Get Ready To #AskObama Why The Country's Credit Card Is Maxed Out
The biggest farce of the day is about to unfold as Obama holds a "twitter hall" meeting in which he will accept questions, pre-cleared and moderated by Twitter itself, which means congratulations, about the economy and jobs. The town hall can be accessed by using the #AskJobs hash tag or at the website below. As usual, this will be merely another PR debacle in which everyone participating will see the questions which are not being answered, and ignore the softballs lobbed at the teleprompter in chief.
The live streaming is beginning:
The townhall site:
Some more details on the format:
While questions must be asked in the 140 character limit imposed by Twitter, the president will have free range in his answers. Shortened summaries of Obama’s responses will be posted to @townhall.
Twitter co-founder and Executive Chairman Jack Dorsey will read the questions and the president will offer his responses to an audience of 140 in the East Room of the White House, although the majority of the questions will come from Twitter users across the country, not from within the room.
Roughly 30 members of the audience will be Twitter followers from across the nation picked through the White House’s “Tweetup” page. The VIPs will live tweet the event and get a chance to meet with senior policy officials afterwards, according to the White House.

Does the teleprompter have access to the twitter feeds for the replies?
double post
It looks like the host is sitting on the bat
It's an aluminum bat hooked up to a battery, just in case he slips up and asks a real question.

Nope , thats Michelle's dick.
Ask Obama where that TV is made..... then ask him why it is not made here in the US of A....
I see his lips moving but nothing of substance or value is coming out of his mouth.
I'm convinced BO is just your typical Joe six-pack moron. He has no clue of the complex reasons why we are in such a mess and has no clue how to fix it.
Twitters non existent business model yet keeps getting money thrown at it. Not hard to see the Joo run social media will be controlling people's opinions.
I've heard that insinuating that the US is broke is tantamount to terrorism.
WHAT A JOKE!!! WHILE Mr. TELEPROMPTER FIDDLES ROME BURNS!!!
HOLY SHIIT!!!! INFANT DEATHS IN CANADA JUMP 40 PER CENT SINCE FUKUSHIOMA!!!!!!!

Fuck dude that's off topic and the policy police are out trolling today.
You are the lost link.
Seriously, I didn't mean to rattle your cage bro. Calm down.
I hate taxes, and distrust the banks and gov't just like you.
So Twitter away! Here's your thread...
Pssst, all the >TWEETS were written by Steve Liesman. Do not tell anyone.
I should be so lucky. sick santeli on him! Lunch time....
Why do I feel like I'm watching a Hugo Chavez campaign.
because you are!...and then I see the painted polished and packaged Romney on the other side and think....it's "dejavu all over again" as Yogi Berra would say.
Romney Obama Obama Romney.....blending together in my head looking like the same guy!
both as genuine and substantial as a Federal Reserve Note??
They sure are!!!! Turns my stomach!
Dear Mr. President how did you manage to get the stock market back up and kill Osama Bin laden all at the same time!

Dear Obama,
I have no questions, I just wanted to say way to go on this recovery, you are awesome
/snark
He's so dreamy.
He's high tech, and shit.
he learned how to tweet by watching the teleprompter..
He's super smart. I saw him use a Blackberry during the election.
All the college chicks got moist over that.
one thing is for sure. it wasn't a whiteberry.
No it was his crackberry...had all his gay friends and dope dealing connections in it!

