glad to see you think pesident obama is the adult colby….lol

Boy! This writer sure won’t drop Obama’s jock strap! He says “by pushing the presidential request to address a joint session of congress so as to not conflict with a GOP political debate, it is hard take the “dire” and “urgent” rhetoric with a straight face. One cannot reasonably complain about a lack of action”

As if Obama pushing off his “announcement” until AFTER he comes back from vacation had a sense of “urgency” to it. sheeesh! If Obama could wait that long, one more day shouldn’t matter.

Have you ever seen a more persnickety, partisan hack than this President?

Hey Boehner, have the GOP Congress Boycott President Man-Child’s campaign speech if he won’t move it!

We’ve got to purge as much of the Socialist-Welfare Democrats from power next year as possible; maybe expunge them for the next 100 years, like they did about 100 years ago to their Progressive Forebearers. 

Most of these Mediaite writers are from Liliputia. They see Obama as the Jolly Green Giant Adult!

Obama moves a knight and the GOP advances a pawn to block.  

 The light bringer would never lower himself to the speakers standards of behavior… oh shit wait never-mind.

I have never said this publicly…  but this President is an a$$hole..  This is a typical move for him.. it’s the Chicago way…

“When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”– Benjamin Franklin

Just a matter of time before our incompetent community organizer heads to Boehners request like a good boy!!

Obama is the only President in history that has had control of the House,Senate and WH and still not get anything passed….proof of how bad his rigid liberal ideology is!!

Seriously, Colby Hall?  Never heard of you before this ignorant commentary.  Maybe that’s why.  If you truly believe what you write, which I seriously doubt, then why didn’t you mention that BO could have postponed one of his excessive high dollar, in-your-face-at-the-public-trough-living-high-on-the-hog-while-I-can-get-by-with-it vacations?  Get a real job.  Or, do you use grant money?

Am I the only one waiting to see him act as this supposed “only adult in the room” that his strategists are positioning him as, as opposed to the petulant child that seems to shine through every time he opens his mouth?

Mr. President I say if the roles were reversed would they back down?  Hell no, so frack em’.  They have been crying about your jobs plan while producing none of their own, so give them exactly what they’ve been asking for on your terms.  Besides what are they going to do, talk bad about you and say no to everything you propose whether it’s a good idea or not or even their own ideas just because it comes from you?  Wait a minute they already do that!!

knight = codeword for night
night = codeword for black
racist!!!!

How impolitic can Böner be? He might as well have responded, “What’s the rush about jobs creation? Let’s do this next February.” This is really, really bad politics. Joined with the Can’tor “We can’t afford to save drowning people.,” policy, I’d say this all became a ++ for our President. Thanks, gents.

That’s great!

This move is making his base happy, the people who think that style is more important than substance.  It’s pretty sad that instead of applauding a good economic plan, they’re cheering image.  Then again, the President was elected on image so….

But most people, even reasonable libs, see the President once again turning the real issue of job creation into political theater.  It’s also very easy to turn this around on him.    

Great picture with the article BTW.  This pic exemplifies Boner and the republicans contempt for the President and their willingness to destroy the country to grab back power.

glad to see its all about politics with you…….the good of the country goes out the window when you win huh…..at least you are a honest liberal then

Gee, silly me. There I was — thinking that Colby was going to rename his article “Boehner Makes a SMARTER Political Move” as opposed to Obama Makes a Smart Political Move… just thinkin’

Check/Checkmate!

sorry cant do that john i have vacations for the rest of the year

gNOpigs.

Your move.

You don’t want the Democrats stepping on your sorry arses? MOVE your charade elsewhere.

At least he was able to get in a few games of golf, some bus tours, vacations, and about three years of doing nothing…

King Obama is free to reschedule his speech .

Or he can lay it out now . It’s just a Dem stunt , anyway .

Considering that GOP leaders are on record as saying their prioroty is n’t jobs or fixing the economy, but rather regaining power and defeating Obama, I don’t see any reason why the president should waste time  trying to accomodate these people.

“Roles’ would never be reversed.Republicans have more class.This is nothing but a Liberal hack move.

No one is going to listen to and/or care about what Obummer has to say about jobs. Getting ordinary non-union American citizens back to work is something for which he has scant relish. What an arrogant slob to schedule his speech on the same night as the Republican debate. Obummer is nothing but repulsive to a majority of the American people.

Obama is so arrogant. He has said he would take his story to the people to make congress do what he wants. LOL He did the trip and he saved us from the hurricane and his poll numbers still went down. LOL.
The people have caught on to this empty suit.

 Oh, yeah, because McConnell, Boner and Egon Cantor are just all about putting politics aside and doing what’s best for everyone. LOL

It isn’t a smart political move if it’s transparent to everyone that it is a political move. A smart political move is one that doesn’t make you look like a narcissist. My guess is he was watching the VMAs this weekend and saw how Beyonce was able to steal all the attention with her pregnancy announcement. Or perhaps he reads mediaite http://www.mediaite.com/tv/beyonce-mtv-vmas-break-records-last-night/ Unfortunately for him he’s not breaking any twitter records with this move.

“One cannot reasonably complain about a lack of action, and in the next breath say “let’s wait a day for to hear your plan.”

Actually one can when you schedule your plan to overshadow an event that has been known for weeks. This is tantamount to shouting over your opponent. Especially since events on every network and cable news channel will be preempted.

And Colby, do you remember Obama’s debt ceiling plan? Remember when he ended his vacation early to address the economy? Neither do I. I do remember him ending his vacation early to address the Hurricane, and that was only because he couldn’t blame Irene on the prior administration. 

WTG JOHN!!! Tell him NO!!!! If Obama does not change the date then to hell with him!  We can see it is all a political ploy!  He will not discuss jobs!  Just more crys for higher taxes and spending!  2012 is just around the corner and we will be rid of Prez BoZo!!!!!

Boehner should just say NO to any campaign speech to a joint session of congress; this manchild is a loser, big L for playing this game.  He isn’t interested in solutions, he wants to point fingers of blame.

Pathetic excuse for a POTUS….2012 can’t come soon enough for me.

