White House Press Briefings are conducted most weekdays from the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room in the West Wing. Good afternoon. Let’s start with one very quick scheduling update. On Monday, September 6, 2010 — Labor Day — President Obama will travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he will attend the Milwaukee Laborfest, organized by the Milwaukee Area Labor Council, and make remarks there on the economy. So, more details on the exact time of departure a little bit later on. Yes, ma’am. Q Obviously two big elements of foreign policy in play this week. Does the President think that ending the combat mission in Iraq in any way affects the prospect of Middle East peace? MR. GIBBS: Look, I would say, first and foremost, that throughout the President’s time in the White House — and as you know and remember, that one of the very first things the President did upon walking into the Oval Office was to initiate calls around — into the region about a lasting, long-term Middle East peace process. So we have always believed that it was in the interest of those in the region to seek that long-term, lasting peace, separate and apart from any other regional issue. And I think the White House still continues to believe that’s very much the case. I will say — and you’ll hear this a little bit from the President tomorrow — as we are ending our combat role in Iraq there are additional national security priorities and additional domestic priorities that we can and will be focusing …

PLEASE HELP US SHARE THIS VIDEO. On Thursday, April 15, Tea Partiers from around the country gathered in the nation’s capital to protest what they percieved to be egregious increases in taxation under the Obama administration, despite taxes having actually been lowered for 98% of working Americans. The usual anti-science and nativist rhetoric, and praise of Fox News personalities, ensued. This NEW LEFT MEDIA film was produced and edited by Chase Whiteside (interviewer) and Erick Stoll (camera operator) with additional camera work from Kasey Hosp. We apologize for the poor sound quality and shortage of sunlight, the event was held late and music –this was something of a Tea Party Woodstock–was playing throughout. President Obama Cut Taxes for 98 Percent of Working Americans in 2009, from the non-partisan Citizens for Tax Justice: bit.ly

Experiment #97: Obama The election was over and Obama was declared the first black president ever! Well, our microwave An didn’t get to vote for Nader like she wanted so she wanted to tell Mr. President what she though of him. Things were said and the both got into a fight…then they both killed each other. Lucky for us, the NAACP has several clones of Obama so it was all well and good.

Barry Soetoro AKA Barack Obama’s Political Dynasty Crashes And Burns Paul Joseph Watson www.prisonplanet.com Monday, August 9, 2010 While Barry Soetoro’s family lavish themselves at a luxury Spanish resort amidst deepening economic turmoil, back home Obama’s political dynasty crashes and burns as his approval ratings plunge to a record low of 41 per cent with less than a few months to go before the October midterm elections. Obama has come under widespread criticism for preaching austerity and financial discipline even as his wife Michelle suns herself at an opulent resort in the Costa del Sol region while parading around in expensive designer clothing. As the economy worsens and top financial experts openly talk of American entering a second great depression, Obama’s approval ratings continue to head south in a hurry. As we exposed in the Obama Deception, the manufactured populist euphoria behind the crowning of Soetoro was always likely to rapidly deflate once it became apparent that Obama was the ultimate puppet, a vacuous servant of the bankers and the elite to whom he owes his entire political dynasty. Just 41 per cent approved of the way Obama was handling the job in a recent USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, the lowest figure since Soetoro took office in January 2009. Similarly, questions over Soetoro’s dubious origins have not abated. According to a recent CNN poll, 43 per cent of Americans think Obama was definitely or probably not born in the United States. For someone …

BREAKING NEWS VIDEO Video Courtesy US Department of Defense. President Obama Vacations in Marthas Vineyard and Cape Cod Air Force One Marine One Politics Business Press Gaggle by Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton aboard Air Force One en route Cape Cod, MA Aboard Air Force One, En Route Cape Cod, Massachusetts 1:28 PM EDT MR. BURTON: Thank you for joining us on our trip to Martha’s Vineyard. For starters, I just wanted to ask, and for folks who read the transcript of this, that the privacy of the First Family is respected. And, you know, the girls will obviously be out and about and the First Family will be doing things — you know, it’s just like last year. We appreciate the hospitality of the folks at Martha’s Vineyard. And the First Family had such a great time, they’re looking forward to a great time again. We just hope that the local and national reporters respect the privacy of the girls, especially. So with that, I’m happy to take some questions. Q The economy, the numbers this morning were very bad. I know the President has come out and made a statement, but how bad does the White House think this is? I mean, is the economy — did the economy really hit a wall in August, as it looks like? Do you think there’s a real risk of a double-dip recession? MR. BURTON: The President’s view is that there are going to be a lot of indicators that show some movement in different directions, but there’s no doubt that we have not done everything that we can to keep moving the …
