I watched Meet The Press this past Sunday and it was very enjoyable. Senior Advisor David Axelrod was the exclusive guest. From the beginning Axelrod and Gregory went at it word for word. Axelrod defended the White House position nicely. I loved the way he kept doing that little "trick" with his thumb and hands.
Axelrod brung his "A" game and it was clear to see why Gregory is more "entertainer" than reporter. Axelrod talked rings around him. It was good to see Axelrod perform. I guess Axelrod was well rested.
Best Parts of Interview
6:43- Gregory cuts Axelrod off and they both pause. Axelrod was prepared well enough to pick up the question even though it was asked while he was talking. Gregory must have known he heard it because he didn't help him out.
9:11- Axelrod does what looks like a half yawn. Not because he's bored. More like time to wake up and take over the interview.
9:15- Gregory leads off with"but if this is an election about choices". Now it's Axelrod's turn to interrupt. But he doesn't just interrupt. He uses a little "psychology" to take over the interview. Here's how he did it.
9:16- After interrupting, Axelrod "imperceptibly" furrows his brow at 9:16. This freezes Gregory. Here's the brilliant part. He totally backs off immediately and then like a lion waiting to pounce on his prey. Gets out "Lets talk about the choices" right before Gregory gets it out. So now, in Gregory's mind and that of the viewers, Axelrod is in complete command of the interview.
9:27- Now that he is in command of conversation Axelrod goes from using a soft thumb gesture to pointing. almost as if he's scolding a child.
Comments
You and Odalis More have some kind of hustle going on. I'm not sure what it is. If you need some guidance or something it's best to just email me. I really don't have time right now to figure out your angle.
If your looking for a little "juice". Then I don't mind helping out. Wouldn't it just be easier to ask me to link to some of your articles?
Just email me and let me know what your deal is. Right now it just looks like you two are running some kind of con game. I know you guys are better than that. Tell Odalis More to email me and let me know what she wants.
There is no con sir. There is no angle. All I ask is that you remember those who came before you and I; those who have marched and suffered so that we no longer have to sit on the back of the bus. If you don't get where I'm coming from...well, my apologies. Keep doing what you do. Peace. GB
A lot of people in New Orleans are laughing at you right now for that last comment. You better ask somebody Sir. I think your being prejudice against me.
You have to look at the big picture. If Democrats lose too many seats in Congress in November then as you put it "their will not even be a bus to sit in the back of". Despite what you or anybody else thinks. Arab, Jew or whatever. Axelrod is working for November. I might start charging you two guys since you always come at me sideways.
