Since the Dear Reader is now using a massive monitor located in the back of the room (presumably avoid the now familiar ping pong side to side reading) it would be nice to get a 2 shot of the rolling script and a view of the prez reading.

I knew he was reading but I couldn’t locate the monitor.

Someone needs to do a an Obama-esque version of the movie…The Reader

I know I’m being cynical, but darn it, I can’t help it: I’m skeptical.

Yea, me too, AP. It was all handwaving. He honestly sounded like he didn’t have a clue.

If Obama really wants to do good things for America, he should use his bully pulpit to attack the urban black culture.
welfare addiction is just another form of addiction like crack, except welfare pays. Until the welfare class breaks loose from the government sugar tit, how can they possibly appreciate the value of hard earned money and what it means?

Throwing money at the education system in welfare neighborhoods is a total waste of money. The culture must change if there is to be any hope of getting the welfare class children to take to education.

It all boils down to responsibility, and welfare underminds responsibility like nothing else. It is cruel and shoud be abolished for the able bodied folks that should get a job and go to work like the rest of the country.

Either that, or the democrats should admit that they enjoy having useless dependents to roll out of the refrigerator every two years to keep them in power.

I love how even the HOT WORDS education and health care are becoming cold as ice. People are seeing that this tax the big guy and big government does nothing but piss off the people that actually create the growth that this country has had for 98% of its history.

I didn’t make it through the whole thing. I noticed he mentioned the problems he “inherited” at least a couple of times.” This, of course, coming from the guy who doesn’t like distractions from the issues or divisiveness among the parties. Sometimes I have this vision of Pelosi whispering in his ear before he takes the podium “now don’t forget to mention Bush’s failed policies.”

Its so cute that you people think President Obama is responsible for the “gigantic deficit.” :D

benny shakar on March 25, 2009 at 3:13 AM

Cuter still that the President Obama promises to cut it in half with all his increased spending proposals, huh?

Smug condescension is grating, but smug condescension + ignorance? Now, that almost is “cute”

I’m done questioning his patriotism; I question the president’s grasp of arithmetic. I swear he said that he was going to take the half the deficit by increasing it from $1.3T to $9T. But don’t worry. This is just the first budget; there will be many others down the line, or something.

Someone earlier mentioned they’d take back Bubba at this point. You don’t know how many times since November I’ve said, “I’d gladly take Bill Clinton in the White House if we could have a Newt Gingrich Congress.”

I just luuuuv the way he has to preface every single thing with how this mess didn’t happen overnight, he inherited all this bad stuff… As if he’s the only president in history that got the job with some issues that were ongoing. Did he expect Bush to clean up everything? All I ever hear is whining.

Listen to all the buzzwords, this speech can mean anything he wants it to mean. It’s so very carefully stated with no specifics.

Maxx on March 24, 2009 at 10:41 PM

Scary thing is, this was supposeed to be a press conference. But I guess when you only know how to campaign, and give a speech, you fall back on what you know. Besides, questions can be such a distraction.

Well, there is no “terrorism” anymore. I think the Ministry of Truth has found some other more fitting term, can’t think of it right now.

ddrintn on March 24, 2009 at 11:25 PM

“Overseas contingency operation” (IIRC), which is bureaucratic bull$hit for “we don’t want to use the words ‘war’ or ‘terror’ because then people might expect us to have an actual plan or something”
