Barack Obama: "Don't Get Cynical, Get Hopey"
Today, Obama did more of what he has been born to do: preach from a teleprompter, this time at the Paramount Theater in Austin. Here are the choice excerpts from the speech transcript. They hardly need commentary:
* * *
Sometimes people say thank you for something I've done or a position I've taken, and some people say, "You're an idiot." (Laughter.) And that's how I know that I'm getting a good representative sampling because -- (laughter) -- half the letters are less than impressed with me.
* * *
The crisis in 2008 hurt us all badly -- worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. But you think about the progress we've made. Today, our businesses have added nearly 10 million new jobs over the past 52 months. (Applause.) Our housing is rebounding. Our auto industry is booming. Manufacturing is adding more jobs than any time since the 1990s. The unemployment rate is the lowest point it's been since September of 2008. (Applause.) ... some of it had to do with decisions we made to build our economy on a new foundation. And those decisions are paying off. We're more energy independent. For the first time in nearly 20 years, we produce more oil here at home than we buy from abroad. (Applause.) The world's largest oil and gas producer isn't Russia; it's not Saudi Arabia -- it's the United States of America. (Applause.)
In education, our high school graduation rate is at a record high; the Latino dropout rate has been cut in half since 2000. (Applause.) More young people are graduating from college than ever before.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Si se puede!
OBAMA: Si se puede. (Laughter.)
* * *
So when folks say they're frustrated with Congress, let's be clear about what the problem is. (Applause.) I'm just telling the truth now. I don't have to run for office again, so I can just let her rip. (Applause.) And I want to assure you, I'm really not that partisan of a guy. My favorite President is the first Republican President, a guy named Abraham Lincoln. You look at our history, and we had great Republican Presidents who -- like Teddy Roosevelt started the National Park System, and Dwight Eisenhower built the Interstate Highway System, and Richard Nixon started the EPA.
The statement I'm making is not a partisan statement, it is a statement of fact. (Applause.) So far this year, Republicans in Congress have blocked or voted down every serious idea to strengthen the middle class. They have said no --
AUDIENCE: Booo!
OBAMA: Don't boo now, because what I want you to do is vote. (Applause.)
They've said no to raising the minimum wage. They've said no to fair pay. They said no to unemployment insurance for hardworking folks like Kinsey's parents who have paid taxes all their lives and never depended on anything and just needed a little help to get over a hump. They said no to fixing our broken immigration system that we know would strengthen our borders and our businesses and help families. (Applause.)
* * *
And what it does, is it just feeds people's cynicism about Washington. It just makes people think, well, nothing can happen, and people start feeling hopeless. And we have to understand, in the face of all evidence to the contrary in Washington, we can do better than we're doing right now. (Applause.) We can do better than what we're doing right now.
We know from our history, our economy does not grow from the top down, it grows from the middle up. It grows from a rising, thriving middle class. It grows when we got ladders of opportunity for everybody, and every young person in America is feeling hopeful and has a chance to do what they can with the God-given talents that they have. That's what we're fighting for. That is what you should be fighting for. (Applause.)
And that's the reason -- that's the reason why my administration has taken more than 40 different actions just this year to help working Americans -- because Congress won't.
* * *
As long as Congress will not increase wages for workers, I will go and talk to every business in America if I have to. (Applause.) There's no denying a simple truth: America deserves a raise, and if you work full-time in this country, you shouldn't live in poverty. That's something that we all believe. (Applause.)
* * *
Now, here's where it gets interesting. There are a number of Republicans, including a number in the Texas delegation, who are mad at me for taking these actions. They actually plan to sue me. (Laughter.) Now, I don't know which things they find most offensive -- me helping to create jobs, or me raising wages, or me easing the student loan burdens, or me making sure women can find out whether they're getting paid the same as men for doing the same job. I don't know which of these actions really bug them. (Laughter.)
The truth is, even with all the actions I've taken this year, I'm issuing executive orders at the lowest rate in more than 100 years. So it's not clear how it is that Republicans didn't seem to mind when President Bush took more executive actions than I did. (Applause.) Maybe it's just me they don't like. I don't know. Maybe there's some principle out there that I haven't discerned, that I haven't figure out. (Laughter.) You hear some of them -- "sue him," "impeach him." Really? (Laughter.) Really? For what? (Applause.) You're going to sue me for doing my job? Okay. (Applause.)
