Did you catch this quote from the President?

"I've said before that -- you know, people have asked me, when did it hit you that you are now president? And what I told them was the most sobering moment is signing letters to the families of our fallen heroes. It reminds you of the responsibilities that you carry in this office and -- and the consequences of the decisions that you make."

Unlike George W. Bush, who quietly and without any fanfare WROTE letters to the families of fallen servicemen and women, I take President Obama at his word - that he merely SIGNS letters.

O’Reilly loses me most of the time. He thinks Obama did a good job in this presser. An hour of angry denunciations and empty platitiudes?

i think his speaking style is boring....I just don’t see the draw....i must be blinded by my partisanship??

***The “cadence” while he’s speaking grates on my last nerve. He’s not delivering a sermon. (well he thinks it is)The last word always has such emphasis. Drives me nuts.***

After this speech the far left hacks and MSM will proclaim Obama the smartest most insightful President ever but to most Americans that saw this presser he showed what a village idiot he really is.

I totally agree with you. There is an article going around FR that outlines how he hypnotizes people. An expert in the field gives specific examples of his speech, and explains what effect that has on people. It’s a several hundred page document. It makes good sense to me - people are hypnotized by him. Not your truly.

Obama should have corrected Helen's remark.

He didn't.

But he used "terrorists" like three times in his answer. That was at least a partial rebuke to Helen.

“He is such a liar! Saying that almost every economist agrees with his position. What about the full page ad in the NYT with over 200 economists, three of which were Nobel prize winners who said his plan won’t work.
He is stumbling around and clearly is uncomfortable. He is struggling with his answers. He sounds like an idiot. “

I can’t watch as he is just too annoying especially with the smugness of his misstatements. But you folks are what is getting me through. It sounds like a comedy but I’m sure the media won’t report it that way.

Your right it was a PRESS conference but are you also trying to say he did not know America was listening even after he (his team) highly publicized / promoted this conference.

Yes he should have looked art the press (Not above them all) but also to the camera some of the time would have been proper and better received by the people he was preaching to. Remember one of his purpose for the conference was to build the American public confidence on the stimulus as announce by his own team. So yes he should have used (looked) the camera a fair percentage of the time.

Come on, now. Let's be fair to Present Obama. He doesn't merely SIGN letters written to the families of soldiers killed in action. He has a machine that does that.

Why does Obama ALWAYS look to the side, he hardly never looks straight ahead?

Rush commented on that once...I think it has something to do with arrogance.
