POLITICS: PRESIDENT OBAMA’S 100TH DAY PRESS CONFERENCE
Thursday, April 30, 2009
On Wednesday, President Barack Obama held his third primetime news conference to mark the 100th day of his term.
The President laid out the range of serious problems facing his administration and the nation, calling for patience and asserting again that “America will see a better day“.
So we are off to a good start. But it is just a start. I am proud of what we have achieved, but I am not content. I am pleased with our progress, but I am not satisfied. Millions of Americans are still without jobs and homes, and more will be lost before this recession is over. Credit is still not flowing nearly as freely as it should. Countless families and communities touched by our auto industry still face tough times ahead. Our projected long-term deficits are still too high. Government is still not as efficient as it should be. We still confront threats ranging from terrorism to nuclear proliferation to pandemic flu. And all of this means you can expect an unrelenting, unyielding effort from this administration to strengthen our prosperity and our security - in the second hundred days, and the third hundred days, and all the days after.
The President added that “we have plenty of work left to do.” But “we will rebuild a stronger nation. And we will endure as a beacon for all those weary travelers beyond our shores who still dream that this is a place where all is possible.”

i watched this last night, and I gotta say…Obama seemed either very tired and stressed, or just plain annoyed. I think tired though, would describe him best. His delivery of his speech was riddled with “uhhh” for every other word. He seemed worn out. And it also was conveyed that he thought this position was going to go alot smoother than he thought. You know, because he is my leader, I will pray for him. And I can’t imagiine what he is going through, he has 99 problems right now, but luckily he has Michelle, a strong woman, to back him up.
Still, he is being bombarded by media, he has so many places to travel to and a family to maintain. BUT he is making strides and is supported by a world of people (literally) that believe in him but also believe in us as being the change we want to see. He is a great leader, he is a great man and father, and he should realize that this too shall pass! (Cosign, WIllPWR) Things could be worse (as unlikely as that seems right now) but things will get better. We are being patient Obama. I just hope he realizes that he is only human, and that what G-d expects of him counts more than public opinion.
Good luck, Mr. President!

Obama is tired alright; he is tired of the dumb reporters. Did hear that stupid question that one reporter asked what “enchanted” him most… Enchanted? Who the hell speaks like that in 2009? Is this a freaking fairy tail, nursery rhyme book?
Obama uses “uh’s” a lot because he’s actually thinking before he speaks. After 8 years of listening to a president who spoke before thinking, I dont care about Obama’s fillers.

He’s actually a President who can pronounce “Pakistan” the way it’s supposed to be said…not the nasal westernized version LMAO.
Don’t know how smart it was to ‘wish’ Iran for their new year tho…holding out an olive branch to shifty states and then greeting them in Farsi. Not saying he’s a ‘terrorist’ sympathizer but the Ayatollah basically shot him down a day later saying he does not but America’s words.

its my understanding that the republican party is gearing up for 2010 and 2012 this includes targeting all the congressional and senate races etc. which i will label this covert move “OPERATION LAME DUCK” . folks them people are bringing out the so-called big guns to go around the united states having town halls and etc. the plan is to lame duck this president thus making the rest of his term in office null in void. and w/ boss limpbraugh and fox’s hannity’s insannity on the radio and on TV, them republicans the party of the haves and havemores intend to take back the white house. i have stated as obama sleeps them republicans are scheming and don’t want to see the president suceed. so i want to sound the alarm to all the folks to let you know. this president and history we have made as a people will be for NOT if we allow the grand ol party and boss limpbraugh and hannity w/ his tv and radio insanity have their way. a skunk can’t change his stripe just who is this party trying to fool. all they are going to do is go around the country w/ them same ol ass scare tactics, THEY ARE GOING TO SPEND OUR KIDS AND OUR GRAND KIDS MONEY . heck want they won’t tell you is cheney /bush has already bankrupt this united states. now we got to listen to these hypocites all over again damn damn damn.

If most of you would do your research you will know that the economy was not unstable 8 yrs ago it was not even unstable 3 yrs ago so to blame this sh*t of bush is getting old,
things took a turn for the worse around 2007. It is no only the US so to say the Bush caused all of this is buying in to the new world order BullSh*T. So look for another excuse people were not losing jobs 8, 7 ,6 ,5 ,4 or even 3 yrs. Besides Obama is not the First Black President. he is the first bi-racial who looks black because the where others before him. His first 100 days he did nothing but increase the debt I am not even American and i am worried about what he is doing. Any one who works in a Accounting or Economic field know that his plan will not work. So get ready because things are going to get worst.
