Obama's "You Shut Down That Government" Speech - Live Webcast
The first speech by a standing president in 17 years to address a government shut down is certain to be full of sound, fury and lots of blame. Look beyond the traditional platitudes for any mention of the real danger to the US, the debt ceiling, which will hit in just over two weeks and if the shutdown is any indication, the preceding "negotiation" will hardly be smooth and by the numbers. Also, it will finally be disclosed if the teleprompter is a critical government service.

No, he's not a partisan hack.
What a miserable lack of leadership.
And no Potus, it's not a "Republican" shutdown.
It takes two to tango.
Oh, you've got to go, the Iranians are on the phone.
"Let me be clear, 2+2=5. I'm tired of republicans saying differently and letting partisan politics get in the way of simple math......"
What a pussy.
look at that herd of cattle behind him.....does ofuckucare cover jennycraig?
They look like refugees from the McDonalds SuperSize me documentary.
Sebelius seems a little antsy.
what a buffoon. who gives a shit what any of these puppets has to say. lets hear what the bankers have to say, this is their mess. let them answer for it.
"President Obama DELIVERS a statement". I guess men can be pregnant and deliver. Then again, maybe he's not a man after all.
OBAMA: "I love poor people so much that I make more of them every day!"
WASHINGTON DC: "We are going to stop working.... because we can't agree on how to spend the imaginary money we don't have."
Not fair to non human primates to refer to that cocksucker as a Monkey.
Don't monkeys sling shit?

The government debt funding TOTUS shall not be questioned!
Personally, I can't take any of this seriously until they Tweet it.
I Love Americans because they can't take care of themselves and therefore need a government to take care of them!
of course the vicious circle is that the Americans are the govt
Umm, no.
Umm, yeah. We are living idiocracy right now. The takers now outnumber the producers. Why do you think all this shit is happening now? The government is a reflection of the people. Maybe only by 1 or 2% but still the majority.
I do not deny the large number of non-producing takers. However fraud is still fraud, even (especially) if the marks are mentally-challenged.
The populace is not the government. Only an idiot believes in that bullshit social contract nonsense.
Get the fuck outa herrrre. Of course the populace is the government. Have you taken a look around lately. 9 out of 10 conversations you hear consist of football scores, what KimK ate for dinner lastnight or who facebooked who. Only an idiot thinks that this government is not a reflection of the majority of Americans.
He delivers a statement much like I deliver the kids to the pool.
been waiting at healthcare.gov "live Chat" for 45 minutes
no human yet
help jam the website traffic, maybe we can crash it?
Sorry, but government doesn't "work" that way. They will use that as "proof" of overwhelming demand, which will need even more funding now.
The best thing that could happen to that website is no one going there, ever.
Geez....he practically sprinted away from the reporters!
He's got a tee-time in 30 minutes.
The government is closed. Does anyone here go to work on a day off? No.
He can hang glide naked and eat taco's if he wants to. It's his time, he can do what he likes with it.
And who would you guess would be his preferred tandem naked hang gliding partner?
I don't know, hang gliding and trying to keep a taco from falling apart...would be tricky to throw a third thing in there.
He could always make it a Walking Taco instead and tie it on like a feed bag.
Putin on the phone.
This should be a public service commercial explaining the debt ceiling, not this shit spewing from his mouth. The American people are dumb as rocks.

