Obama Address To Nation Over Japan Catastrophe
The glorious president who has taken some time off from his extremely busy schedule, is addressing the nation over the latest developments in Japan. He is not taking any questions for the obvious reason that answers are still "under survey." Watch the prepared remarks being delivered live here.

late as usual..

No kidding. You'd think he'd want to break the stereotype.
I bet he never shuts up in the theater when you're trying to watch a movie too.
thats what the left calls "cool"
did he really say japanese nukes bring "peaceful energy"
yep...this matrix is absolutely surreal!
Soon to be one of the failed designs, matrix II in situ proceeding to hyperinflationary switch in 3,2,1...
Yeah 777 please disregard that statement, Temporary Teleprompter Malfunction (TTM)
Welcome home Barry
What was Bambi smoking ??? Gas Plumes ???
peaceful energy dopey nice
hes been watching college basketball
I fully expect bullet point number 1 to be an update on how his brackets are doing.
I bet he didn't have Morehead St. over Louisville.
or the Tsunamis over the Japs.
Or the isotopes winning it all.
Springfield for the win.
Calling Homer Simpson.
<Insert jokes about black people turning up for work later here>
A few things every investor should know about Japan: blog post with some facts and figures http://bit.ly/dOWfho
I suspect his crash course in how to not say "new-kyou-lir" has taken longer than expected. Did he ever pass a general science course of any kind?
Previous presidents would have had the courage and intelligence to simply introduce their top science advisors and regulators, who would then explain what they knew of the situation (and say if they didn't know), along with their plans -- oh, wait, there isn't anyone in this administration who is a success in their field of responsibility, is there? And their plans are usually plans to fail, right?
The more I see and hear of this President, the more truly worried I feel.
*sigh* ironic indeed, when we finally get a President who can pronounce the word nuclear correctly we actually need one.
yeah. obama excels at reading, speaking and writing. it's the doing part that sucks.
I got it now T...
Very funny

Well, with passengers from Tokyo now showing signs of radiation.. he couldn't possibly hold off anylonger. By now almost 50% of Americans know about the Japanese radiation problem.
How kind of him to take some time out of his busy schedule.
Congratulations!
They are renaming the town in your honor to FUBARshima.
The radiation is currently only rising to max elevation of @10,000 ft from what I understand. Slow winds are usually found at that height. The jet stream can move radiation between 100 to almost 400 KPH.
The amount of radiation reaching North America is very dependant on the amount of time spent travelling... the longer the time the lower the resultant remaining levels.
The question he should be answering is what preparations are being made in the event that the additional heat created by further reactor meltdown lifts the nuclear fission waste products from the spent fuel rods high into the stratospheric jet stream at @30,000 feet.
Perhaps a prayer based initiative?
Just askin'...
<Obama>
We will pick up this discussion after the final game on Sunday. Until then put your tin foil on and check your brackets.
Good luck and God speed the Hoyas.
Tsk tsk tsk... CD... of all people you should know the dangers of tribalism.
I however say "Good luck to all" which implies 'better luck' to none. May the best team win!
"...of all people you should know the dangers of tribalism."
Yea, it includes lots of tattoos... lol
Crap... could I have picked a worse comment to post the word 'tribalism' on?
Memo to self:
Think before posting!
Those were the words of Obama as he tried to be a home town band wagon jumper. He could have said George Mason.
I'm an old UCONN man from well before UCONN wasn't much more than a small (nationally) unknown agricultural school. I would visit the campus dairy and creamery from time to time for the ice cream while I flirted with the female students as they stepped around the cow pies.
Jim Calhoun is a God in Storrs CT. Blink and you'll miss it.
UCONN sounds like a Madoff/Wall Street Alma Mater... CowPieU on the other hand has cache.
Sung to the tune of "Blue Bayou".
Funny you would say that because way back in the good old days the locals would call it precisely that. We're talking way back when I was a wee little lad. An old professor who I did some work for informed me of the insult when I was older. At least it was an insult to him. No humor at all.
There was some tension between the locals and the faculty, who felt themselves above the farmers and shop keepers. I hear it hasn't changed much.
Good pick-up on the spent fuel storage pond issue.
Very prescient call.
And yes I do know how to get us out of the two party one owner system.
in lak'ech
That does not surprise me, lefty professors thinking they are above the common man. Yet somehow convinced the commoners they are fighting for them.
commoners are apparently easily convinced. good number of them support their owners as well. the richest 1% is, after all, only 1%. between the lefty professors and the national republican party what are they to do?
Toby Kimball, Wes Balasuknia and the creamery was still open in the early and mid 70's.
Had some pretty nice horse stables too. Best part of the campus.
I agree. But I was chasing a different species of filly. :>)
Good information, I agree. The market is inefficiently deciding the price of iodine in LA. It seems as though no preparations are required as none are effective. It's all documented in the Happy Day's episode where Richie's parents build a bomb shelter--we've all seen it.
Radioactive iodine is only one of the nasty fission by-products to worry about. Then again every little bit of protection helps... especially for the kiddies.
Kelp is also full of bioavailable iodine... so if you have a difficult time finding potassium iodide head to your local health food store.
And let's just hope we don't need it. No-one really knows how bad this will be but my guess is that this is just the beginning if those pumps don't work tommorrow.
And they likely won't.
Tuna is also a source of iodine.
But I wouldn't eat any from off the coast of Japan now that the radioactive "cooling water" from the ocean is assuredly returning back to the ocean with its new hitchhikers.
... and Darrell. I would worry more about the mercury in the tuna at this stage since the dilution solution works wonders on account of the Ocean being so voluminous. (Is that a word?)
My main concern is centered towards what this years crops in North America will absorb being a former farmer and all... I picked up another 300 lbs or so of rice and pasta yesterday... I hate rice but if things are fine I can always donate it to a local food bank.
2010 may have become a vintage year if the crop dusting is done by TEC and GE this year.
I keep telling you the BLS has a copyright on "under survey"
The puppet is being brought forward to blabber at the masses
No, this is pretty much how he rolls operating under his own power.
Obama: Our first woman President
President Obama said.
But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that man, Mr. Larry Sinclair. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.

