This is the tail end of that Obama press conference with questions on NAFTA/Canada and
Rezko.

[pocoloco]

1. That's nothing compared to this!!

12. That's a rightwing site. What are you doing linking to it?

As much as I don't like the Clintons, nobody was ever able to prove any of the charges against them for being crooked, even after they spent over $70 million on the whole witch hunt.

Are they crooked? I'm sure they are as criminal as the bush family, and Mena, Arkansas is at the center of their criminality. But the right wingers were usually barking up the wrong trees to find the source of their guilt, because Mena, Arkansas would have implicated the bush family as well.

:kick:

2. I'm so dissapointed

I've lost my hope.

[libbygurl]

4. Just misplaced it? Or Hope has left the kitchen - getting too hot?

nt

[liberalnurse]

8. That is so good!

:applause: :rofl: :woohoo:

[qnr]

15. getting too hot?

Getting too hot? Getting too hot, you ask?

Someone get a fire extinguisher!! His pants are on fire!!

Run Obama!! Run!!

[BuelahWitch]

25. It went down the drain of the kitchen sink...

:hide:

[hamnose]

32. He handled himself well

This is exactly the cool headed manner we would want a candidate to have in a situation like this. Thank you poster, I wanted to see this for myself because I had read in many Hillbot posts that he stormed off and refused to answer questions. They probably hadn't seen it either. That didn't seem right and apparently it was just another lie. Like the other recent lie that the Obama's campaign reassured the Canadian government that he really isn't that critical of Nafta after all and is only telling this to American voters to get their support. Way to go Hillary. What a breathtaking change from politics as usual.

3. Looks like he was trying to dodge the reporters there....

...gee, a great big total of eight questions were answered, c'mon! That's way too much for anyone to answer, esp. if he's got more important things to do...like return to the campaign trail.

That last woman reporter really expressed frustration there.

Thanks for this, DT!

5. Hiding from this issue again..

will only draw more suspicion. I read the Chicago press core HAS NOT been able to get any questions answered for years now..from Mr. Transparency!! LIAR!

[underpants]

9. Yeah but he has the trump card-there is nothing here

I don't know if that is what he is doing but if it is it is GENIUS. Draw them in and then slam them.

[FVZA_Colonel]

22. But considering what's come up in the past on this issue,

such as the statements from the previous owners of the home and (I believe, the financial agent who helped them), there doesn't seem to be much there, if anything. Perhaps he's just embarrassed to have been friends with an admittedly scummy man, and there's nothing more to it then that.

[hamnose]

33. oh really?

"I read the Chicago press core HAS NOT been able to get any questions answered for years now."
Where'd you read that? the Drudge Report?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

6. Obama ran away from reporters in Chicago when he was a statre senator there too Rezko issue

[Sonnenschein]

7. The more you remove yourself from the press, the more the press revere you as a rock star.

[BlueIdaho]

10. Can you say tax forms?

Yeah - the Clintons know all about avoiding hard questions from the press now don't they?

[Donnachaidh]

13. oh tax forms is soooo much more important than Mr. Holier Than Thou and his

big old CLAY FEET being stuck in the cookie jar with his slumlord buddy? There's that Audacity of HYPE thing he's got his cult choir singing again. :eyes: :rofl:

[Seabiscuit]

29. ROTFLMAO!!!

"Mr. Holier Than Thou and his big old CLAY FEET being stuck in the cookie jar with his slumlord buddy? There's that Audacity of HYPE thing he's got his cult choir singing again."

Oh, maaaaan!

:rofl:

[Sonnenschein]

17. Why do you want to see Hillary's tax form? What law said she has to show you her tax form now?

[indimuse]

19. rezko...$$$

..

[Voice for Peace]

11. LOL he isn't avoiding answering.

This whole thing has been addressed already. Give it up.

[BigD_95]

14. How long

should he stay they there. Reporters are never done asking questions and he already answered them.


Great job Hillary! Now after the fork is in you tonight you just helped out the Republican party. She isnt a Dem she is all about herself!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

16. Chicago News ,,,Obama runs from reporters back then then too......link

20. the minute he opens his mouth

about this or anything...IT'S OVER...He knows it! He has not been OPEN press friendly. Hillary will speak to the press...gets her trouble sometimes..but she is a warrior..not a chicken shhit wimp!

[Yes We Did]

27. He just gave like an hour long press conferance 2 or 3 days ago.

How is that not "OPEN press friendly?"

[hamnose]

34. shes a warrior?

By that you mean a devious backstabbing traitor to her own party? That's practical, it gets you votes, shows lots of experience and it's not at all cynical. Hey when she was on the executive board of Walmart did she advocate for employee medical benefits? I suppose she was, as she is now, of the opinion that everyone must be forced to buy a policy from a private company. Any surprise why she gets so much in contributions from this sector?

[qnr]

35. a chicken shit wimp

LOL That is the funniest thing I've heard in ages. Haven't heard that expression in too many years. I agree completely. He is one. And thanks for the laugh.

[WDIM]

18. Who cares

This is a non-issue. He doesn't need to answer questions about it. It has nothing to do with the campaign. Its just dirt and spin by the media. I wouldn't answer questions about it either. I'm sure we can find plenty of unsavory "friends" of the Clintons.

[Plucketeer]

21. I agree!

What will he do in office? Could he be any worse than what we've got?

John Edwards! PLEASE - reopen your suspended campaign!

[WDIM]

23. nope

He couldn't be any worse then what we've had for the last 28 years. Reagan Bush Clinton Bush do we really want Clinton again. Lets at least try something new. Couldn't possibly be any worse. Even if he does nothing with his presidency except inspire people to be involved then he would be a successful president. And he has already shown that he can get people involved. Nobody has been able to inspire people that way since Kennedy.

[trevjr]

24. THIS IS A CHEAP STUNT

Play the last 30 seconds of anyones press conference and it will look like he is running away.
Lets see the last 30 seconds of a Hillary conference asking her about plagiarizing Edwards and Bill Clinton!
Run Hillary Run!

[Yes We Did]

26. He doesn't look "angry" to me

I keep reading that he tried to storm off, or ran away, or got angry... It looks to me like he calmly started to walk away, and came back smiling.

I don't see any anger coming from him. Am I missing something?

[butterfly77]

28. Why didn't these damn reporters...

open their damn mouths to bush like this for the past seven years? OH, I GUESS NOW THEY HAVE FOUND THEIR VOICES... They are so full of shit I have watched press conference after press conference with Bush and they sat there like a bunch weak little mice...

[RBInMaine]

30. He's on a schedule, and he's not going to be bullyragged by the

corporate right wing media. He has answered the shit time and time and time again. It's been debunked. These assholes just want phony bullshit scoops and bullshit headlines. Why don't they ask Hillary about every rotten piece of shit she's done over 35 years?? Why don't they ask her about her rotten tactics like shitting on Obama and embracing McCain? Why don't they ask her about how much PAC money she takes? Why don't they drill her about she's hiding her tax records and White House records???????? God damn corporate media sucks !!!

[graywarrior]

31. This is like seeing the Virgin Mary on a piece of toast

You can read whatever you want into whatever you see or hear. Independent thinkers, my ass.

[IronLionZion]

36. I suppose the full context or the full press conference is necessary here?

context is for wimps. Warriors post only the last 30 seconds.

:sarcasm: (for the keyboard warriors here)
