Obama Refuses the Bait

And the love fest from George continues.

George – you really should get off your Obama-Cloud to feel what the real earth feels like. ..Obama fighting a cold…
Do you really think America cares about that as being news-worthy with the crisis of this outrageous Congress and President is causing? GW Bush made our country’s deficit higher – but Obama is making it higher and higher – I would think he would put this in reverse – no spending – isn’t that what he was chanting – Change?
Obama could care less about we citizens, with the exception that he wants us to make a paycheck so he can tax it for his government spending way beyond our means.

The stock market goes up. Thousands of employees are laid off. What makes Wall St happy makes Americans lives harder. Kind of a cruel irony and also a heavy insult to hard working Americans. Of course unemployment will lag all the stimulus. Hopefully it will rebound but not before destroying people’s lives. So – we dumb working schmucks get up, dust ourselves off, and try again. We peer into the future worried that this may just happen again and again. Greed has not been vanquished. It is hiding just around the next corner.

Still glad I voted for him.
Back in the day, and it wasn’t that long ago – when TV was interrupted with “Breaking News”, it meant that someone had been shot. It really was news. The weather report hadn’t yet become “THE STORM DESK!!!!”. People weren’t constantly screaming on TV, reporters didn’t cry (if you can call Glenn Beck a reporter, or anything close) they actually reported news and didn’t try to entertain us at the same time, they were there to inform.
Obama, for some reason, takes me back to those times. Calm, measured responses, and a sense that his administration has a handle on the problems, but it’s going to take more than a week. We screaming idiot masses are still only going to wait a week for results, but we may be learning.
And I’m VERY glad that we’re not subjected to Vice President Palin at this time.

H-T-T:”I would think he would put this in reverse – no spending – isn’t that what he was chanting – Change? ”
No. And I am frankly AMAZED that you think that was what he was running on. “No spending” was quite explicitly, clearly MCCAIN’S platform. Obama equally explicitly, when asked point blank, rejected it as even a plank. Were you in the country for the campaign – it really seems you didn’t catch a single debate, platform whitepaper, or even bumpersticker.

George. Please. Settle down. I voted for the man, but you are sounding utterly ridiculous. Take a cold shower or something.

Didn’t I hear something about Cheney recently undercutting Obama overseas calling Obama a “lightweight” to the Israelis? Hmmm. It looks like a lighter hand using intelligence works far better with international affairs than the forceful fist and threats the Bush/Cheney administration liked to slam on the table. Obama is taking America in the new direction of building allies instead of enemies. He is doing exactly what we voted for. Those of you that don’t want world peace and a strong economy just keep on complaining. Fewer and fewer people will be interested in your rhetoric.

geecee – you are exactly right. Obama is a LEADER, something that has been sorely missed during the last eight years of GOP dictatorship. He will bring America back to greatness even with the Neo-Cons biting at his heals trying to bring him down.

Obama this , Obama that blah , blah , blah blah ! poor little brains….
Like children , they believe everything the Obamanation media say. And cheezee George drools just by hearing his name..

republicans are reduced to being absolutely insignificant .
painful ,isn’t it?
YOU GO MR OBAMA , CONTINUE TO SERVE UP THE WELL DESERVED BIG STEAMING PLATES OF CROW TO THE NAYSAYER OBSTRUCTIONIST CONNIVING REPUBLICANS!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
REPUBLICANS WHINING CRYING MOANING = MUSIC TO MY EARS!!
GOOD TIMES!!!!

WOW! The neocons are really feeling the heat! What are you going to do when the economy recovers under YOUR President Obama? Maybe you can eat some crow with your whine cause he saved your sorry ___!!

Mr Obama is a living endorsement for the diplomatic approach.
Even T. Roosevelt knew that big talk just makes others tempted to test and provoke.
Mr. Obama does indeed speak softly ,but don’t be fooled. Like democratic President John Kennedy , this democratic president is likewise no pushover (just ask joe lieberman…)

Whoever voted for this man can definitely be proud.

Ummmm republicans , would you care to comment on the last 60 days of dow jones activity? – Comment by hal 2000
hal,
The market has only done well for a couple weeks or so. It would have continued down if Obum & Geithner hadn’t gotten a clue and dealt with some of the concerns of the market with some ‘Concrete Proposals’ (as opposed to just their naive philosophy).
However, if they don’t stick to speaking to the ‘Real World Market Concerns’ (and stop cheating on their taxes) it could go back down (where it had been heading during most of O’bum’s proposals).

