I hope there’s good video of this for the Republican candidates to use.

Of course they laughed.

When Stalin gave a speech, people applauded. They clapped, and clapped, and clapped, and clapped, and clapped.

No one wanted to be the first to stop exhibiting praise of the Leader.

“I hope there’s good video of this for the Republican candidates to use.”

I’ve seen it, and it’s good enough quality to use. If it’s not used, then they deserve to lose.

What Zero & company are doing to this country is not being done out of incompetence. It’s deliberate. It’s malicious. And it’s out of a desire to destroy this country as a world power. Dear Leader and friends know precisely what they are doing.

Regulation is killing this country and its economic system. In Indiana, years ago several power companies got together to build a nuclear power plant named Marble Hill. After 8 years, the necessary permits were in place and construction began. Then, a bunch of tree huggers complained that the reactor might cause the water temperature in the discharge cooling pond to rise above natural levels. (Well, duh, that's what a cooling pond is for.) Anyway, after 13 years of delays, most of them permitting processes, they simply gave up. There are dozens of similar stories and thousands of permits-killed-the-investment stories.

I totally agree. Everything that is going on today is not an accident. The goal is to tear down the U.S. and make us totally dependent on the government. What they don’t realize is that Americans will take so much and then take things into their own hands.......one way or another.

I would love to see the funny man make another of his jokes and have it met with stone cold silence. You know he is feeling the heat and all he can think of is to make a joke out of it?

Obama has been shovel-ready for a long time.

Yep. History shows the two things which most prevented the Marxist spread of global communism were 1) the middle class and 2)the Christian Church. Obama and the rest of the left are doing everything possible to destroy both.

Regarding Marble Hill ~ there was a lot more to it than a cooling pond ~ there was the matter of an additional $4 billion in construction costs to make it operational.

The only people to make any money on this project were the lawyers, and then the court cut them off at the knees and they got less than 1/3 of what their minimum take otherwise would have been.

It's really about lawyers.

If the deal with nuke projects was that any losing counsel would be tossed into the reactor I don't think any of them would take the risk.

I looked for material proving improper construction and it wasn't there ~ there had been charges that mistakes were covered over so inspectors couldn't see them but when it came time 30 years later to knock down the building they'd complained about it didn't budge. It took many more tons of dynamite to bring it down.

I suspect the whole project was done in by criminals.

About four months after Porkulus had passed, I got wind of a large IT contract that had been let by a Northeastern state government.

The project was rather large, and would require from 6 to 12 months to complete. The goal of the project was to implement changes to the state’s IT systems and databases “in order to comply with the reporting requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act”.

I knew right there and then that Porkulus would be a huge flop. Even if they wanted to spend a billion dollars to try and goose the economy, the government is STRUCTURALLY INCAPABLE of doing so. For cryin’ out loud, it was going to take close to a year to change the computer systems just to comply with the reporting requirements!

It looks as if Barry just figured that out yesterday.

Absolutely. It irritates me when people say he’s incompetent. He is not. He is destroying the US as he intended.
