“I love those folks who helped get us in this mess and now say, ‘This is Obama’s economy.’… That’s fine. Give it to me … So I welcome the job. My job is to solve problems. Not to stand on the sidelines and carp and gripe.”
***
“‘So there’s no bailout plan for the National League?’ Buck asked, laughing.
‘No,’ said the president, ‘we’re out of money.’”

This means that we can stop hearing about “the last eight years,” right?
TouchingTophet on July 14, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Carper & griper carps & gripes about carpers & gripers.
jgapinoy on July 14, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Where are the jobs?
elduende on July 14, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Out of money indeed
blatantblue on July 14, 2009 at 10:34 PM
If his job is to solve the problems, why does he keep creating more of them?
myrenovations on July 14, 2009 at 10:35 PM
STFU, you piece of crap. God I hate that man.
(Allah, i hope you are watching The History Channel. Cyborgs are here…fascinating stufff!)
SouthernGent on July 14, 2009 at 10:36 PM
His plans run deep, and if taking the blame helps him move along, he will do that too.
-
SPEND ALL THE MONEY! Not some, not most, but all the money! For as far into the future as he can get away with. And once it’s ALL spent, he has done his job.
RalphyBoy on July 14, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Well if we are out of money how the hell are we going to pay for crap and tax and free health care for all. Not to mention the 12 billion dollars in grants for people to get associate degree’s for all the new jobs the stimulus is supposed to save or create. Ugh this just makes me sick. It’s like waiting for the bottom to fall out from underneath you so you can go crashing down.
Brat4life on July 14, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Seriously, you can’t make this shit up.
frode on July 14, 2009 at 10:37 PM
Newsbusters reports perky Katie, Brian, Charles, everybody including the View gals probably have signed up for a whirlwind Obamathon next week for “healthcare”. God help us. Actually saw him say we’re in a recession because this hasn’t passed yet.
Marcus on July 14, 2009 at 10:37 PM
This ticks me off… he sold a gazillion dollar stimulus on the PROMISE of a peak of 8.8% and the end of the recession by year’s end. The BBC declared the recession over… and now he pretends that the problem isn’t his.
Bastard.
mankai on July 14, 2009 at 10:37 PM
The last 3 months have shown a sharp increase in carpers and gripers
bestwins on July 14, 2009 at 10:37 PM
8.8% unemployment, that is.
mankai on July 14, 2009 at 10:38 PM
But at least dakine is happy……….
……… that is all that truly matters.
Seven Percent Solution on July 14, 2009 at 10:38 PM
What problem has this clown act solved since taking office, other than Democrat donors with insufficient taxpayer dollars?
The only success this guy has had (other than continuing Bush era military policies) has been shoveling our money to his buddies.
NoDonkey on July 14, 2009 at 10:39 PM
Um, we did give it to you on 1/20. So far, I’m
unimpressedhorrified by your performance. Try to improve, MMKay?cs89 on July 14, 2009 at 10:39 PM
National “Carpers and Gripers” rate now stands at 9.4%
bestwins on July 14, 2009 at 10:40 PM
Uh oh. He’s speaking about himself in the third person. That’s not a good sign. A normal person would say, “… and now say that this is my economy.”
progressoverpeace on July 14, 2009 at 10:40 PM
Obama gripes all the time. “Previous administration this, Bush that, Cheney this, etc.”
If it was such a huge problem, why the hell did he run for president?
Rush’s adjective for Obama is correct, he is a “man-child.”
He is breaking this country economically and constitutionally.
jencab on July 14, 2009 at 10:41 PM

blatantblue on July 14, 2009 at 10:41 PM
“
A cavalier response from a complete moron.
This isn’t going to end well for him.
sherry on July 14, 2009 at 10:42 PM
Barry is a silly, silly, man. He cannot manage the economy. He could not manage a fart after a baked bean dinner.
DeweyWins on July 14, 2009 at 10:42 PM
Wasn’t there a Seinfeld episode about that?
sherry on July 14, 2009 at 10:43 PM
I think he’s going to have a nervoud breakdown. Dana Perino said it best on Hannity: America doesn’t change as quickly as politicians would like.
SouthernGent on July 14, 2009 at 10:43 PM
But at least dakine is happy……….
……… that is all that truly matters.
Seven Percent Solution on July 14, 2009 at 10:38 PM
I don’t think that dude would be happy even if he was martyred and had 72 virgins.
txag92 on July 14, 2009 at 10:43 PM
I guess we can put stimulus 2 on the Amex.
jharada on July 14, 2009 at 10:44 PM
…but not out of wealth. Hold on to your 401k’s, HSA’s, CDs, and money market accounts. Obuttmunch is about to redistribute them.
