Sorry everyone--should have advertised this. I'll probably be by myself, but that's ok too!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

State of Maine....nice payback to Collins and Snow...

The Conservative Wahoo said...

When will those jobs be created Mr. President?

The Conservative Wahoo said...

"only government" can break the cycle. Tough to hear, but he may be right. But this isn't the way.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

So the tax cuts brought us here? I thought it was a financial sector meltdown and liquidity crisis. How silly of me

The Conservative Wahoo said...

He is an impressive fellow, no doubt about it.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

He makes it sound like if we don't do this plan, the only option being put forward is no plan. This is silly. There are great, smart, balanced plans being suggested.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

...ah, for the future of our children and grandchildren.....

puke.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Good first question.

Fallen said...

A bit of a call to arms...

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Just don't buy the "worst since the great depression" thing. Could be...at some point. But isn't. Early 80's were worse.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Welcome, James!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

He's being disingenuous right now...most people in the republican party and most in congress agree something should be done...just not this!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

He's talking too much...

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Talking way too much....

Fallen said...

Size matters!

Doc Milnamo said...

Yeah good 1st question but the beginning of his answer was funny, "No no no no...." kind of reminded me of, "No no no no you silly woman. Listen to me, I am the One."

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Ah yes, the credit markets...you remember them, the ones who won't have any credit left once this trillion dollar nightmare goes through....

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Welcome, Doc!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Who gives a shit about people who's property values decline. Do they have shelter? Are they making their payments? is anyone taking their house?

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Good second question.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

He's just not as good on his feet. He's good, mind you. Just not as good.

Doc Milnamo said...

OMG, we are suffering from global warming with all the hot air coming out of his mouth. Failed theories of the last 8 years? You're blaming Bush? How about Barney frank, chris dodd...

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Hamas is a terrorist organization! Good for him. Too many people think it is a political party.

Doc Milnamo said...

Strategery!

Doc Milnamo said...

He's more measured right now. he knows he's gonna screw up if he doesn't pace himself!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Suffering from twin evils of talking too much and not knowing what he wants to say....

The Conservative Wahoo said...

I once had an admiral who said, "I like the beginning of your message and the end....make them closer."

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Good question, Chip!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

He's going to cure Washington! Fantastic! Wonderful!

Doc Milnamo said...

Pelosi equals bad habit. Reid equals bad habit.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

He can come over and have drinks at my place, if he' like. Bring along some of those little hottie staffers!

Doc Milnamo said...

Yes, Jon Favreau can bring his little hottie!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

He's full of SHIT. No one is saying DO NOTHING. They are saying DON"T DO THIS!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

What do you mean, if they are sincere about it? Of course they are....they've been telling you that.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

The "i inherited it" line is going to get old....

Doc Milnamo said...

OMG his mind is wandering...just a bunch of spudwaz spewing forth.

NONE OF THIS IS MY FAULT...I INHERITED IT ALL...WAHHHHHH!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

There don't have to be "earmarks" when the Dem policy committee wrote the BILL! They sent a list around and said "what do you want?"

Doc Milnamo said...

To say this is as boring as watching paint dry is an insult to drying paint.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

His answer on making federal buildings more energy efficient is a good one...but how about $80M for new schools in Milwaukee...where there are 15 empty schools!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Nobody is saying medical records electronics is bad...just right now!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

You're living in a house that is over 200 years old, Mr. President.

Doc Milnamo said...

They should still make them NRG effiecient!

Doc Milnamo said...

And let them sit there of course

The Conservative Wahoo said...

But that is what is happening, mr. president. Republicans are disagreeing on the particulars of this bill and your side isn't playing ball.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Yes. Please tell us all how to spend our money mr. president.

Doc Milnamo said...

Yes, taking risks for your ACORN peeps!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

I thought it was republican taxes that caused this Mr. President...so it really is the credit crisis.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Look at that little troll of a human sitting in the front row. I forget her name, but even if I remembered it, if I typed it, my fingers would explode.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

He's giving answers that are too long. I hope someone tells him that.

Doc Milnamo said...

