Obama's Press Conference

Wrong again. I am under no obligation to chase my tail because you demand it. I gave my opinion, which if you had watched the conference, you'd have known what I was talking about. You may not have agreed, :rolleyes: but you would have understood.

It had a hint of your spin in it too.

Such a twit you are. What part of 'your thoughts?' and 'mine:' did you have a problem comprehending? :eek:


Annie, you could have stopped with "Such a twit you are." That would have said it all. :lol:

Annie, you could have stopped with "Such a twit you are." That would have said it all. :lol:
and saved some time and effort
;)

Hey, my thoughts and efforts resulted in my party controlling all of government. I must have been right and you guys are clearly wrong. But that won't get you to shut up.

You are the one who should save your breath. At least until the mid term.

Bill Clinton said it best. Elections are when people fall in love. But once it is over, FALL IN LINE.

Remember you didn't think it was helpful for people to question Bush on the economy or Iraq? Yea, you're doing what you told us not to do. And Bush's policies caused this great recession we are in. No doubt.

what the fuck are you talking about
i was one of the MANY that questioned bush about the economy and the GOP'ers in congress on how they fucked things up
and THAT was why the GOP lost
you and your ilk had nothing to do with it


you are a dumbass
 
No matter which "side" you are on, this is very factual and "spot on"......sadly.....



Last Monday was a profound evening, hearing Dr. Charles Krauthammer
speak to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant
intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright & careful in his
analysis, & never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a
fearmonger nor an extremist in his comments & views. He is a fiscal
conservative, & has a Pulitzer prize for writing. He is a frequent
contributor to Fox News & writes weekly for the Washington Post. The
entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have shared this w/
many of you & several have asked me to summarize his comments, as we are
living in uncharted waters economically & internationally. Even 2 Dems
at my table agreed w/ everything he said! If you feel like forwarding
this to those who are open minded feel
free.

Here is his resume from Wikipedia:
Charles Krauthammer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A summary of his comments:
1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to
be underestimated. He is a 'cool customer' who doesn't show his
emotions. It's very hard to know what's 'behind the mask'. Taking down
the Clinton dynasty from a political neophyte was an amazing
accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them.
Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan & Clinton. He has a
way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing w/ your position,
while doing the opposite. Pay no attn. to what he SAYS; rather, watch
what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington
to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, incl.
dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on his ambitions, as
the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, & wants to 'level
the playing field' w/ income redistribution & punishment of the
achievers of society He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or
Canada.

4. His 3 main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, & NAT'L
HEALTHCARE by the Fed. govt. He doesn't care about the auto or financial
services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap & trade
will add costs to everything & stifle growth. Paying for FREE college
education is his goal. Most scary is healthcare program, because if you
make it FREE & add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer
system, the costs will go thru the roof. The only way to control costs
is w/ massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada. God forbid.

5. He's surrounded himself w/ mostly far-left academic types. No 1
around him has ever run even a candy store. But they're going to try &
run the auto, financial, banking & other industries. This obviously
can't work in the long run. Obama's not a socialist; rather a far-left
secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a
moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does,
not what he says.

6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the USA, more as a
ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to
orchestrate & coordinate various countries & their agendas. He sees
moral equivilency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany & England
was a prime example of how he sees America, as an imperialist nation
that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at
times made errors. This is the 1st President ever who has chastised our
allies & appeased our enemies!

7. He's now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (& pain) will
not 'come due' until after he's reelected in 2012. He'd like to blame
all problems on Bush from the past, & hopefully his successor in the
future. He has a huge ego, & Mr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcicist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge
strong. We're 'pining' for another Reagan, but there'll never be another
like him. He believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except
for his terrible speech in Feb.) are the future of the party. Newt
Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere &
intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts & info
if she's to be a serious candidate in the future. We need to return to
the party of lower taxes, smaller govt., personal responsibility, strong
nat'l defense, & states' rights.

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible & outrageous. We're
spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyper
inflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves
into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid & Pelosi a pass because
they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due & people
will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus pkg.
These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions & the
Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-Sept. when Lehman brothers failed. Fear
& panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, & the war was grinding
on indefinitely w/o a clear outcome. The people are in pain, & the
mantra of 'change' caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have
won this election; it was surprising is was as close as it was.

