“I’m frustrated with myself, with our team,” the president said Tuesday as he worked the cameras to try to limit the fallout from his appointee implosion.

I’m not a real prophet, but I can foresee a time, less than four years
from today, when we’ll see President Obama facing the cameras and
proclaiming to the American people: “I am not a crook”.  This is a
fine kettle of fish. Why deny the obvious, bloggers?

For all you pollyanna obamamaniacs—it may may take awhile to discover just
how badly he “screwed up”.  Let’s keep tabs—with time, sadly all will be revealed

Steve E,

“Running to Fox News to beg forgiveness”

Learn to comprehend what you read before posting BS.
The interview is with Brain Williams of NBC!

The ol’ passive aggressive routine - “I am sorry” and at the other end “this is a distraction”. Been there, done that (the “bitter” remarks, the Rezko property purchase, Blagorama, Wright - are a few that come to mind really fast)

Doesn’t seem to be stopping him from continuing to screw up. This may prove to be the fastest sinking presidential team in history with the way he is stacking it with corporate hacks and the same sleaze that done brought us to the brink. Even the slimey Clinton started out with a more hopeful cast of characters compared to Obama’s cynical picks. It will prove to be his undoing and he will wear the “hope & change” mantra like an albatross around his neck.

Now let us all hold hands and beg for forgiveness Give me a break. Are we going to get this kind of routine each time Obama thinks he screwed up. Is he going to pull this act when we finally realize he will not bring Bush and Cheney to justice. Running to Fox News to beg forgiveness. What a two bit hack.

Whew, what a difference an election can make! President Obama is articulate and (so far) able to take the heat with a calm display of leadership. He’s impressive, and I anticipate things improving with such a person at the helm. And, he’s not some jerk-off militaristic @$$h*!& like Bush was.
