How dare they ask Obama a question

Obama goes to the press room of the White House. A member of the press deigns to ask him a substantive question. Obama gets his panties in a twist.

HOW DARE THEY QUESTION THE CHOSEN ONE!!??!!!

This guy has an arrogance and sense of entitlement about him that make me sick.

Translation: I DON'T HAVE A CLUE!!!

Seriously. Does the GUY look in COMMAND or does he look extremely lost and unprepared? This is why he has his BarackBerry close by...

*beep* JOE, what do I do? - Come in Joe! *beep*

I dont think we should go on looks. There were many times that Bush looked the Dunce that the media tried to portray him as.

Well to me Bush looked in charge. He had experience and a solid record in governing people, places and things and had real plans in place whether I agreed or not fully.

The media constantly went overboard trying to MAKE him look like a dunce to the degree that it made THEM wear the pointed hats and sit in the corner of the room in the end.

I wouldn't quite say that. While the media did make him look dumb they ended up diverting their attention off of him to the new god of this age.

I don't think Obama looks unprepared either, I just think he's a cocky doof.

Well, my wife wasn't the best cook in the world during our first week of marriage. :lol:

I'm not going to judge the President's performance just yet. There'll be PLENTY of opportunity to do that, we all know, and we can be assured that he'll be himself in the process. His smug demeanor and his lack of skill on the fly will show itself, and he'll get better at dealing with both and we'll move on to more important things to be mad at him about. :lol:

BUT, I told y'all his press secretary was from Auburn, Alabama. Now, don't act all surprised when the guy gets up there and makes a mess of it. When Apple flops with its new CEO, also an Auburn man, you will see that Pres. Obama and Steve Jobs both made poor choices.

"Ahh, see," he said, "I came down here to visit. See this is what happens. I can't end up visiting with you guys and shaking hands if I'm going to get grilled every time I come down here."

Look at his reply...welcome to the real world Obama, I know he is used to everyone patting him on the back but the press room will not do that....How does he think Bush felt when he was getting ripped every day on the news...Unreal

To me this shows the inexperience of his press sec. as well for allowing him to go in there not prepared to answer questions.

Did you see the clips of him signing the order to shut down Gitmo the other day? Ever time a member of the press asked him a question about the order that HE HAD JUST SIGNED HIS NAME TO, he had to turn and ask his White House counsel what the answer to the question was. The White House counsel would then tell him the answer, and Obama would repeat the counsel's answer WORD FOR WORD. Sounded like the puppet master.

It gave me great confidence in our leader.

What kills me though is the double standard. If Bush had turned to Dick Cheney and asked what was in the executive order he had just signed, we'd still be hearing about it. I've heard not a word about this on the mainstream media. Thank heaven for the internet and Rush Limbaugh!

Exactly. Remember no TelePrompTer was available:

Don't you think you would be prepared for this event? Don't you think you would KNOW what you are SIGNING??? At least enough to answer the basic questions? I'm sorry I CAN and will judge these starting issues.

Totally unprepared and manipulated. NOT leadership material.

NOW...........!!!!!!

Let us all PRAY for our "new President." Isn't that the thing to do?
We can always complain but..
Prayer is suppose to change things..from what I hear.

Oh and btw..I couldn't cook either when I first got married.
Years ago, I was told I should bottle and sell my spaghetti sauce. That was before you coud buy it off the shelfs.

Now..look how much money I could of made. :wink:

Words come to mind like..."on the job training".

He is so far in over his head it is saddening.

dolfan,....I judged him the first day.

When he signed the bill on abortion......that did it for me..

Nothing he does for he next 4 years will cause me to change my opinion of him......except to repeal this bill.

I don't mean that his performance shouldn't be judged. I don't, personally, count interactions with the press as performance. I personally don't care if a president tells that collection of wasted brainpower to take a hike, fires his press secretary (esp. the one from Auburn) and turns the press briefing room into a pool hall.

being at work I was not able to watch the video now watching it I feel he was just wanting to meet and greet them, trying to be friendly etc. not wanting to have a press conference, which again he will learn this the hard way and is the fault of his press sec.
He wonders why Bush made errors so much...... But I am giving him the benefit of the doubt.
