The Obama Presser

He's nervous and is stammering. He's no Reagan but who is?

Obama blamed the crisis on banks when it was surely governmental policy.

Plus, he's not asking anyone who will ask a tough question and honestly, it seems as though he knows of every question beforehand, hence, he's only asking those he knows will go soft. Even so, he's not exactly instilling much confidence in anyone.

Jake Tapper asked a good one: "what is your metric for gauging success?". The One is stumbling on it. He said it's jobs and is now on record. Freeing up credit was two and the housing market was three.

The CNN guy wants Obama to start showing flag-draped coffins. Fucking ghoul.

WTF? The WaPo dude asked about A-Roid? An absolute softball but that's to be expected. We're facing a crippling bill and the dude asked about A-Roid. You've gotta be kiddin' me.

Helen Thomas: "so-called terrorists". She's angling to get Obama to dime out Israel as well. Always the anti-Semite, old Helen. Update: Here's the vid from the national embarrassment, Ms. Thomas:

Now he's taking questions from the HuffPo? Putting Bush on trial is the quest of Arianna.

Obama essentially called Bush a torturer. Nice. His answer was, in a nutshell, "yeah, I'll consider putting Bush on trial but it'll come back an bite me big time".
