Soledad O’Brien Gets Into a Big Fight with Romney Supporter John Sununu
Soledad O’Brien might be able to lower her blood pressure a bit by avoiding certain guests on her show. The latest culprit of the television fights of a lifetime is Mitt Romney-supporter John Sununu. On the show, “Starting Point,” O’Brien and Sununu got into it over Paul Ryan and Medicare. O’Brien is no easy opponent, so you know it had to be good.
Sununu is the former governor of New Hampshire. O’Brien felt that Romney’s budget plan wasn’t much different from Ryan’s plan, but apparently, Sununu failed to see the logic.
“That Isn’t the Ryan plan the Romney plan?” she asked. “No, it isn’t,” Sununu said.
O’Brien then pointed out that Romney had stated that he felt it would “marvelous” if the Senate passed Ryan’s plan.
“That sounds like a lot of support. Am I wrong?” she asked.
Sununu went onto say that the plans are not the same. This led to O’Brien noting that the numbers of the Republican plan have been undermined by experts who questioned its feasibility.
“No, they haven’t,” Sununu said. “Yes they have!” O’Brien said.
O’Brien then noted that President Obama’s plan addresses the growth of Medicare, but doesn’t cut the program itself, as the Republican plan did.
“Soledad, stop this!” Sununu said. “All you’re doing is mimicking the stuff that comes out of the White House and gets repeated on the Democratic blog boards out there. If you’re going to mouth what comes out of the White House — “
“I’m telling you what FactCheck.com tells you,” O’Brien replied. “I’m telling what the CBO and CNN’s independent analysis does.”
“Put a Obama bumper sticker on your forehead when you do this,” Sununu said.
O’Brien then did a pretty good job of shutting Sununu down.
“There’s independent analysis, fact check.com, the CBO and CNN has already done its own independent analysis, and name calling to me and somehow acting as if by repeating a number of $716 billion that you can make that stick when that figure is being stolen from Medicare, that’s not true. You can’t just repeat it and make it true, sir.”
Match and point. Good job Soledad.

Sununu has been the Republians bit bull on the media circuit. He can be quite over powering to a novice, however, Ms. Obrien does her homework and is a formidable opponent in debate. Sununu’s “match point” comment indicates defeat.
Am I the only one that thinks Sununu and Mitch McConnell were separated at birth?
At any rate, the longer the republikans perpetuate their lying about budgets, the Medicare “cuts”, the welfare work requirement removal that was never removed, coupled with their refusals to release tax returns and their records of hatred toward the poor, women, blacks, immigrants and seniors, and with NO record of accomplishment of their own, the lower MittWitt and Eddie Munster continue to drop in the polls.
The teapublican party has taken the first rule of holes, being that when you’re in one, stop digging, and turned it on its head by asking for even bigger shovels.
No you are not. They have the same kind of ugly within and without!
Let the Games Begin.
Soledad is like Obama Half Black so She’s gonna get checked like all Blackpeople in America,I see Whitefolks are trying to Balance their budgets on BlackBacks! Let them tell it all Blacks in America owe Taxes! All I see is our people owe Tax money Sick of these Crackers that’s why i’m Gone!
I saw the “FIGHT” between SOLEDAD and SUNUNUN and she did do her research on the subject…BUT I THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOUGHER ON HIM! HE WAS TRYING TO SHUT HER DOWN ON HER “OWN” SHOW. SHE SHOULD HAVE CUT OFF HIS MIC TAMRON HALL WOULD HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ishmar Muhammad, Negro, you are also part black. There are no 100% black people left in America, so to try to separate us by declaring who, is blacker than who, is foolish, and stupid. It is Negroes like you, that call yourself the true blacks, but you only date, and marry light, d**n near white women, not that I object, because they are still black women, but I point this out to show your ridiculous hypocrisy. What does Soledad’s, or Obama’s parentage, has to do with their spokesperson-ship, and leadership? Are you envious, that they don’t act like ghetto thugs, and race hustling pimps, such as yourself? Are they responsible, for who their parents are? It’s Negroes like you, that sometimes makes me regret, that I belong to the same race, that produced someone like you, although I thoroughly denounce any affiliation.
I Love smart black women
Erica, I second that emotion. I find smart black women, to be extraordinarily exciting, sexy, and mentally challenging, which leads to an wonderful relationship. I want a w***e in the bed, but an intelligent woman outside the sheets.
