Obama Pushes Back on Reporter's Questions

[zoomorphicrap]

lieing piece of shit

[boxtears]

I was a lifelong Democrat and in November 2010, I voted for a Republican Congress; in 2012, I'll be voting for the GOP candidate.

Obama has single-handedly killed America and now it's time to take back the country.

[ACTINGDRAMA]

@boxtears get it back from who? lmao.

[aquabluegrl]

@boxtears I dont really see how Obama can win on his poor economy record if he does it will be because of all the money he has stashed away more than all the other candidates..and the corrupt groups like Acorn and others that will do everything again to get him to win even if it involves cheating on some things..kind of what many suspected happened the last time.

[donklue]

I AM going to have a writer from Saturday Night Live give me a shot to write on the show. Can someone watch my homepage and tell me if the vids are funny enough to get me on SNL.  All I need is a few views

[WLegacy30]

I'm so glad he's the President. This country needs a leader who is rational and not hot-heated and think through decisions and consequences pertaining to America's safety and the war in the Middle East. People can call him arrogant and so forth, but he is the best person for leading this country right now.

[FCA88]

@WLegacy30 the best person? really? how can you justify this when he has only made the economy worse, has destroyed foreign relations with Israel and EU. and after 3 years he is still blaming all shortfalls on others.

[Seekingthetruth100]

yes we can yes we can.... well I couldnt becouse of bush. its not that hes any worse then bush its that he took the bad things bush did and excelerated them.

need more info.

[stevespell2]

DEM LEGAL SCENTS

[44Magnum6]

If you are still an Obama supporter, you are an idiot. This is not an opinion. This is proven fact from over 3 years of in-depth research. The research began before Obama became president. Trust me on this.

[TonyBeanify]

@AUSM92 Disagree with China vs Taiwan. Things changes. Look at the fact where hillary had to went to china personally to beg for money, not taiwan. Good point on other examples though.

[glezjuanito]

let him do his job u try to fix this country john McCain would have gotten america blowen up lol

[LordKaisen]

@glezjuanito true

[trainguy3]

Of course he does, He's a politition and if u havent learned already, THEY ARE ALL LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrStropparo]

he is so tough isnt he

i am so impressed with this display of heroism

wow......just .........wow

he is amazing

this guy wouldn't know strategy if a navy seal e-mailed him one.

[dmnarc]

Wars should be fought by politicians not soldiers

[AjakeC1]

Norman Mattoon Thomas

Was a leading American socialist, pacifists and six-time presidential candidate for the socialist party of America.

The Socialists Party candidate for president of the US, Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 Speech:

The American people will knowingly not adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism,” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

[bizzarreangel]

IS THIS THE NEW WORLD ORDER?

[TheVee909]

i thought this was going to be a funny video, but this only angers me to watch those black lips lie.

[raymone6]

For someone who was so against the war in Iraq he doesn't seem to be bringing our troops home any time soon he is a con man. Everything he promises is usually bs considering he said he would withdrawl in less than a year with the time limit constantly changing over the months can he stick to a plan? Bush's problem was he tried to work together too much with the democrats toward the end you give them a yard they will take a whole field the same thing vise versa you need to know what YOUR doing

[raymone6]

Any president who measures himself based off other candidates is not the right man for the job. He is always worried about what someone is saying about him rather than focusing on the country. Say what you want about Bush he didn't whine like a girl if someone spoke bad about him. The media has protected Obama for a long time now that they are starting to question him he can't deal with the pressure. I don't want a president who worries more about a billboard of him being put up

[bcsROBBERY]

amatuer

[zeemba123]

bcsRobbery is my gay lover, he says he loves the taste of the cum from my big black cock.

[GoggledSniper]

This is in fact the worst president and making history for himself as he continues. One of his cabinet members for treasury got caught funneling and stealing 40 billion dollars through AIG already and was proven to save tax payers hundreds of dollars.

I gotta say this tho. Everyone is right, Barrack Obama is A GREAT president to be in the white house, that way we can show people what a true failure of a president looks like so we will never elect that big of a mistake again...

[HASSDICH62]

fuck that muslim jewish gay nigga

STFUH

the whole world os laghuing about america ! what happend 2 u americans ! u r israels bitch and these jews take money out of ur pocket and u blind

[MiloHuey]

I think Obama for the most part was right on this and he did answer the question fairly without any push back imo.

[BobbyUnrelentless]

John McCain was at that convention.

[jpkm7992]

Mr.President, Please appoint Mrs.Clinton as Sec.of State, Sincerely, the U.S.A.

[paulb10486]

wheres the rest of the response?

