CNBC just broke in and told the audience that the President has requested airtime and will speak to the nation at 1300hrs EST (12 noon central, 10 AM PST) on the US national debt downgrade.

Developing...

[caww]

Keep us posted on these numbers....sure to drop after he speaks.

I believe you to be correct. zer0, himself said on election night at his victory celebration, I am the one you have waited for. The crowd had no idea what they had been told. A little truth came out of the zer0’s mouth on that night. Of course, the crowd cheered, and didn’t have a clue.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

They are commenting on bonehead’s FB page that Bush committed treason. I guess you don’t have to sign in to read the crap.

CNN commentators are trying their best to lay down cover for Obama in this time of crisis and last week being “the worst week of his presidency” per David Gergen.

He'll announce that he's seen the light and from now on will only hire economic advisors who can add.

It’s hard to appear in charge when you’re never responsible for anything.

“He delayed because he doesn’t want to give the markets a lot of time to react...they’ve been reacting very badly to him lately and it is killing his PR spin cycle.”

BINGO!!!!!
We have a WINNER, Folks!
All these nutjobs in the White Hut care about is winning TODAY’S News Cycle

[austinaero]

Someone said “Debt Man Talking”...kinda sums it up rather nicely

[Kaslin]

He took credit for taking Bin Laden out

[hattend]

TOTUS/POSOTUS: “I inherited everything from Bush...including our AAA rating. I promised change!”

[shield]

Didn’t I see a thread yesterday that he is flying in witch doctors from kenya to help with the economy....oh never mind...I’m sure that wasn’t for real.

[TomGuy]

POTUS: 1:30? hahaha Just funnin’ y’all.

[CNN anticipates another 10 minute delay.]

[NowApproachingMidnight]

Does anyone see a teleprompter? I don’t!
This could be good.

[Red_Devil 232]

He is still running on CPT. Even with the new time of 1:30 he is now late again!

[riri]

Hmm, wish I were a fly on the wall.

[opentalk]

Also a trait of passive aggressive personalities, pattern of being late.

“CNN commentators are trying their best to lay down cover for Obama”

The only thing transparent about this WH is the TOTUS side chats. Barry will try to spread the blame around, call for bipartisanship and then deal a little misdiretion with comments about the deaths in Afganistan.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Would be an improvement over what he’s doing now.

His solutions will be tax the rich, spend more.

[B.Lyle]

I’m a patient man but TURN UP TO YOUR RESCHEDULED PRESS CONFERENCE ALREADY! %$^&*(&^%$##!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Red_Devil 232]

It is behind the camera!
