Obama To Admit Defeat (Or Apportion Blame) - Live Webcast
At 11:35ET, President Obama will address the nation over how well the sequestration discussions are going. Following this morning's rumor-driven ramp, and Boehner's very recent comments that "discussions are over", we await the President's calming tones or hell-fire conjuring warnings... the question is - how many park rangers will be standing behind the President?

5 years into this shitstorm and 'we need to come up with a plan'?
Jesus H. Christ on a popsickle stick....PLEASE just let this shitcastle collapse so we MIGHT be able to somehow save ourselves!
Let's review....4+ years in office; what has Obomber accomplished?
Let's review....4+ years in office; what has Obomber accomplished?
He accomplished the "+"...he got re-elected. Nothing else matters to him.
obama is such a tool......
he WANTS this sequester.....it's his Perma-Excuse....for ANYTHING that goes wrong going forward.
such a bad person....that many dont see it is what's shocking.
Why do they call it revenue? Companies have revenue when consumers buy products. The should call it STEALING OUR MONEY!!!
I'd like to know that too. How did the word taxes change seemingly overnight to revenue? Did tht come along with the Obama administration or was it in Ws?
just remember, no matter what happens, it is not his fault.
blame bush or congress, its never this fuckers fault.
how the fuck did this guy get into politics, let alone fucking president of the united fucking states of fucking america????
Way too irritating to listen to the lies and fear-mongering of our Commander-in-Cheek
'We need to keep in mind who we're here for! American middle class families!'
No, it's all for a few ultra elite banking families you LIAR!
What a rambler, good Lord, it turns into the Charlie Brown grownup talk after the first sentence (but he's not a grownup).
"Mah-mwah ma-wah mum-wah-wuh-wah..."
damn i hate this guy he's such a liar and an asshole !!!!
please don't tell me some people do believe what he says !
Bad news - more than 50% nod their heads in agreement when this lying sack of shit speaks.
Blaim, Blaim Blaim,
He is so fucking high right now.
Now he's channeling Bartlett from the West Wing. wtf?!?
Dear Leader asking reporters for 'suggestions'?
Oh my fuck!
Seppuku
Here's what you could do.........resign.
Yeah, if the Pope can do it the Dope can do it
What a poor leader. Stop with the democrat and republican stuff. Deal with the information you have and lead....
David axelrod, Obama and the Chicago political Machine are running the country now.
Illinois is in deep financial trouble, want a clue on the financial future of the US?
Chairman Obama seems to NEVER stop campaining. Someone in the press corp should remind him he won the election. The fact that any american buys into his fear mongering nonsense is a testament to the stupidity of the average citizen. I'm living with a 2% reduction in my income thanks to this blowhard. The government can do the same!
'Uhhh...we...uhhhhh....congress....abide by....uhhhh....resolution details....uhh $1.5 trillion 'deal'....uhhhhh ...congress' fault....american families....american people.....economy BLHA BLHH BLAH...'
The adoring, banana republic propaganda machine, posing as an objective press will never call his stammering ass out.
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/kenya-half-brother-obama-r...
this is our fucking presidents half brother running in kenya. but ya, he was born in the u.s and is not a muslim. ok whatever u say media.
I am not a dick
how he can say "the american people are with me"... it just blows me away his arrogance...
"congress will catch up" .... turd...
"people agree, I am being reasonable"... what people, the press corps???
"I'm not a dictator, I'm the president."
COULD'A FOOLED ME MR. N.D.A.A. DRONER IN CHIEF!!!!
What a smart man on a wonderful day!
Our president uses poorly constructed pop-cinema references to explain himself. How brilliant.
IF he grew his hair out and used obscure rock n roll lyrics he could be called bart chilton jr, instead of frank marshall davis jr.
Bart is one of the good guys
Jedi Mind Meld?
Is that like a Vulcan Force Grip?
Would have to be a Vulcan Jedi.
The Ewoks would be better leaders, God save us!
yub yub, bitchez!
Bantha Poodoo!
the press just rolls over......what a shame.
get prepared people...the country is lost to Statism.
LOL...he actually just said 'Jedi secret sauce'?
What in the FUCK??
Jedi Secet Sauce - Ask Moochele
Thank God you have Berri, the hero. If it wasn't for him the republican's would spray their secret sauce on the USA and not pay the bills they promised to pay and starve grandma.
Nice concession speech, Berri. lol..
"Jedi mind-meld"
Jesus, he even mixes his Sci-Fi metaphors!
