because his press conferences always seem like a direct reply to some very current opinion piece or what is currently being said by the right in the blogosphere or the radio.

Maybe he thinks he can ram things through Congress because he can see Congress from his porch.

if they are losing the readership of The One and company they are sliding faster then I thought. I could see that stock at $1.00 by the end of the decade which as you all know means a huge burning of the stock party at Jaded’s house

I don’t know whether it’s urban legend or not, but it supposedly went something like this.
Bush to group of reporters: “I don’t read half of what y’all write.”
Reporter (sarcastically): “That’s okay. We don’t listen to half of what you say.”
Bush (without missing a beat): “I know – I could tell that from the part I read.”

We see examples of the double standard from the MSM every day. Anyone recall how when Reagan said that lots of homeless people were mental cases, it was proof that he was heartless. When Clinton said the same thing, it was proof that he had great insight into the homeless condition.

It never ends.

…because HE already knows it all..

BTW- Thanks, bk, for the Dubya and a reporter exchange.

As for whether it’s an urban legend or not, I’ll go with screenwriter John Milius who once wrote,

“If this ain’t the way it was, it’s the way it should of been.”

-

“Katie Couric: A recent online poll out today shows the number of Americans who trust you to find the right solutions to problems has fallen from 66 to 54 percent. And those who mistrust you have increased from 31 to 42 percent. Do you feel like the honeymoon’s over?

President Obama: I never understood this concept of honeymoon. I think that, as soon as I took the job, on January 20, I think I was responsible. And that’s what people expect from their presidents. That I take responsibility for the economy. ”

So is he responsible for the economy, or not? Or is he responsible for the economy if things happen to go well, and not responsible when things don’t go well?

I have never had a lower opinion of any elected official in my life.

In his interview with Katie Couric, Obama also said he’d “rather not wade into” the issue of whether or not health care reform should include federal funding for abortions.”

He also conveniently neglected to mention the Mexico City policy he rescinded with his Executive Order: “I’m pro-choice, but I think we also have the tradition in this town, historically, of not financing abortions as part of government-funded health care.”