I mean, think about that. You're going to use taxpayer money to sue me for doing my job -- (laughter) -- while you don't do your job. (Applause.)
* * *
So rather than wage another political stunt that wastes time, wastes taxpayers' money, I've got a better idea: Do something. (Applause.) If you're mad at me for helping people on my own, let's team up. Let's pass some bills. Let's help America together. (Applause.)
It is lonely, me just doing stuff. I'd love if the Republicans did stuff, too. (Laughter.) On immigration issues, we've got -- and to their credit, there are some Republicans in the Senate who actually worked with Democrats, passed a bill, would strengthen the borders, would help make the system more fair and more just. But the House Republicans, they haven't even called the bill. They won't even take a vote on the bill. They don't have enough energy or organization or I don't know what to just even vote no on the bill. (Laughter.) And then they're made at me for trying to do some things to make the immigration system work better. So it doesn't make sense.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible.)
OBAMA: I'm sorry, what are you yelling about now? Sit down, guys. I'm almost done. Come on, sit down. I'll talk to you afterwards, I promise. I'll bring you back. I'm wrapping things up here.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible.)
OBAMA: I understand. See, everybody is going to start -- I'm on your side, man. Sit down, guys, we'll talk about it later, I promise.
So, look, here's what we could do. We could do so much more -- you don't have to escort them out. They'll sit down. I promise, I'll talk to you afterwards.
* * *
Let's rally around a patriotism that says we're stronger as a nation when we cultivate the ingenuity and talent of every American, and give every 4-year-old in America access to high-quality education -- good-quality preschool. (Applause.) Let's redesign our high schools to make them more relevant to the 21st century economy. Let's make college more affordable. Let's make sure every worker, if you lose your job, you can get a good job training that gives you an even better job. (Applause.)
Let's embrace the patriotism that says it's a good thing when our fellow citizens have health care. It's not a bad thing. (Applause.) That's not a bad thing. It's a good thing when women earn what men do for the same work. That's an all-American principle. (Applause.) Everybody has got a mom out there or a wife out there or a daughter out there. They don't want them to not get treated fairly. Why would you be against that?
* * *
There are plenty of people who count on you getting cynical and count on you not getting involved so that you don't vote, so you give up. And you can't give into that. America is making progress, despite what the cynics say. (Applause.) Despite unyielding opposition and a Congress that can't seem to do anything, there are workers with jobs who didn't have them before; there are families with health insurance who didn't have them before; there are students in college who couldn't afford it before; there are troops who served tour after tour who are home with their families today. (Applause.)
Cynicism is popular. Cynicism is popular these days. It's what passes off as wisdom. But cynics didn't put a man on the moon. Cynics never won a war. Cynics didn't cure a disease, or start a business, or feed a young mind. Cynicism didn't bring about the right for women to vote, or the right for African Americans to be full citizens. Cynicism is a choice.
Hope is a better choice. Hope is what gave young soldiers the courage to storm a beach. Hope is what gave young people the strength to march for women's rights and civil rights and voting rights and gay rights and immigrant rights. (Applause.)
Hope is what compelled Kinsey to sit down and pick up a pen, and ask "what can I do," and actually think maybe the President might read that story and it might make a difference. (Applause.) And her voice rang out here in the Paramount Theatre. And it's her voice and your voice that's going to change this country. That's how we're going to make sure that we remain the greatest nation on Earth -- not by asking what we can do for ourselves, but what we can do for each other and what we can do for our country.
And so, as President, I'm going to keep a promise that I made when I first ran: Every day, I will keep asking the same question, and that is, how can I help you? And I'll keep treating your cares and your concerns as my own. And I will keep fighting to restore the American Dream for everybody who's willing to work for it.
And I am going to need you to be right there with me. (Applause.) Do not get cynical. Hope is the better choice.
Thank you, Texas. Thank you, Austin. God bless you. (Applause.)
