that he has but mere feet of clay. How disappointing that must be to the masses. |
|
|
Take a chill pill, Barry. It's a darn good question and you should answer it! |
|
for the question that was asked.
"We will be having a press conference at which time you can feel free to [ask] questions."
Translation: I need some time to formulate a "BS" answer. |
|
"Translation: I need some time to formulate a "BS" answer."
Or, I need some BS to form a BS answer and I'm not quick enough on my feet to do it myself!
Or, I need some BS to form a BS answer and The One is preoccupied in the Oval Office in his shirtsleeves right now.
And it's only day two. |

the hand on the shoulder. one more thing that really p*ss*s me off.
I'm surprised even one of them had the gonads to ask anything.
I also heard his face appeared on a tortilla and is for sale on ebay.

The only reason Oblowma could and would not answer any questions put forth to him is he didn't have a bunch of speech-writers there holding his hand. He is merely a shell of consistent lies and I hope the next couple of months he sinks his own ship with his rhetorical answers.
He does not have the experience, knowledge, or moral foundations to be in the White House, and I do not wish any harm against him, however; I do believe he will reap what he sows! I am sure there are people out there that wish ill on Oblowma, but I do not because even though he lied to get in the office, he is still a human being.
With that said, I hope he gets what he deserves for lying his way into D.C. |
|
I am wondering if ol Barack is going to hire the bloggers at DailyKos.com to start writing his speeches for him. With the extreme liberal foundation that the people at Kos have, I wonder if Barack has contacted them or did they call to get jobs from Barry yet.
It is sickening to me that he was supported by extremists of all kinds, and yet he still has not spoken against any of them!! Get ready for the 2012 Profecies to come true, because after Obama is done America will not be free any longer. |
|
|
Can't he just eat his waffle? |
|
|
Obama shows once again what an intellectual and moral coward he is. |
|
|
If there is no teleprompter, don't ask questions. ;-) |
|
|
I listened to Mr. Obama during his signing of the executive orders today. As he finished signing one order, he sounded like a high school drop out. "Ok, uh, hang on here, we have a couple more..." Rather than use a vocabulary, he sounded like an idiot. How can the Bush-haters that thought 43 was so stupid, think Obama is so brilliant. THEY DON'T!!! They only like him because he helps them exploit the racial battle to their favor, and because he will sign anything Pelosi, Frank, Dodd, Reid will put in front of him. Empty suit... hell yes! |
|
I thought that the black man no longer had to kiss the white mans @$$?
He was brown-nosing the reporters? STILL?
What gives? |
|
|
dont worry barry the press will go easy on you!most of the press is liberal,they love you. next time make it clear your just there to vist!barb walters will set them all straight!the shame of it is they never gave president bush any slack! |
|
|
I must agree that the question from Jonathan Martin was poor timing, but Obama is very thin-skinned and easily rattled. He could have laughed it off and taken a different tone. Clearly, he was aggravated with the question. If the press treats him half as bad as they treated Bush, then Obama will have to develop a tougher backbone very soon ! |
|
Hey Mr.Prez, go get your balls out of Michelle's purse, you are going to need them for the next 4 years.
Mr. Prez, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK reporters get paid to do? Ask Questions! If you can't take the heat, stay out of the press room. Geeesh, I bet those guys youre getting ready to let out of Gitmo are laughing it up and can't wait to get out and bomb some more american stuff...they surely aren't concerned about Mr. Prez doing anything about it... |
|
|
But I am reminded of a big dog pi$$ing on the ground to mark his territory. What better way to get things started. |
|
He better get used to it. It comes with the job. You'd think he would've known that by now.
This may well lead to his undoing. It's only day 1 and he already "can't stand the heat!?" Not a good sign.
But then, look at the experience he's had... almost none. And I'm talking about experience in answering tough questions or being faced with anything other than butt-kissing media.
|
|
|
Not the first time this happened. Basically he wants us to know that he doesn't have a position on anything unless he talks to his advisors/cabinet because his 3 years in the Senate was enough to learn about any issue. |
|
|
"his 3 years in the Senate WASN'T enough to learn about any issue." |
|
it just proves he's about as smart and quick on the draw as his mind numbed robotic voters.