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be
swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If
it's between 8-10%, it'll be a dogfight. It'll all be about the economy.

I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in
Washington & Congress. There's a left-wing revolution going on,
according to Krauthammer, & he encourages us to keep the faith & join
the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on most
issues & can reclaim our country, before it's far too late.


Are you SERIOUS? This is textbook right wing FEAR MONGERING!

What Krauthammer is saying is that the President of the United States is an "OTHER"...Barack Obama has evil motives that are designed to undermine America...he is calling our President a traitor...

Krauthammer's PROOF...Krauthammer KNOWS another persons MOTIVES...

I don't see anywhere in Krauthammer's credentials that he has perfected the Vulcan mind meld...

Thank you for the post. (minus your own words on the subject of course.)

Last eight lines not mine,also agree on your opinion of Krauthammer
 
"The heart of the liberal philosophy
is a belief in the dignity of the individual,
in his freedom to make the most of his capacities
and opportunities according to his own lights...
This implies a belief in the equality of man in one sense;
in their inequality in another."
That is real liberalism.

How fitting. How liberal of you and Mr. Friedman. Did he say this before, during, or after working for one of the most bloodthirsty dictatorships on this Continent? A dictatorship that would make EVEN these silly bearded Mullahs squeal. Did he say this before, during, or after shaking hands with the devil himself as He [the Devil] "disappeared" thousands of men, women, and children in the dark labyrinths of the Bureaucratic-Authoritarian regime of Augusto Pinochet that your government installed, funded and armed for 17 years?

Yes, that is real liberalism.

I didn't even watch the press conference, just felt the urge to respond to this very ironic post.
 
One would think no other president ever used a teleprompter. Bush couldn't deal with index cards and a teleprompter ... he still sounded like a fool.

I disagree. He sounded the same with or without a teleprompter, in either case he never explained what he hoped to accomplish. Obama is better at that, even though he lies. Bush didn't lie, he just failed to tell the American people what he hoped to accomplish.

Bush was nothing BUT a liar...even his first Treasury Secretary concurs...

"During the campaign, candidate Bush had criticized the Clinton-Gore Administration for being too interventionist: "If we don't stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, then we're going to have a serious problem coming down the road. And I'm going to prevent that."

"The thing that's most surprising, I think, is how emphatically, from the very first, the administration had said 'X' during the campaign, but from the first day was often doing 'Y,' Not just saying 'Y,' but actively moving toward the opposite of what they had said during the election."

You are kiddin' with that "confirmation", aren't you? EVERYONE writes a f*ing book!

Stay Tuned for More of 'The Obama Show'
By Dana Milbank
Wednesday, June 24, 2009

In his first daytime news conference yesterday, President Obama preempted "All My Children," "Days of Our Lives" and "The Young and the Restless." But the soap viewers shouldn't have been disappointed: The president had arranged some prepackaged entertainment for them.

After the obligatory first question from the Associated Press, Obama treated the overflowing White House briefing room to a surprise. "I know Nico Pitney is here from the Huffington Post," he announced.

Obama knew this because White House aides had called Pitney the day before to invite him, and they had escorted him into the room. They told him the president was likely to call on him, with the understanding that he would ask a question about Iran that had been submitted online by an Iranian. "I know that there may actually be questions from people in Iran who are communicating through the Internet," Obama went on. "Do you have a question?"

Pitney recognized his prompt. "That's right," he said, standing in the aisle and wearing a temporary White House press pass. "I wanted to use this opportunity to ask you a question directly from an Iranian."

Pitney asked his arranged question. Reporters looked at one another in amazement at the stagecraft they were witnessing. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel grinned at the surprised TV correspondents in the first row.

The use of planted questioners is a no-no at presidential news conferences, because it sends a message to the world -- Iran included -- that the American press isn't as free as advertised. But yesterday wasn't so much a news conference as it was a taping of a new daytime drama, "The Obama Show." Missed yesterday's show? Don't worry: On Wednesday, ABC News will be broadcasting "Good Morning America" from the South Lawn (guest stars: the president and first lady), "World News Tonight" from the Blue Room, and a prime-time feature with Obama from the East Room.