END

Or, all the above, summarized in one sentence: it's the Republicans fault, and ban cynicism. (with a gratuitous JFK paraphrase thrown in for good measure)

Why Not Both?
Maybe they could make it karmic: No-Knock SWAT raid at 3 AM.
Cynics decided the British Crown wasn't serving their purposes any more so they had a revolution. That wasn't the act of goes-along-to-get-along hopiots.
"Hope dies last."
Cynics are simply folks beyond that point.
mother fucking mary. oh my god.
Wow! Yet, another mind blowing display of megalomania from the chosen one.
FYI: Mr. President, if you really wanted to help me, you would fire your entire administration and just resign. Then you can go just play golf 24/7/365. I think you'd have way less stress and be able to spend more quality time with Reggie too.
How about an executive order abolishing the federal reserve act
What a schmuck!
When we look at the definition of propaganda we find it is a form of communication that is aimed towards influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position by presenting only one side of an argument. Propaganda is usually repeated and dispersed over a wide variety of media in order to create the chosen result in audience attitudes.
Today a program at the White House creates a message by spinning, scrubbing, molding, and shaping it, they then send it out to the public. They often go as far as to make a, "call to action", where those listening are encouraged to push forward their agenda. This is one of the ugly realities of modern communication, the ability to send out millions of messages directly and unfiltered, More on this subject in the article below.

"Today a program at the White House creates a message by spinning, scrubbing, molding, and shaping it,"
However, a thinking person can still smell it.
"They can never get that smell out."
Don't worry be happy; The check is in the mail bitchez.......
"how can I help you?"
Turn yourself in.
'Cynics didn't build that!'
I hope Obama slips into a pile of dung while playing golf, how is that for hope?
Anyone that is over thirty and still believes what a pol or crat says, is dead between the ears.
Can this be overdubbed in German. Loudly.
'Let me be perfectly clear: If you like your cynicism, you can keep your cynicism. Period. Full Stop. All engines ahead Full. Beam me up, Scotty. Most transparent Administration in History. Fist bump. I did not have sexual relations with that woman- Hillary Clinton. Hope and Change and Lunacy and Unicorns and Farce and Disbelief and Incredulity and Regret and a deep, overpowering sense of Shame.'
'Oh yes, and Hubris. An unbelievably huge motherfucking shit-load of Hubris and destructive, Sociopathic Megalomania. Period. Full Stop.'
I hope he deals with the borders.
I hope he honors the Constitution.
And the words, "Fuck you Mr. President!" come to mind even more.
It isn't your job to do anything for any one person. Asking the question, What can I do for you? The answer is very easy. Kill yourself. The single best thing Barry can do for everyone.
This country has turned telling the truth into being a cynic. Stating a fact is cynicism somehow. Another way of making sure only lies are acceptable speech.
adr - from what i learned recently from an 'immigrant, scumbag thief, boss' -
'you are reading too much into it, that isn't my .... in your ...., i'll take it out soon when i'm done'.
i'm not joking. by happy - 'hope'. i'm not really fucking you.
suckers.
Hey, Bath House, go play with Reggie and Michelle-I mean, Michaels' dicks and leave us alone, fuck tool!
So he's a big Richard Nixon fan, ok got it.
No shit.
"If the President does it, then it's not illegal"!
SOU is Legendary as a Bunch of Lies
Hey Process Improvement
President Obama Lies about everything in all his Speeches
But? Question, Why Does the USA President Put Foreigners above Domestic Policy and US People.
Could it be CAFTA-DR Treaty makes foreign people US Citizens or authorizes their presence in the USA?
Guessing I'd say No, he just puts his Agenda or CIA Agenda or Wealthy Interest Agenda above all US Citizens who are not Wealthy.
Hey mr. president........
FUCK YOU.
Who the f*ck does that *sshole in the whitehouse think he is? He, the teleprompter reader in chief is a nothing clone and worthless slave to the powers that flipped the switch from hope to fear many years ago.
He has no right to talk to the American people. He is just a worthless mouthpiece and nothing more.
Go play some more golf with your pussy swing you worthless POS and have that tranny wife of yours spend some more of the people's money to entertain his/herself.
Wondering where the grown-ups are....
