5 All your 401Ks is mine now!

6 Obama sucks cock.

7 Time for a Goldfinger remake?

8 Aaaaaand we're back.

9 Gold is good. But it ain't food.

10 Don't worry about me, I'm doing fine...

11 President Assclown wants taxes raised!!!!!!!  It is our only hope!

12 *cough*

13

One funny thing: Remember when all the smart set made fun of Glenn Beck's audience for buying up gold...?

 

Obviously, Glenn Beck and Gold Line crashed the market.  I see a congressional hearing coming soon. 

14
Yeah but the good news is that gas prices will probably drop a few pennies, tomorrow.

And Osama is finally dead.

So Obama is doing a few things right.

15 I just hope Preznit Bike Helmet doesn't start talking up gold.

16 Could we get President Golden Throat to talk about something else for a change? Go crash the Russian wheat harvest or something.

How about his reelection campaign?  Can't wait to watch him crash the hell out of that.

17

yeah everyone also laughed at Becks drama  how the sky was falling.

woops

18 All this, of course, is the Tea Party's fault, even if that line of reasoning makes literally no sense whatsoever.

Fannie and Freddie were downgraded...can't believe they were AAA status to begin with.

Problem with some of the gold Beck was peddling was that it was just paper, and not hard asset gold, and I never appreciated Beck not being clear on that.

19 AndrewStilesNRO  Dem messaging on S&P downgrade: 1) Meh, what do they know? We're still a AAA country! 2) Panic! Look what the Tea Party did!!

20 Buy GOLD! or I'll stab a pencil through your soft palate......

21
Who fucking gives a flying fig about the markets.

Can we take a moment to celebrate the special man we have? Let's enjoy these times while we can, folks.

22 President Downgrade needs to resign, do it for the country Obama.

Goldfinger: No Mr T-Bond, I expect yor attractiveness to die. And i'll give you an upraised goldfinger as my salute.

 

It's a short film, but it's very relevent and hip to the Now.

25 Hey, um, we need all that gold.  We'll give you IOUs in exchange.

I don't understand this, can someone  smarter than I explain it?

27 Someone else asked this but I will too - where is all the money going?  Is it cashing out?  Gold?  Soros?  Blofeld?

28 the Smart People bought gold at $500 and then sold at $700 or so

or, Glen Beck was smarter than Them.  Crazy times we live in..........

My class ring is worth hundreds of dollars

29

Moody's repeated a warning it could downgrade the United States before 2013 if the fiscal or economic outlook weakened significantly.

 

Impossible!  Today, President Obama said that America will always have a AAA rating!  And I agree.  You bitter clingers are just trying to tank the market more on speculation.  Remember, this is a Tea Party Downgrade!

30 You can't eat gold.

Of course you can't eat shotgun shells either, but I'm pretty sure you can get all the food you might need with them presuming the Obamawreckovery continues.

31
Let's cherish the man while we recall special moments.

"Obama (with toned arms and a strong back) puts on his headphones for his iPod to listen to pop music. He hums quietly. Then he jumps on a fitness bike. He pushes three times on the pedals –- but then can’t be bothered with it."

32 We need to stay the course and not give into the socialist morons.  Cut the budget, imbeciles.

33 I want to scream at the television.

NOPE!

37 The Summer of Obama:  Embrace the Suck

38 Obama is so detached from reality I'll be he truly has no idea why this is happening.  I would not be surprised if he really believed it was the tea party's fault.

39 I think its gonna be one hell of a year.  Our financial heavy hitters are banking on (getting all their ducks in a row) for spring 2013.

And if Perry get the nod... hold on to your hats,  He better be Reagan.

40 Fannie and Freddie were downgraded...can't believe they were AAA status to begin with.

Since they were part of the federal behemoth in all but name...

41 When it is at, say, 3000 next November 1, and with unemployment up at maybe 14 percent or so, and some of those millionaires and billionaires having smoked the 12-gage pipe, could it possibly matter who is running against the JEF?

More ammo.  More bottled water.  Canned food.  New luggy tires for the 4x4 pickup.  Ours and the dog's vaccinations all up to date.  Shit.  What else?

Umm....what? O_O

46 So....President O'Bummer says we're a triple A country, but his party says the downgrade is the Tea Party's fault...

...thus, we're still a Triple A country because of the Tea Party?

