No!

[ChangeUp106]

1. Daring them to do it again?

Surely this will ignite the crazies

[Hekate]

29. It is not a dare. It is a statement of fact.

[Lifelong Dem]

41. Yeah, everyone stop breathing so we don't ignite the crazies

They were crazy to attempt this act, they would be even crazier to try it again. What you saw was confidence they would never want to go that route again.

[malaise]

2. Hell No!

Not a focus on politics, not a focus on elections.

Get thee to the greatest page

[ProSense]

3. The look on the President's face

[malaise]

5. Delish

[Brigid]

18. Betcha Sasha and Malia know that look!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

38. BaaHAA!!

Oh yeah. You can only go so far and once it's too far--D.O.N.E.

[JustAnotherGen]

51. Lol

I agree! That's the look they get when an hour earlier they heard, "Wait until your father gets up here from his office!".

[Walk away]

4. How can you not love this guy?

He is so cool!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

37. so true. :) n/t

[Tx4obama]

6. Bravo Mr. President :)

[Chief D]

7. That look on PBO's face is priceless!!!!!

It was the Willy Wonka and Tony Montana moment wrapped up into one screen shot.

[alcibiades_mystery]

45. I believe you mean Michael Corleone

That's not Tony Montana in the "My offer is this: nothing." clip. It's from Godfather II.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. I saw that live but missed the question & answer

All I saw was Carney cracking up.

Thanks for posting!!

[flamingdem]

12. It cut right before that

[lupinella]

9. K&R n/t

[sheshe2]

10. That clip was perfection!

Hear that GOP....NO!

The President rocks! The line delivered with a delicious smirk. Don't mess with me!

Oh, you made my night, ProSense~

[flamingdem]

11. Yes!

So glad someone caught that, great expression

[Chichiri]

16. I clicked on the video on your link and it said "This video is private"

[ProSense]

17. It was there earlier. Here's a transcript

[Hekate]

[freshwest]

No more hostages!

[Buddaman]

15. NO!

Simple....yet, effective.

[brer cat]

20. Wonderful!!!

Thanks for posting, ProSense.

[libdem4life]

21. He has the natural timing of a comedian. Good thing, he's needed it.

[IrishAyes]

23. No - the most powerful single word in the English language.

[ReRe]

24. I seen him do that...

... Priceless!

[munster69]

25. With the amount of damage done by T-baggers during this mess

I have no doubt that word NO is written in stone.

[Snake Plissken]

26. Never underestimate the baggers , there's some world class stupidity in the GOP right now

[ProSense]

28. Stupid never dies.

It just runs away until another day.

[NBachers]

31. What . A . Dude

[Spitfire of ATJ]

32. There have been some behind the scenes talks going on here.

[WinstonSmith4740]

33. That's a thing of beauty.

I was watching on MSNBC and they didn't catch his reply...only the question. Thanks so much for posting this.

[robinlynne]

34. beautiful!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

35. you know what? he really is something!

I sure wish I could have a fraction of his patience, perseverance and COURAGE. Not to mention intelligence, aplomb and witty humor.

Really. I mean seriously.

[Chiquitita]

43. You are right.

He is an amazing person. There is a lot of virtue there and self-control.

[FailureToCommunicate]

36. I had heard the question called out, and thought it a bit unseemly at the time. Now I love

what it gave President Obama a chance to express: parental firmness to unruly children.

Thanks for posting the whole ending from CSPAN

[joshcryer]

39. Haha, Carney even had a shit eating grin with that one.

Fuck yeah. I bet next time there's a press briefing Carney will answer that question with "no." Saves him from having to waffle out an answer.

[ProSense]

44. LOL! n/t

[cilla4progress]

40. Most relaxed I've seen him in a long time.

He looks 30 years younger. Carney's reaction is golden.

I hope our Pres and his family, esp. Michelle, can put their feet up, have a glass of something, and reflect on how sweet it is. They've earned it!

[pitbullgirl1965]

42. Go 'Bama!! :D

[Hamlette]

46. I'm in love all over again.

[Rebellious Republican]

47. I specially loved the Cheshire cat grin on his face, he knows something we don't!

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

48. I do appreciate......

...the succinctness.

[BillyRibs]

49. Just trying to

Keep from Busting a gut laughing!

[davidpdx]

50. That was great how he turned around smiled and said no

He knows the Republicans have overplayed their hand and are going to have to come to the table and play nice. They had one shot to pull it off and they lost. The Ted Cruz wing of the party can scream all they want, but they had their chance.
