So, President Notmypresident is apparently yakking on all the networks. Even if I watched TV and had a digital converter box, which I don’t, I have no interest in watching a talking head read words someone else wrote about a topic that is likely to piss me off anyway. But I’m not going to let that stop me from guessing what he’s going to say.
* The economy is in terrible shape, the worst in living memory. (I think he’ll stop short of proclaiming this the worst ever.)
* Only government action can save us, because…
* Greedy, short-sighted business got us into this mess in the first place.
* We’ll all have to tighten our belts and do our fair share. (Left unstated will be the fact that government employees will “tighten their belts” by letting them out only one notch, not two.)
* We’ve got a tough road ahead but we’ll pull through because we’re the greatest nation in the world.
* God Bless America.
Anyone who watched this care to grade my efforts?

“We are going through the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression,” he said.
“Only the federal government can break the “vicious cycle” gripping the U.S. economy,” he said.
“What got us into this mess initially were banks taking exorbitant, wild risks with other people’s monies based on shaky assets and because of the enormous leverage, where they had one dollar’s worth of assets and they were betting thirty dollars on that one dollar, what we had was a crisis in the financial system.”
“After a day of speaking with and listening to the fundamentally decent men and women who call this nation home, I have full faith and confidence that we can do it, but we’re going to have to work together. ”
“When it comes to how we approach the issue of fiscal responsibility, again, it’s a little hard for me to take criticism from folks about this recovery package after they’ve presided over a doubling of the national debt. I’m not sure they have a lot of credibility when it comes to fiscal responsibility.” [He’s got that right - thanks, GWB and the GOP, you assholes!]
On the whole, Steve, pretty good.
Guess they should have tripled it, since the Won intends to do just that. I’m amazed that these morons can rail on and on about the national debt and then proclaim the “fix” is to increase it even more.
What a bunch of morons we’ve become.
No “God Bless America”.
That’s because, while Obama believes in God, he doesn’t believe in America.
He doesn’t believe in God, either. He’s a fucking Communist.
I’m disappointed with my prediction. Totally blew “blame the Republicans”, which should have been 100% foreseeable. Don’t feel too bad about the God Bless America part, as the Prez leaving that out is a major break with tradition.
