Live-Like State of the Union Updates Pre/Post Game and During the State of the Union General Motors Halftime Show
Granted, we are working from a rather small sample size, as we don't often pay attention to State of the Union speeches, but if the pre-game hints of the potential blusterfuck post-game are any indication, the latest American Apology Tour is composed entirely of domestic flights, and filled with alliteration. Like, for example, the gist of the pre-game talking points purportedly passed out by the White House yesterday (complete with patented Zero Hedge EasyStand annotations and unredacted staff notes):
Allow us to translate for you, as between the "law of threes" and the repeatedly awful attempts at clever word games, you are as likely to vomit up your lunch as to have your faith in the administration (or anything else) restored.
Topline Points: Pre-State of the Union
**Not for Distribution**
Rescue [from the second great depression], Rebuild [the economy- great job on this by the way] and Restore [America's world leadership in the category of kowtows per hundred foreign dignitary hours]. (Hereinafter "R.R.R.")
No president in our lifetime has ever faced the challenges Obama has. ("...unparalleled in our lifetime.") [I mean give the guy a break, it's his first year on the job].
$1.3 trillion deficit blah blah blah economy, two wars blah blah blah health care costs blah blah blah bush sucked blah blah can I borrow a dollar please please please blah blah blah.
Faced with daunting challenges [Plouffe, can we get Jack Nicholson in a Marine uniform to chime in "Is there any other kind?" for the cameras after the speech?] Obama took strong and politically-difficult [You were right Rahm, "politically=suicidal" didn't exactly convey a positive message here] steps to R.R.R. blah blah blah.
Within one month of his inaugural, President Obama had shepherded [no, really, they used this word] the most far-reaching [and most limited grasping] [Five Year] economic plan in American history. One year later we are beginning to see signs of [something... Rahm? Line please?]
The President saved or created (approximately) -1 second great depressions. [Phew! That was close, eh?]
The third derivative of jobs is 10% of its previous level one year ago and if you double count the hunk of GDP from last year that went to taxes by counting it again when we spend it this year as stimulus, you can sometimes squint and see some unusual growths on the economy's pancreas.
The President has been laying a New DealFoundation for [non]working families, [formerly listed large-cap but now] small business owners and economic competitiveness [compared to Venezuela].
Changing the way business is done in Washington [yeah, that's true, actually] standing up to special interests [like taxpayers] and making government [inspectors general] more accountable etc. etc.
Blah blah blah Iraqhanistan-wait-what's-that-behind-you-I-could-swear-I-saw-something-now-it's-gone-where-were-we-again and strengthening ties with the people who ordinarily control the section of [the Islamic Republic of] Pakistan defined by the better neighborhoods in Islamabad and 50m on either side of the M-2 motorway.
We are closer than ever [except maybe 1994, 1962, 1958, 1955, 1947, 1931 and 1917] on real health reform.
President Obama has also signed historic legislation. [Again, can we get a Jack with "Is there any other kind?"]
For the first time evv-ah every visitor to the White House is being put on a list, resulting in an important subsidy to manufacturers of SCIP/STE secure phones which are now used to conduct all secret meetings. The reduced travel also creates a smaller carbon footprint, making this White House visitors program the greenest in the history of North American plate tectonics.
We've also eliminated the influence of [non-approved] lobbyists.
After one momentous year [we sure this is how we want to put this?] in office, President Obama has governed as he said he would, making tough decisions instead of deferring them, thinking about the long-term well-being of the country['s unions] and not just his own, oneshort-term politics.
Make sure to refresh this page during the address if you experience dizziness, nausea or incontinence.
8:01: No, Barry, there is no "on time." There is only early or late.
8:02: Joe Biden looks like an ad for Crest Whitening Strips. Biden and Pelosi in the same shot is all the argument against HDTV that ever need be presented.
8:04: We are rooting for Pelosi to hit Biden's hand with the gavel.
8:06-8:08: That's a lot of clapping for a non-campaign event.
8:09: Make it look good Pelosi. Party unity. Make it look good. I mean it. That's right. Strong smile.
8:12: The Teleprompter bounce (left... right... left... right...) in full effect.
8:13: One year ago I took office with two wars... a disastrous economy and...
Does this self-congratulation ever get old? Apparently not. It is starting to feel like an old Yorkshiremen sketch.
