Will any reporter have the nerve to ask Obama why he is always late compared to President Bush who was always on time?

[Spirit of Liberty]

Dropped at the open; got down 178 points right at 11 a.m. Has recovered a bit since.

I think he should be pressured into working through his next scheduled vacation. If we could put a stop to his personal extravagance we could almost pay off the national debt.

[famousdayandyear]

Just tuned in to CBS. Look at his eyes. He’s STONED!

[douginthearmy]

Did he just say that after the debt limit is increased he wants to nationalize the construction industry?

[kristinn]

Good point!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“we have to pass the bill to see what is in it”

As I’ve said before;

JUST LIKE A STOOL SAMPLE!

[ColdOne]

True! I worry that he has a time table already planned out. He never misses a vacation.

[cblue55]

Would love to be a fly on the wall while they are waiting to start the teleprompter late. I’ll bet the $hit is flying!

I don't know what took me so long, but this should have been posted a long time ago in this thread:

Folklore and Oddities

The French court became so enamored with green peas that in Paris in 1695 it was common practice for aristocratic women to make them a late evening snack between dinner and bedtime. From the court of French King Louis XIV, Madame de Maintenoy wrote to Cardinal de Noailles: “. . . There are some ladies who, having supped, and supped well, take peas at home before going to bed, at the risk of an attack of indigestion. It’s a fashion, a craze!”

Even kings are not immune to overindulgence—some are even well known for their gourmandising. After overindulging in peas, Louis XIV summoned his doctor to offer him relief from indigestion.

I missed all but the end was he trying to appear moderate like he is not asking for class warfare? Did he say he inherited it?

How many of his usual words did he say?

[Cboldt]

-- drunken sailors spend their own money. --

And most of them quit spending when they run out of money.

“He never misses a vacation.”

This year, the month of Ramadan starts August 1st.

That’s why Omoslem is so rushed to settle this.

In 2010, Omoslem took 4 (FOUR) back-to-back 1-week vacations, which added up to the EXACT month of Ramadan.

Coincidence? I think not.

[TribalPrincess2U]

I would like to know what ever happened to the equal time thing.

When a dem said something, a Republican was allotted equal time on TV. I’m not sure but I think the dems started that.

Are the stations charging too much or did they just stop accepting Republicans face time?

Either way, someone should be putting out speeches so both sides are represented and counteract 0bamaeo’s lies.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Why, thank you, sir. Thanks for doing the job I don’t have the stomach to do (watching The Great Prevaricator).

I thought I hated clinton... but actually I can find something positive about him, like the Haiti relief for example. But zippy the ass clown? I concur with you on point number 4.

I wonder if Barry eats his peas smooshed into mashed potato's on his knife? Moochelle might object except that Barry would have a good comeback...”At least I eat off a plate and not out of a bowl.”

[Hojczyk]

Obama new taxes or no deal...You know the rats are smart run up the debt...and say we need a compromise..and the GOP caves every time..

[depressed in 06]

Isn’t the payroll tax the one that supports Social Security? Hasn’t this tax cut cut the solvency date of Social Security, and, didn’t most people only see at best a $4 to $8 per week cut, where $20 would be required to get to his $1000?

It is extremely painful watching this clown.