 Funny you probably had no problem with the GOP moving their 2004 convention to milk the 9/11 anniversary in NYC. But now you want to complain about scheduling.

nice bullshit talking point spin, go watch hardball and let the adults talk

Poor Colby, he has no idea what Obama is about. The people have caught on to this empty suit. This ploy will not work and anyone with a brain would know it. Poor Colby.

Oblamer has had 3 1/2 years to address the jobs issue……I say for him to go ahead and hold it during the GOP debate so the GOP can remind everyone of that FACT!!!
Only a Obot/Liberal/ignoramus fool can’t figure out he is more concerned about his political future than he is about creating jobs.

Not the smartest lemming of the bunch are we!!! Not a question, merely stating the obvious!

Yes, that’s nothing compared to the urgency of a Martha’s Vineyard vacation!

btw, if Obama brings up “infrastructure”, the GOP should remind him we’ve already taken care of that with the $850 Billion Stimulus – oh wait, Obama LIED about that too!

King Obama can’t speak Thursday .

That’s the night his Uncle Omar is on ” Cops”.

The gNOpigs are  free to reschedule their charade.

Or they can lay it out now . It’s just a gNOpig stunt , anyway .

FIXED

Get the real story before you try to report the “news”.  Boehner’s letter stated Congress does not convene until 630pm on September 7.  It takes a 3 hour sweep of the building before the President can enter the building.  Boehner’s letter did not even mention the debate.  Maybe you should read the DrudgeReport to get your news

and since president obama’s plans and policies are the #1 impediment to jobs and the economy, they are focused

The joint-session CAMPAIGN SPEECH & Tea-Party Bash!

Remember, “Tea Party” is the new codeword for “WHITES”, so be sure to record for future use any racist comments by Black Caucus members against “Tea Party” (white) people, if you can read between the lines!!! 

Obama has had 3 years to make this speech…..Oh wait he has made it several times before.  Same old crap. Spend  Spend   Spend

Good response, Boehner…

Every day I wonder how LOW AND DESPICABLE obozo can get – and every day he stoops to be even LOWER AND MORE DESPICABLE.

“How impolitic can Böner be? ”

BFD is upset Robert is giving the Speaker the same nickname that Robert calls BFD .

Maybe the Republicans will just not attend the joint session, it would be just desserts for the president.

When the president gives his address, they should simply pause the debate and then give each candidate five minutes of rebuttal.  That collective response would be a far more informative and entertaining critique of the president than you will get from the talking heads at NBC…

One must wonder how the President’s posterior tastes, as Mr. Hall sure seems to have grown fond of it. But seriously, are we supposed to believe that the public will punish Boehner and the GOP for asking the President to reconsider what is so obviously a crass political move simply because it delays a job creation package one more day? As its presentation is already being delayed seven days to maximize political theater and the President has up to this point failed to demonstrate competence on the subject, I think one day’s delay will be forgiven.

It’s he said vs she said. The White House says it consulted with Boehner a while before formally asking for the the 9/7 date.

Obama is the President. It’s as simple as that…

Then again I’d really like to be able to watching both his job plan speech and the debate.
So perhaps 9/8 would have been best. But it doesn’t matter. Presidential historians are saying that Boehner’s rejection of President Obama’s letter is absolutely unheard of in US history.

You can attack me as a RINO for saying what I said but I believe I was being even-handed. No Speaker of the House has rejected a President’s request to address Congress.

How many more ways can Obama embarrass himself ?

I’m not sure why he would want to talk during the debate anyway most people will be tuned in to hear what the next POTUS has to say…

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/sen-mcconnell-making-obama-a-one-term-president-is-my-single-most-important-political-goal/

 seeing as how Boner couldn’t interrupt his drinking to watch the last debate, why does he suddenly feel it’s so important that it should trump job creation?

“Hotsheet spotted Boehner at Morton’s The Steakhouse on Connecticut
Avenue in Washington enjoying a bottle of Cabernet – and a couple of
cigarettes.
Speaking of the debate, Boehner told Hotsheet that he will “read about it tomorrow.”

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20060266-503544.html

Bullshit the Republicans have been putting party and politics before country for three years so don’t even try it.  Why else would Mitch McConnell’s number one priority be to make President Obama a one term president rather than jobs as he so often and proudly stated.  You’re as full of shit as most of your teabagging kissing cousins.

Oh, please. If the situation was reversed, it would be hailed as a brilliant tactical move by a Republican president. 

The American people would rather hear about what THE PRESIDENT is going to do about jobs, not watch 10 WEIRDO LOSERS try to one up each other, without using actual substance, in the crazy department.

What bill has Congress put forward since “taking back America for jobs” in Nov?

Closing off a woman’s babyhole is not creating jobs

As Sean KKKlownnity would say:

SHOCKING! NEW REVELATIONS! Wild stuff!!

The gNOpig debate introduced… NOTHING… just as always.

More buyble thumping, more flag waving, more tax cuts!

YEEEEHA!

really….did you read “ political goal”   of course you didnt………..talking point lol

dont let a little thing like the american voters get in the way of your talking point, never mind only john boehner votes for president lol

Are you guys going to always complain about getting your butts whipped?

Obama is rope a doping you.

Don’t yall get it?

so you are saying the president plays those games also…….now you are being honest

Republicans and class shouldn’t even be used in the same sentence much like Fox and news.  This is just like pro wrestling.  The republicans have been swinging chairs, pulling hair, pulling tights and every other dirty trick they can think of for three years; but as soon as the good guy picks up the chair that the republicans brought in the ring, and have been using all along, they want to cry foul, beg off, and whine to the referee about cheating.

It makes absolutely NO DIFFERENCE when NO-PLAN OBOZO shovels out his latest “protect-my-job” proposal.

NO-PLAN OBOZO’s jobs proposal (after the VACATIONER-in-CHIEF returns from his latest luxury vacation on the Vineyard) will be nothing more than a joke and a sham. It will have one goal – to be so ridiculously bad, useless and wasteful that the responsible members of Congress will have no choice to reject it. Then NO-PLAN OBOZO will have achieved his REAL goal with this sham proposal – use it to falsely claim that he “would have saved or created millions more jobs if only Congress had accepted his (ridiculous, wasteful, phony) proposal.”  And the d-cRAT socialist stooges in the socialist media will all chime in and agree (naturally).

well, since they are a bunch of petulant whiny babies, I woudn’t be surprised that the GOP would not attend.  how many active congressmen are in the debates?  2? maybe 3?

so, Obama should not hold a joint session of Congress because 2 of the 535 people won’t be there?  ((0.004% of congressmen would not be able to attend))

here’s wishing that POTUS doesn’t back down and OrangeManWhoCriesAlot wails again.

