The president gave his big speech last night. And in it, he laid out a plan.
It all makes sense to me now. I love it when Obama be speechifying.

Go ahead, pass it.
Do it before the big bus starts rolling, shut him up.
If it works (LOL) Congress gets kudos too.
If it is another flop, it will give jobs to competent people in Washington in 2012.
I shouldn’t of watched that clip Basil. Now I’m slightly hypnotized.
I think he was trying to use the force. The effect would be stronger if he would wear the Emperor cape.
I missed the speech, did he at any point stomp his feet and threaten to hold his breath?
I’m sure he wagged his finger at them. That was the whole reason to hold a joint session. He likes to put people in the same room so he can blame and shame them.
Spend on spending.
Pass on passing.
I couldn’t watch the speech. I’m under the bus. help!
Barack Obama is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.
“Let’s get to work and let’s show the world once again why the United States of America remains the greatest nation on Earth: because I am the president of it. Thank you very much.”
I truly can’t watch this man. I have an overwhelming urge to throw something heavy at the TV. It’s not that I’m not used to people lying and cheating me and treating me as if I just rolled in on a turnip truck, I just don’t want them in my home while they do it.
I wish he’d addressed the Elephant in the living room crapping all our new rug. But no one else is taking about it either (except me but I’m old, cranky and disgusted, so what to I know) so it must not be important.
All is well, all is well.
sooooo, what exactly do we get stuck with after they all pass, pass, pass, pass, and pass this “thing” around?
Now, now, seanmahair. We must keep our Celtic instincts in check here. The TV is just the message provider, the conduit, as it were. If you throw something heavy at it, you’ll either (a) implode the ancient CRT in there, or, (b) damage those magic little liquid crystals of Hollywood light, depending on the state of your technology. (I was much more inclined to throw something at my old cathode ray tube in hopes of a big sound, being an auditory kind of guy!)
BTW, you’re doing some very serious blogging of your own – some astonishingly challenging bless you great posts over at http://seanmahair.wordpress.com/! I’m a reader. Go there now, people; Seanmahair is like Frank’s totally serious side.
QUESTION: Does it actually even matter to anyone anymore that there’s not actually any bill from Obama to pass or not pass?
Ah but Bob you don’t understand. Along with unicorns excreting rainbows and magic money trees there is also the “enchanted bill writing machine”. All his highness has to do is think a thought and the machine copies it, expands it, makes it totally unreadable and 3,000 pages long.
That’s how bills are produced by this administration. No more of that nasty law/constitution/elected representative nonsense.
Occasionally I wonder if we actually fought the Revolutionary War of if that’s just a myth. Seems to me we have been experiencing ” taxation without representation” for the last three years. Who knew Obama was a closet royalist? With him as the royal of course.
Oh and Jimmy, thank you. That was really nice of you to say……..you sir, are a darlin’ man.
@Son of Bob: Your comment was much more restrained and polite than mine, which was more along the lines of “There is no bill to pass, dumb @ss! THERE IS NO BILL! There isn’t even a complete proposal ’cause you’re teasing it along like a g*ddam Breitbart Acorn exposé!! Doesn’t anybody care that Republicans are going to be blamed for dragging their feet over passing a bill that DOESN’T EVEN EXIST?!” Even on my right-wing talk radio this morning, a California representative was being asked if he planned to “vote for this bill.” He stupidly failed to point out that THERE IS NO BILL TO VOTE ON!!!!! There are just vague Obama proposals that went from $300 billion to $450 billion overnight, just a mirage on shifting sand, and HOW CAN YOU COMMIT TO PASSING OR OPPOSING A MOTHERF@CKING “BILL” THAT DOES – NOT – EXIST?!!! (Wipes spittle off of chin.) So, to answer your question, Son of Bob, yes, someone cares. For all the effing good that does.
I thought it was cool how the middle of the Speakers desk lowered at the beginning of the speech. (2-8 seconds in)
I’d never noticed that before.
It that where they keep the beer cooler and chips? or the secret entrance to the Bat cave? or a TV so they can watch the pre-game show?
