FORWARD, MY LITTLE LEMMINGS!
Comments on the "wallpaper people" behind O are mandatory here to fully enjoy the event.
he's in "golden" valley MN.....any chance?
Hail to the thief.
I'm going to shoot my little round thermostat.
diversity fail. no asians or latinos in the immediate background. Also older looking crown, not enough young people.
'The car manufactoring industry has come roaring back?'
Pardon me?
YEa - Ask the GM workers from the plant in Ontario whos CAW President has just announced this afternoon to his membership that 2,000 jobs are being axed in June 2013.
They are cancelling the Equinox and Impala lines.
Thanks to Tyler and ZH for showing us the real numbers and how all that GM stuffing manipulation/perversion works.
- The President of the United States of America, Barrack H. Obama, June 1st, 2012
Had to give you a Red Arrow down, BLOTTO.
What you said was incorrect. They will be shuttering some, if not all production in the Oshwa plant, that is true. But the Equinox and Impala lines are not being "cancelled". Those two vehicles will have their production transfered to flex plants in the U.S. Most likely Hamtramack (Spelling?) and the Equinox is being transfered to Spring Hill.
You can thank a not so kind exchange rate as well as the plant itself being dated/non Flex.
There is still an over-capacity problem, especially in Europe (that will eventually become a bloodbath), it isn't as bad as it once was but there will be some more consolidation up ahead for all manufactures around the globe.
But I'm totally with you on thanking ZH for cutting through the channel stuffing and inventory B.S. It's fun when you get to peak behind the curtain.
Is the gray haired guy on O's right Elmer Fudd?
Be vawy vawy qwiet. Tha Pwesident is speaking.
They're busy working their third job at McDonald's to pay their 200k school loans for their communication degrees (minored in Twitter).
I am 15 mi away from golden valley and could smell the bullshit from here.
"fuck, i skipped my lunch break for this"...
Yup, Good work.
The number that are reported are what they are. We know the economy is weak but what can be done to turn it around?
A little light humor..
some remarks about football...
praise for the "outstanding senators"--"outstanding congressional delegation"
all "in the house"...
some wise-guy chuckles
some stories about "folks" he has talked about the "tough economy"
UH oH,
he just said "jobs" twice...
I am startign to get Zucked up!
The interest on national debt that Americans will pay for generations to come is nothing compared to how much laughter will be generated by teaching Obamanomics at the Harvard Business School.
he's missing asian wall decor... Also no Bhurka background
Love the guy with the 'merican flag shirt on. Dude must drink budweiser and shit apple pie!
I am sure he got made fun of. Who wears the shirt of the band you are going to see.
Dude on the right with the blue T-shirt and the big buckle looks like a CIA plant...
Anderson Cooper is there?
They act like zoo seals waiting for a fish!
They -are- zoo seals waiting for a fish.
Just wait until he steals their bucket instead!

If I imagine Cleveland from family guy speaking those words, does that make me a racisss?
Why are the bleachers not leaning to the left with the 2 female linebackers all the way over there.
is that short guy Corzine clapping in the background?
Sorry, I already passed out last time.
The most quiet down 300 point day EVER!!!
I would rather watch paint dry than listen to the Pres bloviate about that which he has no clue.
I would rather watch you watch paint dry than listen to him.
Do you realize you're insinuating that AlaricBalth is even less intersting than drying paint with that comment? ;-)
He meant well. Was just bein' honest..
They were chanting "4 more years". I think 12 years of the Bush policies would be enough.
Bilderberg Live Stream
A much more interesting webcast
So... did Soros moon the camera again?
LOL!
Sad thing is Romney has that same model toilet.
Both got it as a campaign contribution from Wall Street, gold plated and installed for free.
Having programs to convert military skills into civilian certifications actually makes sense. We'll see how the actual implementation goes, but it's hard to argue that if someone is a combat medic, they should be able to transfer into being an EMT without having to start from the beginning again.