Depending on what your definition of "strong" is, our Union is strong.
8:17: Looks like we are in for the "double down" strategy instead of a move to the center. Can't say that's surprising.
8:18: We all hated the bank bailout. About as popular as a root canal. (Thanks, I'll be here all week).
8:19: Unemployment might be double what it is today. (Yes, he actually said this).
War declared on big banks. Congress cheers. That will about do it for our coverage.

Everything that needs to be understood about the US govt.
www.ae911truth.org
First time in 25 years of watching these events that I recall open, mocking laughter during the president's address.
What they need is Change as in Change the subject--
just replace the word "we" with the word "I" and you've nailed it
I've worked in some "unusual" countries - when things got to be so funny that you knew the show couldn't go on much longer - it didn't.
It won't be a fun outcome.
"The third derivative of jobs is 10% of its previous level one year ago and if you double count the hunk of GDP from last year that went to taxes by counting it again when we spend it this year as stimulus, you can sometimes squint and see some unusual growths on the economy's pancreas."
-Pure Genius, thank you Marla
Barney Fife lives!!
I am cleaning my dishes.
Let me be clear, there will be no streaks in order to make these dishes as transparent as possible.
Make no mistake, sometimes you have to make the tough, unpopular choices, like Palmolive over generic, to assure the shiniest plates that all at the table deserve.
The main purpose fo the modern State of the Union (no matter which Prez is giving it) is to give the columnists from Politico, Slate and Time magazine something to talk to each other about for a week.
They'll blather on about how this is a "game changer" (good or bad) until they realize no one is listening, then they'll change the subject.
That's about it.
cue the soft parade:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XlqCFi6o-E
Does anyone really need to watch this nonsense? I think we can all figure out what will be said and it won't be hope/change. That's in the crapper now thanks to S. Brown and the realization that the american public is pissed off.
Sure. It's even better than South Park.
sorry for the long post with some minor redactions for purposes of clarity
excerpts from the speech
We face big and difficult challenges. And what the American people hope – what they deserve – is for all of us, Democrats and Republicans, to work through our differences; to overcome the numbing weight of our politics. For while the people who sent us here have different backgrounds and different stories and different beliefs, the anxieties they face are the same. The aspirations they hold are shared. A job that pays the bill. A chance to get ahead. Most of all, the ability to give their children a better life.
You know what else they share? They share a stubborn resilience in the face of adversity. After one of the most difficult years in our history, they remain busy building cars and teaching kids; starting businesses and going back to school. They are coaching little league and helping their neighbors. As one woman wrote to me, “We are strained but hopeful, struggling but encouraged.”
It is because of this spirit – this great decency and great strength – that I, Barack H. Obama have never been more hopeful about America’s future than I, Barack H. Obama am tonight. Despite our hardships, our union is strong. We do not give up. We do not quit. We don’t allow fear or division to break our spirit. In this new decade, it’s time the American people get a government that matches their decency; that embodies their strength. And tonight, I’d like to talk about how together, we can deliver on that promise.
By the time I, Barack H. Obama am finished speaking tonight, more Americans will have lost their health insurance. Millions will lose it this year. Our deficit will grow. Premiums will go up. Co-pays will go up. Patients will be denied the care they need. Small business owners will continue to drop coverage altogether. I, Barack H. Obama will not walk away from these Americans. And neither should the people in this chamber.
Rather than fight the same tired battles that have dominated Washington for decades, it’s time for something new. Let’s try common sense. Let’s invest in our people without leaving them a mountain of debt. Let’s meet our responsibility to the people who sent us here.
To do that, we have to recognize that we face more than a deficit of dollars right now. We face a deficit of trust – deep and corrosive doubts about how Washington works that have been growing for years. To close that credibility gap we must take action on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue to end the outsized influence of lobbyists; to do our work openly; and to give our people the government they deserve.
That’s what I, Barack H. Obama came to Washington to do. That’s why – for the first time in history – my Administration posts our White House visitors online. And that’s why we’ve excluded lobbyists from policy-making jobs or seats on federal boards and commissions.
But we cannot stop there. It’s time to require lobbyists to disclose each contact they make on behalf of a client with my Administration or Congress. And it’s time to put strict limits on the contributions that lobbyists give to candidates for federal office. Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign companies – to spend without limit in our elections. Well I, Barack H. Obama don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, and worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I, Barack H. Obama am urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong.
