What We Learned from Obama's First Big Presser

The 44th president has concluded his first prime-time presser and I found myself marveling over two refreshing aspects of the affair. The first was that we were actually able to watch it. During the last few years of George W. Bush’s tenure, it seemed as if he could dress up in a chicken suit and set himself afire and you couldn’t get the press corps to show up and cover it. If we were lucky, it might show up on CSPAN 3 and the highlights would be clipped for the next day’s Morning Joe or Fox and Friends.

The second impression I was left with is far easier to summarize; the man certainly loves to hear himself talk...

Obama lies every time his lips move.

I learned that Obama is a fool.

Oh, scratch that. I already knew he was a fool.

Last September Rep. Kenjorski was on C-Span talking about $550 Billion Disappearing in an electronic run on the Banks. Kenjorski is a democrat but the point of what he said goes to the reason President Bush worked so fast to shore u the economy. If he didn’t do what he did, the world economy would have collapsed. The other part of this is we don’t know who initiated this run on the bank or why. Could it have been a George Soros initiated deal to get Obama elected? After all, Soros almost caused a collapse in the British Pound. He is not allowed in England and I seem to remember he had a problem with France.

Listen carefully to the video which was taken from C-Span’s website.

I learned that The Obomber is a pompous jerk, at least what I could hear over my husband’s screaming at the TV.

Did you see how the press just stood at attention when Obama walked in. It was like a military parade! I almost thought some woudl salute him.

Also, looks like Dear Leader has been huffing paint.

Rep. Kanjorski: $550 Billion Disappeared in "Electronic Run On the Banks"
"On Thursday Sept 15, 2008 at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve
noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA
to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two.
Money was being removed electronically.
The treasury tried to help with $150 Billion.
But could not stem the tide.
It was an electronic run on the banks
The treasury intervened but had they not closed down the accounts
they estimated that by 2 PM that afternoon.
Within 3 hours. $5.5 Trillion would have been withdrawled
and collapsed and within 24 hours the world economy."

FLASHBACK: from 9/15/08:

“U.S. President George W. Bush said Monday he is confident
that the markets are resilient and can deal with the latest financial blows.
“We are working to reduce disruptions and minimize the impact
these financial market developments on the broader economy.” ...

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama
said eight years of Bush “brought us the most serious financial crisis
since the Great Depression.”

His Republican rival said John McCain said he was happy the
federal government decided not to use taxpayer dollars to bail out Lehman Brothers.”

How did Obama know THEN
that we would experience the ‘most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression’
when those who did not plan the takeover would not know for three more months?

Clearly he had a list of people he let ask questions and clearly he just gave little speeches (or big ones, I thought they were excessively long) in response to questions.

As an aside, I seem to see him on the tv every single day. Doesn’t he have an actual job to do?
