Update: The original video has been edited with the following explanation: “Some of the SDA regulars thought I took Dear Leader’s words out of context from the Al Aribiya interview. While I don’t believe that you bring a knife to a gun fight, I found some of their objections well reasoned and deleted the “offending” passage.”
An exceptional video.
Update – The First Presidential News Conference is being broadcast at the moment… yowza. He simply has no clue what he’s talking about. Can this man ah string six words together ah without ah ….?
Expect the shaking to begin from teleprompter withdrawal at any moment…
Helen Thomas just asked “do you know of any countries in the Middle East that have nuclear weapons?” Meaning – here’s your chance to finally confirm the bloodthirsty Zionists have the Bomb, oh, One Who Makes My Thighs Quiver.
From the comments – “I watched as long as I could. O Man is as vapid and dumb as a rock. The guy chatters. There isn’t a linear line in his brain. He had more disconnected angles going on than Pythagoras. My husband kept muttering “what in the name of God is he saying”. And the press, of course, sat in awe. I finally changed channels to the Westminster Dog show.”
Me too!
I’d pay five bucks for a bumper sticker that said: “Don’t blame me, I voted for the teleprompter.”
From p. 2 (of 13 in the NYT) of Obama’s Press Briefing (note the hyperbolic language):
“Now after many weeks of debate and discussion, the [recovery] plan that ultimately emerges from Congress must be big enough and bold enough to meet the size of the economic challenges that we face right now. It’s a plan that is already supported by businesses representing almost every industry in America, by both the Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO. It contains input, ideas and compromises from both Democrats and Republicans. It also contains an unprecedented level of transparency and accountability, so that EVERY AMERICAN WILL BE ABLE TO GO ONLINE AND SEE WHERE AND HOW WE’RE SPENDING EVERY DIME.” (Emphasis mine)
“What it does not contain, however, is a single pet project, not a single earmark, and it has been stripped of the projects members of both parties found most objectionable.”
Who believes such categorical, outlandish rubbish from this snake oil salesman? (61% over at CTV!) As I’ve noted, loving the (vacuous) sound of his own voice and not really knowing what he’s talking about, Obama says far too much: his weasel words can—and will—be used against him and, without knowing it, he’s setting traps for himself. (And he’s supposed to be so smart . . .)
So BHO the ‘cool’ president who can’t get the job done pre-empts House, the a-hole doctor who always get the job done. Personally, I rather be a successful a-hole then a ‘cool’ incompetent.
I don’t see any passion in his speech at all. It’s like listening to someone read the words without really paying attention to what they’re reading. I can’t understand what it is about O that has infatuated the American people and the world for that matter. Perhaps it’s because people are looking for that Savior. God help us all.
Like father, like son.
O BOY ITS BAD, TROJAN HORSE BAD, MR NON-AMERICA WHO ONLY RECENTLY FEIGNED ALLEGIENCE. PURE WEAKNESS ON TOP OF PURE NOTHING, BUT ‘HOPE’/ BUILD A WALL NOW
dumb as a rock?
wonder what he is saying?
luckily you conservatives have voted for a more eloquent and more intelligent guy in the past…

Dang, Kate! You said “Helen Thomas” and “thighs” in the same sentence. Ew!
boy, this cool cat sure likes to throw them gabs in about how the last 8 years of failed policies aren’t gonna be done again. No siree, instead he’s gonna go the way of them smart Japanese who made a recession last 20 years by putting more and more money into failing companies. It is absolutely amazing that in this day and age people fell for the smooth talking guy with the purple lips. There is no way, at the rate he is going, that America can last 4 years without becoming completely bankrupt. What a shame, I wish it weren’t so, with such a weak choice for Pres they will never again be a great nation.
chevy he’s not weak; he’s gonna stand up for america haters real fine
It is scary that his concept of “history” doesn’t even go past a single generation.
52% of the popular vote will not guarantee that he finishes a term without him and the gang of Pelosi/Reid being overthrown…..
Possibilities:
Military Coup…
Assasination….
Impeachment….
Civil War…..
Interesting times…….
Clearly, 2010 won’t come quick enough for the US.
Or the world, for that matter.
Somebody on this blog said a week ago that the happiest person with obama’s performance has to be jimmy carter; finally – after waiting 30+ years – he’s finally found somebody to assume the mantle of “worst US president”.
Way to gO!

Did he really suggest that the lessons learned from Japan’s Lost Decade are reasons to support the stimulus bill? I can’t believe his arrogance.
