Why is Chris Matthews on live at this time of day. Also who was that reporter he was just talking to that didn’t get the memo that the debt ceiling may not be reached until early September ?
I am so grateful and proud of our President. These clowns are no match for President Barack Obama.
As for the little Ms. Welker, I pray that she will leave that post. She does not do POB and his Administration any goodness. I do not like her approach to this Administration. HZ
I’m so thankful and proud we have a First Lady and Second Lady who cares about our military men and women and their families. And they are doing all they can to help them.
“Now, for the first hundred days, Richard wandered in the wilderness of Washington, seeking the signs of the times.
Then the Pharisees came onto him, and certain of the Scribes, and the young men, who studied not-for-War, for they had read the Gospel of John the Leftist.
And the Pharisees asked: What of the Inflation ?
And Richard replied: Let me make myself perfectly clear on that point.
And the Scribes asked: What of integration ?
And Richard replied: Let me say this, and let us make no mistake about it.
And the young men asked: When shall we have peace ?
And Richard summoned his silent majority, saying “Gird up thy lines and battle with all thy strength, lest the Democrats return again!”
Let Ed Henry go to war first, and his wife next. Leave his children with his parents, along with all the members of the WHPC and let them fight on the front lines. Let the GOP congressmen and women who love war, be on that plane with the WHPC too, ready to fight that war they are so keen on. I bet the conversation about the war would stop immediately. #cowards
This is from 2 famously discredited, lying BS merchants from the past—Victoria Toensing and her lovely hubby Joe DiGenova—–bsns. as usual by FOX and disgusting to the max Ed Henry.
this is the fake benghazi story ed henry is amplifying at the press conference -> http://t.co/mIfon7pKXd
These questions have zero to do with seeking any kind of truth—–the reporters are just in some kind of demented contest on who can be the most obnoxious to the POTUS. It is a revolting spectacle. It’s gross.
I had to turn the TV off. I can’t handle listening to these stupid questions. These people have no concept of real life and what is happening to real people.
The WHPC are dumb clowns who do not deserve POB’s time or his brilliant mind. POB is a great President, and these clowns waste the Americans time by trying to make POB look ‘little’ in their ‘little crap s… minds. Excuse me, but that is how I feel.HZ
POB is kicking their arses on every question they are throwing at him. Remember, “Second Term Baby.” POB will do his job with them or without them. And believe me, he will make sure the American people know he is still trying to work with these jackasses.HZ
i agree HZ – he’s very cool. he’s got the 2nd term and there ain’t nothing these idiots can do. He’s done so much and will do more – he’ll go down as one of the greats. He knows it and they know it. They can try to throw a spanner in the works but he’ll beat them. He always does.
I actually took a deep breath for a minute Hopefruit to consider whether it was just a harmless joke, and maybe he intended it that way – but he must know damn well it’s just the kind of thing Drudge or any RWNJ would say. At the very best it was thoughtless and moronic. At worst, well.
This is just another example of the careless, thoughtless racism that permeates the WHPC. It never occurred to Corn that he was being racist. And he’s be indignant if it were pointed out to him. Racist?? Not me. Ask my Black friend.
“It never occurred to Corn that he was being racist.”
I’m not so sure about that.
If a FOX news reporter or someone like Rush Limbaugh had said the same thing – people like David Corn and Tweety Matthews would be among the first to call them racist for saying that. A man of David Corn’s age, and experience, who has been in the field of journalism and reporting for decades cannot hide behind that excuse that he”didn’t know he was being racist.” David Corn has developed a bit of an obnoxious ego since he came out with that 47% tape, which he mistakenly assumes got PBO re-elected. That’s part of where the superiority complex is coming from.
I have always said…..Gwen Iffil was asked of her bias moderating a VP debate in 2008. 98% who cover this president has issues. David Corn……is Not immune to this form of subconscious bigotry………and he is as a left as a leftie can be.
It is strange that the WHPC complain that they don’t have enough access to the President, yet when they do there are no substantitive questions being asked. These people are just clueless what a waste of time.
Self absorbed people in the DC/NY punditry live in the same zip code. They party together. Their kids play with each other and they see ONLY one way to cover THIS president…….as their Opposition. That is why, their emotional stagnation retards them from thinking outside the box. They Undermine, underestimate and they ASSume that this POTUS would be as Needy as those who came before him. Since 98% of those who cover this president are Like clones of each other……..the surprise element went out for me in 2008.
