Watch The President Discuss Today's Abysmal Job Numbers Live

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Update: the president is now 30 minutes late. Either the guy on the 18th is taking his sweet time or the teleprompter has been hacked.

The much expected TV appearance, which made waves earlier today with everyone expecting Obama to proudly announce a +200K NFP number is about to start. Watch it live here as the scapegoating begins in 5...4...3...

They already floated the 'blame Bush' trial balloon earlier with the appearance of the Labor Sec. That went over pretty poorly, I believe. So, IMO, they willl try to place the blame elsewhere. Sounds like....'invest', 'invest'....more taxes and gov't programs. LOL.

This morning I heard:  "Raising the debt ceiling will alleviate some of the uncertainty in the markets." -- Obamatron (or words to that effect).

EDIT:  He said an agreement on raising the debt limit and cutting deficits would “give our businesses the certainty they will need to invest in creating new jobs.”

 

Don't know about that, but I'm CERTAIN that MORE Govt SPENDING is the last thing we need at this point!

Sounds like you might be already walking the legalize pot line with those pipe dreams.

Most here would love to have a system like that (well most of your points).

But that system cannot and will not be found within our rotting corpse of our government.

See, once they GET power, they KEEP power.  

That is how oligarchies work.  And once enough power is accrued, voting becomes meaningless.

President OBummer:  This is all part of my plan to let things equalize and create an atmosphere of doubt to ensure that there's as many pissed off citizens as possible.... so the real culprit, Former Prez. Bushmeister, will take the heat.  (Excuse me, Mr. Prez., you've been saying that for over two years and no one's buying it anymore.)

President OBummer:  Oh! O.K.  The challenges of this nation will bring us closer together and I will make sure there's a chicken in every pot and a smile in your heart.  The employment numbers don't mean diddily squat.  Once I get these here boys to raise the debt ceiling, the party will continue with more welfare and bailouts than you can shake a stick at....yup, good times ahead.  (But, Mr. Prez., you're sinking us further into a debt black hole.)

President OBummer:  TSA...arrest this man.....send him to my new Work House Initiative Program...otherwise known as W.H.I.P.....at our new FEMA Facility....good luck...make sure to vote for me in 2012.  Oh wait, don't worry, my staff will make sure your vote is placed for you....

Nothing to see here folks....just move along.......The Prez has nothing to say and will only do what's in his own best interest....serving his banker overlords.

Those after the presidency book deals and political luncheons really got me thinking.  What is he going to do, throw bread to his audience and stage historical sea battles to distract his malnourished moron followers?  No one is left.  Dress up like George Washington? Run a bandage around his head and do drum rolls?  America's nerves were shot in 09-10, the race car is in the red in 2011, the engine will seize up in 2012-13, and then the fun begins.

 

All empires end.  I don't feel sorry for myself, I can accept it, I have no choice, but it would be a pleasant thought to not be considered a write off for the next 20 years, just for the kids and my grandparents who worked themselves to death..(I remember a piece a few weeks back about the militarization and the fact they will use it indiscrimately.  I have to agree, the most weaponized country in the world has to test the butcher machines somehow.)

The best to do is hunt for a low key spot, as the smart jews found out.  Stay and turn into a thx 1138 robot, nope, not me.

 

"Buy more,.... buy more now!" Thank you jesus photo in a light box, so sick.

What do people expect of the US Federal Corporation? Every US president since UB Grant has been a CEO of this corporation, responsible to its shareholders, the international banks.

The CEO does not have to listen to or heed the employees (US citizen/subjects)) of the US Corp.

US citizen employees need to shut up lest you be fired (upon).

Or quit the US Corp. and become a free people.

I got two works for his "jobs" speech: Gold $1,543.00

Jobs "creation" is the new Quantative Easing.

I didn't watch the speech, but I read the transcript.

 

I am confused......

"Also to put our economy on a stronger and sounder footing for the future, we’ve got to rein in our deficits and get the government to live within its means, while still making the investments that help put people to work right now and make us more competitive in the future.  As I mentioned, we’ve had some good meetings.  We had a good meeting here yesterday with leaders of both parties in Congress.  And while real differences remain, we agreed to work through the weekend and meet back here on Sunday."

