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.
Agreed, and we cannot say it enough. The problem is judging Obama by normal standards, as though he were just a stupid, inept, and egotistical man with strong Marxist links and views. He is that, but he is also a Narcissist and that makes him incapable of being able to correct himself or consider anyone else's viewpoints important. The definition of his emotional dysfunction - Pathological Narcissism is below.
The narcissist: * Feels grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates accomplishments, talents, skills, contacts, and personality traits to the point of lying, demands to be recognised as superior without commensurate achievements);
* Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist), bodily beauty or sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion;
* Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions);
* Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation – or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious (Narcissistic Supply);
* Feels entitled. Demands automatic and full compliance with his or her unreasonable expectations for special and favourable priority treatment;
* Is "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends;
* Devoid of empathy. Is unable or unwilling to identify with, acknowledge, or accept the feelings, needs, preferences, priorities, and choices of others;
* Constantly envious of others and seeks to hurt or destroy the objects of his or her frustration. Suffers from persecutory (paranoid) delusions as he or she believes that they feel the same about him or her and are likely to act similarly;
* Behaves arrogantly and haughtily. Feels superior, omnipotent, omniscient, invincible, immune, "above the law", and omnipresent (magical thinking). Rages when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted by people he or she considers inferior to him or her and unworthy.
The above list was from an article in:

Barack Obama - Narcissist or Merely Narcissistic? by Sam Vaknin, Ph.D. - 8/13/2008.
It is very interesting to read the entire article. Vaknin is not an American, and not living in the U.S. but as a Narcissist himself, has clearly recognized Obama's behavior for what it is.
‘I did notice that he almost choked in getting the word “capitalist” out.’
Hahaha. Also,has anyone ever heard the words ‘freedom and liberty’ come out of his mouth?
Thanks for the info.
I am completely with you. I have not watched his sorry butt since election day. Much better for my blood pressure.
No real questions asked, all just milquetoast preapproved script.
(You say this , and I'll say that.......)
Destroy the transmission Towers! LOL.
What PAP!
Obama is coming across as a fascist.We are on to him.
All of those questions sounded like they were written and handed to them by David Axelrod.

Not only voted for it, he was one of its main cheerleaders. Now he has a deficit that he had no part in causing, riiiiggghhht.
Johnny Carson perfected the technique. Later, his prompter was at floor level.
