Obama Remarks on Economic Stimulus Plan (Live)
Fox News

Posted on 02/05/2009 5:33:42 PM PST by KJC1

Live on Fox News now.

He started out with lame jokes about how this appearance gave him an excuse to use Air Force One, and something about someone teaching profanity to underprivileged children.

And more blather.

Just thought I'd start a thread on this live appearance.

"Obama’s believing his own press..."

Press?............America has a Press?

Maybe you meant "Obama's believing his own Pom-Pom Club"?

Thanks for the link.

LOL I probably shouldn’t laugh but your “change accomplished” made me spit out my water.

I’ll check it out tomorrow.

We are so screwed.

Things are bad and this idiot ranting and raving does not help things out!

I agree 100% with you. I DO want the socialist agenda to fail, but I do not want a president who is a stark, raving lunatic. An incompetent like Jimmy Carter we can handle, but someone who is truly unbalanced is VERY dangerous and puts all Americans at risk. Not only at risk from the economic chaos, but physically at risk from attacks from our enemies.

It's not something to be scoffed at, it's truly frightening. This goes beyond partisan politics and toward self preservation and national preservation. I share your concern.

I hope if it gets too bad and becomes too apparent, that the adults will step in and take over. Biden is a doofus, but I would much rather have him at the helm right now.

"It not the ecconomy that will never recover, the ecconomy will recover. Obama is convince HE will never recover."

Actually, according to CBS News (for what it's worth), polls say that popular support for Obama's stimulus package is dropping significantly by the day. In January, support was at above 60%, and today it is at 51%.

What that says is that people supported it more when they didn't know what it really was. The more they understand, the less they support it. That's why he is trying to shove it through ASAP, before support drops below 50%.

Googling AF-1 operating costs comes in about $60,000/hour average from a few different sources. Guessing 131 mile flight would take around 40+ - min each way that trip cost $78,000 for flight time alone.

And this guy has the gall to talk out about how other’s spend their money?

That is our one hope. That the military will go against all their training about the chain of command, and refuse to carry out any operation against American civilians.

If it has to happen, I hope it happens sooner rather than later, after he has opened the military back open to gays. We stand a much better chance of not being at the end of an American rifle if it isn’t handled by a pchsyologically unfit, socially oppressed, tinker bell.

It really doesn’t matter what CNN tries to sell...no one with a brain is buying.

Obama looks really weak and really desperate. Not a good combo. We are in deep, deep, doo-doo.

Obama just asked, when was the last time that we saw a bill of this magnitude without a single earmark, not a single one?
Was he serious? Or is he nuts?

He's seriously nuts.

I'm just going to throw it out there . . . for what it's worth. My local news just aired a clip of the O boarding Airforce One for his first trip out of Washington as president.

The camera shows the O acending the stairs (coatless) and as he climbed, I thought "he's not going to turn and acknowledge the assembled (press?) with a wave or a salute; he's just going to march straight into the aircraft.

And that's EXACTLY what he did! Unbelievable. Such total self-absorption. Blech!

Does he think that more flags make him patriotic? It just makes him look needy.

Exactly! I haven't seen his other flag-filled appearances, so I didn't know this was SOP.

He waxed nostalgic about campaigning after campaigning for the room. He likes the applause and crowd approval. Actual work as a president isn't nearly as fun--no crowds cheering in the Oval Office; all those pesky Republicans and even Democrats who have to answer to their constituents about an oinker of a bill. He tried to put lipstick on the ever-growing hog but is irritated that he's actually having to work on something that supposed to be a done deal on Coronation Day.

He needed to hear clapping and gathered a group of yay-sayers for a personal pep rally. He addressed them exclusively, never once looking straight into the camera which represented the rest of America; I found that odd. I don't recall Pres. Bush ever avoiding looking at us so deliberately, even when he had to say something he knew wouldn't be popular with his own base.

Heaven help us if we have another attack on a large scale.I cannot imagine how Zero will respond.
Maye total appeasemet and apologize for antagonizing the terrorists, blaming the US for causing it. Possibly he nukes a country and starts WW3! Its no joke, this guy is in way over his head and we will all suffer greatly because of him, I do not say that lightly or jokingly —I honestly believe this fool is going to do serious harm to the country—ALL of us.

I was actually yelling at the TV

Just yelling? I was cursing at it and wishing it was an old analogue TV so I could throw a brick at it.

The Dems can pass this without any Republican support. The Dems will be committing suicide because the economy is going to go from sputtering to a nosedive crash. All the idiots who voted for Jimmy Carter II are going to wake up out of their utopian dreams to a real nightmare.

Sarah Palin will win in a landslide election victory in 2012.
