President Obama Explains How Great The Economy Is (Just Don't Tell The Fed) - Live Webcast
Having "fixed" Obamacare, the President is ready to re-pitch American 'excellence' today as he addresses the state of the economy. Remember, good is bad and bad is good - do don't over-sell it... oh, and all the bad stuff - that's the Tea-Party's fault...
Just don't show him (or anyone) this chart

I simply cannot understand how most people are so damned gullible. Seriously, how come people still buy into this crap?
Someone please translate this for me.... I don't speak douche.
move to nyc like me. it comes surprisingly quickly with full immersion.
How come there are no "peoples" standing behind obama this time?
His presence has a strong sedative effect...
Obama's gonna' go pop some tags...
...he's got 20 Bernankes in his pocket...
He goes on TV every single day. I guess the reality-TV gobbling masses can't tell the difference.
He campaigns 100% of the time. He doesn't know anything else. When exposed or threatened, he does what got him elected: Campaign!!
Why isn't Obama in jail?
Found this post:
"Valerie Jarrett’s daughter and son-in-law work for CGI, (the Co. responsible for the launch of the ACA website)
YourTubeNews is reporting that now we know why a Canadian company got the contract for ObamaCare.
Not only is Michelle’s Princeton classmate an executive with the company, but news broke last night that Valerie Jarrett’s daughter Laura and her husband Tony Balkisoon, the son of a Canadian MPP, both work for CGI Federal.
.
The Washington Post reported that CGI Federal is a relative newbie on the U.S. government IT contracting scene. It bought the U.S. contractor American Management Systems in 2004, but only started ramping up business after 2008, and accelerated in 2010 with the $1.1 billion acquisition of U.S.-based military IT contractor Stanley Inc. That sent its contracting work through the roof: [CGIChart]
.
Now, what happened “after 2008? that sent this loser company “through the roof?” Hmmmmmm?
Related: CGI was also awarded HUD contract to assist in the distribution of $1.7 billion in relief for Hurricane Sandy.
Time to end this and demand an immediate refund of the ACA website contract worth 600+ million dollars and demand investigation in disbursements of hurricane Sandy funds"
Watching the "youth summit' portion.
Now they're getting the Nazi Obama Youth to go out and sell ACA
Go out and spread the word all you 18 year olds.
Uncle Bo is looking out for you!
What?
Each has been replaced by a flag. Flags = patriot. More flags = bigger patriot.
Right, where's the ubiquitous fainting woman for the dear leader to catch.
I don't know Douche, but I speak Jive.
Let me try. He says, "Blah, blah, blah. Blah blah. Blah blah blah, blah. Blah. Blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah...."
It just kinda goes on and on like that.
Hell look at Venezuela. How is that clown Maduro still in power? People will believe anything they are told.
Q: What's the difference between Obama and Maduro?
A: About 2 years.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/venezuela/1049384...
In reality it's more like 10 years but your point is well taken.
> People will believe anything they are told.
Especially when brainwashed by TeeVee and MSM and under constant and continuous threat of violent punishment and torture and loss of property, rights and freedom.
"Can you hear me now?"
The real difference is Maduro has armed the Venezuellan free shit army. Barry not yet....
Wasn't Maduro a bus driver? I mean, at least he worked.
The Kenyan only works to cover his ass.

They're all part of Obama's 'Free Shit Army'.

