Speechificator speechifying....

[Roland99]

Urging Congress to buy these bad assets. We're in an urgent situation. Consequences will grow worse each day if we don't act (yeah....futures are tanking...NOT)

[lib2DaBone]

1. He's blinking again...like he did on the "Mushroom Cloud speech"

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. Thought I heard him say the taxpayers would be paid back....?

Huh? What part of the bill as was written had that in it?

[Roland99]

3. sooner we act, sooner we can get back to job creation.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. He'll get back to doing something he hasn't done in 8 yrs? Job creation?

:rofl:

[HughBeaumont]

4. He sounds hung over.

This Do-Nothing King couldn't SPELL economics.

Hey, at least he didn't mispronounce Rosh Hashanah.

[Roland99]

5. Well, that was a whole lot of NOTHING!!

[adamuu]

8. That's it ? nothing about our deposits being secure, etc?

[Supersedeas]

17. the Chimperor is not much on specifics -- some nice vague innane script for morning joe

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. I guess the economy isn't *fundamentally sound* eh george?

How does he get away with this? :wtf:

[lib2DaBone]

7. $5 Trillion in worthless CDO's... how are they going to make money on these?

[girl gone mad]

14. 56 Trillion in CDS's..

that only .0000001% of the population can decipher and have been imploding left and right.

[spinbaby]

10. Wasn't he supposed to speak at 7:45?

That's what they said on the news last night. Maybe they had trouble getting him out of bed this morning.

[Roland99]

12. The kitchen was out of Fruity Pebbles and it took an hour to calm him down.

[adamuu]

11. Why does he address Congress ... if he's talking to us

why not tell US WTF we're supposed to do about it.

[jimshoes]

13. Someone really should be going to jail over this.

Packaging smoke and selling shares of it and then betting on whether it ever gets paid back.

[pleah]

15. Please, Oh, please bail out my rich friends.

:eyes:

[jtrockville]

16. I DO NOT want the bad debt.

I've lost (and gained) money in the stock market. When I took the risk, I knew not to gamble with money I could not afford to lose.

We can't afford to lose $700B dollars, and we shouldn't take this risk.

[rucky]

18. How presidential of him.

Now we've turned a corner - using fear to calm the markets.
