Obama at painfull press conference in korea

So, let's see. A man is in a foreign country. He graciously attempts to recognize his hosts in that foreign country. He gets caught in a momentarily tricky situation in which he wants to both be polite to his hosts and also to someone else who is not his host, and balances both of those instincts to be courteous. He does a less-than-perfect job of it, but by no means is rude or insulting to anyone involved. And yet his critics will - predictably - find fault with him regardless of what he does. The man could cure world hunger, bring world peace, bring prosperity and good health to every single human on the planet, and still be dismissed by his critics as a failure. One really has to wonder who the 'failures' in this little parable are?

Oh, please do carry on .....

yeah, quite true, but we're not talking about gwb here.

As a former lecturer in constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School you would think a few questions would not make him quake in his shoes.

He was so pwned by the chinese reporter. Anyone here who can't see that is just out of touch (with reality).

The reporter was just doing his job - trying to ask a question. I don't think his intent was to embarass Obama but like any good journalist he did a great job of being pushy to get his question in and then looking like he was wronged not to get a chance to ask.

Not sure pwned is the right term here, but if anything Obama pwnwd himself with his setup and reponse.

As soon as I saw the first few seconds of the video, I guessed how it was going to end. He (Obama) kind of set himself up for it to turn out the way it did.

Yep. You can note the regulars here who relish in every orgasmic moment they can have at ridiculing the President. Their obsessive hatred for the man to where there is nothing redeeming about him is psychotic.

He fumbled that moment with the chinese reporter and you know it. You never admit a wrong ever. Psychotic you say? :whistle:

Ο fumbled εκείνη την στιγμή με τις κινεζικές δημοσιογράφο και το ξέρεις. Ποτέ δεν παραδέχονται λάθος ποτέ. Ψυχωτικά σας sa?

BOING!

For sure. The sheep here are following their Socialist leader over the cliff. Life is good.

This was nothing more than a moron trying hard to recover his composure when he was called out on something minor but having no teleprompter to cue him we saw him stumble badly. He could have just said, "yes, go ahead." This moron is making us look bad as a country to even to have voted someone so inept.

It was OK then. The Socialists get a free ride of course.

Hardly. Dubbya was a lifetime underachiever who was just lucky enough to be born into one of the most powerful families in this country. He was never known as being articulate, let alone being able complete a sentence. But that's what y'all Right Wingers wanted. You don't like some "uppity, college-boy" in the White House. So it's a bit ironic that y'all griped at Obama the candidate, for being too smart for your tastes and now yahoos on message boards who still haven't gotten over the 2008 election take orgasmic pleasure in finding even the most mundane issue to ridicule the President with, under the narrative that he's just as bumbling an idiot as that country bumpkin y'all voted for before. Sad and pathetic really.

Lots of people go to college. And some of them happen to be underachieving students who rely on nepotism to get them through college. Dubbya was a frat boy whose best subject was beer bonging.