He looks for all the world, like he is about to break out into a Steppin' Fetchit tap dance. Gawdhelpus.
Nah..more like the Detroit Shuffle line dance.
~Misstrial
He stopped watching the NCAA Tournament for us?!?! What a great prez.
Between games.
Is it just me, or did his walk away say piss off?
I say "piss off" every time I see him. Of course, I'm not the pretend "leader of the free world" so few hear it.
i think he has disappropriate facial features. his ears are to big for his little pointy face. he would definitely scare a baby. not symmetrical.
eeeeeehhhh awwwww! eeeehhh awwww!
That made me laugh. We have to get Bonzai to photo shop an Obama-donkey pic.
Think he's bad? Have a look at his wife
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s56/oidad/two-1.jpg
I got the sense something was on his nerves as well when he marched away .
He had Louisville in the Final 4 and now his bracket is toast.
"Nothin' but NFLX"...

No questions? I wanted to ask what the hell he was thinking picking Kansas to sweep the tourney
What the hell? He hasn't left the country for carnival yet? Damn , I can't believe this shit....
It was last week Drifter, he's fucking late for that too. This guy is about as useful as a chickenwire rubber.

Oh by the way, this is as close as she will get to Obama. He prefers the company of men.....
I believe we have change now give us hope.
The proverbial has hit the fan US Navy evacuating non essential personel to staging post in Korea. ” only bring 3 days kit with you “.
Here are the Evac orders from the Navy. I am told the video is of Capt. Eric Gardner, of the Naval Air Facility Atsugi.

The Japanese have stated they want our troops out of their country. Gates told them no, we are not leaving. Hmmm........
WHAT???????????
Source?
Kind of weird isnt' it? They want us out and all of a sudden they go to hell. Coincidence? You tell me.
There has been NO request to do that.
By the way , SR, Source, How about this one?
http://www.thenews.com.pk/NewsDetail.aspx?ID=9346
That's not a request, hello.
Yes they want all of our troops out of Okinawa and Japan proper. The prime minster was elected on that platform. Gates said wait a minute hoss. we have an agreement from your predecessor from 2006........It doesn't matter that we have garrisoned 50,000 men here since the end of ww2. We are here to help you. Why is it we never leave anywhere? Gates warned them that it would be a big mistake if they kicked us out of Japan. On another note, imagine all of that foolish talk (that has subsided these days by the way) that we would ever leave Iraq? Shame on the mess.
"Why is it we never leave anywhere"
We left the Philippines.
I think the only reason we left then, and I was very surprised when we did by the way, is that we didn't need it anymore. I remember in 2005 they were talking about making that island called Banda Aceh in Indonesia, the one that almost was depopulated by a tsunami, they wanted to make it a naval base and Indonesia told them to get out , they didn't need their "help"........
And we left Wheelus Air Force Base. In retrospect not the best decision we ever made.
The Japanese sheep were getting restless before the earthquake....
Japanese Want U.S. Military Out Of Japan

