The event has concluded.
In the history of mankind, many republics have risen, have flourished for a less or greater time, and then have fallen because their citizens lost the power of governing themselves and thereby of governing their state. TR

Cleaned out the Old Strawman Store again, I hear. Congress is a-stuffin’, some folks say… the usual. Not a final “g” to be found.
Whap! “The first thing when I wake up in the morning..” Ack. Too soon to drink.
He didn’t! I just tuned in. After I made the video on the varying first times he wakes up, he said it again referring to the American dream, I’m saving them for future use. I assume this one was about jobs.
Gates wasn’t informed about the additional new $400 billion defense cuts that were mentioned in his GWU speech.Gates said it would severely cut into our defense. That’s how much BO loves the military.
Star, it is never too early to drink during the Obama Regime…
Dropping ‘g’ s, shirt sleeves rolled up, if someone ‘faints’ we have the Trifecta.
Did the use a ‘diversity’ seating chart for the students?
I like how he said calling on boy, girl, boy girl was “fair.” How about old young, rich poor, black white, Rep Dem–all the divisions you have encouraged.
“I’m going to now go enviro-polluter. Let’s start with a polluter.”
The best way to get on TV is to call somebody a name? Yeah–that’s how you do it!
Have you ever heard him say during his little asides anything witty or half way intelligent? If you have let me know because I have watched him endlessly and his much vaunted brain power eludes me?
He sounds like a rambling dope to me, but what do I know…
Ben Stein (“Bueller”…”Bueller”), who comes off as drolly snobby and drawly, said last nite on Cavuto that he didn’t think Obama was intelligent at all–that Obama came up with things everyone has known for yrs and even millennia and seemed to think these things were new. Exactly!
Okay. This answer to the question about “alternative energy” and the price of fuel is rambling and getting nowhere near the answer. He is utterly clueless about this. He’s pontificating on the subject and he couldn’t get a drop of gasoline or a watt of energy to market if his life depended on it.
This is hilarious! As he’s sitting there talking about how great electric cars are, Drudge has this link: http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2011/04/18/nissan-to-fix-5300-leaf-electric-cars/

They’ll really save on emissions if you can’t start them.
The people in the audience don’t look like his usual, fawning disciples. There are a lot of crossed arms and scowls out there.
Ooo–really–man, I miss my eyesight. Thanks, William.
I came in at the end but our “team” should do more of these live blogs.It was fun and better than most of the ones I read on the big blogs.
You’re right Janice. I will do it consistently and notify people in advance so we all get in on it.
We do love it so.
He’s obviously campaigning – duh. So how does this work – he gets to have “town halls” stacked with fawning Obamots, and we pay the tab?
Isn’t he supposed to keep campaigning separate from his POTUS duties?
Not that the cowed GOP will say a word about this – they’re begging to be abused again. Fund the czars regardless of the deal made, keep $$$ for the killing machine a/k/a Planned Parenthood, and increase funding for Pravda a/k/a NPR/PBS. That’s what “bi-partisanship” means to our clueless, slumbering Republican representatives.
I’m not sure these people all were rObots. He got a couple of fairly tough questions and even if they are currently supporters, most looked very unhappy.
Wait a hot one–he has POTUS duties?
I misspoke … he has peeps for those duties – the iReggie; Valerie, secretary to Soros; spook John Brennan, who’s been invisible lately because he’s been in Egypt & its environs orchestrating the “spontaneous” uprisings; and Goebbels – oops, I meant Cass Sunstein.
So all he has to do is appear … kind of like Chauncey Gardiner.
You must turn the soil
Where’s the outrage from Dems’ on the signing statement. If Bush Did This . . .
If we can go back to the Clinton-era tax rates, maybe we should go back to the Clinton-era spending levels, too.
Good point!
Thought he was off that bullet train kick. You are right William, there was a noticeable lack of enthusiasm in this crowd.
Wait’ll they hear we are bringing back the steamboat.
