He makes it sound like if we don't do this plan, the only option being put forward is no plan. This is silly. There are great, smart, balanced plans being suggested.
Yeah good 1st question but the beginning of his answer was funny, "No no no no...." kind of reminded me of, "No no no no you silly woman. Listen to me, I am the One."
OMG, we are suffering from global warming with all the hot air coming out of his mouth. Failed theories of the last 8 years? You're blaming Bush? How about Barney frank, chris dodd...
His answer on making federal buildings more energy efficient is a good one...but how about $80M for new schools in Milwaukee...where there are 15 empty schools!
Look at that little troll of a human sitting in the front row. I forget her name, but even if I remembered it, if I typed it, my fingers would explode.
Well, clearly using the bully pulpit to shape the national narrative. I think expecting him not to point out that he inherited this mess is naive. Four threads in the narrative he is trying to create here: 1) I inherited this mess, 2) the Republicans (and by extension deregulation/trickle-down fiscal policy) gave it to me, and 3) I will do this with or without you, and 4) we must move now, even if the bill is not perfect.
Sorry everyone--should have advertised this. I'll probably be by myself, but that's ok too!
ReplyDeleteState of Maine....nice payback to Collins and Snow...
ReplyDeleteWhen will those jobs be created Mr. President?
ReplyDelete"only government" can break the cycle. Tough to hear, but he may be right. But this isn't the way.
ReplyDeleteSo the tax cuts brought us here? I thought it was a financial sector meltdown and liquidity crisis. How silly of me
ReplyDeleteHe is an impressive fellow, no doubt about it.
ReplyDeleteHe makes it sound like if we don't do this plan, the only option being put forward is no plan. This is silly. There are great, smart, balanced plans being suggested.
ReplyDelete...ah, for the future of our children and grandchildren.....
ReplyDeletepuke.
Good first question.
ReplyDeleteA bit of a call to arms...
ReplyDeleteJust don't buy the "worst since the great depression" thing. Could be...at some point. But isn't. Early 80's were worse.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, James!
ReplyDeleteHe's being disingenuous right now...most people in the republican party and most in congress agree something should be done...just not this!
ReplyDeleteHe's talking too much...
ReplyDeleteTalking way too much....
ReplyDeleteSize matters!
ReplyDeleteYeah good 1st question but the beginning of his answer was funny, "No no no no...." kind of reminded me of, "No no no no you silly woman. Listen to me, I am the One."
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the credit markets...you remember them, the ones who won't have any credit left once this trillion dollar nightmare goes through....
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Doc!
ReplyDeleteWho gives a shit about people who's property values decline. Do they have shelter? Are they making their payments? is anyone taking their house?
ReplyDeleteGood second question.
ReplyDeleteHe's just not as good on his feet. He's good, mind you. Just not as good.
ReplyDeleteOMG, we are suffering from global warming with all the hot air coming out of his mouth. Failed theories of the last 8 years? You're blaming Bush? How about Barney frank, chris dodd...
ReplyDeleteHamas is a terrorist organization! Good for him. Too many people think it is a political party.
ReplyDeleteStrategery!
ReplyDeleteHe's more measured right now. he knows he's gonna screw up if he doesn't pace himself!
ReplyDeleteSuffering from twin evils of talking too much and not knowing what he wants to say....
ReplyDeleteI once had an admiral who said, "I like the beginning of your message and the end....make them closer."
ReplyDeleteGood question, Chip!
ReplyDeleteHe's going to cure Washington! Fantastic! Wonderful!
ReplyDeletePelosi equals bad habit. Reid equals bad habit.
ReplyDeleteHe can come over and have drinks at my place, if he' like. Bring along some of those little hottie staffers!
ReplyDeleteYes, Jon Favreau can bring his little hottie!
ReplyDeleteHe's full of SHIT. No one is saying DO NOTHING. They are saying DON"T DO THIS!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean, if they are sincere about it? Of course they are....they've been telling you that.
ReplyDeleteThe "i inherited it" line is going to get old....
ReplyDeleteOMG his mind is wandering...just a bunch of spudwaz spewing forth.
ReplyDeleteNONE OF THIS IS MY FAULT...I INHERITED IT ALL...WAHHHHHH!
There don't have to be "earmarks" when the Dem policy committee wrote the BILL! They sent a list around and said "what do you want?"
ReplyDeleteTo say this is as boring as watching paint dry is an insult to drying paint.
ReplyDeleteHis answer on making federal buildings more energy efficient is a good one...but how about $80M for new schools in Milwaukee...where there are 15 empty schools!
ReplyDeleteNobody is saying medical records electronics is bad...just right now!
ReplyDeleteYou're living in a house that is over 200 years old, Mr. President.
ReplyDeleteThey should still make them NRG effiecient!
