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, “Yeah, I’m an Uncle Tom”.
Then he should lay out his plan for getting a lucrative job at Goldman Sachs after his presidency ends.
He can tell me that the FED will be at my house this afternoon to hand me MY BAILOUT,
or a job
or medicare
or extended unemployment
Or cash, you know, the shit he would do for me if I was a corporation.
He better mention the EFFIN’ Apple Tablet! 🙂
“I’m a douchebag, and I resign.”
“I have come to realize that I have no magic powers, no golden touch. I cannot speak without being told what to say, cannot act without being told what to do.
It has come to my reasoning that this job isn’t the ego-boost I though it would be, so as of this moment I am returning my Nobel Peace Prize to Norway and the Presidency to George Walker Bush, who did a better job than I.”
He should say…
“America needs a full-time President and a full-time Congress, particularly at this time with problems we face at home and abroad.
To continue to fight through the months ahead for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Congress in a period when our entire focus should be on the great issues of peace abroad and prosperity without inflation at home.
Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Biden will be sworn in as President at that hour.”
#7 “Vice President Biden will be sworn in as President at that hour”
I am no fan of Obama, but would swearing in an idiot be a better solution than having Obama serve 1089 more days, 2 hours, 33 minutes, and 10 more seconds? For the record I was against the impeachment of Clinton because an Al Gore Presidency scared the Bejesus out of me.
I think he should say:
“In the morning, go to noagendashow.com and donate so Adam Curry stops moaning.”
Explain to the American People How it will take more than 1yr to fix 12yrs of a Bush Run White House…
I want him to say
“look”, “Listen”, “let me be clear”, and “I inherited one of the worst economic situations this country has ever seen”
I would like to hear the following:
“We are pulling every American and piece of American equipment out of Iraq this week. Fuck em.”
“Same thing with Afghanistan. From now on, any country that screws with us will be bombed flat from the air. We are out of the nation building business.”
“Anyone soldier that served overseas can go to college for free and is eligible for a 0% mortgage.”
“Lets put the healthcare thing on the back burner until we get the economy straightened out.”
“The Cuba embargo is over because it has been stupid and useless. We will let McDonalds and Marriot invade Cuba for us.”
“The Border Patrol is being given enough money to hire 10,000 soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. These new agents will be deployed on the Mexican border to completely shut down illegal immigration from that country.”
“The number of work visas issued to Mexicans who apply legally will be tripled the first year and adjusted up or down each year based on need.”
He should say that the american people are idiots. Republicans and democrats have been and are gaming the system for their own self interest (mainly money).
Truth would be nice.
At the end, he could announce that he will be changing over to his true party and declare himself a republican.
I know what he WILL say: “the Country and Economy is Strong”.
And the press will RUN with it.
all bank presidents who’s banks fail will now be executed in the rose garden!
or Hotel Soap’s tag (from Dr. Tran l- look it up) “Everything is F*cking wonderfull!!!”
“I am going to give this speech without my teleprompter.”
Gag me.
“I lied.”
No, that’s too easy. They all lied.
I like #12’s “We are pulling every American and piece of American equipment out of Iraq this week. Fuck em.”
followed by
“If there is even a single terrorist act committed against the United States, we will respond by nuking the country responsible off the face of the earth.”
(The “country responsible” will be the country where the attackers were citizens. i.e Saudi for 9/11 attackers, etc. If the attacker is an American, we just nuke his hometown.)
I think he needs to be the fist politician in Washington to admit that the government cannot create jobs. Quit spending taxpayer money and stop promising things he cannot possible deliver on. Admit that the Stimulus was not done correctly and that he should have line item vetoed a lot of the crap in it. Let us know he concentrated too much on health care when the economy was still in ruins. Do I think this will happen? NO
How about,
“I resign because I’m no good at the job”
Quotable quotes do not a President make (especially when they are pinched from speeches made by others).
The rest of the world is getting fed up with the ‘I am a Berliner (which is sausage in Berlin, Germany by the way) type speech and is as fake as the original by Kennedy. ‘ISH’ is the pronounciation OUTSIDE Berlin; Berliners – true Berliners actually use ‘Ich’
Just so you know ehere my argument is coming from. A bit convoluted I know, but it wasn’t quotable quotes that made Churchill, Washington and the like what they were, it was ACTIONS, something we still wait for from Obama. But Hell! He made President, and I didn’t so what the hell do I know!
(still find him s highly ‘sus character though, no performance but big on the parade front. you know – all uniform, no medals).
