Regardless of your opinions regarding what the Obamanator said, you have to agree that he is finally speaking like a true American leader: "Fuck you! I'm right, your wrong - everyone follow me!"

His Bush impersonation continues to get more and more sound.

Fuck you! I'm right, your wrong - everyone follow me

Kinda like Obamacare.
And the fiscal stimulus.

Two programs that are working swimmingly well.

Whew. For a second there I thought Obama was campaigning. Turns out he was just "delivering a populist speech that called for extending the payroll tax cut set to expire at the end of the year."

Good for President Obama.

We know whose side he is on!

Now lets see some Fireside Chats like FDR used to inspire the Masses.

Good luck to America!

no this is....well will be...stay tuned...

I refer to the apparent violation of at least one (probably two) major U.S. laws by the Holder Justice Department. A few years ago, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, the follow-on to the Trading with the Enemy Act) was expanded in order to criminalize any transactions between U.S. entities - to include departments and agencies of the U.S. government - and all foreign drug cartels.

I am familiar with these prohibitive statues because several years ago, while serving as the senior drug analyst for the Senate Intelligence Committee, I was tasked to initiate and became the principal drafter of legislation which became known as the Kingpin Act (21 U.S.C. 1901-08). The Kingpin Act is an extension of the highly successful IEEPA sanctioning program specifically targeting Colombian drug cartels. It expands sanctions authority against various drug cartel operations worldwide - including Mexico - which have been determined by the president to be threats to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States.

A violation of any of the IEEPA sanctioning programs or the Kingpin Act carries stiff penalties, both criminal and civil, and potentially totaling decades in prison and tens of millions of dollars in fines. It is not necessary that an individual or governmental entity be shown to have "knowingly" violated any of these programs: it is illegal for any U.S. entity or individual to aid, abet, or materially assist - or in the case of Operation Fast and Furious, to facilitate others to aid, abet, or materially assist - designated drug traffickers. There are no exceptions within IEEPA programs for unlicensed U.S. law enforcement or intelligence agency operations.

If at first you fail, try the same thing again harder. Helicopter Ben has his back.

No dumbass. Obama made an idiot of himself today.

He's "trying" to lead! This is so sad.

You supporting him makes you an idiot too.

So...lets see...the Social Security system is broke and Obama wants to make sure those who are paying into it pay less. Why? Because the dems have already excluded 50% of the population from paying ANY income taxes and they have nothing left to give them - but the money they would be giving them later - except that they have already spent it!

So much for fiscal responsiblity and insuring that social security remains solvent.

HERE is a better answer. 1) put the money BACK into social security 2) CUT SPENDING. move spending back to the Bush years - this will reduce our outpayment by 1 TRILLION per year. Cut Tarp, Cut Stimulas, kill the payouts to build electric cars that burn, "Green" energy companies that go broke but protect Dem fund raisers, no more Hawaian vacations or trips to Spain.

3) Increase the retirement age and index it to life expentency

4) kill Obamacare so that small businesses can hire

5) roll back minumum wage so that people with limited or no skills can get a job

6) Reduce corp. income tax to 10% and match that with a flat income tax eliminating the IRS and tax loopholes for the political classes friends.

7) build the pipeline

8) Sell off GM

9) Remove evironmental regulation and build 4 nuke, 4 coal electric plants

10) Drill baby Drill

Money would be flowing into the coffers of the US ...our Debt to GDP would go under 65% which is the key. People would be employed again.

We should also restucture colleges and fund programs that teach programing of machine tools that is needed to bring back manufacturing.

It was a good speech I hope he keeps this up. this was the Obama I voted for not the half ass republican clown that has been in the white house for the past 3 plus years

Socialist Nationalism or National Socialism...what's the difference.

Looks like somebody on the DR got a little excited by another Obama puff piece today. Or yesterday already now.

You'll be toddling off to school soon, ask your civics teacher.

FINALLY!...it's about time President Obama came out and spoke
like a true Democrat, and embraced what all of us on the
Left know...that the Trickle Down/Voodoo Economic policies
of the G.O.P. over the last 30 years in American Economic
Policy have been the biggest lie ever sold to the
American Public....and it's about time a President
stood there and said so.... wtg O' man!!!

Talk is cheap, but its a start. Roosevelt was more straightforward in his attacks on the financial sector which led to economic reforms and 75 years of prosperity. As we stand now none of the problems Roosevelt addressed, that were undone, have been fixed. NONE. They can and will do it again. In fact another bailout is pending in Europe which will effect US Banks in a big way.

What exactly is the moment?

It's a major presidential speech.

"Socialist Nationalism or National Socialism...what's the difference." So now you even call Obama a Nazi???? YOu are really a very sick puppy.

"3) Increase the retirement age and index it to life expentency

4) kill Obamacare so that small businesses can hire

A truth, no matter how many times repeated is still a truth. You're expecting the same people to cure the problems they created. Good luck with that one.

Here's another way to look at government incompetence.

You go to a doctor one day because your'e not feeling well. He looks you over and prescribes some medicine. After a few weeks, you're feeling worse. So you go back to the same doctor. He looks you over again, and decides to prescribe stronger medicine. After a few weeks, you're feeling still worse. Go back to doctor. Doctor looks at you and decides you should increase your dose again. At some point, it should sink in that you should switch doctors before this one kills you.

And so it is with the Western economies. The same prescription of ever increasing doses of regulations, taxes, borrowing, spending and money printing is what's killing the economy. These people obviously don't know what the fuck they're doing.