47
I know you all remember that story from 2008. But did you read that above about the bike?

Obama failed to negotiate an exercise bike.

So he said fuck it, after he couldn't get it to work -- you know, the pedals and shit -- and moves on.

48 Uhhh... Sarah Palin  emails anyone?

Geez, guess I missed the call on this one, huh?

That's all I can think of that makes sense.

Now, if we can just hold on for 15 more months.

65 @55 I'm beginning to think that Obama is not a Manchurian candidate.  He has to be a double agent working for our side in an effort to discredit the left for generations.

That explains why the media has been pushing the "Obama is conservative" meme lately. 

66

Thanks Ace.

This president is incapable of speaking directly to the American people in a genuine way. Today's speech was absolutely terrible, just terrible.

To blame the downgrade on anyone other than his own party and administration is so far beyond the pale of credibility demonstrates we are clearly dealing with folks who have no compunction.

Speaking in such petulant terms will further divide this nation and drive the markets south.

This is what pre-collapse tastes like.  

67 Tomorrow, I'm going to read some more words written by someone else and hopefully the market will drop below 10,000. That would be so awesome. I could do this every day... Moochelle, let's get some BBQ and celebrate with a party. Invite some hip hop friends again.

68 Remember when all the smart set made fun of Glenn Beck's audience for buying up gold...? Remember when we confiscated it for the 'good of the country'?

Good.  Because we need to clean house in both the Senate and House too.

78 before beck was saying it Peter Schiff has been saying it and meredith whitney was kicked around lately and look, she was right.

a lot of beck's audience couldn't afford to buy gold.  As it is now, a lot of folks are suddenly wanted possession of their gold and well let's just say, it's interesting.

79 Watch private gold ownership be nixed, as FDR did, as some sort of trumped up means of preventing 'speculators' from 'irreparably hurting our economy'.

Purchase numismatic gold and silver and if you are 59.5 years old or older get the sam hill out of mutual funds and out of dollar denonimated assets.

The next play and the only remaining play will be eventually to nationalize interest bearing 401(k) type deferred assets in order to provide liquification to the fed and treasury.

Oh, think that's in the twilight zone? 

We ain't seen nothing yet.

Turbulence is the only known variable in this horrific mess.

That's because you're a Nazi. 

110 I see Obama is having two fundraisers today.

Maybe he can donate that money to the unemployed?

Or perhaps the people who lost their 401k's in the market today?

Or maybe put a down payment on the debt?

These are unquestionably, across the board, the worst markets and economic conditions I have seen in 26 years.

I used to think that the double dip consisted of (1) October 2008 and (2) March 2009.

It's a plot, a devious, twisted, and deceptive plan to make things as bad as can be, temporarily! For the next eight months the economy will start shrinking, unemployment will remain over 9%, interest rates will be going up slowly, food prices will rise, and the wars continue.

Then amazingly next July or August unemployment will drop, the GDP will pop, prices increases will stop, there will be no new tax increases and this will continue for three more months up to the election. 

Obama will be declared our saviour and appointed to his next ten year term by acclamation of the Mainstream Media. No need to vote. 

130 Says Obama can be "landslided" in 2012. Let's not forget the Stygian stables of Congress. Boehner, don't you get too comfortable.

160 Hidden inside Moody's warning was an implicit endorsement of Ryan budget plan.

161

His speech (apart from the appropriate nod to the SEALs), was terrible for this, if no other, reason: 

if the goal is to reassure a market in the middle of a freakout because of the debt downgrade, repeating the same vague and partisan bromides you uttered from on high before the downgrade is the equivalent of saying "I got nothin'."

And the markets reacted accordingly. 

162 Obama WILL be reelected, trust me crackers!

163 so, maybe we are experiencing the beginning of something different than Great Depression 2.0 to what Iceland just experienced, the "there is no there there," downfall of the market. This is scary because who knows what QE3 will do to us all.

Says Obama can be "landslided" in 2012.

I'm not sure we have that much time. It's true that anticipation of a conservative landslide in November '12 might pick up business confidence well in advance of the election, the way that the prospect of a Democrat sweep in '08 helped tank the economy back then.