Good catch
Obama Jedi Master " This is not the $16 trillion in debt you are looking for. This is not the $1.2 trillion in deficits."
Imperial Guard (The 47%): "You right. There is not deficits or debt. Move on"
how many park rangers will be standing behind the President?
I was sure the rangers would have been dangling fluffy bunnies over a whirling taco bell meat grinder insisting that if the deal didn't go through, they'ld be forced to drop 'em in
He actually just said he needs to 'rejigger it'....oh my fuck I hope people are prepared for the coming days!
Should we feel lucky he didn't say "recracker it"?
Wigger, please!
Just as long as he does not say "we are setting Phaser on disiniggerate"
Rejigger Man!
Look -- can we not all agree that the incessant use of "look" as a meaningless verbal place holder sounds stupid?
Why, so, you know, it's like, totally!
My fellow Americans, let me make this perfectly clear (holding nose high in the air): what I find even more egregiously inane is people who rhetorically and pointlessly ask themselves questions, and then proceed to answer them.
What is the point of phrasing one's statement in the form of an answer to a self-asked question, anyway? Yes, please, do feel free to waste my time with your self-indulgent condescension.
its what you get from a Choomer in Chief I suppose...ya know hat I mean man?
I turned the volume off so I could read the comments here without listening to this mental midget ramble on....he should have stuck to the high school debate team (his mommy would be so proud of him).
Here's an idea Obama - put one single banker in jail. Maybe start with Lloyd B, then Greenspan, and once you get started you may even enjoy it.
Border Patrol agents... can they still legally ask for proof of citizenship?
"We need to do this for the children, and the widows, and the widowed border patrol agents with no Jedi neck pinch to subdue the illegals that we never deport."
This whole clown act of hiding behind kids to pass pet legislation, be it disarmament or asinine spending is getting VERY annoying. Cowards. Liars. Thiefs. Scum. .....etc......
"The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation. " -Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler
WHY CAN'T YOU FUCKING MORONS ELECT A PROPER STATESMAN INSTEAD OF THIS DICKHEAD??
Diebold?....you wanna field this one?
Hey man! We TRIED to warn people way back in 2007 about this Manchurian Candidate! Did they listen? Nooooooo he's 'The hope for america' and 'The Messiah' and all this bullshit and they all called you a 'racist' for even questioning where this mook even came from....OH WELL now let them all get bent over! I am prepared for what's coming, if they aren't then sucks to be them!!
I’m afraid that’s just not good enough. He’s YOUR dickhead, you ALL chose HIM. There was a vote, don’t pretend there wasn’t, I saw it.
WHY CAN’T YOU PICK A NASTY ANGRY BASTARD WHO CAN LEAD? INSTEAD OF SOME ATTENTION SEEKING PANDERING DICKHEAD WHO CAN’T EVEN RUN A FUCKING NEWSPAPER?
Why?
Go fuck yourself you jerkoff.
No way man.
You all got yourselves into this situation and all you do is bitch about it.
Get out there.
"you ALL chose HIM"
Bullshit.
It's not bullshit. It's YOUR system. A system which you have NOT changed.
You have a two party system where the winner takes all, if you participate you are part of that selection process. You helped choose him.
Herp-a-derp-a-doo!
Flail more Gully Crocket.
The Solution from the Marlboro Man... Smoke Reds. Lights and Camels are for pussies.
What an absolute farce................THE EMPERER HAS NO CLOTHES!
What IS scary is Dear Leader is actually saying we're now going to be feeling a big pinch?
Here it comes folks! I hope everyone has their teflon ass covers strapped on tite!
So Obama is telling you the economic data is going to bad and they are still buying the market!
APPARENTLY he is admitting we're screwed in the coming months! Idiot equity markets obliviously chug higher! :D
You taking a pay cut are you Skeeter?
Give the President a pay cut, why just make the cleaning help suffer?
off on a tangent.... Ask something that I can look presidential on...
March Madness?
Bracketology?
obama speaks, markets keep going green.
boy o boy, he basically fucking said how ppl will be hurt, economy will slow, yet the algos go up and up. i give up. i am just going to laugh now at the joke the ''stock market'' is
"The janitors, the orphans polishing shoes, the toothless widow of a Vietnam veteran with dyslexia working at the U.S. Mint, the..."
This spring/summer is gonna be hellfire in the streets.
