Is there something wrong with the following transcript:

Again, a very closed and specific q and a session. If you check the OFFICAL PRESIDENTIAL SCHEDULE for that day it was as follows:

"The President will then hold a press conference at the Washington Convention Center. This event is open to Nuclear Security Summit-credentialed press."


The questions were purposely narrow, AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT....that is par for the course for these type of activities.

I know that you are an intelligent guy and you KNOW what I am talking about, yet you continue to defend this President....I suppose I should compliment your loyalty to him but you KNOW what type of news conference I am referring to and always try to sluff it off with these nuances (and that may not be the correct word) but you know what I mean !

Gibbs will no doubt have coached the press on what to ask and the ones to not do follow ups on....I am kidding....I think!?
I usually do not watch Obama speeches, but I will DVR this one to speed past the posturing, blaming and campaigning.

btk

It is not Obama that I'm loyal to. It is the opposition to double-standards that I'm loyal to.

I do not think Obama has the cure for everything that ails us - not by a LONG shot. It was another case of voting for 'the lesser of two evils'.

My personal opinion is that we need a valid third party that takes most of the centrist positions from both parties without the moonbat fringes of both. IMO, they'd win in a landslide.

I want to tread a bit lightly with my response to you on this.

I was NOT EVEN CLOSE to a McCain supporter...NOT AT ALL, and I do understand the mentality of the lesser of two evils, HOWEVER, I spent quite a bit of time investigating our current President and despite how badly McCain may have done, he (Obama) is much worse in my opinion !!!! MUCH

Now, did not see the press conference, but I still will wait for the REAL press conference in prime time where folks can ask whatever they want about anything they want.

I read the transcript of todays conference, and I think there were a total of 11 questions asked, 8 of which were regarding BP. Each of the other 3 (1 on Afghan, 1 on the troops sent to the border, and 1 on Sestak) were dismissed quickly by him (especially Sestak) and when the veered away from BP the conference was over.

If I have misstated any of this, please correct me.

Our President has shown time and time again that he has difficulty "thinking on his feet". He is a lot like Hillary Clinton in this regard; primarily only appearing at scripted events with his prompter in tow.
People liked to point to imperfect responses to questions that our former President gave, but the thing is he took hundreds of off-the-cuff questions and answered them like the confident leader that he was.

I must agree with you. I enjoyed the last few minutes of his conference. After saying he was running the show and NOT BP he was asked about
Liz Birnbaum and the MMS. He professed he didn't know if she quit or was fired. Yea he's running the show.

Good catch of the President contradicting himself when he speaks without script.
You know, as BP seems to be finally getting a handle on it's problem, despite the inaction of the Obama Regime, there will soon be a "press conference" where Obama claims "he's" solved the crisis.
