On Monday, President Obama is scheduled to sit down in the library of the White House residence for his first interview since his State of the Union address.

The interviewer? The United States of YouTube

In a first-of-its-kind group interview, Mr. Obama will read and watch questions submitted by YouTube users and answer them in a live Webcast. “It’s a way to give people access to the president that feels more participatory,” said Macon Phillips, the Obama administration’s director of new media.

The WSJ guy who comes on with Greta was at the event where Obama talked to the Republicans. He said “he’s a good speaker but he thinks he can talk his way out of anything.”

Luntz said that he’s very quick on his feet.

So, they’re trotting out gimmicks to try to energize his base again...so that he can talk his way out of the disaster we’re in. But at this point I think it’s pretty hard to sell hope and change to people who are still unemployed and have lost their houses.

Hard sell to normal people, but were talking about youtubers:) Not that all the youtube content is frivolous, but for the most part it’s a dumping ground for brain bubble gum.

Answer this two-part question;

If a single public Healthcare option is what you advocate, will you lead by example and enroll yourself and all of your family, in that same public Healthcare option without exemption for any alternative Healthcare ? And will you promise today, that every single US senator and every single member of the US House of Representatives will also be fully enrolled in that exact same public Healthcare option that you advocate, without any sort of exemption for alternative Healthcare ?

This is one of Axelgreasy’s favorite scams. This is merely a variation of astroturfing, as Barry’s team will field the queries they want aired, pretending to be from mere citizens. Democrats are a criminal enterprise. They lie. Obama lies. Obama’s entire administration is manned with liars, professional liars. That is the new definition of populist, BTW, professional liars.

BINGO.

I’m sure failbama would be happy to make any promise he needs to to get his commiecare passed. It would just be another broken one in a long line of broken promises.

yup, that’s what he said yesterday, but today is not yesterday, and tomorrow is not today, and what he said today, is not what he said, so you see what he says tomorrow is not what he said yesterday, or what he says tomorrow or what he says today, so there you have it.

Yes, I suppose you’re right...all they need is enough of the power monger’s personal stash of idiots out there and they’ll get away with everything.

Here in Oregon in one county (the one with Portland) SEIU outvoted all the other counties to pass a gross receipts retroactive tax on businesses so SEIU could keep its overpaid government jobs - of course claiming “it’s for the children” This was on Tuesday and people have already been fired, companies who thought about coming here say they won’t now, some business will be no more. The parasite will kill the host.

well you know the old saying “drug abuse is life abuse” and I think Oregon has a whole bunch of life abusers, maybe only second to California.

Some still unanswered questions keeping the public wondering:
1) When did you really first meet William Ayers?
2) Why did you not run the other way and take your children far, far from hate monger Revenerand Jeremiah Wright?
3) In what religion were you brought up for most of your childhood?
5) Can you read the news in Arabic?
6) Is there a war on terror? If so, why aren’t you fighting it with all methods possible?

Questions like that will only cause another teleprompter suicide. I think FR should get an offical Obama Avitar, so that we can really some truthful answers to these and other important questions.
