I cannot seriously believe that this story has been picked up and posted in the mainstream media world. We've taken one of the most serious elections in many people's lifetime and turned it into a television serious where the "catch-phrase" becomes the episode title. Did you see the "let me eat my Waffle" episode? What about last week's "Bitter" episode, which followed "Crazy Preacher sweeps-week"

2009 just cannot get here fast enough.

Good point Geoff. Maybe Chuck can fill Joe Scarborough in on that. He was spewing his typical venom at Obama this morning about the 'collapse' of Obama in the poll. Did he cite the Newsweek poll showing him up almost 20 - no. I don't have an issue with him bringing up the Gallup info, but he does it with such venom and bias that I find it hard to listen to him anymore. If it wasn't for Mika & Chuck, I would have stopped watching MSNBC in the mornings a long time ago.

As a Obama supporter I am surprised that he would condemn such a meeting. Yes Hamas uses terror as it's mean of change, which no one should condone. However, Hamas, as a political organization, has been elected into the Palestinian Government in an open and free election. We pushed for it and now we that we don't like the outcome, Politicians are backing away from their own stances to work with the Palestinian Government. Back turning and name calling has only lead to more violence. I am starting to wonder if anyone, including our own elected or soon to be elected officials, wants Peace in the Middle East.

Chuck Todd is on Russert with David Gregory talking about how Obama supporters may tear the party apart.
WE all know that Obama closed a double digit Clinton lead.
WE all know that Obama can outspend Clinton and McCain because he has 1.5 million individual donors.
WE all know that this is about a movement not about Obama.
WE all know that the nominee of the party will be the candidate that has won more delegates and the popular vote.
WE all expect that the Super Delegates are keenly aware of the previous point.

How can Obama disagree with what Carter is doing with Hamas? Obama is on record as being ready to meet with pretty much any so called leader or group in the world, Hamas included. Remember Carter's track record in foreign affairs, he's an 'F' student. He got took a few dozen times by Iran in the '70's, North Korea took him and Madeline NotSoBright to the cleaners in the '90s, now it's Hamas. At least Carter is consistent, he's wrong every time.

Also Carter's action's is just as important to note... that after the Million Man March, crime has gone down significantly. Minister Louis Farrakhan was seated at the White House with Ronald Reagan and recognized for using his influence in the Muslim world to secure the release of Lt. Robert O. Goodman on January 4, 1984. He was invited to Philadelphia by then Mayor Rendell to speak and help heal the racial divide; holding hands, singing and lavishing praise on April 15, 1997.

On May 5, 2005, former President BILL CLINTON praised Minister Farrakhan and the Millions More Movement describing it as a positive idea.

Carter is an experienced negotiator who knows that all the parties must be represented at the table (even if they may be reprehensible)if one hopes to forge an enduring agreement. The Bush administration black and white good guy bad guy has done nothing except to inflame the whole region from Israel to Pakistan and creating an us against them situation, Christians/Jews against Muslims.

It's really confusing that somebody who's denigrated others re: old style politics that you would now stoop to that. But, what would I know, Professor Obama, you've called me a typical white person, Bible thumping, gun-toting, bigot from small town mid-America...Face it, you don't "us" from jack!

To j fl - Let the man eat. If you don't like Obama, Fine but relax. It's obvious you won't vote for him in the first place so there's no point in insulting him. Instead, why don't you give a reason to vote hor Hillary as opposed to why you won't vote for Obama.

He is certainly not nasty .. in fact, he has been extremely polite through all the nonsense. He cannot comment "off the cuff" on a situation he does not know thoroughly ... especially a situation certainly charged with potential problems. I would have lost my patience long ago. The criticism is baseless when you weren't there ... you have no idea of the lead-up to the question, or the circumstances, and you are obviously against him to start with so this is just ammunition for you. Let's hope our leaders DO resist feeling obligated to answer "on the spot", especially regarding such very serious issues.
You have no intent to be fair. In which case, it is useless to argue with you.

This actually passes as news. The Media has almost 24/7 access to the canidates and they can't let him finish a Waffle without asking a question. If this was an average Joe I would be more concerned, but it was not.

Obviously ticked-off Aswini Anburajan for some reason.
That wink should have told the reporters something. Like yes, but I really do not have much say.

Hell, I heard about it on NPR this morning at 4:30 am - while the next earthquake hit Illinois/Indiana. Did you hear about that?

Why is no one commenting on the fact that the reporter wouldn't even wait for Senator Obama to finish eating. How rude to interrupt.

I so want this to be over soon, please PA vote for Obama so that the fighting will stop and the Democratic Party can start preparing for the General Election.

Thank you.

Ha ha ha, believe me, showing love to the press won't get you any love here in PA. Relax, fellow O-bots, the morons will be silenced tomorrow. Say a prayer tonight!

Interrupt ME while I am eating MY waffle and I might just whip yer ass! Reporters are worse than attorneys!

Obama was WAY too gracious to the stubborn fool of a reporter. No better than the SLIME paparazzi scum bags.

I was always taught that it was bad manners to interrupt someone while they were eating.

let's have proper analysis: Carter has not endorsed anyone. What is he endorses clinton, what will you say? As it is Carter can endorse either Obama or Clinton.

We live in interesting times. What was never news before some how makes the news and/or blog. Funny how Hillary brought up Farrakan in the debate and was not asked about Mark Penn and Colombia---Her sniper fire incident was her single "character" question.

I suppose he is trying to compose his thoughts before answering (Carter had said his family supports Obama although he had not endorsed him officially - yet) the question. How do you deal with not losing the ex President's endorsement while trying not to dis please people - tricky. It required buying sometime - therefore - let me eat my waffle moment.

I hate to say this but it is ironic that Carter might endorse him. Obama will be Carter, Jr. should he get elected. All signs point to that.
