3/26/09: White House Press Briefing

[hotkonda]

Obama smoking pot in high school is really not huge of a crime as it was back then. Besides, shouldn't we be focusing on important issues, rather than some weed? If you wanna punish everyone that is a known weed smoker or former weed smoker, you might as well punish half of americans.

[MarkG45]

Since the press doesn't know how to ask a question, I'll help you guys out: "Obama has admitted to smoking pot in high school, if he was caught and arrested back then, he would have lost his scholarship for college. How many potential presidents have had their lives ruined, with nothing to look forward to other than night manager at wal mart with a criminal record? How many potential president Obamas does the president believe need to go to jail until we win the war on drugs?"

[daderone]

unfortunately for you I teach the courses and subjects you are so ignorant of.

Keep trying to insult me by suggesting that I'm a janitor so you can sleep well at night.

You must have a very low life to try to put down others based on how much they make. I guess I now have the right to put you down. I'll pass and feel sorry for you instead.

[daderone]

I apologize sincerely for not hovering over my computer all day waiting for your recylced response skylight.

Is there a reason you feel the need to repeat everything I say but with some childish passive aggressive attempt to be smug and sound tough?

I actually don't start classes until later in the afternoon ever since I stopped teaching little kids like yourself so I'll stay up. Thanks for the advice though. Have fun playing tough guy on the internet.

[daderone]

what is wrong with you? I already told you I wasn't wasting my time with you or starcatcher unless you pay me for your education.

Don't worry I'll be sure to give our President my proffessional advice and opinions when I feel it is appropriate. Just don't get your panties all in a bunch because its not at your behest. Like you admit, you are willingly ignorant and a waste of time. Glad we agree

[daderone]

one doesn't have to be an authority on political science in order to comprehend that you have no grasp of how government, economics and society functions in a modern world.

It is pretty obvious, but yes I am an authority on political science and economics. Its too bad slow pokes like yourself want to cover your ears and cry in a corner.

You don't have to get all upset and pretend to be offended when you are confused, misinformed and willingly ignorant.

[daderone]

all i heard was what sounded like a small girl crying and blowing their nose into a diaper.

hit me up when you are ready to learn how the world really works. Certainly we'll cover Marx as well so you don't sound like such an ignorant buffoon when speaking about concepts and ideologies you have no grasp of/for.

Until then just write on every video "i'm dumb because I choose to be".

[Tagarashi]

what is that shit on his head?

[mattrmc19]

Obama is a monster. He's Satan.

[daderone]

no i don't see the difference in fact I'll put my money that Bush's family were illegal immigrants from the get go.

[cat22203]

And I hope a serious, influential person is reading all those comments, and they have not put an intern to just "monitor" the comment section and that's it...it would be a hypocricy on Obama's part!

[TacticusPrime]

Seriously it's the young people who are Obama's base. We are not the hidebound generations above us, even Obama's own. We view marijuana as the New Prohibition. Gang control of the substance has killed thousands of people in Mexico and throughout the Americas, even here in the US. It's not a laughing matter. And Obama should be careful about spurning his base.

[mentaluphoria]

America full of retards. Why is it so hard to grasp that it only takes one parent being American, especially if that parent is a woman and has a vagina, and gives birth to a human, that the child is the nationality of that parent regardless of the other parent. Its not uncommon for Americans to give birth in other countries, and still be American. Americans have babies in Europe all the time. So a retard would say..nope that baby is European. I wish retardation could be detected in the womb.

[mattyohe]

"I wish retardation could be detected in the womb."

It can, and is regularly.

[Bubba186]

oh gosh, a dipshit does not like me, I may go cry

[djhuso]

Who killed kennedy?

[cat22203]

...and what is this zit on the Press Secretary's forehead?? No intern in the White House has told him yet about Proactive??

[cat22203]

are you White House people going to start finally an investigation on the Cheney Assassination Ring and persecute him for crimes against the Constitution, against the Nation, and against Humanity? Do you realize that by not persecuting the previous administration for their gross and very obvious crimes, you are making yourselves an accomplice to these crimes and violations of International Law? This is the legacy Pr. Obama will leave for his girls??

[XtaylorX1337]

Obama = tragedy in the making

[Havix]

How is everyone Fucking blow up your buildings and ask how they are ya jackass

[GOTZEUSIPRODUCTIONS]

Lincoln=revolution=obama=2nd revolution. Not American this is global...you guys are something else.

[Dethclops7]

look at the pimple on that pice of shits head. I just spent 48 minutes waiting for that little fuck to pop

[rapiddominace]

By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in migration assistance to the Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza.

The "presidential determination" which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

Looks like Obama's approval rating has now dropped down to 50% already. Not even Bush crashed that fast.

[Landrew120880]

Yikes. That is pretty bad. Where can I find this info? Thanx!

