Dang. Can’t watch the video. Is a transcript available?
Last night, Obama was partisan to the extreme.
His whole speech can be summed up with: “I won the election, now do what I say!” (stomps feet and pouts).
Hey, remember when Bush was elected? You didn’t fall in line, you were against the surge. The surge that, though you can’t say it, worked.
Remember, dissent is patriotic.
It wasn’t tax cuts that caused the crisi, it was government rules that called for providing bad risk mortgages
duh
were his followers shouting HAIL OBAMA…HAIL VICTORY???!!!
Trust me 30,you don’t want to see the video…
Candidate Hope n’ Change has become President Doom n’ Gloom.
Right,
With 4heads firmly implanted into obambi prayer carpets ……
Begging
Shrill
Over his head
…was the most boring 4:17 minutes spent on MMs site, ever!
still no time to swing by bitter/clingers in kentucky
cmon obambi you dont want them punsihed by the ice!!!
You mean OUT OF CONTROL SPENDING??
Yeah, let’s do some more of that.
Quite the contrary, that’s exactly what they voted for. Although I’m sure a lot of them didn’t realize it.
Hmmm, “We’re sorry. This video is no longer available.”
Why does that not surprise me?
I heard a clip of The One this morning on the radio and he sounded like a deranged lunatic telling us that we must pass this pork-filled bill or we will sink deeper into a depression. It’s pathetic.
Bingo.
That’s an issue that I’ve seen resolved by trying to access it from a different computer. I have no idea why it would be that way but sometimes it is.
At least, Dean can be tolerable than O. Lesser of the —-.
Is this a political rally? Is this a revivalist meeting? Is this for real?
Spoken like a true Lightweight. A real Paper Tiger.
I finally got to see the video. What’s up with the pouty bottom lip? He looks like a petulant child who’s not getting his way. He sounds like it too — raising his voice to try to make his point.

It is like Obama is stuck in campaign mode. The porkulus package is a dismal failure. Even Obama’s rhetoric, fear mongering, and the MSM are not enough to prop up this stinker.
Obama doesn’t know what to do. He is toast. Rather than moving on, he is drawing a line in the sand on a losing battle. Hopefully Obama won’t do too much damage to this country in the next 4 years, when someone, anyone who runs against him, will beat him.
Obama will be even weaker than Carter.
He really digs being POTUS….tehe
Now I know why Obama sat through Rev Wright’s sermons unaffected – he was taking voice lessons!
Did anyone notice how he mimicked the undulating tonality of an Old Regular Baptist preacher to frenzy-up the audience?
It’s kinda disturbing to see a president act as though he’s unaware he is the president. Not an inspirational moment for the kinder, no indeed.
Obama has always gotten his way, now that he is playing with the big boys he is acting out like a two year old when they won’t play ball with him. It is going to be a loooooooong four years. Right now I am heartsick for the families who lost loved ones on the U.S.S. Cole. God give them comfort as Obama undermines the miliatry.
Wow, how retarded was that crowd? Obama says that we’re too addicted to foreign oil. Gee, wonder why? He complains about soaring national debt, and then talks about increasing spending by bringing in universal health care?
Are there people in America who _really_ buy into this pile of horse manure?
As I recall, his qualifications for the presidency consisted of campaigning.

The fools in Congress need to be apprehended and thrown into jail before they can do any more damage.
That’s all he’s ever done. He’s never been a leader on anything. He doesn’t know how to lead and wouldn’t know how to lead if the concept whacked him upside the head. He’s a power-hungry, media-created, partisan hack. And those are his good points.
I’m sure they’ll be around shortly to tell us how much worse Republicans are and that we (i.e. you people) really don’t love our country.
Hey Obama! The American solutions are from our Constitution.
As mentioned, just another campaign speech, and a pretty piss-poor one at that. But in his “defense”, Michelle, that yelling at the end didn’t even manage to rise to that of Dean in Iowa. The poor guy just can’t get a break. He should check with Howard on where to get some good “primal scream” therapy.

I think the C**P SANDWICH will pass with a few cosmetic item removals. Flood it with really hot Picante sauce and try to choke it down–like a lot of bad 1960′s Army horror meals I had to eat!

