>the man comes out on TV, in prime time, lays out what he wants to do, and is now taking questions from the press

Uh doesn't every politician do this?

>>3091877
I was watching him interact with a crows, one on one for thirty minutes today.

Either this mother fucker is the anti-christ or this is a Cinderella story in real life. This guy is good.

I think we made a great choice.

I don't think he was expecting a question about Iran

i keep forgetting he's president

this Iran answer is amusing

>>3091913

its weird. now that bush is out i don't feel like i need to keep an eye on politics.

>>3091896
bush was a fucking ostrich when it came to televised press conferences, much less prime time.

That fucking nigger is interrupting house.

Agreed, it's nice to have a president, though I may not ally with him on all or most issues, that can communicate the goals and views of the current government.

oh snap "bad habits"
he just destroyed that question

>>3091913
When I heard he was going to be on I thought, "Obama got an hour in Prime Time? Wow, how'd he pull that off?"

Then I remembered the campaign is over, HE'S THE MOTHER FUCKING PRESIDENT.

what channel? britfag here. wanna watch some obama. lads at work keep saying hes good

Well, if the stimulus bill passes, I'm going to blame congress just as much as his administration for it.

If that shit passes, I will RAGE SO FUCKING HARD. HUGE ASS MOTHER FUCKING RECESSION IN TEN-FIFTEEN YEARS? DO NOT WANT.

He really needs to drop the "uh" crutch.

>>3091980
Whether you agree with him or not, only a dumbfuck ideological moron would say that he is a bad speaker. The man is a complete 180 from bush in terms of public speaking

>>3091981

recession in 10-15 years> collapse of the U.S. economy.

>>3091992

He has said "uh" exactly 4 times in the past ten minuets. Chill out...

>>3091999
uh-List-um-en-to-ah-without-um-a-tele-ummm-prompter,-er-or a-ahh-unwritten-ummm-speech.

He's not that great a speaker.

>>3091981
Possibility of huge-ass recession in 10-15 years > Depression now
My only problem with the stimulus is that its not all that it can be. Every dollar should be squeezed for every job it can get and I don't think this bill is going to accomplish that.

>>3091999

you mean 360?

CHUCK TODD. WHERE'S CHUCK?

I am growing to hate him for his refusal to track down and wipe out Bush lackeys. You know why Germany has come so far since WW2, and Japan is still a Banzai away from regressing to an empire? Because only Germany bothered to clean itself of the shit left over from the previous leadership. Nazis still worked in the government, of course, but they were constantly told that the old ways were not only unacceptable, but evil.

Bad leaders dont leave a government just by stepping down . They ooze corruption over everything they touch.

>>3092001
Sup retarded guy, how's it goin'?

You do know the recession after the stimulus package is going to be worse than any condition we could ever get into now, right? Either a mild bump in the road now, or a huge fucking problem in the future. The U.S. economy is going to be fucked either way, I just don't want ignorant niggers saying "OH LAWD ECONOMY WAS SO MUCH BETTA WIF OBAMA, HOW DIS HAPPEND?", economic relapse is inevitable right now, remember that.

CHUCK TODD MOTHERFUCKER STAND ON UP. THROW YA SET UP, TODD. THROW YA SET UP.

MSNBC

He's...

stealing, my...

vocal STYLE.

>>3092025
Nice and selective. Let me guess, people who bash bush are just jumping on the bandwagon and have no real reason for it

He gives long-ass answers

>>3091896
Not the last one.
He practically disappeared save for mandatory appearances.

>>3091981
Show me your Phd in international business!

>>3091992
>>3092025
See, I find the "uhhh" thing to be kinda comforting. Makes it feel like he's thinking about what he says BEFORE he says it. You know he isn't gonna pull any of that "is our children learning" shit.

So yeah, I'm happy with Obama. He almost makes me kinda proud of my country. Not in a 'MERICA FUCK YEEEAAAAHH kinda way, but still.

>>3092053
Listen.....just because he talks, uh.....like William SHATNER......doesn'tmakehimanyworseofapresident.

>>3092083
He never says in one or two sentences what he can say in a paragraph. I'm not complaining. He's not Bush.

"Hurf durf, we're gonna smoke em out."

>>3092098
I'm pretty sure it was "childrens do learn"

tl;dl

Obama's stimulus will make everything ok for the next 10 years, but then it'll get far worse then it is now. The thing is by then Obama will be out of office, and the recession will hit the next president who will be made to look like an idiot because of it. Obama will come out of it looking even better.

He lays out bullshit that idiot Americans gobble up.

