Liveblogging Obama’s Latest Teevee Show, Part 1

by Jim Newell  

Hey Obama’s gonna be on the teevee in a few minutes to read Das Kapital from his TELLYPROMTARRS, all 40 of them. We’re commemorating this occasion with some classic racist Internet art from the campaign. What a schmuck, this guy! We’re watching CNN analyze the “goals” with this conference, and it’s already paralyzing. First thing we hear are the words “sell the American people.” Who cares about the American people? They voted already. Anyway…

7:57 — John King is talking about 2010, of course. “The Democrats remember what happened in 1994 — they got crushed.” How can someone even think about elections when EARTH IS DYING? John King, he sucks. Even Bill Bennett is better.
7:58 — Unfortunately Sara, “the good Wonkette writer,” is at a nerdy literature club tonight trying to leverage her Harvard degrees into a crack rock. So it’ll just be your two male editors writing bilious nonsense about the End Times.
8:00 — Oh hey it’s OBAMA! And just as we were falling in love with CNN’s Ed Henry.
8:01 — Obama says he wants to talk to YOU, the American, and he is looking straight into the camera. He has moved the tellerpromptererr!
8:02 — Brags about how he cut taxes for the Poors and then bought their houses and then bought up their consumer loans. (Is there a form you have to fill out for these things, btw? E-mail me.)
8:03 — My budget gives more money to the educations, health cares, infrastructure, and gay abortions.
8:04 — OMG the CNN camera just showed the new Telepromptir! It’s all classic like, no one-way glass. And yet he’s stuttering a little bit. He’s stuttering because of the NEW TELEPROMTOR! THIS GUY!
8:05 — We’ll get out of this mess, he says. We just can’t go running around like a bunch of whining assholes, taxin’ fat cats in every alley.
8:06 — FIRST QUESTION, NATCH: It’s the AP lady. (Ron Fournier in a rubber disguise.)
8:07 — Secret Ron Fournier asks why we have another one of these damn trillion-dollar programs, since we’ve already had a couple. God, do these FRONT ROW REPORTERS ever do any research?
8:08 — She also wants to know why the public “should support” more power for the Treasury to seize financial institutions. How about this, Secret Ron Fournier: because you have no choice and would probably just screw up everything if you did.
8:10 — SECOND QUESTION, CHUCK TODD of NBC! He wants to know why the taxpayer should be asked to participate in cushioning the blow banks are facing. AGAIN: read the 8:08 update.
8:11 — CNN actually tells us that the question is, “Why haven’t you asked for sacrifice from the public?” What? We never said we listened to these things.
8:12 — He just talks about his overall economic growth plans in the budget for a few minutes. Vague. Subsidies.
8:13 — Chuck Todd has a follow-up along the lines of “COME AGAIN?”
8:14 — Obama says, CHUCK, LOOK, obviously the American people are sacrificing enough by getting fired and having no equity. Do you want them to plants redwoods or something?
8:15 — THIRD QUESTION, JAKE “THE LAKE” TAPPER of ABC: He wants to know if Obama would sign a budget without middle class tax cuts or cap-and-trade. Obama says, we’ll see, but yeah, sure, tax stuff’s already in there more or less. Exciting presser!
8:16 — Re: cap-and-trade, Obama outlines his very broad philosophical reason for having cap-and-trade in the budget.
8:18 — Jake “The Opaque”‘s getting snappy and barks some follow-up. Obama tells him we’ll see when the budget gets printed out, K?
8:19 — FOURTH QUESTION, CHIP “THA CHENEY FUCKA” REID of CBS: This guy is such a tool. He asks something like, aren’t you lying, “Mr. President,” by saying it’s bad to pass on deficits to Our Children, and then IN FACT passing those deficits onto Our Children?
8:21 — Obama says it’s a long-term structural plan, which, again, Chip could have just Google-Newsed before showing up for his front row seat on primetime television. Will anyone ever ask about currencies or long-term interest rates or something that actually matters, rather than just, “This is a lot of money, what will the children think?”
8:22 — (Little does Chip Reid know, the Tela-Prompteur is on his forehead! That’s why Obama is talking literally forever.)
8:23 — FIFTH QUESTION, A MEXICAN LADY FROM MEXICO! Well, Ken will start from here. Thanks for showing up! Now go to Ken’s liveblog and give him hell.

Guy can’t even give a 40 minute policy speech stuffed full of stultifying financial detail without using a TELEPROMPTRZ. This is a result of his mixed racial heritage.

imissopus March 24, 2009 at 8:01 pm

No silver bullets? How will we stop the werewolves?

chascates March 24, 2009 at 8:02 pm

What? I don’t have money in my pocket!! And since I’m unemployed a tax cut won’t help me!! HELP ME!

