CNBC just broke in and told the audience that the President has requested airtime and will speak to the nation at 1300hrs EST (12 noon central, 10 AM PST) on the US national debt downgrade.
Developing...
The state dining room is going to be used tonight for a Ramadan dinner.
He may imply "Tea Party downgrade" but he won't say it. He's got all his surrogates to say it; he doesn't need to.
COMPROMISE
This word will be mentioned more than any other today in the Campaigner-in-Chief's speech today.
A corollary to the principle of “never letting a crisis go to waste” is doing what you can to prolong and worsen any crisis that arises.
I predict the bottom will really drop out after he speaks. The Libs will still blame the Tea party of course.
If the market does really plunge, Obama will seize more assets and assume greater power.
IF we had anyone responsible in DC....since this guy knows nothing and is way way over his head...the 25th should be invoked...at least Biden is an American...and loves his country...
Some might be appalled at that graphic....
But that is exactly what they did to us, and not a liberal member of the media or of this administration cares one whit.
What happened to Obama’s separation of government and religion? No flyovers of GOD AND COUNTRY fairs, Perry can’t pray but this SOB can drag out his prayer rug and we pay for it?
He'll announce that the Treasury printing presses will churn out tons more paper money plus he's ordering another new and massive stimulus plan.
Folks, utopia is coming and folks will be able to buy little red and blue wooden houses to put on Park Place and live with the swells after this great new infusion of Monopoly Money.
(Send him to jail, no passing "GO", just directly to JAIL).

I fart in his direction... kenyan fag usurper.

The rise of Hitler and his international clones, past and present, bear a marked and frightening similarity to what’s happening here.
I am convinced that there were and still are powerful forces and ideas at work behind the scenes. Call them the conspiracy, the oligarchs, the super-wealthy elites, human nature, whatever that pass the baton from generation to generation. Motivated by impulses most of us “simple folk” cannot fully understand, while they occasionally fail, they often successfully engineer circumstances that can be predicted to preserve and/or extend their wealth and power (mainly power, as from power flow the riches).
I said that to say this: At Versailles after WWI, some of the cooler heads there warned that the highly punitive provisions of that treaty would cause the German people to become susceptible to the rise of a tyrant promising to restore their national pride and raise their devastated nation to power once again. They got him in the early 30s and the rest is history. That and Obozo’s hatred for Israel makes it doubly difficult to understand why nearly 80% of American Jews voted for this clown. Guess they love their idiotic “progressivism” more than their fellow Jews.
If you don’t yet see a parallel between driving Germany to her knees at Versailles and the intentionally destructive things being done to America — largely sans any meaningful protests or outcry — by the would-be despot in the White House, go back to that NYT crossword or the sports page and order another Starbucks ‘cause it’s gonna be alright — NOT!!!
My fear is that this time it won’t take the 14 years it took Hitler — Versailles ‘(1919) to his appointment as Chancellor (1933) — as the guy selected for the position is ALREADY IN PLACE!
Be afraid. Be VERY AFRAID ESPECIALLY IF WE DON’T OUST HIM AND HIS GANG OF ENABLERS IN 2012.
Gold up $62.50 in one day, somewhere I read Soros has 10 tons he wanted to sell.
Everytime he speaks he fuels whatever fires are burning. Any thing Washington says at this point will be to stop any panic from esculating to protect the banks from any runs.....but Obama never seems to say anything which accomplishes that. He doesn't get it that he really isn't King.
The Ramadan celebration is Wed.

That’s my grocery bill for four months!
There should be a mugshot of the jugear behind the mask photoshopped with a Negative sign in front of however much credit score in that picture.
....MSMBC.....”Obama is also expected to speak about Saturday’s shoot-down of a helicopter in Afghanistan in which 30 U.S. troops were killed — the deadliest incident for U.S. forces in the decade-long war.”
Thanks for link.
He celebrated his downgraded debt deal at MO’s favorite hamburger joint on our dime
