Obama on 60 Minutes

The President will be on CBS's news mag 60 Minutes tomorrow and I can only imagine that they didn't let him use his teleprompter. In a ninety minute interview on his own turf, where you'd think he would do better, he manages to whine about his critics, signal the death knell for Tim Geithner's term at Treasury, and fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.

Obama gets sarcastic about high expectations for Geithner's bank recovery plan:

It's going to take a little bit more time than we would like to make sure that we get this plan just right. Of course, then we'd still be subject to criticism: "What's taken so long? You've been in office a whole 40 days and you haven't solved the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression!"

Actually, at the time of Obama's interview yesterday, it had been 60 days. The public is justified in believing that he should have had a plan to remedy the bank situation before now because he has been telling us for two months that one was absolutely necessary to save us from breadlines and that, of course!, he had one.

His first attempt was a giant flop when it was released on February 11 and everyone realized that he didn't have so much of a plan as an vague intention. The second attempt, details of which leaked today, does not sound much better (can you say "moral hazard"? I'm half-convinced this is an intentionally defective plan so he can ditch it and get on with the nationalizations).

Obama also noted that Geithner's job was safe and that he will henceforth be known as the Scapegoat-in-Perpetuity; even if he wanted to quit, the President wouldn't let him:

Sorry, Buddy, you've still got the job.

This is a vote of confidence from the President, sure. It's also a threat: there is no escape.

Obama's also made ignorant comments about Guantanamo Bay:

"How many terrorists have actually been brought to justice under the philosophy that is being promoted by Vice President Cheney? It hasn't made us safer. What it has been is a great advertisement for anti-American sentiment."

Guantanamo Bay was not designed or ever intended to bring terrorists to justice. It was intended to be a prison for combatants in the War on Terror. It has also been used for intelligence gathering. Obama's preoccupation with "justice" stems from his desire to pretend that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are police actions with criminal justice goals, rather than wars for the safety and survival of the United States and American interests at home and abroad.

What a disaster.

1 Is Obama trying to nationalize cable and TV? He sure seems to be on both an awful lot these days. I just want a week or two where I don't have to jump channels to keep from seeing him every night.

14 Yeah, the fact that Treasury is not staffed is very odd.  I think that if he were serious about trying to resolve the financial crisis quickly, he'd have Treasury up and running.  My guess is that he's letting the crisis drag itself out, even betting that it will solve itself and then he can both use the "energy" and claim he fixed it.

President's BO's actions brings to mind other great leaders of our time like Stalin, Lennin and Hitler.  The protrayal of AIG executives as the great evil reminds you of what was done to other groups in history to deflect criticism of the fearless leader.

President 666 never ending appearances on tv and radio are more common than haemorrhoid commercials and just as disturbing  but less enlightening. 

This smirking chimp demonstrates the Left's concepts of diplomacy by insulting our allies and grovelling before sworn enemies.

This miserable failure is so incompetent that he has spent more money in 60 days the all our other presidents combined and has zero to show for it besides sinking our economy.

Its going to be a long four years, if President 666 allows elections  But its more likely he'll follow the customs of his native Kenya, one man, one vote, one time.

38 I think that if he were serious about trying to resolve the financial crisis quickly, he'd have Treasury up and running.

I'm beginning to have my doubts as to whether he is serious about solving the financial crisis at all, much less quickly.

I'm not hyperbolizing either. 

After the election, I thought that at least knowing who the next President was going to be would at least reduce some of the uncertainty that kept businesses from making decisions and taking action.  Sort of along the lines of, "Well, we might not like it but now we finally know which way to jump".

 I also took some small measure of comfort in the idea that while fallout from the financial crisis might mean a pretty bumpy ride ahead at the personal level, it would most likely be measured in years not decades and would force the new administration and the Democrat controlled congress to at least temper some of their more insane and destructive ambitions, but the Spendulus has cured me of those delusions.

So far an ailing economy and an acute global financial crisis have done nothing but provide impetus for Obama's policy designs.  As he rides this avalanche down the mountain, it seems clear to me that even if he deigns to notice the widespread destruction being wreaked in its path, it bothers him not one whit.

WASHINGTON – Hundreds of war protesters from across the country gathered in Washington on Saturday to mark the sixth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.

Organizers from the ANSWER Coalition said more than 1,000 groups sponsored the protest to call for an end to the Iraq war. Holding signs that read "We need jobs and schools, not war" and "Stop the war!"

More than a 1,000 groups rallied hundreds of people?