Seeing last night’s disgusting partisan speech made me appreciate President Bush even more. Pres. Bush held the office of the Presidency to a great esteem and respect and would never, ever use it as a political tool (perhaps he should have to some extent, though). BHO only knows how to run for office, not serve. He is SOOOO in over his head, it is scarey.
Here you go.
Yeah, what part of “you don’t incur debt until you OVER-SPEND” doesn’t he (and the rest of ‘em) understand?
Just waiting for him to attack the right wing media again and espouse support for the Fairness Doctrine…maybe he can first declare an economic state of emergency and argue that Rush, Hannity, et al are undercutting the nation’s morale and interfering with critical governmental activities. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Our economy lost 500,000 jobs in January (it’s highest rate sine 1974)and look what you people are talking about.
What kind of people are you?
And regarding the quality of the speech, I guess they didn’t have a teleprompter at the spa where this shindig took place, hence the several awkward silent breaks in his delivery where he looked like he was trying to think of something to say. Maybe the DNC can get the video over to the Ministry of Truth for a trip down the Memory Hole before people realize that he isn’t the savior that was promised.
If we move swiftly without giving consideration to the consequences of a stimulus (?) package, and without the understanding that each and every outlay of funds is to grow the economy, we are fools.
My take on this is that the Democrats are truly worried about the current surge of opposition against this bill. Sure, they know that they’ll likely get it passed. However if they were so certain of the outcome of this bill, the President would not need to campaign for it to the American people like this.
This is the look of fear of reprisal.
This is why he says “this is not my proposal… or Nancy Pelosi’s proposal…”. He’s setting up the “economists” to be the scapegoats when this fails. He was hoping the bill would be more “bipartisan” so they could skirt the blame later.
Just curious – does anybody else have a spouse that feels it necessary to remind you daily that you are not actually perfect?
Of course he’s mad. His chickens are coming home to roost. Things will only get worse for him, since he has long ago demonstrated that he doesn’t handle stress very well.
I thought you’d never ask.
We are members of the intelligent party who knows that we can’t spend our way out of a recession. We also know that government subsidies do not lead to affordable anything.
And you are….?
Heh. That’s exactly what we were told!
The Congressional Budget Office has said this bill will do more harm than good. Krugman has made similar statements.
He probably meant to say “Heil!, Ich bin Obama! Tanz!”
Like the 150 Billion “Stimulus” and the 700 Billion TARP that were sent to the president by the Democratic Congress?
Right on cue.
You should review unemployment rates a bit closer than you are.
Here’s a link.
Review 1992 and 1993 compared to January 2009.

German translation courtesy of love2Rumba…
I thought YOUR SAVIOR was gonna wave HIS HOLY HANDS and heal us all!!
what happened??
‘us people’ know what kind of ‘people’ you are…..trash.
It’s actually embarrassing to watch. Obama doesn’t know anything but campaign b.s., it’s really all he knows.
ugh…*ack* (gasp) wheeze… *gack* (gurgle) spew…
Man, that was one of the toughest manure bags ever shoved down my throat.
Was it just me, or did every single line of his speech drip with hypocrisy? Boy, you could hit the mother load of criticism against the liberal ideals with every utterance.
Can’t wait for the conservative pundits to take this speech apart!
OT
Israeli elections crucial to survival of Israel.
And with Obama willing to let Iran smuggle arms by sea to Hamas to stay on good terms with Iran, do you think he’ll stop Iran from going nuclear?
And after the Little Satan gets nuked, who might be next?
(And yes, Israel probably can retaliate after a nuclear attack, but it won’t take too many nukes to turn a country the size of New Jersey into a radioactive wasteland, and the Iranians love martyrs for Allah)
Cannot disagree.
Somewhat less than inspiring.
Sounded like some high-school dufus still running for student-council or class president.
What happens when you elect someone with zero experience in compromise.
those who can lead
those who cant throw tantrums
you won we get that but it dosnt mean we all have to follow you over the cliff.