Exactly by the playbook...now there is an excuse for the economy to tank and the Repubs are to blame. I am so sick of this crap. It's $85 billion...we just added $150 billion in expiring payroll tax on Jan 1 and another $600 billion in raising taxes on wealthy. What happened to that money? And, these aren't cuts, they are reductions in the increase from last year. In other words, if a kid was getting $10/week as an allowance and then asked for $20 and his parents decided on $15, he thinks that is a cut in his allowance. What a joke.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says Americans will get through the automatic spending cuts kicking in Friday.
Obama says the nation shouldn't be making "dumb and arbitrary" cuts. He says Republicans have allowed the cuts to happen.
Obama stays he still believes the cuts can be replaced, but he wants a deal that includes more taxes.
He says as long as the cuts stay in effect, Americans will know that the economy could have been better had they been averted.
Obama spoke after a meeting with congressional leaders that yielded no immediate results.
$85 billion is an interesting number is it not?
Isn't this the SAME number that the Fed is currently funneling, every fucking month?
This delusional rant definitely needs a word cloud Tyler... Totus has obviously cracked his teleprompter.
Same sex marriage now? What a ridiculous distraction! Let them have their marriage. Right along with divorce, alimony, child support etc. Why are we even talking about this with the real problems this country faces. Douchebag!!!!
I dunno, given the sheeple I've observed lately arguing about sequestration, might as well direct them back to something everyone has a definite opinion on.
Cuz I just wanna slap some tools who are suddenly concerned about finance and economics in such a trivial fashion.
'Gay marriage' questions now? It's over.
And Binny, make sure you keep the markets green while I's a speakin.
Marrige is a Rite.
I have always thought so.
Good grief.......gay marraige again......in the middle of this...............does he have a thing for Holder or what?
Rahm, duh.
Reggie Love put him up to it
Pardon me while I go perform some PRIMAL FUCKING SCREAM therapy.
edit: Roads and bridges again!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Thought they already did all that.......
The shovel industry is saved! ...again!
Primal Scream - Loaded
Same-sex marriage questions? Here? Unbelievable
What's that word for the feeling I get when I see that numerous dipshits who voted for Obama for the second time now take a financial hit in the tens of thousands range per person?
Oh that's right, the word is schadenfreude.
All you can do is laugh. To take him seriously anymore is just futile.
Resistance is futile! He doesn't have the Jedi mind-meld, but he has the Borg neck-pinch! Wait...
I always like to tell any activists spouting the "Resistance is Fertile" line that yep, it's fertile all right, as you're preparing the bed where your opposition will sprout and foster.
Then I ask them how that divide and conquer strategy is working for them.
"how many park rangers will be standing behind the President?"
And how many defense contractors will be standing behind Boehner?
Ah, I see there's a MIC supporter lurking... both fucking clown camps support Statism, ignoramus!
Surely by defense contractors you meant "private sector entrepreneurs."
Yeah, wink, wink!
Funny how party pussies tend to hide and fire off shots. Hypocrites are the worst...
As stated, same cocksucking going on with the GOP.
An economist at the Stanford University-based Hoover Institution — no left-wing think tank — says provincial politicians must share the blame.
David Henderson noted the example of House Speaker John Boehner pushing for an alternate engine for the F-35 joint strike fighter over the objections of (then) Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who called it “a waste of nearly $3 billion.”
Yet Boehner continued to push because the engine’s manufacturer had about 1,000 employees working on the engine in a facility near his home base of Cincinnati at the time.
Deathstar construction time! Recruiting for the Gay Stormtrooper Legion of Sparta! Jedi mind-meld training funds! Brown-shirt choom legion of legal illegal immigrants! Melt all the guns for the zapping dish!
Deficit reduction is not an economic policy?
What? The? Fuck?
Oddly when asked, Biden will state that adding 85 Billion to the budget the size of the US it is statistically insignificant however we are now told that subtracting 85 billion is economic armageddon. Hmmm....
We "can't" subtract $85 billion because that's what the Fed "needs!" (on a fucking monthly basis!)
Roads and bridges.....shovel ready...........ground hog day.
Yeah, it's like the farmer who says that he's suffering loses but hopes to make up for it in volume...
Like we need MORE unsustainable infrastructure?!
The Dear Leader is the opposite of Harry Truman. The buck definitely never stops with Obama.
NAH! In fact, he doesn't even have anything to do with ANY of this! He's kinda just 'some guy' observing things or whatever.
"He's kinda just 'some guy' observing things or whatever. "
Think he sees the strings?
He seen a bridge! And it was BAD!
Yea you fuckin idiot...while you've spent 5 years bailing out your puppet masters, the country's infrastructure IS SHIT!