Laura in Maryland on July 14, 2009 at 10:44 PM
Probably, but I never watched the show.
There’s a long history of weird fictional characters who spoke of themselves in the third person … but none of them had the nuclear football being carried around with them.
progressoverpeace on July 14, 2009 at 10:44 PM
Oh I see. I got us into this mess because I worked hard, payed my outrageous taxes (most of them for stupid crap I disagree with), paid my mortgage on time and had perfect credit.
Go to hell you a-hole. You don’t want the job, quit. Stop whining about being criticized. And by the way, you’re supposed to be the president of the US, not the president of the people who agree with you.
NoDonkey on July 14, 2009 at 10:44 PM
Ah, well. As they say, pride goes before the fall. If the recession lasts through Christmas, he’s finished. Personally, I don’t think he’ll make it through the Fall.
John the Libertarian on July 14, 2009 at 10:44 PM
At the rate we’re going
I’m going to move off the grid
Live with a beautiful Mexican Bonita in Baja
drink Cuervo everyday
and watch obarfio screw things up
blatantblue on July 14, 2009 at 10:46 PM
I think I might have a nomination for a theme song for what we are going through……..
………… let me know.
Seven Percent Solution on July 14, 2009 at 10:46 PM
Yeah, but can we stop Cap and Trade and Health Care junk before that?
bestwins on July 14, 2009 at 10:47 PM
Perhaps you and congress should start acting like we are out of money Mr. President.
boomer on July 14, 2009 at 10:47 PM
Dana gets me all squishy inside, like I’m 17 and Hot For Teacher.
John the Libertarian on July 14, 2009 at 10:47 PM
Inconceivable!!!!!
Wolftech on July 14, 2009 at 10:48 PM
How does Obama cure Obama’s economy? ObamaCare.
Marcus on July 14, 2009 at 10:48 PM
The Precedent prefers to threaten and extort. “I’m the only one standing between you and the pitchforks.” “Pass the Porkulus right now or we’ll all die” [paraphrased, but true to meaning]
progressoverpeace on July 14, 2009 at 10:48 PM
I think Crap n’ Trade is dead. And Obamacare, too. Did you see Crowder’s expose on Canadian healthcare? Playing on Big Hollywood. Sends chills up the spine.
John the Libertarian on July 14, 2009 at 10:49 PM
I have a great idea
I’m going to spend all of my money on lapdances
But then I’ll buy a laptop with a credit card
and then when I have no money to pay
I’ll just say I’m out of money
and everything will be okay
they will understand I’m simply out of money
blatantblue on July 14, 2009 at 10:49 PM
They aren’t getting mine. I cashed mine in before the big crash. suckers!
boomer on July 14, 2009 at 10:49 PM
She is pretty and smart. A lethal combination.
SouthernGent on July 14, 2009 at 10:49 PM
I can only hope as Southern Gent says that he has a nervous breakdown and will be unable to unlock the codes due to the constraints of the straitjacket.
sherry on July 14, 2009 at 10:49 PM
my friend’s uncle carried around the football under bush
felt safe then
:P
blatantblue on July 14, 2009 at 10:50 PM
Hmmmm. That sounds like carping and griping.
But … you just …
progressoverpeace on July 14, 2009 at 10:50 PM
now?
aahhh
in the words of borat
not sooo maaach
blatantblue on July 14, 2009 at 10:50 PM
He’d crap his pants.
thomasaur on July 14, 2009 at 10:51 PM
Cool! Then my tax money can buy your house, your can rent it from Obama (with ACORN as your property manager), and trash the joint with weekly parties.
WashJeff on July 14, 2009 at 10:51 PM
Bad news…Mexico will become the 57th state, alcohol will be abolished under obamacare, and hetero relationships will be outlawed as hate crimes.
But the good news is you’ll have plenty of cougars to hang out with in the camps.
Laura in Maryland on July 14, 2009 at 10:51 PM
:)
Laura in Maryland on July 14, 2009 at 10:54 PM
thanks sooo much
I’m so glad people are here willing to pay for what I refuse to work for
plenty now, I’ll go into overload then
blatantblue on July 14, 2009 at 10:55 PM
If he’s accepting the economic problems, why do I keep hearing him whine about inheriting it?