Smart, patriotic, American. Show how this bill is going to get any of those 500,000 people there jobs back. It won’t you shill.
What a crybaby! WAAAAAAAAAHHHH! UHHH! WAAAAH UHHHH!
You’re going down Barry.
Obama joked:
His “Air Force One” jacket is pretty “spiffy” too.
Dang, I can’t see the video either–my finger just will not click the mouse! Not that I want to give our President the finger mind you, absolutely not.
Can central United States secede from the west and east coasts?
That would be awesome!
Bear in mind that the 4 years he spends in the White House will be the longest that the Dear Leader will have held any job.
When all you do is campaign for the next higher office, politics becomes similar to the old metaphor about every problem resembling a nail when your only tool is a hammer.
Yeah, this election made history alright; we’re getting not one, but three donk presidencies:
- George McGovern’s first term;
- Jimmy Carter’s second; and
- Lyndon Johnson’s third (assuming the balance of JFK’s term as his first).
I believed all along that it was only a matter of time before “The New Messiah” morphed into The Incredible Shrinking Man. But I had no idea that the transformation would happen so quickly…
Well, aside from being smart, good intentioned, well informed and historically literate we’re just like you.
To paraphrase Gingrich last night, the crap sandwich costs more than the Iraqi and Afghan wars combined and BHO’s trying to push them with far less debate? IMO, the longer this drags out, the less political capital he wields.
He may campaign, but he stinks at appearing Presidential. His appearance on Today dressed casually, his laughable cabinet muck-ups, his lousy WaPo op ed, his speech last night all speak to his being a juvenille at heart.
Oh – and I didn’t know the Great Depression ended in 1974 (the last time unemployment was as high as it is now).
I’d like one of the less-unreasonable Liberals that hang around here to explain something to me:
How, exactly, did lower taxes cause this problem?
Followup question: how will raising taxes solve the problem?
Extra-credit question: when has lowering taxes ever hurt the economy or cost someone their job?
After only 17 days of the Obamastration, it has become patently obvious that he and his White House are clueless when it comes to running the Government. Arrogance is no substitute for Leadership!
Fixed it
Is that the media clapping and cheering? It would not surprise me one bit if it is.
i am sick and tired of his arrogant – spanking me into submission – tone. He is behaving like a tyrant. He speaks like a demagogue insulting my intelligence. This is not sesame street!
I was watching *gasp* Fox last night when they broke in with this speech. Apparently, this wasn’t intended to be televised according to the Fox White House correspondent (forgot his name.)
This isn’t funny. This is scary. What have we done? Obama-Biden-Pelosi-Reid. The Senate GOP can’t blink here. They have to get behind Lindsey Graham and hold the line.
IHateMyCountry:
I thought the number of unemployed had several more zeroes behind it, at least that is what the Big Zero herself (SFNan) told us.
BTW, we are people who want to talk about our national debt increasing by an order of magnitude and all the effects that will have upon us, our children, our grandchildren…
What do you want to talk about, the weather?
You are a fool/tool.
Here’s a clue. ILMC has hardly lived 20 years and therefore isn’t qualified to discuss the subjects here. Take what ILMC with a grain of salt..
LOL!!! X10
Thanks for the laugh. I’m glad I didn’t have any food in my mouth either…projectile laughter is never pretty.
Is that a request?
Ooops Salt – sorry…lol
ILMC’s nick is a inherent lie.
Regulus: Fixed it for you.
I saw the live feed on Fox News last night, pre-empting O’Reilly by the way, and I noticed it was also carried on CNN. I don’t believe MSNBC picked it up. But you put the Doofus in Chief in front of a camera, and its all about a campaign speech. And arrogant. You’d think he had a huge margin instead of the one he actually got. Good grief! And we’ve got four years of this to put up with. Pray for patience. And work like hell to get some control back in Congress.
According to the criticisms I’ve read, this bill, as written, would create few private sector jobs and posses the potential to become a pay-for-play bonanza for Democrats, enriching their coffers at all levels of government (fed, state local) through a system of awarding infrastructure contracts to firms that contribute huge sums to Democrat candidates.
Barack Obama – Not ready for prime time.
