Watch Live As Obama Says This And That About Jobs

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The T2OTUS (Televangelizing Teleprompter) or just T2, is taking center stage to talk more about his now failed jobs plan, supposedly without cheesy chanting of "pass this bill" this time (however, we won't put readers at risk of alcohol poisoning with another shots challenge - the last time that was the keyword, there were numerous casualties). While it is certain the speech will be filled with class warfare rhetoric, and the usual stuff about how many jobs Obama has "saved or created" we doubt much if anything relevant will be said. As for comedic content.... that's a different story.

On the issue of malfeasance and corruption on Wall Street answer translation: They can't be prosecuted. I'd lose a majority of my campaign funding. Guys, Holder ain't bought off. We have a ton of other BS issues to occupy him, so no worries. Deflecting towards another issue so you forget that I was supposed to address why we failed to redress the issues on Wall Street.  As for the massive screw up under my Green loan...mia culpa, we THOUGHT they were solid, I mean THEY told us they were. We loaned them money because Van Jones - muh brotha man - recommended it to me, so I made sure we looked good to the Goreites. It was a hidden way to make sure future moneys get slid to China. We knew the loan gauruntee program was total shit and the TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING FOR IT ...HAHAHAHA suckers. Some companies did not work out, and the descisions were contemplated for 1.2 nanoseconds, based on how much money I could dump and say "SEE? I support job growth"...blah blah blah

I still wonder where the class warfare comes in, he IS in the class he claims to wish to wage warfare on as are either of the deluded party and their main symps.

 

Even the class warfare/debate(bwhaaaaaaa) has been cheapened and debased (as has the dollha) to the point that it doesn't matter much anymore.

 

 

Just the distant echo from a million years ago when there was a debate beyond cutting up the last piece of Amerikan pie.

Anyone actually read the Occupy Wallstreet manifesto? 

End fossil fuel economy now, forgive all personal and sovereign debt, trillions to be spent on restoring the planet's eco-health etc etc.

These are the same brain-dead cretins that lifted Obama into the WH and would do so again.

Obama should have used Steve Jobs death as an excuse.  He is always great with excuses.

He could have said:  I wish that I could do more about jobs, but there is no more Jobs.

What a mess. House prices down, unemployment claims STILL above 400k. Perhaps he should have focused on jobs when he had both Houses of Congress instead of that stupid healthcare bill and Dodd-Frank.

Blames the bank problems on the Republicans. Forgot Bush. Uses the word transparency regarding Banks. “Historically, Business that rely on new technology need time to get off the ground” forgetting the history of the sky rocket computer boom, and the industrial revolution. DOE made these decisions on their best judgment----- congress set up loan program to make bets. Eager/ready to work with Republicans but their ideas not enough.

 

This man needs a new speech writer. We may need a new man.

So Tyler, since (you seem to believe) the President is responsible for all the evil in the world, please share who in the GOP field you support to replace him (BTW... every one of them is bought and paid for by corporate interests and openly support the continued gutting of the bottom 90% in support of their elite backers)...

Oh wait I forgot the government think infrastructure repair takes 15 guys, a whole lot of coffee, 100 orange cones, 12 months, and $15 million to fix a pothole.

Fuck it I will fix the damn thing myself, other than the fact I'll probably be arrested for not having the right permit and I'll get whacked by Trumka for costing a couple Union guys their jobs.

You may not know it, but Obama and Boehner sure as hell do.

Have you been asleep the last few years?

ALL over the country there are "joint" Homeland Security & Local Cop training.

Our cops are now KILLING people while serving non-support warrants to dead beat dads, with the Feds there.

The law was written/introduced and PASSED by Pelosi, signed into law by Bush, then handed over to Obama who strengthened it.

And really, Martial Law would be easy.  Shut down communications (what, you think GS and Morgan are pouring billions into Twitter and Facebook just to make a buck?  bwaahaaa), close down food stores and sit back to wait for the sheeple to DEMAND it.

We have moved far, far, beyond the historical "rules" and "norms" of our society. 

To think that "it can't happen" is pretty much proof (for me) that it will.

Obama, Democrats Plan to Tie GOP to Wall Street

The Democratic National Committee is starting what a spokesman called a coordinated attack with the Obama re-election campaign and state parties designed to link Republican presidential candidates to Wall Street. As part of that effort, the DNC this morning released a new 105-second web video called "Republicans: On the Side of Wall Street, Not Consumers"
