Steve Kroft gave him a tough interview and I think President Obama handled the questions well


Sorry I don't know why the video picture thingy isn't appearing in the post.

1. I did also, and I going to start wearing my Obama neckless tomorrow.....

GOBAMA, GOBAMA, GOBAMA. Haven't felt like wearing it for quite sometime....gonna start tomorrow with my lunch group.

2. Just ordered a brand new 2012 magnet and can't wait to flaunt it! Luckily I live in a VERY Blue

area and just about EVERYONE has a bumper sticker or magnet!! GOBAMA INDEED!!!!!

3. kroft was horrible - kept interrupting the POTUS

The questions were pretty inane and directed - definatly not good journalism. Nothing wrong with asking hard questions - Obama can certainly handle them - but kroft brought the knife to the gunfight. And a dull knife at that.

There was one point when kroft was dong an inanly long set up to his question (poll numbers! poll numbers!!!) and the look on Obamas face was priceless.


ok, on another topic completely - where is the spell check? am I missing it somewhere? yikes!

[mucifer]

4. Spell check will be added later. It's one of the features DU3 will get soon but doesn't yet have.

[Merlot]

6. Thanks for the update.

other than that, I'm loving DU3!

14. Use the Mozilla Browser

It has a built in spell-checker. I resisted for a long time, then finally made a concerted effort. I love the synch feature--now I've got 5 computers, all synched up with my favorite, favorites, rather than them being different on various machines.

Now I wear it like a "necklace." Yea, I noticed that.

5. His interview with Steve Croft

Can't be any worst than Romney's or Bachmann's or Newt's or Cain's or Paul's or whoever else the GOP is throwing into the ring. Really, whether you think Obama has lived up to his promises or not, there is really no option. It's Obama or dreck.

[KT2000]

7. Kroft kept coming up with

"they say" without identifying who they may be.
He interviewed as a republican. He did not bring any knowldge to the table such as, McConnell saying that getting Obama out of office is goal #1. That was the unspoken predicate upon which all his questions arose - his "they say" suppositions were delivered at face value.
Terrible interview.

11. NO, MR PRESIDENT, WHAT THE PEOPLE IN WALL STREET DID WAS ILLEGAL

ITS CALLED FRAUD --- AND YOU ARE IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT THAT IS SUPPOSED ENFORCE (IE PROSECUTE AGAINST CRIMES) THE LAW.

You may be better than the reptiles mascarading as republican candidates, but please don't lie. You too are owned by Wall Street. However, no one can take away from you that you are smooth --- but sadly little more.

[JoePhilly]

16. Can you list the specific laws that were broken.

Sure ... you can type in ALL CAPS ... but that's a weak way to make your point.

And so again ... which specific laws were broken.

Or ... is it possible ... that the GOP under Bush, deregulated things such that what the major financial companies did was legal?????

Naaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

[exxo1111]

22. Yes the law that broken was fraud

I did say it in my e-mail. It's call fraud and it is illegal. those bansters knowing sold derivatives with no value by packing them as valuable in collusion with othr banks and ratings agencies. (not to mention the collusion of the banks who knowingly created mortgages they knew were bad - a necessay part of these scheme.) That alone brings into the picture, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, and RICO, (pattern of criminal activity).

Sorry, I like Obama, b/c he is better than the alternative - but the Justice department should be prosecuting and there should be perp walks.

23. You did not name a single statute.

Which is what the LAW requires.

Wikipedia does a better job of describing this that you ...

Common law fraud has nine elements:[3][4]

1. a representation of an existing fact;
2. its materiality;
3. its falsity;
4. the speaker's knowledge of its falsity;
5. the speaker's intent that it shall be acted upon by the plaintiff;
6. plaintiff's ignorance of its falsity;
7. plaintiff's reliance on the truth of the representation;
8. plaintiff's right to rely upon it; and
9. consequent damages suffered by plaintiff.

Most jurisdictions in the United States require that each element be pled with particularity and be proved with clear, cogent, and convincing evidence (very probable evidence) to establish a claim of fraud. The measure of damages in fraud cases is to be computed by the "benefit of bargain" rule, which is the difference between the value of the property had it been as represented, and its actual value. Special damages may be allowed if shown proximately caused by defendant's fraud and the damage amounts are proved with specificity.


My point is, you screaming FRAUD does not a legal case make.

And again, Bush and the GOP weakened the over-site to a point where it is nearly impossible to prove anything other than #9.

[exxo1111]

25. Yes it is a crime

Look the TYT on the post above in this thread makes the same point. If you don't beleive me, see their reporting.

By the way, all states and the federal government have antifraud statues. And yeh - this case meets those elememts. But also, conspisracy to commit fraud is coded in criminal statues, as well as RICO (ongoing pattern of criminal activity).

If you don't believe me, see the TYT video in this thread above - makes the same point.

Look, don't be agressive - we are on the same side.

I like Obama and will vote for him -- as the lesser evil.

But he is part of the problem. Until Wall Street and corporations own our politicians, we will not be a democracy again.

12. Embed it with the simplified YT URL

[mucifer]

15. how did "embed it with the simplified YT URL? Im a little dense. Sorry. I wanted to do that. I can't

figure it out.

[alp227]

17. basically...

just the URL is needed to embed, isn't that cool? format: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=(video code here)

[freshwest]

13. Thanks very much for posting the youtube versions. I was able to make them show for the BOG group.

PM me if you keep having a problem with this.

[elleng]

18. Excellent.

Thanks

[mzmolly]

19. I think the President did very well.

20. HOW to post YouTube videos

TWO TIPS

Lots of time over at YouTube the URL in the URL box has lots of extra stuff in the URL and messes things up if you use that one.

1) It is best to click on the SHARE button located right under the video and copy that shortened URL from there.

2) When you are on a page which has 'only one' video - If you use/copy the URL from the URL box then only copy the first part up to the '&' symbol (if there is a '&' symbol in the URL. If you end up leaving the '&' symbol and the extra stuff to the right of the '&' symbol in the URL when you post the URL here on DU the extra text will be seen to the right lower edge of the video - which makes look like a bug but it's not)

----

The explanation to why the FIRST link in the OP http://www.youtube.com/user/CBSNewsOnline?feature=watch#p/u/4/V_pHY7YbLV4
did not work is because that is NOT the link to the individual video - that is the link to the 'user's page' that has the video.
You can go to that link and click on the SHARE button located directly under the video and THAT is the URL that can be used here at DU to embed the video.

The reason the SECOND link in the OP didn't work is because that link is a 'search result' link.
You would need to go 'to the video' and copy the link for that particular video.

I hope some of that helps to explain what was wrong and how to be able to do it easier in the future

[mucifer]

21. Thanks thats helpful!
