The Game Of The State Of The Union

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While watching the live-stream of Obama's third State Of The Union speech here, why not enjoy BNP's 'p(o)ints game'?

 

Thanks to BNP's Bricklin Dwyer for the 'game' below and for noting that Obama's approval rating is 44% (approval has tracked the stock market/GDP higher since October's sub-40% trough) versus a disapproval rating of 47%.

For those looking for the over/under on the speech length, Obama's speeches have averaged 1:05:27 (and average only beaten by Clinton)

Full text of speech to follow...

I'm hearing the word "should" a lot.

I recommend that you divert half of your deficit spending and use that money to pay down the debt.

The leader is giving a very eloquent speech tonight. Very well done. His popularity will rise greatly after all the reassurance and big plans delivered so nicely. A strong far reaching federal government makes them feel comfortable and safe. He is sure to be re-elected.

Obama: I love talking in circles.. You'll learn about our new fraud based on Bassell III. We established FinCEN to help you before. We lied and need more drama to suck you dry.

 This Monkey is doing the " End Around"! Jobs were off- shored over taxes and regulations. ( Liberal)

 The same Monkey wants jobs back to fund the machine.

"Send me a bill that stops Congress from insider trading."

I think that was Harry Reid crying.

Looking at the last proposal, it only stated at what point in during talks will the subject'possible' dirivitives be excluded from being traded. At no point did it address 'if you tell me about yous, I'll tell you about mine' in the exchange of info between Reps. Nor was there any teeth provided to go off shore to inspect trading records.

So, like everything else from Obama... B.S. sound bites.

financial crimes unit OMG insider trading for congress & Do my ears deceive me or did Obama say no more bailouts for big banks? Wow he said hold bankers accountable- be still my heart. Sure ill believe corporations are people too when one of them goes to jail and/or obama lets Goldman or JP morgan go citibank go as bankrupt as Lehman.

     Lip service just lost you Jamie Dimon's vote as per his interview today w/ Charles Gasparino on FBN. Dimon said Obama's anti-banker rhetoric is a form of discrimination against bankers (snigger)

If I had to go home to a fat assed, angry black woman I would probably try to stretch the speech out as long as possible and hope that she went to bed by the time I got there.

I'm confused I thought HER ass was normal. Are we comparing macburgers and double macs or double macs and quadruple macs?

How do you expect to get America to slim if your state of Union is about munching double portions after having pinched quadruple portions in office?

"No option off the table" will lead to WWIII of course.  Then he'll get the consolidated power his puppet masters want him to have without a fight.

I would have watched the State of the Union address... but I hate fairy tales, being lied to, being talked down to, and generally having my intelligence insulted.

In the world as it was created, all blessing comes from the land. In the world that the Federal corporation is reconstructing, all blessing comes through the bureaucracy. If someone is a U. S. citizen, they are created by the State. The Federal corporation is their god. I especially enjoyed the "all for one, and one for none" tone of the speech.

you know who gets me every time I see her face? Hillary. there is just something downright unsetteling about that one. whenever I see her she's got this look on her face like she's thinking about the six pack of children she's going to eat when she get's home.  the TOTUS may be a soulless suit, but Hillary just oozes this psychopathic, evil,destroyer of worlds vibe.

I may despise the likes of Obama, Mittens and the man whore Newt, but Hillary, that bitch just scares me.

The only reason he keeps Hitlary around is because after comparing the size of her ass, it makes Moochelle's look normal.  That thing probably measures 40 axe handles across.

After listening to this wonderful pep talk by our elected leader, I am more convinced than ever that he is just the right fellow for the times...just what we really need to help dig out of our debt predicament....lucky us....I will answer the call and report to my local Acorn office to do my part in getting him re-elected.

The very best State of the Union Game is to listen until the first lie, then just turn it off. This saves a great deal of tiime in one's life. This speech, for example, would have been terminated after the third sentence: the one about having made the country safer and our reputation stronger.
