Live Bloggin' The Historic Speech Of The Century

Ow! Hey! Stop throwing those tomatoes! Yeah, I know, it's probably gonna be the same old crap. I don't expect Obama to take responsibility for any of this mess, display a modicum of grace or class, or even remotely indicate that he represents all Americans. I don't expect any flashes of insight, let alone political brilliance. It's fairly difficult to be disappointed when you expect less than nothing.

BUT, we're being told he has something to say...so pull up a comfy chair, put your feet up, and grab your television brick. It's time for the greatest show on earth!

  1. I hope it's a short speech. One or two minutes would suit me fine.

    Ptooey.

  3. I have a distinct feeling that I'll be talking to myself here because the rest of you are too intelligent to waste your time watching this BS. Hah! :D

    So far it's a ginormous glitterly show as JEM does the handshake thang all around the room.

  4. To paraphrase "if you don't agree with me and do exactly what I say you're creating a political circus." Yawn.

  5. I think Turbo Timmy is about to cry! Too funny (and staged).

    JEM says everything in his bill will be paid for. He doesn't say when or how.

  6. Whoops, I dozed off for a moment. Now he's yakking about putting construction workers back to work building schools...it's for the children!

    No more earmarks. No more boondoggles. Yep.

  7. Rah rah unions. Blah blah blah. Pass my bill right away! Pass it now! Pass it for the teachers! Think of the children!

  8. Mitch McConnell looks like he's about to barf on his shoes. Joe Biden looks confused, which is normal I guess. Pelosi looks...hideous.

  9. A week from Monday he's presenting a more extensive jobs bill. Huh?

    ACK! Al Franken! Whew, that one snuck up on me. Now where was I...

    He's talking about reforming medicare. I'll believe it when I see it. And fix the tax code! Tax the rich! YEARGGHHH! Blah blah blah.

  10. Here I am, lady red! Just us two gals listening to the JEM read his campaign speech off the teleprompters.

    Blech.

    He lost the gospel-thumpin' accent he's been using on the campaign trail. Guess the beltway boys don't buy it as easily as the little people...

    ReplyDelete
  11. Blah, blah blah blah....blah....blah blah blah...blah blah blah...

    I'm praying for the teleprompter to break so we can hear about kids getting their breathalizer tests...

    At least THAT would be entertaining. Oh well, he's toast in 14 months anyway.

  12. I agree we can't afford wasteful spending

    bwahaahaahaahahahahahhaaahaahahaahaahahahahahha

  13. I think we've lost lady red, am I the only one listening to this shyte?

  14. He's ordered a review of ALL government regulations. ALL. Are you kidding me? LMAO!!!

    Jeebus, this guy's cheese has done slid off his cracker.

    More union cheerleading. The whole speech has been laced with union cheerleading. He should have aspired to be a pompon girl instead of POTUS).

    Duck! I think the unicorns and rainbows are about to leap from the rafters.

  15. As we witnessed in England recently, he just doesn't know when to STOP!

    Who the F is he talking to anyway, third graders? This has to be one of the most sophmoric jumble of platitudes ever.

    ReplyDelete
  16. There you are, lady red! How much ya betting he keeps going for at least another 10 minutes? It's only been about 35 so far.

  17. Noah just said the same thing you said in #15. LOL!

  18. Reading it here is SO much more interesting than actually listening to the Twit-In-Chief, himself.

    I actually heard his opening as I was driving through the pouring rain to get home from work. I was already unimpressed.

    Of course Bohner's gushy intro had already set my teeth on edge.

    tee hee, well-said lady red! Thank gawd, he's done. Where's the confetti and band playing????

  20. Oh thank goodness he's DONE. That was so freakin' lame.

  21. Hi Dances! Thanks for joining us! For those of you who missed the speech...you didn't.

  22. Let's see, union members and possible future Obama voters?

    He is talking to mental third graders.

  23. I heard only about 3 minutes, but that was more than enough.

  24. Could he stick his nose any farther in the air? I can see his adenoids from here!

    Twit-In-Chief ;))

    Lord help us.

    Charles just said he thought it was one of the greatest campaign speeches he ever heard.

    No kidding, that's one of the reasons I can't abide to watch the guy. He looks like he's just caught a whiff of nasty Tea Party miasma.

    IT'S BUSH'S FAULT, PPLS!!!

  28. DWT, it's either the weeny chartreuse nerfballs guy or Camilla's squeeze. Either way is funny! :))

  29. Charles Krauthammer.

    I was watching the regular FOX channel because I can't stand Shep Smith. They have already switched back to the local news readers.

    He gave the speech in the evening to keep the market from tanking.

  30. Ahh, OK - remember, I am the man without TV, here.

    By choice.

  31. Oh heavens, I haven't looked in on LGF in YEARS, lady red.

  32. CK? Really??? LMAO! It never occurred to me that you were talking about CK.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Really florrie, I thought you were peeking in on CJ's comic book emporium. Too funny!

    ReplyDelete
  34. You know, Dances, I watch less and less. Most of what I need to hear I can get on the computer. The only thing I'd miss is my MMA pay-per-views.

    I hate paying Comcast frickin' $90 a month for all this vacuous crap. I need to persuade my better half but I see us getting rid of the cable and just having the big screen for XBox games and movies.

