Britt Hume and Juan Williams get it on: It’s not about trying, it’s about results

With lefties it’s always about trying. Whether it’s Little League or the Big Leagues, trying is the thing. Results? That’s for mean spirited conservatives and conservatarians. Juan Williams and Mara Liasson try to make the case that if Obama just explained more or better or something, he would have the support of the American people. That’s just a little too much for Britt Hume. Game on.

To set this up, the three are commenting on the CNBC Tow Hall Meeting where a woman asks The One if her new reality is franks and beans. Where, she asks, is the hope and change. Liasson responds by sayinbg Obama needs to explain more … and Juan agrees. Hume responds in stunned disbelief. Smack down.

Do you really think that the woman at the CNBC Town Hall would be satisfied with trying?

    If I had a dollar for every sports trophy given to every member of every K-9 childrens team in America … witness the progressive egalitarian taint on America in full swing … reward showing up and disregard those few that excel, as they make the rest envious and sad … and wait for it … potential victims of the horrors of meritocracy.

    The woman that they are talking about is a veteran, veterans succeed, they do not try. Of course she would not be satisfied with trying. Personally, I just hope she doesn't lose her job for speaking out. Stranger things have happened.

    Its about "TRYING"? I've had plenty of employees. who tried to do the job, but I've only kept those capable of "DOING the JOB". "90% of blacks support the president" I thought this wasn't about color? It's amazing, that when the sh*t hits the fan…You can always count on Juan Williams aka Racist Fool, to pull out the race card. So much for the "Post Racial president" (yes, lower case "p" intentionally).

    If it isn't crystal clear that the Obumbler is an incompetent, incapable, racially dividing, one term president. Then come November 2nd, these incredible stupid people are going to need some serious psychiatric care starting November 3rd. I can't wait..HUGE SMILE!!!!!

    All this is red herring stuff.  It is as if nothing has happened.  

    There have been results.  And in every case the American people have lost freedoms and been burdened with more debt. 

    Original stimulus $$:  Republicans 1,  American public 0

    Health care:  Democrats 1,  American people 0 

    Patriot Act:  Both parties 1 each,  American people 0

    If Juan looks at current facts, I believe he will see that the 90% has dropped off more than a bit.

    Britt used to slap Juan around regularly before he reduced his work load. Correcting a big dummy must have been tiring.
