Mark my words, the Democrats will wake up in the middle of next year, and wonder why they didn’t find an alternative candidate to Obama. He will lose to Romney in next year’s election, but by the time the American left realizes it, it will be too late for come up with a fallback plan. Mark my words.

That is a way interesting behind the scenes Look Tommy. But not as interesting as this:

“Sarah Palin’s poorly-named documentary The Undefeated premiered last night in a whopping 10 theaters around the country, but that may have been too many because in Orange County, California, no one showed up. Literally. The area is a bastion of conservative politics and Palin herself visited the affluent OC as recently as October, but when Atlantic editor Conor Friedersdor attended the premier last night, he “sat through the whole movie alone.” Friedersdor reflects:”

When do the chosen ones submit their questions for Carney’s approval ?

Why so many still photographers ?
We know what he looks like .

Do they actually give you a juice box ?
I bet Bill Press brings his own juice box flavoring .

STOP with all these campaign speeches already. We all know every statement Obama makes has an expiration date attached. Gitmo, Afghanistan, Iraq, wireless searches…DUH !!

Hmm, this pic must be photoshopped. No knee-pads in sight.

Appreciate the insight Tommy.

Is Chuck Todd standing on a booster stool?

Actually, very interesting. Thanks for the insight.

A long-running tiff between the White House press corps and the West Wing over presidential access flared anew today when press secretary Jay Carney faced off with reporters over the right to shout questions at the president during debt talks.

Obama chafes at the time-honored practice of answering questions shouted at him during pooled, non-press conference events — and his staff has often opted for “stills sprays,” excluding print reporters or TV cameras who might capture Obama in the less than flattering non-act of snubbing a query.

When asked today why TV crews and print reporters were barred from the pool covering the White House meeting with congressional leaders on the deficit, Carney responded by pointing out that the administration has held two press conferences in the past two weeks and allowed TV cameras into the spray earlier this week.

“People shouted questions at him,” Carney said. He then added, “The purpose of the meeting is not to create a circus, but to negotiate, so today we’re doing stills only.”

Politico

Everybody knows this White House expels more methane than any previous administration, of course it’s a storm, it’s a sh!t storm! LMFAO!

Anybody seen Steve Urkel lately?

Why would anyone waste his/her time going to an Obama press conference? Democratic Party talking points and views are given constantly by MSNBC, PBS, CBS, CNN, ABC, NBC, the NYTimes, and the Washington Post.

Where as Skippy Snarkaholic Chip Reid? On vacay?

Intrade lets you bet anything you want and Romney is a 7-1 dog. So go put five grand on Willard and you will get $35,000 if he wins.

Really, do it – I want to short the idiot.

Who were those people interrupting Obama’s speech ?

It is only interesting to you. Who friggin’ cares? Why the obsession with Palin? Seriously, it is spooky.

Bush renovated the Brady Press Room in 2007, but it still looks completely inadequate.

What approach did Tommy take?

A. Played devil’s advocate by challenging Pres. Obama on the wisdom of tax increases in frail economic times.

B. Confronted the president over his failure to define “rich” as anyone who can afford a competent hair stylist.

C. Queried POTUS about Republican malfeasance and “abject hatred” in their failure to accept tax increases.

D. B and C.

Most days, it’s fine, although it does have the feel of a cross between an airline cabin and a sci-fi set.

The press asked some tough ones this morning … “Mr. President, rumor has it Eric Cantor kicked three puppies on the way to the Capitol this morning. What is your opinion of people that kick puppies?”

Thanks for an inside peek Tommy. But didn’t the press corp used to stand when the POTUS entered the room?

Thanks for an interesting look at the White House press corpses (spelling intended).

We did the first time or two, but in the briefing room, it interferes with TV and still shots of his entrance. I think we still do for East Room/Rose Garden pressers, where there are risers for the cameras.

Tommy, would you or someone ask him where he got his stat that 80% of American’s want taxes raises?

It’s 80% that want to cut tax subsidies for the wealthy.

Yoda,
Can you post a link that backs up Obama’s claim that 80% of American’s agree with his debt proposal plan?

