The President will take questions from the White House reporters at 1030ET. Will he mention the equity market at all-time highs? The strength of the housing market? The 'rising' unemployment rate? The 'falling' macro economy?Or, just as we saw with Consumer Confidence, a lot of 'hope'...

The Virtual Fireside Chat
It's the perfect icing to our "virtual" world. Virtual discussions, virtual rights, virtual economies, fuck virtual wars, a virtual leader and, best of all, our virtual future.
From the peanut gallery..
Who’s your daddy?
and.. how many layers does it take to post a fake birth document?
Who is your daddy, and what does he do?
Did Obama just say US faces danger from "self-radicalized" Americans? That one statement portends what his diabolical plan is for further usurpation of our inalienable rights.
AlaricBalth: +1
Chaos is good for statists like him.....they have the only solution in town (for many).
he prefers "corporate-radicalized"
It worked for the High Court
Don't you mean "The Company?"
>>self-radicalized
Indeed he did. A new orwellien term to ponder. he also suggested that these individuals might not be connected to any organization... gee, i wonder where this is going...
"Self-radicalized". Because, you know, Islam had nothing to do with it.
Here's something radical there TOTUS, follow your job description or get your fucking shinebox!
pods
ques: who is john gault?
If there is a diabolical plan, it isn't this moron's. This guy couldn't manage a lemonade stand.
On the other hand, if he was managing the destruction of the lemonade stand, then he'd do fucking fantastic.
Yeah, and his terror tuesday's meetings have absolutely no bearing on radicalizing them thar "brown" people because they only hate us for our freedumbs.
His comments like those you pointed out are imho, laying out the groundwork for a slippery slope just waiting to gobble up the lone white wolf, pissed off him family got shit canned out of their house on illegal grounds and slapped in the face with a $300 "reparation" from the guilty banks while the consultants made off with over $2billion.
I recently watched Agenda:The Grinding Down Of America and it really opened my eyes as to what this socialist pos potus, and a seemingly endless supply of lackeys, have in store for the majority.
America is a fucking republic, not a god damned democracy, and for good reason, until it's not anymore.
I only hope and pray the corruption that has permeated every nook and cranny of the power structures in this once beloved, great country ends up being it's own demise. I really don't see how much more blatant, in-your-face nefarious corruption the system can handle.
WAS a republic. A Republic must be legitimized by a Constitution and since this is no longer the case what you have left is a quasi corporatocracy with smatterings of fascism under the auspices of "democracy".
Miffed;-)
If you want to know what the hell went wrong in this country. It all started with the Act of 1871.

Alaric Balth said.... "Did Obama just say US faces danger from "self-radicalized" Americans? "
He's correct. We do...
Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano, Rahm Israel Emanuel, Nancy Pelosi, John McCain, Joe Libreman, John Boehner, Ben Bernanke, Harry Reid... You get the point.
Somewhere down below there is a valley, that can not be seen from above due to a refraction, I shall seek this valley.
Do not waste your time. It is a fiction novel that provides no solutions.
We each need to create our own Mulligan's Valley.
pretty obvious listening to this clown that ZATO is going to invade/bomb Syria... they just want to look reasonable doing it, so have to posture about evidence (that they are still putting in place).
this is what evil looks like.
they're done looking reasonable. That's what scares me.
It comes with the numbers. The oil numbers, the debt numbers, the war numbers, the guantanamo numbers. The unfiled criminal indictment numbers. None of them are reasonable.
"I'd like to close it but I've had neither the time or power as President over the last 5 years to get it done due to Congress." What a fucking douche bag.
you're giving feminine waste a bad name
Exactly, they actually have a useful purpose.
I think.
I don't think I have EVER actually used that term properly, now that I think about it.
pods
I thought a douche bag is what is left over or washed out or the waste. How about douche waste? Obama is douche waste.
Actually I'd prefer "colon washings for fecal studies". We get a lot of them in the lab and believe me they aren't pretty or pleasingly fragrant. Perfect discription of anything out of this government.
Miffed;-)
I'm not an B. Hussein O. fan.
That being said, if you don't agree with the bombardment/demilitarization of Syria, you haven't been paying attention for the past 35 years.
Syria has been a hive, a breeding ground for terrorist groups and paramilitaries. They're like Iran's stupider, younger brother that always gets caught.
When a spineless, smooth talking charlatan rolls his sleeves up and goes to fisticuffs -- acts have been committed that a clear headed vertebrate would have acted on long ago.
You'll have to forgive my lack of bloodlust. I guess I just haven't been paying attention for the last 35 years.
That's nice./s. But who, besides Israel next door, and our welfare-dependant MIC really gives a sh*t? Live and let die.
Let the locals over there sort it out. If they're THAT worried, they can send in their own sons to battle.
I'm sooooo fucking tired of poor US schmucks bleeding and dying for them in wars of proxy.
"I don't want to be a 'hero', I don't want to die for you..." - '80s song. Should be the national anthem for 25 years, to clean House
" Syria has been a hive, a breeding ground for terrorist groups and paramilitaries."
You can say the same thing about Washington D.C. and Tel Aviv.
No bombing of Syria, or anywhere else. I won the Nobel Peace Prize, remember?
FUCK ME!
"Why do we always sit here,

