Nope, he’s waiting in the wings, dusting off his shoulders. He’s too polite to do it in front of those vultures in the press room licking their chops to try and devour him.
The sound on my computer is not working–can see, but not hear. Can someone please describe what the president is saying. My teeth are grinding in frustration.

Secret Report: Pro-Russian Militias ‘Supervised and Guided’ By Russian Intelligence
“Pro-Russian militia in Ukraine are being supervised and guided by Russian army intelligence agents based in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, according to a document seen by The Times.
Ten Russian “spies and raiders” were arrested in Ukraine during the past month, the analysis of Moscow’s involvement by the Ukrainian secret service says, while telephone intercepts show orders from Russian agents directing attacks. In one assault, a Ukrainian security officer was shot dead in Slovyansk on April 13.
The document is being sent to European Union governments as further evidence that Moscow is behind the pro-Russian militia action in eastern and southern Ukraine.
One European foreign service has accepted it as a credible indicator of Moscow’s involvement. The militia who occupied administrative buildings in Donetsk were not only armed with AK-100 weapons, “a model used exclusively by the Russian army and special-ops”, but their shoes were “manufactured by Butex, the Russian enterprise that supplied Russian security agencies”, the report says.”
Thank you so much for all you do, Bobfr. Your hard work has been a priceless for so many who have been searching for reliable info on these horrid events!
Dems should forcefully defend and be proud of ACA, don’t apologize for it, run on it, embrace it, get with the program! – PBO referring to shrinking violet Dems who may be afraid during elections.
That was like a mini seminar on the Obama administration domestic and foreign policy. President Obama took his time and answered every question thoroughly and completely on his terms. And boy oh boy did he get a lot in. PBO turned a firehose of facts on the jackals and they looked like they were in a state of shock.
Fipping through the channels and an observation…..PBO press briefing interrupted programming on all the network channels. On the network channels ABC, CBS, NBC, the post briefing commentary is all about Ukraine. On the cable channels CNN, MSNBC, FOX, the post briefing conversation starts off with talk about ACA.
What a sensational presentation by POTUS!!
“Stages of grief” hahahaha
PBO held nothing back—-what a strong leader we are so so so so lucky to have.
The President skewered the GOP governors who are witholding health care for no other reason but spite.
I had made a comment that she looked a bit full…..especially her face. I wondered if she was expecting and now she is. Congratulations. Her parents have wanted a grand-child and now, they will be getting one.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, NW. I am so frustrated about the lack of sound that I could scream. Since I have zero technical skills, I’m just floundering right now. I think it’s just the WH feed that’s the problem since I can get You Tube sound. Maybe the press conference will show up there eventually.
President Obama spoke to reporters after a meeting with health insurance company executives. Following brief remarks on the sinking of a ferry off South Korea’s coast, he cited statistics on the Affordable Care Act. He said that 35 percent of the 8 million people who had signed up for health insurance through state exchanges were under the age of 35, and talked about the impact of the law on health care expenses. He answered questions on Russia’s intervention in Ukraine, immigration reform, and other issues.
Afterward, Jay Carney briefed reporters and answered questions at the daily White House briefing.
Antisemitic flyer in Donetsk: Clarification and statement of the rabbinate
“For we are not in Russia, where truth is obviously not the main issue, we wanted to find out what has happened. Now we contacted the office of Rabbi Pinchas Vishedski of Donetsk to ask him whether he could give us additional information on this event. Kindly his office gave us the following statement:
„Yes, we received it late evening on 15th of April. You can find the copy in attachment. But this letter was a provocation and the man whose signature you can see on the letter Denis Pushilin totally disproved this words yesterday …He told on TV that it wasnt a letter from “Donetsk republic” and they do not have any problems with Jews. Our local governance and Security Service of Ukraine will take care of this situation and will do everthing to find people who did these letters…and we trust them. It is safe here for all Jews.“
So, obviously those leaflets were not meant officially. There is no immediate danger for the Jewish community in Donetsk. Might be, that some of the „tourists“ thought it was funny. We can only speculate.”
President Obama mocked the 50 times the Republicans voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act LAW by saying that instead there could have been 50 votes to create jobs, improve infrastructure, innovation, college, raise the minimum wage and unemployment insurance.

