Very nice, well thought out response.

But all I could think about while watching it was haven't we got advanced technology in cameras nowadays that don't have to make such obnoxious sounds?

DEAD HORSE.

Class act

No apology needed. The would-be Emperor wears no clothes and it's long past time someone said it aloud.

QM - still rubbin the lamp, hoping for the genie that the Right's told him was there. No he hasn't been the dream everyone tried to make him out to be, but he's still 10x better so far than Bush ever was. And that at least, is a step in the right direction.

In this case, it is not the emperor, but his critics that wear no clothes. They offer no alternatives, no plan, and no constructive criticism of any kind, in fact, their attacks are against things they themselves have INVENTED, and not the actual words, actions and bills in question. Rabid, insane loony comparisons to Hitler, communism and marxists, nonsensical protests to things not even in the bill, complete and utter distortions of the facts, and so on. The situation is so absurd that one does not know whether to laugh or cry at these brainwashed GlennBeck-bots loonies popping up in town halls, and now, apparently the disease has spread all the way up to congress. Tragic.

Best president ever

You're discrediting all other arguments you make with comments like this QM. That sort of disrespectful outburst has no place in intelligent debate, and to think otherwise calls into question one's ability to use empathy as a tool to persuade others.

Nobody wins support for their views with disrespectful actions like that, they only serve to rally the most radical sect of others that share their minority viewpoint. Once you throw intelligent conversation out the window, the ultimate escalation point is violence. That comment was effectively a violent act from a desperate man, his desperation forced by his inability to properly express himself due to his limited intelligence.

Don't align yourself with that sort, you're only ultimately undermining your own arguments.

This quantumushroom dimwit reposts Ann Coulter screeds, what does anyone expect, the guy's obviously forgotten to take his meds. Go easy on the poor fellow.

Speaking of advance technology. You think the press could use a camera that doesn't make annoying sounds.

The clicking is cameras?

^That or its his speech writer using the old typewriter again.

that girl in the back wants his nuts.

just saying.

I think that's the stenographer. It's silent when he pauses.

Obama is admirable in his attitude, demeanour, speeches, people skills, leadership, etc. Unfortunately, that blinds his admirers to the problem of his policies and priorities, in the end that's all that matters.

The healthcare reform he wants is a complete waste of time and resources that will only make things worse. Besides, it's a terrible priority, the fundamental problems of the US economy are far from over, America's wealth is being obliterated by excessive government spending. More government participation in anything only adds fuel to the fire.
