my question is that in contrast to all these new, green jobs he's talking about, what does he think is going to happen to the non-green jobs he's talking about? Are they going to miraculously transform to green jobs overnight? The wildcatter goes home on Monday and returns to a job on Tuesday with Vestas? Veritable hand-waving here.
Historically, Presidents sent a letter to Congress for the State of the Union....irrelevant. The Executive has the staff and the capacity to budget. That's who does it now.
Rush is an idiot - I almost voted for Obama...almost - but I'm really not hearing anything concrete. And I put a lot of blame on the previous administration, but he asked for the job, now he needs to stop "looking backward."
Yes, under RR, when the GDP was one sixth of what it is now, and the Dow was about a quarter....the growth since then in no small part due to the cuts made in the interim
Throw Netanyahu under the bus BO! That's right...the elected leader of a responsible democracy vs. the elected leaders of terror organizations! Love that logic...
I hope this doesn't happen, but if he doesn't get SECTREAS some help soon, things might turn south with a quickness and the press will more actively report on how his holier-than-lobbiest stance has hampered his attempt at good governance.
I'm with you until I hear the word 'I inherited this' or 'I take full responsibility even though I'm not really responsible.'
ReplyDeleteDoes it seem vain to anyone else to use the phrase 'my first term' ?
ReplyDeleteHello! Sorry i'm late, just back from dinner.
ReplyDeletefirst term stuck with me too
ReplyDeletestill on the campaign trail and now with rehearsed questions
ReplyDeleteit used to be a right in this country to fail as well as succeed
ReplyDeleteGood question, Chuck
ReplyDeletebabbling brook....
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he's going to be offering anything new tonight. This is putting me to sleep already.
ReplyDeletestruggling...
ReplyDeleteHere comes the 95% tax cut comment.
ReplyDeleteReagan did the same babbling.... yet you all called him the "great communicator" double standard?
ReplyDeleteDid he do his remarks without a teleprompter?
ReplyDeleteNo, government does not need to invest in education BEYOND K-12, Mr. President.
ReplyDeletedont believe there was a prompter there but he does have cards
ReplyDeleteReagan didn't babble.
ReplyDeleteCards are fine...they all use them
ReplyDeletemy question is that in contrast to all these new, green jobs he's talking about, what does he think is going to happen to the non-green jobs he's talking about? Are they going to miraculously transform to green jobs overnight? The wildcatter goes home on Monday and returns to a job on Tuesday with Vestas?
ReplyDeleteVeritable hand-waving here.
AP, NBC, ABC nothing better than questions from slavish supporters.
ReplyDeleteInherit $1.3 Trillion, turn it into $7 Trillion....
ReplyDeleteThere it is! He found a way to work in 'inherited.'
ReplyDeletebecause you use budget gimmicks in the out years.
ReplyDeleteYour growth assumptions were twice theirs in the out years....
ReplyDelete'Nobody is questioning that?' Talk to Judd Gregg lately, Mr. Prez?
ReplyDeletei find disturbing his use of "we" and "I" & "they"
ReplyDeleteYou don't put out alternative budgets....the Executive puts out budgets.
ReplyDeleteIf he had been a Navy man, he wouldn't be leaning on that "tired argument" of inheriting the problem.
ReplyDeletehistorically COngress use to produce the budget.... OMB's budget is a fairly recent occurence
ReplyDeleteIf he had been a Navy man, he wouldn't be leaning on that "tired argument" of inheriting the problem.
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't someone do Helen Thomas a favor and put a bag over her head.
ReplyDeleteNice job, Chip.
ReplyDeleteHistorically, Presidents sent a letter to Congress for the State of the Union....irrelevant. The Executive has the staff and the capacity to budget. That's who does it now.
ReplyDeleteMexico! Called that one....
ReplyDeletedrug cartels that have gotten completely out of hand.....words that make you go hmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteStars and Stripes! Cool!
ReplyDeleteI came with an open mind hoping to be convinced. Where is that hope that he promised? He has given us change now I hope it will not last much longer.
ReplyDeletehas he been to a VA hospital yet?
ReplyDeletebeen reading reports that our forces are getting fatter in general...wondering about long term diabetes treatments' impact on mil/vet health care..
ReplyDeletehe has used a whole host of "hosts."
ReplyDeletedid anyone start the "ahhhh" counter?
ReplyDeleteOver-exposed, babbling, all Obama--all the time...
ReplyDeletehow about acknowledging the fact that someone declared a procurement holiday a bit ago and we lost our procurement capacity and expertise over time.
ReplyDeletethat is the dumbest response I've heard him give.
ReplyDeleteIs there any hope at all?
ReplyDeleteTHis stuff is HARD....boo hooo
ReplyDelete"invest" sounds so much nicer than "waste money", doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI recommend a host of Rube Goldberg mechanisms
ReplyDeleteI know he's gotten a lot of praise for reaching out to the American public, but I just can't see where this performance tonight is going to help him.