They're always after me booty....Arrrrggggghhh
We are approaching butt pirate territory, now.
do you have the line in vegas about whether or not the debt ceiling will be raised?
Damnit. ...I just got back from Vegas last week and didn't think you could be on that. I would have dropped quit a bit on the debt ceiling being inreased. Not going back till end of September, so I guess I am OBL....BHO....I mean SOL.
Tyler: you need to have a portion of this site showing the most egregious example of propaganda/disinformation of the day. Methinks the TOTUS would always win.
I think Tyler would win.
I second that...... TD has no chance against the telepromter machine in office....
nothing but propaganda all day from these bought and paid for whores
Can I tweet the President and tell him that the term "pickup basketball game" does not include trying to pick up guys for homosexual sex.
That is not very PC. Call it "GM channel stuffing" instead.
I used to go to this crazy biker bar on Shepherd drive in Houston , that was called Dickhead's . He used to go by the name of Richard Head. I thought it was kind of funny.
Twitter is for twits not tweets.
Q - How many points have you knocked off your handicap since you've been Leader of the Free World?
Q- How many more countries does the U.S. invades/Bombs before your Nobel prize is recalled?
My uhhhhh handicap is actually inversly related to the stock market as a matter of fact. Well look....ahhhhhhh......I've been hitting the woods fine all day. It's just that.....ahhhhh......getting out of the woods is the problem.
Next question please.
as many gimme putts that were conceded & mulligans taken
If my sister can still get credit, why can't the US?
your Sister still has credit ...the US doesn't have any.. anywhere on the planet!
...except at Bennys place, local junk yard dealer called The Fed for both the Govt and WS, pays top Dollar for any old crap... not surprisingly really but Benny is going out of business shortly
Twat-in-Chief
if you told the President that you wanted to post him up down low, he might look at you funny and give you a big smile and a wink.
Obumma has certainly provided 'change' from Bush, he's 3 times worse!!!
this is the most inept and incompetent President in US history, no experience and clueless. The only reason you don't know it because just as his campaign was a toxic mushroom cloud of mass media pumped bullshit his protection racket at the biggest spending orgy with the least results in global history is also complete.
Hat tip to the US media for being totally corrupt and rammed with spineless crones with not a single questioning journalist amoung them.
Tune in for 'Kid Gloves with the Kremlin' at Trotsky Twitter
Since day 1 he has outsourced the day-to-day operations to the Federal Reserve and Pentagon.
Can't allow offical business to handicap his golf score
a puppet President then... but aren't they all?
Obumma had the largest campaign funds in history (God Bless America for having the most openly corrupt election system in the world) so shouldn't this translate logically to the largest puppet President in US history? ...sure looks to be playing that way but is anyone with a brain larger than a peanut still surprised what you're going to get with this pay-to-play system?
Obama Administration is three times worse than Bush Administration, eh Zero Govt?
BUSH ADMIN:
9/11, Patriot Act, Illegal war in Iraq, Explosion of spending, Tax cuts for top %, Bailouts of Wall St
OBAMA ADMIN:
Probably a fake BC, Outrageous healthcare expansion, Illegal war in Libya, Continuation of Bush Admin policies on Gitmo, Patriot Act, Iraq/Afghanistan, Bailouts of Wall St, Black Man*
*I agree, this makes his administration 3x worse. Being a criminal and banker puppet should be reserved for white men, the way God intended!
It's almost as if...it doesn't matter who we "elect"
He's half white, so that means all the dark-skinned racists can hate him too.
"Obumma had the largest campaign funds in history"
Yeah... wasn't it all those $5 donations?... Idiots! PEEPS ought have used the 5 bucks to dig an ounce of silver out of the ground...
Anyway... The answer to the thread topic ? is easy...
#AskObama Why The Country's Credit Card Is Maxed Out
Answer: Because they haven't raised the debt ceiling yet...
I counted Obumma three times worse than Bush based on his tripling of Bush's historic budget deficits which Obumma criticised and voted against at the time ...when Obumma tripled it he then put out he retracted his previous criticism of Bush running deficits and was wrong...!
...i make him a Triple Turkey on that basis (financially certified by the $$$numbers) and someone who won't vote for Christmas even if it's in the best interests of the country ...so he deserves stuffing too, 3 times for good measure!!!
You may want to stop treating official numbers as truth. Large amounts of expenses, especially war-related, were kept off-balance during Bush.
There is no difference between pseudo-leftwing and pseudo-rightwing parties, besides of aesthetic ones.
Yeah, that's a very odd figure that gets trotted out. "Tripled budget deficits."
You do realize a big part of the reason for that is because he budgeted the expense of the wars, right?
If he had left Iraq and Afghanistan off-budget, as the previous Administration had done, the budget-deficits wouldn't have changed so dramatically. But spending wouldn't be any lower. Federal deficit spending would be just as vast--it just wouldn't be as big a "budget deficit."
As if that matters at all.
Ought to be clear on that. It's one of that statistics that many folks repeat without understanding, and that can reflect poorly on those of us who hate Obama and are well-informed.
"i make him a Triple Turkey on that basis..."
So basically... a Turducken
They came in hard corps when someone "accidently" turned off the software that would notice the donation were from China.
Is this another good time to buy stocks?
Don't forget about Orangejello's twin brother Lemonjello.
What do the "profit to earnings" statements look like?

Ahhh mr. pwesident.How do you get,like, that nice crease,like, in your pants,like?
White House maid... he likes to spread the chores around too like all lazy-arsed good for nothing socialists (thieves hiding behind ideology)
Dear Mister President.
Last week I was for 2 weeks in New York and during my stay I visited Madame Tusseaud where they had a wax statue of you and your wife.
Now here comes my question:
When I watch the news, your wife's ASS looks like A BALLOON! And yet, in the MT musseum I looked... almost normal.
NOW WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?!!
ARE YOU LYING TO THE PUPLIC?
ARE YOU FAKEING A MIRRAGE IN THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE?
Second question:
If they would ever put your face on a dollar bill, Which colour should they use?
come on SD. when she eats all of those french fries, where do you think all that fat goes?
Bite your tongue sir! Those aren't 'French' fries, they're Freedom Fries! ('Nobel Peace Fries' would have been acceptable as well).
Why did you present to the American public a fraudulent birth certificate? #AskObama
Looks like I'll be pre-assigned a bunk in the re-education centers.