He's in waaaay over his head and I predict we will see the predictable aging process begin years earlier than previously elected Presidents.
And if he's this touchy just two days on the job,
I wonder if the nerves will last through his term before the breakdown occurs. It's pretty tough for a fraud to continue his pretense, lyin' isnt that easy, when one's whole life is a lie. |
|
that BO never looks at the camera when speaking on TV. Maybe he has and I missed it.
Head always moving side to side. Always thought when you are sincere you look people in the eyes.
Maybe he should move the prompter to at least give the impression that he knows someone out there is listening? uhhhhhhhhhh..
(of course that's just my take on it)
|
|
the writer of the politco article-one jonathan martin- is nortoriously anti-obama and covered the mcccain campaign as an imbed for politico where he would write "objective" things suchs as "McCain just can't seem to catch a break"-he fine reaction to the race crime hoax perpetrated by a silly partisan right winger.
more imporatantly what this really shows is Obama has an openess and willinging to engage everybody-there is a proper time for questions as mr. martin knows but of course his fear of being shut out at the press conferences are not unsubstantiated and perhaps if her had simply waited he would get an answer to his question.
I doubt he will now because of his own hubris.
And of course when was the last time you heard of Bush visiting the press corp in an informal fashion? what? NEVER? Well that pretty much explains the rash of venom spilled by many of the posters above and the writer of this particular blog post. |
|
|
... She's finding Christmas presents. |
|
It's because there is no teleprompter in front of him. Take away the teleprompters and we start getting the um's, er's and what ever else pauses he can come up with.
Like Scarlet said, he can read but that's about all he can do. |
|
|
Too bad for Jonathan Martin. He will never get called on for questions. EVER. This is how the libs roll. |
|
|
yet another little taste of that "transparency in government" Obama was talking about... |
|
So Barry should get a pass?
Sorry, I'm not buying it.
After 8 years of an admittedly leftward leaning press (admitting that only AFTER the election) asking Bush stupid questions, then parsing every word, then creating false premises based on those comments, I for one think that the one and only annointed Sheriff Bart should be grilled mercilessly.
He presented himself as the man with the answers...so he should answer.......
And he should seriously learn, because after stealing $850B of the taxpayers money......and presenting that as THE SOLUTION he WILL be asked questions that make Martins look like a simple "white or wheat" inquiry....... |
|
So Frank, you are saying, that for over two years, the MSM has given Obambi a free ride, done everything they can to assist in getting him elected, and now, they are not allowed to ask questions? And BTW, sir, we Americans are allowed to discuss our President, whether you liberals like it or not...after all, we learned how you treat a President from your liberal methods for the past eight years!!!
Sir, you are a dope. Mr. Bush, never allowed informality because, MSM was bent on making sure everything he said, did, thought, breathed, or even glimpsed was portrayed as negative....This visit was anything but a beer and pizza party, and you know it..he was trying to use the MSM again to sidle up to all of them...a pure manipulation again, and guess what he had no script!!!! |

We all know their faults: arrogance, condescension, elitism, rudeness, vacuity, snobbishness and cultural vulgarity.
Amother of their ugly attributes is a searing investment in revenge when they feel they've been used. They have this remarkable belief in their own nobility - drinking down the myths of their profession, such as feeling themselves each personally inbued with the genius and moral clarity of Edward R. Murrow, whose name they invoke whenever they remind us of their indispensibility.
The entire press corps pimped Obama shamelessly to America this last election, going all out in a way not seen since the ugliest days of Hearst-style yellow journalism; completely overtaken with the romantic notion of the first Negro president. There is now the beginning of worry that the fairy tale they constructed to achieve his election might already be unraveling. You saw it just after the end of the inaugural speech - the hint of disquiet over the rather mediocre quality of what they guaranteed us would be the speech of the millenium.
