President Obama To Sermonize On Unspeakable Sequester Evil - Live Webcast
We suspect that if one combines all the most apocalyptic scenes from 'Day After Tomorrow', 'Armageddon', 'Planet of the Apes', and '2012', then President Obama's address (scheduled for 1045ET) on the impact of the sequester will come close. Of course, he could merely comment on the fact that we need to cut spending (not slow spending growth) in order to revert to sustainability but we suspect this is not 'silver linings playbook'. Young children and pets should probably be removed from the room as our leader explains just how cataclysmic things are going to get unless we all just get along... As a gentle reminder, here is the very same President threatening to veto any effort to stop spending cuts - oh well, it seems there really are no easy off-ramps.
As a reminder:
"I will veto any effort to get rid of the automatic spending cuts... No easy off-ramps on this one. We need to keep the pressure up to compromise. Not turn off the pressure. Only way the spending cuts will not take place is if congress gets back to work and agrees on a balanced plan to reduce the deficit by at least $1.2 trillion. That is what they need to do. That’s the job they promise to do"
- Barack Obama, November 21, 2011
Fast forward to....
With our economy poised to continue to strengthen this year, the President will make clear that we can’t see another self-inflicted wound from Washington. The President will urge Congress to come together and act to ensure these devastating cuts to defense and job-creating programs don’t take effect.
- White House statement, February 5, 2013
.... and
"The threat of massive automatic cuts have already started to affect business decisions. Deep indiscriminate cuts to things like education and training, energy and national security, will cost us jobs and it will slow down our recovery.... It’s not the right thing to do for the economy, it’s not the right thing for folks who are out there still looking for work. And the good news is this doesn’t have to happen.... [Congress] should at least pass a smaller package of spending cuts and tax reforms that would delay the economically damaging effects of the sequester for a few more months until Congress finds a way to replace these cuts with a smarter solution.

Says the President who demonized Bush for his excessive spending and continual raising of the debt ceiling.
Prepared text of Barack Obamney's speech:
Up His. And up Congress'. Automatic sequesters appear to be the ONLY way to cut (growth of) spending. America got what they wanted when they chose Him, or so they think. Not my president, not my Congress, not my banksters.
All bullshit, using the jobs mantra. Sequester hurts job creation, really??? Naw, i know what it hurts..
A little bit of P-A-N-I-C in there today.
Boehner, stand ground, there's fixing to be an asshole pointed straight to the sun.
Stand ground?
The GOP is as much at fault for the can kicking as anyone.
This feckless boob Obama was a truly hideous choice for an executive position, a choice we will pay for for decades, if not in blood.
This is just Obama's way of deflecting any and all responsibility away from himself for the effects of the sequestration and on to others, whom ever those others may be.
It's interesting how cuts to GOVERNMENT are construed as hurting the economy. This is real 'plantation' thinking.
$85 billion in cuts is one month of QE. It's navel lint. They need to talk at least a couple $Trillion for any 'recovery' allusion to be less than glib.
"Failed presidency" was in the bag regardless of whoever took office.
It's so UNNECESSARY.
Plantation thinking indeed.
Whether a defense contractor that lives or dies on making essentially wealth-destroying (and pollticially destabilizing, in many cases) products in 100% government-funded contractual batches, or the now 4th generation welfare-dependent children somewhere in America (which means that their great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, and now they have all received welfare)...
....plantation thinking indeed.
It's Boehner's asshole that's been pointed up for Obama to abuse.
It's one big circle jerk and you're not in it!
Nailed Boehner!
No worries..
"We will just do tough cuts on the rates of increases and we will decrease the deficit by over a trillion dollars within the course of the next ten years. We need not worry about the fact that there will be no savings left in the country and the total of all debt and derivatives will balloon to well over a quadrillion dollars because I will be safely ensconced in my Hawaiian beach and golf compound. "
Obama is a cunt.
That is all...
Yep, Boner has been proven to be the chump. Wonder if he's gonna cry again?
Nice photo op with the men and women in blue behind him, but what does that have anything to do with kicking the can down the road?
Pretty soon photo ops willmean less than zero...
Na, people buy the photo ops. They buy that Bernanke knows what he is doing because he has a PhD and "studied" the Great Depression. They buy Obama because he went to Columbia and Harvard, he was a "community" organizer, and he is just so nice.
