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.

Yes and I agree with you. I am for some form of national health care with a graduated premium but that is one group that should be automatically included considering that they served our country. It is a departure from his origin take on the issue. That's why I wouldn't say I am one of the people who believes Obama can "do no wrong" even though I voted for him. This is a disappointment.

Excuse me..... I would still like to know why our wounded in action and severly injured Warriors have to pay for their own health care, I dont mind  contributing... as a daughter of a veteran, a grandaughter of a veteran ,a wife of a veteran , a sister of a veteran, especially as Mrs Obama has been doing the rounds speaking to the wives of our Military and has made the Military Families her "cause Celebe"

Honey you must dont have a clue do you? You must be mad because you have to come out of your pockets to pay more for taxes, your fault!! And second of all if he didnt dish out that money I'm pretty sure your state would start to sink and eventually you would too!! And whats wrong with the veterans paying for their own insurance they get it cheap as hell anyway so its not going to hurt them, I'm pretty sure they pay less than you do so lets get with the program sweety!! And kept us free from attack yeah they did that for us true enough but they went over their to find weapons of mass destruction or at least thats what we were told. The only thing they did was get our soildiers killed because cheney had a motive but I bet you dont even know what that is do you MS. REPUBLICAN. And thats not OBAMA'S fault that BARNEY FRANK and HIS BUDDY made the housing crisis, He's just trying to help. And far as causing fear as a catalysts to cause fear @ the banks HONEY they were screwed a longtime before the democrats won the house so get over it and deal with it we won and you didnt : )

First of all, putting money into the states, for What?  The states make the decision what to do with this money they are given and trust me this is not used the right way.  Second of all, if you think that he is helping to bring jobs, then you are soarly mistaken.  The economy is not doing better because of Obama.   You know what Obama and the democrats are doing?  They are using fear as a catalyst to lose jobs and cause panic in our banks so that they can save the economy from failure and come out as heros in the end.  They have done this so many times.  The economy is not good, but remember who caused the problem with the housing crisis, Barney Frank and his buddy who worked with Fannie Mae.  He should be held responsible for his actions, but of course we cannot do this since the democrats are head of the congress and Senate.  Why would they want to hold their own people accountable.  Also, there are several Republicans that need to go down along with some Democrats for the economy being the way it is.  

He is arrogant and pompous, that is why he feel that he can be late and do whatever he wants.  One day, people will realize that he is not equipped to run the country.  

[Melissa0116]

He is totally out of line stating that the veterans of the War will pay for their own Health care.  Does he forget that they kept America safe from attack for the past eight years?  No, the only thing that he thinks about is changing all the policies from the current administration and getting back at them for what he says they have done to us.  When is he going to realize that if we did not have the military or war we would have been overthrown a long time ago.  America would be dead..................................

I would also like to know what he would have done instead of War to protect this country after 9/11.  Remember he was a supporter of the War.

he is the president so he can do whatever he wants to do and being late to a conference is nothing you people should look at the important stuff he is doing like putting money into the states or trying to help you keep a job and thats the important thing.