Had to hit the mute button, can't stand to listen to the POTUS or any politician for that matter!!
I would love the opportunity to debate the POTUS on a host of subjects or better yet to ask some tough questions during a presser while the cameras are running.
Our media are such sock puppets that this guy gets a pass from any real journalism and now FeinStain wants to license free speech.
Folks, this is just so much political theater from all three branches of the .gov and it's sickening really...
DaddyO
her meth dealer wasn't an essential gub emp.
i like to watch O speak at times for the pleasure of being able to turn it off mid speech
he never says anything
Community organizer speak. blah, blah, blah blah blah, blah. There! Aren't I wonderful.
Just the threat of more campaigning should have been enough to send a clean bill to the Senate. Yeesh.
SOP for the POTUS. He knows nothing about diplomacy and everything about campaigning. Too bad the campaigns are over, now he just looks desperate. Lets listen to his tune when the g'ment is shut down for a few weeks. And let's not forget the looming debt ceiling debate. Let's hope the SHTF.
Oh my, the Telepromptor caught an attitude.
"You didn't read that!"
That's some hefty support he has behind him.
Obviously, they are starving.
"See? Look at all these folks, they are starving and fat. They need SNAP and health care."
Be funny if they lost weight over the weeks of a government shut down.
No we see why a nice spiffy syrian war would work for the ptb.
Obama is so full of shit it makes my asshole jealous.
Fuck you, obama, you dirty, rotten, lying cocksucker...
Reminds one of that scene from 2001 with astronaut Dave shutting down functions, one by one, and HAL 9000 saying "I really don't think you should do this, Dave.."
For the first time in, say 20 years, I need my .gov ID, my Social inSecurity card.
So I get through to my local office and request that I get a replacement. "Sorry, that is one thing we are not allowed to do during the furlough."
Forbidden.
I offered to bring my own paper and ink in, but only got laughed at.
So FU, .gov.
The kicker is, even if things were working 'normally', even if I was in their office - it would STILL take them 2 weeks to process the paperwork and then mail me a replacement. Two weeks.
Again, FU .gov.
Fuck you, BHO.
Where the hell is Bush?
Missed the great "talk down" to the Serfs, did he pull the "they don't like me because...." race card?
J
Fuck you, amateur!
Would that be the "non-essential" "public servants" you speak of?
"It was the Tea Party terrists!"
Yeah, those terrorists that are advocating fiscal responsibility. Something the fiscal illiterates know nothing about.
Just quoting Dear Leader.
I balance my budget, balance yours motherfucker!
Checks and balances motherfucker, CONgress has the power of the purse, not you.
You want obamacare, then figure out how you will pay for it first.
I hear people bitching that the system is broken. No, the system is working exactly as it was intended, as a series of checks and balances between the levels of government. The GOP are doing what they can to prevent the left from yet more unbridled spending. The only problem is that both sides are all complicit and dirty as hell. No honor among thieves applies in this circumstance.
Sadly, the Republicans also are also "dirty" as you say.
The only way for a politician to have power is to be able to funnel money to their pet projects and special interests.
Politicians like power and spending other people's money.
LOL, I got junked.
I guess somebody thinks the republicans don't have a spending problem. *rolls eyes*
Consider it a badge of honor. With the number of morons who have found the way to this board, if you don't get some junks, you ain't doin' it right. It is fight club, after all.
We need to bring back the math tests before being able to post anything. I swear, it seems like about 25% of posters have serious reading comprehension and critical thinking problems. They just react to buzz words & talking points like Pavlov's dogs.
You are on the right track, Keyser, but if you think this is some 'responsible government' iniative, that would be wrong. The GOP has largely controlled things in the House since 1994, and had control of all 3 branches for a good part of that time. The facts are that the budget problem has grown steadily, regardless of who is in charge. No party is willing to close the punch bowl.
I don't like Obamma, and I don't like most Democrats. I did not like Bush, and don't like most Republicans. I do, however, like to deal with reality. What these renegade House members, along with a few Tea Party Senators, are doing is digging their party a big hole. The old timers know it, and they are despearately looking for some way out of the box they have put themselves in. They realize that every day this goes on is another day the Dems and Obummer beat the shit out of them in the media. No way is this a good thing for the GOP.
It is also dumb....DUMB.
They have the real battle cranking up in a couple of weeks - the Debt Ceiling looms. They had themselves in pretty good shape for that fight just a week ago before all this crazines started over a continuing budget resolution. Obummer was on the ropes over foreign policy, the economy, and just about everything else, and his poll numbers were dropping. These bozo's actually threw him a lifeline and shot themselves in the foot at the same time. Now, when he gets through letting them twist in the wind over this, they will be very badly crippled and have few chits to play when the big fight starts. Just watch what happens.