Now he’s gesturing to his right to indicate AIG…. Is there a huge corporation crouched on the floor over there, snarling and slavering?

N8Ma March 24, 2009 at 8:10 pm

CHUCK TODD!

teebob2000 March 24, 2009 at 8:10 pm

So cute!! Look how nervous and all stuttery Chuck Todd is!! He’s got a man-crush on Obama and his podium’s rising I’ll bet.

comradepaulson March 24, 2009 at 8:10 pm

Is Chuck Todd prepared to sacrifice his facial hair?

randomsausage March 24, 2009 at 8:11 pm

That AP bitch is a bit dishevelled, no? Could have at least done her hair for Barry.

That AP bitch was lame, but had her hair all tousled and using her bedroom eyes on the prez. But what a lame, lame question. Was she channeling Reagan?

teebob2000 March 24, 2009 at 8:14 pm

Hey, out of order!!! Chuck’s just shouting crap out now!!! Bet Gibbs skips him tomorrow even when he’s in the front row waving his arms.

Nerdalicious March 24, 2009 at 8:15 pm

comradepaulson March 24, 2009 at 8:16 pm

Oh fuck, Tapper. What’s wrong with his hair? Is it always like that? It looks like Sam Donaldson’s old rug. Fuck him and the Senate Democrats.

So what do you think you can do with debt? Pay it off in 90 days, asshole? Chip, you tool!!!

Jukesgrrl March 24, 2009 at 8:18 pm

[re=272418]chascates[/re]: He can’t joke or laugh anymore. When he does, Morning Joe and Mika imply that he is mentally ill and ask every one of their guests, individually, to sign on to that theory.

hobgoblin of little minds March 24, 2009 at 8:18 pm

When is he going to unveil his master plan to take over the internets and destroy conservapedia.com?!?!

Nerdalicious March 24, 2009 at 8:19 pm

That’s right Prez get the 3 assholes out of the way right away. Ok Chip Reid, let’s sit on our asses and do nothing like the last war criminals (your best friend Dick Cheney).

cranky March 24, 2009 at 8:20 pm

hopey: STOP, being stupid. LOOK, go fuck yourself with a silver bullet. LISTEN, we are out of magic wands.

[re=272451]Jukesgrrl[/re]: Gotcha. He has to be serious. And he can’t dance like Dubya either.

teebob2000 March 24, 2009 at 8:21 pm

You know he wants to tell Reid, “we won’t grow, ASSHOLE!!”

SulkyGirl March 24, 2009 at 8:21 pm

Did I just see Helen Thomas go into a nod? Oh, she woke up. Good.

pants of doom March 24, 2009 at 8:21 pm

Reminder: Bush’s fault. He fucked us. That is all.

WonkaBee March 24, 2009 at 8:21 pm

I’ve always wanted to grow more

randomsausage March 24, 2009 at 8:21 pm

Oh forget this economy shit Barry, what’s the news on the Presidential pup?

Nerdalicious March 24, 2009 at 8:22 pm

To recap:

Chuck Insane Todd: Let’s ruin poor people even more
Chip Reid: We are ruining the next generation by trying to do something instead of sitting on out asses like the previous war criminals.

Prez: Where are you Nazi’s and your ideas? C’mon where are they? Let’s see your ideas. Oh, you don’t have any then stfu. Next.

Amoriahs March 24, 2009 at 8:23 pm

Does anyone else see Helen Thomas taking a nap next to Reid?

DustBowlBlues March 24, 2009 at 8:23 pm

I know why he shouldn’t do follow up questions: These dumb fucks just ask she same question twice.

Cicada March 24, 2009 at 8:23 pm

Oh Barry, quit asking the Republicans to provide alternatives. The only things they can say are “SOCIALISM BAD…GAYS BAD….ABORTION BAD”. It’s like asking for ideas from Teddy Ruxpin.

chascates March 24, 2009 at 8:23 pm

Jesus, I guess Helen Thomas DID show up but went to sleep. She needs some stimulatin’!

Jukesgrrl March 24, 2009 at 8:24 pm

Uh oh. Hopey’s talking about healthcare. Now the Republicans will accuse him of taking on too much and too little. They can’t see any connection btw. healthcare and the economy and they don’t know why Hopey keeps bringing up that dirty word. They also can’t see any contradiction in a person doing too much and too little simultaneously.