“political goal” get you talking points right lol, but the democrats and the president are above it , lets pass the bill so we can see whats in it

Obama’s going to speak about creating jobs? LMFAO! This clueless actor knows as much about creating jobs as GWB knows where Saddam’s WMD went.

Read the Drudge report to get your news.  That would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

you do have a point, the american people would never watch msnbc

Jesus, Hall…can you be any more blatantly biased?  So the WH’s scheduling is “smart” but this response by Boehner is “politics”? 

Your columns are growing more pathetic by the day.  Do you honestly believe the stuff you write?

and you would whine about it, so your point is?

The whole Righty/TeaBagger Cult debate doesn’t matter.

The election has already been settled. When they told everyone they want to do away with Social Security and Medicare it was done.

Thank you TeaBagger Cult Nation. You have effectively turned the country against the Republicans and they will be on unemployment in 2012!

Even you don’t believe the horsesh*t that you write, dude.  Using your logic, what were the politics of him going on vacation instead of giving this speech a couple of weeks ago?  What a foolish thing for you to say, but hey, you are what you are.

where is the republicans job bill?

Our infrastructure is crumbling and they are screaming for more money for infrastructure and that will bring jobs!  But, it was green jobs that flopped and high speed rail to nowhere, that stimulated the manchild.  Both, very expensive boondoggles, maybe add Obama to the boondoggle pille…..all are very expensive boondoggles.

Obama knows how to create jobs the way GWB knows where Saddam’s WMD’s went. Why pretend the Obamaclypse knows anything other than socialist economic policies that simply take money from the middle class?

Not sure why you guys are so upset this is a presidential speech, the republicans will have plenty of time to debate.

We’ve seen & heard his job speeches before.
He’s a socialist.
Socialism and Free-Market principles cannot co-exist.

People are more concerned with jobs than hating whitey, so although the Democrats will play their worn-out race card again, it will fail this time, and Barry will be a one-term president.

End of story…Goodnight Gracie, Goodnight George!

Barry, no one cares what ya got to say. It will be a recapitulation of your hackneyed lib TPs.

What money has he taken from you Nanc?

I am glad you claim to speak for the Teabaggeds.

What better example of a deranged, clueless, paranoid, sick fk.

You could make your shtick better if you change you moniker to

REAL TeaBagged’Murkan.

He had to wait until something other than one of his own vacations, golf dates, WH parties, or something like that didn’t compete with his speech?

he looks like a joke for scheulding it at this precise time – oh wait a minute – he is a joke.  It is hardly a politically astute move, rather a very transparent and stupid move.  But hey, we expected mediatie to come to his defense, you always do.

why do you care? Cant you just watch the republican debate and not watch Obama? Who cares?

What a Low-Life this guy in the White House is!

he says scheduling the (LOL!) Jobs Speech (LOL) – ie, Campaign Bash of Republicans – had nothing to do with politics — LMAO!

This guy is a pathetic, partisan hack…and a proven LIAR in most of his claims & intentions! 

where is the democrats job bill?

Good for Obama!  Only the hillbillies give a rats ass about the teabaggers blowing smoke up each others asses that night anyway.  Boehner is nothing but whiny b*tch about everything.  More “NO” from the party of No.  Well, guess what?  F off Boehner and the rest of the teabagging hillbillies.  I hope the Pres sticks to his guns on this one.

“Asking the President to delay a major policy address before Congress to make way for a political debate is not the best way to show people you’re not playing politics”

Someone help me me; do these Internet news websites have editors who check the work of writers before they hit the enter key on their keyboards? if this website does, I think the jail is being run by the criminals. People go read the letter sent by Boehner and tell me where it says he was delaying the speech for a political debate. It lists explicitly the reasons why it should be moved to the next day. By the way, banning me from commenting from you little website is not going to change the fact that you and your fellow writers here are nothing but a bunch of hacks for this administration and you all do it in such a laughable and childish manner that it would make the MSNBC crowd look like the Pulitzer class.

More tax cuts for the “job creators” who are creating jobs in China with their tax cuts.

Meanwhile, the little gNOpigs are squealing about being taxed too much.

;^)

It all makes sense now.
Oblamer is doing this immature tactic to piss the GOP off and then when they refuse to get on board of his jobs plan he can then shift the blame on them!!!
I don’t think this idiot has ever accepted responsibility in his life!!

America needs to come to grips and face the fact that we have a incompetent idiot in the WH!!

Norbit how can you possibly call anyone a partisan hack. You are the biggest partisan hack on this board. All you do is spew GOP talking points.

In case you missed it, we have three EQUAL branches of government. The President is REQUIRED to ask permission to address a joint session of Congress. Obama (and YOU) seem to think that his is an IMPERIAL presidency- think again, it’s NOT!

Congress is not even back in session until the night of the 8th. Obama played a stupid, political game and he looks like the arrogant, narcissistic man that he is.

Sounds like you know a lot about men rolling around in tights.

Boy Barry has no reason to wear a jock strap! Ever see him throw a baseball?

never mind it has only been 2 years and 7 months no rush

COMEDY!!!!

Your Stupidity/Crazy is showing!

Seriously, though, how much do you get paid to post these TeaBagger Cult talking points 24/7?

Obamas going to ask for one. Its a good political move and good for the country. He’s going to ask for something and the republicans are going to shoot him down. That way he puts them on the defensive.

It seems a little petty to schedule this to conflict with the debates. But ok, we will just add being petty to the long list of Obama’s shortcomings.

Apparently, Obama’s “people” informed Boehner of their request approximately FIFTEEN MINUTES PRIOR to their media announcement! I don’t call that “consulting with.”

