Obama Delivers More Of The Same

In a speech that was more of his usual blaming, shaming and vaguely claiming he'll start leading soon; President Barack Obama took to the podium today to address the downgrade in our nation's credit rating. He started, almost an hour late, with a not-so-veiled swipe at his political opponents claiming the loss of our triple-A rating was caused by a lack of faith in our political system's "ability to act" and then he offered such nonsensical blather as "No matter what some agency may say, we've always been and always will be a triple-A country."

As he continued to speak (and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped below 11,000) he proposed more of the same failed policies with slightly new names.

The loud sound of flatulence had all eyes on Barry, who was sitting in the corner. An overwhelming sour odor filled the air. Barry had an adolescent smirk on his face. “It was George,” he declared with his best adult voice. “The Tea Party farted!” John F. blurted out. Some nodded in agreement, but there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that the stinker in the room was none other than (.)bama.

Leading from behind is all Barry knows. What a stinker.

I didn’t watch the speech so I don’t know what he proposed. Let me guess, high speed choo-choo’s, investing in education and infrastructure?

Please describe for us Mr. President, the mechanism by which the extraction of money from the private sector lends itself to job formation-in the private sector?

"The rich", aren't they precisely the ones "who don't need it", who also have the ability to put money at risk and foster employment?

Just askin'....

Did Ozippy even MENTION the tragic loss of life over the weekend - Seal Team 6 and other brave soldiers?

The disgust with this fake president has no limits. He is shameless. Iran is the enemy. He already said “I’d side with the Muslims”... well, guess what folks? He’s hacking off every allie we have, kissing up to our enemies.

It’s very cear where his loyalty starts and ends.

God Save and protect us.

He tacked on a brief mention after his campaign speech.

The world waited for a commanding speech that would lay out a plan for the United States to climb its way out of debt. It got a petulant child blaming people for problems and offering no real solutions..........

If you have seen any of his recent performances, you didn’t miss anything. SSDD.