Anti-war activists said even though former President George W. Bush is out of power, they are disappointed with what they see as stalled action from Obama. Several of them said they supported Obama during his campaign, but that his administration has let them down by not ending the war sooner.

"Obama seems to be led somewhat by the bureaucracies. I want him to follow up on his promise to end the war," said 66-year-old Perry Parks of Rockingham, N.C., who served in the Army for nearly 30 years, including in Vietnam. "But the longer it goes, the more it seems like he's stalling."


It's got to be breaking their little bleeding hearts to not have Bush to protest any more.

Does anyone really think it was a coincidence that WFP aka ACORN, did a bus trip to AIG executives homes today? Does anybody think a guy who believes in wealth distribution and nationalizing many of our keep industries like energy and healthcare wants to actually fix the banks when he could more easily let them fail and nationalize them?

Cloward Piven.

He has been following this strategy from the get go. It was the CRA with the help of ACORN that begat the subprime crisis that led to this mess. Obama was up to his neck long before he became president.

Sure, he's an narcissistic tool but he has a plan and it's rolling out right before our eyes.

47 He has had more than 60 days.  Obama announced Geithner and Summers on November 24.  Both were involved before that date in meetings with Paulson and the Fed on the TARP and other issues pertaining to the economy.  I seem to recall both Obama and McCain started receiving DAILY briefings from Paulson around the end of September.  As far as I'm concerned, he has had at least 4 months -- with his top team in place and with full knowledge of the entire economic situation -- to come up with a plan.  He has failed.

He can simply cap salaries of lawyers.

What's wrong with that?  They don't earn money in any capitalistic way.  They don't exchange a service for mutual benefit, they're enforcers of a protection racket, for the most part.

There is no reason that lawyers can't all be mere public servants, whether they defend a corporation, administer a mortgage signing or defend a condemned man.  There is no reason for them to get rich off the backs of the taxpayer-supported legal system.

54 The reason Obama hasn't focused on staffing the Treasury is because he wants all policy power concentrated in the West Wing. He thinks the Cabinet is an outdated model of management. But here's the thing- he has no management experience, so he really doesn't know a better model. Like many first time managers, he doesn't set goals and overarching themes, he holds all decision making authority to himself. But he becomes overwhelmed and can't make any decisions.

Also, why does Obama keep going on television shows? He's the President of the United States, he gets a fair bit of media coverage every day given his position as Mr. Uber World Leader, why does he think he needs to keep going on television?

I used to be skeptical of those people who claimed he was doing some weird hynosis thing with his words, but considering how much air time the man demands I'm beginning to wonder if there's something to it.

When's he going to go on the Oprah show? Perhaps he can use it as a platform to "redistribute" some of the cash they are clawing back from AIG. Invite hard luck cases to be the studio audience and then shower them with money. And tell them the best news is that just for them it's all tax free! Oprah can kick in some cars and houses and big screen televisions and the little kids can come up on stage and beat on pinatas in the shape of Wall Stree CEOs heads.

And as to people complaining that he hasn't solved the problem?  You can't pass a trillion-dollar "stimulus" package and then complain when people point out that you haven't solved the problem.  If he had taken marginal steps, then he could rightfully argue that his plans need to be given time.

He said that he could fix the problem and stimulus was part of it.  Epic Fail.

Like many first time managers, he doesn't set goals and overarching themes, he holds all decision making authority to himself.

Not quite but I'm trying to figure out what the paradigm really is.  It's clear that Obama is not really in charge, except of self-promotion.  He's a control freak who doesn't want to do any actual work.  At least Carter drew up the White House tennis schedule.

He's certainly used to others doing the heavy lifting for him.  But it seems that he wants central control.  So maybe he delegates to Emanuel and Emanuel is overwhelmed but he can't delegate because Obama wants his hand in all the pies.

This kind of centralized management style creates other problems.  You get blamed for failure but not rewarded for success.  Hence, people are afraid to take on any initiative for fear of ending up under the bus.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. – A busload of activists representing working- and middle-class families paid visits Saturday to the lavish homes of American International Group executives to protest the tens of millions of dollars in bonuses awarded by the struggling insurance company after it received a massive federal bailout.

About 40 protesters — outnumbered by reporters and photographers from as far away as Germany — sought to urge AIG executives who received a portion of the $165 million in bonuses to do more to help families.

How can AIG help families? Oh yeah, give away their money to these idiots.

Another protester, Claire Jeffery, of Bloomfield, said she's on the verge of foreclosure. She works as a housekeeper; her husband, a truck driver, can't find work.

"I love my home," she said. "I really want people to help us."

