[Coyotl]

1. Late start, video finally rolling on C-SPAN - Pelosi speaking now.

[Whisp]

2. ty for the link and heads up. n/t

[Coyotl]

3. Live feed now on whitehouse.gov

[Whisp]

4. he's on now at .gov. n/t

[nolabear]

5. Finally! Hope I can listen before I have to get to work.

I need a mouthwash after Boehner.

[Coyotl]

6. 100,000 have completed enrollment, 1,000,000 applications for 1.5 million people

near 200,000 more Americans getting Medicare under ACA.

If every governor follows suit, 5.4 million more will be eligible.

[JNelson6563]

7. He sure looks tired!

My gawd.

[Coyotl]

8. Boring material to deliver for him, no doubt. But he does a perfect job.

I like the reasoned tone and pace. The M$M hyper delivery is irritating to me, but this kind of relaxed and intelligent discourse is comfortable.

[malaise]

10. What's that asshole's name again

Who just asked two questions

[Coyotl]

12. Those were questions?

I though they had cut to Fox.

[malaise]

16. LOL

He's giving a detailed response.

[KittyWampus]

21. lol

[malaise]

24. I remembered the moron's name

Major Garrett. Obama should have asked him how any CBS Correspondent is showing his face in public after that Benghazi mess

[Coyotl]

27. Got it.

Throwing CBS a pity bone

[JNelson6563]

11. Yes, well said!

Kinda like a Professor or something...

9. I feel sorry for this President constantly.

The 24/7 snark and vile attacks on him and his family bring me to tears if I dwell on it too much.

[JNelson6563]

13. People are mean.

It is constant. I can't imagine what it must be like. I think many forget he is merely human.

[malaise]

14. The truth is that he's actually the most honest man in the White House

since Carter.
Sabotage, sabotage, sabotage!!

He really should have pushed Single Payer and spare himself all this crap.

[flamingdem]

15. The pres is incredibly patient when speaking

Can you imagine any other person speaking with such grace and charm when his signature achievement is under attack and undermined by crappy web programming?

Have to wonder if there was a bit of subversion in that web development effort.

[malaise]

17. You're still wondering??

I'll just wait for the evidence. I have long assumed that.

[Coyotl]

22. The DOS software to disrupt is freely available online. This was reported here on DU. Link:

http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/11/new-denial-of-service-attack-aimed-directly-at-healthcare-gov/

Denial-of-service tool targeting Healthcare.gov site discovered
Hacktivist software designed to put a strain on struggling Obamacare website.

[malaise]

25. Thanks for that

[HijackedLabel]

18. AG Holder should respond to impeachment talk

by announcing an investigation into Healthcare.gov sabotage.

[crazylikafox]

23. Yep. Should also go after insurance companies that are breaking ACA law by cheating customers

by cancelling grandfather'd policies and misleading them into purchasing new overpriced policies instead of informing them of ACA options.

[Coyotl]

19. "Our policy is Iran cannot have nuclear weapons."

[NM_Birder]

20. Isn't the ACA law ?

I caught the last part of his speech, it sounded like some parts of the ACA are being postponed, and cancelled policies are allowed to be re-instated.

Don't changes and/or "adjustments" to it have to be voted on because the ACA is enacted law ?

[Voice for Peace]

30. he is still talking and answering questions

http://www.whitehouse.gov/live

don't think you quite heard right..

[NM_Birder]

36. I only caught part of it,...went to your link but it's concluded.

wasn't sure if I was hearing about a proposed extension, or the enactment of an extension.

[Bandit]

38. Changes maybe or adjustments maybe but not delays.

He can delay implementation without actually changing the Law.

[Voice for Peace]

26. oh my, his answers are way too intelligent and thorough

[Coyotl]

29. The wingnuts might hate him less if they could comprehend conversation at this IQ level.

It sure is a stark contrast to Bush's discourse!

Bush didn't remember the beginning of his own sentences.

[Voice for Peace]

31. seriously. I like that he just used a sports analogy

[Coyotl]

33. and the iTunes analogy.

[Voice for Peace]

35. ahahaha ahah aa and keeping your old car

he is GOOD!!

[malaise]

32. They're great because when the Fox and CBS hacks try to search for a clip

to trip him he will Fugg them up.

One of Obama's strengths for me has always been his forthrightness under pressure. George Bush would never have taken a single question here today.

[cilla4progress]

28. I love this man and want to work for him

I wish he would mention healthsherpa.org!

Anyone know how I can get a job in the White House? Or at least this admin? Already checked Craigslist Wash. DC. I'm a paralegal.

[badgolfer]

34. Obama

Obama just needs to come up with nicknames for some of these reporters like Bush did and than they would all love him. Assholes!!!

[William769]

37. Kick & recommended.
