......guess what they are?

[Betrayedcitizen]

BTW.....Did you ever see George Bush get all worried and concerned about the safety of Israel?

It's like he is so protective of this defenseless 'infant .....one has to beg the question....Why Mr President do you not give one bit of concern for this country that supports you and your family like royalty.? Massive illegal immigration, Corruption in Iraq and at home.....millions of lost mnufacturing jobs.......Dear friend of the Saudi family....like Cheney.

Why do you let Osama roam arround the planet? Is he perfect cover for your oil boom and your phoney war?

I love Olbermann! It is about time there was someone giving news from the left point of view! He says what I am usually thinking.

[foxnews4ever]

Any of you who like OLbermann i know is a left wing loon,but to say his show is intresting or worth while watching are nuts.Glenn beck owned him on the fort dix argument they had.

Answer this question...other than being a OBAMA lover,Who attacks any one that questions the almighty OBAMA,Why does he have no other point of view on his show?

Why doesn't he have some BUSH admin past or present officila on to debate the stuff he says.I believe all he says about bush(worst president ever)...Not cause he makes decisions,but is not articulate enouh in letting americans know why they should be supported.

But honestly,why is it always robinson,alter,wolffe,maddow,some hack comedian ..the village voice guy or some NBC pundit.NO opposing views,No dissent in opinion.He hates coulter so much...have her on and debate her.He can't stand all these republicans bring one on and debate his view....Why is he scared to debate any one with an opposing P>O>V?

Glenn beck would love to debate him...republicans would love to come on his show and debate this hack,yet he only has those i mentioned on his show.O'reilly has had every liberal perspective imaginable...except OBAMA which will change shortly.

that's why this guy who has to mention O'reilly at least twice a night.....could never debate O'reilly who never mentions his name.

tell him to have malkin,coulter,gingrich,beck or whoever on his show..what is he scared of?

[wolf58]

Beck? yea he still waiting for end of days that he forecast late last year (and was wrong again). by the way wasn't he crying over his ass surgery or was it his asshat....Beck envy? get a life

Olbermann is pompus and self absorbed. The little tid bits of information he does deliver are more than obscured by his own self importance.

Let's not forget who this guy is. He's a two bit sports caster who gets fed liberal and leftist talking points to deliver on TV. He dumps on a can of final net hair spray and then reaches for the dumbest trendy pair of glasses he can find and then delivers a slanted presentation that would make Rush blush. Any of you our there who think Mr. Olbermann developes his presentations on his own are fooling yourself. He is a talking parrot, and quite a good one at that.

In reality, he is a 2nd rate hack who appeals to a very small group of far left liberals. He will never amount to much more than that. If "Count Down" ever folds, there is a place for him on AAR. Of course, that assumes that AAR does not fold first.

Hillary '08

[2bad]

So you're pissed at Keith, not the facts! Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that he has exposed your candidate as a fear-mongering, politics as usual, give me the nomination or I'll ruin it for everyone narcissist would it?

[ceu]

You just engaged in the ultraclassic fallacy of logic - the ad hominen attack. Don't argue about what was said, attack the personality/character traits of the speaker. After all, if you don't like someone then what s/he says can't be true, right?

[geoffludt]

Never mind that those numbers that Keith Overbite said will confirm the "Bush Recession" have now come in and guess what? GDP GROWTH! There is no "Bush Recession" yet. Bwah! Hah! Hah! hah!

[knerd]

For shame! Olbermann is fact-checking and confronting our leaders? This isn't what journalism is supposed to be doing.

What's up with American Idol, anyway?

[ImmanuelKant]

I too enjoy the Oberman show but maybe he should read Huffington's post today on the Huffington Post.

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

Olbermann can occasionally go a little overboard with the tone of his special comments being slightly sanctimonious. However, overall he does a great job of exposing the Bush administration's obvious corruption and lies to the American people. He is the lone voice in cable news willing to go out on a limb and criticize the administration.