Yes, and this has to rankle the imbedded media. They can't take kindly to this usurpation of their status; it's a snub and you don't snub the one you 'wuv'....(and who loves you) do you?
 
No matter which "side" you are on, this is very factual and "spot on"......sadly.....



Last Monday was a profound evening, hearing Dr. Charles Krauthammer
speak to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant
intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright & careful in his
analysis, & never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a
fearmonger nor an extremist in his comments & views. He is a fiscal
conservative, & has a Pulitzer prize for writing. He is a frequent
contributor to Fox News & writes weekly for the Washington Post. The
entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have shared this w/
many of you & several have asked me to summarize his comments, as we are
living in uncharted waters economically & internationally. Even 2 Dems
at my table agreed w/ everything he said! If you feel like forwarding
this to those who are open minded feel
free.

Here is his resume from Wikipedia:
Charles Krauthammer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A summary of his comments:
1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to
be underestimated. He is a 'cool customer' who doesn't show his
emotions. It's very hard to know what's 'behind the mask'. Taking down
the Clinton dynasty from a political neophyte was an amazing
accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them.
Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan & Clinton. He has a
way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing w/ your position,
while doing the opposite. Pay no attn. to what he SAYS; rather, watch
what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington
to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, incl.
dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on his ambitions, as
the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, & wants to 'level
the playing field' w/ income redistribution & punishment of the
achievers of society He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or
Canada.

4. His 3 main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, & NAT'L
HEALTHCARE by the Fed. govt. He doesn't care about the auto or financial
services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap & trade
will add costs to everything & stifle growth. Paying for FREE college
education is his goal. Most scary is healthcare program, because if you
make it FREE & add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer
system, the costs will go thru the roof. The only way to control costs
is w/ massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada. God forbid.

5. He's surrounded himself w/ mostly far-left academic types. No 1
around him has ever run even a candy store. But they're going to try &
run the auto, financial, banking & other industries. This obviously
can't work in the long run. Obama's not a socialist; rather a far-left
secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a
moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does,
not what he says.

6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the USA, more as a
ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to
orchestrate & coordinate various countries & their agendas. He sees
moral equivilency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany & England
was a prime example of how he sees America, as an imperialist nation
that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at
times made errors. This is the 1st President ever who has chastised our
allies & appeased our enemies!

7. He's now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (& pain) will
not 'come due' until after he's reelected in 2012. He'd like to blame
all problems on Bush from the past, & hopefully his successor in the
future. He has a huge ego, & Mr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcicist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge
strong. We're 'pining' for another Reagan, but there'll never be another
like him. He believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except
for his terrible speech in Feb.) are the future of the party. Newt
Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere &
intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts & info
if she's to be a serious candidate in the future. We need to return to
the party of lower taxes, smaller govt., personal responsibility, strong
nat'l defense, & states' rights.

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible & outrageous. We're
spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyper
inflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves
into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid & Pelosi a pass because
they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due & people
will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus pkg.
These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions & the
Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-Sept. when Lehman brothers failed. Fear
& panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, & the war was grinding
on indefinitely w/o a clear outcome. The people are in pain, & the
mantra of 'change' caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have
won this election; it was surprising is was as close as it was.

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be
swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If
it's between 8-10%, it'll be a dogfight. It'll all be about the economy.

I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in
Washington & Congress. There's a left-wing revolution going on,
according to Krauthammer, & he encourages us to keep the faith & join
the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on most
issues & can reclaim our country, before it's far too late.


Are you SERIOUS? This is textbook right wing FEAR MONGERING!

What Krauthammer is saying is that the President of the United States is an "OTHER"...Barack Obama has evil motives that are designed to undermine America...he is calling our President a traitor...

Krauthammer's PROOF...Krauthammer KNOWS another persons MOTIVES...

I don't see anywhere in Krauthammer's credentials that he has perfected the Vulcan mind meld...

I just can't believe how stupid you right wing pea brains are...

Stay Tuned for More of 'The Obama Show'

In his first daytime news conference yesterday, President Obama preempted "All My Children," "Days of Our Lives" and "The Young and the Restless." But the soap viewers shouldn't have been disappointed: The president had arranged some prepackaged entertainment for them.

