Obama's Speech: Dysfunctional Three Ring Circus

[Evo]

I have to agree with what he said tonight, even though he interrupted my cooking show.

Politicians need to stop the showboating and do what is in the best interest of the country.

He's right, it is a dysfunctional three ring circus.

 

[Pengwuino]

What in the world did I miss that would dare interrupt Evos cooking show?

 

[Pattonias]

I at least would prefer a functional three ring circus. It is also more of a two ring circus IMO.

 

[Evo]

What in the world did I miss that would dare interrupt Evos cooking show?

This is highly unusual, since when can the speaker of the House interrupt national TV?

I do not ever remember anyone but the President being able to interrupt for a special announcement.

Now John Boehner is interrupting TV.

The end of the world is truly nigh.

Are you listing to the GOP response?

edit: Opps. I guess you did.

 

[Evo]

Are you listing to the GOP response?

Unfortunately.

 

[dlgoff]

Unfortunately.

You know what I do when I hear this crap? Head for the fridge for another beer.

This is the whole problem in a nutshell. "Presidential speech and Republican response"

We are truly a nation divided at the top with no one that cares about the nation itself. They'd rather screw the people until there is nothing left.

They don't care, they're rich, their money is offshore (most likely) and they have the ability to move to another country.

As my microbrewery glass says, "...because without beer, things do not seem to go as well..."

Hey. Maybe the GOP needs to get really drunk. You think that will help?

Careful Evo. I would hate to see you get banned.

 

[Evo]

I thought that was the problem.

Really, would it kill these people to actually work together for the greater good?

I know, that's a really stupid question, they aren't in this for the good of the nation, politicians only care for themselves.

I'm so disgusted.

 

[dlgoff]

I think I'll just have another beer and try to forget. Before I say something ...

 

[Evo]

People are free to disagree, I'm just tired of the sandbox level tantrums on both sides.

And I don't even *like* politics.

But they interrupted my cooking show! I was ready for the perfect night.

Me too. More beer!

More beer!

Hi Don!

I'm druckn.

And I agree.

Same here. But now it doesn't matter. I've had a six pack.

Despite what the President says, it is obvious to me that Congress will kick the can further down the road and when they do, the President will sign it. The only question left is this: Will it be a beer can? All those in favor say aye.

 

[BobG]

Wow! Obama launched the first denial of service attack against Congress in the history of the US. He urged people to contact their Congress members and Congressional websites are crashing.

And the NFL lockout ended.

Politicians represent people. In a ratio to how much money they represent. More 12 years single malt.

 

[Evo]

Rofl. Is there anything that enough beer can't solve? At least for the next 6 months.

It solved the NFL lockout. Both sides decided they couldn't afford to go without the money beer companies pay for commercials.

[Proton Soup]

beer is not cost-effective. i think i may go buy a bottle of two-buck chuck, or one of those newfangled wineskins in the cardboard box.

I have to agree in principle to every point of Obama's speech (a rarity, since there are few politicians that I can fall in line with). We need to get our financial house in order ASAP, so that we don't end up paying more interest (thanks to a lower bond rating). We also need a solution that doesn't put us right back here a few months down the road.

We can't allow party politics to jerk us around and threaten our economy every few months. Small businesses and young people trying to enter the job market are going to get killed if the GOP wants to keep playing such games for political ends. I don't think the high mucky-mucks of their party care who gets hurt, but I do.

Sorry!

Your glasses, and my glass coincided there for a moment, in a cosmic, ... hic!.

Ok. Time for bed. :zzz:

Boehner and Obama could have cut a $4 trillion debt reduction deal. The problem lies with the new tea partiers in Congress. Of course Obama said that. If you want to read the short version of Obama's speech, just read my posts over the last week in the 14th amendment thread.

Boehner can't control his wild pack. So now, because of the tea party, instead of real progress, we will probably get a meaningless kick of the can at best.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Excuse my frustration. I'm from the radical middle.
