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.

stupid nigger
"stupid nigger"
As a stupid nigger I am highly offended by that remark.
Man, that was funny!
Best...comment...ever!!!
Reminds me of a Vietnamese friend of mine. Some guy yelled, "Chink" out of his truck window. She, out of character, yelled right back at him, "I'm a gook you braindead redneck."
Thank you for making my day better after hearing this guy on a daily basis. Will you run for president now? Please.
Baconator, please don't continue to pollute Zerohedge with your presence. Seriously, I'm begging you.
typical republican and/or libertarian
Fuck off.
typical republican and/or libertarian
Cite one libertarian that has used the "n" word please. I'll bet I can give you more Democrats that have used it. I would bet you are from either California or Seattle.
I'm sure Senator Bird said it a few times....
Listen up Mcgoldbrick, the racism of low expectations is much more corrosive and damaging than the use of a single word with no mojo left. Ignorant blind lefties never learn.

correction: typical poster who writes something inflammatory so that someone else responds "typical republican and/or libertarian" (the respondent being or not being the same "person" as the original poster), who then inspires another poster (who could or could not be the very exact same "person") to say that they "must be from Seattle or something".
note to sock puppets: some of us have read Baudrillard, now how deep into the panopticon do you want to dive? zero point is fast approaching fellas...do you got what it takes to go thru the eye of the needle...enquiring minds want to know...
person (n.) - as defined in the court of Amrkn jurisprudence being either of the carbon- or corporate- based lifeform.
Are you a psych prof at a community college?
not quite, bub. i'm your Aphix Twin...now, lick my window, mama Cass.
Tied to a chair in a dark room, the black sack is taken off. Blinded by bright lights a faceless man hauntingly speaks into a microphone: "Mr. Sunstein, welcome to the Desert of the Real. Also known as Gitmo."
Hey, which rock were you hiding under Tip.e. It took a nucular cat ass trophy to drag you out again? How've you been?
ORI
Don't forget; he's part white trash too...
ROFL... I've never really had that pointed out that way before, but you're absolutely right!
As a white trash trailer park kid I am deeply offended by that remark.
He is bi-racial. Not black, not white. Unclear why he does not seem to embrace that classification.
And sadly, not very smart nor a leader.
for those of us who are bi- or multi-racial, it is quite clear why and the why is completely illuminated in your statement : "Not black, not white."
actually he is both. part chocolate, part vanilla, just like a half-and-half ice cream cone. that you deny this fact is exactly the reason why he denies to embrace it. y'all are being hoodwinked by your own blindness, whether you know it or not.
"blight"
+ 100, can I un-do a previous FTW and place it here?
Melted ice cream. If it were as you described, he would be a zebra.
agreed that it's melted and all most can see is a mirage of their own making. meanwhile, the Giant Sucking continues unabated...
New world order vernacular would be Atomic Ice Cream
I see no stigma in being not black and not white (but bi-racial)......or not native american or not asian or not anything. We need to get rid of the classification labels. But doing so is not good for identity politics, so it will linger.
i did not junk you!
my sister did.
That was as empty as they come... Where do I apply to get that 8 minutes of my life back?
No shit...empty suit. What the fuck.
Sounded like the speech writer was a 7th grader practicing a 5 paragraph essay.
Seems like we're back to the helicopter water brigade -- a similar performance, IOW.
Maybe the POTUS was driving those choppers via remote?
harwood is even worse than burnett and liesman
I just LOVE the 'personalized' stories about someone particular that was 'saved' or 'heroic' with full names and all.
That shit is just so fucking fuzzy.
And, right before the market closes so be prepared for a fucking idiot phantom rise.
Anecdotes are bullish
Oh my God, I hate the fucking anecdotes. The stories about some woman with a Hispanic name who lives in Allentown, PA who just started a wind turbine factory just drive me crazy. And I also hate how Obama uses the word "folks" all the time to show that he's "one of us".
Well prepaired remarks.
He said all he could....
Stupid shill.
he's about as useful in this crisis as Jimmy CArter was in getting the hostages released from Tehran.
they have the cable to #2, how can it fail now? sarc/off

....back to the bunker
probably back to the southern hemisphere
...the bunker in the southern hemisphere
...where he can safely watch March Madness in the comfort of a 20 inch reinforced steel door with self purifying air and enough food to last for a life time
BTW those really exist for situations just like this.
Sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher...
Apt analogy!
Thank you "Oh Holy One for making an appearance"