Da Truth , you OBVIOUSLY aren’t able to tell fact from fiction to begin with.
Too much Fox “news” (aka propaganda) most likely.
Sit back and enjoy the ride ,it could and probably will be long and very liberal now that you of the republican peanut gallery are reduced to being (insignificant )pimples on the usa body political, and for good reason.
WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO IT’S OVER!! THE REPUBLICAN TYRANNY!!
REPUBLICANS ARE ON THE RUN!!!
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOOOOOVE IT!!

I seems like Obama was apologizing for being American at the summit. To me, that’s not the best way to represent.

Let’s see, who put the ADULTS back in charge???
Oh yeah, WE DID!!!!!
That was the most masterful press summit and press conference today I’ve ever seen. As great as Obama is at home, he’s 1000 times better abroad.

Please , do you want some cheese with your whine. If you don’t like what the president is doing then you should run for and win the office. Otherwise shut up. You sat backed and let Bush and his boys screw up the country and said nothing. Now you are looking for miracle. Let the man do his job. You fell asleep for 8 years why the heck are you waking up now. Go back to sleep for another 8 years and when you wake up the country will be in much better shape then how the Republicans left it.

People can’t borrow their way out of debt, so why do people think that the government, who can’t manage to do anything right, make it happen. Answer? They can’t. Bush started the debacle, Obama will finish us all off.
Oh yeah, I’m angry all right. And I voted for Obama. I guess I’m the stooge.

You guys realize that any economic recovery ISN’T due to anything Obama has done. His stimulus money hasn’t made it into the economy yet and we’re beginning to see some early signs of recovery. Why are we then spending our children into oblivion?

Before the election so many Republicans were donning tights and black face make up and pretending to be black women who didn’t like Obama. Now they are all saying they voted for him. Oh G*d you people are lost.

In about five months, unemployment will start to go down.

I was a Republican who voted for Obama and I am proud that I did. He has made me proud! President Obama is doing a wonderful job and we can begin to see a very small turn around and confidence in the market..I cannot understand for the life of me how people expect the government to address the current situation without putting in some money to stimulate the economy! The folks who are criticizing do not give any alternative..they just criticize..How do you stimulate an economy without investing some money in the process? Can one of you wise anti Obama blogger explain that to me?

jamie
If Republicans are so irrelevant then why do ‘You’ feel the need to respond every time (checkmate).

Obama is going to be the most successful American president..because he is by far the wisest,most intelligent, and most articulate. Even some Republicans who have interfaced with the man exclaimed that he is smarter than Bush by leaps and bounds..even Gates the defense man intimated that…Obama listens and learns from the experts..Obama admits when he makes a mistake and promises to do better next time..not like Bush who never admitted mistakes..I never understood that one because no one’s perfect..Obama builds consensus..and is good at negotiations..with give and take..look how easy he and the Russian president were able to come to an agreement. The guy is simply the best! Now you Bushites and Republicans eat your heart out! I use to be one..No more! That party is for the rich and those who pretend to be rich! The Republican party has no sound domestic policy and focuses too much on trying to boss the world. This is a new age! America is not the world! America is part of the world.

@sngeorgia
The problem I have with some of these Obama criticizers is that they criticize what he’s doing but gives no solution or alternative plan. These are people who are still hurting from the loss in November and who get their political marching orders from the likes of Rush(the commedian) Limbaugh and Sean(insanity) Hannitty.

H-T-T Hoover tried cutting back on spending in ’31 and the bottom fell out of the economy (that was low at the time but holding steady). FDR spent a lot but the recovery stalled in ’36 when he gave in to repubs and tried to balance the budget. WWII came and increased spending (on nothing that would be used except once) and the economy boomed. Peacefull spending gets something everyone can use and booms the economy.
When you want to get all ditto-head on us please do a little thinking first.

Cover your butt?

@SanityMan
Empty heads are owned by Bush,Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannitty

Andrew…You guys realize that any economic recovery ISN’T due to anything Obama has done. His stimulus money hasn’t made it into the economy yet and we’re beginning to see some early signs of recovery. Why are we then spending our children into oblivion?
Is it not a little early to start the Republican congrats speech. It is always the same speech. The Republican screws this Country up and soon as a Dem comes into office and turns things around “well it is just the way the economy works…it has nothing to do with the President”. Blah,blah,blah….You guys would rather rot in hell than give credit where credit is do. Do not get me wrong though, we are far from recovering…we have miles to go. So again I do not understand why you are already starting the speech up, atleast wait 4 to 8 years.

stanley…….these neocons are Haters. I’m going to buy them a case of Haterade….so all the hater nation likes of Rush as in drugs, O’Reilly, Hsanity, and that Glennut can drink some more. These people are still angry about the election, and praying that this president fail for their own self-serving reasons. But..they call themselves Americans……how sick.