Self-serving amatuers from safe, gerrymandered districts, have the steering wheel in the GOP, and Boner does not have the political courage to take it back.
Let the down arrows rain.
I wouldn't junk you.
You may be right.
What I'd like to see is for the public to take this like they did the sequester and think, "well, maybe the sky didn't fall afterall".... but, the MSM will never allow that to happen. They'll roll out the most pitiful examples of where someone's benefit check didn't arrive on time and somebody died because of it or some shit like that.
We all know in the battle for public opinion on current events, the MSM will paint the picture and drill it in, over and over and over.... the public will take the cue and that will be the discussion.... Not that Harry Reid did this but, those nasty republicans and tea baggers.
I give it a week before you see the weak republicans start to give way.
The one thing I really hope for is that Obungo overplayed his hand in this.... Instead of looking like he was looking for a way to work things out, he looks like he's part of the problem. I hope maybe some of the public pick up on that and see things for what they really are.
The GOP did not have control of the House after 2007. It was only the 2010 election that the GOP regained control of the House. If you are going to quote history, at least get it correct.
Maybe you haven't been paying attention, how about you start talking to the non-government employees around you? I'm sure they will tell you what they think, and in the end that is all that matters. I keep hearing people happy with the shut down.
You're an idiot, and I have given you more than one chance to prove otherwise.
First, let me tell you just how great it makes me feel to have you give me multiple chances......not very.
Second, you need to brush up on your critical reading skills, instead of just emoting through your fingers.
Do you know what the word "largely" means? Republicans controlled the both the House and the Senate most of the time from 1994 until now. I would lay out the dates for you, but why don't you just look them up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_divisions_of_United_States_Congresses
And in case it has slipped your memory, ALL spending bills originate in the House.
No where did I mention 2007. One of us needs to start paying attention. You can discover who that is by looking in the mirror.
Take your partisan BS and go bother somebody who cares.
How the fuck did that get junked?
No matter what.....there's always that one guy.
Oddly enough, there are so few negatives. Are all the .gov sock-puppet trolls on furlough?
Just like Bush, I can't stand hearing him speak without going mad. The bullshit is too thick. His voice is fucking annoying and represents everything that is wrong with politics.
Pure torture would be listening to him talk for more than a minute.
"Just like Bush, I can't stand hearing him speak without going mad. The bullshit is too thick."
They are all the same, regardless of party or wing. I generally just change the channel after the first few sentences. It really is a clown show.
I can't even watch these clowns on the tube anymore. I want to physically attack the TV if I can see Obama. As it is, I rant, rave and curse at the thing until I can get out of earshot. No one in history has ever pissed me off more than the current POTUS and that includes 2 ex-wives.
Is there a cake eating contest going on at the WH?
Look at the two behind Potus ...
They haven't turned away any meals....
I don't want them on my healthplan....
Thats exactly why Obamcare is going to be a huge cost in the future..his three examples will add over 1 million in expenses while only taking in 10-20 thousand...if that because I believe the Government will subsidize these people anyway....what a joke this is....free healthcare...is not free....Death Panels you just wait...they will be here soon....just by limiting surguries....the lady with the brain tumor will never get one..that is a $250,000 operation...she will never get it in 5 years....Obamacare will be so broke....I bet over 50% of the country will be on the subsidized side of it...it will cost a trillion extra a year in the future....
Dude in back should try out for the Steelers O-line.
At 0-4 they could sure use some help!
Don't worry, Moochelle has got this covered. The people behind Obama were all nonessential gubmint workers who now can't afford food because of those heartless, evil, common-man hating Red Teamers, so Moochelle is going to rescue food from the garbage cans of every school that has adopted Moochelle's healthy eating plan. Most of the healthy food that must be included in each lunch goes directly to the trash barrels without passing go and collecting $200. The schools get their lunch subsidies and the nonessential gubmint workers still get their taxpayer-sponsored handouts, so it's win-win.
Listen for any mention of the Weimar Republic.
I'll predict the following compromise:
3 month delay on Obamacare in return for no more Sequester.
I can just picture the smiles and handshakes in that photo-op.
Weimar for President! We'll all be Millionaires!
Ah, this douchebag again? He needs to shut his cock-holster.
Another campaign speech?
Lol is the the 2nd string secret service behind him? They def didn't miss the donuts in the breakroom.
Ah, the irony. You will be paying for their healthcare which illnesses will probably include diabetes and heart disease. Welcome to Obama's Amerika.
Just some fat asses that couldn't get insurance until now, because they are total fat asses.
Captain 0 orders more cyber bucks- "We must keep the USS Albatross aloft!"

