The President, having a meeting with his top advisors in the Roosevelt room, pretty cool!

1. I wonder how candid this meeting is as compared to a meeting behind closed doors

nt

[Clio the Leo]

2. There in lies the problem with transparency....

..... even when you stick a camera in the room people will say that those in front of the camera aren't being candid enough.

There's always something.

[bluestateguy]

5. I agree with you

and some meetings need to be held in secret to allow a free flow of ideas, some of which might not yet by fully fleshed out, and some of which might not be popular.

[Clio the Leo]

7. Which is why we have to thank President Hayes....

.... for installing telephones in the White House. ;)

3. I just heard President Obama mentioning ...

TAX CUTS?!? :puke:

Face it fellow American PEASANTS, Bush's TAX CUTS for the wealthy are here to stay.

Meet the new boss ... :grr:

[Clio the Leo]

8. and the rest of the sentence was..............? NT

[ShortnFiery]

9. Oh gee, do you honestly believe that TAX CUTS will stimulate increasing employment?

That is an old and tired GOP meme that Obama is presently touting. I could not be more disappointed in him and his "team." :thumbsdown:

[Clio the Leo]

12. ok, lets try this again.....

... I'm not arguing with you, I'm asking you what the rest of his sentence was. To just say "the President said 'tax cuts'" doesn't tell the rest of us anything.

I was out of the room for part of it. If he said he was going to offer tax cuts to the wealthy I certainly missed it.

22. No time for facts..just "the President and tax cuts"

seem to be enough.

[SpartanDem]

11. What did he say about tax cuts?

was for small business, the middle class, billionaires what exactly did he say. and for your information Obama's budget outline given to Congrss let's those tax cuts expire.

[jenmito]

13. And? Just MENTIONING "tax cuts" makes you vomit? What if he said he's going to let the

tax cuts for the rich expire? Talk about misplaced vomit!

[HopeOverFear]

4. thanks, watching now

[elocs]

6. Wow, this promises to be a dogfight. Better than sex. n/t

10. If he continues ignoring Paul Volcker he will suffer the consequences of

another economic collapse.

[ShortnFiery]

21. +1 Obama is continuing on with both Clinton's and BushCo's failed fiscal Policies

Now one of his solutions to create jobs is "tax cuts" which he immediately mentioned during the few minutes we were allowed to listen in.
