Obama Comes Clean
In a strange coincidence, President Obama, as reported by Bloomberg, just followed Mario Monti's new normal and 'came clean' about the real state of the economy, following his earlier snafu:
- *OBAMA SAYS `ABSOLUTELY CLEAR' ECONOMY NOT FINE, AP SAYS
- *AP SAYS OBAMA SEEKS TO CLARIFY PRIVATE SECTOR REMARKS
The President went on to say that he knows the economy "needs to be strengthened" while clinging to his basic belief that there has been some momentum. Is 'truth' the new 'lie'? Or did hope and change just change on less hope?

"Speaking from the Choom-wagon"
Yeah it's clear alright. CRYSTAL clear.
We can't handle the truth?
" OBAMA COMES CLEAN " huh ? That's not what Larry Sinclair claims ! ! !http://www.wnd.com/2008/02/56626/
McCoy: [talking about Norman] There's something wrong about a man who never smiles, and whose conversation never varies from the routine of the job, and who won't talk about his background.
Spock: I see.
McCoy: Spock... I mean, that it's, uh... it's odd for a non-Vulcan. Um... the ears make all the difference.
Captain Kirk: Everything Harry tells you is a lie. Remember that. Everything Harry tells you is a lie.
Harcourt Fenton Mudd: Now listen to this carefully, Norman. I am... lying.
Norman: You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie, then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because everything you say is a lie, but you lie... You tell the truth but you cannot for you lie... illogical! Illogical! Please explain! You are human. Only humans can explain their behavior! Please explain!
Captain Kirk: [giving him the same statement the androids have repeatedly given him several times before] I am not programmed to respond in that area.
When I said everything is really OK, I meant that everything as I know it and believe me, I know everything, is fine and dandy. The seats on OurForceWon are still leather, no graffiti on the walls or carpet, the white folks who wait on me hand and foot are still pleasant, nobody's threatened anyone else, there's still plenty of food and booze, people beg for my attention for highly important matters of state, we have plenty of time for MSNBC, Sports Desk and reruns of drone strikes, the kids play with that fucking big ass purebred dog that Kennedy rescued form the pound for me which sheds the shit all over, all my closest personal friends from Hollywood come to entertain me, the captains of industry fawn to be around me for the few moments of their fame because of me, the car service is punctual, the gardens well tended, I can and do say anything I damned well please and nobody but that fuck Limbaugh messes with me and he'll get his with a royal drone strike and my people still love me.
And I still am still the fucking chief of the most powerful nation on earth.
Everything's fine.
Exactly, as far as POTUS is concerned, his number of vacations has gone up significantly over the past 4 years, same for golfing, dinners and family relaxation time. Best of all he hasn't had to pay for his family's fun time. Life is good, what are you rubes complaining about?
Oh, yeah, like I need a fucking news story to know we're not doing fine. What a boob.
Who knew bankster cock could be so sour?
Useless tool...
Ever heard the saying, "Hope springs eternal".
" ... we're gonna need another four years ..." - Sheriff Brodie, JAWS
But the teleprompter said just the other day that everything was fine, why does the teleprompter now say the economy is bad? Something must be wrong with the teleprompter obviously.
Another excerpt from my book, "Lies of the Right":
Chapter 8 - Purism
I believe it was Mark Potock of the Southern Poverty Law Center who coined the term right wing purism.
Purism stems from the arrogant assumption that universal propositions have to be either true or false. That absolutist statements like "taxation is theft" have a Boolean truth value. This is NOT necessarily the case. Propositions can actually be half-way true or a quarter false. Liberals understand this very well, which is why we prefer to talk about the effects of actions rather than the dogmatic principles that classify then as moral or immoral according to libertarian dogma.
SPLC? LOL!
where is max? is he haunting other sites? i think he's timmy...possibly one of his old school chums?
It is a sad stae of affairs when we here are looking for the Old Trolls to make us smile........
We are so FUBAR - Someone PLEASE pull the plug on this maddness so that we may begin the process of cleaningup the mess and rebuilding if we can...........
It's a priviledge to see an artist grow into their art. Your work just keeps getting better MDB :-)
Just to play along, can you give an example of a Liberal "half-truth" or "quarter-truth?"
I think "Barry Soetero is black" is a half truth...
It's the next NAACP ad.......hey he's only half black therefore you can't hold us responsible.
