2. Wow! He's not right...
His whole demeanor is... odd. Certainly not sober. Possibly on the hillbilly heroin?

27. Exactly, it will be nothing more than a tax shelter
for rich people that don't need a job.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

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.

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