But still. The Dems just got handed a $2.5 trillion invoice to buy votes and further erode our credit rating. They still have the mass media and tens of millions of easily-fooled voters at their disposal. November 2012 is about 16 months away and it seems like a lifetime.

I'm thinking of this summer as an event horizon. We have no way of predicting what awaits us, except knowing that it'll involve a lot of hurt. The one certainty I have is that there's no fix and there's no going back. (OK, two certainties.)

For the record, I'm already starting to think of the financial crisis of 2007–2009 as the tranquil, care-free days of a long-gone era.

If they do QE 3, people like me and Frau nicht-ein-Nazi Stan, who have been 'all cash' for years, will see our savings disappear ( even more than they've already disappeared )

What did Jefferson say about the blood of tyrants and watering the Tree of Liberty?

241

ok,  a question ( you don't have to pay attention to it)

If the Republicans lost in 2008 because of  dealing with  the stock market fun in Sept.08  &Tarp .

what are we looking at now?

do we have a  poll number on how well anyone other than a Dem  blame is working?

242 Ole' cankles Hillary sure is quiet these days. Wonder why.

243 By election day, if this keeps up, we may have troops in the streets.  (American troops, if we're lucky.)  And hunting Democrats for their pelts will not only be legal, but encouraged (with no bag limit).

I think what astonishes me isn't the collapse (that could be foreseen since the 'kinder, gentler' Bush I term, when we knew that Reagan was not only not revered by the GOP 'caretakers', but that they'd actively RUN from conservative principles).  No, the thing that shocks me is the speed at which the decline is taking hold.  It reminds me of watching Eastern Europe go from Warsaw Pact slave states to democracies, almost in the space of a nightly newscast.  Only this time, we are going in reverse, because I'm prepared to bet a month's income that both parties' answer to this crisis will be...more government.  It always is.

We failed.  Our children will know narrower lives and tougher prospects.  Our decling years will be spent remembering better days, like those old-money English families that watch their grand homes sold to rock stars and Arabs to live in flats that get spray-painted by the yobs at 3AM.

UNLESS...

We better have a candidate that is going to have coat-tails a mile long, that is able to not just get himself elected, but to sweep the board of political adversaries, so that what needs to be done CAN get done.  No McCains, Romneys, Huntsmans (Huntsmen?), or any other RINO-squish Dem-lite soft-talkers.  Fire-breathing CONSERVATIVE; no apologies for intemperate speech, no backing off, no compromises, no goddam' make-nice, EVER.  I want a vinegarey old cuss that hates his enemies and doesn't give two good goddams for any anti-conservative that gets in his way.  I want a political hit-man.

But I don't know if John Bolton could be drafted.  I'd be afraid he'd shotgun me off his porch for asking if he was available.

The deflation thingy may be bigger and meaner than the Keynsians think. Translation - "We are gonna need a bigger boat."   I am waiting for Sparky to go all nativist and enact trade tariffs. His union goonies will love it. It will be like 1930s all over again. Good times, good times.   I personally am evaluating cigarette smuggling as a second career.

287

You can't beat something with nothing, so it all depends on the nominee.  If it's Perry or Romney there's a good chance (maybe a very good chance) Obama can be defeated.  Otherwise don't be shocked if he and the media/unions/academia pull a reelection out of their arses.  There's a huge difference between the talk radio and Internet demographic and the body politic. 

Two other key factors are the job market next year and the extent to which conservatives will stay home and not vote.  The former is likely to get much worse, but a rebound of sorts can't completely be ruled out.  Regarding the latter issue, well, there's not much to say.  You can't fix irrational and ignorant.

My advice: Watch Jim "Booyah!" Cramer tonight and then do the opposite of what he says.

294 S&P? Never heard of it.

295 I think Obama did it on purpose along with his henchman Democrats.

Nobody could be so feckless and have such a dearth of leadership as to let this happen.

The response? No different than what he has preached for two plus years now; attack the messenger, divide our countrymen with rhetoric and undertake actions which display his indifference.

Now he's off on fundraisers? Is that the action of a man who is concerned with our country or with himself?

Obama will line his campaign coffers and use the money to try and once again hoodwink the American public instead of appelaing to facts, logic and common sense.