[NormaJeanIsInsane777]

he thinks it was a disaster because he has the same religion as them.

its as simple as that.

[sandweezy]

So you are admitting it as a religious war? You my friend should die a slow death with your mother. It is people like you who give America a shitty name...fuck Christians, Jesus, Muslims, and Mohammad...innocent people are dying...THIS IS ABOUT HUMAN LIFE, NOT SPIRITUAL FAITH IN A COOKIE MONSTER THAT DOESN'T EXIST.

[NormaJeanIsInsane777]

religious wars are stupid. i never said it was. more people have died because of religion then of anything else. and yes, i know its about human life. i hate war. but if we pull out of Iraq now, then EVERYTHING that our troops have fought and died for will have been for nothing. he doesnt have faith in our troops to finish the job. he doesnt support them at all.

[sandweezy]

They have fought for nothing...they are fighting for nothing. This war was a mistake, we need to accept that. Obama supports the troops, NOT THE CAUSE and PURPOSE in Iraq. You are stupid to say he doesn't support the troops. He wants to put all our resources into Afghanistan where Osama is...not Iraq, which has nothing to do with the USA. This war is SHITTY, we need to get out ASAP before more US soldiers die for a rich man's war.

[NormaJeanIsInsane777]

yea...he supports the troops alright. thats why, instead of going visit troops in Iraq, he went to a gym at the Ritz Carlton hotel.

also, there are THOUSANDS of terrorists in Iraq screaming "death to america" and he wants to take the troops out. we're trying to establish a democracy. if we leave now, the terrorists will take over AGIAN. they'll build up they're armies, and they'll attack us again. and then Obama wants to lower or military funding, which will weaken our defense system.

[NormaJeanIsInsane777]

*continued*

and if you recall, Clinton did the same thing right before Bush went into office. 9 months later, 9/11 happened.

just throwin that out there.

[TheDoctorofSurgery]

Way to answer the question.

[bennie1955]

The great part is the questioner was a Republican plant and not a member of any recognized news organization - thus the 2" preamble. Fake reporters, fake video, fake issues. Liar Boy McCain voted to kill thousands of Americans for no purpose whatsoever. Liar boy then voted to de-regulate banks - now $trillions to bail out; employs 26 current or former lobbyists for Fannie Mae, including his campaign manager. Fake reporters - the Republican favorite tool in their campaign of lies and smears.

[ourflag]

NoObama was not even in the s enate to vote on the war.But he said he was the only one who voted against it.Now he was not in the senate to vote.And then he ducks the question on this one as allways and he turns it on someone else in what he wants to talk about to duck a question.Fuck'n nut case Obama is!

[upabittoolate]

uh, yes he was. in what universe do you live? he answered the question just fine. sure the surge worked. but why were we there in the 1st place? al queda & the taliban weren't there. osama wasn't there. for WMDs? we never found any & never will. north korea has has been bragging about theirs for years but we ain't fucking with korea. all that said, why the hell are we in iraq? sure the surge worked but if we weren't there a surge would never have been necessary. that's barack's stance

[ourflag]

There he goes again he gets away from the question,And he's telling them what the question is .

[ZeMoreno]

Sorry Barak, unless "diplomacy" and "compromise" are new kinds of automatic weapons, Americans can't comprehend what the fuck you're talking about.

[mmorg08]

Actually Obama is a lot better at speaking than McCain is, so I don't see how ebonics comes in, except for maybe the fact that you're being an ignorant racist.

[FreedomAintFree1]

Obama bin Dodge'n the question!

[Mplay1983]

When you're answer to intelligence is more racism and ignorance, I laugh because it only makes people like you sound more stupid and unvaluable to the world. Keep it up so that people of value and importance make the difference while you eventually disintegrate!!!!

Obama/Biden '08

[bobbytiger]

Was he speaking "Ebonics".

I couldn't understand a fu#*ing thing he said.

Then again.......he couldn't either.

McCain/Palin '08!!

[DMarley16]

Obviously you're an idoit who doesnt know what "ebonics" mean. He was NOT speaking in ebonics at all. If you could'nt understand thats because YOU'RE ignorant.

[Hudd1950]

Pols like Obama cause more soldiers to die. The surge worked and he would still vote against it--typical liberal bull-shit. These kind of people caused the Viet Nam nightmare to prolong itself and not a single idiot from ther left has ever admitted what they did caused more Americans to die.

F. and Y. to you, Obama, Clinton and all the rest of the smarmy dems and socialists.

[DMarley16]

You sound ridiculous. Obama didn't cause anyone to die...that was Bush.

[ACDCrocks822]

congress votes to enter a war, learn basic American politics.

