We know the drill: Read the teleprompter for a few minutes, take questions from a few plants in audience, total of twelve or thirteen questions in an hour, filibuster, end to rave reviews from the state run media.

White House propaganda e-mail sent to NextGov.com

[ShandaLear]

He keep thumping the podium.

[GRRRRR]

>yogi bear on<

“Ayyy Booboo, we gotta get a better result...”

Working with members of Congress who are not in agreement???HUh?

THERE IS NO NO NO CHANGE IN MEDICARE.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Darlin’, that caption needs to be:

“Lassen sie mich frei sein...”

[mentor2k]

That “people are writing him daily” is not a reason. It’s an excuse. It’s a big fat effin excuse!!!!!

[Tennessee Nana]

“I want to do this right but...”

[Loud Mime]

Obama is selling this like a used car salesman offering extended coverage.

[MarMema]

Yes! I love this question.

[SE Mom]

That change would never have surfaced? LOL- you crack me up Obama- we’ve found changes you hoped would NEVER surface...

Repeat as often as needed until things are favorable.

[hoosiermama]

Can I say this so...and uh ....un er...un hum.

[Textide]

I noticed that too. He’s like a spinning top that’s losing its energy. Another 20 minutes and it’ll be full on “Buehler” time.

[Shortstop7]

I agree. The reporters act nervous.

[Nasher]

Woohoo! “Only” 4 minutes on 2nd question.

[freemama]

Does anyone know where in South America the have good healthcare for us Americans to jet off to? Oh, that’s right. We all will be paying more in taxes and won’t be able to afford a jet or to pay the Brazillian doctor either.

[kempster]

What the heck is going on with his makeup department? On high res TV he looks like he is a cross dresser. What is with the white eyeliner over the lids? This does not look Presidential to me.

[KevinDavis]

Has any President in the past done it???

[WashingtonSource]

Question number three a COMPLETE SOFTBALL.

Mentions single payer system — the socialist ideal

[MarMema]

“I want to cover everybody. Now....the truth is....”

[spectre]

This is a different press corps than we are used to seeing. There is an under tone I haven't put my finger on yet...but it isn't normal.

Maybe they're scared of Rahm?