 

What does that mean?  What's a "good meeting" if nothing is resolved?

 

political theater. bread and circuses.

I guess I should know better by now........

the media is slave to the process. the same jobs number a year ago would have been greated with optimism (without much analysis) and the same number today gets blasted.so the media has sort of fallen out of love with Obama? Hell they fell out of love with George Bush on day 2. And Wall Street starting selling the market on day ONE of the Bush administration. That said here's some advice for Obama, from the previous occupant of the White House.

They don't have to love you in order for you to govern.

When the crowd turns ugly, stay away from the teleprompter. Bush disappeared for weeks at a time.

Be a decider. Show up once a week and call the GOP a bunch of weasels for holding up the vote on the debt ceiling. Then go back to your ranch.

Never get in a public debate with someone beneath you. Never argue publically with the House of Representatives. That what your vice-president is for.

Keep saying the economy is doing well. Bush must have said it a hundred times his second term. And when you lie, be sure and put a little spit on the end of it, directed at the opposing party. Call em the Repub party or something, to disparage them.

Get somebody who knows how those voting machines work.

Convince the voters there is no changing directions, and that their only choice is to find someone who can do this job better than you can, not differently, better.

Mr Prez you have most of the Bush package, GITMO, the shadowy security state, empty prisons waiting for protestors, active military units on duty in the US. You just don't have the spirit of the thing. Just stand up there and say, I know yall hate me, cause I'm doing a tough job..

and if you think I'm not doing very well wait until you see the next guy

Obama can only give one message:

"Our wonderful programs are just beginning to take effect.  We will see glory come our way.  Stay the course."

Oh God.

This farce reminds me of the time Greenspan asked a minion how the market closed on Black Monday 1987"down five "O" 4 points","oh,not too bad then --5 points","no sir that was five hundred and four points".

How long before Barry O'Barma has another flash crash on his watch?

 You can't blame the man for what Clinton and Bush did.

 

 He inherited a broke jobless country.

 

 If he really wanted to reverse things he'd

 ban immigrant labor, ban 'outsourcing' ,

 ban cheap imports. Oh wait, that was

 the job Congress was strictly charged with

 performing under the constitution.

 Golly Gee Whilikers, I wonder why Congress

 did the exact opposite.

I am completely underwhelmed.  Looks like the hopium isn't strong enough anymore.  Any ideas on what to trade up to?  More-feign? Kracken? 

Maybe I should just take some ShaZamax! and sleep through the next 2 years?

"the president is now 30 minutes late. Either the guy on the 18th is taking his sweet time or the teleprompter has been hacked."

Michelle "I'll Kick Your Ass, Barry!" Robinson-Soetoro just threw the teleprompter across thre room at our hero "Bullshit" Berry, at high velocity smashing it against a James Monroe era hutch...

CREEP aides (Committee to RE-Elect the President) are scrambling to find a replacement 'prompter... as we know what Obama Bin Lyin' looks like naked... without his vaunted 'prompter....

Not to Worry
As the teleprompter will shortly inform Barry... Revise unemployment upward the last couple of months, roll 100k or so long term unemployed into marginally attached, shrink that labor force participation rate AGAIN (SOP)... and unemployment will be back to 8.9%...

...come on, this is Rosemary's Baby and you know it. This President is the White Black Muslim Christian that nobody can deny, that nobody can deny, and the host of Lucifer. Watch, this moron will be the one to sign the prophetic false peace, even the occult masonic morons are calling for it to be timed with their stupid pyramid 2012 timing bullshit.

Three years of Obama has given us:
- $14 trillion deficit
- ruined economy?
- gas/food/clothing prices skyrocketing
- 5 wars, one with a record death toll
- foreign policy disasters?
- raiding the public pension fund to avoid the debt ceiling?
- lost 800+ seats for his own party
- poll numbers in the toilet
- 44 million Americans on food stamps?
- 1 in 4 mortgages under water
- ATF gunrunning scandal unfolding

ANYBODY BUT OBAMA!
