Take Two Town Halls and Call Congress in the Morning

Does he ever work in his office? I thought the campaigning was over. Typical politician.

Mr. President, I feel very assured seeing you work so hard for the good of America and your positive loving image as our first family.

“Mr. President, I feel very assured seeing you work so hard for the good of America and your positive loving image as our first family.”
“Mr. President”? Didn’t you mean to write “Dear Leader”? No? Oh, I’m sorry…I read that and thought that I had wandered into the North Korean edition of Political Punch.

In Obama’s midday presser, he used California as a great example of how the rest of the country would benefit from cap-n-tax. I admit to being a little shocked that he would use a state that is on the brink of bankruptcy and is issuing or will begin issuing IOUs because they are broke. But hey. California, here we all come.

Really? Please provide the ACTUAL QUOTE that supports your hypothesis that he was pointing to California as where cap and trade will head America. He did point out how cap and trade would help their economy, but I strongly suspect your paraphrase is a blatant lie. Why don’t you post his actual words and let those reading decide?

Guess the ABC debacle was a big BUST so Dear Leader has to have more time to spread his propaganda. I won’t be watching. It was hard enough to watch the first hour of obfuscation and lies from this “president.”
Romney/Palin in 2012!

“This is what passes for intelligent political discussion? Fortunately most Americans don’t even see this sloganeering and insult here, and those that do see through it for what it is.
Smear and fear attempts.”
Yeah, you wouldn’t want “most Americans” to see what people outside of the left-wing controlled media are really thinking and saying, would you? They might actually begin to question things or think for themselves.
But wouldn’t you be proud to have people see your work and how far you’re coming along in your training? A little Acorn growing into a sappy sapling.

You can call me whatever you want. I will call you whatever I see.
Using hate spamming, name calling and insults to smear the President is a different thing. Pity you can’t see that.

===You can call me whatever you want. ===
I’ve never called you anything. Or anyone else around here. I don’t use insults. But I get deleted far more often than you do. Go figure.

“If it’s already out there, I’ll see if I can find the actual quote. I’m not spending a lot of time looking for it though”
Yes God forbid you actually back up something you say.

You did it for me. Thanks. Saved me some time and trouble looking for the quote.

“And, now, just last Friday, the House of Representatives came together to pass an extraordinary piece of legislation that will finally open the door to decreasing our dependence on foreign oil, preventing the worst consequences of climate change, and making clean energy the profitable kind of energy. Thanks to members of Congress who were willing to place America’s progress before the usual Washington politics, this bill will create new businesses, new industries, and millions of new jobs, all without imposing untenable new burdens on the American people or America’s businesses. In the months to come, the Senate will take up its version of the energy bill, and I am confident that they too will choose to move this country forward.”
By Ryan’s logic, he wasn’t talking about cap and trade here either. He didn’t mention cap and trade, did he?

I think its good President Obama is doing these townhall meetings.
We all remember how President Bush would hole up for month after month at a time without holding even a news conference – that was his form of ‘communication’ with the people of the United States.
One does wonder if it’s politically wise for President Obama to be so accessible, but its admirable he is willing to come forward and face questions from both the media and the town halls.

Here is the exact quote:
“In the late 1970s, the state of California enacted tougher energy-efficiency policies. Over the next three decades, those policies helped create almost 1.5 million jobs. And today, Californians consume 40 percent less energy per person than the national average — which, over time, has prevented the need to build at least 24 new power plants. Think about that. California — producing jobs, their economy keeping pace with the rest of the country, and yet they have been able to maintain their energy usage at a much lower level than the rest of the country.”
Isn’t it interesting that he is touting California’s great job of cutting energy consumption WITHOUT CAP-AND-TRADE! So why must we have cap-and-trade?

James Danley:”Isn’t it interesting that he is touting California’s great job of cutting energy consumption WITHOUT CAP-AND-TRADE! So why must we have cap-and-trade?”
Republicans would never accept the top down regulation that led to California’s success at cutting energy consumption so dramatically. Cap and trade is the free-market approach. California used the central command and control approach (a rather large code set).

jordin . ..
surely you’re not blaming the Californian unemployment rates and the government budget problems on their energy measures . ..
do some research . ..

I’m glad President Obama is willing to hold news conferences to face questions from the media and at these town halls. It shows he is willing to put himself on the line with the American people.
Don’t forget President Bush would hole up for month after month refusing to submit himself to questioning at news conferences nor town halls. He refused to do anything but ‘issue statements’.
A marked improvement.

Danita? Face questions from the media? What questions are those, all the pretty not-so-hard questions that he has been given in advance?
How about he take some off-the-cuff questions from REAL LIFE AMERICANS who see their private health care become taxed if they do not belong to a Union, or their private health care choice disappear all together.
Some will in fact lose their private health care, all but those belonging to unions will be taxed on their private health care if they keep it and 35+ million will STILL BE UNINSURED.
Take a look at Hawaii dear, they had to do away with the universal health care coverage for merely children because it was bankrupting the state and people were abusing it.
Take a look at Canada-they are now seeing a rising boom in private health care because their citizens are tired of waiting 6months to a year for simple procedures like MRI’s or hip replacements for 45 year olds….the list here of course goes on-and-on-and-on.
But sure, I am sure most of Americans are stupid enough to believe that those hard hitting questions that the pretty little media will ask of Obama will be in the best interest of the common citizen………LOL
he could not even answer a surgeons questions properly-ABC had to give poor little Obama a commercial break so that he could gather as to how he could answer the doctors question.
