Obama to speak and then take questions from media. News sources say this conference is due to his loss in the polls:)

IN THE HEADLINES

Obama calls for $1,000 energy rebates to be paid with windfall profits tax on the oil industry ... McCain says Obama opposes education policies that would help underprivileged students ... McCain and Obama campaigns trade barbs on who brought race, negative tone to campaign ...

[MaestroLC]

Thou shalt not criticize Lord Obama. LMAO. I hope many Americans see this.

Republicans should rejoice. Be confident! He's imploding. Polls show the growing backlash against him. He's being defined as an empty suit, an arrogant demagogue, the vain presumptuousness, the media's celebrity choice.

Lord Obama is letting us all know today what makes him vulnerable. He's on the defensive. This press conference is the behavior of an inexperienced rookie. It will show in his answers (so pay attention).

I cannot wait to know what else bothers him, and add more to his tally of gaffes.

[johnny7]

His moonbat base will know that Boma is only saying what he must in order to win.

Disagree.

I know these people and reversals such as these would totally deflate their passion for the boy-king. It is blind passion that motivates these idiots to the polls on election day... not values, issues or common sense.

[Son House]

As mine, every time they insult McCain for his age, I will counter with Obama’s Attention Deficit.

Does anyone believe he’ll be asked a questions that hasn’t been previewed already?

Obama calls for $1,000 energy rebates to be paid with windfall profits tax on the oil industry

That's so nice of him. Then the consumer can use the $1,000 energy rebate to pay the cost of the tax that the oil companies will pass onto the consumer. And round, and round we go. What a complete and total moron.

[TornadoAlley3]

No matter, the news media will play clips of it every day next week...Oh how great it was, he was perfect, he slapped McCain on race issue, tingle tingle tingle.

[tiredoflaundry]

Maybe he has not finished eating his waffles..........

[mewzilla]

Obama’s energy plan: drilling tires ("Making sure your tires are properly inflated"!?!)

Barry's gonna make Carter look like a piker.

[tobyhill]

You nailed it. He will not answer any question his staff hasn't reviewed. It's the little secret the MSM isn't telling people when it comes to Obama. Obama already knows what reporters to pick. I do have to credit McCain because even without his preselected questions he sounds 100 times more intelligent than Obama.

Be confident! He's imploding. Polls show the growing backlash against him. He's being defined as an empty suit, an arrogant demagogue, the vain presumptuousness, the media's celebrity choice.

Yes, all that - and the best part is, the voters who will decide the election are not even paying attention yet.

[SE Mom]

Punctual fellow, isn’t he?

Announce an 8:30 press conf and then keep people waiting over 20 minutes..

[caseinpoint]

Well, I am voting based on his color. I’m voting against him because his resume shows him to be a political greenie, because his economic policies proves he’s red and his defense policies make him yellow.

[TornadoAlley3]

Perhaps he will get irritated with a reporter, lose his cool....wishful thinking:)

[Red_Devil 232]

There is a delay .... must be a problem in Houston!

[RetSignman]

Currently, they are building anticipation, building...building...building.

[EBH]

Could it be...he is coming clean about his eligibility? Keeping us waiting...this isn't going to be good...

The noblesse don't oblige.