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

Give me a moment to look it up, I first heard about this over the radio.

[cat22203]

Pr. Bush had to crash two towers to prevent his approval ratings from crashing to the center of the Earth! Drop it man, you don't know what you are talking about....

[Bubba186]

Bush ignored the warning about 911 because he had to memorize his stem cell speech, when he was informed he just got a blank look on his face and went back to reading books to kids at his photo op and waited on his handlers to figure out what to do...it's on video

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

Tell me, how do you think you would react if you were president of a country that has never been attacked on the mainland before? President Roosevelt was overwealmed too when he first found out about Pearl Harbor.

Now I am neither a democrat, or a republican, but I am sick of all the idiots out there believing politicians when they use another politician as a scapegoat. The facts stand that Bush was also handed a bad hand of cards from the previous president.

[Bubba186]

I think I would have gotten the hell out of the photo op, and in touch with my people, at a minimum. I would want details.

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

A idiot of a conspiracy theorist telling me I don't know what I'm talking about. I am honestly getting tired of all the idiots out there saying it was staged.

[cat22203]

No, you miss the point like most naive people unfortunately!: You do NOT have to be a conspiracy theorist to believe that they staged it because they may have not staged it after all.

[cat22203]

You do not have to be a conspiracy theorist or rocket scientist to simply understand that it is IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO have signs about what was coming, considering how the American intelligence community operates and the technology they employ, and they simply "allowed" it to happen because obviously it would be a great "crisis" that would open the way for their police state plans and all the Nazzi operations that the neocons had devised long before 9/11!

[cat22203]

The fact that they "knew" and they simply allowed it to happen because 9/11 was very convenient in order to help them force their policies and push the War in Iraq is a crime against the Nation and against the Geneva Conventions and against Humanity,

[cat22203]

and against International Law, so if the Obama Administration does not trial them and allocate social justice in the eyes of the American people and the eyes of the world, then the Obama Administration becomes an accomplice to these crimes, and the people will never forgive and will never forget! I hope Harvard Law taught him that at least....

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

Do you realize how many threats the United States recieves a day? Do you realize how many threats my old highschool recieved a month? If the principal reacted to each and every threat the school recieved, it would of been impossible to ever go back to school.

What you never hear the newsmedia report is all the threats that turn out to be fakes. What do you want the country to be on red alert 24/7? That would be a totalitarian government.

[cat22203]

Loo, 9/11 aside, after 9/11 we have such gross violations of International Law by the "greatest liberal democracy" in the world, that do not allow America to lead! If America wants to lead, it should lead by example! Hence, the Obama Administration should start a serious and transparent investidation, trial and persecute because NO ONE should be above the Constitution (or what it has left of it right now...)

[cat22203]

America cannot send Clinton out in the world demanding the rest of the world to condemn the leaders and their actions of the rogue states, and then allow those who made America a "rogue state" for 8 years to walk away just like that with billions in their pockets from the War in Iraq (see Halibarton and the like)!

[cat22203]

All the major heads of the previous administration have made billions from the War in Iraq (research about their stocks and involvement in all those companies that entered Iraq after the war). If America wants to transform NATO into a "League of Democracies," it should start by restoring the basic tenerts of Democracy and Social Justice at HOME first!

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

I both agree and disagree with you on the last part. Laws were broken, thing is pretty much everyone breaks the law.

Not everyone should be prosecuted, it depends on if in the end that prosecution will lead to a greater good. Everyday underage teens are having sex. The law says those teens are all sexual preditors. But imagine what would happen if every teen who had sex as a teen was made a sexual preditor.

To be continued

[cat22203]

I am not talking about domestic law here. My comments specifically refer to International law, foreign policy and the Bush-Cheney gang. And that is why I spoke about a "transparent" investigation and trial of the true culprits.

As for not allowing the government to grow anymore, i agree with you! But if you and others wanted that, then why did you vote for Obama? I am just wondering....People had a choice: Ron Paul, so where is Dr. Paul now??

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

A transparent investigation would require the government to reveal a hell of alot of top secret information, and trust me they would never do that. Any investigation they would do would simply be a lie and a coverup.

Who says I voted for Obama?

[cat22203]

Trust me! If they want to investigate and truly persecute the traitors of the Nation and of the Constitution, they are capable enough and intelligent enough to find a way to do it! There is no "I cannot," there is ONLY "I do not want to do it!"

[cat22203]

President Obama: the people of America and of the World are watching (and now with the rise of the Civil Society they are getting informed and educated in an unprecendented way), and they are waiting....

As soon as you, WH people, finish with restoring global economy (which will take thousands of years, let's be realistic, ok?), you should start some serious investigations and restore America's reputation in the world!

