[rocktivity]

:headbang:
rocktivity

[uponit7771]

5. Love his smile, this guy is hitting on all 8 cylinders and supercharged with common sense

[Manifestor_of_Light]

6. I was making date bars in the kitchen and listening.....

They're in the oven now.


I'll pass 'em around... :D

I'm so glad Obama is telling those whiny barsteds where they can stick their "failed ideology".

Obama Rocks!!!

[WinkyDink]

9. Mmmmm.......date-bars.........

[Minimus]

12. Yum - date bars.

[Catshrink]

19. I was cooking too.

I made Lemon Blossoms and Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats for my nephew. He's training for his deployment to Afghanistan. :cry:

"Support the Troops" has taken on a new meaning for me.

[renate]

please give your nephew a big DU thank you for his service

:patriot:

And please keep us updated on how he's doing. :hug:

[Catshrink]

50. He leaves in June.

He's trying to learn the Afghan language and train train train. He's a remarkable man and I'm scared shitless. He's all gung-ho and can't wait. The folly of youth!

[dgibby]

96. Good vibes for your nephew, and thank him for his service.

I'm sure he appreciates your support. You'll never get out of the kitchen--you'll be sending care packages to his entire unit!:hi: :patriot:

[dgibby]

95. Yum! Recipe?? Pleeeeeease!

[Glimmer of Hope]

8. I could listen to him go on forever.

[blaze]

10. An actual press conference.

I almost forgot what these were about.

Damn.

[rocktivity]

11. "I don't remember exactly what Joe was referring to.."

But that question was so convoluted, I don't have no idea of what the reporter was asked!

:rofl:
rocknation

[jenmito]

He added, "Not surprisingly..."

Everyone laughed. As did I. :rofl:

[uponit7771]

13. OMFG!!! Rodreguiz(sp)!?!?!?!?!

[Seen the light]

14. Alex Rodriguez?

I'm done with this press conference.

[Uzybone]

15. A freaking Rod????

Come on guys. This is not Bush.

[blaze]

20. LOL n/t

[blaze]

25. HELEN!!!!!

[Glimmer of Hope]

37. Lol. Not even close.

[MadBadger]

16. A-Rod?

I love baseball, but what a waste of time.

[TZ]

22. Yeah. Doesn't he have more important things to talk about.

GEEZ.

[Parker CA]

17. Asking about A-Rod??? Seriously? Did anyone see Chuckie Toad scoff at that question??

You have the chance to ask President Obama anything you can think of and you ask about A-Rod?? Wow. Just. WOW.

[treestar]

31. Dumb, but I did like Obama's answer regarding kids seeing

and learning from it.

[Parker CA]

40. Definitely. A great sign of an intelligent thinker to turn a poor question into something positive.

[Uzybone]

90. Yeah, it was a great answer to an out of place question

Taking short cuts seems fine now, but there will be a price in the long run. Can also be applied to our banks and brokerages.

[Cha]

91. Yeah, he gave an

excellent answer.

[Minimus]

39. And I thought the Iran question was out of place.

[951-Riverside]

18. OMG! TEH STEROIDS!!!!

Get that clown outta there. We have very serious things to worry about.

[Inchworm]

24. He may be from The Lounge!

:rolf::rofl:

[uponit7771]

21. No seriously, these people ARE FUCKED UP!!!!

[EraOfResponsibility]

26. HE CALLED ON HELEN YAAAAAY!!!!

[yourout]

33. She looked a little nervous.....I am suprised.

[Catshrink]

34. 'bout damn time!

:woohoo:

[Wednesdays]

27. Helen!!

:bounce:

[MadBadger]

28. Helen asking some tough questions

[Catshrink]

35. I'd expect nothing less from her!

[trashcanistanista]

29. Helen!

Good answer.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

30. A-ROD??? He needs to pull a Lyndon Johnson and say:

"What a chickenshit question to ask the President of the United States!".

:wtf: :rofl: :rofl:

[Barack_America]

32. Was President Obama really just asked about A-Rod?

Wow.

[jenmito]

41. Chris Matthews and his panel were talking about this, whether or not he'd be asked about it.

Roger Simon guessed he wouldn't be asked about it.

[southern_dem]

53. Is Simon right

about anything ever?

[jenmito]

56. Not that I'VE seen. n/t

[Fleshdancer]

44. Let's hope no one asks him about Phelps n/t

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

36. Helen? This is my inaugural moment. I'm very excited

Great line and tribute to Helen Thomas.

Now talking about the safe havens in Pakistan. Amb. Holbrook's role will be to deliver a message to Pakistan that they are endangered by those safe havens as much as we have. (If you've studied the region, you know this is the case, as the natives of that area are being intimidated by the Taliban, who come from a different sect of Islam than the natives.)

[Phoonzang]

38. All that buildup here and Helen asks if there are nations with nuclear weapons in the ME?

Don't we know that for a fact?

[WinkyDink]

43. The Prez ain't about to name names, ;)

[Dangerman]

69. What about Israel?

They the only nuclear power in the ME.

[TTUBatfan2008]

74. They have more nukes per person than we do...

That much is certain.

[newscott]

77. not officially.

[bridgit]

60. yes we do know that

[MadBadger]

42. I dont like Helen's second question about if any countries in the middle east having nukes

Its a hard hitting one, but Obama is right to not answer that.

[Wetzelbill]

65. He can't say Israel

It's too touchy. And then speculation on others fuels the warhawks.

[high density]

45. Huffington Post?

Wow.

[Parker CA]

46. GREAT question from HuffPo!!! WOW.

[WinkyDink]

51. "Nobody is above the law." :) :) :)

[Dangerman]

63. "Looking forward"

The past will come back and haunt you Obama if you don't prosecute Bush!