ReplyDeleteAnd let them sit there of course
ReplyDeleteBut that is what is happening, mr. president. Republicans are disagreeing on the particulars of this bill and your side isn't playing ball.
ReplyDeleteYes. Please tell us all how to spend our money mr. president.
ReplyDeleteYes, taking risks for your ACORN peeps!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was republican taxes that caused this Mr. President...so it really is the credit crisis.
ReplyDeleteLook at that little troll of a human sitting in the front row. I forget her name, but even if I remembered it, if I typed it, my fingers would explode.
ReplyDeleteHe's giving answers that are too long. I hope someone tells him that.
ReplyDeleteOMG, he is breezy! Net, net man. Bottom line, end of the day!
ReplyDeleteYou DONT have to spend the money my man!
ReplyDeleteHelen Thomas...he's supposed to go to her for first question.
ReplyDeleteI mean she's supposed to ask the first question.
ReplyDeleteAH, that's right. She's a troll.
ReplyDeleteBad question, Tapper. Softball.
ReplyDeleteMan he talks too much.
ReplyDeleteEarlobes...falling...asleep...ahhhhh...
ReplyDeleteBryan, I read that he says 4 million jobs will be created. Is that an educated guess or something pulled out of ones rear end?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize there were going to be so many responsibilities in this job!
ReplyDeletewhat a lot of doubletalk on the flag draped coffin deal.
ReplyDeleteAnd did I tell you how we just screwed Zinni?
ReplyDeleteHello, anonymous!
ReplyDeleteI gotta depend on all these guys, 'cuz I don't know jack.
ReplyDeleteSmartly and effectively! Ooh!
ReplyDeleteHello, Wahoo! It's really me, Bryan, it just takes too long to type my name in
ReplyDeleteHow long until they're back asking for TARP III?
ReplyDeleteObama CAN'T distance himself from the last TARP bailout...his folks were DEEPLY involved in the planning...
ReplyDeleteCastro is envious of POTUS' time on stage!
ReplyDeleteHurray Sally!
ReplyDeleteGREAT question Major!
ReplyDeleteGreat question Major Garrett...good answer Barack...definitely make fun of Joe Biden.
ReplyDeleteThe President's demonization of Fox news thus far in his term has been a low point, no doubt about it.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or is Obama already showing the signs physically that the job is stressful and appears to be aging rapidly?
ReplyDeleteLove that he doesn't have a clue what Joe was talking about.
Yes-I'm surprised he called on Major Garrett. What's with that name, do you suppose?
ReplyDeleteMLB hasn't done anything for a decade and isn't going to start now.
ReplyDeleteBill--my brother Sean tried to say that the job doesn't age a man...that they age at the same rate.
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW that is one nasty woman.
ReplyDeleteSO CALLED TERRORISTS HELEN? WTF?
ReplyDeleteI really can't stand that woman.
ReplyDeleteI wish this would end; I really am anxious to see The Bachelor.
ReplyDeleteGet off the stage man
ReplyDelete24!!!!!
ReplyDelete24 starts in 9 minutes
ReplyDeleteSHUT UP HELEN!
ReplyDeleteHe's talking to the wrong guy in Russia
ReplyDeleteHUFFINGTON POST?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteHUFFINGTON POST? Is the Daily Kos next?
ReplyDeleteLeahy wants a truth and reconciliation panel...what a jerk.
ReplyDeleteDoc...no F words, please
ReplyDeleteI deleted a post of mine which dropped the F-bomb on The One for going to the HuffPo.
ReplyDeleteHE DOESN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT BIPARTISANSHIP!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Doc.
ReplyDeleteDe nada
ReplyDelete...put that behavior aside....kind of like you did down in Williamsburg, huh?
ReplyDeleteGood question Mara. Way to go Obama, blame it on Washington culture.
ReplyDeleteLIAR LIAR LIAR
ReplyDeleteYes,Barack...the framework...Then they saw the bill and saw all the christmas ornaments hung there...
ReplyDeleteQuit invoking the 'failed policies of the last 8 years.' You own this now pal
ReplyDeleteCan anyone enlighten me on which Republican said we should blow up the public schools? I missed that.
ReplyDeleteNot bad.
ReplyDeleteI think we should live blog The Bachelor now!
ReplyDeleteHe wants to rename us as the United Socialist States of America. Next will be the new currency The Amero because the dollar will be worthless.
ReplyDeleteOn to 24! Go get'em Jack!
ReplyDeleteWell, clearly using the bully pulpit to shape the national narrative. I think expecting him not to point out that he inherited this mess is naive.

ReplyDeleteBut James, this bill is all but passed. Why is he still yelling at us that it needs to pass?
ReplyDeleteWell...because he's trying to construct a narrative.