Peculiar. Says updated Friday, March 14th. Today is Thursday March 17th or Friday March 18th in Japan.
I see January.
This appears to be legit - it certainly looks like Capt. Eric Gardner who is the current CO of NAF Atsugi.
http://www.google.com/images?q=naf+atsugi+eric+gardner&hl=en&safe=off
Makes a nice counterpoint to the President's speech a few minutes ago, doesn't it? As the man said, "unprecedented". Let's see if those civilian airliners start showing up at NAF Atsugi over the next few days.
He said "don't panic" though...just before "unprecedented"...
It makes a nice counterpoint in more ways than one. Out of the two videos, only one shows any leadership.
Stepford President
he's waiting for a tv timeout in the louisville game before he can talk to the world.....
In Ireland: Obama maintains silence: 'I'm going to be making a statement later about Japan, so I'm not going to answer questions now...'
White House on 3:30pm Press Conference: No questions allowed... (drudgereport.com)
"If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you."
The Teleprompter is very assuring; it's like my teddy when I was 5.
Rest assured it's split screen enabled with porn; it's like the teddy I adored at 15.
Not porn today, but rather the college basketball games. Obama is monitoring his bracket picks carefully.
Does anyone know if he has any bet$ in play on these teams?
Sportsbook.com has the March Madness brackets going.

The president said U.S. officials do not expect harmful levels of radiation to reach the West Coast of the continental U.S., Hawaii or Alaska. He repeated the statement for emphasis.
So, there will be radiation, then. Not reassurring...
What is the threshold for determining what is "harmful".
Is "harmful" speaking of the short-term, or does the "harmful" criterion include the long-term impacts also?
Even small amounts of radiation, depending on the length of time exposed, can lead to cancers. Just ask the million or so people whose deaths have been linked to Chernobyl (per the NY Academy of Sciences), despite official death counts in the mere thousands.

Dose Radiation interfere with TelePrompTers?
That would be an awkward moment.

The racist morons who supported the deployment of the fence on the border with Mexico must now be crying.
That same fence is now their prison.
Millions of Joe Sixpacks are about to start their run for the border.
Got frijoles?
what fucking fence? It never got built, dipshit. You need to to get a fresher meme sheet.
Google up images of "border fence mexico" and then come back and tell us it never got built.
Google my ass. The barriers that they have erected are not continuous, and they're sure as hell not effective. Even NatGeo has a show about smugglers and illegals for the bib wearing couch potatoes to watch.
You can go rabbit hunting any winter these parts and have to cross seven or eight "fences' that make that tax waste look like the Siegfried line. If it leaks one direction, it leaks the other.
Good luck hauling that 350lb ass of yours over the fence pal.
Wanting a fence to keep out illegals is racist?
Wow. I got nothing for that.
Are you making a case for frijole fart contra-flow?
Inhale your thoughts.
Yeah, seriously dumb shit. I would die on my knees in America before I fled to that shit hole you call Mexico. Racist my ass. You are either an illegal alien yourself, you employ illegal aliens (doubtful you even work), or you live in Alaska.
You've lived all of your life on your knees while the power elite held you by your ears. What makes you believe you could choose to die otherwise?
>>The racist morons who supported the deployment of the fence on the border with Mexico must now be crying.
Are you high? If it ever gets THAT bad? The USA will just start driving EVERYONE south until we have enough land for living. You think Latin / South American militaries or militias are even going to slow the US down in a true war to the knife?
Handicapping the "Retard of The Year" award has just gotten a little more interesting folks. The clear favorite, Hamy Weiner, once considered a shoo-in for the #1 spot, has to be a little nervous after a string of inane and spectatularly dumbassed comments was unleased by newcomer Ahmeexnal.
This could get close folks. And beleive me, if the quality of his comments keep living ot his equally retarded name, my money is on Anus-eexnal.
If Hamy doesn't show up soon to defend his title, this one could be a runaway upset in the making...
Barf bag, check.
BS detector: turned up to Max.
Vomit sensation: triggered
Just seeign that laughign face is such a turn-off.
Good luck everyone. You ARE going to need it.
i hope his teleprompter fails.
Uhhhhhhhh,,,,aaaaahhhhmmmmmm...unggggggg.......
Unbelievable days.....

