Obama to speak and then take questions from media. News sources say this conference is due to his loss in the polls:)

[kjam22]

He will really have a problem drawing a line of energy independence in his “global economy”. Not going to work.

[Textide]

A Saturday morning press conference gives the public plenty of time to forget the reversal of his position on drilling before the Monday news cycle.

[mewzilla]

He seems rather subdued this morning, doesn’t he? Or am I reading too much into it?

Betcha he's so pre-programmed he's on autopilot. Every word memorized, every gesture rehearsed. Wouldn't leave much room for spontaneity.

[Loyal Buckeye]

The purpose of the news conference is to provide the Sunday talk shows with material to talk about instead of talking about the bad week Obambi had.

[tiredoflaundry]

I hear ya!

[Actually_in_Tokyo]

Wow, thanks for that.

Robama!

LOL. I crack me up.

BINGO!!!!!

[tiredoflaundry]

Your right, he almost looks like the wind has been knocked out of him, like he just heard some bad news.

[Textide]

My Lord, it’s impossible to listen to the uhs and ums.

[kjam22]

Some idiot reporter wanting Obama to discourage part of the bill that allows drilling 50 miles off the coast of florida.

[tiredoflaundry]

Good lord, a second questioner talking about “Democrat hearts have been broken”.

[TornadoAlley3]

celebrety ad question

answer- I think it's uh, the one thing we know is that Mccain’s team is a carry over from Bush, good at campaigns, not good at governing, they are good at distractions.

[mewzilla]

My Lord, it’s impossible to listen to the uhs and ums.

Note to Robama's tech squad: Better have a look at his circuit board.

[Kaslin]

How you can listen to this arrogant blooter is beyond me.

[kjam22]

The country isn’t in a recession. Reports show continued growth.... so to make it sound bad he’s announced that Florida is in Recession. Okay.... whatever you say.

[mewzilla]

Good lord, a second questioner talking about “Democrat hearts have been broken”.

Question for the libs: Still think that character doesn't count...?

[SE Mom]

Exactly. Something is different.

[Sacajaweau]

Yup....JUst thinking that. Now, everyone who was going to say anything against Obama and “THou shalt not Drill”...is rewriting in anticipation.

[MaestroLC]

Talking down the economy. "People are hurting."

He's giving a lot of non-answers. He flipped on FL oil drilling again.

Ahhhh... Celebrity ad question... Lord Omaba: "They are very good at negative campaigns, but not good in government." ... "Clever at creating distractions." ... "I want to (ect)."
