Live Thread: Obama Press Conference APEC Summit 9:45 P.M. EST, 4:45 P.M. HST 11/13/11

Yes, Dear Leader has scheduled a press conference for 9:45 p.m. EST during Patriots-Jets Sunday Night Football game. I doubt NBC will break in for it, but the cable networks will surely cover the APEC summit presser. That's the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit being held in Honolulu this weekend.

There's plenty of mischief afoot as this Reuters article attests:

U.S. expects "significant" APEC step on green trade

The United States expects Asia Pacific leaders on Sunday to take a "significant step" toward reducing tariffs and other barriers that block trade in environmentally-friendly good and services, a senior administration official said on Sunday.

"We're in a good place. We has some very constructive discussions around the important issue of environmental goods and services trade liberalization," the U.S. official told Reuters at the annual summit meeting of the 21 members of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation.

"We expect that when the outcome is explained after the leaders meeting it will be recognized as a very significant step forward," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity before the leaders issue their statement.

SNIP

In case NBC does interrupt the game to cover Obama's press conference, remember an empty beer can thrown at your TV does less damage than a full one.

I saw where the local media called it 'carmageddon.'

Suck-up Jake Tapper asks Obama about 'soul searching' comment on Penn State, asks Obama to opine on state of college sports.

Tapper also auditioning for Peking bureau.

He’s certainly not going to tell homosexuals to stop preying on children.

Except for the big gust of hot air on tv right now. This is what I've heard from him so far: "Ah, um, ah, er, I I I, you know, ah, um, me, my mine, I, uh..."

I wonder if anyone will ask him how he'll manage without Reggie's Love. I mean, without Reggie Love.

Missed previous question on trade. Long-winded answer by Obama.

Laura Meckler of Wall Street Journal asks about Obama ditching traditional local shirts photo, whether part of effort to play down Obama living it up while people suffer in economy (my phrasing). Notes nice itinerary of Hawaii, Australia, Indonesia.

Obama says this is a working trip, pushing trade.

Compete ferociously? The threatened INCOME tax increase on businesses, dubbed millionaires and billionaires, isn’t a WEALTH tax, and it isn’t competitive, Einstein!

Chuck Todd of NBC asking about super committee negotiations, also asks about 'hot mic' comments with Sarkozy trashing Netanyahu. Obama notes Todd only reporter to ask two questions.

Obama blathers on about budget deal.

Sun going down, media lights getting brighter.

He's much more animated now that he's talking about raising taxes.

Okay, looks like someone else sees this. Is it me, or does Zero seem more bizarre than usual? I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s almost like the lights are on, but there’s nobody home. Does anyone else see this?

Says he won't comment on private conversations with leaders, but then says he complained to Sarkozey about France supporting Palestinians in UNESCO.

Next question goes to Ed Henry of Fox: You started with $400 billion jobs bill and got nothing but the vets bill and a few executive orders. Will face voters next year with no jobs bill passed.

Obama blames Congress.

It's OK. He had a very frank conversation with Sarkozy.