Why does Obama need a joint session of Congress to make his speech on jobs?  And why wait until Sept 7th or 8th? He had over 2+ years to come up  with some kind of realistic plan. In the past all he can come up with are so called “Green Jobs” which haven’t done so well or building expensive railroads for union workers nobody wants. So my hunch is that he doesn’t have a plan right now, at least not an original plan. He needs at least a week to throw something together. He should be glad Boehner is giving him an extra day to come up with something that might actually makes sense. Well, on second thought, maybe a week plus one day isn’t enough time either. Like I said, he’s had over 2+ years already.

This is only one example among many..

Funny I haven’t heard or seen one republican congressman ask for a cut in his pay and benefits or offer to reduce his or her staff. Why don’t they set an example?

Lord knows, this President is certainly WORTHY of contempt.

 He got the stimulus plan passed, I know you don’t believe that was a jobs bill but technically it was.

It was lost somewhere between Baghdad and Kabul.

But you and gNOpigs can find comfort on another school in Baghdad getting new paint.

Im not clear on why you cant just watch your morons debate and turn off the president. You wont agree with anything he says anyway.

 Republicans shouldn’t get angry about it when they’d do the same exact thing.

Before he went on his taxpayer-funded vacation on “the” Vineyard, one of Cantor’s people DID tweet, “just put it on a piece of paper and put it in the mail.” Unfortunately, at the time, Obama didn’t know WHAT his “jobs” plan was- he needed someone to tell him and outline it for him- that’s what Valerie Jarrett is for.

Ed, you need to move to LA when you retire and become a screenwriter.  Hire a vapid young stud to be your body double, and you’ll clean up.

Have ANOTHER drink!

Most Americans already have!
You seen the Polls recently?

I wish Colby would answer your last question. It’s a conundrum, isn’t it? I find it hard to believe it myself- Colby “looks” normal.

The lack of leadership by Boehner is appalling, and the tea party congress that was voted in, in a  supposed historic wave, has become a laughing stock. Do these morons really think they are going to build on that victory?

Former GOP Sen. Chuck Hagel (NE) can’t muster any praise for his Republican colleagues’ behavior in Congress over the past few months. In an interview with the Financial Times, Hagel blasted GOP leadership for their “irresponsible actions” during the debt ceiling debacle, noting that “I think about some of the presidents we’ve had on my side of the aisle — Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr., go right through them, Eisenhower — they would be stunned.”
“Disgusted” with the debt ceiling negotiations, Hagel called it “an astounding lack of responsible leadership by many in the Republican party, and I say that as a Republican.” “Does anyone not believe what’s happened here the last couple weeks in the market was not a complete, direct result of the lack of confidence that came out of that folly, that embarrassment?”

We couldn’t get our shit through the Democrat controlled Senate.  WAAAAA ! ! ! !

How about you just spare us the same old speech and just deliver jobs.

In otherwords recind ObamaCare, then resign as that would just what America needs to get things back moving in the right, as opposed to left direction.

And a pretty bad golfer,so I’m told!

“Job Creators” 
That’s the biggest f&cking joke that Luntz ever produced and you Righty/TeaBagger Cult members love it.

Can any of you TeaBagger Cult members points out any ”Job Creators” that hire because of the lower taxes that the upper tax brackets currently enjoy?

TeaBaggers work for these ”Job Creators” free of charge so you can’t count your imbecilic selves in this

His jobs plan will be pork for democrats funded by cuts in defense spending. A big boondoggle spending plan to benefit the Shirley Sherrods of the world.

The term “thug” comes to mind.

“I’m gonna get you Sucka!”

You’ll be in the FEMA camp soon!!!

We all know unemployment checks and food stamps create jobs.

ehYeah….BO’s a shrewd operator – pleads for bipartisanship then pulls a stunt like this. And of course he figured Boehner would have to object so the Dems could point fingers. Too bad Boehner couldn’t offer the day before….

I will watch Obama’s speech either live or at some point thereafter on the web.

Now, I noticed you didn’t answer either of my questions. I know, you really don’t have an answer. And, I bet you didn’t go to that link I provided. I know, you probably won’t agree with it anyway.

I think that if Boehner says ‘we are not inviting you on that date,’ Obama gets a bigger snub than any sitting president has ever received.  Not so politically smart if it works out that way, especially since the public has largely abandoned him.  Only the hue and cry of the relatively few remaining zealots would be heard. Pawn forks Bishop and Knight.

It’s no secret that Obama tips a few, might want to think before you start slinging mud.

yes unmutual And why didn’t your republicans block the extension of unemployment benefits? Oh thats right they thought keeping george bushes tax cuts were more important. So they helped decrease revenue coming in and increased money going out. Wow this is brilliant.

Don’t be letting him be messing with ropes, won’t even be a good outcome, gotta a real bad visual.

Do all of your talking points come from Jabba the Rush?

By John Hayward 08/31/2011

Obamanomics equals bankruptcy.  It seems as if every day we get a new story of a “green jobs” enterprise laying people off, or closing its doors.  When
forensic technicians finally do manage to locate “green jobs” with the
aid of powerful microscopes, it turns out they cost the taxpayers
hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars apiece to create.

The latest Obama Epic Fail is Solyndra, a solar
technology company in California that coughed up red ink and died today,
as reported by NBC Bay Area:

“I was told by a
security guard to get my [stuff] and leave,” one employee said. The
company employs a little more than 1,000 employees worldwide, according
to its website.

Shortly after it opened
a massive $700 million facility, it canceled plans for a public stock
offering earlier this year and warned it would be in significant trouble
if federal loan guarantees did not go through.

The company has said it
will make a statement at 9am California time, though it’s not clear
what that statement will be. An NBC Bay Area photographer on the scene
reports security guards are not letting visitors on campus. He says
“people are standing around in disbelief.” The employees have been given
yellow envelopes with instructions on how to get their last checks.

Bloomberg News reported on the statements duly delivered by company executives:

“Regulatory and policy
uncertainties in recent months created significant near-term excess
supply and price erosion,” Solyndra’s President and Chief Executive
Officer Brian Harrison said in the statement.

[…] “The changing
economics have affected a number of solar manufacturers in recent
months, including unfortunately, Solyndra,” Dan Leistikow, director of
the Energy Department​’s Office of Public Affairs, said today in an article on the department’s website.

“We have always
recognized that not every one of the innovative companies supported by
our loans and loan guarantees would succeed.”

Which ones have been roaring successes?

