Press Conference Thread

Well, the sales job continues and the media is buying.

No questions about the economy? No questions about the budget? Unbelievable.

A few points that really chapped me:

1. when talking about what has surprised him, BO said how people play "politics" even during serious issues (e.g. economy). Seriously? Does he think he or the Dems aren't doing this? Does he think not buying into his agenda = playing politics?

2. equating GM and Chrysler to having an auto industry in the US.

3. endless references to all the problems they inherited and how he's here to fix them with the power of the government then suggesting he doesn't want big government - he wants lean government.

Is he delusional or simply BSing people. I honestly wonder at times.

It just ended but I'm sure there will be one.

Here's a preview - no tough questions. One marginally tough question.

What have you been enchanted by?

That NY Times reporter should never be allowed to cover another press conference.

What have you been enchanted by?

It sounded like something a judge would ask at a Miss America Pageant.

 

[volinbham]

I think Miss California got tougher questions.

Dennis Miller just said it was like watching a Brownie Scout meet the Jonas Brothers.

On CNN, Fareed Zakira just referred to Obama's diplomacy toward Syria and Iran as a "beautiful overture".

Mr. Obama: "During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office? Enchanted you the most from serving in this office? Humbled you the most? And troubled you the most?"

What a joke. Mockery of the office.

I was listening to it on Sirius, I nearly drove off the highway due to sheer boredom.

It's amazing he gets anything done when he can't shut up after being asked a simple question.
