Obama Live on CNBC Business Roundtable Speech NOW - Anybody Watching?
CNBC

Posted on 03/12/2009 1:39:00 PM PDT by what's up

It was the usual bobble-headed speech where Obama was seen as addressing the room so warmly and personally, but actually is him addressing 2 teleprompter boxes. Now he is getting questions from the Business Roundtable.

The Roundtable seems to be asking just sycophantic questions.

But what got me is that Obama came on 5 minutes AFTER the market closed. Seems that he's getting the hint he needs to shut up while markets are open because he tanks them.

Doesn’t he realize they’re going to open again in the morning?

This way they get about 18 hours to recover from his socialistic pronouncements.

Saw some of the same old “stump” speech. The Q&A was a real hoot. Obama was surrounded by a bunch of butt boys who praised the messiah and then asked him soft ball questions.

What a bunch of gobbledygook. I wish they'd show the expressions on the faces of those in the audience more while this guys uses a bunch of words to say absolutely nothing.

I accidental watched 2 questions and answers. I was listening not watching and it sounded like the audience was giving oral sex to him. Guess it must be illegal to actually ask a real question in America.

The answers I heard were pure, marxism. My head was about to explode so I quickly switched it to Discovery.

“It’s BUSH’S fault”,... “I inherited this mess”, yada yada yada. Pointing the finger every where else for the issues as hand. What a Putz! Obama the Putz!
Just remember HE VOTED FOR THE TARP when he was a Senator!

By his TARP vote, he OWNS this mess!!!! He should have voted PRESENT so it would not come back and haunt him.

The only reason I'm sitting thru this drone-fest is to see what the commentators say afterwards.

I hope Santelli is one of them.

Obama is using the usual technique of calling on people listed on the paper in front of him instead of daring to take unsoliticited questions. What a TOTAL boob.

The questions are no doubt staged. This roundtable is a sham.

These people should be ashamed of themselves.

Demofascists every one.

He also had his list of questions and who to call on.

I’m leaving the office in a few but will check back on this thread later if I can.

I am VERY interested to see what any CNBC commentators say.

I’m not surprised The Big 0 isn’t taking unsolicited questions. As many other Freepers have noted, he’s extremely thin-skinned and defensive.

He also signed the latest 400 billion earmark money. He may say he inherited it but with his signature on the bottom line, it’s his now.

(Psssttt...Obambi...it’s called a veto. Use it if you don’t want the blame)

Joseph Goebels would be very proud.
