1. Gitmo review delayed 6 months (Obama puts vow in doubt)
Obama on Monday extended by six months a task force charged with determining how terrorism suspects should be interrogated, held in custody or handed over to other countries, putting in jeopardy his promise to close the military detention facility at the U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by January.
Late Monday, with only a select group of reporters invited, the White House deployed senior administration officials to sell the new delay. “We are over halfway through reviewing the detainees that are at Guantanamo,” an official said.
2. Obama Delaying Release of Key Economic Report
Obama pushed back the release of a congressionally mandated report on the nation’s economic conditions. Obama is delaying release of a congressionally mandated report on the nation’s economic conditions, spawning speculation that it is trying to tamp down bad economic news to avoid further complicating the already fraught legislative debate over health care reform.
3. Obama and White House began to extend a self-imposed deadline for overhauling the nation’s health care system.
“Although there are some positive provisions in the current House Tri-Committee bill – including insurance for all and payment reform demonstration projects – the proposed legislation misses the opportunity to help create higher-quality, more affordable health care for patients. In fact, it will do the opposite.
In general, the proposals under discussion are not patient focused or results oriented. Lawmakers have failed to use a fundamental lever – a change in Medicare payment policy – to help drive necessary improvements in American health care. Unless legislators create payment systems that pay for good patient results at reasonable costs, the promise of transformation in American health care will wither. The real losers will be the citizens of the United States.”
GREAT Statement above from Mayo Clinic, condemning Obama DEATHcare. I have always heard good things about Mayo Clinic. The only people Democrats don’t want to kill are criminals, the Taliban and Al Queda…everyone from babies, the infirm and the elderly are all on the slaughter list. ~ Wild Thing
4. Obama Once Again Demanding Prime Time TV coverage of himself.
Most will carry Obama conference; time shifted after NBC balked! After some hesitation and a time shift, three major broadcast networks have agreed to carry Barack Obama’s latest primetime news conference.
The event was announced Friday afternoon as Obama battles to bolster congressional support for an ambitious health-care overhaul while facing dropping approval ratings.
But broadcasters are struggling with falling approval ratings of their own; Nielsen’s audience measurements show viewership in a summertime slump.
The conference will mark the president’s fourth primetime press event since he took office six months ago. Such interruptions tend to wreak havoc with network schedules and can cost millions in lost advertising.
CBS, which airs only repeats that evening, agreed early Monday to cover the conference.
But for NBC, Fox and ABC, the decision was tougher. During a summer that’s otherwise strewn with repeats, Wednesday includes all their top-rated reality programs.
Fox declined outright to air the news conference. This is the second time Fox has ruled against covering an Obama press conference.
NBC and ABC fell into line late Monday after the White House shifted the event’s time from the previously announced 9 p.m. to the lesser-watched hour of 8 p.m.
It’s only been 6 months are I cringe every freaking time this moron is on our TV.But in thinking about how often he is on, which really has been every single day, the Obama fatigue is starting to happen from the left. They are making comments a lot now about Obama being on TV too much. LOL If we really go back, it was a 2 year campaign with Obama being shown yakking someplace he was speaking every single day, the debates, the press conferences, all the media coverage everyday for 2 years. Now as their president he has also been on the same way, press conferences, speeches, townhalls, announcements, and Prime Time TV spots messing with the time off of hard workers across our counrtry that just want to forget about Obama for the evening. Hahhaha yes the world is sick of you Obama and it has only been 6 LONG months. And how delicious is it when he also is showing he does not care about the networks that elected him and their losing millions in advertising just to show his ulgy mug and his er ah er ah speech. He could care less about even the media’s economy. ~ Wild Thing

cuchieddie, sending it to you right now.
obama is absolutely in love, with himself. The more he demands air time the more people will tire of him. I hope I am right, but he is shaping up to be a one term president. That is if the stupid party can give us a real conservative contender and not a Rino.
Tom, I feel like that too. People are
getting tired of him, of his ego, so many
things about him. Your right too about the
stupid party.
