Obama to speak at 4:45 Eastern,

[alsame]

per MSNBC.

I hope there are NO concessions.

[lamp_shade]

1. I would venture to guess that he's pissed. This should be good.

[woodsprite]

2. Maybe he's going to announce we got the terrorists.

One can hope.

[flamingdem]

3. Good one

[Pretzel_Warrior]

7. lol

[JaneyVee]

4. CNN just called Florida for Al Gore.

[Agschmid]

13. CNN

Has two time locks up one showing the time at Capitol Hill and one with the time at the White House... Just in case you thought they we're deprecate time zones!

[yuiyoshida]

5. I would love to hear him say....

TO Republicans.... GO AHEAD, (In regards to the shutdown) MAKE MY DAY.

[Warren DeMontague]

6. I think he's going to call their fucking bluff. And good riddance.

These assholes are all set to do exactly what they did in 1995. Fucking geniuses. Hopefully they'll lose the House over it.

[Skraxx]

8. Massive Ass-Whooping INCOMING!!!

[HereSince1628]

9. This makes a difference to anyone who can make a difference?

I think not.

Give it your best shot Mr. President, just don't expect to much in return.

[Sunlei]

Have to edit because Pres. O didn't answer press questions. He told Congress to do their job again.

11. He should call them anti American. He should call them terrorists.

He should then let them know he has won and this is over. Grow up and do the people's business. otherwise, shut up.

[HereSince1628]

18. They are most certainly in rebellion against the Federal government.

It's really such open rebellion that it's beginning to look like the weeks before Sumter.

Considering the way internet shortens communications cycles we are getting damned clost to the brink of civil crisis

[Pretzel_Warrior]

20. maybe not that far.

[HereSince1628]

28. Oh, I think it's becoming more clear that outcome is the inevitable endpoint

Destruction of federal regulation IS what the Koch's want, conflict between tea-party states righters and the Federal gov't is the gateway by which that is approached.

[maryellen99]

30. I agree nt

[NightWatcher]

12. I hope he calls them out as batshit crazy and ends with

A Presidential Mic Drop

[Qutzupalotl]

14. Here's a link to C-SPAN live feed of the event:

[YoungDemCA]

[Pretzel_Warrior]

22. cool! i'm such a nerd. Watching CSPAN 2 and your feed of Prez.

I guess I'm really into it.

[avebury]

35. Thanks for the link. nt

[nolabear]

19. I hope he's late because Boehner is clutching his ankle.

No concessions, Mr. President.

[woodsprite]

37. I was hoping Boehner was clutching his own nuts in pain. n/t

[Beaverhausen]

21. Why is Chuck Todd swaying?

can you all see that?

[Pretzel_Warrior]

23. because he's a rank amateur at presenting himself in public

anyone who would go on camera with that hedgehog on his face clearly is not self aware and does not own a mirror.

[randome]

25. Damn!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]You should never stop having childhood dreams.[/center][/font][hr]

[GentryDixon]

24. I'm on whitehouse.gov watching Chuckie get his talking points from his

RW bosses.

[nolabear]

26. Shoot...I have to get back to work at two.

Five, EST. I guess the president didn't get my note.

[YoungDemCA]

27. Someone just sneezed!

[Pretzel_Warrior]

29. Obama: I have accepted Republicans' latest demands.

We will offer more condiments at all National Park Service eating establishment including Chipotle mayo.

That about wraps it up. Thank you, John Boehner, for your continued professionalism.

[rocktivity]

31. Youtube live link -- check out Chuck Turd smirking all over the place

Showing no ill effects of his 170,000-signature petition drubbing. Who are the other two stooges with him, and who died and left them in charge?

[YoungDemCA]

32. What a turd

Ugh.

[YoungDemCA]

33. 2 minutes!

nt

[YoungDemCA]

36. "Two of these responsibilities should be fairly simple"

nt

[YoungDemCA]

38. "The federal government is America's largest employer"

That's an important fact that the Teapublicans won't want to admit.

[Heddi]

39. Fuck...I hope he doesn't cave. please please

[YoungDemCA]

40. "The idea of putting the American people's hard earned progress at risk..."

...is the height of irresponsibility, and it does not have to happen."

EDIT: The ACA is going forward. You can't shut it down.

It's the law.

[joshcryer]

42. boom

[Heddi]

41. This is tough talking! He sounds exceptionally angry

[Pretzel_Warrior]

43. dayum. he's explaining it in a pretty articulate way. awesome to have the bully pulpit.

that is a great president we've got there.

[YoungDemCA]

44. "Does anybody truly believe that we won't have this fight again in a couple more months?"

[YoungDemCA]

45. Obama is using facts and logic...and common sense...

..and he's talking about shared responsibilities.

The real world, not the Republican/right-wing/Tea Party bubble.

[YoungDemCA]

46. "You don't get to extract a ransom for doing your job..."

Another great quote.

[PragmaticLiberal]

47. President Obama makes the GOP look like children.

[YoungDemCA]

48. I didn't hear a SINGLE concession...

Nice.

[vanlassie]

49. Excellent FUCKING ASS Kicking, Mr. President.

[G_j]

50. well done!

[sufrommich]

51. He done good.

[Ron Green]

52. Sober, sane, unmoving.

He did what he needed to do.

[flamingdem]

53. On point

A sharp point to poke wide holes through the repuklican party

[DonCoquixote]

54. FINALLY!

Mr. President, THIS is where you should have started back in 2009! Better late than never, but now you finally, finally sound like the guy I voted for!

[Gothmog]

55. I liked President Obama's statement

At some point, he needs to get mad at the GOP but this statement was great