"And so it is with the Western economies. The same prescription of ever increasing doses of regulations, taxes, borrowing, spending and money printing is what's killing the economy. These people obviously don't know what the fuck they're doing."

so yeah ALL RIGHT BARRY....JUST the sort of image to conjure up...at least for the STUPID OBAMADUPES...

Danni, I missed your answer to a coupld of questions I asked you last week. Your response will only take five words so I'm sure you won't mind repeating them.

1. Has Obama kept the wars goings, that Bush started, and added a couple of incursions?

2. Has Obama kept Guantanamo Bay open, which Bush kept running?

3. Has Obama expanded government spending on top of Bush's already outrageous spending? (I know you already said Bush's outrageous spending got us in this mess, so I don't even have to ask you if you agree with that)

4. Has Obama extended the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy?

5. Are all of these things, which Bush did, things that you disliked when Bush did them but now that Obama is doing them, it's alright?

I'll thank you in advance for answering them (she won't answer them). Ask yourself why, all of you Danni followers.

Talk is very cheap and obama proves every day that he is nothing but a talking blow hard.

In about 3 weeks all this blow hard talk will be left on the way side for another sticky note popular political item but nothing will be done, it is the obama way.....

Which of course is a core argument of those who criticize the "tax cuts for the wealthy." So who's right? Who's insane?

---It's all on the backs of Americans and the middle class---

"Which of course is a core argument of those who criticize the "tax cuts for the wealthy." So who's right? Who's insane?"

My money is on those echoing the insane. How else does one think a make or break situation involves less than $20.00 per week if the payroll tax in not extended?

In Teddy Roosevelt's era, President Barack Obama explained to the nation this week, "some people thought massive inequality and exploitation was just the price of progress. ... But Roosevelt also knew that the free market has never been a free license to take whatever you want from whoever you can."

And he's right. Even today there are people who believe they should have free license to take whatever they want from whomever they can. They're called Democrats.

Yet the president, uniter of a fractured nation, the mighty slayer of infinite straw men, claims that some Americans "rightly" suppose that the economy is rigged against their best interests in a nation awash in breathtaking greed, massive inequality and exploitation. Or I should say, he's trying to convince us that it's the case.

The middle-class struggle to find a decent life is the "defining issue of our time," the president went on. And nothing says middle-class triumph like more regulation, unionism, cronyism and endless spending. Hey, Dwight Eisenhower (a Republican!) built the interstate highway system, for goodness' sake. Ergo, we must support a bailout package for public-sector unions -- you know, for the middle class.

In what other ways will Obama secure the dream in this "defining" moment? Is the middle class going to be salvaged by raising the top marginal tax rates a few points on 1-percenters and adding $1 trillion to the federal budget in 10 years (equal to one year of federal deficit spending)? Or is the middle class going to rise again on the strength of a temporary tax holiday from programs it actually uses?

Surely, that won't do. If not, what are you talking about exactly, Mr. President? Give us the big plan. What program have you devised that offers middle-class Americans more opportunity, not just more dependency? How have you expanded the fortunes of the bitter, occasionally clingy bourgeois in the past three years -- by adding $4 trillion to their offspring's tab?

Smart people can grouse all they want about the supposed zealotry of the tea party or the conservative presidential field (and sometimes, they might be right), but Obama's mimicking Teddy Roosevelt's end-of-career hard left turn tells us a lot about the president's worldview. In his speech in Osawatomie, Kan., Obama dropped almost all pretenses and made the progressive case against an American free market system, which he called "a simple theory ... one that speaks to our rugged individualism and our healthy skepticism of too much government. ... And that theory fits well on a bumper sticker. But here's the problem: It doesn't work."

Obama, after all, is such a towering economic mind that in Osawatomie, he once again blamed ATMs (and the Internets) for job losses. This is a man we can trust. "Less productivity! More jobs!"

That's not to say capital isn't useful occasionally, of course. A few days ago, Obama hosted a $38,000-a-plate fundraiser for wealthy Manhattanites. The president -- with the Democratic National Committee -- has hauled in more cash from rent-seeking financial-sector companies than all Republican candidates combined. This president has supported every big-business bailout with taxpayers' money, even though he claims they shouldn't be on the "hook for Wall Street's mistakes."

But it is refreshing to hear Obama come out and give us a clear picture of this country in all its ugly class-conscious, unjust, menacing glory rather than veil his arguments with any of that soothing rhetoric that got him elected last time. It's time, my friends, for a ne

Of course class warfare is all he has left, he can't take credit for what he's done to the economy with a complete DC majority from 1/09-1/11, while focusing on HCR, shovel ready employment, and green jobs.

As Timothy Egan points out:

"In a century's time, the two parties have switched roles. Roosevelt, with his plea for an income tax, child labor laws, health care and conservation, his call for worker protections, control of corporate abuse, and "a square deal for the poor man," would be booed out of the room of any Republican gathering today.

"Consider just one line from the 1910 speech. "There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains," Roosevelt said. "To put an end to it will be neither a short nor an easy task, but it can be done."

More like Make-us-broke moment.

okay so lets make a list.

PASS THIS BILL

WE CANT WAIT

and now its THIS IS a make or break moment

here's to looking forward to the best mantra from this guy.

'my first EX president speech will be tomorrow..

You left off reversing the rise of the oceans and healing the planet. That was a big moment, too.