Hollywood for bad actors, bad screenplay and bad script, must end badly
I know janitors at bars that are sharper than this guy. Did he prepare for this at all? What a joke.
"If I get some credible info, I'm going to consider that a game changer with the stuff in Syria." (WTF does this even mean?)
"People don't seem intimidated going to Fenway Park." (Can people bring fucking pressure cookers into Fenway? What about allowing stormtroopers to enter their houses?)
"People calling me chicken little on sequestration but it has happened. Flight delays, meat inspectors, no White House tours. It all happened." (WTF? No White House tours are ruining our economy? Why not cut the White House parties instead?)
"Plenty of successes in the war on terror. We've entramped plenty of people all over the place. We can handle this." (I know I'm impressed.)
He blasted big business, Wall Street, big oil, General Motors, “excess profits,” “millionaires” and the “wealthy.”
He called out the “corporation executive” for not paying his “fair” share.
He attacked “GOP” tax cuts that “spare the rich” and “benefit millionaires.”
He advocated wealth redistribution from greedy “corporations” to “health insurance” and “public works projects.”
He described himself as “progressive,” while his detractors accused him of being a communist.
He adopted slogans like “Forward” and “Change.” He wanted to transform America through what he called “fundamental change.”
He was skeptical of preachers and their effect on God-and-gun clinging Americans, and saw the Catholic Church as an obstacle to his vision for the state. He argued that Christians should support his ideas and enthusiastically sought the support of the “social justice” Religious Left. Moreover, many people were unclear about his personal religious beliefs, including whether he was a Christian.
Who is this man?
If you answered “Barack Obama,” you’re only half right. The answer is Frank Marshall Davis, Hawaii mentor to a young Barack Obama, and Communist Party member 47544.
Frank Davis is this lying sack of shit's biological father

Guess its a buying opportunity right now...the DOW is IMPLODING a WHOPPING 77 points, thats gotta be a 7 sigma black swan event over the past 7 months.
OT- OMFG - JPM house account called to deliver over 7 million ounces (~240 tons of silver yesterday. That's a pretty hefty short position to be getting called out on.
And to top it off they had customers stand to get over 100,000 ounces of gold (~ 4 tons) yesterday too. The ship is sinking faster!
http://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/MetalsIssuesAndStopsReport.pdf
Not to worry....they will have the rules changed if things get tight for them....only a terrorits would be demanding delivery....this is only a paper market and all those playing in it must adhere to the rules....
" OT- OMFG - JPM house account called to deliver over 7 million ounces (~240 tons of silver yesterday. "
YA - delivery is from one side of the vault to the other* ...
(but nothing REALLY changes hands owing to he way the "Fractional reserve Gold inventory system" operates; Ask Kyle Bass of timco)
Germany better send a couple ships over soon or their stash will be gone.
It'd be more interesting if it was broadcast on Comedy Central, where it belongs...

At least then Krugman would have his flying saucers.
Nickelodian, the way things are going
The eyes remind me of my industry and you see it on every one of these bastards after a few years in office. There's absolutely no soul. You can smell the lying. But there's something else too. Depsite all the ego, all the money, all the cameras - you can see they know something's ugly. I know many folks call these guys idiots and they are to a big degree, but they got here somehow. They're much more criminal than retarded. There's a desperation too and futility. As if, as if whatever drop of humanity was left has dried up and they have given competely in.
What industry, let's see, Davey Jones, you must be a pirate?
Mr. Jones is an attorney. He is also a watchman on the tower, a true brother in arms calling out the barbarains on the horizon.

Give it a laugh track and I think you've got a hit.
All joking and sarcasm aside, they'd rather open up Area 51 than let their fiat burn.

"Since we all work for the banks,

Don't hold back now...open up for us.
I like your style sir !

