— andy I really can't stand the sound of the SCOAMF's voice anymore. But what the hell, let's liveblog this POS.
Tonight's drinking game keywords will create or save approximately 3,000 Green Jobs™ since they're based on recycling. Specifically, old plans repackaged as the new hotness like a crappy label maker:
- Payroll tax holiday
- Unemployment extension
- Infrastructure (Infrastructure+bank=shotgun a beer)
- Immediate expensing
- Job training
- Aid to states
- Patent reform *yawn*
- Trade agreement
- Country above party
If he uses "stimulus" or "recovery" from the old version of the Newspeak dictionary, just go ahead and down everything you have.
Liveblog thingy below the fold.
Standard reminder: Your comments do not automatically display. So don't ask "Why aren't my comments displaying?" They don't display.
They're not posted comments a la chat room. Instead they go to queue, which the producers (cobloggers) read, and we post them, by hand, if we think they make a good point.

Thanks for taking one for the team.
Thankfully, the local AM station is going on with the normal Buckeye football call-in program instead of going live with O'Dickbag.
I'll just read the comments and laugh and drink, ad infinitum.

An insufferable ass is an insufferable ass, of course, of course
And no one can talk sense to an insufferable ass, of course
And especially, of course, if the insufferable ass is the famous Barack Obama
Go right to the source and ask the insufferable ass
HeÂ’ll give you the answer that deceivers will endorse
HeÂ’s always on a dissemblers course
Talk to Barack Obama
Barack Obama just yakkity yaks a streak and wastes your time of day
Does any sane person even believe anymore a thing he has to say?
An insufferable ass is an insufferable ass, of course, of course
And this oneÂ’ll talk in prevaricating circles til his voice is hoarse
You never heard of a talking insufferable ass?
Well listen to this
He is Barack Obama

I'm betting on "peace dividend" or it's modern equiv. Gotta pay for the new stimulus somehow, and they just announced the Iraq draw-down to 3000 troops in-country. Meshes rather neatly with the OBL kill and the 9/11 anniversary. I expect an A-stan draw-down announcement within the month.

Polls show that upwards of 70% of the people say the country is headed in the wrong direction - read that as Obama is leading it in the wrong direction. As this is a govenrment based on the consent of the governed I would say that 70% disapproval constitutes a withdrawal of consent. Looks to me like it's time to start a petition withdrawing our consent.

he is delivering a campaign speech yelling "I am still relevant" to the Congress....
you'll notice that it is not only the GOP sitting looking at him stonefaced at times.....
he says "this bill will be paid for" everyone knows he means taxes when he says that....that is why less than a 1/3d stood up....
attempting to browbeat the GOP into eating the donk's favorite meal of Union Pie because in the past the bargain was "we'll eat your union Pie but we need some investor meat" is not "bi-partisan".....
he is caught like an anaconda is wrapped around him by labor....
the unions' popularity is worse than his and the American people could give two fucks about making the union movement happy....
the AARA signs are still fresh in people's memory and the money WAS spent....but I didn't see a lot of work being done....I did see 10,000 dollar signs every 1/2 mile but damn few "workers"....
it is like Barack doesn't understand that the reason we build the roads, have the airports, and maintain the seaports is because of trade...and for their to be "real" trade we need healthy businesses that feel stable enough with the political classes taxing and regulating zeal to go to work....
he did not speak once to overregulation or EPA overreach, and he will not...he refuses to acknowledge that the only way to get capital back into the pipe in the volume needed for a boom is instead of a payroll holiday grant a capital gains/ estate tax holiday....
W turned around an already stalling economy from 9/11....it may in fact be the only thing he got done domestically I agree with....the problem is NOT that DC doesn't have enough money to play with if properly used the problem is DC is in the business of giving half a billion in loans with no oversight to pet companies......
I have made up my mind to give every spare cent I can to destroying this man and his party this cycle.....
we cannot afford to have a guy who is at best inept and at worst willfully destructive in charge anymore.