TV and Hollywood are 100% behind him and the idiots keep watching TV and Hollywood's shit. Keep up the good work idiots. Even many conservatives stupidly still watch Fox News which is just as bad. Shut it all off.
youre the fucking child who censors the words fuck and ass....
Pres. Obama,
The status quo is "The Public Be Suckered".

I say to you: Expose it!
This filthy shameless banker's boy is everything Bubba was times two. Much much worse he is a fucking Hypocrite and in my book this deception of the people shows him up to be the twisted sicko liar that he is.
His evil knows no bounds and spreads like a cancer throughout society and the rest of the world where no one is answerable for crimes against humanity.
Is it possible that this CUNT is oblivious to the misery he is causing?
Surrounding himself with YES MEN speaks volumes. Why would you want competent people around you exposing your great shortcomings on a daily basis?
FUCK YOU ARSEHOLE AND YOUR ARMY OF THUGS.
BHB: living proof that "termites" fuck camels.
Whereas his wife is living proof that humans do fuck apes (sorry Chewie, no offense intended)
My, my, my, the homos for Bath House brigade is out shooting red arrows again
Want to help me?
Stop stealing from me, treating me like your property and Get the F out of my way.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it. -George Bernard Shaw
Bath House: Fuck Tool.
This speach could make for an entire article on pathology of the mind for the New England Journal of Medicene.
meanwhile he and his criminal backers steal trillions and destroy Americas reputation across the world. I will stop being a cynic when Corzine, holder, Dimon, Blankfien and Paulson are rotting in jail!!!
Yeah, cynicism is a choice. It's not necessarily a good choice, it just happens to be the most rational one under the present circumstances.
Hope? In a world where a government that was once a republic is ever more brazen in its attacks on the very citizens that it is supposed to serve?
Hope? In a twisted, manupulated, wreck of an economy whose supposed "green shoots" all turn out to be noxious weeds?
Hope? When kids who can't get a decent education in what is supposedly the most advanced nation on earth are packed off to fight wars on the other side of the world for the sole putpose of profiting a corrupt oligarchy?
Hope? Not today.
But while it it difficult to look at the current world and smile, I am not overwhelmed with cynicism. There is cause for hope in the long term.
Enough people realise something is wrong to plant a seed that may yet yield some true green shoots. But it will take much more than an election and a change of puppets for that seed to grow. Jefferson reminded us what we need to water it with.
If there was any doubt about him being a POS, that hook'em horns sign removed it
I did not care for the mulatto (no, he's not BLACK, his mother is white) before he ran in '08. I told everyone, that would listen, "No, way is he going to finish his first term". Six years later I have come to realize, the America that I thought I knew, no longer exsists and we'll NEVER be going back to that world, that LIFE-STYLE, again. This is as good as it's going to get, in that, it's only going down hill, fast, from here.
WIth that being said, now, I'm just trying to be as invisible and as off-the-grid as possilbe, living in the most creative, third world country, on the planet. OLA!

Fucking terrific. Our federal government sponsors disease vectors. ...
It's funny that Obama denounces cynicism. While all his sycophants nod approvingly, do they miss his double meaning? Obama is slamming not the modern attitude, rather the Cynic philosophy, because he is the living antithesis. What could be worse for o'Bummer than the classic Cynic's embrace of a near-ascetic view of the value of material goods? Since they reject most conventional mores and values and give cold shoulder to peer judgement, you cannot convince a Cynic that they need to go into debt in order to flaunt the newest sports car, the gaudiest mansion, the trendiest clothes, the finest organic produce, the latest slavetronic device. An economy that has been reduced almost entirely to the marketing, sales, and financing of foreign-produced veblen and positional goods couldn't operate for long if the lucidity of Cynicism began to edge out the existent bipolar form of for sale pseudo-hedonism. And you can't bullshit Cynics, they speak truth to power and would rather die like dogs than live as kept NSA pets. A Cynic doesn't care about someones 'position', credentials, authoritas, or privileges doled out from some self-selected group from on high (hello Fed, World Bank, IMF, BIS, and associated cronies), and will assiduously poke holes in the unnatural pecking order. Yes Obama, earn your presidential salary and rail against Cynics, for they do not make good little serfs for your puppet masters!