WHAT A GREAT GUY.

>>3092107
I'm not complaining either
I think they're interesting, and it's been so long since I haven't had to cringe every time my president spoke

>>3092111
Hell, it could've been both.

>>3092098

Pauses > Uh's

Anyone who thinks he is a good speaker has never heard a good speaker. Or just a hope blind Obamabot. I voted for him, but not for his speaking skills. Regardless, its far superior to dubya, but that's not saying much.

>>3092050
Chill man, I was simply noting that people are more inclined to better weather a recession if they feel there is a force (the stim package) at work to eventually end the period.

The package is as much a mental solution as a practical one, people crying out for SOME form of solution to the economic turmoil. Its passage would be a message to America that the government is active in attempting to curve or at least control the damage done to the economy and the american people.

>>3092046
Yeah, because debaathification in Iraq worked wonders, right?

>>3092115
Just like after the great depression

He is certainly intelligent, but this fucker is interrupting House with his little press conference. And he thought people wanted him dead before....

>>3092134
You're forgetting he is black. The average black person writes and speaks one correct word out of every 500. Obama is the Jesus of the black race, while in comparison is just slightly below the average white person.

>>3092140
People were too busy killing each other to clean the government. And things are actually improving now. They just got their first tourist since 2003, and so far he hasnt died or anything.

>>3092146
You need to move to the west coast

FUCK THAT FUCKER FOR POSTPONING MY HOUSE

GODDAMN IT

>>3092136

I know, I know. It's just the fact that America needs a lot of money for the stimulus package, and it's money we won't be able to repay. We'll be taking money from people to give back to the people, however, we'll be taking money from those who are financially stable which in the long run could possibly screw them over. We'll have to tax the shit out of everything (see new cigarette tax) and it's just not going to end well. My biggest fear is that China will call us out on our debt within the next 20 years, and then we'll be ultimately fucked. I just wished that politicians would be more upfront, and warn the public of at least the POSSIBLE down sides of these sort of things. That way we wouldn't blindly support bills such as this.

>>3091952
>>3091952

I know right? What the fuck Obama, House is what made Mondays not fucking suck. We made the wrong choice. Fuck.

GIMME DEAD SOLDIER PICS NAO

Get this fucking nigger off my tv. I already know he wants to spend more money.

>>3092169
...

You realize house isn't being broadcast this week at all. Anywhere. Right?

Uhhh...

He maintains the modern American political trend of vague, question dodging answers...

Why? WHYYYYYYY?!?!

House > President nigger

>>3092115
Ronald Reagan did it, why can't Obama?

>>3092214
I don't give a shit about house

>>3092118
Having charisma gets you a lot in life.

>>3092098
Only a blind partisan could spin crappy public speaking as a quality.

House is a shitty sitcom with a fake atheist. enough with the bawwwfest.

>Afghanistan
>base used to launch 9/11 attacks

Respect for Obama just plummeted.

>>3092115
I have never heard this before. Please explain to me why.

>>3092252
I know
it was clearly Iraq

Spending bill? They have a word for it.

fox news trolling the press conference

30% failure rate. Hell, that beats 4chan to hell.

<Obama> LOL FOX NEWS

>>3092296

heh.

FOX should be banned access to press conferences. They will never ask a legit question.

>WHAT IS YOUR OPUINION ON STEROIDS IN BASEBALL

What a stupid question.

>>3092249
Better than watching a nigger spending more of our money.

WTF are you guys talking about with the "uh"s?

Being a good public speak doesn't mean being a seamless extemporaneous speaker. It means being able to give a good, written speech (which he clearly does well). Beyond that, with respect to his answers, he says "uh" but anyone would do that, provided they are thinking about what they are saying. It's not the case that if you put fillers in an extemporaneous answers that you're a bad speaker

You guys are fucking dumb and have no idea what you're even talking about

FUCKING SPORTS ANALYSIS?

IN MY PRESS CONFERENCE?

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUU

>>3092042
If you honestly think Obama has the same speaking ability than George "I fuck up the English language" bush then you really must be drinking the koolaid. You dont have to agree with obama, i sure dont, but to think that his talent for public speaking is on par with bush means you are the biggest incompetent fagot on earth. Do yourself a favor and grow up past all this red vs blue rhetorical division and see things for what they really are

And people are surprised some call him elitist?

WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS HE TALKING ABOUT GODDAMN BASEBALL WHO GIVES A FUCKING SHIT?!?!

JESUS CHRIST MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS BROKEN HOW DO I FIX IT??

