Casino67 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Washington Examiner:President Obama required two heavy-duty teleprompters on Monday during a three-minute speech in which he nominated Alan Krueger to serve as chairman of his Council of Economic Advisers."I am very pleased to appoint Alan and I look forward to working with him," Obama said, staring at the large, flat-screen monitor to his right, then shifting his eyes to the teleprompter on his right. "I have nothing but confidence in Alan as he takes on this important role as one of the leaders of my economic team."Krueger stood silently to the right of Obama as the president spoke. Krueger will replace Austan Goolsbee, who recently stepped down as chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. A professor at Princeton University, Krueger served two years in the U.S. Treasury Department under Obama. He also served as chief economic adviser for the Labor Department during the Clinton administration. Obama did not give Krueger a chance to make any comments on Monday.//End// ________________________Is he terrified that he may say something that will hurt his campaign for re-election? When is the last time he spoke to the press and allowed them to ask questions? The guy is beyond robotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Obama did not give Krueger a chance to make any comments on Monday. What could the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, possibly have to say to the press, that could have any interest to we the great unwashed?