[geoffludt]

Oh please ... his show, "Countdown to no ratings" has less people watching then read my highschool newspaper ... Don't you ever watch Chris Matthews ??? Here's a guy who admitted on air that he got "chills running up his leg" when he watched Bocboc Obama's pandering race speech ... Or what about Lou Dobbs??? Keith Overbite is hardly alone.

Keith Olbermann is, by far, the best voice for the truth in all of the media. Olbermann is the only national news person who tells it like it is, who will, in other words, call an asshole an asshole,
on the air, and who doesn't pander to the right-wing, or to other lying zealots like Hillary and Bill Clinton. If you watch 'Countdown,' daily, as I do, you'll find that all of the people who offer expertise
on the program, are just that, experts in their fields, and not the clue-less bags of wind that are featured on other network "news" programs that supposed tell the truth. For the most part, all of
the morons out there who think Keith Olbermann is all wet should should each go take flying
shit.

[geoffludt]

You should really re-examine your news sources. The Huff Post and Countdown to no ratings are hardly "unbiased".

[Syco]

IF they had poor ratings then why are they still on the air?

[DallasMike]

you 1st

[robbor]

you can GOTCHA all you want, this administration has so much material out there that could be GOTCHA'd that if every GOTCHA was investigated it would take from now until the sun blows up, about 4 billion years, before all the GOTCHAs were put to rest.

this administration has just about burned me out completely. let the clock run out, let the leaders of the administration settle down in their retirement homes and then fire up the committees to investigate and repair the damage done

[geoffludt]

That's funny, that's exactly how I felt when President Clinton FINALLY left office.

[Dantana]

On the fifth anniversary of Mission Accomplished, I wonder where they're at on smoking out BinLaden?

[ebanks84]

To keep you in fear until Hillary takes over and fear you some more, Bin Laden is DEAD and you will not be told that because it would end all reasons for staying in this war.

Benazir Bhutto, in an interview on CNN and with Davis Frost in England, indicated quite by happenstance that Osama Bin Laden had been killed by Sheik Omar and was dead. CNN hurriedly erased that portion of the interview with her, but David Frost did not and I really don't even think he heard what she said because it was such a passing comment as she was talking about something else.

If you go to youtube and search on Benazir Bhutto and David Frost, you will find the tape. I hope no one has erased that one, too, of her statement.

[biglover]

I heard her say it too and she may be right but there have been recent tapes where his voice has been verified and the fact that he knew about current events. Just because she was Benzir Bhutto didn't mean she knew whether or not he was dead. I think the recent tape and his knowledge of current events means he is still alive.

[stevietheman]

Well, after five years, the Criminal Bush Regime can faithfully proclaim "Genocide Accomplished".

[ebanks84]

Here's the link: Benazir Bhutto said Osama bin Laden was dead

[armyman72]

Olbermenn = Truth
Bush = Bullshit

[geoffludt]

Yeah ... except when Olbermenn is just plain wrong. NO RECESSION, GDP was up!.

[Alyscha]

kieth is sexy when he's mad...

[booker52]

Keith just make Bush look like an a putz.

[gopindrag]

Bush is a putz. Bush makes Bush look bush. He is the smallest thing, ever, in the Oval Office.

[geoffludt]

You must not have lived through the disaster that was Carter ... worst President ever, bar none.

[juangault]

You have to admit, one wonders how in the hell did we get this man as president. And then I think of the "coalition" of the religious, the "Reagan democrats", the business curlytails, the Diebolds, and the tiebreakers, the people like me who were appalled by the smell of the Clinton's.

[stevietheman]

The funny thing is that, as dull and wonky as Gore seemed, he would not have run a Presidency anywhere near as klutzy, divisive or dangerous as Bush's, or as mired in strange scandals as was the Clinton's. Gore was someone who would have merely concentrated on being a competent President. It would not have been exciting, but I think the nation would have ended up in much better shape.
