PRESIDENT OBAMA’S PRESS-CONFERENCE 2014/08/01
In the middle of a tough press conference covering a wide range of difficult topics — the situation in Ukraine, the Israeli-Hamas conflict, the CIA’s admission that it had spied on the Senate, ISIS, Ebola, etc. — Barack Obama lost his legendary cool and asked the White House pool why they weren’t grilling him about the recent news about the rebounding economy, which he began the presser with.

“I think it’s useful for me to end by just reminding folks that in my first term, if I had a press conference like this, typically, everybody would want to ask about the economy, and how come jobs weren’t being created, and how come the housing market is still bad, and why isn’t it working?” he said.

“You know what? What we did worked, and the economy is better. And when I say that we have just had six months of more than 200,000 jobs that hasn’t happened in 17 years, that shows you the power of persistence.”

“I thought that you guys were going to ask me how I was going to spend my birthday, ” he said in exasperation as the conference broke into non-birthday questions. “What happened to the birthday thing?”

Minutes later, he admitted that the CIA “tortured some folks” during the Bush Administration.
