ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT
TO THE JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS
United States Capitol
February 24, 2009
9:16 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Madam Speaker, Mr. Vice President, members of Congress, the First Lady of the United States — (applause) — she’s around here somewhere.

I have come here tonight not only to address the distinguished men and women in this great chamber, but to speak frankly and directly to the men and women who sent us here.

I know that for many Americans watching right now, the state of our economy is a concern that rises above all others. And rightly so. If you haven’t been personally affected by this recession, you probably know someone who has — a friend; a neighbor; a member of your family. You don’t need to hear another list of statistics to know that our economy is in crisis, because you live it every day. It’s the worry you wake up with and the source of sleepless nights. It’s the job you thought you’d retire from but now have lost; the business you built your dreams upon that’s now hanging by a thread; the college acceptance letter your child had to put back in the envelope. The impact of this recession is real, and it is everywhere.

Hmmmmm! Two weeks ago…….Now…..NOT SO BAD, GUYS. I was just FOOLIN’ YA…….SHIIIIIIIIIIIT.

I’m confused!

Dow up 4 days in a row!!!

WOO HOO Obama rocks.

I am 0.75% happier today than I was yesterday!
/sarc

*shudders*

WOO HOO Obama rocks.

Oh wait that’s after it was down 13/15 previous days.

Dow up over 7000!! WOO HOO!!

Oh wait it was at 9625 the day THE ONE was elected.

For those of you who can’t do math, like getabrain, that’s still down 25% since Nov. 4th. To put that in terms he can understand…you make $7.25 an hour. It would be as if Obama cut your pay to $5.43 an hour.

Plus this is nothing more than a bear market rally. Dow will be slogging it out between 6K and 7K for the rest of the year. It’s a classic sucker rally.

Dow closed +53.92

Pardon me while I hyperventilate about Obama’s awesomeness.

Get it together.

But…there’s really not going to be a change. Obama is all about image management.

He doesn’t really have a plan. Never did.

They both are.

Obama’s right if he resigns.

Specter is right if the idiot manages to con his way to staying in office.

Bush depression saved.

This guy is addressing problems in his first 50 days that have not been addreseed in the last 50 years.

Get out of his way and follow his leadership.

He is on a roll.

That is, he’s rolling the big doobies for his Wednesday night Bongfests.

getalife is obviously partakin’. Must be on the gubmint dole. Lucky duck…

If you want to take lessons for future actions from the past it often helps to define what you’re looking for before making assumptions.

{^_^}

You, um, might want to check that number again.

Down 45 right now.

Sucker’s rally, fake numbers, market manipulation. Don’t trust any of it.

getalife…you jest, of course.

Dow up again today.

getalife on March 13, 2009 at 10:23 AM

So is the sun. What’s your point?

You do understand the concept of bargain hunting,right?

Oh, wait. According to wasteofalife apparently when the dow is up, everything is solved and Barry’s plan is working. If it’s down it’s Bush’s fault and we need to give Barry a break.

Call me when the market makes up its losses inflicted on it by Barry. which will take years

Dow up again today.

President Obama says he’s looking at the big picture, not sweating the small stuff.
The stock market is story of like a tracking poll in politics. It bobs up and down day-to-day,“ Obama said. ”And if you spend all your time worrying about that, then you’re probably going to get the long-term strategy wrong.“

According to your savior, tracking the stock market is a waste of time.

Obama in March: The economy is getting better because we passed the stimulus bill. See what a good boy am I?

“And I am obviously an object of this constantly varying assessment. I am the object in chief of this varying assessment.”

Dude! Friggin’ get over yourself,already. Do the job we mistakenly hired you to do

Cinday Blackburn

Watch his slick “pants on fire” dance moves.

Recovery – Obama/Biden lose their jobs. I’m hoping for a speedy recovery!

Hope and change!–NoDonkey

Fire the incompetent.
Impeach the corrupt.
Either way,
it’s lose/lose for Obama
and win/win for America.

While gorging on executive orders impoverishing hard working citizens, Obama refuses to permit the bankruptcy of corruption in order to eliminate our resilient capacity to survive.

Let’s MAKE his campaign promised surgical removal of waste NOW!