FUCK YEAR HELEN THOMAS

>Do you know of any countries in the Middle East that has nuclear weapons.

inb4 he purposely doesn't mention Israel, but mentions Iran and Syria

Who the fuck is that disgustingly old bitch, and why the fuck is she asking BaRock a question?

I didn't watch the conference. Did he respond to the criticisms, i.e. some of the items in the spending bill being called frivolous and not creating jobs?

To the people saying "lol this bill fucks us 10-15 years down the line" - this is a way to buy time. Obama has 8 years to work on the US economy. The hope is that this type of stimulus is only a temporary patch, and can be fixed properly in the future.

But something fucking needs to be done now, so he's doing it. Bush fucked shit up HARDCORE. Fucking jesus christ. He was worse than incompetent - his policies were actively just about as universally pisspoor as could be.

>>3092046
Comparing the Bush Administration to the Nazis or Imperial Japan is a little much, don't you think?

>>3092322
>Being a good public speak doesn't mean being a seamless extemporaneous speaker. It means being able to give a good, written speech

Isn't that called being a good writer?

DURR HURR HE'S A NIGRAAAA FUCKIGNG KILL HIM FROM A TREE NIGRA NIGRA DURR HURR DE HURR

DUDE, OLD LADY DRACULA

Huffington Post? The fuck?

>>3092328
no, people were pissed that being labeled 'elite' was somehow turned in to a bad thing when you are talking about THE MOST IMPORTANT FUCKING JOB ON THE PLANET.

fucking morons think being the best at something is a negative.

AND HOW THE FUCK DOES HUFFPOST GET SOMEONE IN THIS? FUCK THEM.

Mmmm, delicious accountability. You must eated it.

>>3092376
Don't forget the Tal-Ee-Bahn. Sure beats nuc-you-lar, though.

>>3092369
no
being able to write a good speech is called being a good write
being able to give one is called being a good speaker

dumbass

wtf are you even comparing his speech to. Do you see "good" speakers and think their words aren't already written out

Who give a "good" extemporaneous speech? Do you have even 1 example?

dear faggots, he isnt "reading" from anything when he answers questions. therefore he is an intelligent speaker.

>>3092400
Man, you're a poor "write."

>>3092369
Not samefag

You honestly think most people do not prepare most of their speeches in advance? To say "lol, it was written before hand" means that you think the last 7 decades of American speaking was nothing more than just "lol, check it out, i am reading or memorized what I read"

The place you live where nobody ever has written out a speech beforehand does not exist anymore and it merely means you are bashing him on a meaningless technicality rather than an actual intelligent reason

>>3092417
phew
you almost looked like you had no idea what you're talking about and got destroyed by my argument

>>3092407

dear dumbass, we are commenting on his speaking STYLE (its not particularly good) not his intelligence.

>>3092364
>The hope is that this type of stimulus is only a temporary patch, and can be fixed properly in the future.

Except...it can't be properly fixed...Money has to come from somewhere broski, we don't have the amount needed.

Also, I'm not terribly worried about it, every country goes into recession after a war, but god damn, we've survived every other time without anything close to a stimulus package, why change things now?

>Obama has 8 years to work on the US economy.

The U.S. Constitution says you're wrong. It's not a given he'll be elected again.

>>3092400
But how are "speaking" skills demonstrated by simply reading a pre-written speech?

>>3092428
commenting idiotically

>PLEASANTLY SUPLISED!

lol weeaboo

that thing he just said about tax cuts was pretty funny

SPEND MONEY OR OUR ECONOMY WILL NEVER RECOVER!!!!

>>3092441
because he is speaking in public and not obviously nervous
Have you ever had to speak in public? Are you good at it? Did you write it out first

seriously, you don't even know what the terms you are talking about mean. Just stop. You're too dumb for me

Thank god they're still showing Heroes today =]

>>3092427
I'm indifferent on the issue. I find your desperate grasps at seeming intelligent amusing, however.

>>3092471
I'm glad you're pleased

"Doing nothing is not an option."

Actually it is, and is in fact the most effective thing the government could ever do. Fuck your stupid bills.

>>3092436

>Except...it can't be properly fixed...Money has to come from somewhere broski, we don't have the amount needed.

That's why you fix the economy. That's where the money comes from. broski.

>Also, I'm not terribly worried about it, every country goes into recession after a war, but god damn, we've survived every other time without anything close to a stimulus package, why change things now?

Because of how badly the Bush administration fucked shit up. It wasn't just one war. It was a whole slew of catastrophic policy decisions.