After the obligatory first question from the Associated Press, Obama treated the overflowing White House briefing room to a surprise. "I know Nico Pitney is here from the Huffington Post," he announced.

Obama knew this because White House aides had called Pitney the day before to invite him, and they had escorted him into the room. They told him the president was likely to call on him, with the understanding that he would ask a question about Iran that had been submitted online by an Iranian. "I know that there may actually be questions from people in Iran who are communicating through the Internet," Obama went on. "Do you have a question?"

Pitney recognized his prompt. "That's right," he said, standing in the aisle and wearing a temporary White House press pass. "I wanted to use this opportunity to ask you a question directly from an Iranian."

Pitney asked his arranged question. Reporters looked at one another in amazement at the stagecraft they were witnessing. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel grinned at the surprised TV correspondents in the first row.

The use of planted questioners is a no-no at presidential news conferences, because it sends a message to the world -- Iran included -- that the American press isn't as free as advertised. But yesterday wasn't so much a news conference as it was a taping of a new daytime drama, "The Obama Show." Missed yesterday's show?

I'm frankly surprised Dana Milbank doesn't know that selection of press corps members is hardly something "new." He's been around Washington longer than Obama. As for the questions they might ask? It's a safe bet that the HuffPost reporter will ask a softer question than Major Whatshisname from Fox. Also nothing new.
 
Krauthammer is very astute in his observations.

He is among my favorite political intellectuals - and a great human interest story to boot.

Thank you for the post. (minus your own words on the subject of course.)

Last eight lines not mine,also agree on your opinion of Krauthammer


THIS type of hyperventilation from Charles Krauthammer or anyone that calls himself a thinking man reveals he's the antithesis of astute...he is either an emotional fear driven coward or an ideological fascist

I can just picture all of them (similar to the first press conference when he had a designated line-up card), sitting there, frantically waving their hands, silently shouting "Puleeze, Mr. President.... Me... Me..."

Geezus Maggie..... Didn't you just tell me you don't post things that you haven't thoroughly researched? (Translated: aren't true)

Obama Changes Press Conference Protocol, Rattles Reporters

When President-elect Barack Obama meets the press Wednesday morning for his third news conference in as many days, it's anyone's guess which reporters he'll call on.

Literally.

Before Tuesday's press conference, incoming Press Secretary Robert Gibbs assigned numbers to CBS, NBC and ABC, then he had an aide select a number from one to three. And that's how NBC correspondent Savannah Guthrie came to kick off the Q&A with the president-elect.

Fair? Arbitrary? Haphazard? Perhaps. But the press corps has another word for it: Confusing.

A "transition period hybrid," is how spokesperson Jen Psaki described the method behind the apparent selection madness, which was all the more baffling since traditional White House protocol - based on strict rules and hierarchy -- was followed during Obama's first post-election presser on Nov. 7.

"We've tried to keep as many people happy as possible," Gibbs said. "I have no doubt there are many who have attended one, two or all three [Obama press conferences] who find this system not much to their liking."

"Our thing has been to try as much as we could to spread it around," Gibbs added.

This from the emotionless Bfgrn..... ROTFLMAO!

Ironic...right wing pea brains like you parrot the "Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly" talking points: "Liberals make decisions based on emotions"...

When the TRUTH is, right wing pea brains are totally driven by "emotion"...

Recent example: President Obama made an intelligent decision to speak cautiously about the election protests in Iran...Obama was fully cognizant of the fact the Ayatollah and Ahmadinejad would face strong condemnation for killing and brutalizing protesters from the Iranian people, UNLESS, the Ayatollah and Ahmadinejad could paint the protesters as foreign agents of an enemy trying to topple their government...THAT would be the United States...but it was Republicans and right wing pea brains that were whining and suffering angst because President Obama did not lash out with an EMOTIONAL response...

Right wing pea brains...dumber than a pile of dogshit, and PROUD of it!!!

ROFLMFAO!!!

ROFLMFAO!!!



What IS ironic is that a self-professed Liberal KNOWS all the talking points and a self-professed slightly right of center "dumber than dog shit" conservative couldn't tell you what time of day the "talking points" can be heard. BTW, where'd you get your highlighted "talking points"?? Did they come with your higher education degree??