Actually I think he's white but he's so full of shit he looks like he does...
+1 ... and WAY past his eyeballs ...
Smart car.
Car... kinda
Smart... not so much
Oh and Environmental Protection Agency LOL...
Equal rights ROFL
I could play this all night!
Clinton:
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
Department of Defense.
Hmm...colorful, but i don't follow why would you equate libertarians with the "right wing"?
Well, because libertarians openly embrace the "free market" and "capitalism" which are understood by most people to be heartless and criminal. Only a right wing extremist would bring embrace concepts like these that hurt people's feelings.
All I know is that B4 I got married my private sector seemed 2 do a lot better than 2 day.
In Family Feud, when someone gives an answer that is 3-sigma to the downside, there is a pregnant pause before the balance of the distraught family clamors "good answer!" In that spirit and in honor of the late Richard Dawson, I bid you "good answer!"
Sorry, delayed answer, +1 ....
Of course, your statement has only a degree of truth to it. Not the first part--it is utterly true, probably. To some, it is heartless to deny the free exchange of products and criminal to limit one's potential by fiat because THAT would be heartless. And then the final part is utterly false, probably, for left-wing extremeists believe themselves to be good persons by working to homogenize outcomes rather than opportunties......
Does that mean that hurting people's bodies - as opposed to feelings - is the domain of left wing extremists? Come to think of it, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler - all socialists, all murderers of millions.
Actually Hitler is an anti-socialist Eugenicist (can't ever be both at the same time, eugenics and socialist) and Mao is a central-control communist (which is not socialist).
Pol Pot is a puppet warlord propped up by the USA to hit Cambodia for no good reason at all but "prevention" of "Communism"
Stalin is a right-wing Fascist, no left-wing to speak of there. Not a drop of it.
+- 1; torn on this one so no overall score...
Hurting my feelings with your sarcasm.
Criminal- only in a liberal fantasy world.
Heartless- I hope so. Who but a full retard would want emotion or feeling to play heavily into a free market?
But...I don't understand why anyone associates elitist socialism in any of its forms - communism, progressivism, fascism, national socialism, liberalism, corporatism, etc. - with the "right wing". Clearly libertarians are not "left wing", and if you do not understand why one would equate them with the "right wing", just where on the (stupid) left-right scale would you put them? Off in left field?
Famous libertarian Adolf Hitler was a menber of the Bavarian Soviet in 1918. But Stalin said he was right wing and that's that.
Psychotherapy fail huh?
The political spectrum has more than one dimension!
Normally I don't feed f**king idiot trolls.
Well, everything is relative, don't ya know? There is no black or white, just countless shades of grey. etc etc etc blablabla
Did he just explain why Obama has no prinviples?
You've got a book? Nice, I was running low on ass wiping material... I'm just trying to save a tree...
Does anyone else find law and poverty together in the organization's name as ironic and contradictory?
Obama doesn't understand the truth
Obama opens mouth and inserts foot vigorously! Incompetency on parade!
best line today... here have another greenie..
The Choom-wagon has been refurbished for the election campaign.
It's now known as The Bath Salts Bus
It's now known as The Bath Salts Bus
...partnering with Goldman Sacks.....we're gonna rip you eyeballs out Muppets!
Chewbacca must have beat the shit out of him
Give Obama a break. He just seasonally adjusted his statement and revised it downward a bit.
Probably because of the rapid-response ridicule from his opponents, Clinton and Romney.
In a way, i have found Clinton sympathetic. He combines the high browed intellectual and the backhanded saboteur nicely.
LOL!
Ah Bill Clinton, the gift that keeps on giving... If he keeps knee cappin' BO like this, Hillary just might give him his dick back!
"is there truth in the new lie?"
no, but there's lies in the new truth
...and there lies the truth
They're doing a brainwasher truth/lie mix: Europe is in deep sh*t thus Europe needs more Europe
IMO, anything said today by obummer is merely a headfake to help the EU and the "market" buy some time on a Friday. Back to plans of plans of meetings and summits...wash, rinse, repeat.
Hillary is playing around with the teleprompter.
Slick is sending phony stuff in over his Crackberry.
Dude, I'm not as think as you stoned I am!
"We try to ignore Obama's whiteness, but it's there"
I need some of that Choom. Don't Bogart.
Everything's fine on the million dollar lecture circuit that he can't wait to jump on; that's why he grabbed the job, don't cha know.