[WinkyDink]

70. Justice must be served.

[EraOfResponsibility]

76. "those who are found guilty will be prosecuted" (paraphrase)

he said that also.

[Seen the light]

47. Dodged, cut her off and this is after he talked about steroids

He has eight minutes left. If Heroes gets delayed for the idiotic last part of this presser, I'm going to riot.

[uponit7771]

52. No one got follow ups

[Phoonzang]

57. Honesly it should have been dodged. It was a dumb question.

[MadBadger]

64. He should have dodged and cut her off. Could you imagine him answering her question?

The consequences of that?

"Yes, I know Israel has nukes!"

[uponit7771]

48. That was NOT a .......NO!! GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TTUBatfan2008]

49. A question from HuffPo?

Why is he giving the right wing more reasons to attack him? He shouldn't allow questions from partisan blogs.

[Hansel]

61. It's less partisan than Faux News. He can handle it. n/t

[TTUBatfan2008]

68. No, it's equally partisan to Fox...

And like it or not, Fox is part of the MSM. HuffPo is a friggin' blog.

[Hansel]

82. We'll have to agree to disagree then. n/t

[Spazito]

71. I disagree, it is a brilliant strategy to treat the more well-known blogs...

with respect, it says to the corporate media that they are NO longer the only ones in control of the message and it also shows the public, imo, that going to online blogs for news, etc., another way of getting the facts, news, etc.

President Obama is DEFINITELY working in the Twenty-first century in terms of REAL change.

[Hansel]

87. I agree. Times are changing. Good for Obama to acknowledge that. n/t

[Wetzelbill]

54. Nice question Sam Stein!

[Minimus]

55. Mr. President, what do think of the new Dancing With the Stars line up?

I would not be surprised if one of those asshats actually asked that question.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

58. Smart answer to the Huffington Post guy

Nobody is above the law--clear incidences of wrongdoing people should be prosecuted like ordinary people.

He's rightly talking about looking ahead and not commenting on Leahey's proposal--but take heed in the statement above. It gave me the impression that he will let prosecutions take place, but won't be leading the charge, so to speak.

[uponit7771]

59. Nah, just get RushPublicans to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh

[democrattotheend]

62. 24 is on in 6 minutes

But if it goes over it'll be okay. And President Obama is just about the only person I could forgive for delaying 24.

[uponit7771]

67. So is HERO's...I'll wait though...sigh, a leader...and understands the situation.

[MadBadger]

93. My god, this show is turning into a comedy!

[Sebass1271]

72. I love 24!!! i just began watching season 1.. i rented it and can't

stop watch it!!

[democrattotheend]

98. LOL, don't watch this season until you finish season 1

It will ruin a few things for you if you watch the episodes that are on TV now. I had that problem because I started watching season 1 after seeing a few episodes of season 4. I didn't know who the mole was at CTU in season 1, but I knew who the mole wasn't, and I knew something else about the end. So I strongly encourage you to finish season 1 first.

[Fleshdancer]

66. Interesting question regarding future attempts at bipartisanship

republicans are so screwed.

[Parker CA]

73. He has really destroyed their entire philosophy in this presser.

"It's really hard for me to take criticism from folks when they presided over this debt." BAM!!

[Fleshdancer]

81. His whole "let's work together, just don't bring me the same failed policies" is a great msg

If the republican party is more evolved four years from now, they'll have Obama to thank for it.

[Barack_America]

75. Yeah. Why do we need more bipartisanship?

What we need is Minnesota's junior Senator seated.

[Sebass1271]

78. it is difficult to stop the old school, old politics... in washington

: )))

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

79. So very screwed

Obama has once again stated that they are the ones who got us in this mess.

[Mist]

80. "I'm not sure how much credibility these folks have about fiscal responsibility, when

they presided over the doubling of the national debt." SMACK!

[Parker CA]

83. One of the best quotes so far. Delivered a serious hit on that one.

[uponit7771]

84. Exactly!!! STFU RushPublicans

[Parker CA]

85. "I believe there's some ideological blockage there." HAHAHA excellent!!

[blaze]

86. Damn!

My President rocked!!!!

[Clio the Leo]

88. lol @ Reggie Love running across the hall with the bag.....

... wonder why he goes into the Blue room? Why does he not just go down the hall and up the elevator or up the stairs and go "home."

Weird.

And where was the Marine standing in the hallway?

[bridgit]

89. wonderful say i, thank you, Barack, for doing what you do...

:kick:

[sofa king]

92. "Civility and rational thought."

Hail Satan!

[demo dutch]

94. I just LOVE our new President!

[ChiciB1]

97. Call It What You Will... But By Playing It Cool & Up The Middle, You Leave A Door

open to come in the BACK door makes sense to me, but the question is.... IS that what's happening?? Regardless, we have a President who is keeping them guessing. Even the Pundits and many posting here, my opinion is that he's playing the game pretty well.

Letting the Repukes CARP for days now and making Americans FOCUS on some reality, some seem to think they're willing to gamble by 67% on what is being offered. Maybe some have decided to "pay some attention" to REALITY in their world, I think making people think is GOOD!

I'm a liberal boomer... REALLY, but I have come to realize that I'm also "my generation" versus the new/real generation of today and it may be we can try to be open minded by a new way of perceiving of how you get there. My daughter and I are planning a quick trip to San Fran because she recently visited and got blown away. She was looking to re-connect about my experiences of the 70's, which I KNEW wasn't the same, but she came away with HER perception of what it is today. So I told her SHE could plan the whole trip and what she wanted to re-visit, because her perception and what I remembered would probably mesh in many ways, but on a different level. Obama is my passing of the torch in many ways as it was my parent's way of HAVING to accept "my generation!"


Huge PROBLEMS... we need to stick together!!
