**Obama Press Conference** 3/24/09 p1

[klg1956]

CNN, MSNBC, CBS, Reporters......"Mr. President, the country is going down the tubes, unemployment is at a 26 year high, your trillion dollar bailout[s] aren't working, and Union jobs are bankrupting us, so here is the hard question: America wants to know, do you wear boxers or briefs?"....LOL

[bluejays0517]

He is talking a lot but saying nothing

[dreamergirlusa]

Yes Roberts, Thanks!

You know the economy is going to get very desperate when Michelle says she is planting a food garden in the White House lawn.

[dreamergirlusa]

I am waiting for Supreme Court Justice Robertson to finish his investigation of obamas country of birth. Evidence has beed presented to show his country of origin of his birth is not the United States.

[jimmy9356]

It's ROBERTS...and keep dreamin. This is a straw man if there ever was one.

[jimmy9356]

By 2012, when President Obama easily wins re-election, all of you pity/petty naysayers are going to be extremely tired of hearing people say "I told you so." Please, all of you irrelevant republicans have screwed things up enough. Just get out of the way. No one cares what you have to say, because you have nothing to say. You are all disingenuous, short sighted Americans. This country OVERWHELMINGLY voted for Obama. Most of the country disagrees with you. Get over it.

[WalliceTheWallBall]

want to start off by saying I am a republican, but I'm not going to insult you or anything, I just want to have a normal conversation. Can u plz tell me exactly how Barack Obama has made America any better since he was put in office? It just seems like he's made our economy even worse through his "stimulus package" which is just promoting more spending to businesses like AIG. I'm not trying to bash Obama, I just want to know what you have to say about this, because i am really not getting it.

[WalliceTheWallBall]

You didn't answer my question. I specifically asked, what OBAMA [durr not bush] has done for this country. If you know that Obama will be elected for a second term, you must have some reasons why. I'd like to know them.

[jimmy9356]

I answered your question. Now please go away.

[6bms8]

Inept! That about sums it up.

[breton1913]

Peter Schiff said something brilliant and so obvious: He quoted Alan Greenspan, who, when talking about the real estate bubble, said, "Everyone was drunk!" Then Peter said, "What he did not say was, 'Who supplied the alcohol?' The Federal Reserve is who supplied the 'alcohol' of easy money."

Contact your representative to urge him/her to support HR 1207, The Federal Reserve Transparency Act. It is gaining momentum and is the first step to abolishing the Fed.

he will put the final nail in America's coffin - very sad to say

[dweber66]

what a talking head, total rhetoric with no substance

[paolo2012]

Looool i'll take obama's frowning game face of concentration over george w bush's blank stare of helplessness and non-comprehension ANY DAY.

Guys, even Michael Jordan had a frown of concentration in the waning minutes of a tight game. what more the face of the president of the most powerful country in the world, addressing questions on the worst,most complicated economic crisis in recent history??

[StoreAdventures]

shut up republicans!!!! you had your chance to ruin the country, and you did a heck of a job brownies... so let someone else get a chance. and trust me, if Obama messes up as bad as bush did, which is impossible to do, i'll be the first to call him out! but for now all you Hannity fans PLEASE dig a hole, crawl in it, and just DIE!!!

[OoopsIvoted4Obama]

Ironic...Bush's fiscal policy screwed up by spending and borrowing too much money and not taxing success enough...how is Obama's triple down on that philosophy "change"?  Where are my Bluedog Democrats at? Don't be afraid of Obama's cult following by ignoring historical facts about how to get out of a recession. Stop reading scripts, get off the campaign trail, and bring the bipartison "change" that you promised. Either that or find that Hannity hole that StoreAdventures found for Republicans

[WalliceTheWallBall]

I agree. You bloody liberal Obama-heads really need to stop blaming bush for EVERYTHING. If you read the bill Obama just passed, you'll notice that he's doing exactly the same thing as bush, but three times worse. You people blame bush because you're too scared to believe that your God, your messiah OBAMA is fucking up, so you blame the FORMER PRESIDENT for things happening RIGHT NOW. News flash ppl, he's not president anymore! It's time for Obama to take responsibility for his country already!!

[jimmy9356]

Of course we all know that Bush did a stellar job and solved all problems within two months. Especially that security notice that we would be attacked.

[WalliceTheWallBall]

no u didn't, and im not going away until you do. The question was WHAT HAS BARACK OBAMA DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY. And why would i want to vote for him next election. I'm pretty sure you didnt answer one bit of that. All you did was talk shit about bush, which is the typical liberal defense!

[RuflessRecords]

there was no "security notice we would be attacked" there was a memo Bush requested called "Bin Laden determined to attack US" which merely detailed all the threats Alqaeda had made against us during the Clinton administration. It contained only one paragraph of 20 dealing with recent info, and nothing actionable. You can read the memo for yourself by keywording CNN Bin Laden Determined to Attack US in Google or your search engine. Nearly every reference in the memo is from the 90's.

If I remember, repubs wanted to give tax holiday, (which could have gone all year for the 800 billion in the bill) but no, the Dems wanted control, they want to be the ones doling out the money to the groups that helped elect them, and also I think Obama is loving this crisis so he can ram a bunch of social engineering-Constitution breaking laws down our throats.

[jerbear54]

When asked why he waited to respond on the AIG bonuses he said " I want to know what I am talking about" I wish someone would ask him if he read the damn 800 page bill he signed? If so, he would have known it was in it, just in case he didn't know Geitner had it put in. As far as Repubs offering a alternative, you won't hear about if if you watch nbc and some others. How much time was given Repubs to read the last bill before it was voted on?

[wlfee1969]

Maybe Obama is starting to realize that his song and dance is wearing off.

Apparently, the real questions bother him, and with good reason.

Before we know it, the banks we depend on will be chinese...

[vanostraniii]

Thanks for getting this up... First!!
