Obama To Address Nation Following Senate Vote - Watch Live (If You Have the Stomach For It)
ZeroHedge ^ | 8/2/1011 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 08/02/2011 10:06:04 AM PDT by mojito

The circus has been let completely loose, with the president now expected to address the nation following the Senate vote on the debt ceiling which by implication is expected to pass without a hitch. Naturally should the Senate vote by some miracle fail, Obama may be forced to scramble as his prepared and teleprompted remarks end up being completely useless. Watch what is hopefully the very last chapter of the farce (at least for another year) live here.

For those with iron stomachs.

The only reason to watch is to count how many times the TOTUS congratulates itself.

In the mean time, the stock market (which was managing to go up a little after diving all morning), has gone into a nose dive.

He didn't give a darn about the terms...it was all about 2012.

He made the darn mess...stimulus, GM bailout, black farmers "payoff" etc

I bet he will get his digs against the tea party people in there somehow.

I would watch but I have to trim my fingernails at that time.

I can summarize:

Illegal Alien Marxist Muslim comes to America.

Gets elected President.

Saves world.

I use to think I had a cast iron stomach, but, it would take a titanium stomach to deal with one more of his lectures.

Well now that the bill has passed, he doesn’t have to bite his lip anymore and pretend like he got taken to the cleaners. I expect him to be all smiles, talking about how he sucessfully protected the poor and seniors from the Republicans.

There's not enough "medical" marijuana in the world to mitigate the nausea caused by this victory lap speech.

I'm doing work on one screen, watching Barbara Boxer talking pure garbage on another screen and watching for the puke Obama on a third. The 4th has Band of Brothers running on it which offsets screen numbers 2&3.

Barbara Boxer is so wrong headed it is stunning. She is ful of you know what...