Oh, didn’t you hear the whining. They didn’t have ENOUGH time to prepare. The mighty WHPC is so far removed from current events, they can’t come up with questions unless they have a week to do it. An hour and half is just not enough time for any of them to think of ONE relevant question. They are as pathetic as the pundits on TV and they are SUPPOSE to be the REAL journalists.
Isn’t part of their Overpaid salaries is the ask questions? WHPC is their Name, right? Hmm? I suppose, those paying them have been wasting their money? Hmm?
Well, once again the WHPC provides us with plenty of entertainment, though whether of the comedic or tragic variety is up to question. It is amazing how PBO can take the stupidest question and turn it into something through which he can educate the American public. If the WHPC had asked Bush these questions in the accusatory tone they were asked, they would have been denied access.
Listening to the president is such a pleasure. Common sense, vision, leadership, honesty. To be completely fair though, his answers are sometimes very long and I can understand that the press corps is frustrated that they can’t ask many questions. Sometimes I feel that the president press conferences are not press conferences really, but little sessions of reeducation camp for national pundits ha ha. He just has to give them long answers in hope to “recenter” the national conversation on the right thing.
So, if the press was doing a better job in informing the people and explaining what’s really going on, the President wouldn’t have to take so much time on each subject , and more subjects could be covered during a 45 minutes press conference.
But in the end, the press today will have a lot of material to work with. They may be disappointed because they don’t have anything “spectacular” to report. Well, too bad for them. So let them concentrate on what the President actually explained in detailed fashion. Lots of substance. Viewers, readers need substance. Badly.
Ironic that these people are being paid big money to be on top of everything that is going on in politics and government. Yet they have to scurry to come up with questions when a press conference is announced? What’s the problem? They can’t think for themselves? They have to depend on someone else to tell them what to ask?
This began somewhat during Clinton’s administration and his press conferences. No they were not out to disrespect him like I feel these idiots do with our President Obama, but one “reporter” on one side of the room would ask a question about an issue, Clinton would answer, and darn if not two minutes later, another representative of the press would ask the same question, maybe phrased just a little differently. Clinton would repeat his answer and on and on it would go. I would be watching and waiting for an issue I was interested in to be talked about and would get so mad and impatient. Now during the Bush administration, I don’t know, because I never listened to his press conferences. I could not even look at the man, much less listen to him. I know his answers were dumber than their questions, probably.
On a lighter note, Jackass Tapper finally blocked me on Twitter. My job is done. At least as far as Jake is concerned. Ha!
I just heard Alex Wagner do a “Mark Knoller,” by giving us the # of press conferences the President has held during his administration: 39. More totally useless trivia. Yuck. Click.
Morning, TODville, where the sun always shines and there are no RWNJs or fake, far, far left, fair-weather progs! Off to spend a little cash to boost the economy!
Ed Henry has No Kids of his own. His wife has children. It is sad that Fox continues to be called on these press conferences. How I have wished that it would have stopped once Clemete and another Fox VP both said respectively that this POTUS was their main opposition in 2009 and 2010 respectively.
Fox is Not a news organization. It should be treated as such.
This man is so universally loved, admired and respected – this is why the WHPC’s are increasingly hostile and bitter towards him. Stated in simple terms: He is a winner; they are LOSERS, and they know it.
The WHPC shows disrespect for the President in the way they look at him, their tone, their questions all negative….even not “standing up” when he enters the press room. Is not standing up something new? Last four years maybe? These people are disgusting! The pundits and repubs continue to overreach and the President keeps on working. Things are moving along despite their obstruction. Somebody better tell them the deficit is going down and they’re making the President look good.
The Obama Diary 
Looking forward to the press conference
Morning swbluega!!!!!!
Good Morning to you Chips! Thanks for keeping us abreast of the happenings of our President.
Why is Chris Matthews on live at this time of day. Also who was that reporter he was just talking to that didn’t get the memo that the debt ceiling may not be reached until early September ?
Senior reporter, big deal news conference.
Should be interesting.
Pundits are speculating about anything they think the President might talk about in hopes that one of their assumptions is correct.
That Welker gal needs to shut up
WORD!
