WASHINGTON, D.C. (BNO NEWS) -- President Obama will deliver a "major speech" on the global financial crisis on Monday, the White House said on Thursday evening.
The speech comes one year to the day after Lehman Brothers collapsed and precipitated a financial crisis that reverberated across the globe. Obama will deliver the remarks on the crisis at Federal Hall in New York City at midday.
"He will discuss the aggressive steps the Administration has taken to bring the economy back from the brink, the commitment to winding down the government's role in the financial sector and the actions the United States and the global community must take to prevent a crisis like this from ever happening again," a statement from the White House read.
CORRECTION: Speech is mid-day, not Monday night...
Will this man not shut up? He is on TV more than a soap opera actor.
ANOTHER “major speech”? Does this little communist ever stfu?
Good grief....whats that now 300 major speeches since January.
Does the man ever shut the hell up?
STFU!
Oh look....It’s him again.....
AFS? Megalomaniacal Narcisissm.
Speech Bilbo!
*blink*
Disappears..
(would be nice)
Insanity — Manic Phase!
Another speech? He does not know when to shut up. Each successive Obama Beyond Thunderdome oration makes him look over matched and less intelligent.
I hope Joe Wilson’s there.
Soros winds up Obama and Obama spews out another speech. So sick of it!
Oh no.. if it’s a good speech, he just might win the election. McCain needs to go on the attack now.
And the Permanent Presidential Campaign rolls on...
There goes the market rally...
Because his last speech was such a hit.
wtf, does this guy actually work or is campaigning his job? No wonder Hillary is pissed, she would be running rings around these clowns by now.
It will be about the ant and the grasshopper...
THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
THE OBAMA VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green.’
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant ‘s house where the news stations film the group singing, ‘We shall overcome.’ Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.
Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ants food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010.
And more and more lies. Maybe some head of government will call him a liar.
Fine by me. When he disappearas his ratings recover. Let him keep talking. Infact I think he should speak tonight. Interrupt the first game of the NFL season. I’m sure the public would welcome that.
The GOP should let Dick Cheney give the rebuttal.
we had TWO major speeches this week......only one next week? how can we go through a week with only ONE speech from dearLeader?
/sarc
Oh wait.. I thought this was a satire, being posted from a year ago. He is actually going to give ANOTHER speech ????!!!
He is starting to act more and more Castro-like every day.
I bet the speech starts at 12:07 PM Eastern.
My God, this story MUST be satire. Really BHO?
Keep in mind folks it’s ONLY been just over 7 months since this guy took office. It seems like 20 years...
Or Joe Wilson.
“I got a fever and the only prescription is...more me.”
YAWN same ole same ole.
He can't. He's a narcissist.
I really think this guy is crazy. Does he intend to give a major speech every other day?
That, plus AP constantly reporting on his movements.
Thursday:
Of soft texture, but nicely shaped, just firm enough to wind the bowl.
Editor's Note: "It was delicious."
you ain’t kidding....
it is like Saddam....just has to have his face everywhere— all the time....
give it a rest......
Obama vexes the soul.
He needs his own channel. I am so sick of him.
No this is good. Let him get his mug out there as much as possible.
“I saved the world from disaster, so everyone please shut up and allow me to bask in my glory”
Obama does not YET control the US media like the two dictators, but I bet he would like too.
Whew! I'll bet the MSM was about to poop their collective(ist) drawers at the thought of another primetime request from their Dear Leader.
I agree. All this clown does is make “major” speeches.
“Podium Boy” will be gracing us with his wisdom again. Oh goody.
