BYO popcorn, beer and barf bags.

[Hoodat]

Zero: We inherited a trillion dollar deficit.

Wasn't he one of the members of Congress that gave us that trillion dollar deficit?

[MamaLucci]

Do something or do nothing..........what a dumba$$

[Bean Counter]

He is in so far over his head it’s scary! He’s up there trying to stumble through his old campaign stump speeches. It’s clear that these questions from his supposed friends in the Pres Corps have him terrified and pissed off that they dare question him.

He’s in big trouble...

[MAexile]

As a matter of fact, I don’t want government to do anything!

[StatenIsland]

This man is a liar and an idiot. He thinks we are all idiots.

He has only one mode - campaigning. He has ABSOLUTELY NO F’IN CLUE about governing, and he is the PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.

Oh my God, this man is actually everything the BDS morons thought Bush was.

[SirFishalot]

Yeah, tax cuts caused this mess???? Tax revenue went up.

And what is this bull he inherited the debt, he ran for the job to shoulder the debt.

God I hate trial lawyers, especially in government.

There he goes again, he calls a name off of a list and askes where he was.

[shadeaud]

Ahhh Chuck Todd from MSNBC

[pabianice]

... he's still rambing, getting angrier and less coherent every second..."I've inherited a catastrophe and I have to fix it and we can't take the time to look at the Porkulus Bill in detail but there is no pork in this bill and there are no special set-asides and I am going to keep on engaging and I hope that we will come together and I suspect that the package will not please abyone but we have to create 4M jobs and when people say that we are wasting money on making buildings more energy efficient and that saving money on federal buildings in the case of homeowners we are making strides in more affordability and I don't know what we wouldn't want to less independent on foreign oil but don't suggest that that's wasteful spending and the samew thing applies to healthcare providing and the reason we have the most incompetent healthcare system in existance when nurses and doctors can't read what is written and education... why shouldn't the federal government not want to be involved in school construction and i was down south in a school built iun the 1850s and the pipes are broken and jids can't learn and why shouldn't we want to fix that so why should the feredal government not be involved and that's why we need this Bill from my perspective."

This man is a Marxist cretin, folks.

[Vinnie]

Will he allow random questioning? That’s a really big question for me.

No

I didn't wade through all the posts but observed that the first 3 questions were from reporters whose names were written down on paper.
It was obvious he called on reporters by looking at a list.

Did he know the questions in advance?

I'll go out on a limb and say YES. /s

[Son House]

Construction workers, Firemen, and teachers will do well, it’s ALL others that get the screw

[Redgirl]

“NO EARMARKS???? - THE WHOLE THING IS A DAMN EARMARK!!! What an SOB!!”

I think even his sheeples may figure out this whopper.

[jhw61]

Excellent post Sarah! Fabulous! How true, my parents lived through the Great Depression. My 80 year old Mom has more food than me!

[penelopesire]

A set up question by NBCDNC!

[teg_76]

Chuck Todd...lol....lap dog....nice question...can I make love to you Obama?

[GOP Poet]

This Obama guy is a long winded SOB.

EXACTLY! I have never seen a person throw up book length monologues that answer basically nothing for every question!

[relee]

... the most inefficient health care system in the world ...?

[longtermmemmory]

Obama “liar liar pants on fire!”

his entire speech summarized.

CNN is going to go into orgasm mode after this.

Mathews is going to go all tingly.

It is all pork.

Obama is not acknowledging HE created this mess with his ACORN organization FORCING mortgage sales in bad neighborhoods.

[acoulterfan]

All I can get out of this is “Nothing is not an option”

[DoughtyOne]

Kevin, it’s undeniable that this guy has the attention span and gravitas of a ten year old boy. When you think of his presentation in those terms, it’s incredible how clear it is.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

ROFLMAO!!!!