I, Barack H. Obama am also calling on Congress to continue down the path of earmark reform. You have trimmed some of this spending and embraced some meaningful change. But restoring the public trust demands more. For example, some members of Congress post some earmark requests online. Tonight, I, Barack H. Obama am calling on Congress to publish all earmark requests on a single website before there’s a vote so that the American people can see how their money is being spent.
Perhaps it speaks loudly and clearly enough in and of itself, but I gotta say it anyway, anon: Your brilliant insertions of the inital "H" (uh, geez, that would be Hussein?) were pure genius. God, where do intellects of your caliber come from?? /sarcasm.
Exactly. No one has ever referred to the middle initial of a President.......nor should they........because why??
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Seems some don't like BO either. Can't win. Lots of very thin skin in America.
Are you saying he is ashamed of his middle name? I thought he embraced it which means we all should.
Oh, you really nail it here. Some people would think that "W" was invoked to distinguish him from his near-predecessor by the same name if you left out the W.
AKA his Daddy.
Not to mention that W was actually known as Dubya in his family.
It plays as patently racist ill will to cite it in the case of Barry (as Obama was known in his lilly-white family and community.) It speaks for itself when people like you throw it out as if it were especially meaningful.
About as cheap as you can get.
So no one should use his middle name or initial. Just need to understand the rules.
Americans are very thin skinned.
Michelle is racist...add that to your dirty laundry that you'd like to be cleaned there, mr b.o.b
Marla, there are not many women who I'd marry without asking their last name but you are one of them.
Amen to that.
Ditto. At my age I have very few ambitions left in life, but one of them is to some day meet Marla Singer.
Maybe in a few years all of us Greatest Depression survivors can have a conference with Marla as our keynote speaker.
you must be the oldest person on the internet..98?
Dude, what makes you so sure Marla is a female?
What makes you so sure I'm male?
Marla's my favorite blogger on ZH for a reason. LMAO. She's funny as hell yet gets the point across everytime. Let's face it. Some of this shit is dry. She makes it entertaining. Kind like laughing while wanting to put my fist through the wall from the pent-up frustration.
1)I,I,I,I,......I,I,I....
2)Old Administration's mess, Old...
3) I,I,I........
4) Depression, Depression,....
5) I,I,I,I,...........
Yes Mr. President, we all agree, you are a fu@king idiot.
Inherited.
Did they pass out a barf bag with those talking points?
Marla, Marla, Marla, Marla. Ohme, I missed you Marla.
I always thought the White House was constructed in such a fashion to out last the ravages of time.
But with our current leader the White House is starting to look like the Haitian Presidential Palace.
The collapsed cupola....
The ghetto that surrounds DC is enveloping 1600 penn. ave. it's morals, principles, and ethics.
Lie, breed, hustle. It's a Chi-town gansta's life.
"We love ya CC"
Where are the rating stars? After playing the Obama SOTU drinking game (a shot every time O uses the word "I") for about 5 minutes, the comments here are going to be classic and should be rewarded.
I don't agree with using the word "I". I'm 43, the liver's already pretty well pickled, and I don't feel like having my stomach pumped tonight.
Can we use another term please? How about "recovery", "reform", or "jobs"?
Ahh crap, those will finish me off too.
How about a drink every time he uses the phrase "spending cuts" or "prosecution"?
We'll all go to bed stone, cold, sober.
What about, "Let me be perfectly clear"?
Make no mistake...
And, you must do 5 quick shots with the invariable:
"The State of the Union is strong!"
Don't forget the:
We can all agree that....
and
No one would dispute that ....
I'm dying here you guys. Sudden Alcoholic Hepatitis. Thanks.
Playing on "Look..." I only finished two beers
Marla, great stuff but as previously noted, you have to double down on the I's.
If only the teleprompter were to go down tonight, we could see the third candidate behind Conan and Leno for the late night show.
Written out of tonight's speech was this line, favored by the Chicago elites, "A magnum in the hand, is worth two in the Bush."
Unfortunately I won't be able to watch the SOTU this evening, as I have to take out the garbage, mail the shredded membership offer back to AARP, put air in the tires (of my bike), and comb my hair.