Solyndra was a centerpiece of Obama’s wise economic
stewardship, not just some puny little electric-car battery
manufacturer that could be left to die after whelping a couple of
million-dollar paper-pushing “green jobs.”  As the NBC report explains:

Solyndra was touted by
the Obama administration as a prime example of how green technology
could deliver jobs. The President visited the facility in May of last
year and said  “it is just a testament to American ingenuity and
dynamism and the fact that we continue to have the best universities in
the world, the best technology in the world, and most importantly the
best workers in the world. And you guys all represent that. ”

The federal government
offered $535 million in low cost loan guarantees from the Department of
Energy. NBC Bay Area has contacted the White House asking for a
statement.

Some Republicans have
been very critical of the loans.  “I am concerned that the DOE is
providing loans and loan guarantees to firms that aren’t capable of
competing in the global market, even with government subsidies”  Florida
Congressman Cliff Stearns told the New York Times​.

Looks like “some Republicans” were right again, and Obama was wrong, wrong, wrong. 

The President even alluded to Solyndra in his January 2010 State of the Union speech:

Last year, we made the
largest investment in basic research funding in history -– (applause) –
an investment that could lead to the world’s cheapest solar cells or
treatment that kills cancer cells but leaves healthy ones untouched. And
no area is more ripe for such innovation than energy. You can see the
results of last year’s investments in clean energy -– in the North
Carolina company that will create 1,200 jobs nationwide helping to make
advanced batteries; or in the California business that will put a thousand people to work making solar panels.

(Emphasis mine.)  These massive failed
attempts to restructure the free market with raw executive power have a
number of ill effects, besides wasting millions in loan guarantees and
taxpayer subsidies.  They pump false data into the market, causing other companies to behave as if the illusory non-market actually exists.  Solyndra employees just got a stiff dose of “green jobs” failure, but they’re not the only ones who will taste that bitter brew.  Solyndra had suppliers, contractors, and other peripheral business contacts.  All of them will be affected. 

Meanwhile, the money poured into this
“green” rat hole could have been used in a thousand better ways, all of
them completely unknown to Obama and his central planners.  Solyndra is
but one of their many expensive failures.  How long will it take us to
recover from the damage this Administration has inflicted?  Does anyone
want to try blaming this on George Bush?

The death of Solyndra isn’t difficult to
understand, for anyone outside of the money-burning maniacs of the Obama
Administration.  The government does not create jobs.  The government does not create markets.  The most important step we can take toward economic growth is getting our money as far away as possible from people like Barack Hussein Obama​.

You are confusing the Fux viewers.

LOL!

What’s the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenburg? I’ll tell you!
One is a fat Nazi gasbag, and the other is an award-winning talk radio host with
talent on loan from God

Are there any South Park Liberals?

How sad a low the republican party has become.Truly showing just how UNAMERICAN they really are.Why does this first African American president scare you so much?Make you disregard the office of the president of the United states. For all the god and country,flag wearing on your sleeve this goes against the grain.We are the UNITED States of America not the divided states as much as it seems you republican/teaparty are trying to make it.Just sad.

Ahhh you mean like grafting defense companies dollars and subsidizing farm,and oil companies would that have been a better use of the money? How about 3 billion a year to israel would that have been a better use of the money? The bailouts and tax breaks to the auto companies have seemed to work, so this one didn’t work so what? George Bush bailout banks for far more money than this whats your point?

Guy,
Here’s the Grifter’s Play:

Hey Republicans, let’s put politics aside for the sake of the country; and by the way, I’ll be upstaging all of you with my Blame the Tea Party (codeword for “whites” amognst the elected Racists of the Congressional Black Caucus) campaign speech before a joint session of you’all!

Like the rest of my presidency, watch what I DO, not what I SAY! – I’m King Obama You Fools!!

You base that OPINION on what?

How about a jacket….with straps instead of sleeves?

Inside the mind of a Partisan Political Hack:

“Hey Republicans, let’s put politics aside for the sake of the country; and by the way, I’ll be upstaging all of you with my Blame the Tea Party campaign speech before a joint session of Congress!

And don’t worry about any reprecussions, because MY MEDIA will cover it all up!”

A 2010 study by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that in fiscal year 2009 the biofuel tax credits reduced federal revenues by around US$6 billion, of which corn ethanol accounted for US$5.16 billion and cellulosic ethanol accounted for US$50 million. A 2010 study by the Environmental Working Group estimated that the cumulative ethanol subsidies between 2005 and 2009 were US$17 billion. Considering the levels of ethanol production mandated by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), the same study estimates that the total cost to taxpapers will be US$53.59 billion if these tax credits continue to be extended until 2015, when 15 billion gallons are required by EISA

I respectfully disagree.  http://kaystreet.wordpress.com/2010/10/30/obama-administration%e2%80%99s-achievements-thus-far/

Fan of the President here and think the planning of this was really weak. The White House is better then this. If this speech is so important why no give this speech from the Oval House or Rose Garden this week. Stop with this PR nonsense

This just in…last March, a Republican willing to take a cut in pay:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/44/post/republican-congressman-we-should-take-a-pay-cut-user-poll/2011/03/29/AFfdLqtB_blog.html

There’s also a Repub congressman in Illinois that is not taking the cadillac healthcare plan offered by the gov’t.  He’s paying for his own healthcare.

Please crawl back into your hole….  appearently the president has to be invited to a joint session of congress, he can not simply invite himself…  maybe his antics will backfire on him…  How will that look to the American people?  POTUS so weak that congress tells him to take a hike…   there will be no one else to blame but himself as this was his cute little powerplay. 

Norbit this is a speech by the president. He may not be your president, but what he has to say is more important at this point than what 10 guys running for a primary spot and are on their third debate are saying. They are debating for the right to get nominated for their party. You republicans should watch it because its important to you. I cant vote for a republican in the primaries because i am a democrat so I will watch the president its as simple as that. Its like being pissed off because a TV show you don’t like is on at the same time a TV show you do like. You can just turn to the TV show you like.

And all the planning, work and cost putting this debate together?  That’s also a two way street, why did Obama choose that date?

petty is the new smart?  I don’t think so…

I disagree this is important for the entire govt. They need to get together and make something constructive happen. Its a good idea for them to all be in the same room and show an interest in creating jobs. Because right now the country has little faith in any of them.