From Cynics of B.C. thousands of years ago, thousands of years.
To the question what wine he found pleasant to drink, he replied, "That for which other people pay."
Diogenes Laërtius, vi. 54
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Diogenes_of_Sinope
No worries, he doesn't believe in voting.
I'd rather be mad than feel pleasure.
I can't stand to listen to his voice, did he mention anything about the chocolate rations going up?
"The crisis in 2008 hurt us all badly"
It didn't hurt the elites in Washington D.C. or elsewhere. Since 2009, President Obama in particular, has been living like a king.
And that got extended paid vacation time during the govmint shutdown.
911 hurt us all badly
reality died that day...
"some of it had to do with decisions we made to build our economy on a new foundation."
Quicksand
I think he was talking about the immigrant processing industry. Why should the coyotes make all the money? From what I am hearing in ultra liberal Massachusetts is that we can spare no expense to house, feed, cloth, and educate these kids coming in. Business to suck this money up are springing up near the border.
"The statement I'm making is not a partisan statement, it is a statement of fact. (Applause.) So far this year, Republicans in Congress have blocked or voted down every serious idea to strengthen the middle class."
That is a partisan statement. Obama said he was going to fundamentally change the U.S. Obama wants to turn the U.S. into France or Venezuela, neither of which is doing well economically.
"We know from our history, our economy does not grow from the top down, it grows from the middle up. It grows from a rising, thriving middle class."
Phoney sloganeering. Phoney sloganeering does not produce a rising, thriving middleclass.
"Let's rally around a patriotism that says we're stronger as a nation when we cultivate the ingenuity and talent of every American, and give every 4-year-old in America access to high-quality education -- good-quality preschool."
Eliminate the teachers unions, so that the focus is on the children, where it belongs.
"Let's embrace the patriotism that says it's a good thing when our fellow citizens have health care. It's not a bad thing. (Applause.) That's not a bad thing. It's a good thing when women earn what men do for the same work."
The White House pays women staffers less.
Health care has nothing to do with patriotism.
"You're going to sue me for doing my job? Okay."
Your job is faithfully executing the laws. Not one banker has been criminally prosecuted for participating in massive felony financial fraud.
Neither is the ACA being faithfully executed as congress wrote it.
Give it a rest Montkel Cadet...aka...Flipper
I’m pretty sure his job description is: “DO AS WE TELL YOU!” – signed by some no-name clerk of the banking cartel (Obama is just another serf with a paycheck a little higher than most).
Fuck this clown. He makes me sick to my stomach. I am waiting for a giant shoe from the heavens to step on this roach.
Hopey from that slow seventh dwarf.
So who actually was able to read the whole thing?
Good thing for bold text.
Someone needs to calm this idiot down. TOTUS is completely out of control. He needs to be put in " time out".
Excuse me whilst I watch Japan melt down. Ohh, and China trying to "fix" the yuan higher vs usd is another joke!
Hell, I dont mind that stupid people can vote
Hell I dont mind if the corrupt and the criminal can vote
Hell, I dont mind if gays and faggots can vote
Hell I dont mind if blacks can vote
Hell I dont even mind if morons can vote
Hell I dont mind if even the most retarded cretins on the planet can vote
Hell I done even care if they give the vote to muslims
Hell I dont care if they give the vote to Afghan musims carrying AK's
Hell I dont care if they give the vote to Kenyans
Hell I dont even care if they give the vote to donkeys
Hell, not even monkeys
But that is when it truly does get to be hell
But when the above vote in a fucking retarded corrupt Kenyan faggot monkey thats black and a fucking muslim fanatic too
That is not a hell I want to be in.
There’re sad tendencies on Zerohedge – and many other ‘in-the-know’-forums around the Internet. The ‘divide and conquer’-strategy (as famously described by Machiavelli himself) seems to work.
There’s no reason to separate people in classes, religions, sexual orientation, political ideologies or what other label you can find…
Start judging (if you need) people on their actions – one by one and not whole groups.
