Obama's Speech - comments

[rdean]

You mean the same ones who jacked up food prices pushing ethanol?
Oops, that was the Democrats, wasn't it?

link?

Actually, without seeing a link, I think he may be right about that part.

Not to say that makes him any less of a rightwingnut asswipe, mind you....

According to Grassley, several factors -- including countries like Argentina and the Ukraine putting export taxes on grain -- have contributed to the rising cost of food. "You've got a 100-year record drought in Australia. No production of wheat last year. They're our major exporter of wheat. That's contributing to the increased price of bread today. You've got oil spiking up. Every time a German worker is kidnapped in Nigeria or a pipeline is blown up in Nigeria, you read about it in our business pages, increasing the price of energy or [Hugo] Chavez saying he's not exporting to our country," Grassley contends.

Grassley believes people who blame the ethanol industry for rising food prices have a "misunderstanding of agriculture." He estimates that a farmer gets only about five cents for every $5 box of corn flakes.

The Prez already talked about building more nuclear plants and building more offshore rigs and here he is complaining about them not being built.

 

[EriktheRed]

He don't quit yall!!! He don't quit!!! which seems to say...get ready for more of the same!!! It's coming yall...

Well, with any luck, certain things will actually get accomplished as a result of him not quitting.

Marxism will not overcome the will of the American people.

Liberalism is a fucking mental disorder! History shows it!

Btw, were you one of those who once said the American people would never elect a Prez like Obama, too?

 

[rdean]

It means lowering energy cost and cuttign taxes HOLY CRAP he said building nuclear power????

He's a POD!!!

Republicans don't build nuclear power plants. For one, they don't have enough education. To build nuclear power plants, you need engineers, physicists and science. All things Republicans abhor and mock as "elitist".

 

[txlonghorn]

I am signing off.

Either we work with the Dems, my fellow GOPers, or we will be in the minority.

BHO kicked out butts in the eys of America. I thought McConnell was going to weep when BHO called him out by inferrences for being an obstructionist. Good.

repubs have been trying to work across the lines...but they keep getting left out of closed door meetings...how the hell are WE (not sure if you fit in here) supposed to have faith in that system?

Which Republicans closed the door?

The "we want him to fail" Republicains?

The "This will be his Waterloo" Republicans?

The "We are only pretending to go along so we can sink the bill" Republicans?

The "He's not a citizen" Republicans?

The "He's a Nazi/Socialist/Marxist" Republicans?

The "Let's start a bipartisan commission and then vote against our own commision" Republicans?

Which Republicans are you talking about?

Ummm....what fucking planet are you on? PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA HELD SEVERAL CLOSED DOOR MEETINGS WITH DEMOCRATS CONCERNING HCR.

HE CLOSED THE DOOR...and when he did, America began electing republicans to replace democrats....

It's beautifully poetic really

 

[rdean]

Look at the Republicans. It's like they tried to duplicate Obama and the congressional setting. Do they think they are a "shadow government"?

And the excuse for not helping "Haiti"? Pathetic.

everything you said is common knowledge yet our leaders vote to use a product that is under produced to help the economy...shouldn't they have voted to plant more corn on us soil?....

 

[WillowTree]

Any bets on when that first nuclear reactor gets under construction?

after we have a secure means of transporting the waste???

France managed.. You saying America cannot?

 

[JimH52]

You know, it is very seldom that you see a member of congress withhold applause. For one entire party to refuse to applaud in unison is incredible. I hope the Democrats remember this when a republican occupies the Oval Office.

Pretty classy for the GOP to illustrate their dedication to bi-partisan ship. Very Classy!

C'mon dean....you don't really want to hang your hat on this do you? Blaming republicans for dems shutting out ANY interaction? You're not the glib....I refuse to believe it. If you are, then you should consider that the world smells and looks so much better when you keep your head on your shoulders and out of your ass.

The technology has changed. Their are all types of nuclear reactors. They aren't all like "Chernobly".

It's very apparent....actually, it's not memory loss, it's an inability to see it when it happened.

S&P 500 futures rose 5 points during the speech, or 0.7%, probably because the market was expecting a more anti-business tone.