296 Just think of the damage Captain Kickass could do if we had elected him to be a goodwill/peace ambassador to our adversaries.  Who knew?

303 and yet it took all this to get Obama to average in the 40s...

304 I think a lot of people in the market were going day to day waiting for a crash and when it started, they didn't want to be the one left without a chair. This isn't good

305 Well, my reasonably well-to-do inlaws who get paychecks from state entities were, just yesterday, donating to Barry's campaign fund.

306 The former is likely to get much worse, but a rebound of sorts can't completely be ruled out.

Define rebound.  Unemployment will not be below 8%.  No way, no how.  Barry is out of time unless we start adding 400k jobs, and that right soon.

What we witnessed at the Wisconsin State Fair the other night may simply be the mild beginning of what's coming.     No, not really. The second installment includes the blowback. There is bleeding involved. Never underestimate the ability of a majority to clean its house. Its all fun and games until its not all fun and games.

324 explain to us now why it was so horribly, terribly important that we pass his bill, instead of CCB. what ya got to say now Mr. Speaker? Ed Morrissey says the GOP dodged a deadly bullet by passing The Best Deal We Could Get. He said it again today, as the market was crashing.

Hannity is tougher w/ fellow GOP folks then he is with Beckle

326 310, if it is wrapped around an backstrap.

327 ugh, Peter schiff is on fast money, man is he pissed.

328 Why is the Dick acting as if he' suprised by S&P's action? They only told us several weeks ago they would downgrade us if we didn't start cutting a 4 trillion. No suprise to me.

329 I disagree with Limbaugh that Obama is doing all of this on purpose.

My father is exactly like Obama. He's 82 years old and has learned absolutely nothing in his life. (Apologies to people who'll think I'm being disrespectful to my old man; this is plain reality.)

My father is rigid, insecure, inflexible, dogmatic, and convinced of his own intellectual and moral superiority. His life has been marred by an unbroken string of failures in his profession, his personal life, and his family life, but these failures are always someone else's fault. The way my father and Obama work is that they pick an approach and stick with it no matter what, because they simply cannot admit to mistakes. To admit to mistakes threatens the collapse of their entire house of cards. Their actual identities are built on fraudulence; admitting to being wrong in one area will call into question everything, and down they will go.

Obama and my father are incapable of learning, because they believe that they already know everything. They are never wrong. I only found out about three weeks ago that my father was essentially fired from Exxon because he refused to do what his bosses required. We had been told that he retired early because he was sick of the stress. The reality was that he worked for Exxon for 25 years and refused the entire time to do things any way but his own. He fought with his bosses from day one because he'd arbitrarily decided that he knew better. Finally they had enough and canned his ass.

Limbaugh has never met anyone like Obama. I, on the other hand, was raised by someone exactly like him. Obama is doing what he's doing because he's incompetent and psychologically impaired. Here's the key: He's also a drunk. Obama's behavior is classically alcoholic.

Don't believe that this is part of a nefarious plan to bring us down. What's happening is that an extremely fucked-up alcoholic is plowing ahead with his failed policies because he can't change. That's all. The good news is he won't be able to come up with anything different, so if he has a good opponent in 2012 he'll be defeated.

The bad news is if he's reelected, we'll have four more years of failure, denial, paranoia, and self-serving excuses. Obama will never improve. He's stuck. At 82 my father is in exactly the same place that he was when he was 10. He's learned nothing. Obama can't learn, so that's why he's sticking with his failed policies. He's not trying to destroy us; he simply can't change course because in his mind that would mean his own complete destruction.

330 325The most important thing is, are the government under-funded pensions still safe? Can lazy union thugs still retire and double dip?

331 Do you accept money hand-scrawled on butcher paper with green crayon?

How about I bid in chocolate chip cookies? Got a couple of tins of them. Cash? Not so much.

332

I don't know about unrest, but the economy will continue to shit itself until it looks like Obama is getting thrown out of office. 

 If it looks like he stays but loses the congress, prepare for more anemic growth and can kicking.

The MFM and the administration, even some on the right, are pooh-poohing this.  Problem is that the downgrade was pooh-poohed as well.  They keep down playing the impact of downgrade now that it has happened.  This is coming, and when it comes, if England is any example, it will be like throwing phosphorus on the fire.

