Gather ^ | SEPTEMBER 20, 2010 | David Anderson

[Hojczyk]

President Obama will answer questions about the economy at a town hall meeting that is scheduled to air at 12:00 PM on CNBC today. Obama has been working overtime to defend his administration's record on the economy, firing back at Republicans who want to blame Democrats for the bad economy. The President has been on the offensive over the past few weeks, accusing GOP lawmakers of blocking key aid to small businesses and tax cuts for the middle class.

He’ll claim whatever TOTUS tells him to claim.

Looks like Biden made his deadline as today is last day of “recovery summer.” Oh, goodie.

Thanks for pointing that out. Hardly anyone here took notice but I see there are now headlines on that particular question.

Don't bother it is not worth it...I figured CNBC would give hard questions,,It was a love fest..CNBC is spinning like crazy..unless you want to see how dumb he really is..I don't think he answered one question..

* He says he needs more time
* He said that unemployment wouldn't exceed 8% - he was wrong

* He asks for a “date certain” from our military for withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan

* Can someone ask him for a “date certain” on when this will be over?

If there’s nothing you can defend, make something up and attack Republicans for being racist and not bipartisan.