Guys...Marla is a dude--an avatar designed to connect with sexually deprived traders. She/he is funny but asking to marry her is like watching "THE CRYING GAME."
My state of the art VoiceGenderChanger is constantly hooked up to the Zero Hedge hotline when I answer- along with the mic used for Radio ZH.
Marla,
I love your commentary, but I think your packing...and it ain't a Ruger GP100.
No, it is an H&K p7m8. And yes, occasionally we get a nimrod or two who, despite the fact that I often answer the Zero Hedge hotline and yammer on aimlessly on the sporadic Radio ZH program as well as the One Hundred Trillion Dollar Pyramid, somehow manage to miss the fact that I'm a girl. Whatever floats your boat there, Anonymous.
That's why the stock market is so easy to manipulate. People who are interested in it don't have very good powers of observation.
I got one for my mom (HKp7m8), It's a girl gun (but still badass).
That's how I think of Marla "A girl, but sill badass" (And hot too if she REALLY looks like Helena Bonham Carter!)
There's nothing sexier than a hyperintelligent, gun packing woman that's confident enough to call herself a "girl".
Marla. I always figured you as packing a .45 ACP.
Keep your homoerotic fantasies in congress please.
Negative Mr. Anon - Marla has teh sekse voice, have heard it on Radio ZH. Would curl up at her feet for a nap any day.
+1 for the GP100, though: stainless revolvers are apocalypse/SHTF-compliant. Jam-free corrosion resistance ftw.
Marla is a dude? Oh me Oh my! I'm putting away my lotion now.
But her stories are the best. They give me hope.
Like a high speed train project. The hope for mag-lev change so we can get from Tampa to Disney and save 30 minutes of total transportation time. YEA!! [arousing applause from the space monkeys]
Eh? Who cares? Marla is Marla, respect her wit, gender doesn't matter cuz you're most likely gettin none anyways.
Watch him, and miss, "The Ace of Cakes"????
Riiight.
Marla a Wiccan naw say it aint so
yes! she broke out the lavender !!!!
SEIU colors. Yay.....
I hear about them in the letters I read. He does have super powers.
Is it just me or does he sound absolutely empty of truth. The words ring hollow. He is sounding like a fake.
This man is no Lincoln be is GWB lite---if that was even possible.
Full Disclosure: I voted for him.
FUCK he is lying about the BANK BAILOUT!
YO! Anyone just see Timmy??? Man, he looks like he went home and cried for 3 hours, LOL.
Anyone getting a lie per minute count or anything?
I couldn't keep count and drink at the same time....sorry.
I can't drink fast enough. Time to set down the Maker's Mark and grab the bottle of Booker's.
How many emotional strings is this guy willing to pull
He should be playing a Harp up there
Looks like he's only playing well to half the house.
Did anybody notice that the Republicans didn't clap and looked pissed off when he said "eliminate tax breaks for people offshoring our jobs?"
Or that the Republicans didn't clap and looked pissed off when he talked about "sealing our borders?"
Maybe it's because they have interests in offshoring our jobs and bringing in illegals?
Wait for it......"GREEN" jobs
I couldn't listen to any more. I tried, I really did. Made it about 10 minutes. thats my record with this prez.
standing up to special interests [like taxpayers]
LMAO! You've set the bar high for 2010.
Populist Rhetoric from a teleprompter president...
QE 2, Buy, Buy, Buy...
What do you call a president that sounded retarded even with a teleprompter?
"Uhhh... ummm... you can't get fooled again."
Illiterate?
There ya go. Climate bill. How does that square with a spending freeze?
How does the spending freeze square with the (cough, cough) tax cuts?
I wonder if anyone is calculating the cost of this speech by minutes?
I thought that the Stimulus Act included funding for 10,000 unemployed accountants to keep a running ledger, no?
He still thinks there's overwhelming evidence for global warming ???
Didn't you see the drinking game where you drink every time he tells a lie? (I almost spit my beer out at that one!)
Meanwhile, he puts a duty on Chinese electric blankets.
MORE MONEY FOR AG EXPORTS.......WOOOOOHOOOOOOO....FUCK YOU AFRICA
He wants to export to us !
No Mr President we want to export to you.