Yes, he is so nice because he cares. Really, he does. I mean, a community organizer CARES!
Any person serving in the military with half a brain must realize that bombing civilians around the world and keeping sea lanes open for Saudi royals has nothing to do with "defending" the USA. Any person working at NSA data centers using technology to perform illegal searches on their fellow citizens are sick jerks. Federal spending cuts can't happen soon enough.
1/2 the Sequester is DoD and 1/2 is domestic discretionary.
IT'S 85 lousy billion dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's all!! Out of 1.1T of deficit and they are having a hissy fit.
They all agreed to this. It is INSIGNIFICANT to the total and they are throwing panic attacks. What in the FUCK do they think is going to fix this if they don't have some pain?
Nah, but we are defending Europe's access to oil, China's shipping lanes, Japan's fishing waters. The U.S. could quasi-annex Alberta and drill baby drill for all the oil and gas we may need, but Obama doesn't like Americans living well. Gotta create more dependency and crisis, bring us down.
If he is so popular why do the have to disarm them cops? Maybe the first family dog is running around and we all know cops are imprinted to shoot ALL loose dogs, yea, that's it.
Who says the dogs have to be loose?
Take a bloody mary shot every time he says "vital services"
Tell the teleprompter to just toss out any number & then DIVIDE BY ZERO... That oughtta work...
I am pleased to be the first to "+ 1" you.
That math works for him. Of course, he uses a different calculator than most of us do.
Time to eat your peas Barry.
He wants a hamburger... no ~ a cheeseburger, he wants a hot dog, he wants potato chips...

"You'll get nothing, and like it!" Oh, if that statement would just be true concerning 0zer0.
Take a vodka shot every time he says "folks"
Vodka? No my friend, you need to follow his constituent base to achieve the level of chemical belief suspension and go straight to huffing gold spray paint.
You didn't drink that.
Preferably from a big plastic bottle of Popov. Don't even pour a fukin shot. Just suck it right outta the bottle. fuk it.
President Obama seems to be laboring under the delusion that people actually believe what he says anymore. Curious...how far down one's own rabbit hole a fellow can tumble.
Obama is the new Adam Lanza.
Psychopaths say the darndest things.
Socio-path. Socio. Obama is not delusional. He intends to take the western world down quite a few notches.
He swore to on hist father's grave, according to his TWO autobiographies. You can hear it in his own voice, in the audiobook format, which is obamaphiliac-friendly. A lot of them don't read good.
I contemplated sociopath, and then I remembered the drone strikes.
I am thinking of the DSM type definition. Obama is not delusional. He knows he is taking down the US and the former colonial powers of the developed world by allowing Congress to expand spending and debt. As to drone strikes this isn't the first president who has presided over US controlled assets or proxies killing FOREIGNERS. It is the 45th president who has done so, and I'm OK with that for the most part. There is no such thing as international law and the UN is a horrible joke, as is national sovereignty...OTHER nations's sovereignty that is to say.

Don't forget fiat for the the public sector unions, the UAW, SNAP folks, "disabled" people prematurely receiving socialist insecurity checks, and so many others!
...and forget also the articles, that outed me back in 2004
Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

over /under on his cpt to start....i will take 11:05
Mr. President if Washington DC is manufacturing these problems why then are you asking us to rely on Washington to solve the very problems they create?
Veto threats in virtually the same breath he says he wants to compromise.
That's the ticket to make things happen.
The repubs will send a "fix" legislation that he will veto, auto-cuts go into effect March 1st. Bank it!
his lips are moving ..............
Taxes... no spending cuts... good thing.... WTF!!! IF HE TALKS LIKE THAT 99% OF THE LEMMINGS WILL THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING!!!
It is obvious that (1) he is high, literally, and (2) the speech was prepared for him by the military-contractor-financial-industrial complex. FTEs will be protected at all costs. Departments have plans to deal with sequestration which involve saving FTEs and cutting travel, office, and ... contractors. That last one is why Obama was told to read this speech. The Emperor has no clothes.
Sometime in the next couple of weeks, be on the lookout for a false flag that "invalidates" the auto-cuts to defense. Because it'll be an "emergency".
The con man continues to campaign and not govern. This time campaigning against his own policy enacted proposal. Unreal.
Go ahead and try to point that out to his supporters. Point out how this WAS Obama's policy proposal just a year ago. They will call you a liar.