King Obama lives in Bizarro Leftyworld .

“Just 34% think a tax hike should be included in any legislation to raise the debt ceiling. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 55% disagree and say it should not. (To see survey question wording, click here.) ”

Lantern, if only Tommy, Jake, or someone else in that room had the journOlistic integrity to call him out on his lies. What a disgrace!

If any of them asked a real question , they would never be called on again .

An April 29 Gallup poll found that only 20 percent of people believe the budget deficit should be reduced only by cutting spending; 76 percent say that higher taxes must play a role.

Yoda, Lanterns is much more recent. Let’s go with that one.

From every recent poll. Even 67% of Republicans think you have to tackle the debt with a combination of cuts and revenue.

You asked for a poll that the president was talking about. To be fair the president wouldn’t have even seen the rasmussan poll since it was just taken.

Kitty, I love how all of a sudden you libs stopped using the work TAX and started using REVENUE. HAHA, you all read the same talking points.

ps, you’re using an old poll too. Why are you guys ignoring the most recent ones?

That poll is pretty useless. There are only 5 questions, and they don’t offer enough choices. If someone asked me “As part of legislation to raise the debt ceiling, should congress and the president raise taxes?” I would say no, because I don’t think the debt limit should be held hostage by either party. We already voted (through our elected officials) to spend the money.

It also doesn’t specify what kind of tax increases. Ask those same people about loopholes, private jets, oil subsidies. Poll after poll shows that Americans favor raising taxes on those who have taken more out of our economy.

is chuck todd super tall, or is he standing on the chair?

“but several sardines had to be escorted out due to panic attacks” hehe

HAAH, I thought the exact same thing. How about how much these job creators put into the economy. Liberals are clueless.

Here’s a poll where 98 out of a 100 get to put somebody elses skin in the game. Take the same poll and throw in that everyone would have to contribute and those poll numbers flipflop.

That’s an even older poll than Yoda’s. And based on a totally different wording. And asked of all Americans, not registered voters or likely voters. (If someone is not even registered to vote, his opinion is probably uninformed, but at any rate meaningless.)

Obamo looks very sullen, more irritable. His eyes are dark.

We’re sticking it to the Man and it’s about time someone stuck pins in this Voodoo doll.

Tommy Christopher said:

That sounds like a good idea. Suppose we start with all that stimulous money that was spent to increase government sector union jobs, pay, pensions and benefits, that went a long way toward changing the balance of income from the private sector to benefit government sector jobs. It used to be if you wanted to make a lot of money you worked in the private sector and if you wanted security, you got a government job. That all changed in two years to where government jobs now make more money AND have more security!

Lets also say that the money and benefits they got were an “advance” against future income and they get no more until the private sector recovers. They have already taken their share from the community.

Does anyone else think the American public could learn just as much (perhaps more) if President Obama (or President Bush for that matter) held their press conferences in a room full of political science majors at a local college or university?

Technically that wouldn’t be a press conference. It’d be a Town Hall.

Of course some of the same outlets may carry it, but the reporters would still decide what parts they’d like to highlight for their reports and without direct media moderation as we get closer to the election, it’d become harder for them to determine whether it’s a news or campaign event.

I was just waiting for Breitbart to pop up and do a quick Q&A.

Did they have to ask CNN’s Jessica to keep it down?

All these re-porters (intentional) in one room and not one cogent question.  Thanks msm for your assistance in bringing down the Country.  You should be proud of yourself and your profession.

Obama may lose, but it will not be to Romney. In fact, Romney may be one of the few candidates who could allow Obama to win. His professional career at Bain capital was successful through creating unemployment lines as the result of downsizing companies. He was 47th out of 50 governors in job creation during his term as governor. He has flipped and flopped on nearly every key social issue just in the last five years!!! He has poor charisma about as bad as Tim Pawlenty so he is not a very likeable candidate. In fact, for the reasons stated he is a complete loser of a candidate. It will be so easy for Democrats to brand him as incoherent and inauthentic. Smart money in the GOP is still waiting for a more formidable candidate to emerge.

That’s what I was thinking.