And there it is. Give away their money to the freeloaders.

Mary Huguley, of Hartford, said AIG executives should share their wealth with people like her sister, who is facing foreclosure.

"You ought to share it, and God will bless you for doing it," she said.

The stupdity of these people is stunning.

74 A glimpse into the future of our latest Narcissistic President:

"A common sense approach to the problems caused by the narcissist would be to challenge him by pointing out his behavioural problems and the negative influence they are having on the organisation, but this would certainly invoke their immediate denial, followed by distortion of facts. The narcissist would simply rewrite history."

Sound familiar? How about this:
"Narcissistic individuals may never have learned to be skillful at public deception; they usually said and did what they liked and without a care for what others thought. Their poorly conceived rationalizations may, therefore, fail to bring relief and, more seriously, may evoke scrutiny and deprecating comments from others. At these times, narcissistic people may be pushed to the point of using projection as a defense."

The solution:
"Perhaps the only solution for an organisation faced with a destructive narcissist is to force him into a narcissistic breakdown. As Kernberg noted, narcissistic patients persistently deny they have any problems or limitations and consequently lack any motivation for treatment, until faced with a major failure (narcissistic breakdown)"

The end game?
"When the narcissist ultimately fails, the fall will be long and hard. Litigation is likely to result, so it is essential that the narcissist's performance problems, disruptive conduct, and abuse of others be thoroughly documented as they occur."

77 AmishDude, I think part of the problem is that Barry doesn't really know what end-state he wants to achieve. I don't think he wants to the the Union of Soviet Socialist States of America. Clearly, he does want to see a more liberal political end-state, and sees government as the cure for societal ills. But how to achieve those goals, in terms of real policy, seems to elude him (as it must, since it is a chimera). Lacking that vision of what concrete steps he wants to achieve, he fails in the mission of a manager/leader in communicating that. That leaves everyone beneath him unsure of what the hell they are supposed to  be doing. And since the penalty for screwing up is unpleasant, they do nothing.

And they employ people to do things like landscape and clean their houses and they dine out a lot and they take vacations. All of that shit they do, it employs people. And you grab assing their money means they no longer do that shit and those people no longer have jobs. And then, guess what eventually there are more people lined up with their hands out looking for free money then there are people with free money to give.

I am so sick of this stupid class war. Bozos are going to drive us straight into a real live war right here in the US with their "haves" and "have-nots" and the whole persecution of the wealthy.

83 well you have to think about this kind of deep. The lightworker wants his hands in everything because THAT IS the leftist mind set. Why did they blame bush for everything? Because they expected him to be hands on with everything. Katrina was his fault because he didn't carjack a cruise ship, stick on a captains hat and sail down to rescue people single handed. He fucked up, he trusted people whose fucking job it was to do that. Oh like maybe the asshole mayor, or governor, you know, the ones that actually run the fucking state. Bush's style was to let people do their jobs, and yeah sometimes they fucked up, but bush was not a micro manager.

This is also a glowing look into the liberal mindset. Why do they have this thing for dictators? Because again it represents a central powerful figure. A human version of a star trek replicator. They just want to push a button and get all that they want and have shit handed to them. They aren;t about individualism, they operate as a collective, and to do that you need 1 central brain.

yeah well obama thinks he's the fucking borg queen.

I think I'm finally getting Obama's dilemma. He's made a career out of setting two sides against each other, black v. white, poor v. rich, labor v. business, environment v. progress, and always taking the victim's role.

The scenery has changed and somebody needs to tell Bambi. It's hard to claim 'perpetual victimhood' (TM - Obama) when you hold the most powerful position in the world. I'm sorry but the press can say all day that your 'staff' makes you look bad, but the bottom line is you look bad. Eventually even an Obot can figure out who hired the staff and that he's not getting his mortgage paid as promised.

In the end all the unrest he roils up will consume him. He who sows the wind reaps the whirlwind.

Because he fronts the most responsible position in the world, and the man behind the teleprompter is playing him as bad or worse than he is playing Tim Geithner.

It looks bad for us, but the anger that he's so good at stoking won't just consume the producers.

Obama's Pandora policy is suicide, but he's the only one who doesn't know it.

At least a blind Samson knew what he was doing when he pulled down the walls.

88 Besides Haas' home, protesters on Saturday also visited the Fairfield home of AIG executive Douglas Poling. They were met both times by security guards. They left letters that acknowledged some executives, including Haas and Poling, are giving up the money but that asked them to support higher taxes on families earning more than $500,000 a year.


Funny how there's no mention of who arranged this protest or who called the media to cover it.