Just as important: THERE ARE NO REAL DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS IN THE USA! It’s a farce – a theatre – a façade – a ceremony…
The ‘results’ of the ‘election’ is predetermined by the same elite that controls whoever is ‘elected’.
Mrs Atomizer calls the President of United States of America a knuckle dragging ape. If I said it, racism. You should hear her opinions on India. Fuck off political correctness stools.
Can you stop spying on us all? That'd be a good start.
"Si se puede" = "If you can"
The audio is even funnier because you hear the tepid, delayed applause that occurred in those "[Applause]" parts of the transcript. He's in flerking Austin, a dark blue speck in the middle of Texas, in front of a hand picked audience with several probable plants (the Si Se Puede person, for example)... and the audience still has to be cued to applause.
Patriotism, hope, and change, with what money, President Obama?
The United States of America is not investing in 'hope', 'change', or
'patriotism'. What is 'patriotic' about the 'Fed'? Where is the 'hope'
in that? And when will the Democratic party return the USA to a gold standard that does not make a mockery of American currency worldwide?
When, O'Bummer? When?
I'll tell you what, baby boomers suck balls! This guy qualifies as a baby boomer in my book. America will recover from this baby boomer infestation we just have to wait until "The Worst Generation" dies off.
Pardon my cynicism, but fuck the hell off Obama, you incompetent fraud, you jackass, you clown
Sounds like a repeat to me:
"We must devote special attention to the problems of those on the margins, those lacking adequate food or shelter, those addicted or mentally ill, those whose neighborhoods have been decimated by crime...It's not enough to give them justice. We must also give them hope" - George Bush on the American Poor
"Like, hey man, stop hating on a brother already."
We see them lips moving Bazza. We see them.
Not a single mention of electrolytes, where's the hope in that? I can't believe I missed 20 minutes of Ow! My balls! For this.
Wow, so many so virulently angry.
And the quality of the commentary - my how this country has descended, how the dialogue has debased even itself.
I personally never made so much $$ as I am in this presidency.
All you have to do is see where it's going then steer your little canoe that way.
Or kick & scream when the wave washes over you.
Many prefer that to a little mental effort.
'Be right' and bitch.
Same as it ever was.
re I personally never made so much $$ as I am in this presidency.
Are you obama's golf caddy?
Lol. What a prick.
I wonder how much power the President actually has. I think Bush the elder was probably connected enough to the deep state and spooks to basically do his own thing, which of course, was not at all the same thing as ruling primarily for the benefit of the American people.
But his son seems to have clearly been a puppet, and on the morning of 9/11 we saw him pushed aside as Cheney and Rumsfeld took charge... of the norad stand down and the like... while the usual suspects were on tv in a matter of days talking about Iraq as well as bin Laden.
Obama talked a great game and went ahead and continued Bush policies, breaking so many of his own campaign promises in the process you have to think he never meant a word of it. His chief of staff, and his advisors and appointees were wildly disproportionately Jewish and Zionist - yet the "secret Muslim" meme followed him around in a way that made little apparent sense unless you were so obtuse as to think not doing *everything* Netanyahu or the Zio 5th Column wanted made him 'anti-Israel'.
Surely, his regime is not identical to Bush in enough ways as to make him seem different if you focus only on things like rhetoric about entitlements and "community" and the morality of explicitly limitless federal power and spending.
But it seems to me that "President Obama" is beholden to powers behind the throne, competing centers of power, and may have actually had the spine to resist the ceaseless, reckless warmongering of the neocons as to Iran, and at least was not so cavalier as to go against the intelligence community and military as to using the sarin false flag in Syria as the excuse to assist the liver-eaters in further cleansing the land of Christians and destroying any chance of an Iran to Iraq to Syria pipeline... a pipeline which seems all but impossible now, and wouldn't you know, Israel has its own giant gas field in the eastern Med, and they'll be happy to also help themselves to what should legally be Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian gas, and sell it to Europe.
It is of course impossible to know what is really going on, the best one can do is ask "who benefits" from what the government does and does not do. It seems clear that its actions are scarecely ever intended to promote the long term well being of the middle class, let alone small business, let alone any chance for diplomacy.
And for all the bitching and theories about the powers behind the government, we still have elections, and however rigged, tens of millions of Americans are going to vote for an awful Republican, while more will vote for the even more awful Hillary Clinton.
