This is, by far, my favorite quote of the week. When asked by an insistent reporter during his second primetime press conference why he waited a couple days before speaking out on the AIG bonuses, this is what Obama said:

“It took a couple days because I like to know what I am talking about before I speak.”

    I was lmao when he said that. That douche reporter was being annoyingly persistent in trying to call Obama out for not reacting so quickly. It was almost as if he was after a quote for a story he already wrote! I doubt he will get called on again! Such an amateur.

      totally. amazing how the press corps has been so completely softened up by 8 years of teh stoopid during the bush years. i read somewhere that chris matthews asking whether the press corps would ask obama the hard questions like they did during the last administration. yeah, lots of questions about torture, wmds, cia black sites out of the press corps out of the last 8 years…

    I heard him say that and I thought it was great! It's such a nice contrast having a president that actually wants to THINK about things. ;-)