What if he says, “I won’t give a speech today. I want to play with my new Apple tablet.
It would be nice if he would say, “look, we still have a democrat majority so let’s tell the republicans to go to hell and do what we want to do instead of trying to compromise with people who want to compromise.”
and “if these banks are ‘too big to fail’ then starting right now we are going to break them up”
and “starting right now no elected official will get paid”
and “sorry, nope, corporations aren’t people. they don’t have free speech rights.”
but in reality he will say nothing and the democrats will love it and the republicans will hate it. and I will be watching a dvd…
How about Obama says nothing and starts doing something!!!
Does it really matter what the Obamanation says in the State of the Union speech? It’s already a given that whatever the teleprompter tells him to say will be a lie.
I’m sick and tired of how this gov’t is running! I am getting screwed as a Small Business owner, taxes are killing me. To top that off I am getting penalized for claiming to much for expenses.
See how that works for Obama in 2010. The House hates the Senate bill and even Obama said that the Cornhusker payoff was wrong. That Cornhusker payoff affects my state because Iowa is 51st in Medicare reimbursements behind every other state and Puerto Rico. That means doctors in my state get paid less than every other state for each Medicare patient they treat. Then there was the compromise with the unions over the Cadillac health plan tax. There are favors being given out and that is not going to make for a good bill if some people are given special treatment and others are made to pay more.
“It would be nice if he would say, ‘look, we still have a democrat majority so let’s tell the republicans to go to hell and do what we want to do instead of trying to compromise with people who want to compromise.'”
No business is “too big to fail.” I say, “Let them fail.” A bunch of smaller banks who didn’t make those sub-prime loans can fill the spaces left behind by those fail monstrosities.
“if these banks are ‘too big to fail’ then starting right now we are going to break them up”
Elected officials should be paid what the people they represent make. Right now that is $39,509. Congresses annual salary is $155,100 per Senator or Representive. That would mean a paycut of $115,591. Let’s cut their pay. That would still save the tax payers a total of $61,841,185. Obama should be paid $1 then get a bonus only if he fixes things. (Like the bailed-out CEOs.) The bonus should then be taxed at 90%. (Like the bailed-out CEOs.)
“starting right now no elected official will get paid”
That will happen the same time the Kelo decision, Roe v Wade, and any other Supreme Court decision you disagree with gets overturned. I suppose Obama could have congress make a law that says there should be 15 justices on the Supreme Court. However, that didn’t work so well for the last President who tried it, since there is a Separation of Powers issue involved in that.
“sorry, nope, corporations aren’t people. they don’t have free speech rights.”
“A big shout out to all my toadies at Dvorak Uncensored!
Obama is so highly educated and has always talked about all the right things like “transparency in government”.
I’d describe my feelings towards him as “disillusioned”.
He hasn’t achieved any objectives that I can think of, added troops to Afghanistan, has left Gitmo open and spent $2 trillion on bank bailouts and stimulous and then went against his campaign statement he wouldn’t do government run health care or make it mandatory. He also said “government has a bad track record in private industry” and then essentially did the opposite and bought General Motors.
His only hope at this point is the fact that Clinton was a horrible president the first 2 years and a great president the last 6.
Both the Republicans and Democrats have been failures on the national level this last decade. Maybe it is time to strip down the federal government and return it back to the states.
Seriously.
Since Obama loves to apologize to other countries about how bad the USA is, how about his first statement “I’m sorry I screwed up the economy so bad” followed by “I’d don’t have a freaking clue what to do to solve the problem, and finish with “I quit”.
For once, we could say he was honest.
Then we can Joe Biden as the President.
The left would love it.
If you have nothing better to do (sad), a fun game to play while watching “the speech” is to count how many times Obama uses the word, “I”.
However, you might not want to make a drinking game out of it. With an ego as large as the Obamanation’s you run the risk of dying from alcohol poisoning.
I would like him to say the following,
“Fck you are and Fck everyone that has any doubt in me. I’m the fcking president and I will do my best to save your puny pathetic lives. To do so I’m going to do what the previous President Fck has done and take things into my own hands; not literally like the Clintons of cours. Therefore, starting now you people of sht will do as I say, follow me in whatever I do and bow to me when I require of it. I will do everything in my power with or without the Senate/Congress approval to fck all of you and everyone else I deemed a terror to this great fcking nation. Amen and Fck you all.”
whispers “CIA, I want that Beck and 90% of those Fox news ‘reporters’….kkklllllcccckkkk”