Such an electorate, it could be argued, simply deserves what it is going to get.
I wish he "had time" for one more question:
"Mr. President, thanks for your references today to (Alfred) Kinsey. Fashionista, Joan Rivers, has revealed that you are married to a tranny. Thanks for your courage, sir! In the Kinsey spirit, would you describe her as more of a 'four on the floor', or a three on the tree, or a deuce in the caboose?"
I sometimes think, if Kennedy was so bad they shot him in Dallas, how is this guy still walking around.spewing ignorant.drivel without consequence?
A.total national disgrace this Kenyan pretender is. I pray he has.the same brain stroke Kennedy had, but hold off.on the pomp.and circumstance.during the burial at.sea.in the.Islamic tradition.
This guy is another Nicholas II. Hopefully....
Because Kennedy was CIA'd because he wasn't playing ball.
You hope he'll be killed by Wall Street financed Jews, do you?
The dozens he's had as advisors and appointed to the irs, treasury, fdic, cftc, commerce, council of economic advisors, fed, and elsewhere, or different ones? Maybe some of Nutty Yahoo's ultra ultra ziopaths?
Do you think they'll stop at the King this time?
Wow! Look what happens when Obama takes a double toke on the Hopium pipe!
The near decade-long campaign continues.
I wish people would quit encouraging this lying, projecting, narcissistic, delusional fuck. This particular figure has the potential to keep his base whipped up and 'organized' for the rest of his life. Don't think for a minute that tptb haven't taken that into consideration.
God save us all from what has been created
So if you look at Drudge and the top story, it has a picture of Obama and he's making the Texas Longhorn sign with his left hand. Now I'm not aware of any ties Zero has with Texas other than playing pool. Is it just paranoia or can someone explain why politicians like to shoot that same sign because I'm not aware of seeing anyone make it in everday life apart from those parasites?
To put it in new zh religious pontification terms, it means Noah's boat is big, but it ain't THAT big.
You weren't invited.
It's the sign of Satan.
Satan's horns.
He worships Satan.
The next general elections in Canada, are being set up to have Trudeau II against the current Prime Minister Harper. Trudeau II is already imitating the previous Obama campaigns. At the most recent Canadian Liberal Party convention Larry Summers was the keynote speaker just before Trudeau II, promoting the basic idea that "debt is good," which is currently working because Canadians are still IN THEIR BUBBLE.
The most tragic aspect of this kind of bullshit political performance is that it works, over and over again. According to opinions polls, etc., Canada is set to swing back from Puppet In Blue, to Puppet In Red, while nothing really changes, except for whom is able to deliver their credible performances as the best professional liar and immaculate hypocrites.
The biggest feature in the Word Cloud presentation of the transcript of this recent speech by Obama was APPLAUSE. Too bad, so sad! I wish that I could form my opinion based only upon the adults, who are incompetent political idiots, or Zombie Sheeple, to applaud the performance of an excellent liar: "preach from a teleprompter."
IF it were only the adults that were fooled enough, enough of the time, then I would regard their betrayal to be what they deserved for being so abysmally ignorant, as muppets applauding the performance of puppets. However, I always remember that the people who will suffer the worst from all the belated consequences of being tricked and betrayed by the politicians who are the best professional liars and hypocrites, because that WORKED to make them be popular, will be the children, or those not yet born.
I WISH that I could forget that the worst things that Obama is doing:

would end up only screwing those who he was able to fool. However, in fact, it is certainly going to be younger people who will suffer the most from the triumphs of the best liars driving society into the ground, to crash and burn upon them. I wish that it was only the idiot adults, so that then I could say that they deserved it. However, it will be innocent children that will eventually suffer the most from guys like Obama being such excellent professional liars and immaculate hypocrites, who are successful because enough voters are incompetent idiots, and within the established systems, there are never any genuine better choices to be made, but only rather different political puppets, who always are merely bad versus worse.
The word cloud says it all. What a joke.
Is it true what Joan Rivers said?
Perhaps, BO (dog) is the staple to follow. Michelle washes BO's balls and Obama keeps his rectum clean. Benefits of owning a pet.