She traveled with PBO during the campaign and NEVER failed to talk up Romney while doing it.
GoBrooklyn, prayers, love and success for your surgery today. ((((((GB)))))
fearless POTUS.. always.
Overpaid and underworked, they have no true sense of reality. End of comment.
President Obama you are too nice, all Ed Henry deserves is a fuck you. That piece of sh@t. Chips sorry for the cursing but I am mad
So who is this Ben Golly guy and why does his name keep coming up?
ha ha. thats a good one.
I am so grateful and proud of our President. These clowns are no match for President Barack Obama.
As for the little Ms. Welker, I pray that she will leave that post. She does not do POB and his Administration any goodness. I do not like her approach to this Administration. HZ
I’m so thankful and proud we have a First Lady and Second Lady who cares about our military men and women and their families. And they are doing all they can to help them.
It goes without saying that POTUS and VP Biden care also.
LOL 😀 Chips that’s a good one. Zing I bet John King is checking in with his sources as we speak to confirm this report
Since ED is so concerned about Syria…….
GM TODers.
A press Conference? Pres Obama’s Style? OK….100 days after the Jan 20, 2013 inauguration.
“Now, for the first hundred days, Richard wandered in the wilderness of Washington, seeking the signs of the times.
Then the Pharisees came onto him, and certain of the Scribes, and the young men, who studied not-for-War, for they had read the Gospel of John the Leftist.

– The Begatting of a President.
😎
‘NO, Mr Graham is NOT right’. BOOM! Thanks PBO.
I couldn’t resist this one:
Sorry, this one:
Because that’s what it is all about ….
Let Ed be the first to volunteer for combat service then. 😆
Let Ed Henry go to war first, and his wife next. Leave his children with his parents, along with all the members of the WHPC and let them fight on the front lines. Let the GOP congressmen and women who love war, be on that plane with the WHPC too, ready to fight that war they are so keen on. I bet the conversation about the war would stop immediately. #cowards
Ed Henry of Fox News: BENGHAZI!!!!!
Everyone at Fox News just had a mini-orgasm.
I am sure Bill O and Hannity are masturbating as we speak
Yeah, their bone marrow turned into semen! 😦
LOOFAH!!!!
POTUS you Failure!!! Gawd these press people are beyond pathetic.
This is from 2 famously discredited, lying BS merchants from the past—Victoria Toensing and her lovely hubby Joe DiGenova—–bsns. as usual by FOX and disgusting to the max Ed Henry.
GM Chips and everyone. I woke up to that question and almost jumped out of my bed. 🙂
wow!!!
These questions have zero to do with seeking any kind of truth—–the reporters are just in some kind of demented contest on who can be the most obnoxious to the POTUS. It is a revolting spectacle. It’s gross.
Co-sign x2000000000! Still worried about Benghazi. Sheesh!
I had to turn the TV off. I can’t handle listening to these stupid questions. These people have no concept of real life and what is happening to real people.
POTUS is wiping the floor with Jonathan Karl. Man what a disrespectful jerk.
I ain’t no babysitter – President Obama
And they’re giving themselves hi-fives for being in the front row and holding PBO’s feet to the fire, NOT!
I can’t make Congress use common sense, the Repubs are scardy cats, the lot of them – PBO
Exactly—–what a bunch of juveniles, shamefully embarrassing—–zero integrity in that bunch of babies.
The WHPC are dumb clowns who do not deserve POB’s time or his brilliant mind. POB is a great President, and these clowns waste the Americans time by trying to make POB look ‘little’ in their ‘little crap s… minds. Excuse me, but that is how I feel.HZ
You said what many of us are thinking, H. The WHPC is truly pathetic, and the world is watching.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
President Obama you should sent all those GITMO detainees to Ed Henry and Chuck Todd’s house let them take care of them. Two pieces of shit
POB is kicking their arses on every question they are throwing at him. Remember, “Second Term Baby.” POB will do his job with them or without them. And believe me, he will make sure the American people know he is still trying to work with these jackasses.HZ
i agree HZ – he’s very cool. he’s got the 2nd term and there ain’t nothing these idiots can do. He’s done so much and will do more – he’ll go down as one of the greats. He knows it and they know it. They can try to throw a spanner in the works but he’ll beat them. He always does.
What diversity? Maybe in the fifth row! Good morning anyway.