Yep. Moar terra, too.
Congrats Tyler on being nominated for Ben Bernankes worst nightmare on Yahoo finance poll.
I hope the President is ready for some really tough questions from the press corps. these guys will eat his lunch.
No, they're much more likely to ask what they'll be having for lunch. Or maybe that's too hardball - how about, "are you having lunch before or after golfing today?"...
Eat his lunch? More like toss his salad.
You might be on to something. Full employment?:
Next Up... April 30, 2013 11:45 AM EDT Share President Obama, Vice President Biden, First Lady and Dr. Biden Make a significant employment announcement for veterans and military spouses
This presser was to accomplish a goal. He didn't push an agenda so he's trying to get out in front of something. First question was Benghazi, his answer was he wasn't aware of his admin trying to silence people. There is your answer to the why. This whole press conference was to publicly distance himself from something that is about to drop.
he just called Israel "liars" by saying they don't know who used the chemical weapons. not really surprised.
I hear a bong bubbling in the background already.
"What the fuck, I gotta read the teleprompter again? can't i just improvise and tell the country about my dreams last night?"

What does this mean?
"I am unfamiliar with the notion....but I'll find out, exactly what you are referring to"
Mr. President, could you speak on the hunger strikes going on at the base at Guantanimo Bay - specifically could you offer a reason as to why they are starving themselves?
Obama's Promise to immediately close Guantanamo
Obama on the need to reduce deficit spending. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fUmFBMVWNI
I would but these humans are not politically significant. And as we all know, that is a legal reason to go back on your word. You see, they are only "minorities" who (1) we illegally seized (2) have been holding illegally for over a decade and (3) who are own people tell us are not only innocent but carry "no risk" to our country's safety. Next question
(I struggle to decide the more significant, symbolic piece of history - guatanamo or the towers. One is hidden and disgusting, one admitted, and the same)
"Hey Chalkie...still sleeping with that guy????"

I can't believe people actually watch these televised dog shows.

You owe me a new keyboard HH!

"more amusing to watch dogs humping other people's legs"
I thought that's what I was watching?
Throw him a curveball. Ask him why, since Jan 2012, the labor force for those over 65 years of age, made up 99.5% of the entire labor force growth.
He's from the government, and he's here to help. And he just loves, Mee-chelle.
He he ehe heehe.
He does love MEE-chelle.
When she straps one on and mounts him from behind.
10:15 scheduled, So can we plan for him to show up at noon? Lots sports people to call and congradulate on one thing or another.
FOARWARD!...
I think you mean: FOURWARS!
You SUCKAZ !
Bitchez.
Bunch of 'questions' pre-scripted and rehearsed....lol whatever.
He never gives a press conference. The fact he's giving one means it is either;
A) He's getting out in front of something terrible to try to shape the narrative on it.
B) He's campaigning for some political agenda. My guess would be immigration.
What is certain though is that the questions and answers have already been chosen so don't expect anything exciting from that aspect.
So what did you and the homo Collins talk about ?
Can't this puke just stay on the golf course or go away somewhere and practice free throws? Him and the Wookie are going to be like the Clintons: plaguing our lives until we die.
I never got the complaints about him golfing. STAY on the course please. The last thing we want is this guy doing what he'd consider work.
LATE...AGAIN...
Waiting for the Bernak to get the markets up before he starts.
He's busy touching up the questions he's going to be asked.
Mr. President: We spend billions on homeland security and this did not prevent the Boston bombing. When are you going to replace the head of Homeland Security for this FAILURE?
Better question: "When are you going to direct congress to permanently de-fund DHS due to their 12 years of failure?"
If he makes everyone wait more than 5 min it says alot about his attitude to the American People.
Yup the man is an arrogant ass. Unless there is thermo nuclear war...he has no excuse to keep everyone waiting.
He's announcing reparations...
And another $400 million for the Muslim Brotherhood so they can oppress their Women, Christians, Jews, and anyone not believing in their "peaceful" religion.
Wonder if he'll mention money and aid to the Jihadists within 60 seconds of talking about the Boston loonies.
We need a balanced approach for immigrant jobs in gun control.
Damn, i have to change my avatar.....
I would be happy if he just told us what he discussed in private with the leaders of the Bankster Cartel this month. But, you can bet your retirement fund that isn't going to happen.
discussed?
more like receiving orders
END THE FED. END US TAX PAYERS burden of having to pay a PRIVATE ENTITY, THE "FEDERAL RESERVE" interest on our own money. IT MAKES NO SENSE. Hell, pay me interest on printing money and I will charge HALF of what the FED charges! SCOUTS HONOR.
sarc: Do you have a PhD and a Facebook page?
Freeee mooooneeeeeyyyyy!
No. You gals and guys have it all wrong. He will be stepping on his schlong for the next ten minutes explaining this:
Tsarnaev family received $100G in benefitshttp://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2013/04/tsarnaev_fam...
I mean like...since we are supporting terrorists - paying people to attack us....we may as well let the immigrants in for free. Do I have that right? Maybe we should be paying the immigrants to come and again NOT to bomb us. We obviously have control of the situation. More porno connections and bandwidth for the FBI and DHS are clearly what is needed.
See, You fell for it.
With millions of people calling bullshit on Boston, they subtlety "reframed" the propaganda in "welfare benefits." Now people are talking about the welfare supported "terrorists" which means people have been tricked into accepting the story that these guys did it.
It's called "reframing," a propaganda mindfuck.
Either one believes these guys did it and the welfare angle is just more shit on the stick or they didn't and the welfare angle is a propaganda redirect.
That they have resorted to reframing means that Boston IS bullshit. hujel
" With millions of people calling bullshit on Boston, they subtlety "reframed" the propaganda "
YOUR mindfuck isn't working either; next you'll tell us 9/11 was an inside job and missiles hit the WTC towers ...
JPM about to go under. Stick save time for POTUS
Any DC reporter will tell you that Obama press conferences are fully rigged.
Many submit their questions in advance.
There is even an order to which the questions are asked.
Watch and learn.
If this doofus Obama started flapping his lips at length off-script, high or not, no amount of printing could prevent all hell from breaking loose. Come on you boob, tell us WHAT YOU REALLY THINK...
HOPE. CHANGE. DRONES. GUNS FOR DHS ONLY. I LOVE ISRAEL. THE END.
how much production is being lost waiting for this asshat?
Obama meets with his fan club!
Gun Control, free citizenship for all, free healthcare for all, war in syria/saudi arabia/ israel / iran or here, everyone is gay deep down, eat more spinach, don't be fat.
fuck you, bye
Assad 'released a military on innocent people' '...he should step down.' Sounds like a good start...here.
Forget about the WMD lie you were told in regard to Iraq as another lie is told about WMD in regard to Syria.

