Obama Speaks Again
No, it isn't the first time Obama has spoken on the Fiscal Cliff, and more importantly, the debt ceiling, which no matter what happens today appears set to remain unresolved as part of today's 60 day stopgap deal, if indeed one materializes. It won't be the last. There will be, however, much hope, optimism, and scapegoating, as always.
As a reminder, here are the rules of the drinking game - every time someone, in this case Obama, says:
- "optimistic", do 1 shot;
- "not optimistic" - 2 shots;
- "cautiously optimistic" - 3 shots;
- "guardedly optimistic" - 4 shots;
- "encouraged" - 5 shots
- "hopeful" - 10 shots
- "fair" - 15 shots
- And, naturally, "Bush's fault" - chug

Champagne tonight, BITCHEZ!!!!
I only make $399,999 per year!
Yeah...
And Mr.Smith and Mrs Smith both make $399,999.99 and file separately, Bitchez
Can we hear Garbo talk instead?
Let the Reindeer Games commence!
Hark, the gilded bullshit flies, fa la la la la, la la la la!

"We are going to solve this problem in steps. "
Translation: We haven't done our job (even though I just gave everyone raises) so we are going kick the can down the road again. Only seeing as we have pretty much run out of road, each time we kick the can, it will not go quite as far. "
What a joke.
Each time they kick the can its weight doubles, while the boot gets smaller. One day that can is going to be the one doing the kicking. That's why we "prep" with guns, grub and gold (silver).
Who knew that Zeno would still be relevant in today's economics?
Translation:

Like yours better! Just fired my political translator.
In KronyKomradeKapitalism, Fiscal Cliff Tosses You Off Ledge!
I'm literally board out of my skull with the repetitive talking points. I can see his lips moving but I know nothing new under the Sun is coming out of his mouth. That's why I have the TV on mute and am listening to Alex Jones internet radio during BO's speech. Only 10 hours till hopelessness, can't come soon enough.
TruthInSunshine said:
Indeed it is. It leads me to wonder what this lavish production of The Cankicker Suite is supposed to divert our attention away from.
I can't believe the market is holding gains listening to this bullshit!
I'm not joke that's the HARD SCRABBLE LIFE!!!
You can only bathe in Cristal like...twice a week! The fucking HORROR!!!
How am I going to get by???
Let's see...what's the average salary on Wall Street / Manhattan / DC lobbyist....OH MY. That's coincidental.
no shots for "framework"? really?
Yeah...
And Mr. and Mrs. Shark lost all their income in a tragic boating accident.
I am very sorry to hear that you and yours suffered something similar to what has happened to Mr. & Mrs. Bearing. Well, so it goes, such is life.
Oh, you wrote INCOME! Well, that too... Very sorry, Messrs. at .gov. I mean that sincerely.
Phew! Obama JUST finished. I am starting to feel better already!
I have noticed the people who buy into this bullshit, have a different/weird look about them hard to explain. Might be a gene pool thing.
Fuck no, mind control.
Monarch mind control, excess experimental pharmaceuticals of highly neurotoxic nature, RFID implants in cerebral cortex, HAARP waves and Chemtrails.
They're convinced he's not really the Anti-Christ.
And believe me, I know about this stuff.....
(drooling, sliding onto floor in puddle)
There is something the fuck wrong here....
MmmHmm: http://www.whale.to/c/eye56x5x5x5x5.jpg
Those stupid fucking idiots behind him dont have a fucking clue they are so so retarded.
That's Amerikka Folks, better get used to it.
Being used and liking it.
Probably all got a new phone for agreeing to a few minutes for special augumented wh tour...
They're just going to kick the can further down the road ....It's all Bullshit!!!!
Each kick takes more effort than the last, and doesn't go as far as the last, requiring another kick sooner than expected. This will cycle down until there is no energy left to kick the can. That process is accellerating.
Congress is not structured to make hard decisions. They do the easy decisions like national eyeball cancer awareness day and saying yes to all spending. Without any Constitutuoonal limits on power and spending and taxing they will continue on this path.
So, fire, smoke, heat, bluster, hand wringing, tense sound bites, etc.; it is all cheap theater and means nothing. The curves will go exponential and we will collapse as the political class dithers.
Nothing will be solved as the US slides down to the steaming cesspool in the valley.

