Here’s an article on what Wall Street would like him to say:
If it were up to Wall Street, the president would strike a less confrontational posture toward the finance industry than what they’ve seen lately. Many would prefer that he unveil only a modest jobs stimulus package in the 2011 budget. And, although many market commentators expect some kind of tax hike on capital gains and dividends, they think any tax hike is a bad idea while the economy still recovering from recession.
On the top of their wish list is a kinder, gentler tone.
Here’s a Newsweek bloggers guess. These are the section headers:
– MIDDLE –CLASS, MIDDLE BROW, MIDDLE WEST
– JOBS, JOBS, JOBS
– BANKSTERS
– FREEZE BREEZE
– HEALTH CARE RX
– MICHELLE AND LENNY
What would you like him to say? What should he say vs what will he say?
i want him to say: “as a war lord, i would like to return the nobel-peace-price! thanks very much but i don’t deserve it at all.”
Obama has a knack of taking no responsibility for any of his failures.
Something tells me he’s going to mention something along the lines of “the past 8 years” to wash his hands clean.
I’d like to see him deliver it in Ebonics.
//or gansta!
“the jokes on you. I ain’t even an American.”
I would love to hear him announce that we are closing 500 of our military bases around the world. I would like to hear him say that we are going to build the worlds best nation wide high speed rail line. I would like to hear him say that every high school graduate gets a free two year college education and that those who don’t want to go to college get free training in the trade of their choice. I would like to hear him say that everyone has the right tho get married. I would like to hear him say that no religious organization deserves public money for any reason. I would like to hear him say that all federal elections will be publicly funded and that there will be a 10 year term limit on both houses and the Supreme Court. Also that Fridays are casual day.
#38-Mark-I would like to hear him say that every high school graduate gets a free two year college education…
Sounds good, but you should know that you get the bill for the first 100 HS graduates?
And since you’re so generous… we’ll also toss in free books.
Wow! It is easy spending other people’s money.
#38 – Are you SURE you want casual friday?

Where are we going to get the money for that?
They can’t manage a railway that was already built!

Assuming somewhere in the Constitution that power exists:

that there will be a 10 year term limit on both houses and the Supreme Court.
Assuming somewhere in the Constitution that power exists, be careful what you wish for.
The rest I agree with (Casual Friday, of course, being in jest 🙂
What would I like him to say? The only fitting thing for him to say would be “Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!”
I want him to say he’s going to give certain Hobbits a grant for a five-tears study of nude beaches.
Who’s doing the GOP response?
Gah! five-year study
And maybe a side project to define the scope of the micro-brewery industry in the US.
#46, Why not play Obama bingo instead? http://tinyurl.com/48y3nz
Is it possible to play without listening to his speech?
The only possible uplifting thing he could say is “free hookers and blow in the lobby”.
OK,
how about this..
I AM FIRING ALL THE IDIOTS DOWN TO THE LAST ONE..
NO RETIREMENT, NOTHING..
we will rehire EVERYONE NEW.
or..
we are testing everyone for their abilities..
If they dont know the cubed square of a Rombus, as an economist, they WILL BE FIRED..

So you believe that Obama has screwed up the economy? I mean, do you seriously believe that? You must be either a retarded teabagger or just a troll.
I seem to remember Bush starting two wars and handing out 700 billion to the banks.
I think there is plenty to criticize about Obama but screwing up the economy isn’t one of them.

“…and you better know how to spell it, too!”
This job sucks, I quit!

More like the US economy was at the bottom of the Marianas trench, Obama after a year was unable to get it to float. Forget partisan ignorance, regardless of who wins the elections, the USA would be in the exact same situation. Politicians are clowns to distract the ignorant.
I’m going to enforce the usury laws, followed by repealing Sarbanes Oxley.
#51 — “either” ? Seems to me like BOTH.
…. in the morning!
I quit.
So help me that is what popped into my mind.
I have no interest in listening to him promise to do a lot things he already promised to do and did the opposite. I want to save 15 billion a year and spend another 80 billion plus is also a joke.
The only thing that matters now is actions because I don’t believe anything he says.
What he may say is different than what he’d like to say.
‘Yeah, I’m the Pres and it just pisses you as~holes off that I’m going to richer than you when I get booted out of office. Yeah, I’ve been making arrangements with my commie buddies to ensure my continued prosperity, just like Clinton, while I help the Red Chinese suck the life out of this country. I’m not getting even, because I’m a Muslim Commie at heart, I’m getting one up of you crackers. Finally, when I totally exported every job out of the country and made food so expensive that the Sudan will look like the garden of eve, I’ll be able to look you in face and say, It’s your own fault you should have brought tariffs into force. Yeah fools tariffs work, we outlawed the importation of handguns and certain rifles and the manufacture of those items moved to the US despite the cost of labor.’
‘I look forward to be the first black President to not only commit treason and dishonor my oath, but to actually get more Americans killed than any other previous President, all the while they are overseas protecting muslims that don’t want our presence or protection. Heck if I write the rules of engagement right, none of the honkers will be coming back.’ And you fools won’t even have the guts to impeach me, no more so than you could with Clinton for lying under oath or King George Bush of allowing the invasion of the US by Mexico and their suckling at the Welfare nipple.’
‘Finally I’d like to say just how disgusting it is that so many Americans are willing to serve Globalization by not controlling who comes into the country but instead of bowing down to having their own freedoms restricted and spied upon. All so that a bunch of muslim trash can come to America setup support groups for future terrorists and kill more US 2nd class citizens, you know the people that obey the law. Honestly, you disgust me, but if it wasn’t for so many brainwashed Democrat versus Republican followers none of this would be possible since anyone else with a brain would of voted in a Nationalist Third Party focused on the benefit of their country and not the welfare of the world’s trash. Really, you don’t see me giving my money away do you, hell no that for saps like you white racist bigots who are so brainwashed that you dont’ realize you’ve sold you child’s future down the toilet. All so you can say ‘I’m not prejudice’, ‘I have a minority friend, and I favor minorities instead of seeing everyone as an individual, so I’m not prejudice’.
Since President Hussein isn’t brainwashed and is smarter than most of the people he’s talking to, you won’t hear any of this. But either way here’s hoping for the truth.
Whatever……………………………