Enoxo on July 14, 2009 at 10:55 PM
Obama’s idea of rebooting the economy is taking a bucket of water from the deep end of the pool and pouring it in the shallow part, thinking that’ll make the water rise.
And he does it over and over and over again, the diligent little socialist.
John the Libertarian on July 14, 2009 at 10:55 PM
Remember that, you moron? Your entire spiel was that we need to spend a jillion dollars to keep and create jobs, now you’re spinning it that you never intended any of that.
I just hope when Ogabe is dragged from office that it’s well televised.
Bishop on July 14, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Without the teleprompters, he’s a confirmed schizophrenic.
sherry on July 14, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Using the first-person plural (the “Royal We”) and the third-person. An ego so large that he is, like the very Trinity Himself, simultaneously one and many.
Ugh.
Fallen Sparrow on July 14, 2009 at 10:58 PM
I’m sorry there is no possible way to describe my indignagtion at this person’s comments and interest in destroying our country…YES, aren’t you listening for God’s sake????????? What has to happen for the world to come awake annd say: WOW, this guy is really doing it…. he is making our USA a second class country and he is making us into a massive bunch of folks that he has NO NONE respect for. He doesn’t even respect his own fellow citizens. Please dear Lord, let us be free from this horrible leader. Amen…
highninside on July 14, 2009 at 10:59 PM
Not America’s first suicide bomber, but perhaps the most effective one yet…
I’ll postulate Bama doesn’t care about 2012. If he does what he is told, reversing the damage will take a generation. In the meantime, he will send his frau to London for shopping, sign a memoirs contract and make millions from it. Continue on the Utter Failure Tour with Kofi, Jimmah and the rest of those Marxist elders.
I have to say, for the complete misunderstanding of what makes people happy, Marx sure has provided a blueprint to convince the stupid/greedy what to do. There is an evil genius to the man one cannot deny.
I visited his birthplace in Germany. I wanted to spit on it so badly, but held the impulse in check. Now I wish I had.
Evil is.
Harry Schell on July 14, 2009 at 10:59 PM
Ditto.
Daggett on July 14, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Oh, that’s right, Hussein was a no-show Senator!
Check-out the donks from the last 2 1/2 years.
christene on July 14, 2009 at 11:00 PM
That’s not true. The Precedent loves Indonesians.
progressoverpeace on July 14, 2009 at 11:01 PM
I don’t know if any of you noticed the KIA commercial. They are the first to come out (that I know of) sticking their hand out for your $4,500 clunker check. Had a good laugh at that, watching a foreign company reaching into Barry’s magic stimulus pot.
Limerick on July 14, 2009 at 11:02 PM
“No more spending, I mean it!”
“Anybody want a peanut?”
Fallen Sparrow on July 14, 2009 at 11:03 PM
Hey Harry Schell
Dude, I’m your man….. I want us to learn what we should have learned lo those many years ago and not stepped into this horror. YET, dear Harry, we are literally moving into this pile as we speak….. It is unimaginable to me….. what must we do to convicne that there is evil there and there are people out there that are evil…..i’ll wait.
highninside on July 14, 2009 at 11:03 PM
Exactly. Translation of what he said:
NONE of it is my fault, but since you’re whining, I’ll pretend to take responsibility, even though I inherited it all and none of it is my fault. Did I mention that it’s their fault and not mine?
Daggett on July 14, 2009 at 11:03 PM
Ummmmm. Mr. President, you should’ve welcomed the job back in January when you were inaugurated. If you’re looking around at an economic mess…you made it. Are we going to have to endure the “hey I’ll welcome the job” crap two years into your presidency? When are you going to be a big boy? Or are you just going to play “grown-up” with you toy brief case.
Weight of Glory on July 14, 2009 at 11:04 PM
Obama should quit his job as a show of solidarity with regular Americans losing their jobs.
Or just because he really sucks at his job. Either one works just fine for me.
thevastlane on July 14, 2009 at 11:05 PM
“worse recession since the GReat Depression…blah blah blah…Great Depression”
all this talk about the Great Depression, and these geniuses at the helm cough up data suggesting that unemployment would reach normal good economic times in Europe levels.
bloghooligan on July 14, 2009 at 11:05 PM
Go Daggett, I am not sure what you said but I will quickly say to you PHUCA thou… because you have chosen,,,, prior to knowing what you are talking about to say that all others a fos. So sorry dude. you are fos. try to temper your filth and accusations. NO, the entire world did not and I am an example…. YES for God sake I have guilt … do you not understand… I have some guilt …. I was just born in 42 and I cannot believe the horror of people. Please tell me if you can how can God forgive us as we are all eqaual to the same sins to NOT go there????????????/ makes me sick…. any ideas?
