But, but, Obama!?

Barry the liar.

And, of course, the big wigs will get bonuses to congratulate themselves on "streamlining their operations"....

Owens supports the stimulus plan, but said it would take some time to have an impact on his industry and "is a little light on the heavy construction."

Take some time ? F*ck it then, I want immediate satisfaction or else we can just forget the whole thing and just see what happens.

SpeshilEdjukashin: And, of course, this will go red.

/How dare anyone question The One!

Shoot yourself.

SpeshilEdjukashin: And, of course, this will go red.

/How dare anyone question The One!

Jeez, want some cheese with that whine?

I find it hard to believe that Obama would make that kind of specific statement without first running it by the CEO. This sounds sketchy to me.

But the cool kids in the He Man Real Conservatives club were going to let him sit at their lunch table after he said "the One" and showed how clever he was.... Awwwwww.

I'm not sure you could have a worse first month of your Presidency than the pathetic demonstration on display now.

You must be so proud of yourself, I wish we could hang out so I could bask in your incredible awesomeness.

Subby "accidentally" omitted a very important part of the quote^:

"Today, the chairman and CEO of Caterpillar said that if the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan passes, his company would be able to rehire some of those employees."

In other words Owens made the statement that you just attributed to Obama.

Later, Owens said: "we're going to have more layoffs before we start hiring again"

That's because the stimulus isn't going to magically go back in time six months and undo the ripple effects that are hitting Caterpillar now.

Dumbass.

What's truly amazing is that the very same people who predicted this horrible, horrible national nightmare are now here objectively and honestly showing us how they were right... despite the accidental omission of certain elements of the story.

truly inspiring.

Ima10urin8: I'm not sure you could have a worse first month of your Presidency than the pathetic demonstration on display now.

I could say that I'm not sure how much more deluded with right-wing ideological ass-hattery you could be but I've been to Freeper Land and seen how much more deluded a person can be.

Ah, I heard what Obama said and what he said was that if the bill passes an they [Caterpillar] get more business, perhaps they can hire some of the laid off employees back.


That's quite different than what is being said in the article.

If sales are down, hiring people when you have no work for them would be a waste of money, both theirs and the taxpayers.

You mean it has been a whole day and the economic and unemployment problem hasn't been completely fixed?

The video doesn't quite look that way.

thanks for that objective analysis of the situation

you know, between you and speshial, I'm not sure TF can handle more objective analysis of reality. we should probably hold off the rest of the night.

Does it make you feel special to root for our country and our economy to fail? It kind of feels that way. I think that a moment or two of introspection would not be badly spent.

bulldg4life


dont let the door hit you.......

SpeshilEdjukashin: And, of course, this will go red.

I'm shocked that you were completely wrong about something.

Shocked and awed.

You know, as a troll, shouldn't you have a day or two every month where you make a positive point or some reasonably logical statement just to keep the laughter down?

will post to Politics on Thu, 12 Feb 2009 at 9:52 PM

thanks for the greenlight

Ima10urin8: dont let the door hit you.......

You too.

I believe it would really improve your trolling if you turned it down to a 7 every few days. I mean, otherwise, you're just going to be labeled a bitter partisan hack troll that never makes a comprehensible point. Ever.

We wouldn't want that.

Ima10urin8: thanks for the greenlight

God bless the child that's got his own. Congratulations. I'm confident that you're very proud of yourself.

SpeshilEdjukashin: And, of course, this will go red.

/How dare anyone question The One!

So let me get this straight:

The President of Catapillar misspoke or lied about the reality of the company's situation. President Obama relayed that message to the public. The President of Catapillar then clarifies what he meant, or corrects himself; and Obama is supposed to take the hit?

Death in a fire would be more than you should ask for trolls.

So the Obama bashers have resorted to making stuff up? Say it isn't so, Joe!

Ima10urin8: I'm not sure you could have a worse first month of your Presidency than the pathetic demonstration on display now.

You could go on a long vacation.

You could let your VP hold a secret energy meeting and refuse to let anyone know who attended the meeting or what you talked about.

See don't you dare qusetion the One. He never lies.

There is no pork in the stimulus.
I will not have lobbists in my administration.

Ima10urin8: I'm not sure you could have a worse first month of your Presidency than the pathetic demonstration on display now.

You could have Vince Foster whacked.
You could let your wife fire everyone in the travel office.

