Barack Obama's Press Conference - Talks Economy, Takes Shot at Nancy Reagan
Associated Comment ^ | November 7, 2008 | Mark Whittingham

Posted on 11/07/2008 1:35:11 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Barack Obama conducted his first press conference as President Elect, with Vice President Elect Joe Biden and his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel at his side and his economic advisors, looking appropriately dour and serious, standing behind him.

There was not much in the way of news made at the Obama press conference, aside from a shot taken at an old lady named Nancy Reagan. The majority of the questions were about the current economic situation and what Obama intends to do about it. The short answer appears to be the enactment of some kind of economic stimulus package, the shape of which is unclear.

Some components of the economic stimulus package were discussed. There will be some kind of bailout for the automobile companies that will force them to make fuel efficient cars. There will be an extension of unemployment benefits. There will be some kind of "rescue package" for the middle class.

Barack Obama took a cheap shot at former first lady Nancy Reagan, suggesting that she held séances. This was in response to a question of consulting former Presidents. No doubt this will cause Barack Obama's unsavory image among conservative Americans to be soiled even more, at least until and if Obama apologizes.

I am sure he used some other distraction to avoid this and most likely no one challenged him on it in the Obamatrance, As my poor brainwashed mother who voted for Obama said to me the day after. “The stock market is down 400 points, boy that’s someway to respond to celebrate a new president.” Of course she had anger and distain in her voice. I could have said a lot of things to her in that moment and I really had to hold back, but I did mention his leftist politics and people are just anticipating the huge hit it is going to take on their capital gains and all the rest fiscally. But I mostly just smiled. Idiots.

Hey Obama where's the line for my free stuff ?

I can't wait to see his reaction when the bond market says 'no mas' to a $2-3 trillion deficit next year.

He never did answer the reporters question as to whether taxes would go up or not. I also noticed before I left the house for work that the stock market was steadily trending down upon his remarks.

After addressing the press, Barack Obama thought the microphones were turned off and he said “I heard Sarah Palin has returned to Alaska to begin a new career, yes she’s going into the adult entertainment industry starring in films produced by VPILF Enterprises.” and all the journalists roared with laughter.

Secret Service Agents caught an onlooker with a camera and they retreived it and smashed the camera threatening the onlooker with imprisonment if word got out about Barack’s joke.

The beginning of a rotten communist piece of sh@@. Already the SS is in the tank. Wait until he gets his private army.

Wonder what Non Reagan who voted for that POS will say.

Fitting punishment. Little Ron endorsed the jerk and now the guy insults his mother!

Expect more treatment like that, Obamabots, your turn is coming.

He's probably thrilled Obama picked a fellow ballerina for his Chief of Staff.

By the way I did not watch this. I did not have the stomach for it and also once my husband called me in to look at the set up and I saw that dumbas- President Elect placard! I couldn’t stick around. He told me the highlights and what he said about Nancy Reagan. One nice thing about having two conservatives in the household is when one can’t take it another second (me right now) the other can take up the slack. I need to get into action mode right now as I can’t sit around and listen to this partisan liar and his con. Good news. Something will get done for our party and values in the meantime by me—LOL. Nothing like a bit of fire under the kettle!

I look forward to seeing this.

1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory? Isaiah 10:1-3

I won’t if you won’t.

Either way, we’re in trouble with Barack if the conservative movement doesn’t regroup and stop nominating RINO’s.

No, it was satire. Barack would never say that, but he may actually think worse things.

Forget about the Republican Party. Get conservative Democrats to run against the old guard and toss them out at the primary level.

We did get some very, very good representatives in one-party Delaware this way.

We now have the second "Jefferson Presidency"; only THIS time it's "George and Ouisee"...

Haha! That's what they remind me of too, now that you mention it. Only, Weezy had some class, Michelle is just an angry woman.
