White House Hints at More Economic Speeches, Proposals Ahead

[sunmars]

In what could be a way of lowering expectations for next Thursday's big economic speech, aides to President Obama are privately spreading word that he will not present his entire jobs plan in his address to a Joint Session of Congress.

Aides say Thursday's speech will be part of a bigger plan the White House will roll out throughout the fall with the president hitting the road for speeches and town hall appearances. Aides have already confirmed that Obama will be traveling to California, Colorado, and Washington state for one three-day swing later this month that will include economic events as well as some fundraising.

The move could be a way to try and lower the stakes for Thursday's Joint Session appearance, but it could also be an attempt by the administration to show the president is trying to stay all over the economy heading into what will likely be an uphill re-election battle.

[P.O.E.]

Tonight I shall be carrying on from where we got to last week when I was showing you how to defend yourselves against anyone who attacks you with armed with a piece of fresh fruit.

(Grumbles from all)

Palin: Oh, you promised you wouldn’t do fruit this week.

Sgt.: What do you mean?

Jones: We’ve done fruit the last nine weeks.

Sgt.: What’s wrong with fruit? You think you know it all, eh?

Palin: Can’t we do something else for a change?

Idle (Welsh): Like someone who attacks you with a pointed stick?

Sgt.: Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I’ll tell you something my lad. When you’re walking home tonight and some homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don’t come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit. When your assailant lunges at you with a passion fruit...

All: We done the passion fruit.

Sgt.: What?

Chapman: We done the passion fruit.

Palin: We done oranges, apples, grapefruit...

Jones: Whole and segments.

Palin: Pomegranates, greengages...

Chapman: Grapes, passion fruit...

Palin: Lemons...

Jones: Plums...

Chapman: Mangoes in syrup...

Sgt.: How about cherries?

All: We did them.

Sgt.: Red *and* black?

All: Yes!

Sgt.: All right then, bananas.

(All sigh.)

Honestly, I kind of feel sorry for him

Yeah, me too               /s

About as sorry as I felt on hearing Saddam had been found cowering in a hole, pissing himself.

About as sorry as I felt on hearing the 'great warrior' Osama made his final 'stand' cringing behind womens' skirts.

This vile little toad, this Ø, this racist, marxist, cowardly, puppet shell of a 'man' can't possibly go down hard enough to assuage the harm already done to our Nation by him and his subversive minions.

Save your tears for the loved ones of the troops whose lives have been squandered for political expedience.   Save your tears for the families whose savings and hope and livelihoods have been trampled under the foot of an increasingly fascist Leviathan State.   Save your tears for the years of hard work and the dreams of those building businesses, who've had it all brought to ruin by a class of pandering filth whose only goal is re-election to a seat at the public trough for the endless feeding of their boundless egos and their ever-ravenous looter constituency.

Feel sorry that this is what we've come to.
Feel sorry for the real victim - our Constitutional Republic - prostrate in the ER of right here, right now, right before your eyes and your childrens' futures.

Even Goldman Sachs Secretly Believes That An Economic Collapse Is Coming

[dools0007world]

That’s the ticket. More speeches. Our Usurping Marxist has no where else to go. I beleive it is a dead end for him.

I’m amazed it took less than 2-2 1/2 years to demonstrate the complete and utter folly of Marxism. It is absolutely essential that the House conservatives deny him “walkin’ around money” (aka stimulus) he can use to buy votes.

Boehner’s denying him the Congressional pulpit was a nice symbolic slap in the face, but nothing more. The One must be denied the ability to spend money the government does not have. This is substsance over symbolism.

[N. Theknow]

He will wait for the polling results after each partial release of “his plan”. Then after the polling results are in he can massage his message. Just pathetic.

Idi Obama, "We are just making it up as we go."

Hey, it worked wonders for Carter with his, "Let's try this for 6 months and see if it works and if it doesn't we will do the opposite and see if that works."

[TomGuy]

FoxNews banner says WH lowers expectations on speech, will not have all the details of the plan.

Tranlation: It will be more of the same gibberish nothingness with a lot of blame on Congress, GW, GOP, ATM's, corporate jets, yada yada yada.

In other words, it will be another complete waste of airtime.

==

Suggestion: Invite Jimmy Carter and do a soft-shoe dance together, since Obama's term is rivaling Carter's as the worst in the last 100+ years. At least, that would probably be more watchable than this speech will be.

[dforest]

Boehner should tell him to cancel the speech before Congress if he has no plan to offer.

If it isn’t cancelled, they should give him a few minutes, and if he starts the blame the GOP game for his own failures, they should get up and walk out.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I said this in another thread, but I think instead of sitting on hands or booing, the GOP ought to rehearse some laugh lines.

Let Hussein say some bull crap, and just BURST into laughter.

Also, and this was someone else’s idea, have an EXTREMELY long series of standing ovations...make it difficult for that jackball to finish his lie-fest on time for football.

This gives a double win...it hoses his schedule AND it helps him piss off football fans. :)

[StAnDeliver]

All the MSM talking heads who insist Bobo should go 'all FDR up in this' are gonna get served -- EVERYONE KNOWS THE MONEY IS NOT THERE. And Bobo is a joke for taking their advice...

Failure thy name is Obama

[Mr. Peabody]

He’s been busy on the island so he didn’t have time to work on the plan.

[Eleutheria5]

Raise taxes. Raise spending. Lower credit ratings. Go to war in stupid places. Ignore real international troubles and make them worse. Do it all. Just shut up, already.

[politicalmerc]

I’m sure the unemployed are excited.