"There is NO possible way for radiation to reach the US!"
"uh....um......well.....uh....what does get here won't be harmful"
I have never heard a more unispiring speaker as president in my lifetime. The only conclusion I have is that he is just reading the words and doesn't really give a damn.
My most inspiring presidential statement in my lifetime is from Nixon:
Little Did You Know Dick...
People have been asking the same question about every president since...
Klutzes, idiots, Alzheimer's puppets, crook-tool-fools, liars/charlatans (depends on what your definition of "is" is), moronic-dunce-boys and teleprompter-puppet-fools....
That is in chronological order since Tricky Dick... did I leave anyone out?
"All is Well" (Baghdad Bob would be proud).
I was thinking more Hanoi Hannah but...whatever.
It's fucking unbelievable propoganda. Truly stunning to me.
The Kevin Bacon scene from Animal House would be most appropriate about now.
Baghdad Bob was right about Iraq becoming a quagmire for the US!
After weeks of clueless-ness we have an official Obummer speech?
An Obummer Speech Means 1 of 3 Things:
What a wonderful Wall Street/ BP puppet, one-term, Carter Clown this guy is...
George Bush: Give the new guy your Dunce Cap...
LOL, and, sure as FUCK, let the rocket ship take off in the equities markets.
What a cock sucking fraud of a joke. My fucking god.
If you think nuclear holocaust is good for equities wait till you see what an extinction event will do. An extinction event is worth at least +10,000 DOW points.
"If you think nuclear holocaust is good for equities wait till you see what an extinction event will do. An extinction event is worth at least +10,000 DOW points."
To cockroaches, I presume.
That would be the headline at CNBC.com
OK ..... let's push the market up as the bummer speaks. Oh --- I am all so full of confidence now.
I'm heading home to my fallout shelter ...... I plan to stay underground for about 10 years.
--see yaz
Exactly, what tired fucking game. Even the dipshit masses roll their eyes and fell vomit forming in the back of their throats. Seriously, this is just fucking stupid now.
is your shelter in the Mines of Moria? I hate to break this to you but I heard it got kicked over into section 8 housing.
I was hanging out in the Glittering Caves, but now it's full of horse poop.
Did you play "hide the helmet" with Eowyn??
Aye ...... fair lassie that one -- bit tall tho.......
this is why we need a "like" flag
No ....... that's my cousin's place. Besides the Balrog, Orcs and Golblins it's actually quite cozy. And, we don't have to worry about the Fed ....... so it's much safer in my opinion.
Gimi, never did understand why they push the Market higher every time he is going to speak. Do stocks have a better vauation because Obama flapps his jaw? But, hey it is their market not ours.
They're all fucking liars and cheats.
Time to pull out those old, dusty guillotine blueprints.
I, sort of, hate to break this to you....
You know, Geoffrey Immelt, CEO of GE and head of Obama's Committee on Competitiveness?
Okay, he signed a co-production agreement with the Chinese on the production of all the guillotines that were patented by GE?
So, if, say, three years down the line we want to actually have some sort of Jacksonian Uprising and send the Banksters to Thunderdome?
We have to buy all the guillotines from the Chinese.
Just thought I'd brighten your day.
Now, back to Obama's brackets....
Guillotines, reactor meltdowns, social uprising...it's all coming together.
"Let them eat yellowcake!"
Same worthless type of speach he was making last year during the BP debacle.

To be fair, GW's were fucking awful during the financial 'crisis' also.
At least GW had the excuse that he heavily "medicated"...
True, GW was awful, but at least he seemed to give a shit. This guy doesn't want to be bothered.
I think in quiet moments he watches the "umm umm umm... Barack Hussein Obama" video.
The only thing he failed to mention, is the increasingly popular statement:
The radiation in Japan is like eating a banana.