Now comes their collective shock at discovering Obama's arrogance and his disdain of them; something the rest of us saw all during the election season but which they themselves refused to see lest is spoil the narrative. Mr. Obama best mind his p's and q's for the American press has laid its whole stake on him being what they told us he was. They will turn on him, as mindlessly and methodically as a swarm of hagfish on a whale corpse. |
|
Eloquence?
Heres the difference:
Its extremely easy to talk about something that you believe in.
BUT
It takes countless pauses...uhh...umm...uhh..to speak politically so that you don't step on your own d*ck.
Which is your beloved "o"??
PS....Easy Barry answer to Martin.
"I'll be happy to answer that question for you at the next press conference".......then Barry could have at least bought himself some time to figure out how to reply...... |
|
|
BHO showed his true character again and again during the campaign-- and still, the sheeple fawned over him, cheered him on, and elected him. We can only "hope" that the wool will soon be pulled back from their eyes, and they'll begin to recognize the danger this man poses to the American democratic tradition. |
|
Reporters in the WH press corps room are only there for 1 reason: to ask questions. They are not there to "make friends" with the man they are SUPPOSED to be holding accountable to the people. In fact, any overtures to do so should be construed as a conflict of interest, if done by a reporter; or as an attempted social bribe, if done by ANY politician.
Obama apparantly made his "surprise" visit in an attempt to manipulate the press, plain and simple. |
|
before I write on you, about how you think my family is your punishment to me, and expect me to denounce them, and not all "my" political family, I've denounced along your acorn (I'm on your oppositors list for years), dade authorities (EXPL: GRAL ATTN c. fernandez rondell (dade still "reffering me as "crazy" Rush).
Only authorities are the 1st responsible for the unfamous decades systematic 3rd world corruption on So. Fla, she still asking what terror logistics with ana montes?, castro spies on the Southern Command, carlos alvarez?, the arrested network builder castro agentfor 30 years networks AS "PSYCOLOGIST OF DADE POLICE.
That explains also THE MENTALITY MADE ON CASTROLAND OF ANY AUTHORITY(and mayors).
I'm tired of e-battles on townhall and urban cons., pluss, my comments are being erased, and lib bloggers fill out boring lib propaganda, to the conservative markets.
About your succeed, Mr. President BHO, I remmeber you bunch, what I wrote about tyour self declarations on unilateral disarment of America, under the public megaglobal propaganda of terror states like the underebuilt deathstar u$$r’u$ (still REinvading countries, warfleets on Panama canal, cuba, venezuela during US election)... |
|
|
Obama should stop nominating candidates that evade taxes, pardon terrorists, collect questionable off-shore monies through their husbands philanthropical institutions, make sweeping proclamations about how ethical/transparent/anti-lobbyist his admin is going to be and then nominate a lobbyist... if he does not want the tuff questions? |
|
HOW MANY MEGASCANDALS YOU HAVE ALREADY?, AND TAKING OFF YOUR TERROR HELP MASC AT ONCE?, YOUR TERRORISTS ARE BEING TREATED BETTER THAN ME,
bho: USE YOUR COMUNIST BRAIN AT LIST ONE TIME, USA WILL PUNISH YOU OR ANYBODY WHO DARES HELP TERROR, CUT THEIR OIL POTENTIAL BEFORE IRAN, VENEZUELA, RUSIA (you erased that comment, a good one: COMPETE WITH THE ENEMY ON THEIR POWER "OIL" SOURCES, BE LOVED BY THE WORLD,
DID YOU UNDERSTAND?, OR NEED ME TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU EVERYDAY, ERASE THIS WON"T CHANGE YOUR SELF-MADE IMAGE.
no starwars, same 90’s proterror and anti-ARMY, Iran on nukes, Iraq, coyotes on America, the logistics pursuing me and my family, discrimination, homeless, back injuries, cold…And on the economy?, any single partner of you, you haven’t bring any Sara Palin to your task force, just keep your acorns growing and growing (I’ll blow them, as your machines gain and again, from the past any time)
take your agents away from me, you'll learn to take your place on history, you already spoke on your politics, and already showed your intations on Gitmo, AT ONCE, thanks God I always say, for any terror helper shows how similar mentality terror helpers become with the same terror minds.
