[gateley]

14. Rachel's on the Panel, so we'll get some extra good commentary! nt

[flamingdem]

16. I hope he destroys the Paul Ryan budget nt

[FrenchieCat]

He did.

[flamingdem]

31. This is an excellent job, he is taking hold of messaging nt

[FrenchieCat]

34. and we need to run with it.

[tallahasseedem]

18. I aint gonna lie...

I'm nervous.

Big Eddie isn't helping matters.

[vaberella]

19. Don't watch him..he just gives me heartburn. n/t

[tallahasseedem]

21. I have his live stream on...

Ugh!

[gateley]

22. Yeah, always a knot in the stomach before one of these. Although I usually

try to understand and see the position Obama is in dealing with those jackasses, I'm still nervous awaiting the WORD.

I forget what it was, but I seem to remember one time we were all kind of hopeful prior, then outraged at the actual message. :(

In all sincerity, I don't know what I'd do if I were in his place -- what seems so simple to us out here is far different from the reality of DC.

:hi:

[gateley]

23. Joe just arrived! As soon as we see Bob, we'll be ready to roll! nt

[gateley]

24. WHERE is this taking place? nt

[polichick]

25. Good that he's laying out the history of the deficit.

[Kdillard]

26. So far so good.

[Recursion]

27. Good background so far (nt)

[flamingdem]

28. Currently Obama is mowing down the Ryan plan, so far so good nt

[Kdillard]

29. So glad Obama is going after the Republican budget. Step by step

destruction of it.

[Recursion]

30. They want to give me a tax cut paid for by asking 33 seniors...

...to pay $6400 more in their health care. That's not fair, and it won't happen as long as I am President.

Boom.

[fugop]

32. "I don't need another tax cut"

Who else wishes he'd said "Donald Trump doesn't need another tax cut"? Anyone else? Just me?

[Kdillard]

33. That would have been priceless.