>The U.S. Constitution says you're wrong. It's not a given he'll be elected again.

True, it's not a given. But if he does a decent job, it's pretty certainly his to have.

You have to remember that Bush stopped being president on September 1st really, I mean he didn't make speeches in public much, didn't talk to the press at all.

These feelings of "Fuck me, Obama is president" are stemming from the fact that we havent had one for a while. Plus he's really good.

>>3092345
And what would be the point in mentioning that? To make Arabs feel better? Or to make pro-palestinians feel better because "Oh wow he said something not in support of Israel - they're so nasty and evil, trying to kill people dedicated to their destruction."

"Oh look he said Israel has nuclear weapons, obviously he knows because America is controlled by the Jews. This is good - now we should develop nuclear weapons with impunity because a small nation threatened with annihilation that has never used nuclear weapons against Arab nations is obviously the Small Satan. Allahu Akbar."

What the fuck do people want or expect Israel to do? There's been nearly a half dozen times the past one hundred years Palestinians have dropped the ball on a two state solution, rejecting it because they don't want Israel to exist at all. Israel isn't blameless, they frequently go overboard in reaction to Palestinians, but if you were an Israeli having rockets fired at you - WHAT THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO?

People like you don't understand war.

He should've left with "lata niggaz."

his answers were roughly 7 minutes long each
amazing

THANK YOU GUISE

*fuck this shit*

>>3092191
China will never call in US debt, because ruining the US would ruin them even worse. They rely on US trade far too much. That, and the possibility that the US would just say "hey fuck you, I ain't payin".

>>3092457
I'll stop, but only because you're a fucking idiot and there's no point discussing things that your partisan fever keeps you blind to.

>>3092524
not because you can't answer any point that I've made, I'm sure

you are pathetic, guy

>>3092523
>:((((((( EXTERNAL DEBT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY

OMG OMG OMG WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING NOW OR ELSE EVERYTHING WILL BE FUCKED UP

THE MOTHERFUCKING SKY IS FALLING AND WE NEED A JILLION DOLLAR 2X4 TO HOLD IT UP SO WE CAN THINK JESUS MOTHERFUCKING CHRIST PASS THIS SHIT OR ELSE WE WILL DIE

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE EVERYTHING TO GAIN

lose everything....or buy into this "painless gain"

it is the standard argument of a con man

everyone panicked and rushed into iraq

now everyone's panicking and rushing into hundreds of billions of dollars of debt

>>3092507
>what would be the point in mentioning that?

Because that's what she asked you fucking dipshit. When someone asks a question, you fucking answer it. Jesus tittyfucking Christ, are you dense? Is everything a political spin to you? What's your fucking problem, man? What's your fucking problem?

>>3092540
I know. He was using out and out scare-mongering today. Guess we won't be seeing much change afterall.

lmfao, he sure told the Republicans and Libertarian faggots

History has proven, time and again, that government spending stimulates economic growth and prosperity.

>>3092491
Ah but is seems your solution to this problem is spend more, worry less. Though I could be misinformed, it's just you're expounding the matter in that sense. The stimulus package will help the economy for a short period of time, though it's not like it's going to give us magic trillions to spend on other problems. Even after we fix the economy we'll still be in a state of debt, we don't have the resources to have anything work in the long run right now.

True, the Bush administration did nothing to help our situation, but they didn't do a bad job either. Personally I've hated our congress the past 10 years, so I'm not expecting them to pull anything worthwhile out of their asses.

If the Obama administration does happen to fix this in a conventional manner, I will praise the man as if he was a God...Though that is a rather large if.

>>3092482

The same exact way you could have a great voice actor speak lines from a book or radio drama as opposed to someone who is a terrible voice actor. Writing and speaking are two completely different skills. Thomas Jefferson was an amazing author or many important documents, but he was a terrible speaker. Hitler was not a very good writer but an amazing speaker.

>>3092613

oh lord i loled and now i feel as guilty as if i fapped to gay porn

>>3092626
and the republican party. And the green party. And the socialist parties, and everyone else that isn't a libertarian.

>>3092524
You're a fucking moron. He's right, public speaking is not about making up something on the spot. Every well delivered speech is prewritten, practiced, and structured.

mmk this isn't even a real political debate... you see for this to be open for discussion its VERY important for the opening to make since "Like him or not, we made the right choice." this isn't true if i didn't like him (and i don't) then i wouldn't believe that we made the "right choice"

THIS JUST IN

BARACK OBAMA CHOSEN TO BE VOICE OF TAKESHIDO KAMEN IN A NEW REDUB OF SAILOR MOON

>>3092673
Obama would be the best seiyuu ever

The cutest thing is when reporters on CNN just call him "Barack"

and then they kinda blush and say "Barack Obama... PRESIDENT OBAMA"

I've seen Anderson Cooper do it like 3 times.

