Obama Chides Media Over Budget Debate: ‘Let’s Face It, You Guys Are Impatient’

video
» 89 comments

During President Obama‘s press conference today in which he addressed yesterday’s federal budget presentation, the tone turned a tad contentious between the President and reporters in attendance. The normally cool and calm Obama seemed frustrated with the suggestion made by NBC News’ Chuck Todd that the administration was ignoring recent bipartisan goodwill to effectively cut deficit spending. Obama bristled “If something doesn’t happen today, the assumption is that it isn’t going to happen.”

Obama set the tone of hte event by opening his press conference by making a statement on the Federal budget (transcript via National Journal)

“Before I take a few questions, let me say a few words about the budget that we put out yesterday. Just like every family in America, the federal government has to do two things at once. It has to live within its means while still investing in the future. If you’re a family trying to cut back, you might skip going out to dinner. You might put off a vacation, but you wouldn’t want to sacrifice saving for your kids’ college education or making key repairs in your house. So you cut back on what you can afford to focus on what you can’t do without. That’s what we’ve done with this year’s budget.

After taking several questions about the budget (and his oft stated desire to use a “scalpel versus a machete”) as somewhat exasperated Todd seemed to basically call bullpucky on what seemed like inconsistencies in the presidents rhetoric (if not policy.) Todd asked:

Everything you’ve talked about: tax reform, the entitlement reform, two parties coming together, just happened in December in your fiscal commission. You had a majority consensus to do all this. Its all been shelved. I guess my question is, what was the point of the fiscal commission if you have this moment, where you have Tom Coburn, your conservative friend in the United States Senate sign on to this deal. Judd Gregg was also on this deal. You had Dick Durbin your good friend from Illinois…everything you just described in the answer to Chip and the answer to Ben just happened…why not grab that?

A frustrated Obama somewhat lashed back, saying:

The notion that it’s been shelved I think is incorrect. It still provides a framework for a conversation. Part of the challenge is here is that this town let’s face it, you guys are pretty impatient. If something doesn’t happen today, the assumption is that it isn’t going to happen. I’ve had this conversation for the last two years about every issue… whether it was on health care, Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, on Egypt. — we have had this monumental change your last three weeks. Why did it take three weeks?

  • Annie Oakley

    No wonder Obama hates press conferences. When he’s speechifying, he can “soaring” rhetoric that someone has written out for him on a teleprompter, but when reporters are asking questions, he shows his incompetence and lack of specifics on both domestic and foreign policy. To all reporters, after listening to him for an HOUR, what specific information did you get?

    If the GOP wants to win in 2012, have Obama do LOTS of press conferences and use the debate format with him- the twenty-somethings will look at him like he’s been possessed. They don’t have a long attention span anyway, and Obama is no longer “new” or “fresh” or “cool;” he’s last year’s news.

  • Obeezy

    Something hasn’t happened for the 2 years you Obama has been in office and the 4 years the dems controlled both houses. Now he wants to get serious? Didn’t he say the way to save money was to spend more money? He is wrong on almost every issue he tackles

    It should be DOA in the House of Representatives, who instead must produce a FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE budget that massively cuts spending, agencies, departments and personnel of the federal government.

  • More Liberty4

    Sorry to say, but President Obama is a moron – or just a crook. he doesn’t intend on making in real cuts. He doesn’t have the %alls, will or political capital. Nor does he really want to. But the Republicans, with the exception of a few black sheep like Ron Paul, don’t really have the will either.

    We simply cannot sustain these types of deficits or the huge growing debt. Even the guy that runs the Treasury, oh and can’t figure out Turbo Tax, had to tell President “57 states” Obama yesterday that out interest expense we use to service our huge debt will double.

    The empire will fall.

    Oh on a side not, isn’t Colby the senior editor? If so then how come he can’t spell “the.” The first sentence of the second paragraph “Obama set the tone of hte event by.” How come editors can’t catch this?

She has been tied to patient dumping in Illinois, and got a cushy job because her husband was a state senator. A no-job at that. Now she wants to burden our schools with union “doctors” of nutrition for our fat and lazy kids that we must provide health care for until they are 26!

    0bama and his latest scam is getting kids in college, so that he can extract money for their bogus educations for the rest of their lives.

    First the liberal clowns gave us “home ownership” for all with scams that put people who could not afford a home in a home, and then backed the imminent failures with tax payer money.

    Now they want to subsidize college tuition to support more government indoctrination by liberal clown professors offering pieces of paper called degrees that burger flippers will pay for through garnishment and predatory collection practices until the government get its fees with penalties and interest in paid in full. College tuition has went through the roof ever since the benevolent government began subsidizing worthless college professors, and their liberal institutions of blame America propaganda.

