David Axelrod, making the rounds of news shows tonight to polish the administration's messages coming out of President Barack Obama's news conference today, talked about the talk the administration is having about Iran and North Korea.
The problem, Republicans are complaining, is that it's all talk, and no walk.
But the president himself addressed that question today, when asked about Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham calling his response to Iran timid and weak, and then asked if the words that he used today for Iran's treatment of protestors -- "deplored, appalled'' and "outraged'' - were "influenced at all by McCain's and Graham's accusations.''

Along the lines of Boxer's "Call me Senator." They really ARE full of themselves aren't they?
Beside that he is a left wing liberal, a socialist, and a defeatist, this man is totally arrogant but at the same time totally insecure.

Around here, all I can find are morons who are still blaming Bush for everything that is bad.
Touchy little $%&#@, isn't he?
If Obama actually thought of himself as president he wouldn’t make these statements. It is just reinforcment of the fact that he is actually ineligible to hold the office.
Show us the birth certificate and your school records, you simpering Chicago gangster.
Obambi reminds me of the Margaret Thatcher quote “Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people that you are, then you aren’t!”

And I’m keeping a tally of how many times he says...
“In my speech in Cairo...blah, blah”
Two times since the Iranian crisis.
I expect many more.
Not my president you poser POS. I guess he has to keep telling us he is president, because he himself, knows he is a fraud.
As he keeps reminding us. What's he afraid of? I wonder . . . .
He's afraid of being found out. He's running out of road. He knows it.
I was actually on a tour of the West Wing last week (I have a cousin who works for Obama).
There are *double rows* of huge pictures of Obama everywhere, in all the hallways and reception areas of the West Wing, no joke.
Very Jim Jones-ish.
When I first saw that photo on Drudge, that is exactly what it reminded me of ... the Bigfoot photo! LOL!