tyler, when is business insider going to disappear - that site annoys the fuck out of me
Apple's Bond Offering Is Shaping Up To Be Gigantic — And The Demand From Investors Is Insane
"The company has tons of cash, as everyone knows, but it's parked overseas, and to repatriate it would cause the company a tax hit."
god forbid a us corporation has to pay its fair share of taxes like the rest of us slaves
i hate that site more than tf metals at this point
Business Insider is not a profitable operation. They have a massive cash burn rate.
There will come a day when investors tire of watching their money disappear down that liberal hole.
Business Insider isn't designed to make money, and no-one cares if it does (although, presumably, it'd be nice). I strongly suggest you look into who is bank-rolling it.
Then again, take a look at any broadsheet these days for the same problem. The internet and craigslist (etc) slaughtered the business model (from $100's billions revenue > $100's millions ~ efficiency @ work).
you're the second person this week to write "no one" with a hyphen - what's up with that, did i not get the memo from oxford?
probably soros
i guess the bankers told jeff bezos to keep the site afloat for another year or two to continue the economic cognitive dissonance perception management project

"The New York-based company had about $10 million in sales last year and a net loss of $3 million, according to a person with direct knowledge of its finances. Business Insider has about 100 employees and is expected to bring in more than $15 million in revenue this year, though it may not reach profitability, said the person, who asked not to be named because the information is confidential."
ah maybe i can get a cheap loan and borrow against all my earnings tax free.
The best that I can say about Obama is that he is an incompetent Keynesian.
But, since I believe that he is very samart, I have to conclude that he is a socialist in capitalist clothes.
Consequently I believe that he is working towards the collapse of the US economy with the goal to convert it into socialism.
And that he is, merely, using our Keynesian ideologues to do the economical destruction for him.
Why does this most powerful country continue to elect these psycopaths?
Bush, Clinton, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy ...??!!!
You need to stop throwing about buzzwords like "socialist" and think things through...
A "socialist" would not allow the ass-rape (sorry for the graphic) of the US taxpayers by its multinationals, nor the REVERSE-socialism (aka Fascism) to subsidize the crony-Capitalism at $85B/mo ($1T/yr). A true socialist is anti-war.
Sometimes I don't know who is more full of sh*t: the sock-puppet Obama, or some of the people blogging here.
If the Tylers are putting in "sweat-equity" into their posts, then so should We The Bloggers. Educate more, confuse/distract less.
Indeed. Socialism has nothing to do with what's happening in the World.
No country had a Socialist government so far. Socialism is about sharing, about the means of production in the hands of those who produce the real thing.
Nothing like that has happened in History except for a few cooperative experiences and some family farms or little family business.
Using the language properly it's important for understanding, knowledge, freedom.
I even just saw a billbard of Jimmy Carter that says, "Miss me yet?" Jimmah loves baraka for elevating Jimmah's ratings.
