POTUS to speak at 4 pm ET,

[alsame]

per CNN

Pundits are assuming it's about Ukraine.

[Lex]

1. Not about the Joan Rivers' thing?

[WI_DEM]

2. I doubt that would (at this time) warrant a presidential statement to be telecast live.

[msanthrope]

4. I think Biden is the point man on that. nt

[Lex]

11. heh

[Nye Bevan]

3. Hopefully about Spiderwoman's buttocks.

He has avoided this issue for far too long.

[LordGlenconner]

6. Agreed.

The time has come to address it.

[msanthrope]

7. You are a very naughty boy....

[steve2470]

21. naughty girl, I think

I think Nye said she is a woman.

[msanthrope]

26. Even better. I'll have to ask them. nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. .

[CTyankee]

23. Goodness, you must be a little desperate...

to wade into a completely nonrelated thread with that.

try to hold it together. you'll feel better.

[Nye Bevan]

24. Thank you so much. I'm trying, I really am.

But sometimes it isn't easy.

[CTyankee]

25. I know, I know...but don't worry, everything will look better tomorrow after you've

had a rest. You've had a terrible day and now it is time to lay down your heavy load...

[Nye Bevan]

30. I love this place.

It's truly like having a second family.

Thanks again for helping me to work through the Spiderwoman buttocks trauma.

[CTyankee]

33. Oh, it's nothing really. I used to be a kindergarten teacher...

[MohRokTah]

5. Could be the long awaited EO regarding immigration.

Though I must admit, I expect that one tomorrow after 3.

[Laelth]

8. Quite. n/t

-Laelth

[CJCRANE]

9. He's leaving DU.

He's fed up with all the infighting.

[MohRokTah]

10. You win today's internets. eom

[msanthrope]

12. All right....you won the thread! nt

[IDemo]

16. He'll create a sockpuppet and return in no time..

[RiffRandell]

22. Best response.

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. And who can blame him?

[flamingdem]

13. There are too many topics to predict!

But the russkies probably get attention today

[Beaverhausen]

14. speaking now

http://www.whitehouse.gov/live

[flamingdem]

15. VERY solid points on the US involvement in the ME

Don't worry we ain't going to war without other countries stepping up.

Now that is the challenge and they need to step up.

Iraq said they can't handle Isis yesterday but Potus counters by saying that it's a political problem..

[AngryAmish]

19. This is why I voted for him.

Not gonna join every war.

[flamingdem]

27. Now the MSM is attacking him for "not having a strategy"

taking out of context that he was discussing the Isis in Syria at the time.

Plus, he was about to have a meeting on that issue.

For sure every fool with a right wing blog is attacking on this issue now..

[jakeXT]

18. "State actors" without naming Saudi Arabia and Qatar

[flamingdem]

29. They are the problem. So glad he pointed there

even if it's ultimately useless they need to be called to the table.

[conservaphobe]

20. President Obama has set the bar high on foreign policy.

Not too hawkish or too dovish.

The Goldilocks Doctrine is what I call it.

[flamingdem]

28. I'll take Goldilocks over

the Wicked Witch of the West anyday!

[AngryAmish]

32. There are elements of his adm I nistration and the US deep state that want war

I rip the President a lot but he is keeping us out of war. These experts, and they all think they are experts, want war. Some want to back Assad, Iran and the Alawites. Some want to back Turkey and ISIS.

And they can all go to hell. We are taking our toys and going home. Thank you, Mr. President.

[flamingdem]

34. Exactly!

Lay it on 'em because there are no adults in the room as usual.

There is a way out of the cycle and Obama is finding it. We need to get out of there and stay out.

[conservaphobe]

35. Abso-fucking-lutely!
