“What would America do if the idiot introed the global currency and NWO on TV today?”

Hey, somebody needed to elect the man of perdition and hand him almost absolute power. The US has slipped far enough into the pit that we were the natural choice.

We have just a little time left to work in the harvest.

“No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings than United America. Wondrously strange, then, and much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to neglect the means and to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to so plainly; I cannot believe it will ever come to pass.” —George Washington

>>> Obama Schedule || August 8, 2011

by Keith Koffler on August 8, 2011, 6:25 am

10:00 am || Receives Presidential Daily Briefing <<<

REALLY???? This is not made up? Which executive has their schedule starts at 10 am for the daily briefing? What does he do before 10?

In other words, How long does it take for him to drop his big do-do beofre breakfast?

I bet even if he did say that you would still find brain dead self-hating whites voting for him and cheering him on.

I won't watch him on TV. I know what he is going to say, one way or another.

Obama to Americans:

I know I promised change, shovel ready jobs. A-a-ah...But I never said right away...not able to do that yet 'cause I inherited too many problems from Bush. Oh, right ... that excuse is not working any more.

Okay, the fault for our high unemployment rate is because of the ATM's ... oh, the teleprompter tells me that excuse is not working either.

A-a-a-ah, OK, our economic crisis is because of the Arab spring, combined with the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. What? Oh, the people are not buying that either. Ummmm...

Let me try it this way: We had problems dealing with the debt ceiling and it was all because of the Republicans. Oh, oh, right, I promised a non-partisan administration. Ummm...

Okay...a-a-ah, well I know one thing for sure. The S&P downgrade is because of those darn Tea party people. Yep...that's it. The Tea Party made that happen. Is that going to stick now? Will you believe that one? No? Ummm...

Well, who's left to blame??? Not me, no no...I am your savior. I was given a special gift. Oh, jeeze...where are Reid and Pelosi...are you there? No. Ummm...Ummm, Ummm.

Okay now remember, tighten your belts, put air in your tires, and eat your peas and American will be alright. God bless America.

On Politico 44 his schedule is on the right side and this is always at 10AM. Sometimes 9:30.He has to wake up and have a King breakfast and snort/swallow his drugs and run out and have a smoke.

Ten Bucks says he blames somebody else for it.

You are either very poor or not very confident. You should give 1000 to 1 odds on that ten bucks. Even then you probably couldn't get any takers.

Commodity Futures Commission said:

Investors bought more GOLD in the past month than the last 6 months....18 million ounces in last month alone.

Gold in May - 1,500
Gold today - 1,700 plus

Not in a million chance Obama will admit that he screwed US. Remember, in their (lib) minds, Obama is the heroic Capt Kick@SS trying to SAVE US.

First of all they won’t admit failure; secondly, (IF) he fails, it is because he’s too modest, not bold enough to try all out marxist measures.

Watch for it! Soon, Obama will unveil some of his agenda to “revive” the economy. Among them will be giving ammnesty to roughly fourteen million illegal aliens. What he would have us believe is that this will bring in more revenue when they all start paying taxes. In reality, this will be a move to increase the Democratic voting block.

That illegals beginning to pay income taxes will help the economy is a joke, to say the least. Illegals who once came here to work for money to send home to families in Mexico now just bring them along and begin collecting a host of free government benefits immediately.

We are on the cusp of a hostile takeover by a Socialist/Marxist dictator wannabe. I hope Americans will now summon up the patriotism and bravery that founded this nation in order to save it.

No one, least of all Barrack Hussein Obama and his Socialist/Marxist regime can make this period and this era easy for anyone. However, Obama is about to roll out his tried and true policy of roiling the masses in order to cover his motives.

Please America! Gird yourself with the honor and truth that birthed us and put this detrimental regime down, once and for all. And while we’re at it, we should rid our Congress of all the politicians of both parties who don’t serve the interests of America but their own. There is plenty of fodder for that on both sides of the aisle. Congress works for you, not the other way ‘round. Obama never bargained for the rise of the Tea Party in his diabolical plan. If not for them, we would be even further down the chute than we are at this time.

Stand in the gap and tell the Obamanation, “You shall not pass and you will not prevail.”

Obama is at his most dangerous now because he has run out of everyone elses money with which to buy support.

Watch out!

Unless the statement includes the words, "I resign", I have no interest in what he has to say.

I bet he is 10 minutes late to the teleprompter. My Mom always told me people that are late are selfish folks thinking the world revolves around them.
