NYT's Frank Bruni After Obama's G20 Press Conference: 'He Doesn't Seem In Command'
newsbusters ^ | 6/19 | sheppard

Posted on 06/20/2012 9:34:32 AM PDT by RummyChick

Shortly after the press conference ended, Morgan played a clip from the event and said to Bruni, “He looks a little bit on edge, the President, at the moment. A little less self-assured and calm.”

“Well, right there, I mean, he looked really de-energized,” responded Bruni. “I was watching him, you know, as he stepped to the podium. One of the whole advantages of being President, of being the incumbent, is you get those settings – the flags behind you, the podium. You get the international audience.”

“And he strode out there,” Bruni continued, “and the cadence of his speech was very slowed down. There was a lot of hemming and hawing. He got the first question from the press and answered, that answer went on and on and on, and he provided this really strange tutorial on European economic dynamics, and I just, I don’t think that’s what he went to do when he went to that microphone.”

Bruni put an exclamation point on this critique adding, “He doesn’t seem in command.”

I don’t think O will finish his term. I think he will probably melt down. I think we are seeing the cracks already.

““He looks a little bit on edge, the President, at the moment. A little less self-assured and calm.”

The sob is probably realizing that he is about to be equated with Watergate—you know, the scandal where no one died. It would be wonderful if he could be held as an accessory to Terry’s death, not to mention countless mexicans who died as the result of his arrogant, catch me if you can attitude.

No kidding. He must be a hermit. We’ve enduring this stupidity from the ‘smartest man on the planet’ since he, his perpetually angry/bitter wife and flying monkeys infested the WH in ‘08.

One of the Dems nearly broke down and cried today during the contempt hearings. Don’t remember who it was but you could hear his voice quiver.

Fast & Furious, Executive Cover, Security leaks, Buffoon antics at the G20, Middle East Turmoil, Muslim takeover....Obama is not hitting on all eight. Time for the country to say goodbye to Barack Hussein Obama, not by election defeat, but by outright impeachment. He is an enemy of the these United States of America!!! End of story!!!

I know exactly what you both mean. I feel that way as well, though I don't wish harm on anyone.

Is it un-Christian to see the devil get his due?

"I don’t think O will finish his term."

To the contrary, unless Obama is appointed POTUS for life, it will be proof we are a racist nation.

The GOP will give their assent.

Helmut Schmdt lectures Jimmy Carter

As time went on, Carter lost more and more respect for his know-it-all German counterpart. The diary contains frequent comments disparaging Schmidt, such as: “Schmidt lectured on economic matters and gave a history of Germany’s great sacrifice to help other nations overcome their economic problems.” Likewise, the two leaders started to clash more often in public. During the oil crisis, the two argued over energy-saving measures at a G-8 summit in Tokyo. “The first day of the economic summit was one of the worst days of my diplomatic life,” says Carter’s diary entry from June 28, 1979. “Schmidt got personally abusive toward me.”

Obama is not clinton. Clinton was cool. He was experienced. Obama is neither. He’s in so far over his head it would take a deep sea oil platform to bring him to the surface.

There is nothing anti-Christian about hoping Satan chokes on his own vomit.
