Live Thread: Obama Press Conference APEC Summit 9:45 P.M. EST, 4:45 P.M. HST 11/13/11

Yes, Dear Leader has scheduled a press conference for 9:45 p.m. EST during Patriots-Jets Sunday Night Football game. I doubt NBC will break in for it, but the cable networks will surely cover the APEC summit presser. That's the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit being held in Honolulu this weekend.

There's plenty of mischief afoot as this Reuters article attests:

U.S. expects "significant" APEC step on green trade

The United States expects Asia Pacific leaders on Sunday to take a "significant step" toward reducing tariffs and other barriers that block trade in environmentally-friendly good and services, a senior administration official said on Sunday.

"We're in a good place. We has some very constructive discussions around the important issue of environmental goods and services trade liberalization," the U.S. official told Reuters at the annual summit meeting of the 21 members of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation.

"We expect that when the outcome is explained after the leaders meeting it will be recognized as a very significant step forward," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity before the leaders issue their statement.

SNIP

In case NBC does interrupt the game to cover Obama's press conference, remember an empty beer can thrown at your TV does less damage than a full one.

Did you notice that he took over the DoD’s Hale Koa (”House of the Warrior”) hotel so that the troops and veterans couldn’t use it for R & R? Yeah, he loves the military alright!

His official white house schedule makes no mention of this. The last listing is that he left San Diego on Friday evening en route to Honolulu, but there is no account of him actually landing.

The White House doesn't update their website for the edification of the public. Try this press release published by the Chicago Sun-Times.

Obama is late, as usual. CNN is the only cable network to cover so far. MSNBC and Fox are sticking with their schedule. CNN just got tired of vamping for Obama and went to commercial.

CNN reporter Dan Lothian says he’s been pre-selected to ask a question at tonight’s presser. Says that it’s not a certainty he’ll be called on by Obama. Says Obama is set to take six to eight questions.

The only reason he is doing this and the one in Australia is to make it seem like this is a “working” vacation/trip.

CNN host Don Lemon says Obama is “usually early or on time.” He really said that.

That made me laugh. ;-)
