From Morning Joe, Nov. 24, 2008.
You guys [Team Obama] own the economy at 12 o'clock eastern time today, correct? When Senator Obama announces his Treasury Secretary, announces the Larry Summers position. It is now Barack Obama's responsibility on the economy, is that not correct?
h/t Bob Cesca, who has more here.
OK, then, we might as well take over the entire administation, starting with the White House; we can prevent Bush's "midnight regulations" crap that screws the environment.
I'll gladly "own the administration" as well as the economy.
I wish we could dump his dumb ass now. Or atleast take away all his pens.
Break his fingers and more of his anatomy.
"And now, Chucky T has some insight"
Obviously, Chucky (who's not much bigger than his horror puppet buddy), is looking to churn some butter with this spin.
Put a sombrero on this fuck and he'll take us back to the early 70's. Chucky = Frito Bandito.
Am I missing something? Was there an inauguration?
Always looking for someone else to blame.
Pass the buck...the modus operandi of G. W. Bush for his entire life.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
everyone...in the spirit of giving...start sending bottles of Jack Daniels to the White House.
Hopefully the Chimp will fall into alcoholic slumber for the last 56 days.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
I think that Bush's drink of choice is Jim Beam, close enough for govt work.
jim beam is bourbon, jack daniels is some sort of tennessee whiskey
Makers Mark is bourbon...
(My fave is Evan Williams Black Label, 86 proof)
Jack Daniels is industrial waste.
Don't forget the pretzels.
Its not correct.
In my opinion, as of late chuck has become a little too full of himself.
There is not one damned thing Obama can do at this moment to repair the economy
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Assemble a good team and project competence and confidence. That MIGHT help a little. but thats all he can do.

Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

Oops, how did that happen? My comment posted twice.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Think of it as an extra big exclamation point.
What the fu(k did he just say?? That was the stupidest question I’ve ever heard in my life coming from an alleged professional newscaster. What does Henry Paulson have to say about this?? Someone needs to revisit Chuck of the Toddler Mentality’s contract.

I agree. Chuck seems to have taken on the belief that he is an expert on just about everything. Some of Joe Scarborough's ego must have rubbed off on him.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Maybe they will find a secrtery dead in his office soon just like Joe.
That Chuck Todd is up for Tim Russert's old job.
"The US has an army of 90,000 soldiers in Afghanistan and is spending $100bn a year, but has still been unable to defeat 20,000-25,000 Taliban who receive no pay at all." - Patrick Cockburn
Of such transparent partisanship.
Obama has conducted himself with real class and yet these douchebags can't wait to be able to pronounce him and everything he touches a failure.
"To me, truth is not some vague, foggy notion. Truth is real. And,
at the same time, unreal. Fiction and fact and everything in between,
plus some things I can't remember, all rolled into one big "thing."
This is truth, to me. "

are you into the cooking sherry again!!
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Nope Why?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
you're double posting!! LOL!
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Geez, anxious much, Chuck? I agree that in a perfect world someone would put W out of our misery right away, but unfortunately he's got 55 days to put the screws to us in any way he sees unfit to. And boy, he's trying hard.
George probably uses Jack Daniels as a mixer for his Jim Beam.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Lie, Lie, Lie, Lie, Lie...Deflect.
Got it. I wasn't clear previously on what "personal responsibility" meant.
NO! Bush and the Repugs OWN this economy...even after January 20th and it becomes a disaster for Team Obama to clean up, it is still the Repugs who got us here.
Just because you bring out a mop doesn't mean the mop made the mess!
I love hearing these idiots trying to say it's not their fault that everything imploded. - for 6 years they had total power and even threated to eleminate the filibuster if the Dems tried to use it to stop the Repugs crimes against America.
Folks in Bangkok took over an airport and folks in Iceland took over parliament demanding accountability.
Wonder what will happen here?
I'm sorry to say I believe that the apathy of the general public will take over and we will not take over anything. Far too many people believe that simply electing Obama was enough to fix the major problems we face (by we I mean the middle class).
this isn't going to get better unless people take responsiblity, and maybe once Obama is actually the President he will put forth a program to enlist people into public services and other areas that will not only give people jobs but also help other people who need help. I'm hoping with real leadership people will stand up and take action (myself included) so far I talk a good game, I do volunteer from time to time but I don't do nearly enough, most of us don't. But I'm hoping that will change, if we can do that, then we don't need to take over an Airport or the House of Representatives to enact change.
Male Republican leaders will bang some kok in the airport.
... the media is quick to foist things off on the Obama administration so we can forget the past eight years of partisan media cheerleading for the Frat Boy in Chief.
W's career ends like all his other gigs - abject failure and a bailout by someone else. We're not holding the corporate barons at the banks responsible, and we won't be seeing any accountability from Bush, either.
maybe the public will rise up...and take over Walmart!
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Well Walmart will do well in this economy.
Hey Chuck, news flash: When the janitor is tasked to clean up the steaming pile of shit left behind by the elephant, you don't blame the janitor for the mess do you?
The ELEPHANT did it!
... a story out of the Vietnam War, where several special forces types told their commander that the Viet Cong were using elephants to ferry gear through the jungle.
The commander said, "There aren't any elephants. Get out there and find the trucks they have to be using!"
Said soldiers left a bag of elephant dung on the commander's desk, and, well, gee ... I guess they must be using elephants.
Morning Joke.
Does this mean that Bush will take 100% responsibility for 9/11. How can you blaim everything bad that happened over the last 8 years on Clinton and anything bad that happens from now on on Obama? These people make me sick.
All the executives are tripping over each other as they run out of the board room and as the pass some guy pushing a mop they yell, "You're in charge!"
so just before Obama owns the economy, Bush and team give the banks another $800 billion.