Unemployment is roughly the same as August 2010. Stock Market is up about 1300 pts from this time in 2010. GDP is stagnant, and yet in the last 370 days nothing has been urgent and dire enough for Obama to come out with his jobs plan.  Colby’s theory is this 1 day out of 370 will paint the Republicans as truly not wanting to work on this nations jobs issue even though they already had a debate planned.
Truth is CBS and CNN already have their marching orders to pummel the Republican candidates with questions that will make them seem unloyal to Obama’s job agenda. Watch how they tie it into Obama’s agenda.

“The gubimmint dont create jobs”

You might wanna tell that to the military, you moron.

The Department of Defense, the MILITARY, is by far  the largest “job creator” you moron.

The peons, the foot soldiers are paid with MY TAXES, because I doubt you pay any.

The drones and stealth tech. All paid by MY TAXES.

And it took trial an error, you moron. Look up moon landing and space shuttle.

The FDA?

I am sure you are ready to eat road kill passed as beef.  You gNOpig morons can’t taste the difference anyway.

The Internet? Oh, fuk me. Yeah. Developed and PAID, PAID YOU MORON, through USA taxes.

Cigarettes?  Well, the gubbimint  didn’t do enough to stop those as* Holes from peddling poison!

Don’t let me stop you as you gNOpigs take back the country to the dark ages.

Rio they can still have there debate! Plus they can have 10 more debates until the primaries are over. Republicans will watch the debate and other people can watch the president whats wrong with that?

…or from the Yacht Club in Martha’s Vineyard!
That would play well in the Black Caucus districts – give those Democratic voters a chance to see how much Obama’s pals – that he gave the bailouts, zero-interest fund-rates, and tax breaks to - are sufferring right along with them!

What would be the point of splitting up the viewers?  Obama is president of all and should be speaking to the broadest audience he can get.  The debate is also important, this is a critical time, hopefully the voters will be studying…….Obama’s speech and what the candidates are putting forward…..we need informed voters not two sides competing for air time.

Are you a Laundress?

wow one guy out of 300 isn’t that special since he knew there was no way that was gonna happen. Im glad he offered up. But its like me offering you a million dollars, I know you wont get it because I don’t have it.

Im talking about the republicans in the house putting a bill on the floor RIO. How bout them doing that huh? They hate government so much why don’t they offer to put up a bill that will cut their pay and benefits?

cjdohio1: why are you a coward with no balls?

making obama a 1 term president IS a political goal you fscktard.

yet Rio has no actual proof of “few”
does few equal = 1?

rio obviously isn’t married.

It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with competence, Obama is not a capable president, he’s in way over his head..

but you have zero proof

Why did the republicans filibuster 12 jobs bills under obama so far?

cjdoio1 is just a cowardly crybaby conservative with no pee pee.

That totally explains why he has never gotten laid.

Obama has the good idea, the problem is that he took the country’s debt too high.
http://www.rsurbano.com.br/

and Fedup in Florida can show up to congress tomorrow with a video camera and a youtube feed and totally take apart  boehner and reid :)

why is fedup in flordia a coward? is it because he hasn’t gotten laid in 400 years?

Why is this debate important they will have many more and the primaries haven’t even started yet. Perry is going to win anyway so who cares?

you aren’t even being honest about your real name, so why should anyone give you credibility on anything ?: D

since you have no balls, can I shave your wife’s vagina this weekeknd?

why are you a coward ?  Is it because you don’t get touched in your ‘happy place’ ?

Yah right are they on record as wanting to destroy the air so no one can breath and go back to lynching blacks like the Dems used to. What other garbage can you spew.

Still not answering my questions… I am for common sense deep defense cuts and I do want farm subsidizes to gradually be fazed out. I think the oil companies should have the same subsidizes all other companies get nothing more. (Buy the way..Even though Exxon makes a shit load of profit in dollars it’s still only around 10% of Gross revenue). If if you’re going to punish job producers you might as well go after another one called MicroSoft. Their profits are approaching 30% of revenue. But I know the left can’t stand companies that make a profit that’s why Obama can’t figure out how to produce jobs. By the way can you explain GE not having to pay taxes on a pretty decent bottom line? I do want to stop foreign aid to everyone not just Israel. But I do want to be there to help Israel militarily if they need our help. Why are you just pick on Israel, you like Jews?

And I never once brought up bailouts or Bush…

I have tried to answer all or most of your questions. You haven’t answered one of mine from 2 different post. And of course I know why, you have no answers. So if you response to this post without answering any of my questions I will be done with you. You libs are all the same..You have no answers! Just like Obama!

I heard he smokes too. LOL It must be getting harder and harder to come up with anything good to say about Obama.

Let’s HOPE you got a source for yours!

Interesting that it seems that the dems are name calling and screeching like stuck pigs lately and the GOP is whiny? LOL Real hard to come up with anything isn’t it?

Sharpo is a real name?

Karen is another who watches PMSNBC during her time of the month.

The way Obama billed the American people tens of millions of dollars just so he could be in Iowa during the GOP Straw Poll with his bus tour, and the way Obama deliberately scheduled his bullshit teleprompter speech to coincide with the GOP debate reeks of a childish desperation to remain significant.

Give Karen a break.  It’s obviously her time of the month and she’s cranky.

Why don’t we just let Obama and Ron Paul debate instead?

Hahaha Boehner couldn´t do the right thing if  it is presented to him over and over again. It´s so obvious what a smart, witty, intelligent politician would do here, but I guess it´s impossible than you are too busy taming the insanity in your own party. 

That’s the beauty of the four year Presidential term that foreigner and unaccredited Obama advisor Fareed Zakaria seems to loathe so much. You can sweet talk, charm and lie your way into office as Obama has, but by the third year the country catches on to you, and in Obama’s case, realizes that you’re an empty suit bullshit artist.

I will say that hating whitey works if you’re on welfare and a minority.

lol

You mean Colby is already trying to spread the Leftist’s anti-Republican meme around?
Sacre bleu!

Do you really think Obama is going to, for the first time in his Presidency, give a well thought out, meaningful speech with a real plan, and not just be a partisan dick like he always is?

You haven’t been watching his speeches very much if you seriously believe what you just wrote.