It matters, yeah.  It matters a lot.  It may not matter for the outcome of the election, but we're going to need someone reasonably competent in there.  We haven't had a conservative in office for a long time, and that's one reason we find ourselves in this predicament.  Things won't get better if we nominate another "compassionate conservative".

The worst is yet to come.

It is September 2008 all over again. It might take several months for the damage to the broader economy to materialize, but it will and this time that damage will be impossible for even the LSM to ignore. The U.S. will slide into an even more crushing recession, only we'll be starting out with a 12% "real" unemployment rate, hundreds of states and municipalities on the verge of bankruptcy, and not have the luxury of being able to borrow or “stimulate” the economy via debt or lower interest rates. 

There will be no bailouts, no liquidity injections from central banks nor will there be a face ripping market rebound this time.

Be ready.

 

  

370 Speaking of WI, the Iowa State Fair last year had "youths" performing a "Get Whitey Night" on the last night of the fair.  It was presaged by some disorganized thuggery the night before, but seemed more organized the following night. There was a little bit of it in the local press at the time, but it was very muted. There was the usual race hustling, head-in-the-sand stuff.  You know the drill.  Hopefully, DSM police will be better prepared.

One thing about the Left, they are very predictable.

371 Obama said he didn't have enough time to implement his ideas.  I know that the economy is really really bad because of his policies, but he's begging me to give him another chance....that he's learned some valuable lessons.  Geez, I feel so sorry for him.  I guess I'll have to vote for him again.  I mean, he knows what he's doing, right?  And I don't.  Anyway that's what he's telling me.

372 But I don't know if John Bolton could be drafted.  I'd be afraid he'd shotgun me off his porch for asking if he was available.

That's why in the old days, when you rode up to a house on your horse, you never got off of it if you came for serious shit.  The horse acted as a "barrier."

So for now, drive up to the house, call to it from your car, and make your intentions known.  If the 'Statche likes you, he'll invite you into the house.  If he don't, just drive away and no harm done.

373 We are so boned.

374 "We did, however have to come to an arrangement with her pimp. A gentleman who goes by the name Downgrayedd..."

375 I don't care. Obama is awesome.

376 The worst is yet to come. It is September 2008 all over again. It might take several months for the damage to the broader economy to materialize, but it will and this time that damage will be impossible for even the LSM to ignore. Remember it took 18 months to recover to the last pre-TARP levels on the market, just before it was signed into law. And that was after two doses of QE Ecstasy. No such luck now.

Hewitt is smart, but when he started calling anyone "nutters" who thought Obama was a socialist, commie or wanted anything but success for us I stopped listening.

He also hates John and Ken and calls them bad for California when they are the only ones who expose corruption and union crap.  Anyone who disagrees with J&K enough to call them names is suspect in my mind.

389 Maybe it's not for the same reasons that the WH gives, but I think that the downgrade was not supported by the facts and comparative ratings.

Everything else goes crimson. No guarantee he even carries Oregon or Washington in that scenario.

Don't know about Boxer, but Moonbeam maybe.  Whitman was looking to be worse than the Terminator.. who turned out to be worse than a straight up demo-traitor.  She gave pandering speeches to hispanics and supported the 'final solution' cap and trade bill for CA.  No Republican or conservative could ever support that.  She was a tool and would only hurt the conservative brand.  Moonbeam is a loser, but at least after his damage CA may be forced to re-negotiate public union pensions which are sickening.  I mean Jesus H Christ life guards are making 130k a year and they aren't required to rescue people if they don't have certain certifications!  haha its OZ out here folks!

John is probably the last person in the country that is non-PC.  To the extreme.  I love it.  He really does call it like it is, and the L.A. Times pieces on the poor, poor illegal aliens being ripped to shreds by John is always classic!  I cannot even repeat some of the stuff he says on here.

CA isn't a complete Blue state nightmare like some think.  There are pockets around Southern California that are ultra conservative.

If you're a doctor working for the prison system being paid 700k a year, even after taking the police on a highspeed chase and being locked in a padded cell 3 times and keeping your job, then I guess you'd hate them

There were commenters out there, way back in 2008, who posted that perhaps we were better off with Obama, as he was sure to implode as he has, and discredit the Democrat party, much like his apparent role model, Jimmy Carter. "It took Carter to get Reagan", they said...McCain would have only been marginally better than Obama and probably would have sunk the GOP for a generation. I wasn't sure if the country could make it through 4 years of this, and I'm still not. I try to be an optimist but it just doesn't look good at all.

