Obama will be holding a prime-time news conference tonight, July 22.

It will be aired on all major networks at 8pm eastern standard / 5PM pacific standard.

This is the 4th such prime-time news conference held by Obama so far.

In contrast, Bush held a total of only 4 prime-time news conferences during his entire 8 years as president.

But Bush wasn't trying to sell the kingpin of his entire program like Obama is trying to do tonight. I agree with De Mint that if he loses this one he is a lame duck for 3 1/2 years. Obama knows that too.

Bush did not try to scam everyone into thinking his ideas were always right.

If you had not noticed Obama is only doing this to get all his robots in line so they can push their congress members to pass his scam bills for Obama welfare care and cap and scam.

There is a reason Obama is having this news conference and it is not for any of us, it is for him.

I will make sure my TV is off during this wasted time of the day.

Bush is no longer President so why even bring it up and did not have to go on TV to make excuses for mistakes like Obama has had to do.

Beg Obama beg. Get on their and beg.

Please little Obama robots please help me get this urgent healthcare passed.

If it was so dam urgent and needed rushed up then why didnt he do something as a Senator for all those years?

Not sure if I agree with that. If unemployment drops to 6% he will not be a lame duck because healthcare did not pass.

Wonder if we'll have any specifics about which taxes he will raise since the CBO has said the House plan to tax the rich wouldn't pay the tab?

Obama is scared and will lying his arse off to get support.

Watch him try and use this as a way to scare people into calling their reps.

He knows he is toast if this fails and will be on his knees pleading the America people to help him pass his scam bill.

Demint is awesome, he is standing up to Obama toe to toe on this.

There will be no facts.

CBO is all wrong according to Obama.

Only Obama and his team of experts have the real information.

Ssshhhhh Do not tell anyone he will again have to raise taxes and if you have healthcare right now it will cost you tons more.

Watch is words.

It will be a fear fest and he will tell us how important it is to pass this bill.

I wonder if anyone has the guts to ask if him if it was so important then why did he wait all those years as a Senator to notice it?