Both YouTube videos linked above (in succession) comprise a brilliant exchange between Max Keiser and Hugo Salinas Price. Everyone should watch this.
RATS! Tried to sneak past 'em, but you caught me.
Is 'truth' the new 'lie'? Or did hope and change just change on less hope?
No its called SUCKING UP.
Clarify his remarks, is just his way of saying let me lie a different way.
Way past time to try and BS EVEN the sheeple.............we are living it.
Folders coffee sales volume down 8% ... Jif Peanut Butter down some 25% ..volume. But them profits are up at Smucker. So yes, private sector is doing just fine but average joe can no longer afford a cup of joe.
From realUNclearpolitics.com
President Obama:
The truth of the matter is that, as I said, we created 4.3 million jobs over the last 27 months, over 800,000 just this year alone.
The private sector is doing fine. Where we're seeing weaknesses in our economy have to do with state and local government.
So, its the state and local government at fault this time
I don't know where that 4.3 million figure comes from, but at least he managed to help the private sector by adding approximately six times that many people to the food stamp program. That's Nancy Pelosi's kind of economic progress.
Enron accounting. In fact Enron learned it from the Government.
Coming clean? Funny. It still seems like BO to me.
and BS... they are one in the same right?
We are so fucked.
So there might be QE before elections after all...
Some say they are QE-ing already.
When S&P hits 1225. Load up on junior miners.
So it took that moron 3 1/2 years to figure out that the economy is not fine?
Figure out? No. To change his economic message and re-election strategy? Yes.
Nah, he knew it right off the bat. It just took him that long to reprogram the teleprompter.
he figured it out when he looked at his campaign contribution revenue...
need... more.... contributions.... to bomb the slaves with propaganda....
This is Obama's way of pleading for the Ben Bernank to deliver a shot of QE.
slewie thinks it already FED-pre-approved, but only within strict limits
he is gonna send everbuddy a fuking check or i'm not a pi-rat named slewie
it will only be $1000 and it will be bi-partisan, amounting to a coupla/fewHunnyBil, TOPS which will hafta be borrowed but may not hafta be printed, in this market for safe investments
now maybe he can get more thru theCongo; he started at $3000 and has some pretty good negotiating skills; but i think at least $1000 and you can still vote for anybody ya want!
this is a fabulous fiscal foray and zH should support this asinine xtra portion0'alpo2thePeople, which is actually a holdingCompany kick-back based on the low/neg zirpRates, ok?
we ate the fuking peas; now pay us, you shithead!
This is a bad sign for Obama supporters, because offering $1000 to each person is exactly what George McGovern suggested in January, 1972 (give or take a month or two). The only reference I could find was this anti-McGovern ad from the 1972 campaign. http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1972/mcgovern-turnaround
McGovern, of course, got swamped by Richard Nixon. As I watched the ad (I am old enough to have seen it on TV) I was reminded that flip-flopping by politicians is a gift that keeps on giving, even in this new millenium.
Adjusted for inflation, $1000 now is far less than it was in 1972, making Obama a world-class piker as far as promises go. I hope he decides soon: is he a reincarnation of Jimmy Carter or of George McGovern?

are you over 40?
no one much over 40 would try to make such a clueless "point" imo; i'm talking about CHECKS which clear the banks, not some fuking campaign bullshit, son
the last check mailed were from gBush, weren't they? or are you too young for that, too?
if you really are a geezer: try removing yer head from yer ass pretty soon, ok?
Did-cha ever let a fart out at an inopportune time?
or even a wet one?
y'know, the "anal sphincter" is actually the perfect valve. It can pass gas, liquid, and solid phase material in a variety of chemical and biological configurations that corrode lesser materials.
But, well, "inopportune moments" mean it isn't perfect.

I guess O's tongue got tired of lying all the time and the truth just slipped out
Maybe TOTUS turned to the dark, er, Clinton side.
ok
we're pretty clear now that you are here as a republicunt operative
Some Presidents have had bad days
Some President have had bad weeks
Some Presidents have had bad months
No President has ever worked SO HARD and SO LONG to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is a SCOAMF.

Hitler Finds Out Obama Is A Stuttering Clusterfuck Of A Miserable Failure
But you have to admit, he knows how to play a good game of golf all at our expense
Markets don't care...
Rich people like Buffett and Dimon who give to Obama's campaign calling him up:
"What the FUCK are you doing? Don't tell the people we are doing fine! Tell them we need more tax breaks, stimulus, bailouts, and QE3!"
Tell buffet to wake the fuck up. ZIRP is QE!!! No interest means no cost for capital creation you bath-tub prognosticating moron. What is even better is negative bond yields means bond holders are actually paying the givernment and financial fucks (a.k.a. the FED and all CBs) to PRINT.
All your 401k is belong to us!