I am international BTW, but I am sure you know that already....lol

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

I'm not saying they arn't capable, I'm saying they arn't willing. Like I said, to do an investiagtion of the variety you speak of it would require them to give up quite a few of their precious government secrets.

[conoba]

You are either a noisy tinfoil hat wearing man or an internet troll that just wants attention.

Go away.

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

No I am somone who understands human reasoning, If you have a big secret you don't give it up. Why do you think KFC keeps their special recipie sooscret, you can count the number of people who know it on one hand?

It seems to me that you're the one who is the troll since you posted a comment meant to do nothing more than insult myself, while I posted a series of comments in a legitimate debate with another poster.

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

Unfortunately with all the secret, top secret, and confidential info out there we don't know the full story. It is through that information that we are slaves to the government that should be a slave to us. So we are forced to trust the government and let it manage itself. For all we know, the democrats and republicans are both in on it. The only thing we can do to stop such a thing from happening is to prevent the powers of the government from growing.

[stonesour025]

Gibbs isn't really a good public speaker.

[Nihawmah]

as long as you get the point across

[daderone]

i like the old format for the embedding the wider screen and higher quality videos were nice.

[daderone]

where is the transparency? umm how about posting the entire press conference online as public domain. Did Bush do that? Just a question. I don't remember him doing that.

[starcatcher7777]

dad:

WOW now that was really covert! DUGH a press conference on line .. well that does set the bench! HEY .. WHERE IS OBAMA'S NON PHOTO SHOPPED BIRTH CERTIFICATE ? .. how about his college records ? How about his Indonesian Passport!

[TheRagingCelt]

How about you stop shopping conspiracy theories and do something constructive with your time?

[starcatcher7777]

TheWimperingIrishpunt!

Just show the real deal!

[daderone]

you didn't really answer the question now did u? I assume Obama's documents of identification are in the White House because thats where most Presidents keep their documents.

I just don't remember Bush offering such openess.

[starcatcher7777]

dad:

You ASSume ? Well you are wrong ! There is no document in the White House and Obama has had them sealed! Sure Bush did!

[daderone]

well that sucks for lunatics like yourself starcatcher i guess you'll be forced to walk the world in your tin foil suit cursing the day you were born.

[starcatcher7777]

daderone:

Pay attention! Did you get your Obama Blow job on your tires yet?

After recognition of the famine situation in Ukraine even with poor harvests, the Soviet government in Moscow continued to export grain rather than retain its crop to feed the people,[54]. In 193031 there had been 5,832,000 tons[vague] of grains exported In 193132, grain exports 4,786,000 tons. In 193233, grain exports were 1,607,000 tons and in 193334, further ANOTHER 1,441,000 tons.[55]

[daderone]

yawn i've been properly inflating my tires for years, its probably because I have a brain.

[starcatcher7777]

daderone:

WOW you have a brain?

Then it should be easy for you to tell me where shit like Obama's Socialism- Communism has ever worked!

[daderone]

what i'll tell you is that I see you hop video to video talking about things that are obviously over your head. Such as politics.

I doubt you make enough money to pay me to educate you on all the issues and complexities you are either ignorant of or ill informed on (willingly or not).

Consider me a capitalist, but if I'm gonna teach you political science, you are paying me and I'll make sure you shut up and learn real well.

What do you say? hows $800. I'll teach you 101 econ. and more

[justme252009]

I love the President ^^

[starcatcher7777]

Hey where is the Transparency? Hey Obama you want to target private civilians ! WHERE IS YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE ?

WATCH OUT US MILITARY .. Obama will shoot you in the back!

[Bubba186]

where is YOUR birth certificate? where is Bush's? where are Bush's military records?

[starcatcher7777]

Bubba:

Easy not a problem and I sure would not spend 3 Million Dollars to hide it ! Bush's Military records were and are all Public:

Oh and btw I am not running for President but I am more qualified to be in the White House than Obama! I never had a foreign passport !

[Bubba186]

actually Bush's records have huge gaps and questions were never answered about where he actually was since he did not bother showing up for duty.

[starcatcher7777]

Bubba:

Really. you mean like where he was born and other citizenships ? Tell me how Obama and his Geechee wife lost their license to practice Law !

[rubenu07]

before with Iraq we are spending 10 million dollars a month....but now with afghanistan how much more is spending with the war?

[CMLovejoy]

Does president Obama have a backup plan if the bailout doesn't rescue the economy.

Why hasn't President Obama ended the tax cuts that send jobs overseas?

What does President Obama say about the criticism from foriegn nations.

[CMLovejoy]

Does president Obama have a backup plan if the bailout doesn't rescue the economy.

Why hasn't President Obama ended the tax cuts that send jobs overseas?

What does President Obama say about the criticism from foreign nations that the president is spending to much money.

[hersheyam]

Mr. President, you are the bomb!
