Stimulus -saved or created millions of jobs!
(Just lost my peas)
I presume that what he means by ‘eat our peas’ (I like peas) is to submit to some kind of unpleasant discipline. Shouldn’t that mean NOT raising the debt ceiling?
This speech is entirely a failure. He’s indeed rambling on his same old talking points.
‘If you repeat something long enough people believe it” agenda.
Peas porridge hot
Peas porridge cold
Peas porridge in the pot
Nine days old
[Peas will be the sound byte from this fiasco news conference.]
Oops!
And, mind our Q's!
It should mean that. But, from Obama, eating our peas means we follow his pie in the sky schemes.
“(stimulus) saved a bunch of jobs”
Now he’s saying the job situation got worse because the stimulus ended.
Unbelievable.
Unfortunately he dissed the people saying we’re not paying attention.
President Obama, facing a bitter partisan stalemate over how to raise the federal borrowing limit, summoned congressional leaders to a new round of White House talks Monday and warned that he would not accept a temporary, stopgap measure.
“That is not an acceptable approach,” he told a news conference. “So we might as well do it now. Pull off the bandaid. Eat our peas. Now is the time to do it. If not now, when?”
Oh golly...he’s pushing the shovel ready infrastructure junk again.....What year does he think he’s in office????? Already done and failed.
That would be a Pea Pie.
yuk yuk not my favorite veggie.
OMG make him shut up already
I can’t stand to watch him - just makes me sick
I can’t believe anyone could be so arrogant and stupid as this president.
What a freaking loser. Total 100% loser.
I was a poor college student then and had no mortgage or credit, so the interest rates didn't affect me. I remember hearing about them, but the gas prices and rationing were in-my-face unavoidable. Things probably are that bad again for the people who are poor college students now.
Here we go never let a crisis be wasted.
That should make them want to compromise ... /NOT
“Now he’s saying the job situation got worse because the stimulus ended.”
The Krugman approach. : o /
Folklore and Oddities
The French court became so enamored with green peas that in Paris in 1695 it was common practice for aristocratic women to make them a late evening snack between dinner and bedtime. From the court of French King Louis XIV, Madame de Maintenoy wrote to Cardinal de Noailles: “. . . There are some ladies who, having supped, and supped well, take peas at home before going to bed, at the risk of an attack of indigestion. It’s a fashion, a craze!”
Even kings are not immune to overindulgence—some are even well known for their gourmandising. After overindulging in peas, Louis XIV summoned his doctor to offer him relief from indigestion.
