The sound system is kind of messed up. Lots of thumping. Roll back the tax cuts to the wealthy. HELL YES! End Reagonomics now.
So far he's right on target: 1. tax cuts alone don't work; especially if targeted to the wealthy 2. tax cuts have been tried and they led us into this mess 3. here's what we need to invest in 4. my plan Nice work so far.
Great answer to the first question. If you delay action, you can create a negative spiral. We want to avoid Japan's "lost decade." Stressing how important it is to act now. Worst economic crisis since the depression.
How did tax cuts cause a recession? It's not like they were accompanied by a reduction in government spending.
Because the teleprompters are on the right and left. I assume he's using them. Didn't really notice. Plus, this isn't technically an address to the nation. It's a press conference. The audience is in the room.
He did when he was speaking to the camera. Right now he's looking at the person who asked him the first question.
Tax cuts to the wealthy over the last 30 years created this recession/depression. Let's finally kill the theory that "supply side" helps anyone besides the very rich.
Sorry, he never once looked into the camera during his entire 10 minute openning. I thought he'd be speaking to American people, but perhaps Knave is right.
Tax cuts over the last 30 years caused this recession? Are you kidding me? Good to see Barack Obama lying when he says economists across the spectrum want this Mega Government expansion package. How many conservative or libertarian economists favor this?
Obviously he's picking reporters off a predetermined list. Did Bush do that? I honestly don’t recall because Dubya held so few of these kind of pressers.
Obama is really crappy at arguing. Why should the feds build schools? Because SC has old schools. Um, that don't follow.
