1. Click

Time to turn off the tv.

[tridim]

2. Why they fuck would you even post that thought?

Disgusting.

[itsrobert]

8. Turning off the TV is disgusting?

Nevermind, anyhow. When is he going to take questions? Is his audience staged?

[tridim]

10. Not caring about your country is disgusting.

His audience is Democrats, 80%+ of whom support him.

[itsrobert]

12. 80 percent? That's awful low for a Democratic President

It should be in the 90's.

[Maru Kitteh]

30. Compared to recent history, no it isn't - but thanks for playing. nt

[itsrobert]

31. Recent History?

The only Democrat in recent history is Bill Clinton. So are you comparing Obama's numbers to Clinton's during the high point of the Lewinsky matter?

[monmouth]

3. Glad you said that, I sort of felt a little (not much) guilty for not watching

him anymore. Actions mean far more to me than pretty words..

[tridim]

7. You're glad people don't give a shit?

Even more disgusting.

[joeybee12]

5. Yeah, why watch BS...I agree...nt

GObama!

[Shagbark Hickory]

6. Still sticking to the friendly areas I see.

[tridim]

9. 80%+ of Democrats support Obama, genius.

[Shagbark Hickory]

32. He should try to increase his favorability amongst repiglicans is all.

Especially since he's plowed forward with so many policies they support.

He should come down here and remind everyone about our tax cuts on the rich, expansion of nukes and oil drilling and more endless wars.

11. Round of applause for cutting Pentagon spending....gee, wonder if he paid attention?

He can check out the tapes afterward.

Americans have made it really plain what they want to see done and in the case of SS, Medicare/Medicaid.

[tridim]

13. Uhm, they are applauding HIS idea to cut Pentagon spending.

What the fuck are you talking about?

You have gone off the deep end.

[nc4bo]

14. If that were the case then no one would have applauded at the wealthy paying their fair share

of taxes. They were applauding the idea that military and Pentagon spending should be cut. Period.

It's the exact same shit every American with any common sense has been screaming about since this whole austerity crap started.

[nc4bo]

16. and you don't have to be so fucking rude. nt

[tridim]

19. And you don't have to be so rude to the only person in America who wants to solve our problems..

and has the power to do so.

Deal?

[nc4bo]

20. Are you ok? I realize we're all high strung these days but geezus.

Seriously. Because I darned sure don't know why you're so hostile towards me for reporting what I just saw on teevee.

:shrug:

[tridim]

22. Reread the post I responded to. nt

[nc4bo]

23. Sorry your point must be lost in cyberspace. nt

[demmiblue]

24. Translation: she/he is irrate with you because she/he thinks you dissed Obama. n/t

[nc4bo]

26. Well that'd be fine if I had a personal problem with POTUS, I don't

seems like a nice guy with a good heart and all but I do have problems with his policies.

I guess that's a crime these days.

[demmiblue]

27. It certainly seems that way. n/t

15. Definition of a defense spending cut

In 2011, we bought 5,000 of these missiles. In 2012, we were going to buy 6,000 of them, but because of my brilliant budget cutting, we're buying only 5,900 missiles. It's a cut, it is! And at $50 million a missile, buying 100 fewer of them is a savings of $5 billion! Savings, I tells ya!

[nc4bo]

18. Obama was not specific on what cuts. People were not specific about their applause except

that many felt we spend too much on warmongering.

At least that is what I got out of it.

[gratuitous]

21. Sorry for the misunderstanding

I did not mean that my definition of a defense budget cut is unique to the current president.

[Armstead]

25. Listening to him is making me nuts

Same old stuff, and "reasonable" to the point of meaninglessness.

[shireen]

28. pissed off ...

at MSNBC and CNN! They cut away from him! At a time like this, we WANT to hear our president make his case!!! Apparently, these two cable news channels don't think it's important! :mad:


edited to add - i emailed both of them about it.