YOU are the president! It's NOT 'someone elses fault' you ass-puppet!
Nothing like the moon over Paradore, Dog.
He really thinks he is, what the press portrays him to be.
"He really thinks he is, what the press portrays him to be."
No, he IS what his puppet masters tells him he is. The "press" only goes along with the game, because, well... because the puppet masters OWN the "press!"
This is another "they hate our freedoms" propaganda sales job. Theatre of the absurd. Anyone expecting anything else just doesn't understand POWER...
So basically, the 'elite' will be just fine, but everyone else is fucked, and Dear Leader says 'Thats a shame'.
Satan runs america truly!
The problem is that people expect there to be leaders. News flash: sheep herders have an END in mind, and it's not something that any "aware" sheep would knowingly sign on to..
Now that's a good one. Our politicians do have an end in mind but it has nothing to do with the people they are supposed to serve but instead the maintaining of power and the payback to the machines that allowed them to be placed into that power. Of course that has zero to do with leadership.
The entire notion of "leadership" is a built-in and needs to be jettisoned. WTF do people need to be "lead?" This is just an extension of the religious institutions (which are full of the same power plays, only instead of the people being led to believe they have a say in who shackles them only a handful of players make the decisions... oh, WAIT!)
As soon as you have a "leader" you have someone who is more equal than you. This guarantees a master+slave arrangement.
When I was just a tadpole I had this epiphany(?) that I didn't want to be a "leader," that instead, I would be a "guider." "Leaders" require leashes...
Again, excellent point. Reminds me a little of the Sam Jackson Pulp Fiction monolgue just before he popped a cap in someone ass.
But most people have some sick need to be led. They need to be told what to do and they do not want to know any of the bad shit in the world. They would prefer to leave it to the others and not be bothered. Or at least that's what I observe. Doesn't mean I'm right.
At the :54 mark I exited. Truly spent too long giving this idiot one more chance. Shortly thereafter I scratched my ass,,,it was time better spent.
Are you that desperate that you'd actually think that there was something of value in watching this?
I didn't bother to spend a single second.
As you concluded, however, there are much better things to do than to partake in the circus (and good on you for realizing it).
BTW - I'm here (in this thread) because I like ferreting out Party Pussies...
Forget Michele. Rod Serling will appear at the end of this one.
What in the fuck happened to the media in this country? Unfucking believable.
Really, if the media just did their jobs instead of propagandizing there might be some hope of getting something accomplished.
Just like USSR....they had elections and media too, and a constitution that had more freedoms than any other.
Turn off the TV, cancel newspaper, don't spend time on Facebook etc, and come to websites like ZH for info. (but always be prepared to look elsewhere since ZH could become Bloomberg if ya know what I mean).
"if the media just did their jobs instead of propagandizing"
You really ought to learn more about history. The "media" has ALWAYS been owned and controlled by big POWER; it has ALWAYS been about spreading propaganda.
I just don't understand why people think they have to "fix" something so that that "something" can tell them what they already know. Like I NEED POWER to tell me that they don't give a fuck about anything other than themselves and that they intend to maintain their power at any cost? and I underwrite their power by "voting" or paying for their goods and services through which they brainwash everyone into thinking that we need to help them maintain their positions of power/control?
Bang head. Complain. Bang head...
Good riddance. Go back to your "gay porn".
Everything matures....
Boy do I miss the days when ZH wasn't full of haters.
Maybe you shouldn't have voted for Obama then?
And you voted for? (not that it should be of anyone's business, but I didn't vote for any of the clowns- I don't support the circus)
I don't agree with the "ZH is full of haters" statement. I also don't agree with childish retorts, name-calling etc...
Vote? What, you mean give these rotting establishments my own personal blessing? Um....
Good! We're on the same page :-) (but, don't pre-suppose that the person you responded to supports the System either- people sometimes suppose this of me when I "appear" to defend one of these clowns [which I never do- what I DO, however, is to defend LOGIC and REASON- if a clown speaks LOGIC or REASON then I will defend IT, not THEM])
Perhaps you should be asking yourself, "Why is ZH full of haters?"
There's a lot more to hate now.
Thank God it's over!
I'm pretty sure he said a whole lot of nothing, and lost support from Star Wars and Star Trek fans.
He gained some support among the Janitors though, except the ones so pissed off about the 2% hike in S.S. taxes that they are going to REALLY wax those hallways in the White House, and the stairs and stair railings.
Well, so much for presidential leadership.
that's funny! More appropriate in the 1930's though....nowadays it is an oxymoron.
