Daily Danet Liveblogging Presser: To Stand or Not To Stand?
12:20:03 PM: New Post: Daily Danet Liveblogging Presser: To Stand or Not To Stand? – http://is.gd/1asyW #tcot #tlot #sgp
12:21:33 PM: Just in, presser moved to ensure Chris Matthews didn’t faint in presence of Obama.
12:25:03 PM: FNC has panel, Bill Samon, Juan Williams and the Man, the Myth, the Legend, Krauthammer.
12:25:52 PM: Krauthammer making the same point about Obama still inviting Iranians to July 4th ceremonies with blood on their hands.
12:26:26 PM: http://is.gd/1arDx (Iranian thugs still invited to Obama’s Fourth of July BBQ)
12:30:37 PM: NO TOTUS!
12:31:05 PM: Shocking turn of events. President will appear without his chief lieutenant, TOTUS.
12:31:53 PM: @JakeTapper on FNC. Accidentally.
12:32:31 PM: threats, beatings and imprisonments? What about shootings and deaths?
12:34:22 PM: This is what he should’ve said last week and on Friday. I hope it’s not too late for Iranian democracy.
12:35:37 PM: Carbon pollution. What a tool.
12:36:23 PM: “Jobs that can’t be shipped overseas?” Wow, he’s a lying machine.
12:37:00 PM: Says costs will be borne by polluters. Sure, they’ll never pass that on to consumers of power, plastics and products.
12:37:22 PM: Maybe these are the same jobs that are “saved or created.”
12:38:08 PM: Obama: Obamacare to be paid for through savings. NO NEW TAXES. Sure it will.
12:38:44 PM: Lies again about people being able to keep healthcare. CBO says current plan will force 10 million to lose their plan.
12:39:22 PM: Status quo unacceptable, except for the 10 million who will be forced to lose healthcare so other can have it for free.
12:39:41 PM: Good q: How much blood on their hands is too much?
12:40:40 PM: Obama: no one can be told what democracy is. Iran has to pick red pill or blue pill.
12:41:48 PM: Obama punts on whether there should be consequences for what Iran’s gov’t has done.
12:42:54 PM: HuffPo Iranian blogger pass through: Can you accept Iminadinnerjacker as legitimate leader?
12:43:18 PM: Obama: hazy, shady, maybe. We didn’t have pollsters on the ground.
12:44:21 PM: Oh good, we can say there are international norms. We can’t do anything about those norms, but we can talk about them.
12:46:08 PM: “Regulators didn’t do what was necessary to prevent crisis.” Yes. Had they, crisis wouldn’t have happened, dummy.
12:49:51 PM: “We’re not expanding Fed’s power, we’re just giving them more authority to resolve issues.” Does he hear himself?
12:50:24 PM: O picks FNC and Major gives it to him: What took you so long to speak up on Iran?
12:51:23 PM: Obama flubs question on Fourth of July barbecue.
12:51:43 PM: This is not the 4th of July BBQ I once knew.
12:53:58 PM: Iran is “inconsistent with international norms,” but health care is “unacceptable.” #obama #iranelection #tcot
12:55:48 PM: why should gov’t provide health insurance for those who decide not to buy it on their own?
12:56:51 PM: Obama mentioned sad case of women with matasticized breast cancer. Would medicare have helped her? I doubt she’d be covered.
12:57:20 PM: More lies about employees not having to change healthcare. CBO says 10 million employees will be forced out of current plan.
12:58:19 PM: Obama thinks that Government plays fair in the marketplace.
1:00:17 PM: Ouch, more “timid and weak” comments from press. Were you influence by McCain? Whaddayouthink? {laughter). [Methinks yes]
1:01:11 PM: Youtube edited clip tomorrow: “The CIA is behind all this.”
1:03:27 PM: Obama on Iran: “we don’t know how this is going to play out.” that’s weak.
1:04:42 PM: @jaketapper so sorry to see you’re sitting next to Helen.
1:05:57 PM: On Iran, Obama won’t condemn the govt, b/c, as I said Mon, he’s expecting them to survive and still wants to talk. That’s not leadership.
1:06:52 PM: I think Obama missed @jaketapper’s point. Gov’t plan will be cheaper b/c it sucks, and ERs will pick it b/c its cheaper.
1:07:08 PM: that will drive for-profit insurers out of business.
1:08:58 PM: Yesterday’s post on why Obama is so wishy washy on Iran: http://is.gd/19yvA
1:10:21 PM: “I sure as hell don’t do it in front of Michelle…”
1:10:56 PM: “I can’t stop smoking, so I will make it illegal for others.” Hope-ocrisy.
1:12:39 PM: Does he have to call them Chill-A?
1:13:20 PM: It’s like a mid-market news presenter with a latin last name, who rolls her “r”s
1:13:37 PM: …but only in her own name
1:16:08 PM: Hans hits Obama on his 8% promise, asks if we need a second stimulus.
1:18:06 PM: here we go, saved or created.
1:18:41 PM: Twain said, there are 3 types of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics. The fourth is any statement by Obama.
1:19:53 PM: Obama shocked to learn government is slow, inefficient and doesn’t actually solve problems.
1:21:37 PM: Better q: have more African American jobs been “saved or created” than non-African American jobs?
1:24:08 PM: Obama on Neda “heartbreaking”. Seems genuinely moved.
1:24:36 PM: Helen getting uppity.
1:26:03 PM: “We have to believe that ultimately, justice will prevail.” Sure, but usually it helps if the US president stands behind.
1:26:59 PM: FNC panel. I always feel dumber after hearing Obama. I always feel smarter after hearing Charles Krauthammer.
1:28:24 PM: Disagree with Charles, I don’t think Obama actually realized that State made the offer re: 4th of July BBQ
1:29:01 PM: I agree it’s a gaffe and should be changed, but Obama seemed to be caught unawares.
1:30:44 PM: Samon noting that Obama is too disaffected re: #Iranelection
1:32:02 PM: wrapping it up. My take home point: healthcare is “unacceptable,” Iran is “inconsistent with international norms.”
