Obama walks out of press conference, leaves Bill Clinton in charge?
« on: December 11, 2010, 12:04:17 AM »
Today President Obama started a press conference on issues relating to the economy, and then very weirdly up and left, putting Bill Clinton in charge of taking questions.

Obama said he was running late on meeting Michelle.

Is he coming completely unglued, or is he just afraid to answer some tough questions for the first time in his life?

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I saw the video of this with the sound off. I couldn't help but laugh because it looked like some guy at a party just clapping his friend on the back and saying goodbye as he left the shindig.

Doesn't Clinton still get some ridiculous amount of taxpayer money and a taxpayer-provided staff?  His tie isn't straight, and I have suits that fit better than that one.

Neither. He is simply henpecked to a ridiculous degree.

When Carter was president what we now call the main stream media asked the question, "Is the presidency too big for one man?'  When Reagan assumed office it was evident the answer to the Carter question was, "Yes, it is too big for Jimmuh Carter."  Flash forward to this week.  Now I think the question is properly phrased.

Perhaps his other suits needed dry cleaning?

Caesar was the guy who eliminated co-consulate de-facto.

Co-Consuls would be awesome.
