Friday, July 14, 2011 | Kristinn

[kristinn]

Obama and GOP to hold dueling press conferences this morning on the pending Obamageddon. The Republicans are set to speak to the press sometime this morning after a closed door caucus meeting featuring a doomsday briefing on debt default.

Obama is set to speak at 11 a.m. EDT.

[relee]

He really is lost when he’s ‘off teleprompter’.

[Danae]

“Drink”?? No, its only 8:30am here and I have to shampoo the carpets today, I can’t do that drunk off my ass.... lol

[Clint N. Suhks]

Armageddon?

WTF!

[maggief]

“We need to invest in things that will help us grow,” ... er, that donate big bucks to my campaign.

[penelopesire]

Let’s pray this country is waking up from a nightmare called ‘Hope and Change’ at long last.

[Recovering_Democrat]

He keeps appealing to the American people. No doubt Plouffe and Axeldork told him that “American people don’t understand” crap in his last presser didn’t work.

[tcrlaf]

OMG! Obama just said “Job-Killing Tax-Cuts”!

IS HE REALLY THAT F-IN STUPID?
And why is the media not calling him on this stupidity?

[Reagan Man]

FU Obama!

[Danae]

LOL
Yeah, and wiping my a*s with glass won’t get me a cut butt.

Hey Oblidiot! NO. What part of that do you not get? Then N or the O?

[KansasGirl]

The media is criminal, because they can’t really be this stupid. My 4 year-old could ask more pertinent and inquisitive questions.

[kabar]

Obama is with the American people. It is that damn Congress that is the problem, i.e., the Republicans. Now even Republicans side with him. How can they explain the 2010 election results?

[Clint N. Suhks]

What former republican officials want new taxes?

BS! Liar!

[maggief]

Boehner’s proposal fell squarely in line with Republican voters.

WTF?

[kempster]

39% would vote for Bozo if the election was today. But, 80% support his tax increase. He really does think we are stupid.

[ColdOne]

LOL!

[DrDude]

That would be better than selling us to Chicago! LOL

[alancarp]

Sounds like Rush, Hannity, Levin, etc. will have enough material from this for a month of shows. He’s gonna be eaten alive. This is pathetic.

Hopefully, the GOP leadership will also smell the blood in the water and go after him about this, too.

[ColdOne]

Yeah I heard that.

[Danae]

Hehe, I should have turned that into a Haiku... LOL

[shield]

US Marshalls...

[kabar]

This last question from Sam Young is the biggest wet kiss the MSM can plant on him. What a farce. This is the kind of press conference you would see in places like Cuba and the old Soviet Union.

[ohiobushman]

Amen

[kristinn]

Sam Young with the Hill gets next question. Obama says he’s not concerned about what’s said about him on cable shows or on Senate floor by McConnell.

[mylife]

So now this asshat speaks for us?

OMG! This guy is the most shameless huxter to ever come down the pike.

[DrDude]

He’s melting in front of our eyes!

[ejdrapes]

I swear every time I see him on TV his ears get bigger. His nose of couse hit the floor a long time ago.

[JFC]

FU Obama!

LOL.... I have to agree with your statement.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Hussein is now talking about how a family balances the budget

Ask for an increase in your credit limit AND throw tantrums until your boss agrees to give you a raise.

[alancarp]

(dunnno why there was a double post. Apologies)

[kristinn]

Obamageddon.

[Jim Noble]

“And why is the media not calling him on this stupidity?”

Were you born yesterday? Did they just drag you out of the cabbage patch?

Or have you been in a cave for the past 45 years?

[Bushbacker1]

Exactly!

[maggief]

He’s got three trade deals just waiting to go.

Being held up by trade adjustments for those who will be misplaced, (mumble, mumble...)

[Bushbacker1]

Better approach? This guy is living on another planet! Nothing he’s done has worked, only hurt!

[silentknight]

OBAMA just said HE WOULD WIN THIS DEBATE

[penelopesire]

Huh? I am not watching it..watching the Weather Channel until he is gone...lol. What did he say?

[ohiobushman]

like your tagline.

[midnightcat]

I can’t listen to his speech at work, but from the comments, it sounds like it went over poorly. He’s going out to the press, day after day, essentially saying the same thing each time. A whole lot of words that mean basically nothing. I think he’s making himself look like an idiot. How many people are actually believing him at this point? Besides those who are brain-dead?

[Clint N. Suhks]

‘My way or the highway’ is you 0bama you jackass!

[EBH]

uH...listening to a few excerpts on talk radio...

Something struck me as I relistened to the beginning.

“We have an opportunity to do something “BIG.”

0bama wants this to be his defining moment.

[Red_Devil 232]

He is talking about himself when he says “My Way or the Highway! What an Idiot!

[maggief]

Who is getting something done and who is

posturing and scoring political points.

(As he postures and tries to score political points.)

[SueRae]

He just buried himself...American people don’t want to see a lot of posturing..and party or any politician trying to do it my way or the highway.. wtf have we been seeing the last 2.5 years???????

[nascarnation]

last question to NPR, how come nobody from National Urban Radio today?

[relee]

He’s melting in front of our eyes!

So much so that you might think someone had dropped a house on his sister.

[Jedidah]

I’m frustrated, too, but I respectfully ask you to clean up your language on this board.

This is not DU.

[Danae]

“...Traditionally Bipartisan..." um hum. Thats why we elected the Tea Party to congress, and told the GOP in no uncertain terms that the gig is up, no more business as usual or you are ... out. And no Heidi Klum to kiss bubai as your butt gets tossed to the curb.

Kiss our collective arses Obama, we are going to FORCE you to veto this, and THEN you can explain why you are holding grannies SS check hostage!

Suck it up buttercup, there is a new sheriff in town and it AIN'T you.

[kabar]

LOL. Obama is the biggest posturer of all. He is the demagogue.
