1 Who wants to hear how utterly craptastic of a job they're doing everyday?  No surprise he stopped getting those briefings.  It's like starting each morning with Michelle telling him she really didn't enjoy last night and that he shouldn't bother trying again tonight.

At some point during the first two years of his administration, President Obama stopped receiving the daily economic briefing that he requested when he took office.

That guy was a downer.

If your trying to dig out the foundation of a Capitalist System and redistribute it's wealth......why would you want to pay attention to the numbers? It makes no sense, becaue you wouldn't care what the numbers are, all you would care about was how fast you could spend.

They kept telling me that it was price/earnings ratio, when I knew it was profit/earnings ratios.  That really pissed me off, so I sent them away.

11 We are so fucking boned that I can't put in to words how fucking boned we are.Boned.

13 I would really like to see a graph of economic briefings/golf rounds -- I suspect their may be a correlation.

@11

But.....The Democratics say the economy is coming back...nothing to worry about!

15 Is California a random country? Not sure but I can promise you it ought to be separated from the other 56 states.

16 Today we are all Portugal ...

17 All they need to do is destroy all the corporations and spread the wealth around as prescribed by Marx. Obviously the rich aren't paying their share and stealing all the wealth from the folks on welfare and the homeless guys groping drunk girls after a long day of collecting cans or stealing scrap metal.

21 Obama is SHOCKED - SHOCKED I tell you that his devotion to Marxist ideology has failed in America. It is too late for him to shift course.... Wait - it is impossible for an ideolog to change their mind. This is what Obama followers need to realize. Most of them will follow him right off the cliff - Just like Jim Jones followers did.

Are implying that Obama voters are Kool-Aid Drinkers? How dare you!

This Sunday, Portugal voted out the Socialist and elected the right-center party (Soical Democrats).  They will form a government with the conservatives.  Hopefully USA will follow this script.

Obama: "I'm not concerned about a double-dip recession."

Whew!  That was close... we all know that when Obama speaks he never gets it wro... OMG - we're boned!

Oh well, at least we don't have a bunch of snowbillies in charge!

27

Have no fear peasants, Barry says everything is cool

 

WASHINGTON – After a spate of discouraging economic reports, President Barack Obama insisted Tuesday he's not afraid of the country slipping into a double-dip recession. But at the same time he displayed some impatience that the pace of the recovery has "got to accelerate."

"Obviously, we're experiencing some headwinds," Obama said at a joint news conference with visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

 

Headwinds? What happened to the bumps in the road?

But Obama said his administration was taking a range of steps to boost the economy, and that the nation is bound for long-term economic growth.

"We are on the path of a recovery but it's got to accelerate," he said.

 

Yes, making vague statements and bullshitting are a range of steps

28 At some point during the first two years of his administration, President Obama stopped receiving the daily economic briefing that he requested when he took office.

Those numbers' jockeys were destroying the concentration I required in order to fill out my NCAA Roundball Tournament barrackets ... so I locked them out of my office.

29 27 Of course HE'S not concerned.Such concerns are only for the little people.

30

Here's what I've been wondering for a long while.

What really has to happen for a country to completely eliminate entitlements, like welfare, for example? In a country like Portugal, where the lube is already applied, the fluffer has completed her job and the boning is about to begin, how long is it until they as a society demand an end to welfare? Or will welfare be the last thing to go as the entire economy collapses?

Bonus question. How bad do things have to get before the government workers get gutted? News graphics yesterday showed 100,000 in the US were going to be eliminated but that's still the tip of an iceberg.

Hm...

You like Reagan.

Reagan adopted the "opportunity society" ideas from Gingrich's group for his 1984 re-election campaign.

1984 is also your AoS handle's greastest work.

It is time to come clean Newt.

32 Headwinds? What happened to the bumps in the road? I'm a highly accomplished orator. I'm experimenting with nautical metaphor now, after exhausting the automotive ones back in the ditch. I'm thinking about another creative bit of hyperbole. How about "running off the rails" or "get back on track?" Goddamn, I am so brilliant it hurts.