Pathetic that a US President should be doing this, just pathetic.
DavidC
Entertainment for all those deadbeats sitting aound on their sofas when they should be at work...scum - it's their fault. They demand 24-hour video; what's a Pres to do? He's for da people, right?
You seem to be forgetting that the job is nothing but PR. Twitter is no more (or less) of a gimmick that FDR's Fireside Chats.
P.S.
I really hate self-playing vids from white house.gov.
WTF, Tyler?
+1 wtf with the autoplay-yes chit?
Noscript is your friend.
quick, someone submit the question ..
" mr. president, why is it so hard for people to understand
and accept that all money is debt based?"
LOL what a load of crap.
This is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen.
yes the quality of actors for US Presidents has been in decline since B-Movie Regan ...we're on 'Made for Television' puppets now.. you can see how supporting-cast actors like Obumma struggles away from the teleprompter to stay in character
Where in the hell are all the real leaders? Not that I need one,but it would be nice to have somebody in office who isn't selling out the country.
if you're looking for political leaders that's easy to find.. look at Obummas campaign sponsors, they're the ones with their hands up this sock-puppets arse
..if you want political leaders forget it.. politics is a parasites game all about ingratiating yourself with sponsors, then saying what people want to hear to get elected and knowing how to return the favour once in office (hint: send taxpayer money their way)... politics is not a game of wisdom and integrity, it's about weasels climbing the slippery pole
...anyone looking for a decent clever man amongst these charlatans is overdosing on hopium
Ron Paul 2012
yes decent chap, free marketeer, says many sound responsible things ...absolutely why he is marginalised as a nut-job by the delusional corrupt frauds (the other 99% of DC)
...and precisely because as i explained above politics is all about ingratiating yourself (saying what others want to hear and pleasing your sponsors) and not at all about what you thnk, he doesn't stand a chance
Govt is not about wisdom, it's about feeding the parasites
I think we need to ask Bush, not Obama how the US credit card got wiped out. I dislike revisionist history without a much longer time period to give at least a glimmer of credibility to a lie.
suggest you find a chart of budget deficits through the Bush and Obumma periods then (watch that deficit triple)
...then think who needs 'revising' their "revisionist" history
Dear President Obama..."What is the name of the village in Kenya were you born in?

Shades of the interactive TV in Fahrenheit 451.
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy peace and prosperity.
12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword
and bend the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.
16 Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18 The blameless spend their days under the LORD’s care,
and their inheritance will endure forever.
19 In times of disaster they will not wither;
in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
20 But the wicked will perish:
Though the LORD’s enemies are like the flowers of the field,
they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.
21 The wicked borrow and do not repay,
but the righteous give generously;
22 those the LORD blesses will inherit the land,
but those he curses will be destroyed.
23 The LORD makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
25 I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely;
their children will be a blessing.[b]
27 Turn from evil and do good;
then you will dwell in the land forever.
28 For the LORD loves the just
and will not forsake his faithful ones.
Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed[c];
the offspring of the wicked will perish.
29 The righteous will inherit the land
and dwell in it forever.
30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,
and their tongues speak what is just.
31 The law of their God is in their hearts;
their feet do not slip.
32 The wicked lie in wait for the righteous,
intent on putting them to death;
33 but the LORD will not leave them in the power of the wicked
or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
34 Hope in the LORD
and keep his way.
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.
35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing like a luxuriant native tree,
36 but he soon passed away and was no more;
though I looked for him, he could not be found.
37 Consider the blameless, observe the upright;
a future awaits those who seek peace.[d]
38 But all sinners will be destroyed;
there will be no future[e] for the wicked.
39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40 The LORD helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.
I agree. But like my Grandfather used to say, sometimes, the Lord needs a little help and I think we should go give Him a little help.
Balm in Gilead...
The Lord as in LORD OF THE RINGS?
I love those movies!
Are they turning it into a series and are those the titles of the episodes?
You're an ASSHOLE! Go back to school kid!
AH! Ned Flanders! The ever friendly christian!
I'm still waiting for an apology Asswipe....or perhaps you would just like to repeat your comments from the Arizona Sand-storm article...that would be more in-line with a person of your high moral character. In fact, I bet you could be even more offensive if you wanted to try....perhaps this time invoking the name of the Prophet Mohhamed?....or are you simply anti-Catholic/Christian - of the same ilk as the cowardly Bill Maher?
Relax. We are allowed to be atheists. Just relax while we scroll down your page filler.
You relax. If you wonder what is bringing down this system, look no further than the macro garbage spewed by Ayn Rand and her devoted followers. I know..I know..just another coincidence that Ayn Rand was an outspoken atheist.
Wake-up moron!
Norway seems to be doing alright, and they understand the importance of separating church and state. Though I don't think you could call them 'Ayn Randian'. Coincidence? I guess so, by your line of reasoning.
As long as we're on the subject though, can you name me one theocracy that isn't/wasn't brutally dysfunctional?
Turn the other cheek, ovine!
What do rivers run through? Gullys... / kersplash...
Dear President Obama..is that true that you had to get shagged in the arse by the village leader in Kenya to become a man, but since you have turned out to be a woman do you regret not getting shagged by the village leader?
F*ck this megalomaniacal assclown! Shades of Kim Jong Il on crack bitchez!
make ipads here? yeh sure. americans won't work for 2 dollars a day in horrible working conditions.
A country that makes stuff.... like the bullshit running outta D.C.?
Just another 1.5 years and then we can listen to a new mouthpiece.
We make shit here-big macz and toxic debt instruments to unload on the world, and plenty of shit to blow them up with if they aren't buying (sarcasm on). Peace sells...