89 This whole thing is a lie from your government, perpetrated by the Obama administration and the Democrat leadership in the House of Representatives to cook up artificial outrage over contractually obligated bonuses.  Ed Morrissey says it's a freak show.  It's a circus, a populist circus.  It is a freak show, but it is worse.  This has to be a violation of the oath of their office, what they are doing.  Now, I know, $165 million, it may not seem like chump change. People are saying it's chump change in comparison to all the bailout money, but $165 million stand-alone going to individuals is not a small amount of money.  I agree with that.  But people are being tugged in the wrong direction on this, and the best and the brightest, the wizards of smart, are lying through their teeth.  And the primary culprits -- and I don't mind being partisan here -- are liberal Democrats.  

And one of the things we know about liberalism is that it is a lie.  It has to lie in order to survive.  It has to create demons.  It has to create enemies that have to be destroyed.  So while the president of the United States -- and he claims he didn't know 'til March 10th, and I don't believe that.  I don't believe the president of the United States didn't know anything about it. I don't believe Geithner didn't know. We know now Geithner knew on March 3rd.  We knew Congress knew before March 3rd.  Do you understand this?  On March the 3rd, 17 days ago, Geithner was asked by members of Congress about these bonuses.  We ought to get some audio from Crowley.  If we have any, if there is any.  I would love to have audio from Crowley acting shocked and stunned and surprised on these bonuses on a date later than March 3rd when he brought them to everybody's attention.  

And if Crowley knew about them on March 3rd, when did they really know about it?  They knew enough to start asking Geithner about it on March 3rd.  Geithner is lying through his teeth when he says he only knew about this on March 10th.  "I didn't know; I only learned the full scope on March 10th," he's saying.  We have been had.  We have been insulted.  Our intelligence has been insulted.  We are being played like village idiots.  They look at us as suckers who will believe anything, and it's all to protect their dirty little rear ends, their corrupt little rear ends.  I'm having trouble describing how I feel without uttering any profanities here.  I haven't been this mad in a long time, and I'm made not just about their behavior, but I am really mad and saddened at the same time at how damned easy it's been for these people to mislead this country.  That's what's scary.  It has been too damn easy to create a mob aimed at the wrong people, a mob being used by the Democrat Party to destroy the United States of America as you and I have known it.  This is about liberalism, folks.  This is not about politics as usual.  This is about an ideology or a psychology, whatever you want to call it -- systematically now with no strains, no constraints, nothing to stop them -- finally implementing every dream they have ever had, to destroy this nation as founded.

77 AmishDude, I think part of the problem is that Barry doesn't really know what end-state he wants to achieve.

XBradTC, I think you are 100% right.  Barry's philosophy and educational background is from the spoiled teenager (see Ayers, Wm.) side of the political spectrum.  Since the 1960s, their political philosophy has been nothing but an oppositional one. 

They are post-Marxist.  The Marxist made a flawed, though internally-consistent argument about the fruit of the workers' labor being "stolen" from him.  As such, Marxists advocated any destabilizing movement in society.  The Marxist prophecy (I could spend a day talking about the Left as a fundamentalist religious movement) argued that the inevitable overthrow of society would bring about the Workers' Revolution.

The post-Marxist has been working for this overthrow for so long that he's forgotten that his beneficiary is supposed to be the worker.  It's been a movment of "intellectuals" working with the indigent for so long that they've forgotten that they are supposed to care about the worker.

Of course, I believe that part of the reason Obama won't release his grades are that they're mediocre and would not have gotten him a coveted Harvard Law spot but a large part is that most of his courses are just a rework of the same Marxist theories and explicitly say so in the titles.

Bullshit. The anti-American sentiment has been there for 30 years. Gitmo did serve as a convenient fig leaf for America-hating lefties in this country to centralize all their weepy angst and dishonest mythologizing after Abu Ghraib died down. Neither Obama nor his ignorant supporters know the first fucking thing about Gitmo except pussy Hollywood types wear orange ribbons about it.

Posted by: UGAdawg at March 21, 2009 04:38 PM (MDHAs)

101 Here comes Obama's big plan to sidestep his aig idiocy and tardgate:

nyt:

Increasing oversight of executive pay has been under consideration for some time, but the decision was made in recent days as public fury over bonuses has spilled into the regulatory effort.

The officials said that the administration was still debating the details of its plan, including how broadly it should be applied and how far it could range beyond simple reporting requirements. Depending on the outcome of the discussions, the administration could seek to put the changes into effect through regulations rather than through legislation.

