[KathieG]

1. Yep! LOL

[AlCzervik]

2. yeah that was sweet and non assholish so unlike Bush. He didn't humiliate her.

[Sebass1271]

3. how?/ what did she say?

[ecstatic]

6. something like "I'm gonna skip that. Next."

If I recall correctly. My brain could be filling in the gaps with what I wanted to hear. :rofl:

[parasim]

14. Right, but what did she say to prompt his response?

I heard his line but missed her question.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

23. She asked if anything he heard RE: Intelligence gave him pause.

[AlCzervik]

26. i'm not surprised she asked, i would hope she's not surprised that he wasn't going to

leak out classified info.

[parasim]

30. thanks! nt

[jenmito]

24. She asked, "Whether absent what you heard, whether anything's given you pause" regarding

what he heard in his meeting with Bush and co.

[parasim]

28. thanks! nt

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Would you be interested in sharing details, or have I broken into a meeting of

the DU Autists Society?

[H2O Man]

13. She asked him

a multi-part question on his new level of intelligence briefs. He answered it well, without saying anything that republicans could point to and complain.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

27. My first speculative thought.

The almost-real brief.

Options:

1. Quietly shut the programs/s down.
2. Continue with the program/s.
3. Address the nation.
4. Evaluate the briefers. Then act.
5. Wait and watch.
6. Other.

[frickaline]

15. If I remember right

she asked him what about our intelligence needs to change and whether or not the agencies are communicating well enough with each other. At first he stated that our intelligence has recently gotten better but that there is always room for improvement. When he wasn't specific enough for her, she pressed the issue. He replied that he would "skip that".

[justiceischeap]

25. She asked if there was anything he'd learned that gave him pause

Then he said he'd skip that.. which wasn't a dismissal but a smart and correct answer.

[frickaline]

34. yep that was the question she asked when she pressed the issue

I had forgotten the exact words. Thanks.

[AFSCME girl]

5. Loved it! n/t

[eleny]

7. Dismissed!

[CottonBear]

8. Details please. Not everyone has access to TV or streaming video. Thanks! n/t

[rvablue]

17. She asked a question

some where along the lines of "You had new access to intelligence today. Do you think there are problems with intelligence and the way it is shared between agencies and the way it is gathered."

He commented that he wanted to work on streaming line sharing but then refused to answer the second part of her question.

It was also kind of funny b/c she seemed kind of nervous, stammered when asking her question.

[CottonBear]

21. Thank you! It's going to be a different world in the WH press room come January! n/t

[obama44]

31. She also asked him

if there was anything that he heard that gave him "pause". I read it as her essentially asking Obama if the intelligence briefing gave him proof as to some areas where he was perhaps naive. He dismissed the question, respectfully, just like he should have done. Obviously Candy is still upset that McCain lost.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. candy may have demoted herself

with that stupid move.
You want that the president reveal top secret intel BEFORE HE's SWORN IN?

stupid bimbo.

[AllexxisF1]

10. Uh....

Pwned how?

I watched the whole conference, all she asked what was his assessment of the security briefing. He basically said no comment.

[JuniperLea]

11. Ok, all y'all who are talking among yourselves are just fucked up

How about cluing a sister in, huh?

Jeez!!

[KathieG]

18. Candy asked if any of the intelligence he received "gave him pause"...he said he couldn't answer

that, she pressed the question again. He said (paraphrasing)"I'm going to skip that...next".

[JuniperLea]

22. Excellent!

LOL!! Thanks, Kathie.

[Frances]

12. I heard Obama say I'm going to skip that

but I didn't hear what the question was

[ellacott]

19. She asked what his assessment was of his first security briefing

He said he would skip that question and not answer it.


You guys have to stop posting like your on IM with your buddy watching the same thing. :)

[firedupdem]

16. She asked did any information he received from the security

briefings give him "pause" or something like that. Like he would really reveal that information. She is an idiot!

[Jennifer C]

20. He was great

Loved it.

[VolcanoJen]

29. It went like this:

Candy Crowley asked whether the President-Elect had seen anything in the new, high-level intelligence that might give him pause about things he'd said earlier in the campaign.

Obama answered her that our intelligence can always be improved upon, but that he wouldn't comment about specifics of national security. Then he asked her if that was a two-part question.

Crowley said, "Well, yes, absent what you've heard, I meant, is there anything that has given you pause?"

Obama: "I'm gonna skip that."

:rofl:

Very, very presidential. Me likey!

[ecstatic]

32. Thank you. I forgot most of the exchange by the time I posted the OP

I just remember having a good feeling about Candy being dismissed! :rofl:

[Erin Elizabeth]

33. Well seriously, did she really expect him to say

"Oh yeah, there was this one thing that really made me go 'SHIT, that's WILD' and it was this: ...."

No fucking way anyone's going to say that. He was totally correct in saying "I'm going to skip that" and he didn't say it in an ugly way, either. Just very matter-of-fact.
