I COULDA HAD A G-8!!
EmailBuon giorno from the G-8 summit L'Aquila, Italy, a place rocked by a devastating earthquake and aftershocks and a major sex scandal involving the host, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
He, President Obama, and the 6 other leaders of the G-8 world powers will today discuss the global economic crisis, aid to Africa, food security and climate change — we expect President Obama to herald the recent passage of the climate change bill in the House.
At tonight's political dinner, the leaders will discuss what to do about Iran and North Korea's nuclear weapons programs, and hold a wider discussion about President Obama's April speech in Prague on eliminating nuclear weapons worldwide.
Our GMA preview:

L’AQUILA, Italy (AP) — World leaders agreed that the global economy is too shaky to begin rolling back massive fiscal stimulus plans right now, according to a draft of the Group of Eight statement on the world economy obtained by The Associated Press.

Today’s NYT-
“Mr. Obama seemed tired here, several times fumbling the pronunciation of Mr. Medvedev’s name and Mr. Putin’s title. Beginning a speech here, he mistakenly said he first met his wife in school instead of at the law firm where they actually met. And he mistated his younger daughter’s age”
It seems there may have been a malfunction in the implant.
One would have thought they had fixed that after the ’57 states’ comments.

Timmy are you still going to fix the economic crisis by waving your magic wand? Good for you.
Timmy . . . it is not a joke or a parlour game. Real people have lost their jobs, their homes, factories are closing, primary resource industries are suffering.
The ‘stimulus’ money, much of it, is provided simply to assist those who have lost their jobs. It’s there to shore up state and local budgets so that police, fireman and health care people don’t have to be laid off.
You may think it’s a big joke, but those funds are helping thousands of people.

Exactly. The early parts of the Recovery and Reinvestment program directed large quantities of money to states and local governments to avoid as many of these layoffs as possible.
The number of layoffs of police, fireman, teachers and health care workers that would be occurring without this action on the part of the Obama administration would be far, far more dramatic . … and destructive.

“A major food distributor announced that it will significantly expand its West Sacramento headquarters by building a new 77,000-square-foot building to house a freezer and distribution warehouse that will result in the addition of at least 75 full-time jobs.
“The new center will allow the company to serve the entire California market and expand its product supply. The 75-year-old, family-owned company operates from a 143,000-square-foot facility on 25 acres in the city. It has been expanding through customer growth and business acquisition.”

Timmy …
The Recovery and Reinvestment plan is not AT ALL intending to take the place of business enterprise. One of its’ prime purposes was to supply some support for people losing their jobs, and to support states and local governments so they can keep as many policeman, fireman, etc as they can despite the fracturing of their budgets.
This additional money in the economic environment also allows private business to not have to cut back nor lay off as many people. And in some sectors of the economy things can actually move forward.

That is exactly right Jen. That is exactly where a large amount of money has been targeted. That you expect it to save each and every position is living in a fantasy world.
This is the real world. State and local budgets have been CRUSHED in this recession/economic crisis. The Recovery and Reinvestment funds can not top up every budget, nor save every job – and it is unrealistic to expect that.
Never did I say every job would be saved. I said the idea was to save those jobs.

Yeah, one prong of the Recovery and Reinvestment plan is to provide funding to States and local governments to prevent the layoffs of as many police, firemen, teachers and health care workers as possible.

If you’ve seen the President interviewed – and there are a number have been posted right here – you’ve seen he is very detailed, informed and articulate. Check it out.

But let’s not let lizzie get away with a lie on top of that.
Joe the plumber’s helper spoke to Obama on Oct 12th.
He debated John McCain 3 days later.
And of course he has held more press conferences already than Bush had his entire first year (perhaps first two years)

Your late. Long staff meeting?
I’m impressed about the speech writing. Had to Google to find it since you don’t bother to identify your quotes. I guess you must be teaching us knuckle draggers how to research stuff, or something.
But I am glad you cleared that up. I was also under the assumption (don’t go there) that someone else wrote his speeches. Could be hands on – could be his narcissism. Who knows.
I like this part of the TIME article, too:
“Obama knows well the power of a great speech. When his campaign came under fire before the Pennsylvania primary for controversial statements by Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama delivered a historic speech on race that changed the conversation and stemmed the attacks. This time around Obama needs to turn the conversation away from him—where it has lingered the last month, producing worrying poll numbers for the Democrats—and on to the issues.”
And the wheels of the bus go ’round and ’round.

I should have said “personally” explain. He actually did hold some press conferences and I’ll be sure to find out how many if I can.
So where in the President’s Oath of Office does it say he has to personally hold press conferences? I’ll be looking that one up to.
I’ll have to repeat myself below because you cherry-picked one sentence out of my post. Danita says that’s not fair.

“”Mr. President, we’re seeing some turnover and some change within your administration, and I wonder what it says about what you think is necessary to turn your presidency around at this point?”
The president responded with: “I think it’s necessary to continue doing — to achieving results for the American people. We’ve got big challenges for this country and I’ve got a strategy to deal with them.”
Bush then cited off a laundry list of current issues to deal with, ending with, “So there’s a lot to do today, but we’ll continue to be results-oriented.”
But Gregory spoke up again: “But I asked you about your internal changes and what that says about how you think things need to be changed. They’ve been very public, your internal changes.”
Responded Bush: “Well, David, I’m a results-oriented person, and my job is to achieve things for the American people, positive results that make us more secure and more prosperous. And of course, I will have people by my side that work toward that objective.”
Bush then quipped, “Thank you for your penetrating question.”
“Thank you,” responded Gregory.
The president joked, “Plus, I’m not going to hire you, if that’s what you were suggesting,” referring to the hiring of Fox News contributor Tony Snow. The remark caused laughter.
Said Gregory, “I was not suggesting that,” causing more laughter.
Bush ended the exchange with, “I would, except you can’t pass the background check. Okay, an unnecessary cheap shot, I take it back.”"

it is true that Obama has good speech writers (Favreau etc) but it is also important to remember that Obama’s key slogan “Yes We Can” was plagarized from the Chavez/Heurta United Farm Worker agitation decades ago and then, more recently, was taken up as a mantra by the illegal alien protestors. Originally, before Obama “adopted it” (some might say stole), it was “Si Se Puede”. Interestingly Obama’s team did seem to use the original “Si Se Puede” chant when appealing to illegal alien voters and first generation Hispanics in certain states.
Posted by: Ed | July 8, 2009, 7:16 pm 7:16 pm
In the Queue – add full amnesty for all illegal aliens. Obama has already targeted that as another ‘crisis’ that MUST be fixed THIS year, crucial, cannot wait, right along with every other problem in the world.

Oh gee, Timmy, you’re right!! What WAS I thinkin’?? Maybe because its ONLY BEEN A FEW SHORT MONTHS (H/T danita), the Obama Administration got a little carried away and felt they had to help us out a little. Just lookin’ out for the little guy.
Besides, since we all know its crucially important to do all the stimulus spending the year AFTER the recession – THE WORST RECESSION SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION (h/t Obama), they’ll have a lot of chances to come up with more fake numbers NEXT year. That’ll work well AND save us all some money too, since they’ll be doing all that traveling and speechifying then anyhow, what with the elections and all.
