President Obama to Press Corps: Where’s My Birthday Question?
Mediaite ^ | 1 Aug 2014 | Tina Nguyen

Posted on 08/01/2014 5:15:21 PM PDT by mandaladon

In the middle of a tough press conference covering a wide range of difficult topics — the situation in Ukraine, the Israeli-Hamas conflict, the CIA’s admission that it had spied on the Senate, ISIS, Ebola, etc. — Barack Obama lost his legendary cool and asked the White House pool why they weren’t grilling him about the recent news about the rebounding economy, which he began the presser with.

“I think it’s useful for me to end by just reminding folks that in my first term, if I had a press conference like this, typically, everybody would want to ask about the economy, and how come jobs weren’t being created, and how come the housing market is still bad, and why isn’t it working?” he said.

“You know what? What we did worked, and the economy is better. And when I say that we have just had six months of more than 200,000 jobs that hasn’t happened in 17 years, that shows you the power of persistence.”

“I thought that you guys were going to ask me how I was going to spend my birthday,” he said in exasperation as the conference broke into non-birthday questions. “What happened to the birthday thing?”

Minutes later, he admitted that the CIA “tortured some folks” during the Bush Administration.

He is worse than narcistic, he has the reins of power, he is in fact, an effin’ fascist.No joke.

He intends to create enough disorder so he can declare martial law, and postpone the 2016 presidential elections.

I have no doubt whatsoever about that. We are just beginning to understand what , “ I’ll act alone!” really means.

Obama fascism, the historical case:

“Narcissistic punk...sounds like a spoiled adolescent...”

Well...what I see is, he’s acting like someone who knows they were “finished” before they even got started. Even the “adolescent kids” on my block are considerably more sensible than he.

I never thought I’d see such a beautiful sight-—a roomful of reporters yelling questions at Obama all at once. It was as if they snapped out of their worshipful haze for a moment and acted like a genuine press corps.

Facebook was down for an hour yesterday. I guess we know where the new Journolist group is. They were unable to coordinate the day's talking points and went off script.

"Dammit!" cursed Jarrett to her staff, "He's going off script again! He just blurted out that we give the press their questions in advance! Get him off stage! Get him off stage!"

Yeah she is probably pi****. Be relentless, the more gaffes like these occur the more Zero’s failed presidency will tumble. I wonder what Jarrett and Soros have planned for Bamby after he leaves the white hut-I personally hope he gets spit out of every cave he goes!

Isn’t it amazing how the hired help (obama) gets to tell management (WE the people) what to do and how to act?
