Keith Olbermann broke out in a nervous sweat lthis week when Newsweek’s Howard Fineman sounded as if he had become one of those dreaded birthers.
Fineman explained how ObamaCare got passed:
Fineman: Persistence by President Obama, who comes from a country of long-distance runners and was one; persistence in canniness by Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel…
Olbermann: You just said that the President comes from a nation of long-distance runners. You mean he`s descended from them.
Fineman: Descended from them, excuse me.
Olbermann: Otherwise, the headline is, “Fineman, birther.”
Fineman: Birther, yeah, no, descended from.
Fineman was this close to never being invited back on the Olbermann show. This close.

seriously, if that's not the most racist thing I've read all week, Coulter is spinning in her grave. Man, can you even IMAGINE a conservative saying something like that?!?! Fineman might as well had said, "ya know, all those N-word-ers can run down there and he's one of 'em! ... They also love watermelon and chicken." geeeeee wiz.... what you can get away with if you're a Liberal, or a former President named Clinton.
shouldnt be surprised fineman agreed with olber(bearing)mann AKA liberal limbaugh. if you dont agree with him you lose your easy money. i have never seen olber(bearing)mann have to defend his opinion with any guest.
kenya's probably glad that Obama isnt their president
Kenya doesn't want Obama. Nobody wants Obama.
It's Howard Fineman.
You are, of course, correct. Thanks. It's been changed.
