After watching this debacle, I realize that Barack 0bama had a great deal of potential: he could have failed at almost anything. Why did he have to go into politics?
I didn’t watch this live but just saw some footage on the news. He never looks straight ahead into the camera and talks to the people. He always looks like he’s watching a tennis match while talking. Horrid speaker.
1. I found it amazing, because Obama already had a prepared list of reporters who he would call on to ask him questions.
2. My point is this: What kind of legitimate news conference is it when the President of the United States is so scared of certain reporters' questions that he has a prepared, safe list of reporters who he will call by name to ask him questions? 3. In my opinion, that is a very unfair way to hold a so-called open press conference.
4. That is, if Obama already knew beforehand what reporters he was going to call on and what questions they were going to ask him, why didn't Obama simply have those reporters mail in their questions to the White House and have Obama respond to the questions on national tv in the privacy of his White House office?
5. Just wondering: How long must we wait for a brave reporter to get up at a so-called Obama news conference and ask Obama the following FOUR questions:
a. What is the name of the country where you were born?
b. What is the name of your birth hospital, because you and your sister give the names of two different Hawaii hospitals.
c. Have you ever gone by the name of Soetoro, your deceased Indonesian stepfather's name?
d. When will you release your long form birth certificate---the one with the names of the doctor and birth hospital names on it?
Will someone in the main news media please show some guts by asking the questions above at a news conference, a news conference held by either Obama or one of his staff?
Remember: A one 4 year term president is a weak president, so a one term Obama president would be a weak president.
Heres the thread I was talking about. I guess I was just lurking
and waithing for the “24” thread last night. Oh well.
Some good reading here for ya’.
