Today's Brack Obama press conference has been moved indoors over fears that Washington's heat and humidity might make Associated Press White House reporter Jennifer Loven's hair explode live on national TV:

Denial....a river in Eqypt...moment.

[TornadoAlley3]

we know recovery act saved jobs he says.

[Citizen Soldier]

I laughed out loud when Major Garrison noted there is no room for telepromptors or a jumbotron in the back and with a straight face no less! Ha!

[Vermont Lt]

imagine if he was a surgeon and he said he was 95% effective.

[PhiKapMom]

That is why I cannot watch the man. I have low blood pressure and want to keep it that way! :)

[Neverforget01]

Ohhhh recession would have been worse without stimulus! No way to prove that!

I wonder if anyone will ever ask about Korea?

[gop4lyf]

He has goop in his left eye.

[ShandaLear]

Second DC trainwreck in the last 24 hours.

[Royal Wulff]

...and then lists a bunch of non-productive public sector jobs as examples.

[TornadoAlley3]

takes a dig at networks saying WH is concerned about polls. LIAR.

[SE Mom]

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Of course he lies to us- we’re on to that. But we’ve learned that he lies to himself, making him more dangerous than even I suspected.

[ReneeLynn]

Watching him makes me want to have a cocktail or two.

What an utter nothing. “He’s a real nowhere man...”

[ClearCase_guy]

I guarantee that this is going to hurt him with his elitist suck-hards in the media.

I think that the "Cool Kids table" in the cafeteria may have to react to the fact that one of the supposed "cool kids" is exposing himself as a total dork. Now everyone at the table is going to look foolish -- unless the dork is ostracized from the "Cool Kids table".

I expect the media to turn on him, and I expect late night comedians to hit hard -- Letterman especially: he needs to reassert his ability to make acceptable, biting political humor.

[truthandlife]

I bet he will look like this again after this press conference:

[jennyjenny]

Bambi, your mortgage program IS NOT WORKING!!!!

[Miss Behave]

Here we go again. Running on. Defensive. Sing-songy. Indignant.

[ShandaLear]

Trying to get back to his talking points.

[Royal Wulff]

Threadwinner!

[divine_moment_of_facts]

LOL.. Doesn’t he look like he’s going to burst out in tears every now and then? Yikes!

[TornadoAlley3]

African American unemployment rate question.
