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.

Well I certainly can see Obama has made some errors myself. As I said that issue about health care coverage for the veterans makes me have less respect for him. One thing though that disappoints me is that Obama from the beginning seemed to take a stance that he would unite people around basic common causes that were good for all Americans, some form of affordable healthcare, providing jobs for people who were out of work because of the reccession, trying to end racial divides. And in including some of the former Bush administration in his cabinet to not have a continuous conflict between the two parties. If the name of the president alone and a discussion about him brings out this much diviseness than perhaps he has failed at this. And this diviseness during a time when the United States is trying to finalize a war to stop the casualties in America and keep America safe as well as end a major reccesion would be a set back for all of America. I myself although I have my own positions on certain issues would not want to be a part of this but its been a long time since there's been a presidential candidate who fullfilled their campaign promises from Clinton's promise of universal health care to Bush' "Read my lips. No new taxes". Regardless of stance integrity is something expected in any politician but its rare to find.

Then in all of your mighty why not construct a thread that is meant to worship Obama since that is what you are looking for.
Or construct a thread that will speak on something that you deem has merit instead of  just bashing other people?

I wish we would all go back to the day after 9/11 and remember how we pulled together as a nation and stopped fighting over whether you were a liberal or conservative - we should never forget we are AMERICANS first!  The parties have gotten out of control with their own agendas!  

(Just want to state I never want that to happen to us again, but I do wish we'd get back to respecting each other and helping each other no matter what we believe!  

[HelpinUtah]

I personally don't care if he's late for press conferences.  Personally, I think he's doing too many right now!  But, that's my opinion.  I also agree our war veterans deserve their medical care paid for 100%!

I honestly think that there is too much disrespect going on on both sides of the aisle.  Personally, it's time WE THE PEOPLE spoke up for what we believe and argue these points with our congressmen/women and our senators!  They are the ones that need to hear what we think!  Fighting among each other is exactly what they want - then we are distracted on what they are doing on the side!  And, this goes to both parties who think they are above the law and should not be held to a higher standard!

Obama being late?
I see we have another inane thread made up primarily of thoughtless, baseless and rather inarticulate posts. You guys really are too much but I will say one thing - you're getting funnier and funnier with each passing day.
Such silly outrage.
Are you guys skipping school perhaps - grade school?
I am surprised that we haven't yet had one of these in depth discussions about Obama not insisting that everyone who enters the Oval Office wear a coat and tie. Bush did and he always looked quite dapper in my opinion.

Much depends on a person's position in society, some can't get one at all, or they will never be done paying for it.
