Savior holds first fear-mongering press conference

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 9, 2009 07:57 PM

The wealth-redistributor-in-chief, his High Holiness, is set to begin his first official prime-time press conference at 8pm Eastern.

Will he go all Howard Dean?

Will he get snippy?

Drinking game buzzwords: “Bipartisan,” “crisis,” “get the economy moving again,” “create jobs.”

Add your own.

Update 8:05pm Eastern. President Obama. “It is only government that can break the vicious cycle.”

Jobs, jobs, jobs. Investment, investment, investment.

Gag. President Obama claims to be acting on behalf of my children and grandchildren.

Stop, thief.

Update 8:13pm Eastern. Obama dissing those who have criticized FDR’s growth-stifling interventions. Attempts to shut down and whitewash the economic dissenters. It’s the Obama way.

8:15pm Eastern. BOHICA. Obama says trillion-dollar porkulus is “just one step.” Mentions Geithner initiatives still to come…here comes the new mortgage entitlement.

8:40pm Eastern. Huffington Post has a seat in the WH press conference room. Nutroots membership has its privileges.

8:58pm Eastern. Obama lectures conservatives: “People need to break out of their ideological rigidity.”

Repeatedly insists that there is no dissent among economists about his porkulus.

I repeat: President Obama, you can’t stifle this dissent.

Ends the press conference: “Thank you, guys.”

To quote Twitter conservative Lea Hendry Valle:”I’ll be holding onto my ideological rigidity until they pry it from my cold dead fingers.”

    Borrow, Spend. Borrow, Spend. Borrow, Spend.

    Now THAT is a vicious cycle — and one that will eventually lead to catastrophe.

    If the dollar collapses and the Fed can no longer borrow from abroad … well, lets hope you and our children never live to see it.

    Obama leaves open the possibility of prosecuting Bush. He will “review uh Leahy’s uh proposal”.

    The only way he would be that stupid is if he doesn’t realize that the exact same thing could be used against him once he’s gone. I do not think he is stupid, just really, really, really misguided. Read that last sentence in a Zoolander voice by the way.

    I wouldn’t mind being wrong just to laugh at him though. Not to mention how ridiculous the Dems would look if they go forward with it.

    I watched most of the replay on FOX tonight-
    Observations:
    1-How is that HuffPost guy actually part of the White House press corps?

    2- The questions that made the President the most nervous all began something like, “Vice President Biden said recently…” or ” As then Senator Biden said…”

    3- Another thing to thank W for – not calling on Helen Thomas.

    “My view is also that nobody’s above the law and, if there are clear instances of wrongdoing, that people should be prosecuted just like any ordinary citizen.”

    Hey Mr. President,
    Let’s start with your nominees, and confirmed cabinet appointees and than work our way up!

    Above the law-
    *Accepting illegal campaign contributions from overseas?

    *Didn’t Hillary vote for a pay raise while senator, for a position that she now holds, disqualifying her per law?

    *Like interfering in private contracts of executives? Isn’t that unconstitutional?

    *What about your funny financing with Rezco on your home in Chicago?

    *Hiding your records to avoid the supreme law of the land like our Constitution?

    *How was it you traveled to Pakistan when other “Americans” were not allowed?

    Nobody should be above the law but it seems the enforcement of law is as slippery as an eel within your party or does not apply at all!

    Yes, you are correct that the money for TARP came from the government. But not all government spending is Keynesian economic policy. If you don’t accept that, I suppose this conversation is over.

    Your right
    It’s over.

    This is going to get old fast. It was difficult watching more than ten minutes. When I left the room and came back ten minutes later I couldn’t tell if he was still answering the same question or a new one. His pauses made me think he didn’t have a clear stance on the issue but was trying to figure out how to answer the question in the best political way possible.

    His message to the American people is absolutely clear. “You cannot do anything without government help. We will fix this and you need to get on board because we know you don’t have the courage or ability to persevere to succeed on your own” That sounds very much how democrats speak about affirmative action?

    It is undeniable that the economic outlook is very dark. We should at least try to do something about it.

    So since borrowing and spending created this mess, you think borrowing and spending will FIX this mess lgm? Is that your position?

    I watched the excuse for a series of mini-speeches last night, excuse me the “Press Conference”. I couldn’t get past how un-Presidential the whole thing was and un-Presidential Obama is.

    I wonder how he is impacting the military and the regular fighting in the trenches folks? If I was about ready to put my life on the line for my country and my Commander in Chief, one look at Obama and I think I’d be rethinking my willingness to do so.

    I don’t know if I’d be all that willing to let this guy command me into danger.

    Or let me ask it this way lgm.

    Would what Obama wants to do, the liberal socialist want to do, if you used the same process and mindset for your own personal finances, your own checking account, your own mortgage, your own debt management, your own cost of living needs, how would your life be and in what condition would your personal finances be as a result of the same steps and “fixes”?

    Your assets drop in value, your income needs go up, and your solution is to borrow an outrageous amount of money and increase your spending.

    In a year, how do your own personal finances appear to you?

    Does this work for your own life?

    Why do you think it will work for our collective lives, our country’s life?

    And I suppose it’s not playing on peoples’ fears and lack of information for Obama to using terms like “crisis” and “vicious cycle” to describe the economy, in order to pass his spending bill?

    We should at least try to do something about it.

    Yes we should – tax cuts and a payroll tax holiday would create actual, sustainable jobs and put money in people’s hands now, not in two years.

    Teachem: What was he, on the sidelines watching?

    No, he was too busy to do the job we paid him $250K/year to do (i.e. show up and represent the people of Illinois) doing what Soros et al paid him to do (i.e. campaigning to the MORONS of Amerikkka to turn the USA into the United Socialists Republic)

    Judging from 9/11, I would say that statement was fact as opposed to fear mongering.