But, the difference: well feeded, clothed and articulated terror he;pers unfortunately don't dare to blow theirselves, only the suicider terrorist fisical insurgents, or uniformed terror states "soldiers".

Welcome to the big leagues -- ROOKIE! |
|
How dare you question "the One" without my teleprompter or speechwriters present.
How dare you! |
|
The whpc tipped their hand somewhat by showing BO who has the nerve to ask such questions. He now knows who not to call on when the cameras are rolling.
|
|
Scarlett.
It is the mindset of a Liberal.
You Libs, as well as Obama himself, need to realize that he is not a King; he is not royalty with his subjects having to bow and kneel before him, serving him in his every need. NO, Scarlett, he is not a King, he is only a man, one simple man who was elected to "SERVE" the people of the United States Of America.
As an elected official, and a 'servant of the people' he and his worshippers all need to understand that when a President goes down into the Press room, he should expect that he will be asked questions. What makes you, OR Obama think he should be able to dodge questions by the reporters? It's your ignorance, and his ego, Scarlett. Problem is, he doesn't know half as much as he and the Media so easily led you left loons to believe. You're going to find that out sooner, rather than later, though.
Your comment about 'some punk journalist who suddenly found his spine about three months too late' shows that you're going to defend him against anyone and anything simply because you think he is something he is not. And he's going to prove he is not all he was cracked up to be several times each week until his first term is finally up, and he thankfully loses the next election to a Conservative who doesn't consider himself to be a King, but rather a simple man who wants to help his country by becoming a 'simple servant of his people'. |
|
I'm sure Obama's camp is making their
good guy list and bad guy list today
and checking it twice
The Press will all get in line like good
ducks and follow |
|
So much for "transparency."
|
|
If anyone doesn't recognize a blatant intimidation tactic on Obama's hand on the shoulder and close proximity to the object of his dissatisfaction, they don;t know Chicago or inner city mannerisms.
I can guarantee the reporter recognized it. |
|
|
The press cannot help itself. They are like a pack of hungry hyenas and a politician who reacts in anger is a wounded impala. |
|
Obama reminds me of Chance the Gardner but without the grace, charm, innocence and pathos.
Chance's TV-informed utterances are mistaken for profundity.
Obama's teleprompter-informed eloquence is taken for profundity.
Chance never thought of himself as anything but a simple gardner who lived a sheltered life in the home of his employer. Upon the death of his employer, Chance was thrust out on his own to face the real world and he clung to his TV remote. Pathos.
Obama sees himself as the center of the universe. Upon his election to POTUS, Obama was thrust out on his own to face the real world and he clings to his tele-prompter. Pitiful.
We care about Chance the Gardner is a way that we can never care about Chance the President. |
|
The press never ever asked the chosen one a hard question in the whole campaign so why would he expect anything but an ole fashion luv fest when he visited his devout worshippers in the press room?
Just a couple of examples of questions that any reporter worthy of the name would have put to Obama.
You spent over twenty years as a disciple of Rev Wright, who you describe as your mentor and were a member of his church whose primary article of faith describes America as a place where blacks are captives in a society designed to kill and or imprison them. Is this your personal position on American society and if it is not why would you lend your support and expose your wife and children to such obvious racial bigotry/hatred?
Your seven figure earmark for your wife's employer followed by a six figure raise for your wife by said employer would seem to some to be a quid pro quo of the first order. What can you say to Americans who feel that this is a prime example of a politican lining his own pockets at the taxpayer's expense?
Any reporter that asked anything close to the above not only never be let anywhere near the messiah again and might also have to fear for his personal safety! When you mess with a libs politics you are on their most sacred turf, their most deep-felt religion!
|
|
How dare the Press treat 0bama as they did President Bush!!
The 0 is all style and no substance. Get used to it. |
|
|
...if you mess with the emperor's groove. |
|
|
why is townhall not in arizona, interviewing prospective candidates to run against mccain and why is townhall not in maine helping us to rid ourselves of the two rinos in that state |
|
The Eleventh Commandment is "Thou shalt not question the Glorious Leader". Too bad he didn't get the memo. He will never get to ask a question of the Glorious Leader now.
