Liveblogging Tonight!

Yea!

Aaaaannndd….
What are the drinking words?

I know that I need to get blasted so I’ll say the word ought to be confident.

For those who do not wish to get smashed I would suggest cooperation

KT: Good luck and thanks for all the threads today. For the drinking word may I suggest swine. Referring to republicans, not the flu.

“Economy” for me.

How about “bi-partisan”?
.
Won’t that be good for even a minor buzz?

Can we take a snort every time the camera pans to show the Repubs sitting on their hands during an applause line?

Not to get all metaphysical on everybody…but can the cameras pan the GOP side and show the Grim Reaper moving from GOPer to GOPer? The word can be next.

afguy and sacred: it’s a news conference, so there won’t be a GOP side. (okay, commenters, i’ve left myself wide open for a tidal wave of snark. go to it.)

Karen,
.
As much as you’ve left yourself open, I’ll abstain.
.
You interact with us too much – take this as a token of our appreciation.
.
Next time, though . . .

However, since this is a new conference . . .
.
How about a drink every time a reporter from the MSM asks him to respond to what is almost word-for-word a GOP talking point?

Hey, guys, the new sortware lets me post comments into the blog. I’ve already done it with Joe’s, as a test. So maybe we can make this even more fun. Or I will get all confused and completely screw it up. Boy, no drinking for me tonight…

Aw, c’mon, Karen. Live a little. Push the envelope!
.
What could be more brave and adventuresome than trying out new software while at least “two sheets to the wind”?

By gum, KT, there’s half of my comment right there in the blog! If I weren’t hiding behind an alias, I’d feel like half a celebrity!
That must be some great newfangled “sortware” you got there.
Aaaaannndd….
I dibs “100 days”. Being a literal lightweight, I don’t expect to last long anyway.

I suggest economy, middle class, responsibility as 3 good words to get one lit up.
.
I also predict that Chuck Todd and Jake Tapper will ask dumb questions. Call it a “hunch”.

.
All you need is to splice in footage of a big-boobied white man droning “tax cuts” over and over, anyway.

trifecta55,
.
I also have a “hunch” that the sun will rise in the east and set in the west.

OK, I see the whole comment there now. Now, like the comment, I feel complete.

I will do the GOP response for you all.
.
We need to work on a freedom agenda, with more responsibility, tax relief, limited government and balanced budgets. If only we ever get a shot at power, we will do those things. Honest.

I think the drinking phrase should be “some may say”

KT: I’ll send you something nice for Christmas if you wear a GOP hat and drink from a bottle in a paper bag.

KT:
.
Boy, no drinking for me tonight…
.
Don’t worry, Ana Marie Cox will most certainly be making up for what you’re missing in the way of necessary alcoholic refreshments.

KT – Here’s a question for the Prez:

“Do you think the next 100 days will be more challenging or less challenging?”

Just to see how fast and smoothly he dances . . .

C’mon . . . it’d be fun!

vast et al: Alas, I will be here in my office at the keyboard. MS will be the one at the news conference.

KT: Bummer. Since you’re going to be in your office…why not have a drink? Let me suggest something my wife and I do. Get a basket of foam rubber bricks and wing them at the screen whenever somebody says something you don’t like. Great stress reliever and it’s fun.

Oooh, I should do that. I keep losing my pens when I throw them.

Wow Scherer actually got a question. And it was a good one at that!

Credit where credit is due. Scherer’s question was solid.

Obama’s answer to Scherer’s question was certainly solid. I couldn’t tell whether Scherer thought he was serving up a softball or a gotcha. If the latter, Scherer is this presser’s Ed Henry.
