Anyone watch the President's Presser at 11am EST Today?

[DFab420]

If so could you give us who are in meetings a quick overview of what he's talking about. Greatly appreciated

[DCKit]

1. It's on in four minutes.

Don't get CSPAN of the M$M channels, but I'll check AJ, RT and the local stations.

[Pirate Smile]

2. Yes. We should get an official thread.

[jayfish]

3. Try this if you have the bandwidth.

4. don't they stream them all at whitehouse.gov?

[DFab420]

5. THey do. But I am in a brainstorming meeting which means no video with sound :/

[Modern_Matthew]

6. Yeah. Kind of anti-climatic after keeping up with the OWS stuff. nt

[DCKit]

7. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.

Talking about small business incentives, public works and targeted investment.

I think it's a polished compilation of the speeches he's been giving for the past several weeks.

[tabatha]

8. Oh Chucky.

Asked a crappy question.

Obama has almost turned it around.

[Erose999]

9. Oh snap, somebody just asked him about OWS. nt

[DFab420]

11. Really? Wahts the answer!?

[Skidmore]

12. Snap????

Really? I fail to see how this is such a gotcha moment.

[Erose999]

14. I wasn't expecting a M$M reporter in the WH press corps to ask a question about OWS.

[Skidmore]

17. Thanks for clarifying.

[Erose999]

13. He's defending the bailouts as "the right thing to do". Totally dodging speaking about OWS.

[banned from Kos]

16. Not what he said - he said REFORM (Dodd-Frank) and the CFPB

were critical to avoid further damage.

[Kahuna]

21. Dodging! Yeah right. He spoke about OWS for a good 5 mins. nt

[Erose999]

22. He defended bailouts and dodd frank for 5 minutes.

[Kahuna]

23. Nonsense. Read...

[Erose999]

24. Yes, thats a summary of his defense of bailouts and Dodd Frank. Congratulations!

You get a cookie.

And because this is DU I guess its a vegan oatmeal cookie.

[Safetykitten]

10. Same old stuff...no missing anything.

[banned from Kos]

15. Obama asked about OWS and Fin Reforn

Says he has seen OWS on TV and goes into long support of Dodd-Frank and Cordray.

[gateley]

18. I'd recommend watching it later if you're so inclined, because

I think he's addressing all the points very well and right on.

OWS -- Indicative of how people across the country are feeling. They see the people continuing to do what got us into this mess in the first place.

No prosecutions for WS? Not necessarily illegal, but immoral. The financial community is very sneaky (may have used "clever" or less inflammatory word) and they know how to get around the rules.

I'm not going to give up on clean energy - we're fighting with countries who give big incentives to companies. We have to make investments.

Congress sucks and won't give me the time of day. :)

I'm the worst one to report, I invariably get a lot wrong, but on the whole he's doing VERY well, not dancing around any issues, taking his time and going into depth with his answers.

:hi:

[monmouth]

19. Excellent reportage gateley....Please replace chucky tawd...n/t

[gateley]

20. No kidding! Get the hook! nt

[barbtries]