    Read about the coming education bubble that this clown is trying to perpetuate. Fannie and Freddie were just chump change.

They want a guy who’s president. Women like a guy who’s president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It’s simple. We’re not like the Brits.

    Our President does make an important point. The Brits elected a plurality of Tories to Parliament, and the Tories, characteristically enacted an austerity program. That program has resulted in a steady decline in GNP and a steep rise in inflation in the UK. Build any program with care.

    Of course, the Republicans may want to get back in W’s and Big Dick’s Vista Cruiser and drive us off the economic cliff again. The Weeper of the House even said outright he didn’t care if jobs were lost in an austerity program. Just today, he said that.

    I love how liberals and neocons always claim that by trying to balance a budget and live within our means is “dangerous” or in kings mind “erratic.”

    Now with Obama it’s only getting worse. We’ve never had such deficits, and our debt is growing even faster than when the Neocon supreme GW Bu$h was in charge. You and I both know that we are never going to be able to pay off this debt. These politicians know it, and keep delaying the inevitable since they don’t want to be the ones to make the tough decisions.

    Oooh!

    Obama lecturing His Media like a teacher to her students.
    Can there be trouble in paradise?

    If there’s one thing the Democratic Media likes less than Republicans, it’s being told they are wrong!

    So Obama is throwing another tantrum, so what else is new? This is the same condescending tone he uses towards the American people and towards politicians who disagree with him. Now that he is using it against his MSM “darlings” it is big news.

    Not to worry, he will be kissing their asses again in 2012 and they will fall right in line.

    Hey Colby, don’t you think it’s hilarious that Obama went off teleprompter today and promptly flubbed his lines and said “shit” instead of “share”?
    I bet if you posted that video, it would drive alot of traffic here.http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/02/15/obama_drops_s-bomb_at_presser_on_budget.html

    i agree – he tends to try to engage people into circular arguments that go no where. i tried, but he doesn’t want to discuss, he just wants to keep you running in circles.

    Interesting article – I figured it would have been headlined by the “S”word, rather than the impatience Obama showed at the media, but alas, it’s kind of like “corpse” “57 states” “my muslim faith” and other gaffes that the media will ignore when hehimself speaks them.

    Can you imagine the headline if this has been a presser with Bush or any republican President? It wouldn’t have read this one reads, that is for sure.

    I’m not so sure we won’t be able to pay off the debt. People said that about Roosevelt’s alphabet agency spending. Paid off. People said that about the first true American budget deficits Raygun ran up. It took almost a decade, but Clinton paid them off. We do need to reduce the deficits. This is not arguable. I see nothing our President is doing that will address that. I see nothing the Republicans are doing that will address that. I see nothing the Tea Partiers are doing that will address that. All want deficit reduction to rest on 12% or so of the budget. Democrats want to spend for education, health and jobs. Republicans and Tea Partiers want to reduce tax revenues whilst spending on wars and corporate welfare.

    What I don’t want is a ill-founded frugality to result in jobs losses and a double dip recession. If that happens, you’re right, the deficit will not be paid in our lifetimes.

    It’s Republican victimization all over again. No wonder Boehner weeps as he does.

    You are a liar.

    When Clinton took office the debt was $4.3 trillion. When he left it was $5.7 trillion – he didn’t pay off anything. What happened was him and the idiot Newt forced each other to not run deficits.

    LOL…it’s funny how you tell such lies.

    Obimbo’s idea of cutting spending is removing college student loans for summer school? Cutting an already overburdened student loan program with loans for summer school is in Obimbo’s view, a drastic cut?! How about forcing students to pay back their loans, and making those loans at an interest rate that helps keep the program afloat instead of sucking more money from taxpayers. How about shutting off all student loans to illegal aliens. How about cutting the spending 10% annually across the board. Everybody’s ox gets gored, no exemptions.

    Wait, here’s more, son!

    On G.W. Bush:
    And that’s the president looking very much like a jet, you know, a high-flying jet star. A guy who is a jet pilot. Has been in the past when he was younger, obviously.

    He won the war. He was an effective commander. Everybody recognizes that, I believe, except a few critics.

    ~Tingles Mathews

    Also, the press covered for JFK’s love life? How about Slick Willie’s? Have you met Gennifer Flowers? No, how about Paula Jones? Oh wait…..MONICA!! YES!!! Look everybody a dress with semen on it! AWESOME!!!

    I could literally keep this up all day. I’m sure you can do the same thing finding stories supporting your claim of a liberal bias. It’s all just crap and it’s terrible. The press is literally failing America. And I suppose we fail ourselves by feeding into it….wait…what’s that? Beiber didn’t win last night? WTF!?!?!

    Six months observation in the best hospital you can afford would do wonders for YOU, son.
