Quick! msnbc - * splainin'

[laruemtt]

why we're in deep doo-doo economically. this is a riot! he's drunk or in the middle of a breakdown!

[Ladyhawk]

1. It's a prelude to "cutting some of those programs."

[Cooley Hurd]

2. Wow! He's not right...

His whole demeanor is... odd. Certainly not sober. Possibly on the hillbilly heroin?

[Arugula Latte]

28. The boy ain't right in th' head

Got kicked by a mule back when he was a youngun.

Wait, he doesn't really have that excuse.

[sadiesworld]

3. The leader of the free world. God, how embarrassing.

[Cooley Hurd]

4. $3000 tax break for starter businesses...

...in other words: "Create yer own jobs!"

[Mountainman]

9. Hey Bush! You have to owe taxes before you get a tax break

If you don't have a job how you going to get a tax break?

[Brian Sweat]

27. Exactly, it will be nothing more than a tax shelter

for rich people that don't need a job.

[Avalux]

5. Everything eventually comes back to 9-11

and that's his campaign platform. Goal is to keep us emotionally tied to 9-11 and take absolutely no responsibility for his actions.

[sadiesworld]

6. He never gets cut off-they know he looks like an idiot.

[KC21304]

7. Did they stop the coverage or is he finished ?

LOL I know he is finished !

[Cooley Hurd]

11. He's on C-SPAN 1 now...

[nostamj]

8. "we ought to be selling things"

uh, george, we don't MAKE anything anymore!

[Mountainman]

10. Yeah, unemployed people have to sell things to eat!

[lovedems]

14. Didn't he say something to the effect "most of our exports go overseas"

or something stupid to that effect? We don't have anything to export overseas anymore!

[Doctor_J]

16. Backwards

"More and more of our imports come from overseas".

50 Million people voted for this oaf. How embarrassing.

[lovedems]

19. Thanks, I knew it was something totally assinine.

Well, since we don't make squat anymore in our own country, we won't be an exporting country anymore! "We need to be making things". Oaf indeed.

[hatrack]

21. Oh, come on! He couldn't have possibly said that!

"More and more of our imports come from overseas"? HAH!!

Then again, maybe he did. Incredible.

[peekaloo]

12. If only the major networks would interrupt broadcasts for his

speechifying, I truly believe the people of this country would have caught on a long time ago.

[sadiesworld]

13. I think the audience is unclear about when he is trying to make a joke and

when he is being serious. Oh God, not the death tax BS. I need to find something to add to my soda.

[Emboldened Chimp]

15. Wait, he's now saying the economy's doing badly?

no wonder the stock market plummeted...

[Doctor_J]

17. It was two days ago

that he said "I see signs all around the country of a recovery. Must've been a bad two days...

[Doctor_J]

18. This is the problem with him being a total imbecile

He doesn't have the vaguest idea of how an economy works - on any level. So whatever they tell him to read, he reads, even if it contradicts what he said last week. And he doesn't know the difference.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

25. He thinks he knows how the economy works

Remember when he stopped into that restaurant for a take out order of ribs? He attempted to give the reporters an "economics lesson". What an idiot. He must of thought he was talking to 1st graders.

[Bozita]

20. Get a graph of today's Dow Index - Match to the time of *'s speech

Market drops as he speaks.

Match it to the times of the posts in this thread.

This'd make for a good flash movie

[spinbaby]

22. It dropped like a rock!

[fluffyslayer]

23. Oddly Enough...

I had to add in the time increments between 9:30 and 4:00, so they're off a little bit, but...

[catzies]

24. Welcome to DU, fluffyslayer!

In the Latest Breaking News forum, we run a Daily Stock Market Watch thread, and we calls those "Piehole Alerts!"

"When Bush speaks live, markets take a dive!"

It goes back to at least last summer, when CNN and CNBC would show the ticker in the corner, and it would plummet as he spoke.

[fluffyslayer]

26. Thanks, catzies

Hee!

[Arugula Latte]

30. Or, how about

"When President Dumbass opens his piehole, financial markets go into a downward spiral." ... Hmm ... That one needs work. :shrug:

[Chovexani]

29. Ha!

Where's Symbolman when you need him? :)

I'm glad you guys can report on this 'cause just looking at Whistleass makes me want to throw things at the tv.
