The President's First Press Conference: An Obamanable Snoozejob ZZZZzzzz
Last night Barrack Obama gave a 10 minute speech about why we need to pass the stimulus bill before the nation's "crisis turns into a catastrophe". It was very uplifting. I immediately envisioned worried Americans planning their trip to their nearest retailer on Tuesday.
He then reminded everybody in the room how he inherited this mess from Bush the Terrible. And he criticized the Republicans for always wanting to lower taxes as the sole solution to the economic problems. He mentioned how the tax cuts did not work under Bush, pointing to the rotten economy we are now in as his proof.
His pretzel logic did not work for anybody with an IQ over 80. Bush's tax cuts clearly did work after 9/11. What caused the current recession we are in was the financial sub-prime meltdown on Wall Street. Of course, the fawning White House Press core did not challenge him on this failed logic.
The highlight of the evening was that fossil from the Civil War, Helen Thomas, asking Obama about the "so-called terrorists" hiding in Pakistan. What would you expect from a "so-called liberal journalist"? Obama even made fun of her when he acknowledged her before her dumb question. Did anyone notice that she was sitting in the front row, and no one was sitting to her right? Talk about a toxic ass-et!
Obama was asked 13 puff-ball questions, including one about A-Roid. He proceeded to bore us to death with very long winded answers, acutually mini-speeches. We all know how bright you are Mr. President, but we need more succint, concrete answers please.
What Amerca is starting to understand real quickly is that America elected a free spending, big government, smooth talking liberal. The only change we are going to see is the loose change we have left in our pockets. There will be nothing in our wallets if Obama the Oracle has his way.
Some of the questions that should have been asked last night:
> "Mr. President, do you regret having Mr. Biden as your VP?"
> "Mr. President, when do you plan on forgetting about the past and Mr. Bush? And if you want to keep blaming him, can you at least mention a couple of your fellow liberal Blowhards, Barney Blather Frank and the Connecticut Coxcomb, Chris Dodd?
> "Mr. President, why did you let Pelosi and Reid draft this stimulus package? There is some much waste in it, that you should have the signing ceremony at some toxic landfill."
> "Mr. President, do you remember when unemployment went over 10% during Reagan's first term or were you too busy partying at school? Or did your high school history lessons stop at the Lincoln Presidency?"
> "Mr. President, do you have a name for this porkulus package? If not, how about the Unreal New Deal?"
> "Mr. President, please explain to the American people how this entitlement spending package can possibly put 3 to 4 million Americans back to work. Or are we just going to "save" 3 - 4 million jobs, an unverifiable number."
> "Mr. President, shouldn't this porkulus package be put on hold until we know how many more hundreds of billions the Treasury Department and FDIC will need to bail out the financial system? This reminds me of someone who needs to put a new roof on his house after a hurricane, but instead first decides to waste $25,000 on a new car."
> " Mr. President, how many more printing presses is the Federal Reserve buying to print all this money that we don't have?"
> " Mr. President, why don't we open up all the oil fields in the U.S. for drilling? Screw the environmentalists. This action will create tens of thousands of good paying jobs and keep the money in our country, where it belongs."
> "Mr. President, please have your future press conferences in the day time. There are too many good TV programs you are pre-empting with all this liberal propaganda. You will frighten fewer Americans with your Prophet of Doom attitude."
> "Mr. President, please accept these DVD's of Ronald Reagan's inspirational speeches to the American people. Please destroy any Jimmy Carter tapes you have been watching."
> "Mr. President, please wake me up when you are finished."
