Whoopee!

The last time Obama had a formal press conference was the infamous 'cops acted stupidly' one on July 22, 2009.

He'll be taking questions starting (around) 12:45 p.m. EDT.

The Nation waits....

[Rona Badger]

Agree! We’re on Q4 now!

But WTH is he talking about? What does this have to do with a lack of response from Day One? Lord help us all.

“Predating my administration....” Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[spectre]

Might have to do with the fact that there's no shortage of oil slicked, toxic creatures in his hometown.

Good answer! Wouldn't want the Obamas breathing toxic fumes, would we?

[BigSkyDream]

He just blamed Bush and Congress ROFLMAO

[txlurker]

Blaming Congress now for the waivers being issued...LOL! Egads this guy is so slick....

[TomGuy]

A problem with getting environmental waivers approved...
“predating my administration” ...

[Dont’ blame me.]

[vox_freedom]

And now on another question, he continues to blame Bush! For the US Gov'ts response, under Obama's leadership and administration, to this emergency BP situation? HUH?

[Dansong]

This is the deal: The preselected reporters “appear” to be asking tiugh questions ( compare to reporters during Bush/katrina), but they are not, O is using oil jargon in rambling answers. No real follow up.

I see a different Obama. I see a man using alot of words to say nothing.

All he has really said is that they have talked and evaluated ad nauseum.

[ColdOne]

I don’t think this government has guns to the familys reporters heads so not really Moscow like yet?

[Moonlighter]

"He’s very confident the Federal gov’t has responded with consistency on the sense of urgency

Yeah, none. p.s. Thanks to Spectre and other Freepers who have the intestinal fortitude to tolerate and report back on this latest dog n' pony show.

[Dansong]

They don’t need guns - they are religously devoted to O....

[gopwhit]

He’s tryin to cover his ass, yet take credit for being on top of this from day one.

Exactly, which is why this is so painful to watch.

[RummyChick]

I dont know..this last question was pretty hard

[sissyjane]

Chip Reid Baby!!!!

[spectre]

Thanks, but I’ve got my barf bag handy.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I thought odds were Chip Reid would ask a hardball question. The word has gone out, this presser is on the oil spill and the oil spill only.

[antivenom]

soup to nuts...

this guy is so lame....

[ColdOne]

Rush just said someone called him on something!!!! Ha Ha Ha!

Is it really necessary to have an environmental study for each and every well drilled when there are thousands of wells operating in the area already?
