Yeah, halting that bus tour did have an impact upon the economy, but not a huge one.

"My fellow Americans, based on the events of the last several days perhaps even weeks, I have come to the conclusion that I'm in way over my head. Therefore effective on 1 Aug, I...Barrack H. Obama will step down from the office of the President. The Vice President will also step down and we all know he's a blithering idiot. The lesson all Americans must draw from my sad and failed administration is that liberalism as regards its place in the American political systems amounts to traitorous behaivor. The Speaker of the House will take control of the country and special elections will be held this year. I regret my actions and pray you can all forgive me for almost driving this greatest of nations over a cliff. God bless you and God bless America..."

Short of that he ought to shut the fuck up.

The more he talks, the worse it gets. His poll numbers must be horrible beyond belief.

Republicans: "The Federal Government has gotten too large and amassed too much power. Government spending is out of control. The National Debt is a threat to our children's futures. Our entitlement programs are unsustainable in their current fashion. We need to reduce our spending now. We need to pay down the National Debt. And we need to reform our entitlement programs so they will be there in the future."
Democrats: "THE REPUBLICANS ARE CRAZY!!!!
THE TEA PARTY IS RACIST!!
PAUL RYAN WANTS TO KILL YOUR GRANDMA!!!
WE'RE THE ADULTS!!!

What could this idiot possibly say to matter one iota at this point?

Breaking news? Good joke, Obama dicksucker. How many press conferences does this guy have to give? Anything to save face from the mountain of reports obliterating him that were put out today.

A lame duck who has ceded power to Piglosi and Dingy Reid.

First thing out of his mouth was blame Bush, lol.

Skip8282 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 25, 2011, 06:06:38 PM »

And just blamed Repubs for why there is no deal right now.

This is better than comedy central.

So he's rehashing every other speech he's given over the last few weeks? Why is this asshole even wasting our time? Oh, that's right. Needs to look like he's still relevant as all the news reports are lambasting him for being cast aside as a useless, lame-duck douche bag.

Everything I've read today pointed to Boehner pinning Obama in a corner.

Hope Obama's ready to swallow what the Boehner's shooting.

Obama just refuses to cut spending and deal w debt issues.

Great rebuttal, and he didn't even cry.

He doesn't know how to. He actually had the audacity to present a proposal that would cut TWO BILLION. He's a clueless fuck.

The Boner definitely looked like more of a politician than the fear-mongering twat.

headhuntersix · « **Reply #22 on:** July 25, 2011, 06:29:30 PM »

All that shit he said was yesterday...Congress (both sides) are working past him. Boener and Reid are closer together then anything ol Barry mentioned. Yet another campaign speech to nowhere.

Did you ever!

Let's see, where to begin:

Obama solved the debt crisis that ONLY Bush put us in. Rich & poor are living in perfect harmony. Education & healthcare are now totally free. And, there was no campaign rhetoric against the evil Republicans who refuse to compromise and want to stop social security recipients and veterans' from getting their pay.

Truly an amazing speech - and you lost out...