$050 billion -> public relations agencies so people to love the canal.
$050 billion -> AFL-CIO organizing efforts for same.
$050 billion -> worker's compensation lawyers for same.
$050 billion -> lawyers to fight the inevitable eminent demesne battles.
$050 billion -> EPA examination of route to make sure they find a purple-spotted three-eyed newt.
$050 billion -> lawyers to fight the canal digging on behalf of the newts.
$050 billion -> canal-fillers.
Calculating Keynesian Stimulus Factor:
1) Figure out rate-of-return on actual infrastructure. (In this case, that's a big nada.)
2) Figure out number and value of -new- jobs.
3) Multiply.
4) Subtract interest payments and repayment schedule.
Results -> Hey, this was quite dumb.
Oh, the President doesn't view Keynesianism that way? Ok: Calculating -neo-Keynsian- stimulous.
1) Make shit up.
2) Be ecstatic about spending $250,000 to create a single $35,000 job.
Results -> Hey, not only was that dumb, but you sound like a scandi advocating that kind of bs.

Awfully sneaky of them to put this out just hours before Obama’s speech. In yet another example of the administration’s defiance following the stunning failure of its pet project Solyndra, , the Department of Energy has announced a new plan to spend $43 million over the next five years “to speed technical innovations, lower costs, and shorten the timeline for deploying offshore wind energy systems.”

My quick reaction: as usual, excellent speech. Most of the specific proposals were either good or harmless. On balance, probably worth passing. But I'm still scared as hell about what might come of it if the White House sits down to negotiate it with the GOP. That's where I hope people listen to his call to action, and push not just Congress, but also the administration, to do what's right for the economy.
And the commenters over there are fappin' like crazy over their stuttering clusterf*** of a miserable failure.

Some of the few remaining actual Blue Dogs in the House have been crossing-over on some legislation lately. I also saw an article last night in which other Dems were complaining that he needs to stop attacking Congress and start slamming Rs. His lackeys have to be more pleased with this address but it was a sermon for the faithful somewhat disguised by touches of moderate language.

part of what we need to ask the people we are in contact with in the real world politely is....
"does that mean all of it was as wasted as the half billion in solyndra before?'

Republicans should go along with the infratstructure and the payroll tax cuts. There is no infrastucture project out there that is designed, permitted and ready to go that isn't already funded. It won't make a bit of difference in the unemployment rate but it's part of the highway bill and we've already paid the gas tax to fund it. The payroll tax cut will just further starve out social security and medi care.

Silly retailers, they think their sales are gonna BLOW last quarter of 2011, why won't they hire?
I'm just curious, mostly because I am irredeemably stupid and it never occured to me to imagine up any "friends" in the retail sector.
I know a lot of people (who are cats) who know a lot about basic supply chains (Fancy Feast & Tidy Cat) and they are very worried about local distribution points being affected by a disruption in the supply chain (what if I forget how to take a bus) here in New York.
These are some top level people (cats) who post on Zero Hedge and if they are worried so should you be.
All of the people (cats) who are in the know and listen to the Jon Batchelor show are worried as well.
These are moderate voters (who are cats) who won't take kindly to Tea-Party type obstructionists when it comes to their Fancy Feast.

Depends on what it is. Stimulus bills similar to what he wanted when they were in the minority are DOA. Temporary tax cuts and a minor lightening of the regulatory burden would be easier to pass, but there are a number of fiscal hawks who have previously taken a stand against temporary measures. They want something that's actually helpful long-term.

2) something to reign in EPA's attack on coal

freddoso Ultimately, our recovery will not be driven by Washington, Obama says. But we can help. By passing my plan immediately, without question.

the alteration of US and English thought back to Austrian/Classic capitalism didn't happen overnight....
Milton Friedman himself started out an enthusiastic Keynesian....
Uncle Milty's Conversion happened because he is a mega-genius on the topic....
His history of monetary policy of the United States is awesome.
Basically Milton figured out the flaw in keynes is its treatment of consumption function is a fairy tale....
all hell broke loose in the econ community and the Chicago school was born.....
grossly simplified of course....
but still
he is both the father of "automatic withholding" and popular "supply side theory".....
he also gave one of the best explanations of why barack's antics are doomed to fail and the underlying flaw in Government directed money packet "stimulus" by mapping the complexity of stabilization theory.....
I miss him.