awesome.
thats $1.5 trillion given away in the last 6 weeks.
lol, lets keep blaming them high-falutin' union types...
In the emerging media narrative, Obama gets all of the responsibility for (but no actual power to affect) the post-election/pre-inauguration economy. The Democrats need to be damn careful because there is a massive attempt to turn this into "Obama's recession." Bush has to be laughing his ass off right now.
If Obama now officially owns the car wreck known as US economy now ?
Tell King Petulant Monkey Ass to get the hell out of the way NOW then.
Time for the adults to take over.
So is GW Bush.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Did the Constitution get changed and I wasn't aware of it? Maybe Mr. Todd needs to take remedial civics courses and brush up on how our system of government works.
Until President-Elect Obama is sworn in, he has no constitutional authority or duties, period.

The free pass of Bush continues...
... Blame the new guy is the game de jour.
WHY IS GEORGE W. BUSH NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE LEVEL OF INACTION TO THE DISASTER THAT WAS ALLOWED TO OCCUR ON HIS WATCH?

Starve the WAR Beast...
... Save the World.
Hey Chuck,
When you shill for the Neocons, be sure to tell us that you are paid for by the RNC first.
And BTW we do NOT approve your message.
"We will find fulfillment not in the goods that we have, but in the good we can do for each other."

What an INSANELY STUPID thing to say. How is this pin-head allowed to do ANYTHING other than reading a teleprompter.
What a moron.
To quote Colin Powell..."You broke it...you own it."
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Correction: at 12 oclock eastern time you guys inherit the Bush economy.
with that little gem.
hey Chuck stocks reacted to Osama Bin Laden on 9/11 did that make HIM president?!?!?
The fucking idiocy of some people's "logic".
And FYI Todd you little shit: the markets bounced up a bit because someone is finally doing something that makes investors see a light at the end of the tunnel....I don't see them interviewing bush on why HIS economy sucks so badly.
Was he sworn in, asswipe? No? Then not really, cocksucker.
me-oww!
You go girl!!
The past 8 years was totally Barack Obama's fault. Didn't you all get the memo. Georgie tried his best to stop him but what could he do? He's only the president!
*Hurls*
NOBODY 2012
We get so frustrated with the lies that we call them stupid, and idiots, and asshats.
And then one of them will step up like this and prove that we had been overestimating them.
The spirit of Pravda lives on through media dupes and incompetents like Chuck Todd and others. Just substitute corporate sponsored propaganda for state sponsored.
He is just a money grabber with no integrity or ethics.

Todd is told what to say, (ratings you know). It's up to HIM to say this is BS.
Obama has zero Constitutiional authority until January 20th, and nobody on the planet knows that better than he.
Alright already, the guy's a jerk. He's got plenty of company in the media. Myself, I'd indict the whole Fox network.
But does every other post have to be profane to get the point across? Seems like there ought to be better writing than that.
That is, if your plan was to communicate instead of offend.
I mean it. every syllable.
Some stuff you can't make up!
