OFFICIAL OBAMA PRESS CONFERENCE THREAD =TUNE IN NOW= (link)
Edited on Wed Nov-03-10 05:03 PM by Poll_Blind
Watch it LIVE at White House: LIVE @ Whitehouse.gov
I'm not an Ed Shultz listener but I was listening today and he said something I thought was very true: "The hourglass has been turned over on the Obama administration", meaning time is running out and whether he chooses to work agains the Republicans or continue to work with them, this press conference will likely answer questions about his choice on the matter.
---FEED IS NOW LIVE AND STREAMING---

5. Agreed, but the Republicans are pigs and working "with" means that...
...the Republicans are willing to put something on the line too, in negotiation. I'm not sure they'll do that.

3. Why did thank Harry Reid for his service?
Did the Dems lose the Senate? I don't get why he said he told McConnell he looked forward to working with him!

7. Thanking Harry Reid for his service makes it sound like a nudge out of the
Majority Leader position.
At least Reid gets thrown under a shorter bus.

He just said "he's not too naive to think people will put politics aside"
Yes he is! Obama has been too naive and that is why we lost yesterday. Obama doesn't get it. We are in a ****ing war against the right wing enemy. Wake the **** up Obama!!!!
Damn he is pissing me off!!!

4. Updates for cube rats would be much appreciated.
I am interested to see how many times he mentions bipartisanship, compromise and across the aisle.

15. He wants to sit down with members of both parties, find common ground.
Vote reflected the frustration of the American people re: economy, jobs, etc.
Work harder at building consensus.
Hope for civility and progress.
Welcome to the United Corporate States of America.

8. Jobs, energy, children's future. "Most important contest we face is not...
...between D's and R's, most important this century is between America and her economic competitors. To do this we need to be united."

10. "Don't want to spend the next 2 years refighting the battles of the last 2."
TRANSLATION: He's scared his "achievements" will be de-funded.
Obama's only hope in 2012 is to scoop-up the steaming turd he left on America and say he is sorry.

22. I wonder what he'll say when the R's start impeachment proceedings against him
as they've already stated they plan to do.

11. I am tired of hearing about compromise. We did that the past 2 years and
it got us nowhere. Pandering to the lowest common denominator is a path to failure. I hear no defiance and no challenge to the failed policies of the RW who got lucky and got elected last night.

Oh, I'm ready and Palin is what this Country needs.

I don't know but to me all I heard was Obama repeating over and over, "Let's compromise and do things my way."
NO COMPROMISE!!! NONE!!
This was an unprecedented election and utter repudiation of the far left policies of the Pelosi/Obama wing of the donks.
BTW, has anybody heard anything at all on the MSM of the republicans picking up Obama's senate seat?
Me neither.....but COD and Angle lost.

So am I. Glenn Beck has stated something along these lines--when a radical is elected into power, the next election will see just as radical, if not more so, a shift to the other side, just to maintain equilibrium.
