What does everyone think about President Obama always being late for press conferences?

[Melissa0116]

I do understand that he is busy but doesn't this show disrespect.  I feel that if you are President of the United States then you should be responsible enough to be on time for all events, since you are running the Country and all.

I am late for everything but I am also not planning on running or being President.  I do know that this is something that I need to improve on and shows others that I am irresponsible when it comes to time management.  

President Obama knew that this would be a tough job to take on but he should at least be respectful and make sure that he is ready for anything that comes up.  Also, is he going to handle terrorism by not making it a timely issue.  What will happen if someone decided to attack the U.S. again?  Will he say that he is sorry for not handling this problem in a timely manner?  I don't know but I just do not feel comfortable with the way he runs this country.  I guess that is why I did not vote for him.   And, I know that all of you that voted for him think he does no wrong, but at least acknowledge the fact that him being late is not such a good thing.

I stand corrected, it's the ones who imply their level of education makes them superior to the less fortunate because of their inability to be articulate. Sorry, I'm just one of the less fortunate.

I've done work on a regular basis for 30 or more professors at a major university in past years. Not one of them did that to insult anyone.

I'm starting to see why this country is so NOT united!  Very sad indeed!

You could' not have said it anybetter mike! I totally agree with you. And for those who are supposed to be neither Democrat or Republican ( you know who you are ) you are seeming to be very defensive these days about Bush and the bashing of Democrats only makes you sound like a republican, So if I was niether I would not only bash obama but I would bash bush ( OH BUT YOUR NOT NEITHER SO I GUESS IT DOESNT MATTER HUHH!! ) Such hypocrites!!

Any politician who is playing games with people in general makes me nervous. Its just hard to get elected without doing that. Frankly I would like to see an end to Political Action Committees and advertisements and go back to the time when politicians weren't elected by how much they got in politicial contributions. In any recent presidential election there have been polls comparing how much each candidate recieved. That should not be a measure of intregrity or support. Quite the opposite. Education is a complex thing. It depends whether someone uses their knowledge against people or for them. Any issue that is going to deprive the average American of basic freedoms is not in any manner a good thing. Its just hard to figure out how to balance out the economy in a way that doesn't burden taxpayers. But the bailout of the banking industry which started under Bush and continued with Obama seems more to benefit the top level executives in the banking industry than anyone else. I doubt any of them will have to worry about a pay cut, let alone losing their job and yet a lot of their financial malingering is what caused the reccession to begin with.
