This was old a long time ago, now it's just downright annoying- not to mention ineffective. On August 30, President Barack Obama talked about his administrations 'focus' on the economy after meeting with his economic team. Of course, there's no shortage of blaming Bush within the speech-- or technical difficulties. Apparently after the difficulties, the people gathered could not hear what he was saying, but Obama insisted the press could and continued anyways.