Mr. Obama is doing well tonight. Here is the latest picture of him for those not watching.
http://i50.tinypic.com/20uwro5.jpg
Honestly though, the $30B earmark from TARP for small business loans was a masterstroke.
Here's how they probably plan to double exports: destroy the U.S. dollar
My first thought was what does this equate to on DXY? Granted we're not asking for much to double current exports, but how the hell do you even increase exports without a weaker dollar? More subsidy? Open source all our intelligence technology? (oh, wait, the chinese already did that...)
Oh, Christ! $10K for a college education, and then only pay back 10% of your student loans, did I hear that right!?
(Hey, can we make that retroactive?)
Ya know???
Speaking of which..... Anyone notice how Mrs. Obama isn't exactly smiling during this?
And extra benefit if you go into "public service." So let's encourage growth in government workers......
Shit, I wish it was 10k. I go to a state school, am in my junior year, and have easily paid out 30k already.
It's you only have to pay 10% of your disposable income toward your loan when in repayment, forgiven after 20 years if you're most people, forgiven in 10 years if you're government sector.
This is turning out to quite a shopping list. I wonder where Bernanke is going to get the money...
come, let me show you my money tree
Here's a couple trillion dollars Congress. Keep the change.
Turtle on a fence post!
So buy nuclear stocks and energy service stocks. Sell the banks.
Screw Federal Health care.
Obama care = early retirement for docs (like me). To many patients with too little reimbursement and no tort reform.
Maybe I could interest you in some cash business on the sly. Shhh.....
I wonder if George Quay is in attendance
Some one tell this guy that this is not the mid 60s and LBJ was a terrible president.
This war on poverty thing is great but you cannot give trillions to banks and at the same time go for big fiscal spending even if you keep a reserve currency of sorts.
Obama was dealt a bad hand and made it into a disaster. Cut taxes for individuals and businesses and cut cap gains taxes. Be Reagan not Carter.
+1 Dr. Platinum
Fuzzy math... Budget surpluses in 2000 with cash accounting.
When will that lie die.
Brilliant, Marla. Fucking brilliant. :)
Now he's saying stuff that's just delusional. Line by line veto, hah! Oil companies and hedgies and 250K going to have higher taxes! Market is toast tomorrow.
Don't you trust Obama with a scalpel?
So... He's saying that he's going to cut taxes for 95% of Americans, small business owners, AND for large businesses that normally export jobs overseas. Yet, he's admonishing the fiscal irresponsibility of the past decade, and explicitly hammering on the two Bush tax cuts and reckless government spending... Gotta love politicians.
WTF????? Executive order for the deficit reduction committee after it just got blocked????
The reduction committee was "given" powers that could not be regulated!
Did Obama skip the class on economics? Too many classes on community organizing.
That was one of his early morning classes which he always overslept for.
Unfortunately Into To the US Constitution was the class proceeding it.
Thank God for him though that Advanced Manipulative Mass Psychology was a night class.
Joker's doin' a friggin' stand-up routine...the man simply is not serious, not in his ideas or as a leader
i agree...the facade's beginning to crack
keep up the pressure kiddees
How long does it take to become a citizen of Canada?
I had a couple friends get in big trouble trying to accidently smuggle dirt into canada. (Gardening bags of topsoil). So if you try it take a shower before you go. They don't like american soil. They kind of hassled the frenchies that were there and it flared up a big hassle because people were being unduly mean and disrespectful of each other. So don't be mean about french. It's kind of a sore spot.
Which UN supranational regulatory body overseas the transportation of earthly organic matter across international borders?
The department of whoever gives me more kickbacks gets to be right. Now you KNOW why god really wants that judge position it's FAT MONEY!!
He's slamming the supreme court right to their faces. Shit, he is Hugo Chavez.
can't stand him but they deserved to be slammed for that
+10000
It was a shit decision. The decision could have rested on much narrower grounds and didn't require overturning 100 years of precedent. Judicial activist as hell.
So never should overturn prior decisions?? All preceding decisions were rightly decided? Wow. Blacks are in trouble then.
Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech. Don't blame the supreme court, blame Patrick Henry.
do you think they meant for individuals or corporate zombies with no head?
i mean why have 'freedom of the press' if you just said there was unlimited free speech a mear phrase before? think about it...
So corporations can have taxation without representation and without free speech. That seems like bad logic / law.
