Today's Brack Obama press conference has been moved indoors over fears that Washington's heat and humidity might make Associated Press White House reporter Jennifer Loven's hair explode live on national TV:

[Vermont Lt]

If its Chil-lay, then what is the Portuguese pronunciation of Brazil? I mean if we are going to speak in accents, why does his discriminate against Brazil?

[TornadoAlley3]

sort of, but Obama said people would lose their employer coverage anyway if his plan did not pass because the costs are going to go up and employers will not be able to afford it anyway.

[AAABEST]

I am not able to watch the news conference. Do you think the press is starting to turn on Obama?

Obama is turning on himself. I can't believe what I'm watching. The arguments he's making on health care and Iran are transparently intellectually bankrupt, and his demeanor is that of a self centered neophyte fool.

He's an embarassment to himself and the nation at large. I guarantee that this is going to hurt him with his elitist suck-hards in the media. Elitists can't stand to be embrarassed. They'll start talking amongst themselves.

[ClearCase_guy]

He lies to himself.

An astute observation. I believe that someone who does that loses the ability to fully realize when they are lying to others. Dangerous characteristic for a president.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Bump for tomorrow. Ambien kicking in. Fading fast.

[9YearLurker]

95% cured? Is that like 5% fat milk? That comes out to 72 minutes, or almost an hour and a quarter a day.

[Citizen Soldier]

Didn't he have the heat turned up in the Oval Office in the winter to "desert storm Iraq in the summer"?

( I just realized why MO has her arms showing her pecs, trying to attract her man away from other.............maybe?)

[divine_moment_of_facts]

Just don’t take his smokes away from him.. Fortunately for him he can afford the cost.

[TornadoAlley3]

he has no grip on reality, we don't need a 2nd stimulus yet he says.

[9YearLurker]

Ha! You were faster than me!

[Kakaze]

Dead on

[TomGuy]

Did he just say he’s having Chile for lunch? Or is he taxing Chile? I’m sooooooo confused. *sigh*

Wasn't is something about chile with or without beans? My mind was drifting.

[Vermont Lt]

Watching him makes ME want to smoke, and I haven’t had a butt since I tried one in sixth grade. And that was some 35 years ago.

[Crawdad]

It's the nicotine.

[MisterI]

he said: “YET”!

[ShandaLear]

We didn’t need the first stimulis package.

[Miss Behave]

He’s been “95% cured” forEVER. Coward can’t even accomplish something starkly trivial that he is touting and legislating WHILE IRAN BURNS.

[jennyjenny]

First he said he was a “former” smoker, than said he was 95% cured. He can’t even be truthful with himself. How can anyone else believe anything he says?

[Deo volente]

Sounds like he could use a good smoke about now.

I'm sure Rahm's waiting backstage with a pack of Kool's.

[retrokitten]

Maybe he’s getting crabby because he needs a smoke.
