Unscripted Obama kicks the shit out of scripted Obama
That's the man I voted for.

That meeting with the GOP was easily his greatest hour in months.

I just have to acknowledge positively when people say the things that are running around in my head.

6. And you were one of the people who critized him for accepting this invitation.
You owe him an apology.

But in lieu of an apology, I'll accept your bitter tears on his behalf.

8. If talk is so cheap, why does the first amendment to the Constitution guarantee it?
Edited on Fri Jan-29-10 01:46 PM by 11 Bravo
Now, if you had said that talk spewed by anonymous internet nobodies who have no idea of what it is like inside the crucible of political arena is cheap, then I would have agreed with you.

11. I don't know. Let's give him more than a year, eh?
I'm beginning to see where some people don't want this guy to succeed. I think it's dishonest to assert that President Obama is not taking action. He's done one hell of a lot for ONE YEAR. I'm done tolerating the dishonesty on DU towards President Obama.

+2. But I think it's way beyond not wanting his success
at this point. That's clear and understood and he's making it clear to the public exactly what's going on, to our detriment. I just hope that now that he has a moment - in cleaning this overwhelming mess he stepped into - to shine a brighter light revealing this nasty tactic, it will make the Republicans and BlueDems squirm because we're all watching from the point of getting things done and not who wins in not doing so.

5. I kind of agree. I don't have enough "data" but that seems to be the case. What do you ascribe...
...the disparity to?

Is blaming the scripted presentations on his "handlers" overly cop-out it closer to the truth than anything? Is that assertion (of mine) even being fair given the complexities of the position?

7. Cue the "angry black man" headlines from the right-wing noise machine!
Hannity will be on the floor, spinning in a circle going "Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo!" like Curly from the Three Stooges!

18. Perhaps POTUS has gotten to the stage where he no longer cares
what the other side thinks.... It was a long, hard lesson but perhaps its been learned...

20. I agree! This is exactly what the country needs to see -
the process, and Obama has the uncanny knack of cutting through the bullshit to explains what works, what doesn't and why.
KnR.

21. The Obama administration
asked for cameras. After the Q&A one member of the GOP said it was a mistake to allow cameras. They got crushed.

:woohoo:
