DISQUS

Here's the one they should be covering... I was STUNNED by this question



Chuck Todd of NBC: Thank you, Mr. President. Some have compared this financial crisis to a war. And in times of war, past presidents have called for some form of sacrifice.

Some of your programs, whether for Main Street or Wall Street, have actually cushioned the blow for those that were irresponsible during this — during this economic period of prosperity or supposed prosperity that you were talking about.

Why, given this new era of responsibility that you're asking for, why haven't you asked for something specific that the PUBLIC should be sacrificing to participate in this economic recovery?


Obama shook his head and looked like he wanted to call the guy an idiot and then responded...

OBAMA: With respect to the American people, I think folks are sacrificing left and right. I mean, you've got a lot of parents who are cutting back on everything to make sure that their kids can still go to college. You've got workers who are deciding to cut an entire day — an entire day's worth of pay so that their fellow co-workers aren't laid off.

I read the book.. It's written as an Oral History.. I've read those types of books before (Japan at War) and Max Brooks got the style down perfectly.

I am weak willed public.. I see ad... Must throw own cat in garbage can.. I weak willed public... Need help... Cannot think for self... Must throw out own cat now.