Frank…… what about Blago? Obama was never a local insider…..he always had his sights on changing something instead of being part of something. No matter how you wingnuts searches….it’s not there! I’m from the Southside, Bronzeville that is…and President Obama always took on the mess no one else wanted. I met him in 1991 and his focus/platform has never changed……just trying to make it a better world.

RushisATool,
You coulden’t come up with a better eXcuse than that!

No, Clinton handed the “Dummy” a 526 billion dollar surplus, and he and the ‘master’ that led him around on a leash for 8 years squandered it. Then robbed the nation, while they defocused the American people on the toll of 2 wars….screwed that up, and then paid the Sunnis to keep the violence down, so they could have a ‘brag’ piece called a legend. Now the Sunnis is saying they haven’t been paid, and they’re not protecting anymore. What is wrong with these neocons…….they must have a ‘pea’ brain….something is not Connecting. Maybe too much Meth, Oxy, Mountain Dew?

Why all you anti-Obama folks just go take a nap. I’m tired of your negative crap. You’re just a bunch of poor losers anyway.

We are not out of the woods by a long shot, but congrats to our Prez, who is making some good moves and making us friends again in the world at large. I think this scary time is bringing about some much needed changes in the way Americans live their lives and view the world around them. I know I will never take prosperity for granted again, and I will stay involved, helping people who have less every way that I can.
For people who denigrate and fear Obama, I say let a little sunshine in. We all need some very badly.

I thought Tapper’s question was a good one for Obama. I have to agree, he is doing much better at answering questions without being obvious he is not answering the question. A great skill for any politician.
As far as all the chatter regarding the radical ends of the political spectrum, please continue. Those of us in the middle (we used to be called the “great silent majority”) find the banter quite amusing. If only we could harness all that hot air for something useful, like raising vegetables or powering cars.
On a serious note regarding the budget and the economy, Obama’s success will probably translate into liberal votes in the midterms, for obvious reasons. However, Obama’s failure will probably bring about moderate successes in the midterms. I believe the country will have had enough failure from those who govern from the political poles. I’m a Republican, but I have to admit, Clinton did a great job of governing from the center (well maybe slightly left of center).

Maybe we do need all this social spending that’s being crammed down our throats. Maybe if those of us who believe in hard work and our own merit have to pay more and more taxes for schools that really do teach, and for back-to-work and other retraining programs, people like [name withheld] could learn to spell and write grammatically correct comments. Then they would appear at least thre-quarters baked. “Whinining???” Isn’t that what horses do?
George, my opinion of you is declining rapidly. Remember the last time you had a man-crush on a POTUS, and spouted all these wonderful things? Remember what happened? History could repeat itself. With “journalists” like you’re becoming, the White House should bail out the networks and pay your salaries, too. This post is really over the top. I’m sorry – your bias is completely out in the open on this one. At least Donna Bazile was up-front right from the start. When you’re asked to grade debates and press conferences in the future, there is no way that you can claim to be objective.

Obama and the Democrats on Capitol Hill have relegated the Republicans into the abyss of irrelevency for a while. With things so quickly looking up (Cantor’s already snivelling about the Dems having “overstated” the economic crises), the party of whining and carping but no new ideas is dead in the water.

“….YOU GO MR OBAMA , CONTINUE TO SERVE UP THE WELL DESERVED BIG STEAMING PLATES OF CROW TO THE NAYSAYER OBSTRUCTIONIST CONNIVING REPUBLICANS!!!”

The leader of the new BAM party (Bankrupt America Party), has yet to keep one promise he campaigned and has put this nation in more debt in a matter of days than the last administration did in 8 years. Any crow being served should be fed to anyone who voted for this.

It is sooooooooooooo refreshing to have a leader representing us once again!
A man with grace, humility AND intellectual curiosity, that carries the mantra of “listen first”
It is indeed a new day for our great Country and by direct extension the World.
Well done Mr. President!

Obama is either wonderful or there is a vast left wing conspiracy to make him seem wonderful. Republicans appear to be in a panic for some way to criticize him that sticks. So far not much luck in make their complaints about him gain any traction. If the economy turns around the GOP will be sunk.

A lot of “Peanut Gallery”, knee-jerk, Emotionalistic, ‘Irrational’ Acorn Nuts in here.

Obviously Obama is keeping his promise of bringing the country together..just look how posters like “Every” have a new understanding of the right.

Geogre, were you hit in the head as a child?