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah like in Germany-the Gestapo...strong, powerful, well funded, and of course brutally rounding up all dissenters! All the prerequisites of a fully fascist state
I saw a doc on the Gestapo and life in NAZI-land recently (They Thought They Were Free ... I think it was) and actually the Gestapo was not all that large. Here's the scary part: most of their "intelligence" was gathered by volunteer "good citizens" denouncing their neighbors, friends and even family members. Does that sound a bit familiar?
Sure enough it does, a lot of the propaganda machine after WWII was imported here to assist our masters in propaganda. They were given immunity and set up shop in the burgeoning intelligence apparatus at the time. Much of their work is still the foundation for how our masters run things. See something say something is but the latest name for an ongoing campaign to recruit 'good citizens' to aid in the snuffing out of legitimate dissent.
See something, say something ... yep, that's what I had in mind. Just noticed, BTW, check the initials: SS, SS
Serindipitous symbolism. Another one of History's little rhyming couplets.
we already have one... It's called the 2nd Amendment
Sieg heil das furher Obama!

MORE GRANTS ???????.......WTF !!!
Federal Dollars? Like the Fed Gov't "earns" money....
10% of income to student loans and 60% in taxes. Sounds boolish for consumer spending? hahahahaha!
I agree with that 10%, sounds like a college tax essentially which you will pay most of your life. Plain stupid. If you make debt harder to come by (ie not a gov subsidized racket), the colleges will be forced to lower their costs (and tuition) to make it affordable, or at least a worthy investment.
Competition? Market Discipline? Naw, can't have that! What are you, some kind of far-right loonie or something?
this is the biggest insult to our intelligence in quite some time.
I'm a minority (I'm a taxpayer). How much is this fiasco costing me?
Make it easy on yourself. Liquidate everything and send it to the treasury.

Next question.
If there was but a single honest person within a HUNDRED miles of this clown
they would pull the plug on that bitch.
Don't worry, your kids and grandchildren agreed to pick up the tab.
This is like Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham. He's going to give you the same answer whether you ask it at the White House or over Twitter, on an Ipad or in iambic pentameter.
I'm the central planner, I am, I am. The government knows best...listen to The Man! Buy more crap, borrow and spend. Unicorns and rainbows are just around the bend...
the trouble is , that these foreign assholes come here on student visas and don't leave. i mean how long has this gone on. the muslim invasion started after the javits bill that was rammed through congress in 1965. i used to go to the college library and look around and see all of these chinese people and dotheads, and smelly arabs......i used to get sick of it. even as young as i was, i never liked them being here but i didn't understand what was going on then. when they started aborting children in 1970, the colleges needed warm bodies. so they started letting foreign students come here and study. the problem is however, that they overstay their welcome. they are not imbedded here. this country is dead, as we have known it. americans can't even find adequate employment and this was always the problem for a long time. it is totally unfair that companies hire these foreigners at a cheaper rate than americans , and do it on the H1B visas, etc.
You are nuts or retarded.
THe avg normal home breed fatass bum won't get off his ass to work.

Btw, recently jewish Mieczyslaw "Mietek" Pemper died here in Germany.
Yeah that's right. Not in Poland. In Germany, the country of his people's murderer's.
He was Amon Göth's personal translator and secretary in Auschwitz and was depicted by Ben Kingsley in Spielberg's 1993 movie "Schindler's list".

The biggest problem I have with the questions so far is that they are all phrased - "what will the government do... to help me"
JFK had an answer to this stupid question. Additionally, the government doesn't do stuff for free, and this is what is lost on these people.
JFK did provide some actual help in the form of executive order 11110. Which got him killed. A repeat would earn Obama the same sentence, but at least we'd know which side he was on.
