[truthN08]

HE wants to have a dialogue with Russia? Ummm last I checked he is NOT the POTUS.

[nc4bo]

5. I don't know about the rest of DU but I am beyond horrified at this *p* treatment..

[TwilightGardener]

[tekisui]

WTF?:grr:

[tekisui]

4. Notice he writes down the first question when asked a two-parter now!

HA!

[gateley]

15. Ha! I can't bring myself to watch him, so I appreciate you all giving reports! nt

[Pirate Smile]

6. Does every question include a dis or slam at Obama? I've heard quite a few

although I was interrupted during it.

[tekisui]

8. Is this his cherry-picked friendly press club?

[PatSeg]

7. I was just coming here to post that

On TV they have it as "Breaking News". I must have slept too long and McCain is now the president.

[nc4bo]

9. I heard they found BIGFOOT in North Georgia....

But, I thought he'd wait until his DNA testing was finished....:evilgrin:



Has Bigfoot Been Found?

Has the legendary Bigfoot been found? Two men from Georgia, Mathew Whitten and Rich Dyer, claims that they have not only found him, according to the Inquisitr, but have the body. A photograph has been presented as proof and the finders also claim DNA evidence.

Both the photographic evidence and what is claimed to be DNA evidence will be presented at a press conference in Palo Alto California. The press release, issued by the group claiming to have found Bigfoot, that accompanies the photo describes the Bigfoot creature as follows:

11. Gramps is claiming he has "long experience and knowledge" of dealing

with Russia. Well, we all feel better now, I'm sure.

[jillan]

12. You guys fill me in.

I can't stomach watching him, especially after hearing his twin this morning.

[nc4bo]

14. If there was ANY doubt that McCain=Bush, then let it be known right now...

that he is. Worse, the corporate whores are treating him as such.

[Born_A_Truman]

19. LIEberman & another McCain buddy are going to Georgia now...

guess McCain thinks he's the president. His presser is only missing the seal on the podium. Yes, he got a dig into Obama when a reporter quoted Obama's speech in Germany saying he was a citizen of the world. McCain repeated LIEberman's "I've always put my country first BS".

So far, no questions from the press about his lobbyist representing Georgia that I have heard.

[TwilightGardener]

35. WTF? Who pays for Lieberman to go to Georgia? McShit's campaign?

[me b zola]

13. "In the 21st century, countries don't invade other countries"

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that statement.

Also, I noted that McCain was not prepared/his camp hasn't figured out the talking points, on how to respond to Obama's remarks that McCain's hard-line remarks against Russia are not helpful--maybe making it more difficult to resolve the conflict peacefully. McCain side-stepped the question in an awkward manner.

[PatSeg]

37. I screamed outloud when he said that?!?!

Countries, except for the U.S., evidently. We're the only country that is exempt from every rule.

[me b zola]

38. Olbermann picked up on the grand irony of that statement

I've developed a tick every time I hear a republican talk about invading nations, peace, or the war crimes/human rights abuses of other nations.

[Mist]

16. Gramps is saying he'd have to "examine a proposal to be sure it's in

America's interests." Sounds like he thinks he's been elected already.

[nc4bo]

17. America is being played beginning: Week of 8/11/08. nt

[WeDidIt]

18. THAT ARROGANT PRESUMPTUOUS PRICK!

That is all.

[truthN08]

20. The press better hit him hard on this shit

What is there for him to review or consider he is NOT the fucking president. This is such bullshit. He actually said this isn't the time to talk about the campaign. Um then WTF is it he is doing having a press conference. He has lost his mind.

[WeDidIt]

22. If they don't, then Obama surrogates need to hit the press on being in the tank

for McCain.

[nc4bo]

29. Yes the do!! nt

[gateley]

21. I caved and tuned in. tekisui was right -- He's writing down the questions! nt

[nc4bo]

23. Question by Andrea someone from FOX NEWS :S nt

[gateley]

24. Was that the woman who said "people are so pleased to see you here" or something? nt

[nc4bo]

26. he's fumbling on the Catholic reporters' question and is fumbling. nt

[nc4bo]

28. yes, i think so.

[gateley]

25. He's been on a SENATE vacation for MONTHS! Fuck him! nt

[tekisui]

27. Two part question, Grab the Pen!

:rofl: :rofl: I bet the "reporters" have been trained to tell him it's a two-fer, as well.

[tekisui]

30. He was asked what he could do to show that he is serious about Russia's

behavior, since he ruled out military action. He said absolutely nothing.

[tekisui]

31. Cindy is there with her arm all wrapped up in a sling.

Poor ting.

[nc4bo]

34. All the questions are from right wing media reporters (or almost all).

Fox News, Catholic (something) LA Times, NBC news.
