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.”

    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?

    When Bush says: “Our enemies are determined to strike us.”, that’s not fear mongering?

    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.
