Obama press conference

[hornadylnl]

Not a threat, just a bad joke.

Okay, I have reconsidered and you're right. Let's invade. Who's responsible? Doesn't matter but at least we'll look tough.

Doves on the gun forum. I might have to reconsider my choice of weapons when I dove hunt.[/QUOTE]

Not sure what your comment means. I am not antiwar if the situation calls for it but I expect the leader of the free world to be rational and capable of logical and nuanced responses to crises and to not act like a hot-tempered cowboy. You know - speak softly but carry a big stick.[/QUOTE]

I'm certain your Dear Leader will make you proud. If he doesn't I am equally sure that you will spin it until he does.

The last line: "God bless the United States of America" delivered with downcast eyes, sinking voice, and turning from the podium. Disgraceful.

Bush would at least sound tough and look us in the eyes.

i just watched the video and i dont see what you're talking about

I have not seen the video, but if the OP is blatently lieing, which it seems might be the case, shame on the OP.

Agreed.


I wonder how the first woman president is going to do, and the first Hispanic president etc.

There can only be one "First" and the blacks kinda got screwed with this guy.

I'd really rather not take chances on a woman. Most of them tend not to be hard-hearted enough to lead effectively. And of those that do, at least in the corporate world, they tend to lead with a chip on their shoulder.

But you're right. History will not look fondly on the first black (skinned ) president. And it will be a long time before another one is elected I'm betting.

It took him a day to make this announcement, and how many days to visit Hurricane Isaac damage?

Too busy campaigning?

It's 1979 all over again, and we have a Carter wanna-be in the White House. This should add a little fuel to the current election fire.

Unfortunately, Romney's only similarity to Reagan is that his last name begins with R.

It's a start.

Well, I watched the presser and I have to say that the OP is full of crap. I'm not an Obama fan, but this was a pretty good speech and I doubt any of his predecessors would have spoken any differently.

Hoosierdoc, is this the speech to which you refer?

If so, you lied. Shame.

With this thread and Romney's boner last night, why are conservatives looking to score political points from this tragedy?

 

[silverspoon]

I watched it and the only thing I noticed was Obama either needed more time to rehearse the speech or he terribly missed his teleprompter.

 

[printcraft]

.....Romney's boner....... last night, why are conservatives looking to score political points from this tragedy?

The media is already rehearsing how to act together to use this to grind on Romney......

Do you still think there is not a left bias in the media trying to score political points out of this for their man barack?

[bigiron]

no his best but not his worst. i felt he could have been more stern in condeming the attacks. the thing that stuck out the most to me was how he switched gears at about 3:30 in the white house video. it seems clear to me he took the opportunity to campaign a bit by talking about how he visited Arlington and Walter Reed. how exactly does that matter at this time? shameful, IMHO, but expected.

BHO has sent two ships to Libya. Wonder if they're Russian?

I would imagine the Captains have orders to proceed with all deliberate speed to Libya, if not rush.

Wait, I thought Obama wasn't going to do anything.

What? I thought Obama was sending in the Marines?

Did I miss something?

Why did the libs (and by libs I mean local INGO libertarians) look to score political points from 9/11?

My kettle wants to meet your pot.

My apologies, but I do not understand your post.

I can offer my take on this situation if you like. As I already noted, the OP lied. Romney had a simple task before him last night but fumbled by going political. This was amplified by the fact that we didn't even have all the information concerning the event at hand. The next morning, the campaign could have played it cool, but chose to double down. It was tacky.

Apparently the consulate in Benghazi did not have a Marine contingent. Better late than never?
