too late he just left New Jersey .....he was speeching for Jon Corzine a former big executive for Goldman Sachs.....He could have asked Corzine what they did with the money

[JayInDallas]

While he's in NY, I would simply like him to lob a call into Goldman Sacks to ask them a simple question: "Where's the payback on that bailout money?"

[lawrencemuh]

forget branding..after 100years and a African America President it is time to change the Name from NAACP (colored people) to NAAPC (people of color)...pleazzza

[furey]

Why not meet with the NYCCAN Executive Council, Mr. President?

And the perpetual campaign continues, brought to you by "American Idol".

[JanPoore]

Do you say that about Sarah Palin too? To be fair and balanced, I sure hope so. You betcha!

[jazzman]

Is this the place where Obama deals away the public option and sends all of his followers into a deep depression or is this the place where he stands up for a really good bill and tells Nelson to shape up?

For some reason, I keep wanting to have Obama's back but I'm never sure if he has mine.

[1088]

He will be spending all his political capital on Health Care Reform, so I think he has your back!

[madatnewsmedia]

Obama isn't the problem! Why does everything comes down to him? Why aren't we holding all of our elected officials feet to the fire? Obama can do some things, but the GOP doesn't intend to help him and the democrats are acting like cowards!!

[rsprags]

How many times have you called your congressman, sent an email, and or donated to get ads out their putting these rethug lobbyist in place.
President Obama will get the strongest bill pasted and I love the strategy that he has used on the repurgs, blue dog demos, and the healthcare lobbyist. We only need 51 votes on the final bill and 60 demo senators to prevent a filibuster. Healthcare with a public option has come to America!

[eleanorhawking]

What kind of "paste" is he going to use? Glue stick, or regular old Elmer's?

[beebst]

that sounds fun. well kind of..

[McleanMe]

Impeach Obama!

[tisfilm]

impeach you

[JoanieNC]

Finally!!!! Truth!!!

[jazzman]

For what? Not being a total incompetent like Bush?

[madatnewsmedia]

If you didn't try to impeach Geroge Bush, I know damn well, there will be no impeachment of this President! You need to get a grip!!

[JanPoore]

Impeach Bush and Cheney! Oh wait. Too late. Indict Bush and Cheney for war crimes.

[KarenT]

What an unbelievable schedule! This man works way too hard. Very much appreciated but I just don't know how he does it.

[Michele Himmel]

When you`re ultra pampered and waited on hand and foot it is easy. lol

[madatnewsmedia]

Stupid remark from a stupid person!!

[VJKramer]

Get a clue! All President's get the same treatment. It's called "clearing the deck" so they can address (if they are capable) the difficult issues of the day. What do you want them to do? Wash the dinner dishes and then work on the economy, health care, unemployment, etc.

[JanPoore]

That was an ignorant remark. He wasn't pampered during the 2 year campaign when he kept the same kind of schedule. Every president receives the same treatment. Actually Obama does a lot for himself - even moved chairs back after meetings in the Oval Office. It was in the slideshow!

[jbrantow]

you mean like choking on a pretzel?

[MrsFonebone]

I really thought he would be a more hands-on president who didn't delegate away everything and just get briefings from underlings who had to spin what they tell him. I pictured him working long hours in the WH, actually drafting positions, reading background material and, you know, leading.
Obviously, I'm an idiot for thinking that.
He might as well make hay while the sun shines, because those polls are really going to start slipping soon.

[luvangelHussein330]

What makes you think that he isn't...oh I know your unpresidented access to the white house to know what he does and how he is doing it.
It's part of the Presidents job if you want to get anything done and utilize your team effectively you delgate...thats what top manager do.
I take it that you could be a micor manager.

[1088]

The President is not an idiot! He has his hands in everything! Just ask Hillary?

[madatnewsmedia]

Another stupid person with a stupid remark! He probably get more done in a day than you do all week! Where was the outrage for George Bush? We wouldn't be in this mess, if he had done his job, instead of being on a virtual vacation.

[rsprags]

Are you ignorant or living in denial? President Obama has such a great understand of the details of every issue going on in this country and the world; how could you even document what you just said. Please stop listening to FIXED News and get the fact lady Fishbone; you are making your self seem ignorant. Name a president that have explain the issues to the American people with such understanding and clarity as President Obama. Right, you cannot name them; President Clinton was close but he did not have the complexity of the issues nor the number of complex issues at the same time. No aide or anyone else is spending anything to President Obama; he is making the tough decision after hearing everyones views and review very complex information.
We all should be praying for his strength and continued growth rather than try to question his motives. He is up early, working long hours, reviewing the information, informing the media, American people and the world. He is also a father and a husband. President OBAMA IS ENGAGED!