Kick the can. bitches.
I wish one of those reporters had the balls to ask this douche bag "who is making all the money off the US debt?" and a follow up question: "Why should a private bank make billions of dollars a year from US debt?" and then a final question: "Do taxpayers even know that a huge portion of their taxes go to a private bank to pay the interest on the debt?"
No Fed, no debt.
I don't feel bad for the rich.
I'm into class warfare.
They ought to pay more.

I am going to shoot beer for this one. I gotta go to a party later on after all!!
Go Bills!
I hope they are good again within my lifetime. Today was a first step.
:)
Damn, I will have to keep track. Can't do that many shots at work!
pods
One of the lucky ones.
I can't because I can't afford booze.
don't eat your own tongue.
Hooray!
He speaks.
Marvelous.
I feel better already...
He just stopped speaking.
I feel better already!
Happy New Years, Bitchez!
Happy New Years, DoChen

This performance seems more indicitive of the situation we find ourselves in today.
Yeah that's some real crap in that there video. WTF?
(He reads the stuff they put on his teleprompter again).
Do nothing, tell people you're 'optimistic', and tread water at 10 year ago levels and believe it's 'up'....gee the people are very easy to fool.

VC At the trading station ready to hit sell on all in 4.3.2.1

The media will say he's fashionably late.
Puzzling

150, 151...hey whatever it takes.
Yes, but... says: December 31, 2012 at 12:42 pm
I think the main point is that it’s no longer a question of who’s doing it to us, why they’re doing it, or what are the means they’re employing to do it. This is all getting to be pretty standard fare now. The main question to be resolved at this point is, is there anything that can be done to stop the further shock-doctrinization of the US and the world absent the “democratic process,” which we now know has been wholly appropriated as well by the new world order.
In one sense, it’s wholly appropriate that the US get served up a full helping of its own just dessert since we were the primary pushers of this whole abomination, but then again, revenge ain’t gonna really help anything and most Americans truly were helpless and ignorant before a monstrous global theft ring that would have just squashed them anyway. And should any of us have to worry about organized crime rings at the highest levels of world power anyway? Check that last question; asked and answered.

My optimism erodes.
He's late again.
(mooch is yelling at him about the empty Count Chocula box he left her with)
(and Simon Buggerbutt the English commentator on CNBS is happy talking about gold!?!?!? WTF?)
Please kill me now. I cant take anymore.
I said PLEASE! Didnt I?
15 shots for "fair" - 2013, I barely knew thee.
Late, again.
More posturing, more b.s., then more b.s. from the "other side" of the aisle.
Wonder if he will be looking more tan from all that golfing in Hawaii over Christmas?
always late...has no respect for the people...oh...thats right....the whole bunch in DC could care less.
What's the current over/under on the DJIA closing above 13,000?
That's a PSY-OPS level!
Think about all the chatter at the parties tonight while doing jello shots?!? Just imagine it!
It's on!!
NASDAQ 3K?
We are past scapegoating phase, this is the fearmongering stage. To be followed by kick the can stage.
No fear...they have plenty of funding for DHS, 30,000 drones, invading Africa next year...all just bullshit 100% they're just working up the plan to shove a pineapple up americans ass.
Nothing chaps my ass more than the legions that think if they're less than 30 minutes late, then they're on time.
Is this asshole on time to any press conference or other manufactured crisis?
Drama
This is riveting video. 1:37pm.
"Mommy, please make it stop!!!"
will he be surrounded by regular folk when he speaks?
Not really...
They'll be a significant collection of his Reptilian Overlord Shape Shifters appearing as Normal Human Beings so as not to scare the peasantry. There to remind him that the kids and grandma are being held hostage in the kitchen about to be broiled, boiled and baked alive, respectively for the Reptile's Banquet Tonight celebrating the Ascension of the Fool the Peasantry Again Moment, who shall only be released to freedom when he says as told.
Normal?
Mark Zuckerburg's wife and other normal luminaries representing the Pinnacle of the 1% of American Business Elite. Then again, maybe I'm wrong, they've been temporarily released form Summer Reeducation Camp #7.
AAHHHHHHARRRGHHHH
Where is this piece of shit and why is he always so late?
Best speech ever!
Oh, wait. He hasn't started yet.
9 minutes and no president.
Market implosion imminent.
Finalizing his call options.
The townspeople are good distraction. +3 minutes credit.
Sell when O exits stage left.

