DO REPUBLICANS KNOW HOW TO DO ANYTHING BUT CRITICIZE FALSELY?

If it weren't for constant interruptions by people who think I should be free on Sunday morning since they know I don't go to church, I would get to see and hear all of Meet the Press and This Week.  Today, I caught enough of This Week to wonder what the producers could have had in mind when they put Fox News star, Greta Van Susteren on a panel.  If that weren't enough to spoil a potentially good panel (even with George Will who is, at least, tolerable with some rationality) the panel included Bay Buchanan. 

Van Susteren did a Mitt Romney imitation (only broader since she knows more about the world situation than he.)  She rattled off, non-stop, all the things she thinks Obama should have done but has not, as though the Republicans were not in the least obstructive.  The arrogance with which she speaks is enough to have no doubts that she is a Fox News staffer.  She can give him no credit for getting bin Laden but criticizes his 'attitude'. She claims his talk is all "I..., I..., I...."When everyone is saying he has accomplished nothing, while Romney is taking credit for his brilliant background in business and ability to do everything Obama has failed to do but doesn't say how, I found her most annoying. 

Producers, there are some people, even some Republicans, who can speak sanely, rationally, and even if we disagree with them, we are able to hear them with some respect.  Why not try to have some of them on instead of people Fox News when we are on ABC because we do not like or trust the people on Fox News?  Why load your panels with an angry, aging woman who comes through as projecting, :I hate Obama no matter what he achieves.' ?  There is more rational thinking on Bill Maher's panels even though he usually manages to have one noxious person of three on each show.

Buchanan had this contribution  ") BUCHANAN:  You know, the enthusiasm factor is going to be there, I can tell you now.  Take a look at what we just heard this morning on your program.  You know, President Obama, his record — we’ve lost — Americans have lost more jobs, lost more homes, and more people have fallen into poverty than any time since the Great Depression, and we have David Axelrod, his man, come on television this morning, and what did he say?  We have to figure out how to work the economy so that it helps the middle class.  Three-and-a-half years, they haven’t figured it out.  He’s admitting they don’t know how to do it, and he wants us to give him more time, what, to figure it out?.. Americans are suffering across the country.  There’s no more time for this man."  She makes no mention of what was there when he took over nor the many ideas that have been presented and refused by the majority of Republicans in the Legislature.