unbelievable! He is playing from a very weak hand if that's all he has.

You either left out the /sarc tag or you are suffering from some mental malady which is only liberals are susceptible.
Your inability to detect obvious sarc is staggering.
Back of the line for you.
Senate majority leader Reid says will negotiate with Republicans if government opens
Yeah we'll negociate... after you accept our demands... Lulz.
"Senate majority leader Reid says will negotiate with Republicans if government opens"
Government was open and he didn't negotiate.
I call bullshit on that unless you have a good source.
is that Howard Stern behind him?
The public is some blacks and old white. What is the message?
The message is better seen when hitting mute then playing this in 1st speed fast forward, keeping your eye on the lady in black and the redskins rt tackle. Their facial expressions say it all.

Yes, someone threw a bucket of water on the ol' witch.

I appreciate the product placement shout-out to Kayak and Amazon. I assume the POTUS is long both companies.

Most Americans can get coverage for 100 dollars or less.....................This mother fucker is off the chain full of shit!!!!
Has anyone told him the website is down? Douche.
Gov shutdown. Most of the web sites are probably gone. Treasury is gone. NOAA is gone.
The web servers can run themselves for a year, no problem. They are doing it to fuck with us, make it seem like the whole world has ended.
Motherfuckers.
NOAA has this to say:
Due to the Federal government shutdown,
NOAA.gov and most associated web sites
are unavailable.
Only web sites necessary to protect lives
and property will be maintained.
Motherfuckers. Nobody "maintains" websites. What -- someone needs to feed the hamsters?
Just like a two year old braking his toy so no one can use it.
They're up and running. You got the canned .gov response to your request. Just have to figure out a way around the facade.
I'm not interested in the work-around. I'm interested in the propaganda value of the facade. They don't have to do that, but they did, because they can make people afraid.
The guy who came up with that spiffy html page probably makes 250k a year and they certainly haven't killed their hosting, or turned off the lectircity to their servers and routers. What a buncha maroons.
I wonder if/when 4Chan can/will do a DOS on the Obamacare server?
I don't think it would have any impact, it looks like they are screwing it up themselves w/o any outside help.
No the fuckers are shutting down Gov web services.

Feel free to leave then.
Since twits like you have come to represent the overall intellectual level of the comment boards it may not be a bad idea...
You can continue your circle jerk completely oblivious to any semblance of rationality, just the way you like it...
Hearing from someone backstage that Obama planning bring out a blow-up Boehner doll and skull f***k it at the podium after speech.
Doll will not have secret service detail do to shutdown.
here is what must be considered.
many people do not want coverage,
do not want the insurance,
do not want the treatment,
do not want the expert advice and direction,
do not want the prescribed education,
do not want the leadership offered,
do not want the security claimed to be provided,
do not want the slanted description of reality proffered,
do not want the law restricting their better judgement,
do not want to play anymore.
and can't fucking afford it, chief !
end the source problem,
the fed and it's usurious money system.
You are being too kind to the counterfeiting sons of bitches. I prefer to use more graphic language.
go ahead
outlaw your political opponents
Golden Dawn.
The Straw Man President is the Teleprompter Tyrant!
Compulsion (aka. "mandate") is the tool of tyrants!
And NO, I'm not using the word "mandate" to refer to Obama's associations with Reggie LOVE!
Do I see more whites than blacks? Racist government.
What a fucking retard.
Please do not insult retards by this comparison!
Geez, she's got one helluva rack!
This is sad.
This is absurd.
What the ... !?!?!?!
Did he really just say that!?!?!?!
Is he f-ng nuts?
Ah, ok, I feel better now.
Wait, the timing isn't good for a shutdown? I thought we were in a "recovery"...
Oh, it's a republican shut down, silly me. I thought it was also a democrat shut down too. Douchebaggery of the highest order.
I would ask what he is bolviating about but I couldn't careless. I'm just surprised the Boner didn't cave.
TOTUS is unequivocally the most divisive U.S. puppet in charge I've ever seen! How many times has this fuckwad said Republican? He sounds like a broken record!
Yo, bra, what's and "iron knee"? I don wan that sh-t, I want one of them new ones w my free obamacare ...
Is it just me or does it not seem that all he does is make speeches and play golf?
Yep. His derogatory tone is nauseating. He is all about 'tearing down' rather than 'building up'.
Wish he was already playing golf full time.
Now waitafucking minute...I don't have a Beemer or a big house. That don't make any sense. Are you gonna give it to me, Bamster, out of our collective pockets? His fake moral outrage sickens me.
Mr. President, give this guy a call, he knows Washington and could balance your budget before supper today.
Give him a call.

Uh, not paying the mortgage? Foreclosed when?
if you have a carnote
wtf is carnote?
Titlemax takes your title and gives you cash for 9.95%/mth, if you come up with the principle and interest you get your carnote back. A little something special for the poor folks out there.
WTF Does he listen to himself.
You don't spend money that should be for the mortgage and then expect your bank to increase your overdraft by another trillion. You fuckin' retard.
