Title: Anyone watching Obama's speech tonight?
Post by: Mr Mannn on September 08, 2011, 06:48:07 PM
I cannot bring myself to watch. Obama called both houses together to give the nation a "Re-elect Obama Speech." I feel its not right to reward such deceptive behavior with viewership. Further after three years the fool is STILL tied to a teleprompter. Not a single other politician has to use a TP at every D*** event. Lord O used a TP for a 3 minute speech at a grade school.

Everything about this phony grates against me. I have a killer cold, a headache and am not going to sit through another pointless speech. Nor am I going to watch the commentators marvel at how this was the most wonderful speech ever made in the history of the earth. I hate those slime-sucking propaganda pundits.

Hmmm. Whats really revealed here is I'm in a bad mood.
Fine. I have no patience for fools. Guess that leaves out the Pres, don't it.

Actually, sir, since I don't do television, I thought it would be a good evening to change the air in the tires of the automobile.

Apparently, it started 7pm EST.  I was barely finished with my first beer before he started.  How am I supposed to parse Pres0dential speechifying while sober?

I did some YouTube digging and found a copy of the 1964 'Dalek Invasion of Earth' with the original Doctor, but it cuts out halfway through. :(

The Doctor was always Tom Baker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Doctor) to me.  I have a feeling J.K. Rowling ripped off the Harry Potter scarf thing from the BBC, but the original Doctor is too cool.  The old British class is nice to hear.

I watched most of it. He spent most of his time wagging his finger at those who are impeding him progress, and he also railed on about how the country is falling apart -- time to spend more money.

He chided Republicans for being in favor of stuff that apparently found its way into Barry's job bill, daring them to find fault with the same stuff now. Promises of lowering the corporate tax rate for those who hire long-term unemployed, veterans, illegals, those on the public teat.

The central theme was Barry spending money. He's gotta do it and he's bullying Congress into passing his jobs bill yesterday.

Never mind reading the fine print. We gotta pass it before we learn what's in it.

I wonder if Barry ever had to get treatment for his fascination with spending money -- other people's money, of course.

The only way I'll listen to Obumble's speeches is on Levin's show, with his commentary.  Even Mark couldn't take it after a while.

I had the misfortune of listening to this while eating dinner.  It was the auditory equivalent of syrup of ipecac. :puke:

I luv listening to Levin. But theres just no way I can listen to that POS's lyin, marxist, idiopathic, narcissist voice for as long as it takes me to change the station or turn it off. That low life has nothing to offer.

I tried to tune in every now and then for a while (just to see if the scumbag was still speaking). I was amazed at how long Levin could put up with it. But I couldnt take it anymore. So I missed the rest of the show. I'd prefer to keep my sanity and wait for the commentary.

It's never a question if the asshole is speaking. It's only a matter of how long he'll keep speaking.

I don't think he ever met a microphone and TV camera he and his teleprompter didn't like.