[eleanorhawking]

"President Obama has such a great "understand"?

"Name a president that have "explain" the issues"?

"no aide or anyone else is "spending anything" to President Obama"?

"he is making the "tough decision" and "review" very complex information"?

"Get the "fact". ?

My word - do you ever proofread your own drivel? And you're calling somebody else "ignorant"? Thanks for the chuckle. You're a laugh riot.

[Just1Fan]

He's only a few months removed from being a Community Organizer , oops Senator. Give him time to get out of the compaign mode.

[Blufftonian]

Date night -- AGAIN?

[luvangelHussein330]

reading is fundemental. Had you read the article he is going for a fundraiser and to speak at an NAACP event...

[jbrantow]

tr0lls don't read anything....they just type their responses from the delusions in their minds.

[tisfilm]

GOPer can't read it..

[1088]

Yes! Date night with a another woman name NAACP. You cannot trust these cheating politicians. It's always another woman involve. (snark)

[eleanorhawking]

Another half a million shot to heck.

[sposton]

"The President will then attend a DNC fundraising dinner at the Waldorf Astoria. This event is closed press."

Where a very small portion of the money given to our banksters will be given to DNC as token of their appreciation for a job well done. Instead of giving trillions away to corporatocracy and funding our elections through a trickle down stream from this loot, we can publicly fund all of our elections for peanuts in comparison.

[1088]

Sorry, the President doesn't take Lobbyist donations. Try again! Yeah, Politico tried to investigate his last fundraising event, and found nothing on lobbyist. This is not the RNC event you know!

[sposton]

You are just kidding yourself.

[QueenOfScott]

I wonder where Bam will romance Chelle tonight in the Big Apple? How dreamy....

[obama4america]

The last time you had contact with another human being bringing back painful memories for you?

[QueenOfScott]

I must admit yes. Your mom was quite the brut!

[dezzertguy]

We have a saying at work, a moving target is hard to hit. Once someone is not doing well at their job the first thing they do is hit the road. They cannot be called into meetings, etc. Seems Obama uses the same strategy with his many trips.

[allonfla]

What a stupid remark.

[luvangelHussein330]

The President can be reached at all times... it is part of protocal...but whatever you want to tell yourself

[eleanorhawking]

I think you mean "protocol".

[obama4america]

You should start moving ... to the land of mor ons where you belong.

[rsprags]

Part 2 continue:
They got the car in the ditch; not they sitting around complaining about the money needed o get it out of the ditch! They don't understand that this strategy is not working with the American people; we will remember every time they voted against us with their lobbyist friends! Thanks President Obama for a job well done; keep up the good work!
As you respond to them remember these are your bottom feeders trying to convince the rest of us that they are morally superior, love God and Others, and they are concern about the deficit in this country. They are very angry because the majority is not buying what they are selling and they really can't get over it, so, they are banking everything on President Obama and the democratic congress failing.

[madatnewsmedia]

You seem to know so much about this subject, so I have to wonder if you do the same thing! Just saying!!

[rsprags]

Remember serious HP posters we are responding to the ranting of the selectively ignorant and the uneducated! These repurg wi ng-nu ts thrive on being ignorant, uneducated, lies, hypocrisy, and misinformation. If it not a lie like great family values, fiscally responsible, believe in diversity, all inclusive so there is no need for laws governing this behavior, and strong on foreign policy; NOT REALLY, they will not believe it.
It is driving them insane to have a President that is intelligent, with an understanding of the issues, has integrity, love his wife and daughters, desire for them to travel with him and like spending time with them, enjoy his staff and like to hear opposing views, maintain a peace and diplomatic relationship and environment with friends and foes, listen to the expertise of his cabinet members, and, is willing to take responsibility for governing as well as making the tough decisions. The Party of "NO" is sitting around doing nothing after they allowed their great god sent President Bush to ruin this country and the world.

[eleanorhawking]

The "selectively ignorant". Did you get a close lightning strike just about the time you wrote that statement?

[QueenOfScott]

Something is missing from your post...I can't quite put my finger on it.

Oh, yes - you left out "cool". Bam is "cool". Don't forget to always include "cool" when idolizing Bam.

[KnowzyRowzy]

1088.....

[Samalabear]

How can you say anything nice when it comes to Obama fundraising for Corzine? One thing sure about Obama -- he is a party man from top to bottom.

[jazzman]

So?

[obama4america]

Yeah, and?

[oldjerseygirl]

Would you prefer that he fundraise for Reps?
