@The2009lover after what Bush got away with Obama is a saviour

[jim30333]

You guys are supporting Israel settlements? What about healthcare? Right now all you guys have done have pardoned the Bush administration and prevented an uprising to undo their crimes. You are worse than Bush.

[Travass83]

China,Japan and other nations are already operating on US soil and have been for a long time. Mainly in the oil and natural gas industries. Drilling and mining. Except they don't hire Americans,1st they bring their own people with them and 2nd they use as much automation as possible.Robotic Machinery that takes the place of 20 or 30 workers. I have been to an Asian natural gas drilling rig and it was run by 6 people.usually a drilling rig has 30 or 40 workers per shift. They're already here

[XXY4LIFE]

Which means there are 24 to 34 people employed who don't do anything, causing Americans to pay greater costs for the same level of production. That is inefficient and wasteful.

[maskedphrogg]

Not sure how I missed the rare enlightened post my first few forays thru this discussion.

And foreign participation in US industry and property ownership cuts much more deeply than the oil and nat gas markets.

Private Chinese interests have controlled a former strategic Naval port at Long Beach Ca since the '80's so as to enhance their ability to import consumer goods across the Pacific Ocean. That is just one simple example of many.

The sell off of US assets began many many years ago.

[jim30333]

It would be really awesome if I started my own business and made this but that would take me a real long time.

Why don't you guys just have the pentagon do it and then we can prevent all these people from dying, starving and dehydrating. That's what really matters.

[MrLetfreedomring]

@ 15:15 'we have been absent for quite sometime on the world stage,uh i dont think your just all of a sudden gonna elect a new president and uh, uh have thousands of things thrown at your feet to bring back, diplomacy takes hard work Jim'......LMAO!

Where has this idiot been? Reagon got elected and within a month the Hostages in Iran were freed! Obama gets elected and within a year Iran is doing War Games and Calling the US wimps! They are right!Obama is the Weakest President Ever!

[bass109]

support local church, god loves you with heaven

[MrLetfreedomring]

Obama is ruining the country, and America knows it...

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama

[ATRUEAMERICAN10000]

"The jobless rate for young black men and women is 30.5 percent. "

I didn't hear him mention that in the press conference. LOL

[iLuvAkeys4ever]

Economists wanted a Trillion dollar stimulus to get things going but the senate/congress/media worked hard to get it down to 700 billion. Economists who know what they are talking about needed that extra 300 billion for a reason but when fools are running things you end up with an economy that is still in a mess, slowly recovering and Obama taking all the blame for something other people are responsible for

[kc7fys]

The reporter asking questions at 14:00 is a jackass. He's intelligent enough--but seems to be trying just to cast aspersions. Is this what people want to do? Chip, why don't you contribute something more positive?

[maskedphrogg]

Yes Chip, god forbid you hold a sitting President accountable for his actions.

[kc7fys]

That wasn't what I objected to, and you know it.

[maskedphrogg]

That's quite an assumption kc7fys.

I haven't the foggiest notion what you are objecting to, I didn't watch the entire clip. Just the first few minutes.

Your comment however revealed your own subjective analysis and that is what I attacked. The content of complaint and disagreement with political speech so often take familiar forms. No doubt my analysis of the situation is correct and your's is most likely sour grapes.

I'm not about to watch the whole thing, but I suppose I can ffwd to 14min in

[kc7fys]

That would be a good idea. Then we would both be talking about the same thing. He's being hectored by the reporter.

[maskedphrogg]

So Gibbs wouldn't answer a few difficult questions.

From this excerpt (~13 to 16 1/2 mins in) I take it the whole Press Brief was an exercise in obfuscation.

[4honors]

i completely agree with maskedphrogg obama is the president and should be allowed to do what he wants. well said maskedphrogg.

[voyeurdug]

The question about information gathering about injuries due to firearms... is bogus... no such language in the Senate bill. Boo-yah! That reporter is a shill for the Right.

[MagikalKraker]

why are the white house videos so grainy?

[MrLetfreedomring]

Because its hard to see through all of Obamas Bullshit!

[webovisionca]

Down in Fraggle Rock. Partying with the Muppets.

[Niklasmannen]

Those who claim they are first are stupid!

[Niklasmannen]

therefore i eliminated the opportunity for these little trolls!
