I stopped watching when he went on a circuituous, meandering and desultory non-answer to the second question about being in a permanent recession if we don't act on the spending bill fast.
Setting aside the fact that President Obama is totally ignorant on how to think in economic terms, the one statement that was stunning in its arrogance and stupidity was his reference to Japan's Lost Decade of the 1990s as what could happened to the economy if we do not pass the spending bill. Oh, the irony.

He was a babbling idiot. I am embarrassed that he is our President.
The gloom and doom is back.
O’Drama, the Great Babbler.
I’m with you ... listened about 5 min on the radio. That was about all I could take.
Elkhart Indiana is the RV manufacturing capitol of USA. What’s the stimulus gonna do to help RV SALES ?
Drill here, Drill NOW ?
Maybe they will build a wind Farm and invite OBAMA back to blow wind at the propeller blades ?
I was watching the Andy Griffith Show on TVLand.
It took him 8 minutes to not answer the first question.
He lied about Japan. He lied about the New Deal. He lied when he implied that Bush’s response to every problem for eight years was a tax cut. He lied when he said Bush’s spending caused this recession. He lied when he said his spending would end this recession. He lies a lot.
He doesn't do well with economic issues. Way back in the early presidential debate (before things started speeding downhill for the economy) he was asked a question which came with the intro: "Everyone agrees that we need to cut the budget" and then asked him for specifics on where he would cut.
His answer started with the acknowledgment "We do need to cut the budget" and then he explained how he would cut that budget: "invest in roads, invest in bridges, invest in schools, invest in green energy, invest in jobs, invest in health care."
So, the Spending Bill he was considering back in May 2008 just got passed.
Yep, and the MSM will happily let him get by with it.
One of two things is going on here. Either he and every economic advisor he has are truly stupid. Or they know that their plan won't stimulate the economy but are using the bill as cover to make even more Americans beholden to and reliant upon government.
If a majority think that this is in their interest, our problems are deeper than obama.
He reminds me of the old proverb: The empty vessel makes the greatest sound.
I watched my 6-year-old play Wii bowling, then we watched Kung Fu Panda.
And the word of the day is....
“Uhh”
I don't think I can watch that show ever again. Ron Howard is a vicious liberal.