One proposal could impose greater requirements on the boards of companies to tie executive compensation more closely to corporate performance and to take other steps to assure that outsize bonuses are not paid before meeting financial goals.

The new rules will cover all financial institutions, including those not now covered by any pay rules because they are not receiving federal bailout money. Officials say the rules could also be applied more broadly to publicly traded companies, which already report about some executive pay practices to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Last month, as part of the stimulus package, Congress barred top executives at large banks getting rescue money from receiving bonuses exceeding one-third of their annual pay.

After Leno and 60 Minutes, Oprah seems like the logical next step. It's time COOTUS (Community Organizer of the United States) stopped by Her studio to kiss the ring. After all, it was She who anointed Him 'The One'.

117 Waterhouse - it looks like it will start with banks and other financials and extend to all publically traded companies....we've truly jumped the shark as a nation, we're no longer the world's capitalist leader. 

Officials say the rules could also be applied more broadly to publicly traded companies, which already report about some executive pay practices to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

It's just onomatopoeia. Pika pika is the sound of sparks or sparkling things. Chuu is just a sound of something shooting or rushing out.

In order to meet this emergency I propose a 90% tax on the royalties of all books whose subject matter is a Memoir/Reflection on Race or entitled "The Audacity of Hope". I mean, really, their author is getting government money to hold a job (apparently not to do it though). Why should he prosper disproportionately in these tough time when folks are struggling to buy arugula.

The tax to take effect as of January, 2007.

Yeah, okay... let's not arrest people who shoot at us, try to bomb us, develop plans against the US or perform other functions inside terrorists... opps, sorry... man-made disaster organizations. Nah, let's not interrogate them either. I mean, it's making us unpopular. The only people we should take guns away from are American citizens.

The media hates news.  The media loves events it can write about ahead of time.  You rise to the top of the media food chain writing features, not writing hard news.  Do you really need to even go to the protest to know what to write about it?

Foreclosure Fraud

Recent statistics suggest that escalating foreclosures provide criminals with the opportunity to exploit and defraud vulnerable homeowners seeking financial guidance. The perpetrators convince homeowners that they can save their homes from foreclosure through deed transfers and the payment of up-front fees. This “foreclosure rescue” often involves a manipulated deed process that results in the preparation of forged deeds. In extreme instances, perpetrators may sell the home or secure a second loan without the homeowners’ knowledge, stripping the property’s equity for personal enrichment"  http://tinyurl.com/yoox2n

A: All of them. 100%. Locking up terrorists so they can't kill innocent people IS justice.

146 "Pressed by Kroft that some of the released prisoners have returned to terrorist groups, the president said, "There is no doubt that we have not done a particularly effective job in sorting through who are truly dangerous individuals … to make sure [they] are not a threat to us," he says.".............

So we've released truly dangerous individuals who were a threat to us...but locking them up didn't make us safer.

GITMO is used to detain enemy POWs and glean intelligence information on terrorist cells and activities.  We do that to stop more terrorists dead (literally) in their tracks as well as prevent other attacks from happening.

Obama's idea of "justice" is to treat them as ordinary defendants in the judicial system.  That is wrong on so many levels. Not the least of which is that we are at war, the "defendants" in question are not American citizens, and (last I checked) are not guaranteed rights under our Bill of Rights and Constitution.

@ 57

Even if that bill passed, who is going to enforce it?  Govt. Ag Departments and Health Depts. are state run agencies and the states are cutting budgets...you know, like we do as individuals when revenue sources shrink.   They would have to throw stimulus or omnibus revenue at the problem, and there just is not going to be enough money to go around to actually implement  that.  I suppose they could bring busloads of Acorn and Brownshirts around to patrol private gardens ("excuse me but is that a tomato plant you have mixed in with your hollyhocks?), but even the hippies and the libs would rise up against them on this one and  it  would actually be a cause that would unite liberals, conservatives and everyone in between.  It would be ugly, I promise.

I know this has been said before but I think they are just throwing everything at the flystrip and seeing what sticks.  This won't be one of them.  If it goes too far it might actually knock some sense into some libs when they figure out that over-regulation is really a bad thing, and that it is Obama's primary goal.

When an ACORN piece of shit comes to your door with a Census, refuse to give him personal information.  If he argues, GUN HIM DOWN.

I am fucking sick of people thinking that all R's are frightened accountants and that all D's are big bad boys who walk the mean streets.  Once women see us for the rugged he-men that we are, and see them as the indoor, sedentary, effeminate FAGGOTS they are, women's cunts will drip for us instead of them.