Stupid teenagers love justin bieber...smart ones don't

Edumacation standards not what they used to be.
Soon there will be complete dependency on god n gubermint and americans are not smart enough to see it coming
I don't think believing in God is stupid. Everything else sounds about right.
If you look at evidence. You need a lot of "faith" to believe.
Actually, if you educate yourself, you need FAR more faith to believe in the perfect alignment of millions of factors needed to make evolution possible.
I for one could never muster the incredible faith to look at a hubble deep field photo and know in my heart its all an accident, a set of random occurrences. That kind of belief system takes real faith. Like I tell my young children throw some sand, rust, bit of oil on the garage floor, no worries soon we will have a Mercedes S class..
That is sort of the point hero.
I personally don't need anymore evidence. My personality changed and my pain was removed after one prayer, in one instant, for life. I have seen and been assailed by darker entities. I don't need anymore proof.
Hey, me too. It is amazing what a little willingness and open-mindedness can get you.
While I am happy that your pain was removed mine has not been. I always appreciate prayer.
The proof is that there is just an infinitesimal chance of the Universe being a Random Event. Conversely it means that there are Overwhelming Odds that it was a Designed Event.
Of course the people whom claim that we are "uneducated" have not had a Physics and Mathematics background while attending School.
It is not the Atheist's fault that they lack the foundational ability to think Rationally and Logically as their Mathematical Skills are dismal at best. They are just a product of our poor education system.
By the way...Before I even hear of an Infinite Universe "Theory" (which is merely speculation and just smacks of RELIGION) l will inform you that Physicists find Infinity to be an abomination and a clear understanding that we lack mathematical definition.
So I'm not able to think "rationally or logically" because I don't believe in an invisible, omnipotent, omniscient being?
You ever wonder why Christians have Christian children while Muslims end up with Muslim children?
It's called INDOCTRINATION.
Same reason kids who go to public/state indoctrination camps end up being Statists.
You Christians crack me up when you try and use logic.
I prefer my gods with lots of arms or blue or some shit like that.
What is really humorous is that there are Christians living in Muslim and Buddhist Cultures.
Do you believe that you would have a different view if you were born in a different culture?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBtrznLRZYQ&list=SP6A1AE952ADCB31FB
I am suggesting that those whom do not understand MATH are Rational or Logical. That was a nice Strawman Logical Fallacy.
Humorous in that the parents of Christians raised in "Muslim and Buddhist Cultures" have Christian parents?
I was born in this culture and have a different view.
And wait,..people who DON'T understand math ARE rational and logical?
I don't think you're even making sense anymore.
Catch a lot of fish in the treetops, do ya?
dc
well that's a nice fantasy you have there. ya no doubt there is so much evidence that everybody just ignores.
Yeah...You seem to ignore the evidence. It it called the Physical Universe with all of the underlying ORDER.
The odds of a Chance Occurence are an infinitesimal at best. If it was not a Chance manifestation then one must conclude that it was Designed. The Evidence that we exist at all domonstrates the Design. Thus there are overwhelming Mathematical Odds that the Universe happened by Design. At that point one must consider a DESIGNER.
Otherwise it would be a MIRACLE that this Universe ever manifested in the first place.
Even Roger Penrose, Caltech Physicist and Stephen Hawking Mentor, in his book, "The Road to Reality~A Complete Guide to the Univerrse" considers Miracles in Chapter 23.
Currently there is an experiment being conducted. Physicists have loaded a Supercomputer with all of the Physical Parameters to see if they can REPLICATE our Physical Universe virtually. We believe that the Universe is Holographic and that it may just be a Computer Simulation as the Physical Universe is DIGITAL. If we can replicate it then we can prove it. I do not believe that we will achieve success because the Computers have limits when compared to that of the Entire Physical Universe. But we are seriously considering it.
Did you know that there is a Quantum Chance that you might end up on the surface of Mars when walking through a door in your home? The chance exists. It is an infinitesimal. But there is a chance.
Ending up on Mars' surface is highly, extremely, UNLIKELY. But that is far more likely than a chance oiccurence of the Physical Universe. It would be IRRATIONAL to consider that in your daily life.
I would be wearing a Spacesuit before betting that the Universe is a Chance occurence. Because believing that the Universe is a Chance Occurrence is much MORE IRRATIONAL than believing that you are, someday, going to be "miraculously" transported to Mars.
And...I am not wearing a Spacesuit...
Stupid people think stupid people are the ones who believe in God.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Language_of_God:_A_Scientist_Presents_Evidence_for_Belief
I believe Einstein also believed in God.
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
> I believe Einstein also believed in God.
Fuck Einstein. He was just another puppet for the beast ... just like this joker, Kurtzweil.
Replace "God" with "themselves" and you've got it. Also, you don't need to replace "god."
Hey dude, simple, stock market at all time highs, TV/Internet entertainment, cheap fast food and social media. You know how many friends I have?
That is a good short summary....fuck Bernanke!

No.

Young Americans are unhappy with virtually everything Obama has done since re-election - but would still vote for him http://reut.rs/1gEhZU7
Because, you know, us Young Americans have SO MANY CHOICES when it comes to voting.
I'm glad I've never voted for this guy, or any of these other douchebags. What a greedy lot of fiat whores they are on both sides of the isle.
And as Mark Twain said, 'If voting actually gave you any real say-so, they'd abolish it'....or something to that effect.

