Obama says he does not regret his proposed middle class tax cuts. He also says charities are wrong to assume that tax hikes on the wealthy will reduce charitable giving.
Q10: Tent cities! What is Obama going to do about it? He says he's going to create jobs. That was a total throw away question, except Obama got to use the phrase "a whole host" again..
Q11: Asked about race and how his race is perceived. Obama says there's no time for race, he's worried about the economy. He said that the racial pride over his presidency lasted "about a day" on the day of his inauguration. What's up with these softballs?
Q12: Stem cell research, does Obama have ethical issues over embryonic stem cell research? He says he's wrestled with it, but that federal funding guidelines for research meet ethical standards.
LAST QUESTION: So easy, it's just about Israel and Palestine... Obama says it's a difficult situation and the staus quo is unsustainable... However, he got the two opposing sides of Northern Ireland to celebrate at the White House together on St. Patrick's Day, so anything is possible.
Obama is closing up now. He promises that he is going to be persistent during his time in office and continue to try making progress on his priorities. "We're moving in the right direction."
NBC just panned out to Rahm Emanuel smirking.
Hey, like Obama says, it's only been 60 days!!! Give him a chance to make some progress...
And he steps off the stage.