How to help me?

Nero played the lyre while Rome burned.
Our own Nero can only play the liar
Just read the Drudge headlines. Fuck you Obama. Welcome to the Nixon era.. you're screwed.
I have no fear left, only the feeling I am about to meet my ancestors in the sky
Yeah Joan Rivers said it. When the tribe goes against you, you know the info is so real they have to make a move.
007 is having a problem ...... double posts
BO has it! .... almost. He just got hope mixed up with its opposite: despair
The amoral ****
Let's regulate the shit out of cynism!
Your president may actually have a point with this.
So, Obama is saying, I'm the good guy, I'm the only one helping you against all the bad Republicans who are out to starve and kill you, if it was not for me saving you guys things would be a lot worse.....wow!, what a guy!how did we ever manage without him?
Fuckbama.......
Being the douchebag we've all come to know and fuckin hate
Cunt
The "crowds" are laced with idiots, fuckheads, takers, fellow cunts and assholes.
Obama"I will keep asking the same question, and that is, how can I help you? "
Answer. Don't "help", just do nothing, go away and the self reliant will do their part by forgetting you.
Hopey doesn't quite work when someone has their boot heel planted in your face...
I'm from the government, and here to help.
RUN, FOREST, RUN!!!
"I'm just telling the truth now. I don't have to run for office again, so I can just let her rip"
Ergo - "I lied to get into office".
[From Wikipedia]: “Cynicism (Greek: ????????) is a school of ancient Greek philosophy as practiced by the Cynics (Greek: ???????, Latin: Cynici ). For the Cynics, the purpose of life was to live in virtue, in agreement with nature. As reasoning creatures, people could gain happiness by rigorous training and by living in a way which was natural for humans, rejecting all conventional desires for wealth, power, sex, and fame. Instead, they were to lead a simple life free from all possessions. [my emphasis]”
I see why he – as a serf of his financial/bankster overlords – apposes cynicism.
Shall we carbon tax Obama ripping a fart, which is causing global disruptions?
The Teflon Tyrant was the perfect description of this man from this website last week. He's the ultimate cynic because he casts aside the most empowering and successful political document -- known as the US Constitution -- in history, in favor of the cynicism of his dictatorial edicts. He's the example of cynicism. He's President Cynical!
if politics were vaudville we would have already seen the HOOK.......
more oil (despite government efforts to the contrary) from the private sector.. the one he is out to destroy
do their job (let me have my muslim mulatto commie way on everything) hey O your diaper needs changing
based on O's performance as president.... we could save a shitload of $$$ on fundraisers, vacations, golf and dog handlers ... if we let DISNEY create an Obama automaton.... MAYBE THEY ALREADY DID.......
Obama, pay attention: http://www.encounterbooks.com/books/please-stop-helping-us-how-liberals-make-it-harder-for-blacks-to-succeed/
Obama just told everyone to swallow.
His propaganda rants are more and more like A. Dolf and Benito. If the jack-boot fits, wear it!
He didn't tell his audience of sycophant fools he and Moochelle and the kids are getting ready to spend 15 days on Martha's Vineyard at hard working taxpayer expense.
Suckers!
"Hope and change" became "hoax and chains". And still, many haven't learned their lessons.
One of the lessons of history is that we've learned nothing from the lessons of history.
One phrase he never uses is: "would I lie to you?"
"Don't get cynical. Give me a BJ, USA!"
You fuckers are sooo stupid, you just sit back and watch while my Comancheros invade your country, spread disease, kill you with DUIs and rape your women."
"Where is your Vaunted Army you hold soooo dear? Huh? Where are those men who swore to uphold your shit-wipe "constitution?"
"Hahahhah, I shit on you, fuckers!"
"You do Nothing. You deserve Everything I am going to be ordered to do to you, hahahhaha!"
"I love being Valerie's Puppet!! Reggie! Load up the crack pipe!"
Well that's just great. Hope cannot be deposited into our accounts and pay the mortgage.
What a wonderful speech and wonderful man. How ungrateful we all are for not recognizing that he is doing the lords work in fundamentally changing this once great country.
Shame on us all.......