The pic of Obama is so accurate and funny, but the man lives in a world that is foreign to me. Lies are Truth and Truth is lies, so Truth does not exist. Once Truth or seeking Truth is distinguished, the people will suffer. Everyday I gain a little more understanding of George Orwell's genius and I started with great appreciation of Orwell's teachings on the human condition.

Somebody call the police. There's a traitor lying to the public.
I believe the police are part of the problem. They are by and large a union, and unions signed up with the dems long ago, in order to secure a better pension plan. good luck impeaching the man, all the enforcers have been bought.
Detroit Ignorati are finding out the true value of politicians' promises.
There they go with the Military Rule flags in the background again:
http://www.apfn.org/apfn/flag.htm
"Pursuant to the 'Law of the Flag,' a military flag does result in jurisdictional implications when flown (Ruhstrat v. People, 57 N.E. 41, 45, 185 Ill. 133, 49 LRA 181, 76 Am).
Under the powers designated by these statutes, the President may: seize property, organize and control the means of production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, institute martial law, seize and control all transportation and communications, regulate the operation of private enterprise, restrict travel, and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens.... (United States Senate Report 93-549, 19 November 1973)."
What about gun control and fema camps?
One will lead to the other, just ask Mao, Stalin, Hitler & Pol Pot...
"...to make the economy work for every american. That's why I ran for president."
Bahahahah!!! Great schtick here for the smart people.
Democrat or Republican, why does America always elect leaders who speak so slow and deliberate it's as if they're trying to drive home a point to a mentally challenged kindergarten class?
Because they are except the adult version.
It's fundamental to neuro-linquistic programming and mass hypnosis techniques. The code words have to be enunciated clearly, and reinforced with the appropriate hand gestures, in order to be effective.

That only works IF you even listen, if I see his face, the channel changes.
Stop the action and note his facial expressions. He's so fucking lying.
Who the fuck is he supposed to be talking to anyhow?

Racial Discrimination.
Women Discrimination.
Disabled Discrimination.
Kill Whitey!
More like:
Kill the Male Cracker and rape his women.
Well that's what he means, but you can't SAY it like that, you know.
Obama, POTUS, can not say what he actully means, but I can interpert his words to their simple meaning. I actually had hope this guy would address the USA debt load problem in 2008. He could have done some really great things for race relations, but he did the opposite.
I believe the debt issues were decades in the making and an alternate president would not have changed much.
But the race relations have me mad. I had hoped that Obama would have given blacks a way out of the enabled, underproducing that Jessi and the rest of his ilk have saddled them with.
That has not happened and it has actually gotten worse.
The loss of unions was apocalyptic!
Comrade.
Just front-running the fake employment numbers to be released on Friday. Carry on.
The more he talks, the better the odds are that we'll hear what he's really thinking.
Couldn't watch more than a few seconds of this walking douchebag. You could slap him silly with facts and data that counter every single thing he's ever believed in, ever, and he'd waive it away with a nicotine-stained hand, because he's simply smarter than everyone else, especially you.
Now shut up, get back to work so Barry can have your tax revenues to do the real work that stupid Americans don't appreciate his doing for them.
JFC doesn't this guy ever SHUT UP??????????
No, propaganda never sleeps. Tell the lie often enough and eventually people will believe it, or so the theory goes.
He's quoting the Pope!
After he just closed the Vatican Embassy.
After trying to force birth control pills down Catholic Business owners throats.
This guy is un believe able.
He is arrogant and prideful. A real piece of work.
Ut oh, his lips are moving again.
The Argentines are not going to be very pleased being compared to Bob Marley.
Argentina!?!?
"Don't cry for me Argentina!..."
how dear he use lincoln's quots, he seems to always pull other great peoples words to indorse his own speeches
Um, yeah. Lincoln wasn't that great. I'm sure Obama would love to see a bloody civil war break out on his watch. Hell he's doing everything he can to foment one.
Except this time, there will be no borders, not immediately anyways. It'll be like Rwanda with neighbors shooting or hacking their neighbors to death.
If you cannot afford a child. Don't fucking have one!
He should be telling America:
Schools need more discipline as we need to reverse the Math and Reading Test scores. Our forefathers worked hard and were proud of their hard work ethic, so we should follow their path. There is no substitute for hard work.
I have made speech everything is all better now see!
About the only experience Obama has with economics, is having Jaime Diamond and Warren Biuffet blow smoke up his ass.
The underserving poor in search of hand outs has found way to many hand outs from Obama which is why the number of poor keeps growing!
Who created an infrastructure that has led us to a rate of 72% Black children born out of wedlock?
Without "government assistance" this type of dysfunction would never have occurred.
Never.
So sick of hearing this teleprompter fraud retch and spew out lie after lie to prop up this corrupt, manipulated house of cards so he and his cronies can rape and rob future generations of every unit of fiat possible, for as long as possible. This scumbag, with his constant attempts at diversion and Constitutional usurpation, belongs in a gulag at minimum. Sorry ass puppet.
Instead of being ushered in with the "Presidential March" the President's new tune should be the classic circus music, as he is a gigantic clown.