It reminds me of trying to point out how similiar Obama was to Romney to those that supported Romney. Sigh....
People have been tripping over themselves trying to support this Marxist and time will show them as fools.
Or Conservative Libertarian Republican types that Rand Paul endorsing O'Romney was a betrayal of his father and not an act of pragmatism.
It really is 1984-ish. The doublethink that Democrats and Republicans engage in just to support their particular team is unbelievable. Cheney's "deficits don't matter" and Obama's Senate speech against raising the debt ceiling must have been relegated to the memory hole and, for all intents and purposes, never even existed.
What a bunch of pathetic assholes.
All of this is by design within our one party system. Life would be no different today under Romney or McCain. The need for credit markets to expand and the inability for them to do it on their own is baked into our system. Politics is ALL theater. Republican opposition is theater. Joe congressman from the 10 district in some random state may not realize it... but that only makes for better theater. The talking head on MSNBC or Fox News may not realize it... but that too makes for better theater. And certainly the majority of mouth breathing Americans who sport an "end this war" bumper sticker next to an Obama one... or the brain dead idiots on the right who believe we went to war with Iraq because of WMD... those idiots don't understand the theater either. Fock all of them.
All I know is that this government under Obama is not the America I grew to love.
The America you grew to love was a myth. Everyone needs to have their "fight club" scene... quick choppy flashbacks once you've been exposed to the truth. Public Education as a means to drive down labor costs by socializing child care... the banking crisis that birthed the federal reserve was engineered... Smedley Butler's observation that the US military is a thug for Wall Street... premeditated entries into WWI and WWII... we didn't need to NUKE men, women and children to end the war with Japan, the whitewashing of the JFK assassination, MK Ultra, Bay of Pigs, Gulf of Tonkin, America defaults - closing of the gold window, Ronald Reagan's handlers (speed it up ronnie.... oh... um... ok), Gulf War propaganda, Banking Modernization Act, etc, etc, etc.
This isn't what you think it is.
I figured this would be your response. So predictable.
where am I wrong, friendo? You have been given empty vessel to place all of your blame, just like the "left" was given Bush. Rinse and repeat. In the background, the real game is happening. Nobody notices.
My history goes back further than two failed presidency's. I will not make excuses for this NDAA styled Marxist.
Nobody is asking you to make excuses for anyone. If you feel that way, you should recognize it as your conditioning to believe that there are only two possible sides to this conversation. Neither faction of our one party system is remotely interested in us. Not today, not during the last election cycle... not for the last 100+ years (if ever).
That was the journey that I and many others have gone through. It is a terrible and frightening experience to have your rudder sheered off.
But once you make it through, you can see things for what they are.
I shudder thinking back to the arguments that I had where I was happily on one side of the Hegelian dialectic.
Keep up the good work. Eventually all who keep learning will come to the conclusion.
Most of our entire lives were a carefully constructed lie.
And most of that lie was done by each and every one of us every day.
My favorite line from V:
Ironic how movies show us the truth sometimes.
pods
Quoting V Pods? Earns you a drone named pods.
Such a great movie. When it came out, rank and file R's hated it... thought it was anti-Bush propaganda. If that movie were to be released today, R's would rally around it as commentary on Obama. It works perfectly for both. And the quote that Pods selected is perfect. We all own this.
"I shudder thinking back to the arguments that I had where I was happily on one side of the Hegelian dialectic."
No shit. It hurts when the truth blindsides you, and for a while you feel like the world's biggest idiot for having believed what you did in the past. But most of the pain goes away eventually, and it gets replaced by anger and a motivation to lead others toward the truth. Any pain that's left is what you feel for the people who are still lost in the darkness.
We allowed ourselves to be educated by The State. It's going to take some work to push this boulder back up the hill.
'governance' is highly overrated.......
oh i can't wait to hear this, last time he twisted reality so much he could reach the point where "more debt is paying what we owe ..."
About to give everyone the whore's bath.
I mean who really cares what this asshat has to say anymore? I mean seriously.
come on foodstamp, don't spoil the fun of it !
foodstamp, Broccoli...
Can I get a decent steak on the side with that? For free? Obamasteaks!
sure, if you are ok with horse flank
Seems Rodney Dangerfield was a prophet?
Obama Steaks certainly taste like yesterday's Ass....
Eating star fish and smokin' choom, It's what's for Dinner!