Here is a better version

Change it to: "Designed in California"
Now that's just downright racist, and an insult to the original Mr. Potatohead
Is that a little shovel he's holding?
not quite ready for the plastic tongue?
How about "Made in Kenya"
Re-Invented in USA
Much better than ChiaObama.
In another strange coincidence, the backers of Romney's campaign are the same entities, corporations, and financiers that got Obama elected in 2008.
Got physical? You better, because I don't see Romeny letting any banks or financial "job creators" on wall street go bust and with negative interest rates on bonds not far off (already on TIPS) the people's retirement plans are paying off that debt. FAIL.
Ron Paul 2012.
In another strange coincidence, the backers of Romney's campaign are the same entities, corporations, and financiers that got Obama elected in 2008.
This is SOP,been this way for every election since I have been around, and thats a lot.
To put it a better way, its CYA, and they are doing it to both parties.
Bank it.
But trust me... the economy WILL be fine if we just spend more money today in exchange for a "glide path" toward less spending tomorrow.
Wimpy would be so proud.

The end of the world is near... The ten plagues of Pharaoh “have been brought upon” the USA.
From the Wall Street Crash of 1929 to the Global Financial Crisis of 2007
http://eamb-ydrohoos.blogspot.com/2010/02/ten-plagues-of-pharaoh.html
.
It is the absolute tragedy for the USA. The former illegal immigrants had become the masters of their land; the ultimate masters. The people who wanted to collaborate with the Jews to become “Pharaohs” had the same bad luck. The greedy “locust” of the Asiatic desert swapped the USA and left absolutely nothing standing. The formerly rich people of the New World have been drained of their money to such a degree that they have passed the point of poverty and are headed towards starvation. The Americans now experience desperation and trust in God. Poor and hungry people gather around the fire to warm and cast their eyes up to heaven as their last hope. These are the former planet leaders...

The end of the world is near? Why didnt Toyota let me know this? I have an oil change appointment for next week.
Romney up 1% over Obama in Michigan?
I didn't think that was possible.
The polls lie. Obama will win re-election.

the way I read that is most intrade bettors agree with me.
Who knows; who cares?
Even money would be $5 per share.

Oh Bummer leading but lower in heavy volume .
With the current conditions there probably wont be elections, just Economic martial law
Thats because all the democrats abandoned the state
This is extra funny because:
Romney Says Obama ‘Out of Touch’ on Strength of Economyhttp://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-08/romney-calls-obama-out-of-touch...
Here is my Fox interview on housing (I was on AFTER Peter Schiff). LOL!
I have linked this to me my comments on Obama's disastrous speech this morning.
http://confoundedinterest.wordpress.com/2012/06/08/geithner-pleads-with-...
Yeah, maybe he can strengthen it with another free trade deal with Nepal, Angola, or whatever god forsaken hell hole is lined up to take American jobs.
Obama may come clean, but it always lands on YOUR face.
And it wasn't his peeps that leaked about STUXNET either.
Bullish!
These "slips" and "tells" are going to become so common that even a moron could see we are doomed. Peeps, you'd better get ready. The big O just said" "American can withstand shocks from Europe". and "Greece will need to endure more pain.", and "American will support Europe." Official denial. Now you know 1) Europe is failing soon, 2) American will be stuffed by same, 3) Greece is the ignition point and 4) Its every economy for itself...
"Mitt Zombie will win," my neighbor says. "He has a stronger chin."
So there!
So long as there are standards...
I'll be a Monkey's Uncle! What a great rating system your neighbor has, John...the size of the....chin.....
So size DOES matter!
It's good strategy for Obama himself to highlight the lousy economy, as it blunts Romney's message. Mitten's attacks will sound like whiny, old news. Watch, it will be Obama running against Wall Street, turning the tables on Mitt, even though Obama will receive record amounts of FRN's from that den of thieves.
my thoughts too. It's almost as if..... it's all one big dishonest game where they make you think the parties are different and that we are not the common enemy to suck dry. - every leader will get exponentially worse until the place blows.
uhoh .... looks like someone is bucking for more QE
he also knows that all of his failure is about to be condensed and reach critical mass into the next fews months of trading and it will allllllllll be under the corporatist media's scrutiny.
helloooooooo President Etch-a-Sketch
as long as India becomes part of the USA then he has a great jobs program
I've waited so long for the H1B program to end.
If everything is fine, there would be no one to blame.
