When a politician talks too much, that means they are in trouble. Serious trouble. Jay Carney’s song and dance yesterday was the most pathetic thing I’ve ever witnessed.

“He is trying to fight the scandals by now acting like he knows what he’s doing. He is a miserable failure. All he knows how to do is spike the football and take credit for what others have done. “

Well written. That’s exactly what’s going on. He is tryong to nudge approval ratings. Expect all sorts of things like this as he wants to appear he is doing the people’s business etc.

most unprofessional all over the place speech I have heard in my life.

He;s all over the place and all because he wants the headlines change to Gitmo instead of these investigations and him taking peoples civil rights away

All about changing headlines and the media will follow again

He had to drag it out until Rush went off air so that there could be no EIB rebuttal today.

Now, if Hillary would shut up from the audience we could finish hearing him talk about “Hitler and fascism.”

*****

LOL

This was nothing more than a plan to make us think that he has been presidential all along, and the scandals are nothing more than Conservative attacks against him. Nothing to see here, move along.

Planting a heckler just made him look more incompetent.

the speech was totally nuts and all because he;s trying to change the headlines and have the media talk about this instead of the investigations.

“oh no these investigations look bad for me, quick change the subject and have the media discuss this instead”

That is a simplistic view - the speech is serious in that he signed orders changing the way the military will operate overseas.

“Actually, I am beginning to wonder if Benghazi wasn’t friendly fire from an armed drone strike.”

I’ve been thinking that the drone that was allegedly monitoring Benghazi was sending firing intel to the enemy mortars.

It will be interesting to look closely at the phrasing of this speech.

“I went off script” - after the heckler was removed.

we honestly have kids running this country.

They go on strike and he caves, he then uses this to have the media change the headlines to this instead of the investigations.

He knows damn well the house will not let him shut it down, so there is no other reason to mention this now except change headlines.

That gives Odummy something to look forward to tomorrow, and he’ll have to deal with The Great One too. Levin will be in fine form.

whatever the phrasing may be he is either giving marching orders or lying.
______

Right.

Also, it is meant to manipulate and soothe those who voted for him but are concerned about the recent scandals and, in general, trying to get in front of this scandalgate which is growing beyond their control.

he;s seen his numbers take a hit because of the investigations and so he changes the subject and brings this up when he knows it’s a non starter to the house.