That would work for MPs too. Of course, seems to be no shortage of jack boots in my neck of the woods.
And yet, the largest segment of the military are, and will be, combat forces.
So, can he tell us how killing people and breaking shit translates to any civilian jobs other than Krugman's window breakers?
Nightclub bouncers, maybe?
And no coincidence that the J.P. Morgue is actively recruiting combat veterans.
Things are bad, let's spend MORE money !??
That is the solution !!??
omg.
And here I was worried about a Minsky Moment silly me.
10 shots for the word muppets.
gambit: if vets aren't hired they will be firing on the front lines in the domestic apocalypse that's now being signaled by the markets today....
i'm losing brain cells at accelerated rate listening to this preacher-man oh my this is some dumb shit....god bless you god bless american home of the shitshow!
The story of O, enough to make a strong man puke.
I've been training my whole life for this!
I've got a Fresca in hand right now, but I'll keep track and make up for it tonight ...
I'll see your Fresca and raise you a Tab.
hopefully you are hiding it if it is over 16oz and you are in NYC. King Bloomberg will send the pop police out after you.
I am sitting with my BUY finger over UNG "just in case"
Jeez I almost panicked - I pushed pause three times and it didn't pause -- I almost had to hear it!
Whatever you do, don't post!!! It resets the pause button and you get ambushed!!!
Can't get my eyes off the fat lady in the green shirt on the bottom left, I know she is running the show and has everything fixed. Probably a deep thinker in skeptical epistemology as well as on the relationships between production capacity and money.
Seriously though. They shouldn't not have autoplay on these videos. Especially as the campaign picks up over the summer.
Noscript is your friend. You decide what runs and what doesn't.

Starting to get difficult to hide the cracks in the economy.
I know, let's have Mr. O do daily tv appearances again !!
we only see the cracks they want us to see ... wait a minute - that didn't come out right ...
May I point out that there are good cracks and bad cracks?
This is a good crack.
I was wondering why a single plumber on Angie's list got such rave reviews by all the guy reviewers?
<pods runs off to destroy all plumbing under the sink>
CD, You big tease!
I took a picture of Mrs Cog when her back was turned.
Don't tell her I did so or she'll turn off my plumbing access. :>)
...the bread's not really bread anymore, and the circus is getting tiresome. They need to up the ante: Gitmo prison rodeo?
Fuck Obama, I'm not listening to his bullshit anymore
I'd rather shapren a pencil and shove it in my eye
To this Administration that would qualify as jobs 'Saved or Created'; some guy would have to make another pencil, one would have to remove the pencil and stop the bleeding, one would have to make you an eye patch, and one would have to figure out how to avoid paying for it under Obamacare...
Fuck Obama? Not even with Rahm's dick.
I have something more enjoyable to do, get a root canal.
OMFG
Look: a stage, a flag, a figurehead saying "I willl do something..." about the shitstorm falling on the people's heads from the Kleptoligarchy which props the puppet babbling on the stage.
This is hell.
Why can't we fill one of these audiences one day with ZHer's? ...
Excellent idea, get all of us together in an enclosed space. What could possibly go wrong?
Nothing until Trav showed up or the alcohol ran out...
I understand there's a big bash planned in Zuccotti Park by the ZH folks for the Fed's 100 aniversary next year. That should be interesting.
Oh, as if we won't be on lock-down under martial law by then.
If not? Then it's a trap!
Because most of the ZHers are taking sailing lessons since they are awful captains and navigators it would seem.
On second thought, be careful what you ask for, you just might get it (called a FEMA camp).
I have to work tonight. I'm only gonna drink on "green shoots," "robust economy," "spending cuts" and "bright future"....
dude ... you're going to be too wasted to get the key into the ignition ...
That's what the built-in breathalizer is for. If you're too drunk to get the key in the ignition, just breath into it, car starts right up. ...wait
Shit. I know shit's bad right now, with all that starving bullshit, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution.
I hope his genius isn't named Dimon...