There was a Latino at the back of the Bus.
I’m sayin’.
I didn’t see any blacks, did you?
Morning Yardarm.
Good morning Wing Commander. 😀
Morning shipmate!
Top of the day to you Admiral. How goes the day?
The day was perfectly lovely Yardarm until Ed Henry and Co’s mugs appeared on my screen. Now trying to wash the memory from my brain.
Bleach bath time, eh?
Yes Yardarm, that’s exactly what I need!!
Sure hope ya don’t need a HazMat team to get rid of the waste water. 😆
Head —> Desk: Chuck Todd
You idiot, you just heard the President say that he needs more proof about chemical use in Syria.
A busy morning:
11:45 AM President Obama, Vice President Biden, First Lady and Dr. Biden Make a significant employment announcement for veterans and military spouses
http://www.whitehouse.gov/live
And still, the only adult in the rooom.
I’m stunned by this, just incredible – Corn’s mask slipped….
Yup….and so it happens. Every time PBO makes an appearance, we see another one who expose their dirty, racist slip.
And Corn has it wrong, the question was, in actuality, about LGBT issues, not basketball.
And the question was an after-thought, not the first or main question. Which makes Corn’s assertion all the more problematic.
I actually took a deep breath for a minute Hopefruit to consider whether it was just a harmless joke, and maybe he intended it that way – but he must know damn well it’s just the kind of thing Drudge or any RWNJ would say. At the very best it was thoughtless and moronic. At worst, well.
This is just another example of the careless, thoughtless racism that permeates the WHPC. It never occurred to Corn that he was being racist. And he’s be indignant if it were pointed out to him. Racist?? Not me. Ask my Black friend.
Exactly VSW, and he thinks because he’s a ‘progressive’ – and has black friends! – he couldn’t possibly be racist. Give me strength.
“It never occurred to Corn that he was being racist.”
I’m not so sure about that.
If a FOX news reporter or someone like Rush Limbaugh had said the same thing – people like David Corn and Tweety Matthews would be among the first to call them racist for saying that.

nicely stated Nena.. and so true.
Oh, didn’t you hear the whining. They didn’t have ENOUGH time to prepare. The mighty WHPC is so far removed from current events, they can’t come up with questions unless they have a week to do it.

Here is the link and write-up to the revamped 3 page ACA application
😆 😆 😆
Men at work is in my head now…….It’s A Mistake……….. 😉
That finally question about Jason Collins was a home run, or a three-pointer. How do you like me now, GLAAD?
Well, once again the WHPC provides us with plenty of entertainment, though whether of the comedic or tragic variety is up to question.

POTUS, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama is still undoubtedly, The ONLY Adult in the Room, period.
Dr. Biden is speaking now, VP Biden have already spoke.
Yes Annie, it’s on CSPAN now.
POTUS and FLOTUS are speaking now.
Just thought I’d share. I live near a church and the bells are ringing out “Oh Danny Boy”. It’s beautiful.
Sounds lovely!
I missed the press conference? Dang.
On a lighter note, Jackass Tapper finally blocked me on Twitter. My job is done. At least as far as Jake is concerned. Ha!
I just heard Alex Wagner do a “Mark Knoller,” by giving us the # of press conferences the President has held during his administration: 39. More totally useless trivia. Yuck. Click.
Morning, TODville, where the sun always shines and there are no RWNJs or fake, far, far left, fair-weather progs! Off to spend a little cash to boost the economy!
From listening to Alex Wagner earlier today, one would think she wants American military to go into Syria.
Well, why not? SHE’s not going, so to her it’s just a story, I guess.
PBO speaking on Cspan now…Flotus there too.
Ok, just read UT’s recap of the presser. Now I feel caught up.
Happy to help.
FLOTUS!
Hellooooo sherijr!
Hola Ms. Chips ~ oh she was outstanding.. and love her fluffy hair today too 🙂
Today I can see her eyes, yesterday when she spoke I couldn’t.
yep her hair looked perfect 🙂
This is fantastic!
This is excellent news Ut- thanks for your diligent efforts in spreading this information!
I agree, great news ut.

That got to me …. teared up. We love her too Mr. President and thank you for sharing her with us every day.
He paid a lovely tribute earlier too, Daisy, missed that on the video but it should be up soon.
Nice.
