From the Obama press conference as live-blogged by the NYT:
[CNN’s] Ed Henry follows up. Why did you wait days to express outrage [about AIG bonuses]? All the action is coming out of New York Attorney General?s office.
Ah, finally, a reply. Mr. Obama: ?It took us a couple of days because I like to know what I?m talking about before I speak.?
Gosh, what a concept. Study, learn and ponder before shooting off your mouth. Hey, all of you at Fox News! Hey, Chris Matthews at MSNBC! Hey, Lou Dobbs at CNN! Didja hear that?
Video here.
I loved it, absolutely loved it, the best answer ever!! and yeah, can you imagine, someone who actually thinks before speaking. Perfect!!
He shoots! He scores!!!
Go Prez go!!
I cheered when I heard that answer.
Yep. Did my heart good.
