Chuck Todd: "How have you changed Washington?"
Posted on 09/10/2010 6:08:42 AM PDT by maggief
With his presidency at a crossroads, President Obama will face the media Friday at his first press conference since the spring.
As an increasing number of political analysts predict that Republicans will win the House this fall, Obama on Friday will defend his economic policies and hope to fend off questions about his weakened political standing.
The key for Obama will be to stay on message -- vote Democrat or return to the policies of the George W. Bush administration -- as reporters try to get the president to make news.
Obama addressed some of the most burning questions by sitting down for a TV interview while traveling to Cleveland on Wednesday.
In an interview with George Stephanopolous for ABC's "Good Morning America" that aired Thursday, Obama was asked repeatedly about Republican criticisms of his economic policies and the coming debate over whether to extend Bush's tax cuts.
Obama refused to threaten a veto over the increasing likelihood that Congress will extend all of the tax cuts for a year or two, which would hand the GOP a victory.
The president also voiced confidence that his party will win the mid-term elections this fall, despite polls suggesting Republicans have a good chance of winning the House, and an outside chance of winning the Senate.

I don’t understand this or the Drudge item, is the charge being made that he is now using the teleprompter to answer questions or just his normal speech/remarks giving? If he is now using it just to answer questions that brings it to a whole level worse.
Softballs? How about goose-down pillows?
Chuck Todd: "How have you changed Washington?"
One of our local tv channels cut away early from this alleged news conference for its own regular programming. Even that station, normally a liberal Obama supporter, got bored with his same old, same old.
I wanted to comment that all who live in our house, and those of most of our friends and family, all feel EXACTLY the same way! We hate to watch but we feel we must —
“This is his first press conference since spring? “

Didn’t realize that. Seems he’s been all over the media for everything but farting. Actually, I think the media has covered his farts too.
The TOTUS was used during opening remarks. I haven’t seen evidence it was used during Q & A.

That pastor is a nutcase and a media whore. He has become the poster boy for the idiots that think the muzzies should be allowed to build their victory mosque.
Ok, thanks for the clarification. If I was as clueless as Obama I would use the earpiece.
“That pastor is a nutcase and a media whore. He has become the poster boy for the idiots that think the muzzies should be allowed to build their victory mosque.”
Good point. I misunderstood what you were saying.
. BO must be playing too.
How about it would hand the people a victory.
I'm so sick of this political sh*t.
He used one to answer the questions of sixth graders at some school a while back. Nothing new here, unfortunately.
Awesome. I can't believe Anna's post was the one immediately following mine.

MY BED! It appears Dad only gets in bed with her on "special" occasions.

Sung to the tune of the Byrds’ “Turn! Turn! Turn!”, right?
