We are witnessing an astounding performance by The One now on TV. Obama just gave a content-free "economic address" in which he announced that he is "appointing good people to his team" and then naming two.
The real news is that this is being followed by a Twilight Zone press conference in which he has pre-chosen friendly reporters and is calling upon them while refusing to ask for questions from any other reporters present. I have never seen such a shabby performance by a president-elect. He is using the pre-chosen "reporters" (with, presumably, pre-arranged questions) to trumpet his ideas and plans without fear of being challenged.
With the drooling lapdog press in his doggie basket, The One clearly plans to avoid taking any questions for the next four years. I guess Obama's "Fairness Doctrine" means no nasty questions.
Overall, Obama is running on and on about how he is going to solve our economic problems through "new ideas," "rejecting politics," and "working in a bipartisan manner" (which clearly does not involve being actually questioned by reporters).
Do we have to wait until he’s inaugurated until we begin the recall petitions?
Do ya feel comfortable with obama?
He can say whatever he wants.
The reality is whats happening on the streets as businesses close and the markets tank, payments are missed and foreclosures continue to rise.
No amount of smooth talk and press non-coverage is going to effect reality.
Obama has to be carefully managed. He makes big errors when he goes off script. He has a list of friendly reporters in front of him and will only call on them.
I would be so embarrassed if this fraud was an American...
Obama is really, really, really dumb.
William Ayers et al [David Axelrod, Cass Sunstein, Bernardine Dohrn, etc] were the ones who provided the intellectual impetus for the Obama phenomenon.
Obama himself is a moron.
We know that Obama can’t handle tough questions from adversarial press (the few that still exist). The one good thing in these “press conferences” is that these extreme lap dogs of the supplicant press are self-identifying. They remind me of CNN’s and Dan Rather’s groveling to Saddam for access and attention.
for me it has got to the point where I switch the news off now even FOX when obama is on.
It is disgusting to see this man act like he is president and will be president
His arrogance and his immature no class approach makes me want to vomit
Every time I see him I think of him sticking his finger up to the Clintons and to McCain like kid
He should not have even been the nominee, his voter fraud, his million in illegal money and the media got him to where he is and I still believe my state as well as other swing states did not vote for him legally
The GOP needs to get their act together and ban those illegal credit cards, find out where his money came from and call out those in the media like Matthews, MSNBC,NBC olbermann for being mouth pieces for obama
course the GOP will not do any of this and instead wait till 4 years time to face all of it again and then wonder why we might lose again
Did you see all the sh!t eating grins on those metro looking reporters faces? Ain’t lust grand.
He doesn not take questions unless it is planned ahead. If you noticed, when he does take questions he looks down on his list of names and then calls on a name. Sure sign the questions are planned ahead and his answers written down for him. Don’t expect anything different IF he happens to be sworn into office on January 20th. We will know on December 5th if Donofrio’s case is fully heard. I do believe it will be heard and the Constitution will be followed. :)
I have never seen such a shabby performance by a president-elect.”
Shabbiest POTUS Ever.
BTW, Rush noted he has called pressers at the same time Rush started his program, two days in a row. but you know when he has something of any substance to say, he’ll do it Friday after 3 pm when Rush is gone for the weekend.
We have such a thing?
Anyone got a capture?
get popcorn
enjoy the msm backbiting when it begins
I WILL NEVER intentionally listen to Mr Obama but my husband listens...says we need to know what our opponents say. What I overheard from this person, makes me furious...WE HAVE ONE PRESIDENT AT A TIME AND THAT IS NOW PRESIDENT BUSH! He’s says he’s a ‘uniter’ then makes sarcastic comments like...’this admin will admit when we make mistakes’...yeah, and the tooth fairy is real. This guy is so arrogant it makes me sick. W would never do it...and the media would have a field day....but, wish W would call Obama and tell him to shut up!
God, he’s not even in Office and I can’t stand it....4 years will seem like an eternity. The Republicans ...or some Party that genuinely puts America first...better get their act together for 2010 and 2012.
well let’s just have a permanent face off then
the White House vs Rush Limbaugh show
same time, every day for the next 4 years
voila- Fairness Doctrine