Obama to Podium:
This is all someone elses fault. Thanks.
He walks away.
Why is this dude always late? I hate when people are late for important stuff..like their job. Is it typical or racist for me to point out the obvious here?
Yea I knew 1 guy who's philosophy on promptness for work was 'Hey! I always say you aint late till you dont show up!'
He got fired.
Could it be because he was never in the military?
This is riveting!!
Obama to podium:
I didn't create this.
He walks away.
Meeting canceled, blood clot or something like that.
Obama - I'm running for a third term. Layta.
Did anyone inform this jackass that he was supposed talk at us?
And he’s gone.. The Lyin' King
Did they just bring out the background singers?
You made me laugh again.
is he reading his script from a beach in Hawaii?
Lady in blue blouse lives in NY and drank to much soda.
How dare you diss the Surgeon General of the United States like that? Just because she's a fat slob, doesn't mean she lives in New York.
Oops, I guess I could lose a few pounds too.
Everything is up so I guess they agreed to what Wall Street told them to.
Look self imposed unity
i see a black, asian, fat chick, mexican and even a white guy !
who is this motley crew they just dragged in
Looks like a weightwatchers meeting.
Cliff bait!
A choir!
WHY ALL THE FAT CHICKS?
walmart
Must be a heavy message.
Have you not been to DC lately, my friend?
What are they, setting up a fucking choir? I am going to be sick.
These must be middle class Americans about to be saved.
Jesus. Is that a gospel choir he is going to be rapping against?
What a bunch of fat fucks; amazing how fattening the public teat can be.
People walking on stage,they all have Obozo phones
Que 'melting pot' background...
I wonder why they paraded out 14 of Obama's favorite fart sniffers??
Always one guy who has to play pocket pool while he's waiting.
Those are "regular middle class Americans" be trotted out for the dog-and-pony show????
There's only like 1 of them that's morbidly obese (the 300 lb. hottie in the blue shirt).
That is NOT the WalMart shoppers I know.
Just FYI - She's the Surgeon General of the United States...
For crying out loud, that's nearly 15 minutes late now.
DavidC

New Normal Logic, I guess
Ugh.
Right to work law
they just fire you for being late.
props in place...
Disgusting how they just herded the sheeple out onto the stage. Dumbass props.
I'd like to give Obama a shot up the ass. He's so full of it. I can't take looking at his smirks everytime he opens his lying trap.
Aren't we proud? Puking already.
Presenting....bureaucrats, who Obama just gave raises (along with Congress and all the rest of the underserving government sector).
Morons
Who the fck would clap for this guy?
It's clapping from the news media.
Khardashians.
My Hero! <tongue in cheek>
It's pointless to listen to what this douche has to say. You need only watch what he does...
'YAY!! YAY!! WHEEEE!!' '
WOW its a fukin party up there!
I gave him 30 seconds. Go Vandy!
Is that the kitchen staff standing behind him? Or did he just drag these idiots off the street?
They are teachers on break.
easy on teachers!! 44 years in east harlem=earned my riches!
He's giving all the Congress Critters time to call their brokers and go short (with leverage) before he announces the talks have stalled...
NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!... NEXT!
he is hopeful!!!! 10 shots, were fucked.
America really is the laughing stock of the World.
They keep spouting bullshit like 'greatest nation on Earth'...REALLY??!!!
OH! So 'the deal' is you'll get your taxes raised, unless ANOTHER 'deal' can be made?
FUCK U OBAMAO! And your DHS, 30,000 armed drones, TSA, and all the bullshit you spew!
Don't forget the billion plus rounds of hollow point .40 cal DHS ammo.
Everybody gets everything they want. It's like a dream come true.
Pedro: Vote for me and your wildest dreams will come true.
--Napoleon Dynamite.
It's not done and I'm here to remind you of that.
I repeat, it's not done.
Shiver in fear, children.
It's OK, kids, just hit the alcohol and opiates extra hard tonight, pretend you've reason to celebrate, and don't forget, there are plenty of other taxes coming into effect this year, so we haven't forgotten about you... for you to have the opportunity to pay your fair fucking share, assholes.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah
It's gonna be very difficult to have any joy tonight watching Dick Clark's corpse being thrown off the roof of that 5 story building on Times Square
More horseshit green energy crap............. When is the downgrade?
Love FEST !
Algos confused.
I'm confused every time I try to listen to this man.
Tuition tax credits that will never be paid back. More Unemployment for the freeloaders that voted for Obama. Some have received 99 weeks and he wants to extend it another year. WTF.
