Obama is set to speak at 11 a.m. EDT.

[kristinn]

Obamageddon.

[Jim Noble]

“And why is the media not calling him on this stupidity?”

Were you born yesterday? Did they just drag you out of the cabbage patch?

Or have you been in a cave for the past 45 years?

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Exactly!

[maggief]

He’s got three trade deals just waiting to go.

Being held up by trade adjustments for those who will be misplaced, (mumble, mumble...)

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Better approach? This guy is living on another planet! Nothing he’s done has worked, only hurt!

[silentknight]

OBAMA just said HE WOULD WIN THIS DEBATE

[penelopesire]

Huh? I am not watching it..watching the Weather Channel until he is gone...lol. What did he say?

[ohiobushman]

like your tagline.

[midnightcat]

I can’t listen to his speech at work, but from the comments, it sounds like it went over poorly. He’s going out to the press, day after day, essentially saying the same thing each time. A whole lot of words that mean basically nothing. I think he’s making himself look like an idiot. How many people are actually believing him at this point? Besides those who are brain-dead?

[Clint N. Suhks]

‘My way or the highway’ is you 0bama you jackass!

[EBH]

uH...listening to a few excerpts on talk radio...

Something struck me as I relistened to the beginning.

“We have an opportunity to do something “BIG.”

0bama wants this to be his defining moment.

[Red_Devil 232]

He is talking about himself when he says “My Way or the Highway! What an Idiot!

[maggief]

Who is getting something done and who is

posturing and scoring political points.

(As he postures and tries to score political points.)

[SueRae]

He just buried himself...American people don’t want to see a lot of posturing..and party or any politician trying to do it my way or the highway.. wtf have we been seeing the last 2.5 years???????

[nascarnation]

last question to NPR, how come nobody from National Urban Radio today?

[relee]

He’s melting in front of our eyes!

So much so that you might think someone had dropped a house on his sister.

[Jedidah]

I’m frustrated, too, but I respectfully ask you to clean up your language on this board.

This is not DU.

[Danae]

“...Traditionally Bipartisan..." um hum. Thats why we elected the Tea Party to congress, and told the GOP in no uncertain terms that the gig is up, no more business as usual or you are ... out. And no Heidi Klum to kiss bubai as your butt gets tossed to the curb.

Kiss our collective arses Obama, we are going to FORCE you to veto this, and THEN you can explain why you are holding grannies SS check hostage!

Suck it up buttercup, there is a new sheriff in town and it AIN'T you.

[kabar]

LOL. Obama is the biggest posturer of all. He is the demagogue.