BTW Scarlett, that was a perfectly legitimate question. Why is the Glorious Leader so afraid of answering a question that requires him to state a position on something? Don't bother, I know what his problem is. He has no position until George Soros gives it to him. |
|
with tales of an elite class of doe eyed followers and supporters instrumental in the installment of a new regime.
Then came the purges. Even the most ardent of followers who's only crime was simply possessing a means to hurt the new Emperor were dealt with either by banishment, prison or firing squad.
They were led to their fate still professing genuine, heart felt allegiance to their new God, a God they themselves had toiled for, and to their last breath never understood what was happening around them. Nor their part in their own demise.
They just stood there with a WTF look on their faces until the order to fire was given. |
|
|
During the divine O's campaign he banned reporters who were too inquisitive or who had the temerity to ask tough questions! Bet you that reporter will NEVER be asked to a White House press session. |
|
You guys are hitting the nail on the head. The worst course one can take is to underestimate their adversary.
I believe BHO knew exactly what he was doing when he visited the WHPR and what message he wanted to send. Especially with the hand on the shoulder touch. "Wow. youse guys gotta' nice lil' room set up here. I would hate to see anythin' bad happen' to it" |
|
You mean the lovefest is over? Did someone fail to inform the Lame Stream Media (LSM)? Did the LSM not get the memo?
Oh, for shame, for shame! |
|
|
This election is over and now is not the time for gotcha! President Obama better get use to questions and that as the American people would actually like to have an answer,not platitudes.I pray that his admistration works,because if it doesn't just the American people will be hurt. The politicans are always protected,congress needs to wake up and start doing actual business for all the people and not just for their own best interest. Look what happen to Japan that tried to buy their way out of trouble, it didn't work for them any better than it did for the great depression. Further study of that shows that it actually prolonged the problem. Government is the problem,back off and let the people who actually want to work do their job,lets drill here at home so we don't have to send money else where.That would actually make a lot of jobs that wouldn't have to be subdized by the federal government,which in reality is the tax paying people.Questions will be asked and answers will be expected. |
|
thought it would be a year or two before his TRUE COLORS were exposed and the media finally started to do their job and actually ask this man tough questions.
This is heartening -- his unraveling might happen a lot sooner than hoped! |
|
will unravel like a cheap Chinese sweater from Wal Mart!....
I wish him nothing but failure! |
|
Well after only two days in office MUSSobama has signed into law a whopping tax increase; millions and millions of dollars to fund abortions all over the world, not just here in the states! And guess what? We taxpayers get to pay for it, whether or not we agree with it. Think you're not living in a communist country? Get your head out of your a$$ and see the daylight and the commie puppet at work already, people!
And we haven't begun to see the last of his tax increases, so be prepared to dig deeper and deeper as he continues his rampage against taxpayers, because he has only just begun. Yep, you people just elected a man who fully intends to take everything you have! His "spread the wealth agenda has begun," and it's as Communist as it gets!
Isn't your Messiah, Obama a nice guy? Arent you glad you voted for him? You WON'T be for long, guaranteed. |
|
" MUSSobama has signed into law a whopping tax increase;"
I don't believe that Obama has yet signed ANY bills, let alone a tax increase. What are you referring to? |
|
|
he signed a bill for millions of dollars to be used for abortions. What would you call that? since we taxpayers will be footing that bill? Look it up. |
|
"on his second day in office he signed a bill for millions of dollars to be used for abortions."
No, he didn't. Do you even know what a "bill" IS? |
|
Wonna may not know the difference between an EO and a bill but she does know when her tax dollars are going out of the country to fund abortions.
And we all know how to spot an idiot like you who skirts the issue with a straw dog. |
|
"And we all know how to spot an idiot like you who skirts the issue with a straw dog."
Ronna said: "MUSSobama has signed into law a whopping tax increase." What part of that is true? |
|
Since you are still playing 'straw dog' and have moved to another issue not related to my post without acknowledgement, let me suggest that you are still an idiot.