Not Sure
Maybe he's set to annouce leg 2 of Joe Biden's Summer of Recovey tour, opening in Europe.
Audio is on mute but let me take a stab at the transcript:
Bush.....Congress.....fair share.....shared sacrifice.....something unintelligble about white people or white house (see Richard Pryor).....bush.....inherit.....fire that dumb bitch Solis (hot mic)...
How did I do?
FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!
four more years was chanted by the MN crowd. electing al franken and amy kloubachar, and mark dayton governor? There IS something in the MN water. I drink bottled water from out of state. I swear the people in MN are poisoned.
You are absolutely correct:

May I instead suggest this startling bit of foresight from 35 years ago?
Comic relief puppet shows today gets better and better hahahaha
http://youtu.be/OaWzyosrQ6E
Joe LaWronga on CNBC asked "what's he smoking" with his view on the economy. Also, found a "silver lining" in the BLS report. Man, this dude should be banned from tv.
dude in the back stole your avatar!! CHUG!!
By coincidence you can see each ethnic group represented in the black ground.
Love that song, it reminds me of the movie 'Animal House'
The ToTUS has shown himself time and again to be a liar and a fraud. How many chances does he expect people to give him?
Maybe he is expecting a high turn-out from the zombie vote to give him another term.
Braaaainnnzzzz!!
And give yourself a round of applause for a great round of applause!
I don't have nearly enough alcohol on hand to watch this! I think I'm just going to hit myself in the head with a rubber mallet on the keywords...eventually I'll be capable of running for Congress!
Slayer goes to church- "Angel of Death"

When I was young and read history I wondered how it was possible that so many went to riots or battle or otherwise died for monarchs, viziers, sultans, and warlords.
Then I grew up and watched Americans fawn, prattle, and waggle after politicians with slick tongues spouting a ream of bullshit and it became clear.
Is it just me or does it look like the speech was given in front of a "blue screen" crowd? I hate to say it, but that would be typical...
... why would they position the crowd behind the podium?
Psychological manipulation of the live and T.V. audience.
The Sheeple need the prompt to "see" themselves on the stage "with" Obummer; therefore, they will believe what he says and support him.
Anyone showing up with that clown is already 2 quarts short of a gallon; but the little tricks like a backdrop of other sheeple of varying genders, races, colors, and costumes lets the malleable "see" themselves and helps to eliminate doubt or questioning about what is being said (or not said).
Rage is beginning to boil... better turn this blowhard off.
I drink at "folks."
Dangerous word to drink on: Das Volk. He is using it nearly every 3rd sentence.
The cocky swagger is gone.
Dude is a limp dick.
The guy is just so dull and predictable. Like watching a half rate comedian on tour, who doesn't know what city he's in. Fill in the blank regional platitudes. At least Clinton was original and entertaining. Don't get me wrong they are both evil MF'ers.
The master and his demons take a heavy toll on the body ... and soul.
The fat lady in the green dress just farted
I saw her lift up and let it slip out,
How fucking stupid are these idiots clapping for this clown?
Keep in mind the whole thing could be fake. The crowd could be like a laugh track inserted on a blue screen and the speech is timed to coincide with the claps.
How 'bout that phoney Selective Service registration, you piece of shit?
Here's a look at the size of the national debt (red line) vs. the yield on the 10-year (blue line) going back to the late 1960s.
http://www.businessinsider.com/what-the-collapse-in-interest-means-2012-...Being not a US-American I'm asking myself, if there are really US-Americans that see this speech and don't recognize the sequence of phrases and platitudes read from a telepromter and written by spin-doctors? Do people really fall victim to such a ridiculous theatre?
some do, yes
Most americans either have it paused till it is over or it is on mute.
Well, hopefully I am not alone.
Unfortunately, many, many Americans are just fuckin' stupid and eat this shit up like it was their favorite ice cream.
Gawd, we're fucked.
LOL!
Just brilliant.
Teachers & firefighters and roads & bridges appear in every speech.