Compromise. No free speech for corporations in exchange for no taxes on corporations.
Corporate taxes are just another way for a power-hungry government to confiscate more money in a way that is obfuscated to voters. Government is afraid to tax voters directly, so they tax evil corporations who collect the taxes from voters (albeit just select voters - called shareholders and corporate customers). But most Americans are dimwitted enough to not really understand they are really paying the tax -- the corporation is just the intermediary.
So let's eliminate corporate taxes -- which will meaningfully reduce corporate lobbying, will make clearer to voters how much government is costing them and, bonus, we'll take away corporate free speech rights.
Throwing the gauntlet down to the SC. Nice building you got there...be ashamed if anything happened to it.
A friend email'ed me this yesterday evening. You'll have to take my word for it...
The following scrap of paper was found in the White House trash bin.
Notes for speech writer idiot.
1) call me Lord Vader, Emperor of the Universe.
2) Direct NASA to build Death Star.
3) Fat Limbaugh joke
4) Sell Southern states to pay reparations for slavery.
5) finance Air America to create jobs
6) Crazy Glenn Beck joke
7) Declare war on talk radio
8) Hire Alvin and Chipmucks to do Voice of America (they're so damn cute)
9) Blame Bush!!!
[Note to self: fresh nicotine patch]
10) Open trade with Cuba; trade surplus missles for cigars.
11) Sell off shore oil drilling rights to Venezuela.
12) Massachewus joke.
13) Send Hillary to some hell hole (something she can't pronounce and give her another lousy translator)
14) more tax cuts for poor people and stuff like that
15) I should probably say something about peace in the middle east.
16) green eco stuff. save the glaciers or adopt homeless whales - whatever
17) big finish, unite the world, make America great again, I want those damn republicans standing and clapping when I walk out.
Guy is taking the country down the drain and fukkin our kids and he seems to think it is hilarious...
alito take it easy with the head nods and shakes. it's......unbecoming
How many DJIA points do we lose tomorrow? I give it -100+
no way dude. bernanke's getting confirmed, like it or not
It is Bush's fault...it is the Supreme Court's fault...it is the Congress's fault...it is the bankers' fault...it is .....
Apparently he never read, "How to Win Friends and Influence People."
Just slammed the Republican Senators....why doesn't he just declare himself King and dissolve Congress and the Supreme Court.
DOW futures up 40. Anyone care to explain?
#208646
Gotcha. Up 50 now
started around 28ish
The upside down thinking of the markets. The media will spin this into positive news for the market.(CNBC) Should be in the shitter but will not, shit maybe a +100 point day, I do see the dollar is reacting lower though.
WHat do the Futures matter, and T A for that matter? Do you think these markets are 'FREE'?
Basically prices and interest rates will be set where the gov thinks they should be. The markets make the news, not the other way around.
"Markets up 100 - well, Dick, it appears investors LOVE the idea of Geithner and Bernanke staying on board, and all BO will do to re-establish America to its formal glory."
I think I've heard this speech before. Was it Brezhnev or Andropov?
P.S. Marla how am I supposed to tell my mom that I am in love with a man? I am a 6'4" Russian boy who believes in God. Have you no heart?
CCCP
That's cool he's ending the wars in the Middle East. Hope that works out okay. What's could go wrong? Iranian nukes, resurgent Al-Queda....stuff like that.
Oh bleah.... sure Iran has problems, but I'd say the biggest is that we have two large armed forces on both sides of their borders. Remove us and you remove a reason for them to continue to build.
Are you kidding? They are building nukes no matter what and they won't be squeamish about using them. They've been at war with America since 1979, whether we want to believe it or not.
Yeah, they can't be responsible with nukes like us westerners. I mean, they might actually USE them.
I am Chumbawamba.
What, do they have Joe Wilson gagged tonight?
Nice. Use Kennedy AND Reagan in the same sentence. Very impressive.

He just wants to do everything for everyone at the same times--except he's anti-business, anti-tax cuts, and pro-depression. Bummer.
Never saw a gubmint solution he didn't like... sophomoric boob
He's getting into civil rights stuff....I'm fading. 20% unemployment by the end of his term. The economy is toast.
Canada, eh?
repubs will win in October and fuck it up just as bad. they'll cut taxes and increase spending like they did under that total fuck up Bush