Haha except for on the bodies of travelers from Tokyo!
surely not as harmful as Obama himself.
Says the President who is leaving for South America........
Yeah good ole Barry is gonna ride out tomorrow's nuclear event down south of the equator with his old pal Chavez
Who the hell would waste time listening to the corporate puppets that occupy the White House ?
Harry Truman in his present condition is a better man that the previous 1/2 dozen residents.
dup
'Resident' of the United States.
Yup, just taking up space in the White House.
This President has taken less questions than any President during televised press conferences since JFK made it an art form of seasoned intelligence and true leadership. Even more a puppet than I ever imagined him to become. Which is why we at ZH call him the Teleprompter in chief.
Now watch a true master in JFK cut the minds of the press corp with his razor wit and diffusing charm backed by the knowledge that he was beholden to no lobbies of cash. Imagine Pres. Obama taking these questions without an assembly of 20 speech writers and off the cuff with such honesty reliant only upon Sorenson to write his speeches.
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jfk+show&aq=f
Barry O'Potus agreed in his contract that he would not take questions, nor speak extemporaneously.
Know Obama, know rhetoric.
No Obama, no rhetoric.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omHUsRTYFAU
You know, I never could figure out why he was considered eloquent, or even a good speaker (Obama, I mean). Sure, he has a different style than Bush II, but I honestly don't think he projects any more intelligence or credibilitiy.
C'mon he won a freakin' Nobel Peace Prize! </sarc>
He had the Hollywood screen writers to craft the performance of change that got him elected I suppose. It was a PR campaign backed with media & Wall St dollars from the beginning. Say what you need to get in office.
It's all directed at morons. that's who elected him-they don't care about informed people.
thats part of his "open and transparent" government program
He says the situation is "under survey" and basically admits that he doesn't know anything. But this doesn't prevent him from making a speech.
Never stopped him before !
Fire up the teleprompters and lets get this presser going already...
just checking but did I just see a statement by the President of the United States? Or was that Alfred E. Neuman?
just checking but did I just see a statement by the President of the United States? Or was that Alfred E. Neuman?
Looks like he has the same hair stylist from the movie dumb and dumber .
On a serious note one quote got on my nerves " Americans should do nothing but stay informed ."
It wasn't Alfred E. Neuman but you got me thinking: Obama and Ross Perot would have made an unlikely but hilarious-looking ticket.
21% Say U.S. Heading in Right Direction, Lowest of Obama's Presidency: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administra...
still got 21%? that's bullish!
Same % that said banks were good for the economy.
Should pick up some TNA here, but then I'd be out of sequence.
Wasted day.
The global chaos happening is a preview of coming attractions for geopolitical events as the United States sits on the bench instead of engaging. The USA is far from perfect but is still better than the other alternatives. History tells us things will get much worse. The despots are already filling in the global voids.
The Current POTUS is more than happy to be observer-in-chief of the decline of Western civilization.

"The bearded one"
That definitely works . I am still trying to figure out if the avatar is you or Jim .
That's Jim. My hair features are similar.
Just release a transcript of the statement and don't make the man read from the teleprompter. It just hurts everyone when he does...
Somebody get a chopper to Crawford ASAP and get Bush back in the Oval Office!
I try my best to get views from all sides... what a relief to be able to get my extreme right wing nut job views here on ZH comments, instead of torturing myself trying to get through more than a few minutes of Glenn and Sean.
At last count, 4 of you were moved to junk a comment calling the President of the United States a Dumb Ni..er.
You might want to check that junk count again.
Oh... so there is a floor to the hate after all... my bad!
Glad you enjoyed the 'speech', whitey.
"At last count, 4 of you were moved to junk a comment calling the President of the United States a Dumb Ni..er."
I believe it was "stupid Ni..er"
extreme right wing nut job views here on ZH
so in your mind anyone that dislikes Obama is this, eh?
as someone above said best, we have a government of, by & for the morons that elected Obama
if you voted for the man, you're not a nut job, you're a moron
Personal attacks are tools of the intellectually challenged... very few (if any) substantive arguments on policy, but plenty of hateful, personal vitriol here, and in any far right media venue (Karl's hate filled divide and conquer playbook in full force).
Never seen this level of hate speech directed at a president before... I wonder what's so different about this one? Oh I get it, you guys aren't basketball fans... yeah, how did I miss that?
I still don't get why everyone has their panties in a knot over the speed of response from Obama. If my country were facing this disaster, the last thing I'd be thinking is, "Fuck me, why hasn't the President of the US chimed in with his two fucking cents? Nothing can happen until he comes on TV!"
For fucks sake. I know everyone hates Obama, but this is a bit of a stretch.
Yes, we get his pathetic mouthing rather that proactive and agressive action. In an effort to prevent rendering large swaths of Japan inhabitable, to anticipate and work to materially minimize the fallout for international finance, displaced populace, and the nuclear industry, yes absolutely I would have provided aggresssive and forceful assistance. Obama is clueless to realize this is a justified war againt circumstance. iIn the annals of history Obama will go down as an unmatched dissappointment.
I acutally consider it a blessing any day Barry chooses a round of golf over teleprompting to the nation. I will happily send him a case of Titilist with his name engraved in tungsten if it would encourage him to play more golf and stay off the TV for once.

He will "address the masses" in Rio on Sunday... Good luck to him... I don't think most Brazilians will applaud a President of the USA who keep troops in Afghanistan...

Not as pissed as the Lybian freedom fighters who will be "cleansed" before Obama gets around to making a decision.
Doesn't japan have some radiation sickenss in their history. I guess the world just loves to dig into your misery and keep fucking that chiken.
