In the middle of a tough press conference covering a wide range of difficult topics the situation in Ukraine, the Israeli-Hamas conflict, the CIAs admission that it had spied on the Senate, ISIS, Ebola, etc. Barack Obama lost his legendary cool and asked the White House pool why they werent grilling him about the recent news about the rebounding economy, which he began the presser with.
I think its useful for me to end by just reminding folks that in my first term, if I had a press conference like this, typically, everybody would want to ask about the economy, and how come jobs werent being created, and how come the housing market is still bad, and why isnt it working? he said.
You know what? What we did worked, and the economy is better. And when I say that we have just had six months of more than 200,000 jobs that hasnt happened in 17 years, that shows you the power of persistence.
I thought that you guys were going to ask me how I was going to spend my birthday, he said in exasperation as the conference broke into non-birthday questions. What happened to the birthday thing?
Minutes later, he admitted that the CIA tortured some folks during the Bush Administration.

If you listen carefully you can hear the sound of the boy king’s mind unraveling. He could go at any time now.

He’s a goofy token, wondering why he was being treated as a white adult.

Heres the birthday question..... Why did you use American funds, personnel, equipment and facilities to overthrow the government of Libya?
...and a follow up birthday question: After overthrowing the government of Libya, why did you neglect to take appropriate measures to secure and protect American diplomats and security personnel in Benghazi that led to their deaths at the hands of terrorists?

You just reminded me that some years back I thought BHO would implode in time. Probably thought it would have already happened.

The mad, rabid dog in the White House is coming more undone very day. LOVE IT! Notice moochele is keeping a low profile.
These aholes are falling from grace. Reminds me of the 50s sci-fi movie, War of the Worlds, when the alien ships were crashing to Earth...picture obozo in his mom jeans and helmut crashing his bike, and falling off. Same thing. Obozo’s wheels are beginning to fall off. Ya!

He must define folks both as the media... and terrorists.