What a douche bag. He'll probably drone the Bridge between Kentucky and Ohio and blame it on Bush.
Geez, I hope he waits until next week. We're going to Lexington to visit family. I would hate to use the bridge in Madison IN!!
Job Description for Pastor in Chief;
Have tinkly piano music playing in background each time you speak publicly. Tinkly piano music in any US news report signifies extreme profundity.
Alternately channel Morgan Freeman in Deep Impact and Tommy Lee Jones in MiB to achieve right mix of gravitas and folksy charm.
After you have read the words on the piece of paper go to the nearest scenic spot for picture of you and Michelle in love.
So Obummer runs around trying to scare the shit out of everybody, now he says the sequester won't be a disaster and the press asks him about gay marriage....unfucking believavble.
But, it's ALL for the kids!
Michelle can pick an Oscar but Barack is the director. If America will go to new lows we have our winner.
Herbert Marcuse of the infamous Frankfurt School of Western Marxist critical theory and founder of the New Left said that the youth of America would be disarmed through a combination of sex and drugs, etc., and would become happy, non-productive people who wouldn’t fight wars, and would be left with a tolerance that accepts “anything from the left, but silences the right.”
So why not a big push for homosexuality and gay marriage with adoption rights?
According to a recent critic, the late Marcuse believed that “Revolution would not come from Russian soldiers hitting the beach in New Jersey, but from hippies getting high and fornicating.
“Stoned hippies make lousy soldiers and will not oppose your aggression elsewhere throughout the globe.”
Why do our government and media employ people like Marcuse? Well, if the ultimate goal is control, “you can neutralize the best and brightest on the campuses (with the poisoned candy of drugs and sex packaged in an attractive musical coating) so they don’t really think about what you are doing.
“There will still be plenty of poor and uneducated people to use as cannon fodder.”
Thus Obama's and the media's elevation of homosexuality to star rank in America while knighted Sir Elton in England performs “a song before the royals called ‘It’s A Shame’ which lamented that the age of consent was too high…the male dancers performing in cub scout uniforms…"
The outcry? Zilch.
Who cares about any of this? It's a cut on the spending increase this year. There are no actual cuts to spending. The debt ceiling will be raised, without question, YoY until the interest payments on the debt consume all tax revenue.
And, really, isn't the real proof to be seen on what the Fed is doing? and they're "printing" $85 billion EVERY FUCKING MONTH?
I stopped listening to his mendaciousness long ago. I only hope for a meteor strike now.
As defined by Derrick Jensen and an audience of his, hope is:
"a longing for a future condition over which you have no agency."
When a man cuts you off from your country, he is not your president.
"your country?"
Do you still physically reside at the same location as before you were "cut off?"
Or, is this metaphorical? Perhaps we're putting too much on this virtual notion that is "country?"
I live out "in the country." Is this the same? I still see the same neighbors. I'm still endeavoring to do more and be more self-sufficient. Should I refrain in order to save our "country?"
Frankly, you can do whatever you want. As for me, there’s a clause in the U.S. Constitution that gives me the right to keep and bear arms. The Founders put that in so that a man would always have a gun to defend his home, his liberty, and his country.
If Americans have to fight to keep what's rightfully theirs, if we have to die for what we believe in in defense of our homes, our families and our country, so be it.
As for Obama’s “fine words” and his use of drones and Israeli-style assassinations and deliberate third world immigration and tyrannical power to overcome the sovereignty and civil and property rights of Americans in this nation that whipped the cream of the British regulars at Concord, R.W. Emerson has a few fine words:
“I laid my bones to, and drudged for the good I possess; it was not got by fraud, nor by luck, but by work, and you must show me a warrant like these stubborn facts in your own fidelity and labor before I suffer you, on the faith of a few fine words, to ride into my estate, and claim to scatter it as your own.” (“The Conservative,” 1841)
Well JR, you should recite that in the name of Geronimo and his own, who were wrongfully robbed of their inalienable rights by those with the Winchesters. The rule of "do unto others" is forever transgressed by the so called 'self righteous'.
Might is right is never a recipe for civilisation, either at the top of the heap or at the bottom. Its the road to perpetual war and absence of real "Concord"; a place that we ALL call our favourite home of the brave.
Somewhere along the line the citizen has to realise his best weapon is not the gun but his faith in rule of law and use of his vote. Its only when these two aspects of civilization disappear that the rule of the gun by the people becomes legitimate.
We are not there in the USA, even today; if only the people expressed their voting rights massively, by electing honest people.