“I still don’t understand why the Republican position on ACA is still stuck on stupid” – PBO at 4/17/14 press conference
Now THAT is the way to court a repub Mr Cook!
Simple, Mr. President, it is all they know.
“Forget all the bad news we perpetrated about ACA, and all the positive results you just mentioned. Let’s find a new subject we can use as a divergent.”. – First question by the WHPC immediately after PBO gives positive economic and healthcare stats
President Obama — Now that I have everyones attention let me dispense a bit of truth.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
With that, I’ll take a few questions from you media stenographers masquerading as real journalists.
“You mad bro’?” – PBO explains the question he asked during the friendly conversation he had with Eric Canter
Ha! Great Minds….
wow the first question about the ACA is pretty disgustingly put, imo.
HA! PBO says that the Repubs are now going through the 8 stages of grief regarding the ACA 🙂 Haven’t come to acceptance yet though:)
ACA follow-up goes straight to the politics of it all. Good question, allows PBO to continue to stick to the party of stupid.
PBO recognizes that ‘pubs need to get through the stages of grief about ACA. What a guy!
He really said THAT ??? Ha ha. I just HAVE to see the video. Missed it live, I was very busy today…
He sure did, said they are in denial and anger, haven’t gotten to acceptance.

Eek. Should have been ‘priceless resource’.
Now will they actually REPORT all this truth He’s telling? not gonna hold my breath.
Hey! {{{{{sherijr}}}}} was missing you!

teehee
He is ignoring the front row …..
YES!!!! Calling out the Rethug governors, with a passion, for refusing to expand Medicaid!
Stupid Politico question on troops in Ukraine.
We shall bid them all adieu.
❤

Keep asking the dumb questions. It gives PBO perfect opportunity to put down the stupid.
he just keeps on winning and keeping on… forward 🙂
Perfect, Donna. Thank you.
Spontaneous human combustion at Fox News !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How long before we hear the gop and msm complain that President Obama has poisoned the well with his factual comments at the press conference today.
How much do I love this President……..HIT ‘EM, Mr. President!!
Love It!
POTUS is THE BUSINESS!!
THE ONLY ADULT IN THE ROOM
That was like a mini seminar on the Obama administration domestic and foreign policy. President Obama took his time and answered every question thoroughly and completely on his terms. And boy oh boy did he get a lot in. PBO turned a firehose of facts on the jackals and they looked like they were in a state of shock.
EXACLY. I don’t think they really know what hit them. Brilliant man.
WINNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fipping through the channels and an observation…..PBO press briefing interrupted programming on all the network channels. On the network channels ABC, CBS, NBC, the post briefing commentary is all about Ukraine. On the cable channels CNN, MSNBC, FOX, the post briefing conversation starts off with talk about ACA.
8 million. Wooohooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Say it loud and proud, President Obama!
What a sensational presentation by POTUS!!
“Stages of grief” hahahaha
PBO held nothing back—-what a strong leader we are so so so so lucky to have.
The President skewered the GOP governors who are witholding health care for no other reason but spite.
POTUS gave Major Garrett of CBS an interview and the 1st question went to a woman from CA. But instead of CA ACA sign up, she went for Ukraine?
But best of all…….No AP, NBC, CNN, ABC, Fox, Bloomberg………but Politico? Oh well, POTUS was having fun……..
❤ it ❤ It ❤ ❤ ❤ It
8, 000, 000 and COUNTING, Yes!
Faaaaaaaantastic tweeting Nerdy!!!

She looks stunning in this picture. Love her!
{{{{{FLOTUS}}}}}
Love our First Lady.
Chelsea Clinton is expecting a baby this fall.
Well congratulations to her and her family. It’s a joy to have grand kids so I can imagine that Hillary and Bill are thrilled.
Being a mother can be a joy – being a grandmother is a little bit of heaven here on earth.
Amen!!!
I had made a comment that she looked a bit full…..especially her face. I wondered if she was expecting and now she is. Congratulations. Her parents have wanted a grand-child and now, they will be getting one.
🙂
Well congratulation to Chelsea and her husband, and to Bill and Hillary too.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, NW. I am so frustrated about the lack of sound that I could scream. Since I have zero technical skills, I’m just floundering right now. I think it’s just the WH feed that’s the problem since I can get You Tube sound. Maybe the press conference will show up there eventually.
That happened to me once and what I did was to close all tabs and started a fresh page. That worked for me.

BURN.