[sandweezy]

And Congress didn't vote...Bush went in without approval...also, look at all the facts that were WITHHELD from Congress before they voted...Youtube this video "Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder". Learn basic American corruption.

[cliffhanger42]

Barack is a socailist like every Democrat ..look at thier wanting the Goverment to do everything for the people.

[GstateBALLER925]

and what do the Republicans want? oh yes, just fighting useless wars and taxing the middle class. very nice.

[Stingerbillion]

@cliffhanger42 So what's wrong with that? Democracy was founded by a socialist, isn't, everything we have now is based on socialist, so obama is a "socialist" and it's wrong? You help your friends and families, doesn't it make you a socialist? Since when did becoming or being a socialist a horrible thing? Free markets didn't help either, just look at what happened when recession happened, meaning corruptions and nothing beneficial to the middle class.

[pdmlink]

He has no opinion of value. He speaks but doesn't say much.

[angermuller]

What do you think he should elaborate on? What should his answer sound like? What is your opinion on the surge? AND What do you know about the surge? You have no right to discredit anyones answer on the topic if you dont know anything about the question.

[pdmlink]

I think he should answer the question which was "in the last 5 years, haven't we learned that a commander in chief needs to be willing to acknowledge mistakes, errors in judgment when circumstances change?" Instead he deflects the question by bringing up McCain, then creates two questions of his own, one of which he answers - that voting against a phased withdrawal was not a mistake. A lot of words to ultimately say "no, never admit fault."

About the surge, I have family and friends involved.

[bombertheelephant]

back handed loaded question and Obamam ios all over it. You obviously cherry picked your soundbytes and are not happy about the possibility of havign someonme who isn;t a war monger looking like he may take up the role of CIC.

Keep running your mouth while you're family are bailing out your stupid heiny with their blood.

Who gives a rat that your family are involved that does not give you any more say than anyone else in a democracy. Thems is the facts..so they say...

[seldenkid]

You racist clowns are trying to kill America. Can we survive another eight years with you Fascist bufoons at the helm. Zillions of dollars spent and what do we have to show for it. 4 dollar a gallon and videos from that mass murderer Bin Laden. McCain and all the rest of you retards are to dumb to be running this country. Your time is up Obama 08

[ObamaTheRacistGuy]

Obama is a racist, socialist, pathetic pig who hates America!

watch?v=FSIpU9eJwBc

watch?v=4Y3HTT82afI&feature=re­lated

Go to hell Obama.

Americans will vote for McCain.

[Cirbirus]

Why do they call it "The Surge?" Why not call it what it is? "The Payoff"

[Spoonsrcivic]

i was there!

[DillonX]

Over the last couple of days, violence has greatly increased in Iraq.

It looks like 3 females set off bombs -- killing over about 75 people & wounding over 200 (some will be without body parts now).

These appear to have been done by Sunni.

Therefore, look for an announcement in the near future that dozens of Sunni bodies will be found buried in different locations.

AND ALL TRAFFIC IS NOW BANNED IN BAGHDAD DUE TO THE UPSWING IN VIOLENCE.

THE SURGE IS A TOTAL FAILURE!

[tuft112]

i love this guy's brain.

[Patriots4McCain]

I fail to see how a JUNIOR senator with no military experience could have an opinion on matters of war and national security.

[thabooger]

well u trusted a mediocre C average college bum. and as for mccain, just because he was a pow doesnt mean he should run this country.

[tedfreeway]

You're right. He should also be President because of his many years of experience, his solid views that rarely change, and his dedication to the country instead of like Obama who constantly criticizes the United States.

[thabooger]

wats wrong with criticizing? thats the first step to change. hes not like these blind followers who pretend like theres nothing wrong with the government. he sees areas that need improvment and he speaks on it. wats with people who think if someone criticizes america it automatically means they hate america. thats very childish and stupid. typical right wing sean hannity propoganda.

[tedfreeway]

If you have nothing positive to say at all then that is ridiculous. McCain points out problems without sounding like America sucks.

[thabooger]

obama doesnt sound like "america sucks" either. u just hear wat u want. which is pretty pathetic coming from a voter.

[thabooger]

he has many positive things to say. u just choose not to hear them.

[ObamaTheRacistGuy]

Obama has no opinion on anything - at least not until he sees what the polls say. Obama is a worthless racist pig.

[SatwaMan]

A military crackdown (surge) always supresses the situation. That's why western countries complain every time some country imposes a military crackdown.

[vrj40]

For all who keep asking the question "When will Obama admit that he was wrong on the surge", when will the question " Senator McCain why will you admit that the vote to go to war in Iraq in the first place was a wrong choice."