425 1.) Gold is a hedge, not an investment. 2) It "grows" at roughly the same rate the value of the dollar drops. 3.) Gold is purchased at a retail price and sold at a wholesale price. 4.) Gold is a popular commodity so much of the price is mark up. 5.) Gold actually lost some value last week.

426 6.) Why do the people who sell you your gold want your worthless ruined money that will only lose value?

I have said it since Novemeber 2008. It doesn't matter what happends in Novemeber 2012, there will be riots regardless.

Did you ever notice how convieniently the "Mayan Calender" 2012 disaster is placed?

We have to remember either Sharpton's or Jesse's threat in 2008, that if JEF wasn't elected, there'd be riots.  Well, they've been stirring that same pot of shit in black and illegal neighborhoods ever since the Dick was elected.  And with the perceived injustice of the much higher unemployment within the black population, the fuse to that powderkeg is very short.  And Barak Hussein Obama has a a box of matches.  That's part of my fear for the next election.     

431 Buy stock in distilleries & liquor companies!

I knew it was a prominent democrat.  Just wasn't sure.  But the threat was made, none the less. 

434

i give German high marks because of sound fiscal fundamentals, the way Germany loses it credit rating is by continuing to bail out the rest of the EU, it shouldn't it should cease and desist immediately if not sooner.

 

435 Again the race thing!  I would use flame throwers on Vancouvers rioters too at the last Stanley Cup.   Mobs = Demorats.  Race does not matter much.

436 You've heard it said that the way to make money is to "Buy low, and Sell high." My economic vision is to make it possible for everybody to "Buy low." To that end, I am directing all Securities brokers to accept Food Stamps as authorized payment to settle trades.

437 was it this thread discussing london?  Gee, brett beier said a "29 year old father of 4 was killed" he didn't say any of the stuff you guys said, got links to justify your rumors?

438 Fuck off troll.

439 I really, really hope that son of a bitch Bernanke doesn't pop up with an announcement of  yet another round of "QE"....

Says Obama can be "landslided" in 2012

Too late.

441 Today Obama announced aid to Somalia.  Is this the best day to have done that?

442

Its going to get alot worse folks.  Europe is going down the toilet, once Greece goes all the dominoes will follow.  Then its a 50-50 chance that the UK, France and Germany will follow.  And if these collapse so will many US banks, and along with them most of Latin America, in short a disaster caused by the wonderful people the Bilderburgers.

 

Teach your children well.  This will last at least twenty years.  Hyperinflation seems the way we go but once it is out of control it is probable a complete meltdown will occur and we will have the Great Depression.

 

Strange a Russian economist predicted much of this 70 years ago.

443

Now he's off on fundraisers? Is that the action of a man who is concerned with our country or with himself?

A modest proposal: tax the shit out of campaign contributions. At least 75% of any contribution should go to the Treasury, to help pay for Secret Service, shipping, handling, and restocking fees.

Oh, and eliminate any tax deductions for making a contribution.

444 Today Obama announced aid to Somalia.

Calling all Shit Sandwich Republicans: Are you happy now?

"He goes and picks up a pair of 16 kilo weights and starts curling them with his left and right arms, 30 repetitions on each side. Then, amazingly, he picks up the 32 kilo weights! Very slowly he lifts them, first 10 curls with his right, then 10 with his left. He breathes deeply in and out and takes a sip of water from his 0.5 litre Evian bottle."

Is that a real quote?

I refuse to believe that fucker can curl 65+ pounds with one arm.

446 Ace, can we get some Rick Santelli representation? A nice, albeit unfortunate, parallel to his first oration:

447 I am not clear if I totally understand the full thought pattern behind this.

448 Nikkei down 400 (4%) That is all.

449 For what it's worth, I think the exact quote by Rush was "Debt Man Talking".

450 It's his white half doing all this bad. Once he lets his black half get to work everything will be A Okay.

451 What ever happened to Honest Cloud? As things got more sucky, he just disappeared.
