(CBS/AP) President Barack Obama will hold a post-election news conference on Wednesday.

The White House said Tuesday that Mr. Obama will take reporters' questions Wednesday at 1 p.m. in the East Room.

"I actually do sense that he feels slightly humbled. He looks like he got his weenie whacked."

I respectfully disagree. He's laying groundwork (for the media) to blame the GOP Congress if nothing gets done on his agenda. This is still All About Him. This is definitely not a "I tried and it didn't work, so we'll yield" speech. For BHO, the idea of Common Ground means "compromise to MY agenda."

[blueyon]

OH NOW HE WANTS TO WORK TOGETHER......... hahahah NO

[fullchroma]

“I’m the President of the United States... and we’ve not made as much progress as we need to make...”

Noooooooooooo! Stop the reckless progress!

[spectre]

He’s carefully avoiding the words “Health Care and Over turn...”

[onyx]

Rush said it’s all a set up - that he’s saying everything that McConnell and Boehner want to hear.

“Not about me - all about working for the American people.”

[ColdOne]

notice he keeps his head down and will not look at the camera. Telltale sign that he does not believe what he says and is disengaged. I will not watch him, I will read here though.

[Braak]

Damn. Oh well, for all we know, Issa could be “creatively manufacturing the truth”, God, I hope so.

[refreshed]

Something like “are you willing to admit this was a repudiation of your policies?” That’s a paraphrase.

[BunnySlippers]

I hate it when he saus “people are frustrated”. We’re furious with him!

[nascarnation]

electric cars, blah blah blah

[TomGuy]

...people aren’t seeing that progress...

==

400K+ new unemployed EACH WEEK!

17% U6 unemployment

9.6% general unemployment

Bush tax cuts expiring in less than 2 months.

No, it doesn’t look like much progress, not have the indebtedness of $1Trillion+ in useless stimulus bills.

[penelopesire]

Well said!

The man is delusional and sick in the head.

[ErnBatavia]

I hate it when he and his fellow ‘rats use the term “move forward”.

[Severa]

Holy hell how long does it take to answer this first question?

[Jacktown]

He is NOT happy.

Somebody messed with his plans. How dare they !

[Road Warrior ‘04]

OMG. He will NOT admit that his agenda is what killed the democrats. Such an egomaniac.

And, he never will! Pompous ass!

As I see it, the only way this Bozo can do a better job, is get out of the Office! And, get the hell out of the way!

[nascarnation]

Wow another tough question.....

[onyx]

“I have to do a better job.”

BS!
DON’T FALL FOR IT.
HE’S LOOKING FOR WONDERFUL MEDIA HEADLINES WHICH HE WIL GET!

[TSgt]

Wow, the media is actually nailing him!

“Could the voters conclude that you’re still not getting it?”

[Darkwolf377]

He opens with a lecture on civility. And reminds us that he’s the president. He brushes aside the economy is talking about electric cars.

It’s the trap of his ideology—he cannot change because he thinks he’s right and we’re all wrong—we just don’t UNDERSTAND that he’s right and we’re wrong.

Two more years of bitching about enemies and blaming others.