  35. Lou Dobbs: an address to the nation in two installments.

    Obama thinks our attention span is so short that he can try a whole 'nother speech in two weeks. Gahhh.

  36. That was a direct quote from CK, lady red, although it didn't express Charles's droll manner as he said it :-)

  38. Jeebus, Drudge is reporting a MASSIVE power outage in San Diego.

    Check this out.

    The San Diego County Sheriff's Department confirmed that its substations all over the county were without power. In addition, viewers from Chula Vista in the south to Oceanside in the north and as far east as Alpine called Fox 5 to report they were without power.

    Fox 5 Facebook fans report that the outage has also affected Tijuana and parts of Orange County.

    KTLA, Fox 5's sister station in Los Angeles, reports that parts of Orange County are without power, but Los Angeles has not been affected.

    Authorities said power was out in El Centro in Imperial County. KSWT-TV reported that power was out in Yuma, Ariz., although Phoenix had power.

    Mexican television reported that power was out in Baja California as far south as Ensenada.

    The San Diego Trolley is without power. There are reports of people trapped in elevators in downtown San Diego.

    All outbound flights have been canceled at Lindbergh Field, but inbound planes are being allowed to land, airport officials said. The FAA said that regional air traffic controllers are working on backup generators.


    That's some outage.

    ReplyDelete
  39. More here from the LA Times.

    Across San Diego, businesses are closed, traffic is snarled and the trolley system is down. San Diego International Airport was on backup generators.

    There were reports that power was also out in southern Orange County, Imperial County, Tijuana, Arizona and Palm Springs.

    The city of San Diego has set up its emergency operations center.

  40. Touchdown Green Bay! My Packers are lookin' gooood! :D

    Oh heck, am I off-topic again? Shucks. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Thank you, ladies, for your sacrifice in watching 'the speech', your tolerance for pain is much higher than mine. And thank you also for the humor infusion/interpretation.

    I think we're at the point where the only thing we can do is laugh at the antics of the JEM, at least until November 2012. The page has turned on he and his crew and they no longer know what to do... but the same old tired BS.

    That's something about the power outage, any more news? I'll see.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hi Luther! Yeah, florrie and I took one for the team. :)) We may never be the same. I'm a little twitchy and drooly.

    Oh wait...I was twitchy and drooly BEFORE the speech too. Never mind.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I'm twitchy and drooly too.

    But I'm still hot. It just comes in flashes now.

  46. Oh, thank you for doing this so I didn't have to.

    I was occupied with re-watching episodes of Mad Men and listening to my sump pump go off about every minute.

  47. I know the Messiah was spreading the gospel tonight, but there was lots of paint to watch dry in the great white north.

  48. LMFAO!

    You should have your own comedy channel.

    "this guy's cheese has done slid off his cracker."

    LOL.
    I did.
    Literally.

    Matt had to come over and check out the noise.

  49. I saw this cartoon in the Independent (which is extreme lefty pro-Obama yet anti-American, if you get my drift), and was surprised at how it hits the nail on the head (if I understand it correctly).

  50. By the way, what does JEM stand for? From context it means the Prez, but how do you get from one to the other? :-/

    ReplyDelete
  51. I second Luther. Thank you flo and lr! You two are a complete riot!

    My ADD kicks in way too hard listening to _any_ politician let alone Obama. And I'm too old for bonghits to get through it. So no speeches for me - I get more out of watching the people who watch the speeches.

    annie: JEM := Jug Eared Messiah. I believe Ari came up with that one, but I've lost track.

    Personally I'd refer to our President simply as MF. Miserable Failure. This is the label the Left hung on Bush - and in truth they had a kernel of a point in that one.

    I think there's more than a kernel of truth pinning it on Obama. And many on the left are beginning to agree (e.g. Richard Cohen's claim that Obama's "lost the Hamptons". I've been liberal, moderate and conservative in my life and Obama's singular problem as President is not where he lies on the political spectrum. He's just not competent.)

  52. lewy, I couldn't agree more with what you said.

    ReplyDelete
  53. @flo, what part did you agree with? The part where I admitted I was too old for bonghits? Or are you saying you're too old for bonghits? Or what?

    ;) /runs away giggling...

    ReplyDelete
  54. I know I am late to the conversation. I couldn't sleep much so I watched part of the speech. Unreal, for the 1st time I feel like telling everyone here that I am Canadian. You know like the libs abroad used to say when W was in office.

    Anne went to the Independent to see the large version of the cartoon. they left out one huge thing, and anvil on his back called public and world opinion...well think you get my drift.

    Here the BEEB was falling all over their toilet paper to fawn all over him. UGH!

    Lewy14, I concur.

    Not one word in his speech about energy?? Who the hell is going to power TOTUS, fairy utopian pixie dust??

    ReplyDelete
  55. OK. That's three here who are too old for bong hits. Any others?

    ReplyDelete
  56. lewy, I meant your last 2 paragraphs in particular although I think you're too old for bonghits. Medical marijuana, maybe, but bonghits?

    I haven't had one in a couple decades but since I don't drink, I admit a bonghit is sounding pretty good these days.


    *I literally laugh out loud at the thought of lewy running away, giggling!!!*
