Bueller...anyone, anyone?

[sscoots969]

NO EARMARKS???? - THE WHOLE THING IS A DAMN EARMARK!!! What an SOB!!

[BCrago66]

Does anyone know who is doing the Republican response? I’m hoping Michael Steele.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

” He is definately using a list of names. “

With preordained questions from his acolytes-he’s doing an abysmal job of answering questions.
This is ZZZZZZZZZZ time.
Now, he’s starting to raise his voice-perhaps to keep the media and audience awake.
Those sinister eyes again.

[MaxMax]

We need drug testing for the Presidency.

[Sarah Barracuda]

What catastrophe is this dumb ass talking about. Yes the economy is bad, but the Great Depression was a 1000 times worse. How about Obama actually meet with people who LIVED through the Great Depression. Are people stealing rice to survive, are people putting wood in the heels of their shoes because they can’t afford to buy new shoes..its ridiculous, yes the economy is bad, but for God’s sake it’s not the end of the damn world. People are still buying stuff, the house next door to us just sold, to two 27 year olds for 1.3 million, the economy will recover. I am sick of these liberal bastards making it out to be like passing this BS package is a difference between life and death

[hugorand]

He is giving Rush loads of soundbites for tomorrow

Big time. Rush's show prep is just sequencing the sound bites

[shoutingandpointing]

Uh . . . enrgyefficientizeitate Federal buildings? WTH? This will save America?

[Red_Devil 232]

I've been bipartisan and respectful and...

And while explaining how bipartisan he is he blames everything on the past 8 years!

[topfile]

0 said “Uh” 63 times now!

People are starting to seize.

[Indy Pendance]

So do I, but he went mental (liberal) after cheers, so no holds barred.

[acoulterfan]

“It takes him ten minutes to finish rambling from one question”

And then nobody can even remember what the question was!

[spectre]

"I inherited the deficit"...blah, blah, blah.

And just WTH does he think he is going to pass on to future generations of this country in the form of HIS own massive deficit.

sw

[Son House]

is someone going to challenge him on lower tax rates increasing revenue to the Government?

[RebelTXRose]

Texas is it’s own country in the end! I love that show.

[maggief]

This is an infomercial.

Shamwow, indeed!

[jennyjenny]

He just said, “don’t suggest that’s raceful spending.”

[VanDeKoik]

I found full episodes of Macgyver on YouTube.

I had no idea that this clown was even doing this. I guess since I dont use the TV anymore, I can avoid having him sneak into my home.

Get lost, Obi!

[Hoodat]

'What I said is what other economists have said'

Here's what other economists have said:

Economists slam Barack Obama's stimulus package

[Salvation]

Just for fun.