But keep trying, practice makes perfect!!
Oh and before you start I know... I know.....
Wonna might have gotten the spending bill details wrong but she is smart enough to know a tax and spend liberal.
You would do well to be half as smart as her. |
|
"Wonna might have gotten the spending bill details wrong"
No, there's no spending bill at all. That's a bit different from getting details wrong. |
|
You are correct. There is not one now. We all know it's coming. Deny that and deny you are breathing.
You are breathing aren't you munck?
Munck? |
|
"We all know it's coming. Deny that and deny you are breathing."
Brilliant insight on your part. The Congress passes spending bills every year; it's how the government is allowed to spend money. |
|
|
a huge tax increase of multi-millions to fund abortions worldwide. I erred, Munck. Sue me. Our tax money is going worldwide to pay for abortions, and that's my main concern. |
|
Obama Rescinds Mexico City Policy
It didn't take long for President Obama to deliver the abortion lobby its first major victory.
Obama overturned a longstanding policy that prohibited tax dollars from being used to fund abortion in foreign countries on his third day as president and a day after thousands of pro-life activists left Washington.
The "Mexico City policy" was originally instituted by Republican President Ronald Reagan.until Democratic President Bill Clinton repealed and Republican President George W. Bush reinstated it in 2001.
Obama nixed it by way of an executive order on Friday, hours after pro-life activists ended their annual March for Life protest on Capitol grounds.
Liberals referred this the "Global Gag rule." Immediately after the executive order was announced, feminists groups like NARAL Pro-Choice America and the Feminist Majority mailed out statements to their supporters, urging them to thank Obama.
|
|
"Excuse me, he signed into law a huge tax increase of multi-millions"
He signed an Executive Order, not a bill. It's not a law, it's a directive to the people in the Executive Branch who work for him. There were no tax increases involved.
You need to learn some civics. And try to control your hysteria.
Elections matter. |

Obama signs order to export 'torture'
Commits American millions to support of abortion industry
http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=86943
|
|
"Obama signs order to export 'torture'"
Abortion is neither torture nor murder; a fetus is not a human being.
You actually cite the World Nut Daily as a credible source? |
|
"Abortion is neither torture nor murder; a fetus is not a human being."
A generally accepted medical definition:
Fetus: The unborn offspring from the end of the 8th week after conception (when the major structures have formed) until birth. Up until the eighth week, the developing offspring is called an embryo.
The embryo is a human embryo.
The developing offspring is a human.
An unborn offspring is a human.
In partial birth abortion, the abortionist, guided by ultrasound, inserts a forceps into the womb and grasps the leg of the baby.
The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal and the entire body of the baby, except for the head, is delivered.
The abortionist jams a scissors into the base of the baby's skull. The scissors are opened, enlarging the hole.
The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted and the brain is sucked out causing the skull to collapse.
The baby is dead and removed. Murdered.
There is at least one documented case when the baby was not yet dead but removed and placed in a nearby room to die. That is both torture and murder.
|
|
"The embryo is a human embryo."
Your appendix is a human appendix. That doesn't mean it's murder to remove it. Neither a fetus nor an embryo is a human being, in law and in fact. |
|
|
Your appendix doesn't have a unique set of chromosomes different from yours, and will NEVER be anything more than your appendix. Removing your appendix will no tmurder an individual being. |
|
" Neither a fetus nor an embryo is a human being, in law and in fact."
After analyzing the numerous posts of Mr. Munck in Townhall, one can deduce that he is insightful and highly intelligent. He has a thoughtful answer or an interesting opinion on every subject and his latest post intrigues me. It is one of the central debates on the abortion issue and I would be most appreciative to know Mr. Munck perspective on the matter.
Mr. Bob Munck in your humble opinion, given the opportunity, when DOES a human embryo or a human fetus BECOME a human BEING ? |
|
"when DOES a human embryo or a human fetus BECOME a human BEING ?"
At birth or when the mother says it does, whichever comes first. |
|
