Northern Virginia Community College, Annandale, Virginia - THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody! Thank you! Thank you so much. Everybody have a seat, have a seat.
It’s good to be back. Good to be back in Annandale. Good to be back at NOVA. How is everybody doing? (Applause.)
I want to make a couple of acknowledgments. First of all, Congressman Gerry Connolly is here. (Applause.) Dr. George Gabriel, the provost of Northern Virginia Community College, is here. (Applause.) And the president, Bob Templin, is here. (Applause.)
It is great to be back. I keep on coming back because Jill Biden tells me to keep on coming back. (Laughter.) I tend to listen to her. I always say Vice President Joe Biden’s best quality is Jill Biden. (Laughter.) Though Jill couldn’t be here today because she’s teaching all day and she does not skip class for anybody, including the President of the United States. (Laughter.)
What I want to do is just make a few quick remarks at the top, and then I’m just going to open it up for questions. This gives me a chance to get out of the immediate environs of Washington and hear directly from voters and have a conversation with them. And so I’m grateful that all of you took the time.
Last week, I laid out a plan to get America’s finances in order. It was a plan for shared prosperity through shared sacrifice and shared responsibility. So before I take your questions, I want to talk a little bit about this plan briefly, because it goes to the heart of what’s happening at this campus and schools like it all across America....

Lame duck zero in denial!
We don’t have a President at this time.
Every time I try reading one of his speeches, I am reminded of the unending drone of speeches at the Supreme Soviet in the USSR before the end of the cold war: going on and on and on and on without saying much of any import, other than how wonderful things will be once these socialist programs get underway.
The vitriol with which he attacks those who disagree with him is certainly reminiscent of a Marxist dictator. Of course, that’s what he wishes he was.
Seems he cannot get enough of telling people that he is the President of the United States, as if we did not already know...jez
“It was a plan for shared prosperity through shared sacrifice and shared responsibility.”
“Ya know I can’t come right out and say, `From each according to his ability to each ‘ ya da ya da ya da,
but you know what I mean.
Thank you, thank you, you’re a great crowd!
Man are my arms tired! I just flew in from right next door so I could sample real voters, all government workers.
(crickets)
Take my wife. No, really.... hey, is this thing on?”
A “Town Hall” which was, as reported this morning by NBC NEWS4, “closed to the public”.
” and say you’re driving around in that old beater that gets maybe 8 MPG...”
Something like your up-armoured pResidential limo there, bamster?
The only “beater” I ever owned that got 8 mpg was a 1969 4x4 Ford F-250 and that was when I was towing a two-ton boat through the mountains.
The bamster once more shows how smart and connected he is to us suffering peons, doesn’t he?
What a bunch of dreck. Thank goodness I skimmed the “speech”; otherwise I’d be wanting more than that minute of my life back.
We wouldn’t want any of those unwashed, ignorant, rethuglican, racist, bitter-clinger tea-baggers soiling our pep rally, would we?
No Va (no go in Spanish) is a perfect phrase for this administration. It was also a government motors car which they tried to sell in Mexico using that name. (idiots)
Pure Marxism.
I remember that. It was a projected surplus that was artificially inflated because Clintoon used a different method of calculating it.
Priceless quote from the speech: “We’re not going to allow our roads and our bridges to grow more and more congested while places like China are building new roads and new airports and thousands of mile of high-speed rail. “
And where exactly is China getting that money? Interest payments from the U.S. on our debt. The disconnect is astounding.

This guy actually must think that you can drive your car around all day, and then put energy from your car into your house at night. "Dumber than a box of rocks" is the only adequate description.
” whatever energy is stored in your car battery goes back into your house, and then when you come back out at night it’s recharged and you’re ready to go.” “
You can tell he’s never owned a battery operated vehicle.
If you drain it, then it’s dead.
He must think they can regenerate independent of any source.
Scars on Obama's head?
Did anyone else notice two lines of intersecting lines on Obama's head, on the right side, as if he had a head operation sometime in his life?
It looks like Obama just got a close-cropped haircut and the two scars are very obvious.
Anybody here know anything about those two scars?
Am I imagining things, or, are there two long, almost parallel scars on the side of Obam's head, just above his right ear?
Has anyone in the media ever asked Obama about those scars? Just wondering.