Why doesn't someone bring this up? Ya know, call them out on how stupid they sound. Yeah, I want my kid to drink water with little mercury droplets in it!! yay!! oh and cancer? Shit, I force my kid to eat lead paint smothered in mercury with a side of uranium ice cream. Did I mention how I force his head into the microwave and turn it on?
Thats how we roll. Mercury is good for you! Along with sewage. Nothing wrong with a little raw sewage smoothie every now and then.
Barack, you are a fucking tool. You disgust me.
BTW, didn't we just get finished having a huge fight over the debt ceiling? Jesus H Christ it took near 6 months and constant crying to settle on 1.5 trillion in cuts over 10 years. Now he's already forgotten about that? The HELL? Not heard a word about this all week in the run up. Our pundit class on TV is far over-rated.. if not downright incompetent

how do you confront a strawman built on what to any logical person should be a luaghable falsehood in 15 seconds?
I mean the precautionary principle that barack relies on to make up his strawman army is a laughable falsehood....
it is an internally inconsistent crutch used to justify an ever increasing regulatory bent regardless of cost....
weak thinking and the use of the precautionary principle in modifications to the clean air act are why the EPA can know declare on a whim that CO2 is a pollutant....
YOU HAVE TO PROVE IT IS NOT BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT....
the average idiot voter that the strawman army is marched for cannot comprehend things like the insanity of the ban on DDT.....
the freon ban leading to a more dangerous refrigerant being used for no ozone gain...
the target audience of the strawman army ain't us.....
and flaming them isn't easy without a steady stream of extended exposure to flame.

I agree, I don't think "Do Nothing Congress" is going to fly this time. The House Republicans have been the ones proposing new ideas and passing bills while Reid and Obama block them. Their fall schedule also includes a targeting of numerous regulations and some tax policies. As long as they can compare and contrast their record with Obama's, they should be fine.

hard to yell "do nothing Congress" when your wife has a 10 million a year and growing vacacay habit."
Obama honestly does not grasp how his antics look to even his voters.

You have to register, but they give you instant access.
I bet you could even use a fake email address.
Anyway, I thought some of you would like to know in case you want to litter the site with .... Obama is a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure.

I saw that too. Only two idiot Obama voters were even "somewhat inspired" by the speech. Somewhat inspired... What does that mean?
They'll still vote for his stash I'm sure.

Obama probably doesn't care because many of them will vote for him no matter what. He also does as he pleases and expects we peasants will pay for it, despite the lack of jobs and dwindling savings.

Priorities, priorities.
Betting the market tanks tomorrow, since it's just like when Berwhankie speaks: market tanks. Obama speaks: market tanks.
death, taxes, and those two.

Was, Obama, the Stuttering Clusterfuck Of A Miserable Failure (SCOAMF) as much as a SCOAMF as usual? Had to do something else tonight.
Any special clusterfuck moments?

A friend once told me of a stunt pulled by some guys in his graduating class at college. Before commencement, they distributed "Commencement Bingo Cards"; except that instead of numbers and letters, the squares were marked with randomly distributed cliches: you know, "the future lies ahead of us," and the like. The commencement speaker was shocked when, about two-thirds of the way through his speech, half a dozen graduated leaped to their feet, yelling "BINGO!"
Teh Won cries out for Obama Bingo Cards. His talks are so cliche-ridden and so predictable, people would be bingoing-out within five minutes.

Neither can I. The TV, the radio, and the receiver in my truck all get either the mute treatment or a complete shutoff if an audio clip is coming, or is run suddenly.

just got home from work.
didn't hear the speech other than the bite about the need to stop a three ring circus.
can someone provide the condensed version of what this sad display said?

Quote from Andrew Malcom's LA Times article:
"But here's the catch that Obama and his Windy City wizards missed: Most Americans are not politically obedient machine Chicagoans. Like a linebacker reading the quarterback's eyes, they've already figured out this South Sider's game."

HELLO?
come on Jim I know a lot about the AMT taught a tax class on it and everything fella....
come on Jim how many people you can even cheat and look it up....
it was 155 households targeting about 300 taxpayers......
come on Jim try to sell me on the GOP loving the AMT....come on
Posted by: sven10077 at September 08, 2011 08:52 PM (AEIYh)
--Sven, it's been a significant problem for at least ten years, because it hits more and more people. The GOP could have fixed it in the early 2000s if they had wanted to do so.