33 o/t

but holy fuck Nintendo, your new system is WiiHD with a huge fucking controller. Talk about a dissapointment

34 Obama usually comes to see me right after his morning smoke. At 10 am when he wakes up.

Remember those hippie-dippie libtard bumper stickers that would be modified to say "Practice Random Senseless Acts"? That's the CA state government's philosophy in a nutshell.

37 "Practice Random Senseless Acts"? That's the CA state government's philosophy in a nutshell. I disagree. I see a pattern of malevolence that precludes randomness.

38

"Obviously, we're experiencing some headwinds"

This is code for, "It's not my fault" 

39 To be perfectly fair, Portugal is almost always fucking a chicken.

41 I remember reading that Puerto Rico had no one pick crops anymore because everyone worked for the state.

42 OT Coulters new book is interesting so far.  The right has cheerleaders (uninformed loyalists) the left has mobs.  If you dig into the history of the western left they always have targets changed but their behavior stays the same.

43 If you want funny go read those Obama quotes about the double dip and count how many times he says "I". Employment is not going up as fast as I want. Ect ect

44 One more trillion-dollar stimulus bill ought to do it.

45

___________ are well and truly boned.

46

"Recovering from that kind of body-blow takes time," Obama said, admitting that in recent weeks the economy had faced strong "headwinds."

"Recovery is going to be uneven. There are going to be times where we are making progress, but people are still skittish and nervous, and the markets get skittish and nervous."

"Our task is not to panic, not overreact, to make sure that we've got a plan, a path forward," he said, noting the need to tend to structural issues and fundamentals that would promote growth and a sound business environment.

 

In other words, STFU and reelect me. Structural issues and fundamentals like wind farms and high speed rail?

47 Haha, just go ahead and ram another stimulus package through...speaking of ramming packages, have you seen my package, America?

48

The dismaying evidence that the recovery may be stalling has offered a sudden opening to Republicans, especially those running nascent presidential campaigns, who know many Americans are yet to feel evidence of a recovery.

Mitt Romney, the putative Republican frontrunner for the 2012 election slammed Obama for saying the jobs data was a "bump in the road" and issued an indictment of administration policies he said had "failed America."

 

Barry: Note to self: drop "bump in road" change to "headwinds".

"Dismaying evidence" in other words in spite of our line of bullshit the reality of how bad our economic situation is cannot be covered over any more

49

I truely belive that Obama and the Demcorats had no idea that they could do so much damage so quickly.

I think they thought they were only doing prep work for his second term, where the screws would then be put to the economy and the system as a whole, and they would then envelope their Collectivist Agenda into place then.

 It seems to have backfired a little, and now he may not get his seond term. This is a lesson for all you childern and Commies joining us today. Never count your Chiken before they are Hatched.

In __________ , success chalk up you!

55 At some point during the first two years of his administration, President Obama stopped receiving the daily economic briefing that he requested when he took office.

When the news is largely bad, or middling at best with little in the way of meaningful improvement on the horizon, there's no reason to be reminded of it on a daily basis, right Mr Failu, er, I mean Mr President?

56 "Recovery is going to be uneven."


Uneven?

More like this: http://tinyurl.com/9qc3k2

57 To be brutally precise, the economic briefing was changed from in-person to on paper.

Now, we can pretty much guess he wasn't going to absorb the information in either case, but he didn't stop the briefings. That was a badly-written headline from the other day.

58 I'll show you a recovery, you clueless jackass:

1.  Zero taxes on any corporation/company manufacturing solely within the United States for a period of five years;

2.  Zero capital gains tax for five years;

3.  Zero estate tax for five years;

4.  Across the board 10% federal income tax for every man, woman, and child who earn more than $100.

Fixed it for you.  Oh, and throw in for the hell of it:

5.  Rescind the right to vote for anyone who hasn't paid federal income tax in the prior year or who is currently receiving welfare.

59

"Obviously, we're experiencing some headwinds."

This is code for "it's not my fault." "it's all Bush's fault."

FIFY.

In place of the daily briefing, he's going to hang a big MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner above his head.  Then duck out for a smoke.
