Those lines were said, but they were not said in that order or in the context that the OP put them in.

Here's a link to Charlie Rose.

I would suggest that people watch it for themselves. It's the height of desperation when you have to cull different snippets of conversations and then edit it to make it seem like they actually said that in that way.

Brokaw even went on to say that Obama was reaching out to even the right-wing think-tanks in Washington on foreign policy.

Why is it that when an OP seems "unbelievable", it's usually the case that it's a fabrication?
Put this down with "Obama Supporter cuts "B" in McCain Campaign Worker's face".