highninside on July 14, 2009 at 11:07 PM
I’m just going to start linking everything to the Great Depression now:
blatantblue on July 14, 2009 at 11:07 PM
I despise this Marxist tool, but…to be fair…he did give the go-ahead for those magnificent SEALS to take the head-shots on his Somali pirate co-religionists.
guntotinglibertarian on July 14, 2009 at 11:08 PM
Lolz. It’s All About Obama — all the time.
bitsy on July 14, 2009 at 11:08 PM
Yes. The ‘Jimmy” episode. Barry playing Jimmy:
“Barry is in charge of the economy.
Barry thinks the state of the economy isn’t his fault.
Barry doesn’t like carpers and gripers.
Barry and carpers and gripers….kinda clash!”
Fed45 on July 14, 2009 at 11:08 PM
I think it’s funny that both AP and Mr. Tapper snarked about the President’s jeans.
Cindy Munford on July 14, 2009 at 11:09 PM
I have no doubt that he was pressured by advisers that something had to be done before that boat made it to shore and it became an untenable hostage issue.
Bishop on July 14, 2009 at 11:11 PM
Obama says:
This is the worst economy since the great depression… hey kids! let’s go get ice cream and prosecute dick cheney!
bitsy on July 14, 2009 at 11:12 PM
He laughed: “We’re out of money.”

franksalterego on July 14, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Nissan had one up online a couple of weeks ago, too.
What a stupid, feel-good law. Typical of our Congress. People who drive cars worth less than $4,500 are now going to flood the show-rooms to buy $30,000 fuel-efficient vehicles?
“Oh, gee, Mr. Jiminez, I’m sorry, but…um…our finance department turned down your application. Nice rubber dice, by the way.”
guntotinglibertarian on July 14, 2009 at 11:14 PM
How due-process of you. Obammy and Holder don’t need no stinkin’ “prosecution”.
What the hell do you think re-education camps are for?
guntotinglibertarian on July 14, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Straight men do not notice shoes…sorry.
SouthernGent on July 14, 2009 at 11:16 PM
leave kia aloooone! :P
I have one
its pretty good
i call it the Rollerskate
blatantblue on July 14, 2009 at 11:16 PM
He has exquisite taste in lacy thongs, too. Just ask Hugo Chavez.
guntotinglibertarian on July 14, 2009 at 11:17 PM
And, of course, he threw it like a sissy. Right on cue.
I seem to recall that Bush knew how to throw a baseball, too. Lots of things Bush knew how to do that NancyBoy can’t even fake.
Jaibones on July 14, 2009 at 11:17 PM
No doubt. But I was still amazed that he made the call – I didn’t know you could poll that fast.
guntotinglibertarian on July 14, 2009 at 11:18 PM
Did anyone from Pravda ask Barry who, pray tell, he is talking about here? Doesn’t matter; it’s probably just that straw man he has propped up in the rose garden.
Jaibones on July 14, 2009 at 11:20 PM
I really miss the Bush economy.
coldwarrior on July 14, 2009 at 11:21 PM
…but it was the worst economy since the Hoover Administration…..

thomasaur on July 14, 2009 at 11:24 PM
That sniper plan had to have been in place since the beginning, whether or not the final decision was made to shoot.
Ogabe must have struggled mightily.
Bishop on July 14, 2009 at 11:25 PM
Vomit.
I’ll NEVER read Neyer again.
mankai on July 14, 2009 at 11:26 PM
This is the worst website since the Great Depression!!
blatantblue on July 14, 2009 at 11:26 PM
no..the last eight MONTHS have really put that to shame.
Fighton03 on July 14, 2009 at 11:27 PM
Ugh…guy needs to buy himself a nice miniskirt and get his package lopped off.
Bishop on July 14, 2009 at 11:28 PM
I remember FDR going on Hot Air to reassure the voters in his fireside blogs…

Excellent work. :)
mankai on July 14, 2009 at 11:30 PM
Actually, as Joe Biden reminds us, FDR went onto YouTube.
guntotinglibertarian on July 14, 2009 at 11:30 PM
His pride will be his ultimate downfall.
mankai on July 14, 2009 at 11:30 PM
Those were the days
Remember when AP would read War of the Worlds to us
blatantblue on July 14, 2009 at 11:30 PM