Yeah, what is it with Firefighters (I think we have plenty - haven't seen any city-wide conflagrations)? Also why the unthinking praise for Firefighters? They sit around on their asses and amass huge pensions - every once in awhile they have to spray some water on a fire - big fucking deal. The truth is there are so many people who want to fight fires that we have VOLUNTEER FIRE departments - I drive by two every day on my way to work. Work where I actually have to work most of the day, not just rub down the chrome on a fucking fire truck and eat meatballs. Fuck firefighters.
Obama:
"We need a law to put teachers, firefighters back to work"
How about:
"We need a law to put gov't out of work so that capital will be properly allocated by the market back to teachers and firefighters"
gov't does not, should not, and MUST NOT allocate capital. Why is Obama too stupid to understand this?
Markets rule all- including those who call themselves the "rulers"
How about we get rid of all firefighters. We spend more money on firefighters payroll, medical and pensions than it would cost to let the all the buildings that catch fire burn to the ground and rebuild completely. We could keep the EMT side of the business and just respond to injury calls. Before you go nuts calling this unpatriotic just look at the numbers and think about it. We spend billions of dollars on payroll and benefits to guys that sit around all day and text their girlfiends, arm wrestle and run their home remodeling business on the taxpayers dime. Its not that expensive to rebuild a building and modern buildings are almost fireproof.
I like it...
"We need a law to put teachers, firefighters back to work"
Hey, kids. In today's class we will learn how to commit arson, won't that be fun! It's also good for the economy! And don't forget, there's a quiz tomorrow on the efficiacy of broken windows as a means to infinite GDP!
Obama: "Layoffs at the state and local level are a problem. But its a problem we can fix"
Thinks to oneself instantly: "How, by throwing money at the problem?"
Obama: "Congress can pass a bill now to put workers back to work."
Thinks to oneself in a depressed manner: "shit, I need a drink."
-------------
Obama just called for more alternative energy tax credits.... thinks to oneself: "shit, I need another drink."
THINGAMINGCHING !!!!!.......any time he goes off the teleprompter, he is a mess !!
Why are these people clapping?
They get a fish if they do.
Well played...
Gold over $1620 during speech, right at "thingamajig for your furnace".
why is the song "Hey! Big spender ..." going through my head? ...
"Moving expences for jobs coming back to America"
That's funny Dick.
I went away for a minute, did I miss anything? Is everything better now?
Oh shit, it reset!
Yea, Yea, Yea
In the background bunch of hungry, lemmings without any prospects whatsoever.
He should ask the audience: Can we screw economy even more?
And the answer is:
YES WE CAN ;)
We have a president who doesn't know what a thermostat is and he's at Honeywell
short honeywell, they now have the stink on em. now where did i put my honeyweiss?
Skills? Like murdering Afhghan children?
Hey, he's got his sleeves rolled up, what more could we ask of him?
Hold on, I see some cum stains on his shirt. Must be Bernanke's. I feel better now, does Ben? Print baby print.
I get so god damn sick of hearing "Cops, Firefighters, teachers and Children"
what? they are the key to our economy! haha
Why does he mention them? They haven't been nationalized into federal employees, YET.
Most fire departments are VOLUNTEER local, run by a paid captain. yes, they qualify for various pensions over the years but at least that is up the cities to decide.
You would pass out when drinking on "leadership". I think that is his favorite memo.
P.S. While I was clicking on stop, I heard him promising more jobs *snicker snicker*
RUMOUR HAS IT -> MORGAN STANLEY AND JP DOOMES TO FAIL - IMPLIED VOL CLOSED TO 70% FOR THE FORMER
I think it is still stuck Ted.
He picks/plays with his nose a lot.
He did a bump before going on stage.
Choom Gang!!
Boycott Honeywell
Buy Chinese ...
Yeah, HE celebrated Memorial Day...by keeping Vets and their families away from the Vietnam War Memorial for hours on end, so he could give a campaign speech...

looks like the coke, is starting to make Obamas nose run
