4/20/09: White House Press Briefing

[educateyourself2000]

Maybe there should be tougher guide lines inorder to run for President. Like a minimum of 5 years experience in Government, A degree in one or more of the following (Economics, Buisiness Admin., Criminal Justice, Accounting, ect.) show the hand typed B.C. if born before laser printers were developed, must do extensive background checks of potential "Cabinet" appointees, not allowed to pass a spending bill unless voted on by the US citizens.

[educateyourself2000]

This guy is fun to watch, especially when he has to do damage control. He stutters when he has to lie or cover his employers ass. "Faux"bama has added several trillion dollars to our debt, mostly earmarks to his friends and supporters. Places like John Murthas "airport to nowhere", is funded by you and me at a cost of 200 million dollars, but its o.k. by Democrat standards because he is a "Faux"bama supporter. This guy talks about cuts, yet, the earmarks remain in the stimulus. Sucks!

[valtis23]

hey al of you assholes who blame obama for our problems are ignorent fools who are just pissed because mccain lost badly and yur all just racsists

[fatsack97]

Dear White House did the bill HR669 pass?Please tell me i love animals! copyandpast this on every WhiteHouse video to see if the bill hr669

[jpower31]

[beeohhski]

well apparently one can run the country better than a white guy and not torture people andthe deficit has reduced 100billion dollars in 3 months soooooo thats not alot compared to 27 trillion but its a quick drop in the bucket so stop being ignorant and let the man work its racist assholes like you that make america bad

[killergames187]

Why is not one of the news people talking about this!Calling on Americans to volunteer, President Obama signed a $5.7 billion national service bill Tuesday that triples the size of the AmeriCorps service program over the next eight years!??????????

[zetterling1]

Israel is a holy land that everyone worships. It needs to be open for peaceful worship to everyone. Until then, everyone who is religious looks like giant hypocrites. I think when you pray to a place that is loaded with US weapons it causes subtle behavioral changes that will inevitably incite opposition. You could blame so many things for WWII including the Treaty of Versailles. In a country that went from such pride to such oppression terrorism is inevitable.

[cat22203]

Mr. President, don't you think that Jane Harman should be investigated further and stand trial for treason? Didn't they impeach Blackojevich for the same thing: negotiating a seat? In the case of Harman is even worse because she alligned with a foreign lobby (AIPAC) to manipulate the American politics and publics. She should resign ASAP! Shame on her!

[lildwayne21]

MAKE ME YOU PISSANT!!!!

[chicago6584]

If you feel Barack Obama is "exactly what America needs" in these times, you are almost as economically illiterate as he is. We had no other choice. The moment only McCain and Obama began receiving all of the media coverage is the moment this country became truly fucked. I do not intend to anger anyone nor spread hate. I just feel that there were better suited people among us to better suit the post of U.S. President.

[bootpdx]

Memo to Mr. Gibbs - at some point you are going to have to ask these "journalists" why they didn't ask these questions in the past. Chip asking about 100 million being a drop in the bucket? where was he for the last 8 years. Or you can just respond with "Well, Chip, I think when it comes to righting some of the wrongs of the past - I think most Americans are focused not on the failures of this administration, but the failure of their press to hold the previous administration's feet to the fire.

[bootpdx]

This press core sucks! They ask questions as if they are asking them on the behalf of Obama's supporters. They hide behind the huge majority of Americans who rallied for change. Change is occurring - it's just too bad the press chooses not to cover it.

[bootpdx]

8 billion in the context of a appropriations bill is small. TAPPER - IT'S CALLED "CONTEXT", look it up

[bootpdx]

Jennifer - it's called "babysteps" you have to start somewhere

[lildwayne21]

[cat22203]

And WH people: are you going to disclose finally or what? The UFO story runs in the media all day today. George Noory is my hero and the whole movement is asking for disclosure: Was or Was it not a Grey in the WH window glass behind G.W. Bush in this notorious press breifing? (youtube it if you haven't seen it)

[cat22203]

I mean, this poor guy, S. Libby had to pay for Cheney's violations of law, is this fair? Cheney should be in his place!

[cat22203]

AMEN! Finally they are starting some investigations, but I and many many others would like to see officials in front of a judge and not all this to be done just for the show....And glad to see that the Press Secretary does not have any huge zit on his forehead, hope those interns informed him about Proactive....

[nohealthcare62]

Why are You Guy's Ignoring HR676 Universal Health Care ? Why do you LET 500 American DIE everyday ??? And another One Million who do have health care will also DIE because the Insurance co.'s tell the Doctors Who Lives and Who Dies ..I was one of Those people 2 xs !!!And Dept. of Human Services tells me now in 2 States to have a baby to QUALIFY for State Help ! I am a Dead Woman @ 45 HELP ME AMERICAN and all my Friends who DIE for What ????

[UltraBibendum]

420 press conferences every day w/ Robert L. Gibbs

[freedom8758]

happy 420 huh white house smoke 1 jah bless

[justme252009]

love it

[the43k]

Questioning authority is a good thing. However, it seems to me that the WH press has grown a set of balls and questions everything the Obama administration does, again, no problem. My question is.. where the hell were they for 8 years when our constitution was being shredded. Now they're going to act tuff with a admin who seems far more likely to adhere to the rules of the world. Its easy to act tuff with a admin who plays fair, we needed this when all hell was breaking loose.

[bootpdx]

They were toeing the line. Their companies were making billions in Iraq - they were happy. Now their companies' no bid contracts are under fire and coming to an end in Iraq. Therefore, go after the guy threatening to end the war.

[teemuruskeepaa]

Huh, this man is too rigid, unreflesive for the job. He is one of the few subnormal persons in the Obama admin. Even if in politics, the persons in power are usually subnormal, Obama should remedy this situation.

[dejahthoris]

Thanks for posting, I always like to see these Press Conferences. God Bless the USA and our President.

[zetterling1]

I worry if Rahm Emanuel has influence on how the US acts with Israel. I'm not religious or racist by any means but I was born in the 80's. The NJDC was a major contributor to helping Obama get elected. On their short list of things they support is a pro-Israel stance.

While Amhadinejad isn't a genius, his comments were true and he was amicable. More importantly he denounced capitalism and communism. A state designated to a particular religion is not right. Get rid of nukes in Israel.

[nohealthcare62]

The Tide is changing in the USA .I am Catholic and I do NOT Pray for Israel ! My eye's were OPENED UP WIDE during the last administration , I pray for the Poor Oppressed Murdered Plaestinians ! WWJD?He wouldnt take away homes and put women and children into Prison for Protesting they were homeless In the USA we have genocied everyday 500 Citizens Die from having no Health Care !HR676 Now ! Dont let another innocent American die for Greed ! GENOCIED !

[SapientiaEtFortuna]

Hey Mike Kelleher,

Tell you boss that LEGAL PLUNDER does not make for a good economy. Thanks buddy!

[enuvune]

there was a small part of me that thought weed might finally get legalized on 4/20.

[lildwayne21]

I really like the fact that he posts his press conferences everyday. It shows you his administration has nothing to hide.

[scorpi2000]

PRESIDENT OBAMA is definitely the right man to be president at this time in American history

[mattyohe]

Ha. Watch from 17:37 .... whomever is running the graphics on the video feed evidently thought Gibbs was done at 18:20 .

[Skurgefaust]