You got the slimeball pegged Norbit!

Obamo is a Lame D_ck. He knows it, we know it.

Let the child have his fun.

When I talk about defense cuts I’m talking about getting out of these long wars we keep finding ourselves in. And closing bases in countries where we are not wanted like Japan and Germany and Turkey and Cuba and few others. Now I’m not a military expert so I don’t know where to cut….but if we are going to ever come close to balancing our budget in the long term we will have to make cuts everywhere period.. The Military does not exist simply as a job producer. We of course need it but not for job creation. …

Now I have not call anyone on these post names. So if you can’t respond to me in kind go fuck yourselves.

Oxycon has bragged here before that he was a 40+ year Democrat and a union member? He’s even bragged about campaigning for Kerry in 2004.

What a pathetic TeaBagger Cult member he’s become.

Did you turn to the ‘stupid side’ when you started getting your union pension or Social Security?

And do they pay you to put up these mindless posts day after day? I sure as hell hope so!

When are you idiots going to figure out that your race-baiting only digs the hole deeper for the Dimucrats?

Ethanol production has contributed to raising food prices worldwide as well.

The only type of ethanol production that makes any sense is from waste products.

I hope the politicians who support this crap have trouble sleeping at night thinking about the hungry people in the world they are causing.

JOBS and the ECONOMY are more important than seeing one of twenty million debates to decide who the LOSER GOP candidate will be.

STOP! STOP!

FIGURES and FACTS only confuse the Teapublican Traitors

It’s always about race with you.

Hmmmmmmm, I wonder why????

I am not going to call you a RINO…  you are as much entitled to your opinion as I am to mine..  but I think that it is also likely that no other president has made his request under similar circumstances..  maybe they will start the debate at nine… that would be the best of all outcomes…  But I still say this is typical for this president, he is pure politician and he is very comfortable at hitting below the belt, he chose this date and time to interfer with the debate.. I would not blame Boehner if he refused to invite, that would really not bother me, and the president would have to share in the embarrassment, both of the moment and in the historical context. As he would be the first president in history to have been refused by congress. 

Do you ever think for yourself or do you always repeat your liberal talking points? We all know the answer…do you!! There’s gonna be a lot of unhappy lemmings come next November. I’m sure you will be the first in line to riot like a good little liberal!!

Yet you think your plastic Messiah can part the seas and bring peace to the middle East!!

The first step in bringing back the economy is to get rid of our incompetent community organizer…the good thing is Oblamer is helping to make this happen!!

Except for 113 years, the President didn’t go before Congress, because before then, maybe the separation of powers was respected a little more or something. So who cares about protocol since 1913? I don’t.

More like fat on loan from the American Beef Council.
Or medication on loan from Leif Garrett’s glovebox.

Why is boehner trying  to put the Presidents address up against the opening game of the NFL season?

Is bohner trying to delay the address so nobody will hear his new ideas becuase they’re watching football insted?  Is boehner playing games here?

Wanna make a bet which has higher ratings aka which more Americans care about and better for the economy? Another Republican debate or the two latest two World Champs (Green Bay vs New Orleans) kicking off the NFL season?

boo-hoo. the GOP clown car has a debate every three weeks or so. and no one watches, including Boner. American voters don’t care at this stage.
This is just whining from Boner, and more of his Do-anything-to keep-the-economy-from-being-fixed plan for 2012.

 Guess you didn’t read the quotes about McConnell’s “top priority” when they made the news.
I guess FOX didn’t report on that gaffe.

You conflate the word ‘jobs’, these jobs do not create wealth in our country, they must be paid for with tax money and opportunity costs. You might know that if you weren’t a dochebag lib with the maturity of an eight year old.

NFL Opening game (Green Bay vs New Orleans) > Republican preliminary debate.

 Oblamer?
this coming from the party that’s still trying deflect blame from the fact that the economy went from a boom and surpluses in 2001 to a collapse and deficits in 2009 during George W. Boosh’s terms.

Dear Bob
This is a Democrat manufactured crisis….Obama’s acting childish…..and he…or someone on his staff is a complete ass…….there’s no way they didn’t know this would conflict with the republicans……..they’re trying to firm up their base….getting people like you all worked up……and they looking foolish doing it. The independants aren’t buying this….it’s more Obama Smoke and Mirrors. Another nail in his coffin.

The party of Divide and Conquer pulls out the Race Card (what else!) against Tea Party (codeword for white) people and FOX News (vs. Democratic Media News).

The Socialist-Democratic Coup was thwrted in 2010, but must be expunged in 2012!
These people have no respect for the rule-of-law, and try to SMEAR opponents, instead of debate them,with their filthy Race-Card Ploy!

Clearly, the biggest Racists today hail from the Democratic Party – and their Black Caucus, in particular!

Sexist Too. Very Classy guy.

Lots of jerks here

Norbit are you for real or are you some kinda of experimental conservative robot devised by an evil scientist.

 Who knows but ill watch him. I watched most of George Bushs dopey speeches that were full of shit,and its a fairly important speech so Ill give him a chance just like I did Bush.

Before World War II started, FDR was cruising on the presidential yacht. Chester Nimitz was on another naval yacht with his family and other officers and their families. Chester Nimitz was also a very conservative Republican. During their respective cruises, the yachts were going to pass each other. When this happened, it was customary for all the persons in the non-presidential yacht to go on deck and salute or pay their respect to the President. On this occasion, Chester Nimitz’s daughter refused to come up on deck. Nimitz went below deck and had a very one sided conversation with his daughter. He told her in no uncertain terms, he did not care what she thought of Roosevelt, but she was going to show her respect to the President of the United States of America. She went on deck. Obviously, when Boehner served in the navy, he did not serve under Chester Nimitz.

No I never said I don’t like Jews but Israel is a giant welfare state 3 billion a year far more than any other country. But what confuses me about conservatives and even liberals to some extent is that its all about perception. What govt money is good what is bad? Well propping up a democracy in the middle east that other than the fact they are a democracy does not share our type of government and are a gigantic social state makes no sense in my mind if you are truly a conservative. Now this solar deal I agree sounds stupid to me sounds like a mistake. The way I see things is that both parties want to spend the same amount of money but on different things. I think you are delusional if you think the conservatives actually want to cut spending in the long term. Its not about cutting to them,its about cutting the programs they don’t like and then spending the money elsewhere. Same with the libs actually,believe it or not they would actually like to cut spending on things as well(defense,subsides for corporations ect) but on the backend they want to give it to someone else.