No shit, this is comedy at this point.
Doc, when he walked off the stage he had this look on his face like he doesn't even believe his own bullshit anymore and he can't wait to retire to his palacial Hawaiian estate, set up his man-cave, load up the hooka with some kind buds, and ignore the fuck out of Michelle and the girls until sweet death knocks at his door.
He has no choice but to turn up the socialist rhetoric, unfortunately his crony capitalist masters have even destroyed that wormhole for him. The oligarchy is slowly reducing him to nothing to make way for the next ringmaster of fiat flagulation.

It really is!

From one black man to another, your full of shit Obama, Michelle too and your momma. Why would a black man say that? Simple, he is in a position to actually change things, right the wrongs, and clean out the trash. Instead, you've choosen to ally yourself with those that put you into power rather than playing them like the jive turkey's they are. You are the first black president and had the chance to put your foot into asses that needed your foot in their ass and you let us all down.
The more i listen to this guy, i swear the dumber I get.
It is really disapointing he should have turned on his handlers and instead he went golfing.
The US Traasury Agents (Secret Service) showed OBUTTHEAD the Zapruder Film and told OBLITERATOR, point blank, "This can happen to you."
So, really, what do you expect?
The last President who ran on a Reform Platform, Ronald Reagan, was shown the very same film and told the US Treasury Agents to "Go fuck yourselves.", in so many words and actions, through appointing David Stockman as Director at OMB, as well as a myriad of other Financial Reform advocates. (The US Economy was on the precipice of collapse when Reagan took over from the Peanut Farmer.)
Reagan intended to revamp, restructure, the ENTIRE Economy. That was his campaign promise to the American people. Young and deluded, Twenty One Years Young, I voted FOR REAGAN in my very first participation in the Political Process. (That was the only President that I ever voted FOR.) I believed that he would change things back to Honest Money, Gold, and an Honest Economy.
Six weeks after his inauguration Reagan was shot. It took a bullet to Ronald Reagan's chest to convince him, "This can happen to you."
Reagan's Administration returned to the Status Quo shortly thereafter and all Economic Reformers were subsequently dismissed.
Oblameo is not the Problem. His handlers are the PROBLEM. I am NOT an apologist for the Queer in Chief. He is a participant in the fraud. But his life was threatened by those whom are supposed to protect him.
What would you do? Live and PROFIT? Or Die as a "Martyr to the cause."?
THERE IS NO POLITICAL SOLUTION. When you understand that then you will understand what you must do. Why keep Politics when Politics offers no solution? Discard it and OPT OUT.
Yea I know. Coincidence that Bush Sr. was his VP too. And I'm sure each president learned they could be "touched" after JFK.
So what to do?
Accept it, understand that there is nothing that you can do about it, opt out as much as you can, and take care of yourself so you can take care of those whom you love. Be at peace with it, buy some popcorn, kick back, and watch it crumble.
There are no political solutions. We are in a predicament, and, as one wise ZH poster told me, predicaments only have outcomes.
Speaking of "waking up"... I'm beginning to suspect that hanging out here may make you 'smarter', but not happier or richer.
The really 'smart' thing to do, may be to find a way to profit from the contrived and manipulated data, realizing that having SOME eggs in the Establishment's basket will result in better ROI than from only PM and 'brass & lead'.
Adapt. Hedge.