Careful about turning up that BS detector too high. You'll blow out your speakers for sure.

Not getting the warm and fuzzies about the full moon this weekend. There have been alot of arrows pointing to March 20th and your last two posts have only made me more unsettling, especially what cathartes aura posted in your last link...

Has Obama had his "Now watch this drive" moment on the World stage yet?
"Now watch this dunk" ?
now.....OFF to Rio
I'm gonna watch just tosee if I can see the strings above him
Is there a transcript somewhere? I can't even really listen to him anymore.
You stole my post. No fair!
Really, that's exactly what I was going to write.
Have they posted his golf handicap stats and birth certificate as well?
Have you heard of delayed action hero??? Too late, too little man!
I hope we don't see a repeat performance by him on the Libyan-Beghazi situation. Jaw boning and doing nothing...while "yes we can!" in Libya, sung by the libyan people, gets slaughtered before our eyes! By a bloodthirsty dictator...May his diabolical laugh shrivel in Fukushima squared type hell!
Quadaffi/Gadaffi/whatever has weathered the storm. The tide has turned and no-fly or no-no-fly, he's going to stay in power.
I love you little yellow fellas, y'all sit on your bony asses and eat with twigs and play checkers with marbles.
... as you slurp your oversized diet-coke dribbling down your 2nd chin. You're so common.
I'd rather watch an old man change his diaper.
Make him point out Japan on a map.
Geography isn't taught in Kenyan universities.
Hint, it's just west of the 57th state.
+1 - He probably points to the Aleutian Islands part of the "58 States" Obama oidentified the USA as having. Obama and Dan Quaye... twin brothers !
I thought he was going to declare Ireland as a new state of the union .
The new Irish administration mentioned something about getting money from the FED rather then Frankfurt............
Oh, thank goodness, he is getting shit done. Un related - Citi has announced that silver is now doomed.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-03-17/silver-trouncing-gold-signals-s...
Not one word in regards to silver's value as a hedge against the devaluation of the dollar? Oh wait.... I forgot to read the most important line in the article... in the bank’s view.
More disinformation. They're probably about to go way long silver.
Their way of saying, "This is not the commodity you're looking for." Don't let them use the force on us.
Exactly
Will he tell us now is a good time to sell stocks?
Worthless piece of crap.
Reagan... Trust but verify.
Obama... Support but hedge?
bla bla need to save the world...bla bla bring democracy....bla bla need oil bla bla who cares
I would be in favor of a BBQ on the whitehouse lawn. Since the presidents away im sure he wouldn't mind use useing his lawn for a get-to-gather.
It would take about 100k of us im sure we could get 10k from Ga to grab some wild hog maybe 1-200 and the eastern boys could bring the beer maybe a keg or 2 each.
The western boys well im sure they could bring some greens and vittles, maybe a cow or 10 throw them on for flavor.
All in all bring the kids and wife im sure they would enjoy the vacation chance to complain about you. Maybe get some music and we would have a fine show.
Who would say no. BBQ is American after all. :P
Nice speech... NOW, get the HELL out of the way so the REAL men can do the heavy lifting. Get back to figuring out your bracket sheet. Oh yea, Quadaffi sends his regards...
No thanks, I had to mute my computer to look @ this page......
I feel so much better now. Our gutless, oh I mean, fearless puppet, Oh I mean, leader has spoken.
Who was responsible for taking him walkies this morning, Soros or Blankfein?
Do the Banksters draw straws among themselves as to which Bankster has to Walk the Poodle every week?
He said a baby was rescued! Economic recovery!
Green shoots!
Completely fucking ridiculous.
Well, having heard the comments by out supreme being president, you can see why Steve Grasso was thumbs up on the market, citing Obama's addressing the nation as his intraday bullish thesis.
Someone get a hockey helmet over to Steve Grasso on the NYSE floor. Apparently, he did not receive one from my distribution last December.
Good grief...I continue to be amazed at the limited intellectual power of the members of the new American Marxist/Banker party. Dumb as rocks, it would seem.
Following on, John Harwood at the Ministry of Truth [CNBC] is explaining why markets are buoyed...namely, that the news coverage of the Japan nuke story is a bit softer today.
Great! How confidence inspiring. Journalists ignoring the facts yesterday worked twice as hard to ignore the facts today....which included radioactive people stepping off of flights from Japan.
Louisville is losing with 2 mins to go PRez! Wrap it up!
I am radioactive O'Bama
Did he almost say 'Japs'?
Great big nothing burger.
