That's one steaming pile right there.  1 - He doesn't do serious converstations.  He has to have scripted statements from Telly Prompter.
2.  He ain't happy...he got snubbed by Fox.  3 - Healthcare costs will skyrocket....but he will call it a cut because he'll be spending billions of tax dollars to "fix" it.

 :bs:

His definition of a "Serious conversation" is agreeing with him, and possibly offering helpful suggestions about how to do what he wants faster.

If You Attended a Tea Party and You Think You're Not Now Being Watched, Think Again
"The Department of Homeland Security has a corporate IP address of 216.81.80.134 and is located in Springfield, Virginia—area code 703. The coordinates of this location are latitude 38.7438, longitude -77.2333. How do I know this? Well, let me give you a little background information and then we’ll connect the dots.
 
I have a web site I use to sell a product that I invented and patented. The product is basically an educational tool. My biggest market is college students enrolled in a technical or engineering program. I also sell this product through an association of college bookstores. As an educational tool, my product is totally 100% guaranteed harmless. If you Google my name and the words “graph paper”, you’ll find my web site.
 
On April 15th I attended the Council Bluffs, IA “Tea Party” Tax Day protest. I emailed the event organizer the day before that I would be attending the “Tea Party”, along with several fellow co-workers. I got the organizers name and email address through the website theglennbeck912project.com. I was a little hesitant to go at first since I’m not one for protesting, but in the final analysis it was a wonderful experience.
 
Enough with the background, now let’s connect the dots. On April 18th, two days after the tea party protests, I was checking traffic on my website. I always do reverse IP traces on major hits to see where they are originating so I can evaluate the effectiveness of my marketing strategy. As I checked one particular large hit, I was stunned to see the following on my screen,
Hostname:                    216.81.80.134
ISP:                              Department of Homeland Security
Organization:                Department of Homeland Security
Type:                            Corporate
Country:                       United States

Obama is sounding a bit like Nixon. He is doing what a king does. FOX News and Tea Parties are American as they get. Okay, FOX News is owned by an Australian named Rupert Murdoch. Also, the idea of Dems controlling the Congress and President is not a good thing. What happened to checks and balances?

It would make great television for Obama to actually have a news conference with the "little people".......no teleprompter, no David Axelrod writing the answers for him, no media fawning over him,.........just plain, simple, gun toting, bible reading people. The questions, and more importantly, the followup questions would eat his lunch. Contestants from America Idol face greater scrutiny and have to run for re-election every week than the Messiah faces.  :-)

FWIW, all the networks carried Zero's speech, EXCEPT Fox.

The program running opposite Zero, right before "American Idol", was "Lie To Me"....

Fox scored a double last night for that one....

Do we know the ratings for FOX last night?

Dick Morris was on O'Reilly last night and said the networks only agreed to air TWO Clinton press conferences in his ENTIRE PRESIDENCY.  (not including state of the union addresses). 
Meanwhile Nobama gets 3 within his first 100 days...Media Bias...Nahhhhhh! :whatever:

I don't have the link handy, but Fox's "Lie to me" had higher ratings than "OBama Lies To America" that ran on the other networks.  Now by that, I don't mean combined ratings, just comparing Fox to each of the others individually.

James Hibberd is reporting that between broadcast and cable the Obama press conference averaged 28.8 million viewers, a 29% drop from his last press conference.  Fox News had the most viewers (more than CBS, ABC or NBC).  Here is the information for the cable news networks.

Wednesday night’s primetime press conference to mark Barack Obama’s 100th day in office was viewed by 28.8 million people, according to Nielsen.

That’s a 29% drop from the president’s last press conference, on March 24.

Obama lost 21 million viewers from his first prime-time presser in February, according to James Hibberd...

Jesus, if "real people" would talk to "Teh Wun", they'd tell him to reach down and find his pair.  He's whined about Rush, FNC, and the Tea Parties all in the course of the past few months.  I don't seem to recall Bush whining about how the MSM or the left treated him.

Yes, this was a mistake to so casually wave this off.  I thought it was hilarious on that day for the WH to say that 0 was unaware of the tea parties.  He's just pissed off a whole lot of people. 

Hi,

I agree with you and hope he continues to do so.  I feel he energized a whole lot of people.  We need to stay this way and fight harder to the next election an thereafter.  The more he insults the intelligence of the conservatives, who knew damn well he knew all about the tea parties, the stronger we will become.

I do not think it was any surprise when, not ten days later we started to see articles about upheaval in the Republican party.  We need to continue to direct that anger to the Republican committee and our representatives as well, they need to be lock step in line with real conservatism. 

And I say this to Senator Specter, "On the way out, don't let the door hit ya, where the good Lord split ya!" 

Once we get our own house in order, then we can take that energy to the next election cycle.

Not only does BO come off to me as insulting our intelligence (which is arrogance), and thin skinned as some others have mentioned, he also comes off as petty.  As he attempts to punish those who criticize him, he will find all that does in energize us even more.

BO would have been smarter if he said nothing, or just acknowledged that the folks of America have many good concerns and leave it be.....glad he choose to do what he did.

Just reinforces what an idiot he really is.

Hi Thundley,

Wow, that was powerful.

Be prepared for a "random audit" from the IRS.  Nothing political but my guess is a lot of the protesters will, just though the luck of the random draw, find themselves audited in the near future.  Hell, Paula Jones took the standard deduction, did not itemize, and she was randomnly audited three years in a row......but Clinton had nothing to do with it of course.