Don’t say we did not warn you O-worshipers.
I said all throughout the campaign, Obama could not take a punch politically. Anyone want to refute that now?

We lost 500 million jobs, you dolt.
HERE IS THE REAL STORY:
Less than a month into his presidency The One has lost his cool. Today’s rant was very telling. This is the guy that never loses his cool, always has an answer and is above politics as usual. No he’s not.
Panic time for Odrama. He would rather have a failed fraud stimulus pushed down the American people’s throats than admit he is wrong. Pride is deadly.
I saw Obama on TV again today. Once again, he felt the need to remind everyone that he had won the election.
Here’s my reminder to you, Obama. You’ve already won the election. So stop campaigning and start acting presidential.
Bashing Bush may have gotten you elected, but Bush-bashing will not get you reelected.
Count me in.
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Looks like he may not have as much time to smoke the Ganja these days. Its always a b!tc# when you break your pipe. Someone call Michael Phelps to help guru and chill this dude out…
(WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE CANT SMOKE THE PEACE PIPE WHENVER I WANT ANYMORE??????_
Ya’ll don’t give Obama enough credit. He’s telling the truth when he says that if we don’t pass this bill that “we” will sink further into depression. The “we” he’s talking about though are him, Reid, and Pelosi.
One statement stood out over all the others…when he accused the opposition of “phony arguments”. WTF??? Phony arguments? I guess that sums up what he thinks of anyone who disagrees with him. What a jerk.
Agreed.
But, *sigh* there are 1444 days left….
What better time than now to secede!!! We give California and the east cost Obama! Oh yea and Gandholm and Kwamie and Pelosi, Reid, Feinstein, Kennedy…Blao Does anybody see a trend here?
I saw that too. It looked like he was having a ball PLAYING President! Air Force One…Wow! This is such fun! I can fly in Air Force One, and ride limos and everyone bows down to me…how COOL is that? And his comment about teaching children profanity and actually thinking that is funny…how disgusting can you get? The leader of the free world lowering himself to say things like that. Seriously, how do you think that looks to the rest of the world? Not that I care about the rest of the world, but we are going to be a laughing stock again, like we were when Clinton and Lewinsky played their games in the Oval Office. Yuck!!
What about his “Cable chatter” dig aimed, obviously, at Fox. But, pay no attention to the media behind the man behind teh curtain (MSNBC, CNN, SeeBS, NYT, WaPo, etc, etc, etc) who are all swigging the Kool-Aid.
You’re right, that was pretty nasty too and not a comment you could classify as “presidential”. He is really immature!!
That pic of Obama and Dean make me realize that two quarter wits only add up to one halfwit.
Williamsburg VA is a whopping 140 miles from DC. 2 and 1/2 hrs by car or 1 hr in Marine-1. I had no Idea Air force-1 could or should be used for partisan love fests.
He’s another Little Lord Flauntleroy.
Air Force-1 or Marine-1 is a callsign and NOT an aircraft. If it’s an AF a/c and it is carrying the C-in-C of this country, it uses the callsign “Air Force One.” If it is a Marine a/c, it is “Marine One.”
It could be a Cessna 172 or a cropduster, when it is a military a/c and the President is riding, that is the callsign used. When the a/c moves without him in it, it DOESN’T use such a callsign.
Regardless, using a 747 to fly from DC to Langley AFB (most likely destination so the a/c could be properly protected and about a 30-minute drive from Williamsburg) is over the top.
There is a fleet of executive jets (Gulfstream, Lear-type, etc) available for use by BHO. However, he couldn’t carry an entourage with him in such a small a/c and hang the cost of fuel and operating a 747 for a short hop, he HAS to have his entourage with him, else his ego would go “Pop!”
Note how he HAD to tell the faithful he flew down there on the BIG jet! Basically he rubbed it in their faces that they had to drive or go in a small jet, he got to ride in style!
How petty! I am sick of it already, will the faithful ever get sick of it? Doubtful!
Thank god he’s still considered a Baby Boomer. You people need to to grow up before us GenX’ers start to take over.
Then we are all really screwed…. you raised us…