[LawrenceKennard]

I'm sorry I posted a comment here. You don't pursue logical discourse. You just throw emotional insults while throwing your brains out of the window. This whole comment board is fit for difinistration.

[dogstar7]

60 people killed in bombing targeting Shiites and Kurds this weekend. 3 bombers were women.

Tell us again how the "Surge" has worked and we are winning...???

[dogstar7]

All this "some say" bullshit is tedious. Nobody but McCain and his lap dogs in the press are hounding Obama on the "Surge" non-issue.

McCain and the right-wing press corps keep trying to shift the subject to the past saying Obama has to take back what he said 6 years ago. That is so that we forget they have NO PLAN for getting out of Iraq...AT ALL!

Obama is talking about NOW, TODAY and is looking towards the future of our commitment to Iraq and the Middle East.

[LawrenceKennard]

Obama just needs to admit he made a mistake. The surge saved alot of lives. Whether you were for the war or not, the surge saved lives.

[driubi]

uh, because you used your crystal ball to view how bringing troops home would have turned out. In a country whose inhabitants majority think its okay to shoot at our occupying forces - i could see us being their as aggravating the issue. Also the success had more to do with the suni's than the increase in troops. you could always plan on staying their until everyone hates us so much that they stop so that we go home - but that certainly isn't a sound foreign policy.

[dogstar7]

Why does Obama need to admit anything? He's doing a damn good job whipping McCain's wrinkled old ass as it is. Who does he need to win over? War loving old vets?

[BostonBeatnik]

Obama: More troops "helped" the situation.

He refuses to give the credit to our troops because he just can't admit that he was wrong. What an idiot.

McCain 2008!!!!!

[apropo0]

♫ How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look? ♪

[dogstar7]

Obama just gave credit to the troops in the clip the above, which the rest of of watch while you were simply writing your misinformed comment.

Maybe if you would listen, instead of displaying your disdain, you might learn something (heaven forbid!)

[cooolandy]

He feels like a man with great gravitas after this trip. He confidence is renewed now he knows the world is stongly on his side.

[drexelohio]

SURGE is only a marketing term.

[PussycatGoGo]

Asking Obama about regret in judgment? How about asking that of Bush? Is this the Twilight Zone?

[ObamaTheRacistGuy]

Too bad Bush isn't running for president genius. It is Obama and McCain. Obama is racist, socialist, and has terrible judgment. McCain is a soldier, puts country first, and continues to make the right decisions. Where the hell was Obama on Georgia? Oh yeah, completely clueless! The economy? Communism failed! Obama is a pig.

[angermuller]

Gives us facts to back up your opinion and we might care about what you have to say. Everything you just mentioned was a generality. Facts are what change minds not speculation and hearsay.

[slotjockey34]

Obama is neither racist nor socialist, and as for judgment, he opposed the Iraqi disaster from the start. McCain is no longer a solider (he is a pandering politician), though based on the oily machismo oozing from his pores during his comments on Georgia, I'm confident he'd like to roll up his sleeves and punch Russia in the face himself!

[TPAUSA]

Obama knows how to handle these hacks very well.

OBAMA.08!

[FUCKYOURGODINTHEASS]

It isn't hard to handle these slow pitches.

The MSM doesn't ask real or important questions anymore.

[asdffd]

The surge was to last 6 months and allow the Iraqis to reach a number of "benchmarks". 18 months on and almost none of the benchmarks have been met. And yet people keep saying it was a success- that violence has gone down. Well yes, it has. But the main reasons are neighborhoods were cleansed along sectarian lines- millions of Iraqis fled for Jordan and Syria. So there are fewer people left to keep. And we are paying the Sunnis and al Sadr's people not to attack our troops.

[SkinsDeep]

Yep, on all counts. Great post.

[mcgibbonx]

SURGE!!!

Get over the surge you, Obama has answered this over and over!

Way to go O!

[sandwichappy]

@mcgibbonx "Get over the surge you, Obama has answered this over and over!"

he has gone around it "over and over".

[darkally]

go obama, way to fight the republican talking points!

[Indubitably14]

this is the third interview where I have seen this question asked...cant these reporters come up wtih anything else???

[darkally]

of course not! they are no better than common sheeple

[sandwichappy]

@Indubitably14 "this is the third interview where I have seen this question asked...cant these reporters come up wtih anything else???" they will once he answers it

[greenberet069]

@Indubitably14 can't he just answer the question. he has to take a question, make up his own question and answer it. you were wrong they were right. get over it.

[allencrider]

Mainstream reporters ask the same question again and again. Good job, Obama.

[zzzxxyy]

I'm no Barack Obama fan, but I'd rather see him president than Johnny Mac "Reagan's in my blood" McCain.
