Obama Press Conference - Open Thread

[HICKMAN]

The POTUS forgot his teleprompter.... let's watch him stumble through it with ten minute long answers that really don't say anything....

 

[HICKMAN]

with is his "list" of people asking questions....

wonder if they handed out the questions as they came in

"Hear, read this, you'll be on TV"

 

[kate1776]

Wait, is this also a drinking game? Or bingo?

 

[HICKMAN]

I was thinking a shot every time he looked for a teleprompter...

 

[Bigum1969]

Uh....Uh.....Oh.....Uh.......Oh.......

I was thinking a shot every time he looked for a teleprompter...

Yeah, my tv and wall are now full of holes....

 

[Panama]

Dang it!
I was gonna watch it but I .........................sat on the deck and listened to the little spring frogs chirp!
MUCH more enjoyable and probably more enlightening!

[HICKMAN]

I couldn't finish it... we fired up Heroes on the DVR instead

 

[jedi]

The the IBO say anything truthful?
I refuse to watch IBO period.

 

[HICKMAN]

he was long winded and boring...

His staff had fun though:

YouTube - The Blackberry Shuffle

[Joe Williams]

We decided to watch Worlds Dumbest Criminals on TruTV. Seemed like a much more worthwhile way to spend our time.

ditto. i just read it in the funny papers. i can't even watch that guy any more without breaking furniture.

 

[bigg cheese]

wife almost hit me. I counting his "uh's" for the sole purpose of seeing just how articulate this guy can be off the cuff. i'd much rather hear alan keyes. he knows hiis positions entirely, and can actually answer the questions directly.

 

[jeremy]

I would be interested to find out how many uhhs there were in his speech last night!

 

[pjcalla]

He actually had the teleprompter last night. He had a big screen TV in the rear of the room. I think it is funny that he moved it, to fool all the sheeple. Fox News pointed it out after the speech, and I actually saw it this morning on the news. If you know its there, you can see it.

All I heard was....uh, ummm, Socialism, uh, oh, Education, ummmmmmmm, Environment, oh, well, as I have said before, uh, Taxes......

I liked his explanation of lowering the charitable giving deduction. Let's see, we take a guy paying 39% of his income in taxes, and compare him to a guy giving 28% in taxes. They both give $100 to charity. Obama managed to twist that into the guy paying 39% on his income was really the one getting the great deal, so he should get less of a deduction? The logic it takes to come to that conclusion is so dark and twisted, it's scary.
