Newsweek's Jonathan Alter, author of the 'The Promise: President Obama, Year One [2],' on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday night, placing himself with Obama against conservatives:
When Obama said "we are the ones we've been waiting for," we didn't show up. It was the right-wingers at the town meetings.Jake Tapper to Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, on ABC's This Week:
Before this crisis occurred, you were perhaps best-known nationally as a critic of big government, as a critic of big spending. And here you are, desperately asking for big government, big spending.During the roundtable on that Sunday show, Salon's Joan Walsh offered up a weak defense of Obama on the Sestak bribe: "People who supported him didn't expect him to be Jesus in the White House." Tapper interjected: "Some might have."
Such as Jonathan Alter?