Obama to GOP:  It’s not always about you.

Is there a third choice?

lol ok at least from that comment I know you are human:)

The president caved on this too? What a WUSS. There’s absolutely no incentive to get out and vote for this guy. Not any more. Can’t even stand up against a gotdamn tv scheduling conflict?? Fuck that! No more donations, no more support, and damn sure no more votes. 

If Obama was smart he’d be lining up some high-priced speaking engagements for 2013. This way he can keep Michelle on the kind of vacations she’s gotten used to, while on the public dole.
I’ll bet that’ll make her proud of her country again!

very good =======wwwjordanforworldcom

Looks like I was right when I said….”Just a matter of time before our incompetent community organizer heads to Boehners request like a good boy!!” ….Our Blamer-in-chief has now decided to postpone his hopey dopey speech…..The Libs are furious….not because I predicted it but because their plastic Messiah caved in….again…lol

I wished picking the numbers to the lotto was this easy!!

They be on the east side.

If Sarah Palin was smart she’d be lining up some high-priced speaking
engagements for 2013. This way she can keep Trigg on the kind of
vacations he’s gotten used to, while on the public dole.I’ll bet that’ll make her proud of her country again! FIXED

When old people that think like you are finally taking their dirt naps in the future, the country is going to be a much better place and I’m sure we’ll all be much more proud of our country again!

Please ‘Go To Sleep’ Old Man!!!!

What you say about conservatives that spend money just like liberal do is true to some degree. But I call these big spenders progressives. The so called progressive conservatives (RINOs) spenders just get us to bankruptcy just a little slower than the progressive liberals which are actually socialist which gets us to bankruptcy faster. Just my opinion. Look at Europe now. I’m no fan of George Bush. I’m more of a libertarian but I don’t agree with all of them either. There is no perfect party.

Everybody just about on the far left like to call the Tea Party folks racist, with no real examples or hard evidence. The racist is pulled just to distract what they really stand for. Tea Party has 2 main objectives.

1. To restore fiscal sanity to the the federal government.
2. A return to constitutional principles.

They and I want all races to succeed period. The racist card is simply used every time someone or some group from the right gains a little power or popularity. It has been over used. There are many fiscally conservative democrats that either identify or are actual member of the Tea Party. Many are Libertarians like myself and some are true social and fiscal conservatives. The Tea Party members may disagree on a whole bunch of issues like abortion, gay marriages, decriminalizing drugs, how we deploy our military, how to reform the tax code, so on and so on. But we all feel these are nothing but distraction and side issues on what we feel are the most important issues, getting our fiscal house in order and a return to constitutional principles.

BTW, Given that Blacks voted 95% for Obama (to some extent understandable historically) the Tea Party does not except a lot of Black support although they would welcome it. But they do not deserve to be labeled racist just because the Tea Party doesn’t support Obama’s agenda.

I know some of this is off topic but I needed to say it..

BTW I don’t want to vote for another George Bush into the Presidency but as hard it is to say  I’ll take it over Obama . I hope it doesn’t come down to that.

BTW..This link is an interactive world MAP that tells you have much aid we give to other countries. The link is date 02/07/2011, not that far back. I can not say one way or the other how accurate it is but according to this website Israel doesn’t get the most financial aid. I didn’t have time to see who does but it is color coded and all you have to do is drag your mouse over the country.

Kind of cool but maybe tomorrow I’ll have to the see how accurate it is against other sources.

http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2011/02/foreignaid.html

heres a good link http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/politics/us-foreign-aid.htm

lol, dullo, ron white is right…..you cant fix stupid

So what, Sharpo. Getting rid of the “other party’s” president is ALWAYS the political goal of the opposite party. The Dems wanted to get rid of Bush. The GOP wants to get rid of Obama. What’s so unusual about that?

It’s ALWAYS a priority of the opposition to get rib of the other party’s incumbent. It’s been that way since politics started! Why is this such a big deal for you? If a Repub wins in 2012, I guarantee it will be the Dems number one priority to get rid of him or her in 2016. God knows, the economy and jobs haven’t been number one in the Dems eyes these last 2 1/2 years.

I am really sick and tired of political dumb bells running our country and playing games together while wanting us, the American people, to listen to them.  I tuned out the GOP debate and doubt I will be listening to Obama’s latest pie in the sky plan.  

You sound like a nasty queer.

WINNING

Lame.  If you seriously don’t recognize screeching and whining from your side as well, then you’re far too partisan.  That door has always swung both ways (to the same degree, no less).  Let’s not be children and pretend it doesn’t.

But has it always been the Number 1 priority like McConnell stated?  Personally, there are a lot of struggling people who care far more about getting a paycheck than whether a Dem or Republican gets to puff out their chests for four years.

Partisan politics are destroying this country.  No free-thinking American can argue that fact.

Turk, I don’t always agree with you politically, but your posts are usually educated and thought-out.

By repeating the GOP talking points about vacations and golf, makes you look like one of the cultists of “no”.  There’s plenty to criticize this President about.  By falling back on those petty arguments, it allows anything you have to say afterwards to be washed away as “partisan hackdom”.  Don’t lower yourself to that.

Still, the question remains valid.  What bill HAS congress put forward since “Taking back America for jobs” in Nov?

So the point is that this game goes on and on while people still can’t find work.

And all of us dummies will get on this site, stabbing our flags in the ground claiming victory…while nothing gets done. 

The country going to hell isn’t the fault of Dems or Republicans.  It’s the fault of politicians and lobbyists.

Don’t you know?  There’s not a single racist or sexist in the Republican party.  Just ask them.

I wouldn’t bring “medication” into the discussion as a shot at rush since your boy in the whitehouse is intimately familiar with all sorts of “medication” both smoked and snorted….

I wouldn’t bring “medication” into the discussion as a shot at rush since your boy in the whitehouse is intimately familiar with all sorts of “medication” both smoked and snorted….

I think he actually claimed that he would be responsible for the seas not continueing to rise if you were referring to his inauguration speech.  Schematics I guess…
