President Obama was scheduled to speak at 12:30pm Central Time. While we are still awaiting his words, feel free to vent about the current situation in Egypt until he begins speaking!

NYTimes DOES have a pretty good archival search. It’s a little screwy to figure out how to set just right (dates, etc), but you can narrow it down pretty fast. I search for ancient racing stories from more than a century ago.

"Notice how quickly he left the podium after he was done?"

He sure did. I would have left too, knowing almost every press question would have almost certainly started with:

"What IF......".......(put your favorite question here about MB, Egyptian treaty with Israel, Suez Canal, American backing of Israel if attacked, etc...)

Good Grief anymore proof needed as to who is behind this? English lettering for the propaganda wing of this White House, otherwise known as MSM.

[hoosiermama]

Yes. It was bouncing big to the upper right of the commentator...The person being interviewed answered when he was asked if he liked America...”Fifty fifty....Love the American people, but the government” Then the person doing the interview broke in.

But I did hear another person saying that they wanted freedom like Iraq.....Something tells me that without our MSM that some Egyptian people get their news off the Internet. They may be getter a more truthful picture of what's happening here than some US citizens get.

Uh, uh, days like today, uh, uh, so momentous, um, I want to be clear, I, I, this job as amazing and exciting as it is, um, [painfully sloooooowwwwly], forever a part of this experience, um, I will miss boring days like today, hahahahaha, you know, keep going......blablablablabla....

[La Enchiladita]

Obama did not mention ONE word about mideast peace or Israel.

And therein lies the message to Israel.

OTH, we can expect dancing in the streets in Gaza.....

Watch Fox Business News instead.

That's the ticket. I watch a lot more FBN these days.

Well at the very least,if ‘rage boy’ takes over they may end up with nukes anyway.Delivered right to their door via long skinny things with flames coming out the end.

[who knows what evil?]

Our descendants will curse the names of those who voted for Obama...many are doing so already... :-)

Obama’s blackberry went off when he was speaking at baghdad bobs last presser. Mubarak wants more money or he’ll be back.

[ColdOne]

NOPE nor will he ever. This all about the destruction of Israel and all U.S. allies.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Baghdad Bob Gibbs almost cried.

[scott7278]

Thanks for the insight...that makes a lot of sense. Some Christians I know have a laissez-faire attitude toward Israel; not out of anti-Semitism, but because they believe God is protecting them.

I try to explain that even though that is certainly true, the God that ordains the end also ordains the means to the end, and we therefore have to uphold righteousness and justice.

God has His hidden will, but we must act within the scope of His revealed will. I mourn for America, because right now we are on the wrong side of Israel.

It was just a “I’m just like JFK and Reagan” speech by a charming charlatan delusional about REALITY. If Jimmah Carter was a gifted speaker this speech could have been given when the Shah left. And we know what happened after that.

Obama has NO IDEA what comes next. Only how to look good and speak — from teleprompter — charmingly.

[floriduh voter]

Why do you think Obama wants wireless for the masses? MSNBC’s just not enough for BHO.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Is it me or is bahdad bob gibbs saying ahhh ummmmmmmm ahhh a lot. The media is letting Gibbs spin all the Egypt Obama questions.

[scott7278]

His handlers were probably telling him to wrap it up. I’m being serious - he wrapped it up after that.

Gas at the Rally station is at $3.01. Everyplace else it’s #3.04 and up. Apparently the Suez Canal affects Israel and Europe more than us but if other mid east countries pull this stuff, we’re going to be affected imo.

Uh, uh, days like today, uh, uh, so momentous, um, I want to be clear, I, I, this job as amazing and exciting as it is, um, [painfully sloooooowwwwly], forever a part of this experience, um, I will miss boring days like today, hahahahaha, you know, keep going......blablablablabla...."

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Obama knows what comes next he has to pretend like he is horrified when it happens.

Not one word about mideast peace or Israel in his historic speech shows he knows.