Come on you can do a better job - although I did go a bit longer than the first month.

But Obama told him to say those things, so it's all Obama's fault.

No, really, it is.

Just nod and let them live in their little butt-hurt fantasy land.

feckingmorons: You could have Vince Foster whacked.

I like this, let's go with talking about people getting killed.
You started, but I'll give you a few thousand more free turns just to be nice, go ahead.

Please Obama's error was a simple human error. It gives him the opportunity to apologize again this week.

Simple errors, like not paying all your taxes for several years like Geithner or Rangel or Solis.

Simple errors like saying no pork in the stimulus.

Too bad I am a participant in this rather than a participant.

By the way:

Headline + "change you can believe in" = tons of people wharrgarbling, increased page hits for Drew, likely green light.

Oh, we're making stuff up now?

You could make all the DoJ lawyers take homeopathic cancer remedies made from cats!

Yep and that meeting resulted in a trillion dollar rape of taxpayers. Oh wait that is the Obama 'Stimulate America Tour' Stimulus.

You know a piece of legislation sucks when they need the One to go on tour to sell it to union members.

feckingmorons: You know a piece of legislation sucks when they need the One to go on tour to sell it to union members.

Yeah, it sucks SO MUCH that it got past the feeble Republican filibuster. It sucks so much that it is supported by over 60% of the American people. it sucks so much that you are upping your heart meds.


Oh sorry, that last one is because the Republican party sucks.

MorrisBird: Does it make you feel special to root for our country and our economy to fail? It kind of feels that way. I think that a moment or two of introspection would not be badly spent.

You mean like the One and Pelosi and Reid do on a regular basis.

Truthfully, the economy is not great, but we are all (well all not elected to anything) pushing in our own way to make things better. If people keep saying things are terrible and this is a catastrophe, it will become one.

If people at work keep telling you that you look like crap soon you will feel like crap.

Why are they hiding the stimulus bill? Why is it not on the web as they promised. What crap do they have hidden in it they don't want us to see.

feckingmorons: Truthfully, the economy is not great, but we are all (well all not elected to anything) pushing in our own way to make things better. If people keep saying things are terrible and this is a catastrophe, it will become one.

Um...not saying it isn't going to make it magically better. You actually have to, you know, do stuff.

What 60 percent are you talking to? Do you live in Brentwood?

Do stuff is not spend one trillion dollars on crap like dog parks and doorbells retrofitting for government housing for the poor.

Do stuff is not throw good money after bad.

Do stuff is like, work, produce, and contribute to the GDP.

There are jobs, I see signs every day, but some people just don't want to work at MickeyD's or the car wash even temporarily. They want to suck at the government teat because that is what they feel entitled to, or because they have been their entire life.

feckingmorons: What 60 percent are you talking to? Do you live in Brentwood?

No, I live in the reality-based community. A place I like to call "blue-sky" world. What color is the sky in yours?

feckingmorons: See don't you dare qusetion the One. He never lies.

Obama: "Today, the chairman and CEO of Caterpillar said that if the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan passes, his company would be able to rehire some of those employees." (chicago sun-times)^

Owen: "we're going to have more layoffs before we start hiring again" (tfa)^

You and your fellow morons: "ZOMG! This obviously means that Owen will never rehire anyone! Evar!"

Me: "Dumbass"

feckingmorons: Do stuff is not spend one trillion dollars on crap like dog parks and doorbells retrofitting for government housing for the poor.

Exhibit A from the reality-based community: there is language in the bill that specifically prohibits funds from being used in parks (remember the Sean Hannity frisbee park thing? yeah, he was lying).

STOP PAYMENT ON THE CHECK....NOW!

feckingmorons: Yep and that meeting resulted in a trillion dollar rape of taxpayers.

Gas at $4 a gallon? Record profits for the oil companies for years?

Yeah, I think you are correct in that estimation.

cameroncrazy1984: feckingmorons: What 60 percent are you talking to? Do you live in Brentwood?

Grey and threatening to tax me to pay for a trillon dollar catastrophe that will make my medical records electronic and maintained by the same government that runs the IRS even the people in charge of it can't understand - ask Tim and Charlie.

clearly obama has given a self serving summary of how the bill will affect hiring, but it will create jobs. and on balance, obama has been very forthright about how this is a long term problem.