ReplyDeleteThere it is again! We can do it MY way, or we can do nothing....there are NO OTHER CHOICESSSSSSS
ReplyDeleteIt took a couple of days because I needed to see what the polls would say first.
ReplyDeletePress is starting to get tougher. Know what I talk about before I speak? What about knowing what is in a bill before you sign it?
ReplyDeleteD'oh!
ReplyDeleteyou all are incredibly negative towards anything he is trying to do. Is this a Rush fest?
ReplyDeleteSee Blog Title--"Conservative Wahoo". Perhaps a hint there as to the opinions of the blogger and many readers?
ReplyDeleteYes, dissing the Brits was a nice start.
ReplyDeleteAh yes...we're POPULAR again. Woohoo
ReplyDeleteI AGREE WITH THE PRESIDENT HERE ANONYMOUS>>>WE SHOULD CUT THE MORTGAGE DEDUCTION.
ReplyDeleteRush is an idiot - I almost voted for Obama...almost - but I'm really not hearing anything concrete. And I put a lot of blame on the previous administration, but he asked for the job, now he needs to stop "looking backward."
ReplyDeleteThere it is Sally!
ReplyDeleteCan we cut the mortgage deduction after I've benefited from it a few years?
ReplyDeleteI knew he wouldn't let me down!
ReplyDeleteYes, under RR, when the GDP was one sixth of what it is now, and the Dow was about a quarter....the growth since then in no small part due to the cuts made in the interim
ReplyDelete40K busdrivers not in 28% bracket.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about fairness, after all.
ReplyDeletegreat answer regarding deductions...
ReplyDeletecutting mortgage deduction coming from an apartment rat...grrr
ReplyDeleteDon't be an entitlement junkie, Bill!
ReplyDeleteregarding the deduction he can claim he is correct.
ReplyDeletei am a conservative therefore i am a junkie
ReplyDeleteEbony?
ReplyDeleteIs People magazine there tonight?
in the future, we are supposed to have hover cars, which shouldn't need infrastructure...
ReplyDeleteAh yes, veterans! We can always look tough on defense (on the cheap) by mentioning vets!
ReplyDeleteIs that really true about homeless vets? How does one gather that info?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/03/24/komodo.dragon/index.html
ReplyDeletetoo cool not to pass along....
He didn't wrestle with anything related to abortion. Please
ReplyDeletenot cool but http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/24/florida.va.facilities/index.html
ReplyDeleteI love how he cites the opinions of others all the time; I expect to see the verizon network guys standing behind him....
ReplyDeleteNever have I heard anybody say so much without making a substantive point.
ReplyDeleteGood one Bryan.
ReplyDeleteWe can expect a substantial downturn in the markets tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLast question...short one this time....
ReplyDeleteThrow Netanyahu under the bus BO! That's right...the elected leader of a responsible democracy vs. the elected leaders of terror organizations! Love that logic...
ReplyDeleteyou know we're serious because we sent the "special" envoy.
ReplyDeletenaughty?
ReplyDeleteKnotty
ReplyDeletei'm dumb
ReplyDeleteHe grows more human, more average, more beatable every day....
ReplyDeletei take it back there was a prompter moreover a large TV
ReplyDeleteMy wife wants him to leave office by tomorrow morning. LOL
ReplyDeleteOMG---who is this Alexis Glick on Fox?
ReplyDeleteKrauthammer: workmanlike, not inspiring.
ReplyDeleteNina Easton: can't circle the square on healthcare
Juan Williams: charitable donation comment was stupid
I did appreciate the persistence comment. You know that's how we asians are so good at mathematics and rice cultivation.
ReplyDelete60+ % of Americans are quite pleased with Mr. Obama.... beatable -- laughable.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous...Obama's numbers are lower than GWB's at this point in his administration...just thought you'd like to know....
ReplyDeleteyup... you keep following those FOX polls... according to the PEW he is 6 points higher than Bush +60 days
ReplyDeletehe isn't doing the heavy lifting. his man Geithner is getting crushed, but POTUS remains somewhat insulated.
ReplyDeleteHe's attempting to sell his programs/budget...and he is not connecting to Wall Street or any other street. Failure, thus far.
ReplyDeleteRasmussen has him at 53 and Zogby right at 50.
ReplyDeleteI hope this doesn't happen, but if he doesn't get SECTREAS some help soon, things might turn south with a quickness and the press will more actively report on how his holier-than-lobbiest stance has hampered his attempt at good governance.

ReplyDeleteLove the Tourette's-like "Fox" that spews out of liberals...funny stuff.
i just imagined a great visual of Fox-Tourette's
ReplyDeleteAnomymous
ReplyDeleteHussein's approval rating will NEVER go below 12%.