>>3092659
i wasn't asking your opinion, i was giving mine. the fail is yours for thinking i (or anyone) gives a shit about what you think.

>>3092686
you just made me fap to anderson cooper

A trillion dollars is a terrible thing to waste.

>>3092648
>Every well delivered speech is prewritten, practiced, and structured.

Ergo, Obama's speech was not a well delivered speech.

>>3092686
It shows what huge Obama cocksuckers they are.

AHAHAH THE DUDE WITH THE MUSTACHE ALMOST SAID


ARTICULATE

>>3092714
1) you're dumb and clearly didn't understand the context of that guy's post
2) the beginning part (the part that was written out) was perfectly fine... well-delivered, even

>>3092719

Nah it's cause they feel like he's familiar... like you could just call the nigga up and shoot some hoop, then cheel in the crib and watch Good Burger.

>>3092728
JOKES ON YOU BITCH. I NEVER EVEN HEARD THE SPEECH!

>>3092735
oh man I fucking love that movie

>>3092714
Ergo you are a cynical dumbfuck who thinks that magically, people dont think about, or even write down what they are going to say before hand. Im so sorry if it makes you rage so when a nigger become president, but to stretch so hard to grasp straws just so you can discount that he IS actually a good speaker is so painful to see. I guess winston churchill, berry goldwater, and MLK jr must all be complete dumbfucks who were only reading instead of really speaking.

>>3092786
> I guess winston churchill, berry goldwater, and MLK jr must all be complete dumbfucks who were only reading instead of really speaking.

No, they were good speakers, unlike the nigger.

>>3092799
Be happy the nigger can speak english at all.

>>3092799
But they wrote down their speeches beforehand! OMG, they are terrible speakers cause they thought about what they wanted to say. You are an irrational and cynical twit. I dont even like obama, but to think that he is a bad speaker is honestly pretty fucking stupid

Man it'd be fun as shit to watch Good Burger with Obama.

THIS STIMULUS PACKAGE IS LIKE TRYING TO FIX YOUR CREDIT CARD DEBT BY TAKING OUT A LOAN

FUCKING STUPID

Oh noes! Only government can save the US.

Fuck. That.

Jesus christ, you people are retarded.

economies are dumb, destroy them all and revert to hunter-gather acivilization nyoro~n

yea i watched it. i guess all we can do is wait to see what this stimulus thing does and some of his other plans. of course the amurcan people will have to help this along too.

>>3092905

Nothing makes me rage harder than this level of stupidity about economics in this current economic situation. Why you fucking faggots have decided to remain ignorant of what's going on is beyond me.

For the last fucking time: This is not like taking out a loan to fix your credit card debt, this is like securing additional revenue streams (eg, get another job) and investing that money in your own business/your companies business (if you were in an influential position within the company).

Not that you should be comparing government to a regular person, or the free market to international monetary policy - those two things work differently. Bonds do not necessarily devalue when they suddenly move in big numbers (shares devalue if for instance, someone dropped a lot of them at once), and governments have a different relationship to money (eg, they can get it for free from you, they don't have to work for it).

ITT: faggots parrot back things they've heard on TV that they think they understand, but really don't.

They just pick a party that closest resembles their lifestyle and agree with whatever it says.

Pffft, he's just a jew wearing nigger skin. I honestly don't know how he can manage to scarf down so much jew cock in a day.

No matter how badly the stimulus fails Obama will still get credit for fixing the economy, even if he doesn't fix it at all.

>>3093056

sounds like a lot of words just to say they're going to print money like pokemon cards

>>3093056
What? You are the fucking retarded one.
You realize that every dollar they print off that press, is another dollar that is going to directly inflate the economy?
Spending money on such a grand scale is never good.

Sure it's going to help stem our deflationary period, but if you push it way too far, it's going to turn into hyper-inflation.
This irresponsible passing of bills spending trillions of dollars (yes with interest and other costs this "823 billion" dollar "stimulus" package, is going to cost us over a trillion) isn't going to help us much.
You're fucking retarded for believing it will, look at the loans given to the American car companies, did those help at all?
No.
They are probably still going to have to file bankruptcy. We wasted what, 20 billion on those companies, now for nothing.
