Having It Both Ways

Yup.

President Barack Obama’s plea for patience in the economic turmoil Tuesday fits with the view of most economists that a turnaround will take some time. It doesn’t fit quite so neatly with his bullish budget. The president’s spending plans and deficit projections rest on the assumption that the economy will post solid growth next year after a mild, further decline this year. Many economists think that’s too rosy.

Obama was more cautious than that in his prime-time news conference — possibly to the point of having it both ways.

  1. There is a rumor running around the internet that he ditched the teleprompter tonight and instead had this massive LCD screen at the back of the room he read from.  All done to give the illusion to us at home that he didn’t use TOTUS tonight. 

    Is this true?