On the one hand, to just ignore him takes away all of his power. On the other hand, there are enough people who are either living in fear or greedily lapping up the parasitic lifestyle to allow Barry to do a lot of destructive mischief.
In the hidden recorded words of Mitt, the 46%!
Seriously. I have not heard anything from this cockbreath since last august. I refuse to listen to him, refuse to acknowledge him as president and fart in his general direction
then be careful with your back to the wind.... heh
I'M TELLING YOU PEOPLE!!!
WE NEED TO PUT THE BOAT ON FIRE IN ORDER TO MAKE IT GO FASTER!!!!
DO I NEED TO REMIND YOU PEOPLE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN?!?!
SD... you sound like Carnivale Cruise Lines
Pedal to the metal!
Bitchez!
I'll be back at 11am, when he actually arrives.
Got plenty of time to go to the liquor store.
Fuck you Obama,
Nobody believes you no more you pencil necked cock sucking whore of a dog.
A thorough bred cunt of a woman in a badly fitting mans suit.
Cunt.
Let us all take this time to remember that Obama is simply a puppet who takes orders from the same people that Romney would be taking orders from.
Continuity of agenda is the name of the game here bitchez. The politics we see are a sideshow to divide and conquer, the true decisions are made behind closed doors, by people we don't know.
Read it
Obama is no puppet. He is a man who can rise to meet his words, but won't.
He is star struck and loves his new found friends and benefactors.
He is a man with no balls.
"He is a man with no leadership ability."
No principles whatsoever.
Listen, maybe when "organizing" at the community level, pretty words can pass as leadership. When running the world's most powerful country, not so much. JMO (unless, of course, you're "running" it into the ground)
Community organizer = ward heeler = shoe shine boy for the big shots.
Go get your shine box Barry, they are warming up the teleprompter.
He follows his Alinksy playbook quite well, fixing targets and demonizing them, and all this to a goal, to take down the USA and the western world with it.
He swore to carry out his father's life work you know, his father the enraged failed anti-colonialist pro-third world lefty.
"Obama is simply a puppet who takes orders from the same people that Romney would be taking orders from..."
~~~
Faceless, nameless, identityless people are actually behind all this?... I was under the impression that the money just printed itself...
Man?
I would wager one on that one. Do any of you know personally know someone like this?
I dont, and if I did, I would tear the cunt a new arsehole. You see I have no time at all for liars and work shy pricks like this claimed "Man".
'Leadership' from anything close to D.C. ilk is highly fucking overrated. Stop looking for leaders, bitchez..
Keep on trying to attach the evils of an entire corruptly designed system on one man. You will find that once the men leave, the problems are not fixed. The problems tend to compound.
Are you not paying attention or do you just not recognize patterns?
FUCK ALL POLITICIANS
I'll tell you the same thing I've stated before..It doesn't fucking matter if he is a puppet or if he was democratically elected....he is still an evil bastard. His pre-election commentary, that is so conveniently buried, has all been about weakening the U. S. To ignore that fact is pure idiocy.
One man stopped tanks at Tienanmen square and for goodness sakes he still is the most powerful man in the free world who just so happens to suck at creating jobs because he is a statist.
"You will find that once the men leave, the problems are not fixed."
Oh, I think the fucking root of our problems are these men who will not allow us self-fucking-governance. Our current problems are solved the same way we solve them in our personal lives - STOP THE FUKCING SPENDING, which also means stop the fucking debasing and the end of parasitism up and down this food chain.
FUCKING. END. PLUTOCRATS.
In the mix.
I like your prose.
He will posture and position himself to make the GOP look like the bad guys, so the Dems can look better for mid-terms.
Biggest problem for the Dems in 2014 will be Obamacare. For those old enough to remember, Hillary's attempt at healthcare reform (which didn't even become law) is what caused the Dems to lose the house in 1994. Obamacare will be something Dems will have to desperately run away from ("I voted no, don't you remember?") in 2014.
That and their AWB. Let's see if they backpedal any on that one this time around.
That's a key in his Alinksy playbook. When he's not demonizing specific targets he's setting up strawman targets that don't exist to demonize. A big part of his base enjoys hating his targets.
long road ahead... hard times... WE... YOU....pay up... drop those sneakers....Bitch wife Michell....
HE'LL JUST USE ALL THE SAME OLD WORDS HE DOES EVERY TIME!!
Michelle Obama: America's fashion statement for the 21st Century...
WHOEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
It's like that movie called planet of the apes where they put clothes on that oerang!
HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
I just don't understand why everybody thinks she looks good. When I look at here, it's like a dog walking on ice with a ass you can land your beers on...
Hmm, the movie that comes to mind for me is Dr. Strangelove......with a few modifications. Obama is "Major Kong" (yes, the irony is delicious...), and instead of an atomic bomb, he's riding a giant nuclear dildo with the name "Ben Bernanke" scrawled on the side.
Stop with the wookie comments, and instead focus on things like, oh the 400K a year no-show job she received the instant Barack got elected into the Senate. Or maybe her whining. Or her ignorant totalitarian efforts in the federal food nanny business.
YES WE kicked the CAN down the road
I'm going to guess that the Fed minutes tomorrow will be more mean spirited that what we're used to. They're going to start cracking the whip at congress .. washington for that matter, to get shit under control.
I wonder if he will be bringing the flock of children this time...
after all he's only driving us into gun free debt oblivion for their sake yeah?
Children? Oh, you must have meant human shields....
Bla Bla Bla...and sheeple will follow
Bob Woodward’s "The Price of Politics" extensively covers the President's introduction of the sequester as a tool that, at the time, he thought would beat the Republicans over the head if they failed to toe his line. Even though Bob is a facetime camera whore, he is Obama's little cuckold and lacks the balls to show up and tell the world how wrong this President is when he continues to act as though he had no role in introducing the sequester strategy. Crickets will be louder than those who dare challenge the leader.
Bob Woodward is just another leftist media whore. He made his chops taking down Nixon but only because Nixon was Republican. He sucks Obama and pronounces it "journalism". He wouldn't know journalism if Maureen Dowd fucked him in his patulous out-box.
Kirk to Obama: Shall we have the Enterprise shoot a few photon torpedoes, to stir up an Alien scare, and create demand for GDP growth?
wtf?
who the hell are these guys?
puppets who symbolise "the people in uniform stand behind him".
Always look for the symbols. That's the only thing that makes speeches like that funny.
You mean he managed to take some time away from his golfing career to make a statement? I hope he doesn't get too tired. He better go on vacation after this to recuperate.
The next vaca' plans are already in the works ...
He's scheduled to appear in a reality tv show: "The Cheney Project" Cheney beats him to a pulp with a sand wedge in a greenside bunker and then drops dead of a heart attack.
Sorry only one episode.
what's with the police officers ? Martial Law announcement ?
Best way to listen to Obama - put the volume on mute...
I haven't played one of his webcasts yet.
Who would waste time listening to a known liar? What are we gonna do, hear him lie again?
I could also hit my hand with a hammer over and over again as well but I already have all the information that I need to know.
Liars lie. That is why they are called liars.
I have way more fun in the comments section anyways.
pods
After playing with Tiger all weekend, he probably feels his minions are eager to hear a refreshed sermon from Mount White House where the man at the podium can do no wrong and has the answers to all the ills plaguing the country.
And there are those who are not his minions, who are seething and frustrated to the point they no longer wish to hear the teleprompter's bullshit .
Forward KoolAid drinkers!
Yup....I figured today (Monday) would be the day the rhetoric started heating up. It's getting close, you can feel the bastards squirming knowing it's again time to deal with this issue, yet ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (again!) has been done!
You might want to check your calendar.
I can't listen to him- I feel dirty when I hear him. This is what it feels like.

Check out the market open today. Laughed my ass off, but I am sure this is all normal free market behavior.
His speech will be hilarious when the government has to cut the budget by 50% overnight when the bond market says NO MORE BITCHEZ!
Did the military make a new teleprompter for him?
Look at all the cops. Push the gun control meme in 5. 4. 3...
Indeed. And just imagine what bad things the former Land of The Free would have said about the Soviet and other East Bloc leaders, if they had cops all around them during speeches? I guess he learned well. /sarc.

If sequester goes through he'll only be able to play 16 holes of golf next vacation.
"Planet of the Apes"!?!?! You RAYCIS!!!
I think the first round of so-called 'cuts', is $85 Billion. Uncle Sammy spends $10 Billion a day.
So, Obummer is trying to argue against 9 days of spending cuts.
Unreal..........right now, as I watch, he's lying through his teeth

"balanced", "recovery", "not kicking the can down the road", he said it all, as usual !
