Obama Acknowledges Voter Anger Over 'Painfully Slow' Growth
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Sept. 10) -- President Barack Obama insisted Friday that the U.S. economy is digging itself out of the deepest recession in decades but conceded that "progress has been painfully slow" and many voters in November's elections may blame him. Facing a rising jobless rate, Obama told a White House news conference: "For all the progress we've made, we're not there yet. And that means people are frustrated and why people are angry." "Because I am president, and the Democrats have control of the House and Senate, it's understandable that people are saying, 'What have you done?'" The ...
Obama's First News Conference in Four Months Scheduled for Sept. 10
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyPresident Barack Obama's first news conference in four months is scheduled for Sept. 10. The White House said Thursday that the president would use the exchange with reporters to discuss economic issues. The event will come on the heels of Obama's trip next week to Wisconsin and Ohio to deliver speeches on the economy. It will be the president's first news conference since May 27, when he addressed the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. ...
FOX Outdraws Obama
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyThe ratings are in from President Barack Obama's prime-time news conference last week, and the numbers justify the Fox network's decision to skip broadcasting the president's address. The Fox drama "Lie to Me" drew eight million viewers, outpacing NBC's Obama coverage by over one million viewers. Overall, close to 29 million viewers watched the president on ten channels, including the cable news networks. The total viewership for the news conference was down almost 50% from Obama's first televised news conference, and down nearly 30% from his March event. Fox News did cover the president, and ...
Surprised, Troubled, Enchanted and Humbled
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyPresidential press conferences have a rote quality to them-our current president has a habit, for example, of taking questions from 13 reporters, as he did Wednesday night-but President Obama's First Hundred Days' prime time news conference in the East Room had just enough unscripted moments to make it interesting and instructive. ...
Obama at Presser: Calm, Cool, Collected
By David Knowles - Politics DailyAfter watching the president's 100-day news conference, my biggest impression is that he has finally settled into his office. He gave a very assured, calm and competent performance (that latter point will surely be disputed by conservatives), that made for, yes, rather boring television. Maybe FOX was right to skip this thing, after all. On the other hand, many people will feel reassured by what they saw tonight. Here is a president who is making the best of the hand he has been dealt. He's working hard, and he's starting to really feel comfortable at the podium. In other words, tomorrow's ...
President Obama Plans (Another) Prime-Time News Conference
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyThe White House says that President Barack Obama plans to address the nation and take questions from the media next Wednesday in the third prime-time news conference of his 100-day old presidency. The president earlier held news conferences in February and March. While the first two were called so that Obama could press for passage of his economic stimulus package and to update the country on the state of the economy, this news conference seems to have no political purpose other than to mark the president's 100th day in office. President Obama is personally very popular, and has been the ...