OMG, he is breezy! Net, net man. Bottom line, end of the day!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

You DONT have to spend the money my man!

Doc Milnamo said...

Helen Thomas...he's supposed to go to her for first question.

Doc Milnamo said...

I mean she's supposed to ask the first question.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

AH, that's right. She's a troll.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Bad question, Tapper. Softball.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Man he talks too much.

Doc Milnamo said...

Earlobes...falling...asleep...ahhhhh...

SamShapiro said...

Bryan, I read that he says 4 million jobs will be created. Is that an educated guess or something pulled out of ones rear end?

Anonymous said...

I didn't realize there were going to be so many responsibilities in this job!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

what a lot of doubletalk on the flag draped coffin deal.

Anonymous said...

And did I tell you how we just screwed Zinni?

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Hello, anonymous!

Anonymous said...

I gotta depend on all these guys, 'cuz I don't know jack.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Smartly and effectively! Ooh!

Anonymous said...

Hello, Wahoo! It's really me, Bryan, it just takes too long to type my name in

Anonymous said...

How long until they're back asking for TARP III?

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Obama CAN'T distance himself from the last TARP bailout...his folks were DEEPLY involved in the planning...

Doc Milnamo said...

Castro is envious of POTUS' time on stage!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Hurray Sally!

Anonymous said...

GREAT question Major!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Great question Major Garrett...good answer Barack...definitely make fun of Joe Biden.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

The President's demonization of Fox news thus far in his term has been a low point, no doubt about it.

Bill said...

Is it just me or is Obama already showing the signs physically that the job is stressful and appears to be aging rapidly?

Love that he doesn't have a clue what Joe was talking about.

Anonymous said...

Yes-I'm surprised he called on Major Garrett. What's with that name, do you suppose?

Anonymous said...

MLB hasn't done anything for a decade and isn't going to start now.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Bill--my brother Sean tried to say that the job doesn't age a man...that they age at the same rate.

Anonymous said...

HOLY COW that is one nasty woman.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

SO CALLED TERRORISTS HELEN? WTF?

The Conservative Wahoo said...

I really can't stand that woman.

Anonymous said...

I wish this would end; I really am anxious to see The Bachelor.

Doc Milnamo said...

Get off the stage man

The Conservative Wahoo said...

24!!!!!

Bill said...

24 starts in 9 minutes

The Conservative Wahoo said...

SHUT UP HELEN!

Fallen said...

He's talking to the wrong guy in Russia

The Conservative Wahoo said...

HUFFINGTON POST? Is the Daily Kos next?

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Leahy wants a truth and reconciliation panel...what a jerk.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Doc...no F words, please

Doc Milnamo said...

I deleted a post of mine which dropped the F-bomb on The One for going to the HuffPo.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

HE DOESN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT BIPARTISANSHIP!

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Thank you, Doc.

Doc Milnamo said...

De nada

The Conservative Wahoo said...

...put that behavior aside....kind of like you did down in Williamsburg, huh?

Anonymous said...

Good question Mara. Way to go Obama, blame it on Washington culture.

LIAR LIAR LIAR

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Yes,Barack...the framework...Then they saw the bill and saw all the christmas ornaments hung there...

Anonymous said...

Quit invoking the 'failed policies of the last 8 years.' You own this now pal

Anonymous said...

Can anyone enlighten me on which Republican said we should blow up the public schools? I missed that.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Not bad.

Anonymous said...

I think we should live blog The Bachelor now!

Bill said...

He wants to rename us as the United Socialist States of America. Next will be the new currency The Amero because the dollar will be worthless.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

On to 24! Go get'em Jack!

Fallen said...

Well, clearly using the bully pulpit to shape the national narrative. I think expecting him not to point out that he inherited this mess is naive. Four threads in the narrative he is trying to create here: 1) I inherited this mess, 2) the Republicans (and by extension deregulation/trickle-down fiscal policy) gave it to me, and 3) I will do this with or without you, and 4) we must move now, even if the bill is not perfect.

Anonymous said...

But James, this bill is all but passed. Why is he still yelling at us that it needs to pass?

Fallen said...

Well...because he's trying to construct a narrative.
