No-Drama Obama Seeks to Lower Expectations

He needs some much needed rest 2 years is along time to Campaign, I thought he did great at his First Press conference as President Elect

Obama was great today. Pitch perfect. I'd forgotten what it was like to have a President that inspired confidence.

He'll be a great President.

Not tired, more like overwhelmed.

He is getting the on the job training required and I think he is realizing that maybe he bit off more than he could chew.

But he shouldn't worry. Chris Mathews said he will do everything he can to make this president a success. Must give him a warm fuzzy feeling to know that the media is licking your ****.

Dd anyone ask him these questions or he just got all the soft question they way he used to during his campaign:

1- Will he release all his college, medical records now?

2- Does he knows that an Iranain-American student has been arrested in Iran and he what his plans are to get an American citizen out of Iran?

3- What are your thoughts on the press "doing everything I can to make this presidency a success"?

4- Mr. Obama, WHAT DO YOUR REAY MEAN BY SAYING "WE MAY NOT THERE IN A YEAR BUT WE WILL:...WHERE IS "there"?

5- Mr. Obama, do you believe in individual liberty or common good?

6- Will he give credit to Bush for bringing succes in Iraq so it would be easy for him to withdraw?

He did great!!!

I don't think insulting Nancy Reagan is considered classy or very President like. He will need to be much more careful in what he says. Aren't families off limits?

Frieda, get over it....sheesh

our new pres. sure has a job ahead of him----so dont expect the last 8 years to be corrected in a few months----most dont understand the situation we are in.
hey angie

frieda... You are a MOROn of Monstrous proportions.. now with that said... please go bungee jumping without the cord...

FUNNY!! ALL YOU LIBS CAN S%$K IT YOU FOOLS....USA IS GOING DOWN BIGTIME AND THE PARTY OF DEATH WILL LEAD ALL YOU OBAMITES OFF THE CLIFF!!! HA HA ...thats what you get..

There is a rule that when you get to be president, you don't trash previous presidencies.

Strike One!

Really a great presence Obama has as he begins to unravel all of the promises he made to the citizens of the USA. Anyone with much less formal education than Obama has known the economy has been in the bucket for some time. Lets just not blame the economy for the big plans(that were great for votes) as the reason we will not shake the earth and part the seas during his first term. Lets wish him luck on a difficult venture but not make excuses.

I want to remind all of the OBAMA bashers that he hasn't officialy took office yet but has already done more than our PRESIDENT BUSH has done. Ask your self this WERE IS MR. BUSH..... AWOL as usual.

President Elect OBAMA stated the truth it will take a while to get out of an 8 year hole that Mr. Bush has layed out for us. Mr. Obama looks more presidential with every passing day.

best thing all the repubs can do is refuse any help they get-----stimulis check(send it back)

I pledge to loathe Obama until the people throw him out of office, be it 2012 or 2016. He is the most disgraceful individual to hold the POTUS position.

Blah blah blah... what about Abortion and killing babies up to the 4th trimester? He's more worried about a dog than killing babies. NICE! America should be proud!

maggie
do you need laws to make you do what is moraly right.

Hey One Nation... I happen to like PRESIDENT (until Jan 20th might I remind you) BUSH! He has kept our country safe from the crazy people who hate Americans! The Iraq war may not have been "right", but it showed the world that you don't mess with the U.S.A.

maggie-- you can go and die the next war--see how easy it is.

Rodney,

No we need laws to protect those who are too stupid or ignorant to know what is morally right. Its not the baby's fault they didn't use protection.

That's my Commander-in-Chief!

frieda;

***************

What is the POINT to your uncouth questions??

The election is over!!!!

I hope that you watched his first press conference!!!!

You and America, do not expect quick resolution on this economy!!!!!

Just stand behind
President Barack Obama!!!!

Peace!!!

Rodney,

I'm in the Marines you idiot!

To Frieda... all your questions lead me to believe you're a "Bush" support. I dont think Obama should give Bush credit for anything other than wrecking the economy! Secondly, we should have never gone to Iraq in the first place...NO WMD and NO OSAMA BIN LADEN!!!
Why are we there in the first place spending 10B a month and losing lives...WHAT HAVE WE WON???

No mistakes? - that Nancy Reagan joke was tacky! Barack already has Joe B rubbing off on him.

Mutt - self deprecating yes. But opens up all sort of questions on race. Well at least Berlusconi should sigh relief.

Hypoallergenic dogs - sounds a bit "elite" again but maybe that's just me.

Now, George you're telling us scary things go on behind WH closed doors. OOH big deal. As if he shouldn't be up to speed from 300 foreign policy advisors with all sorts of clearances and he's already a US Senator for goodness sake on the Foreign Affairs committee which he never much took interest in.
