Title: LIVE: Obama News Conference
Post by: Chieftain on August 06, 2014, 10:17:17 pm
He's speaking at the end of the US Africa Leaders Summit, and he may take a few questions.  More likely he'll avoid commenting on anything serious.

Developing....

Just a passing reference to first responders being dispatched to the ebola outbreak in West Africa.

Utter bullshit.  Lots of talk about what needs to be done but this is a bunch of hot air that isn't going to do anything about the real problems that are ongoing.

President Obama: "The American people don't want me just standing around, twiddling my thumbs."




David Limbaugh ‏@DavidLimbaugh 6m

I am so tired of Obama’s outrageously ludicrous claim that congressional opposition is a justification for his usurpation of authority.

If Putin is watching this news conference, has Pres Obama said anything that changes dynamic or even gives Putin pause? No

On executive authority, Obama positions self again as aggrieved compromiser. Polls today again show public isn't buying it

Geez! This is just painful to listen to.  He's babbling and has that deer in the headlights look in his eyes.

This happens every single time he gets off is forced off of the teleprompter.

There are at least three countries in Africa that are in a state of near collapse over ebola, and he's babbling about how big the US footprint cannot be in Africa....

The way to avoid terrorism is to make sure everyone feels they have a stake in society? He is POTUS & doesn’t understand why terrorists act.

Not one mention about two star general Harold Greene, nothing about Tahmooressi. Pathetic Obama, pathetic press lap-dogs.

The Commander-in-Chief ends his evening press conference without a single mention of Major General Harold Greene.
As of this writing - there been no official statement from the president on the assassination of the two-star general.
And President Obama still has not mentioned the US Marine being held prisoner by the Mexicans.
Compare that to the lavish adoration he bestowed upon Beau Bergdahl and his family.
