Obama Warns of 'Catastrophe:' What Happened to 'Hope' and 'Change?'

**Jesus Jones** · 06-02-2009, 08:23 AM

Barack Obama's cap on executive pay for bailout recipients yesterday overshadowed his comments about the stimulus bill, which deserve greater scrutiny.

"A failure to act, and act now [on the bill], will turn crisis into a catastrophe," Obama said, sounding a lot more like his predecessor than the candidate of hope and change.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?

Even as he sees the potential for a near-term rally, Todd Harrison, CEO of Minyanville.com, says Obama is understandably worried about the risk of Congressional inaction. "He's right there's potential for this [economy] to get much worse and manifest itself not only financially, but through societal unrest," he says.

More than Obama's rhetoric or what's in the stimulus bill, Harrison is worried that protectionist policies worldwide could lead to heightened geopolitical tension and, ultimately, global war. Now that's something to really be worried about.

Do you think it would be disrespectful to call hin Khun Barry?

More like Comrade Barray, eh?

Here's something we can expect to see a lot of from our Community Organizer in Chief: Obama is attempting to overcome resistance to his Cloward-Piven spending spree by deploying armies of glassy-eyed ACORN types to bang on doors and persuade us peasants that our greedy rulers know best.
First Obamunists must pledge support for the economic suicide pact, which entails deliberately wasting enough money to put the country in debt for generations. Then they are sent out to harass the populace. They won't be carrying tire irons — yet.
Mitch Stewart of Organizing for America rallies the troops:

By pledging and building support you will be taking the first steps towards establishing a nationwide grassroots network, neighborhood by neighborhood, standing side by side with President Obama as we bring about our agenda for change.

A presence in every neighborhood will be helpful when it comes to identifying counter-revolutionaries who cling to their guns or whisper skeptical comments about the global warming hoax. Obama's Weather Underground associates estimated that 25 million Americans would need to be rounded up and liquidated before we could achieve the glorious collectivist utopia now known as Change.

Obamunists are deployed to every neighborhood.

Ripped from here

Obama is a golliwog with a hand up his arse, but he has a nice smile.

You think any politician would get elected if he told the truth before winning office?

**buriramboy** · 10-03-2009, 11:43 PM

I thought it was Bush who had left America in debt for generations, can't see how after a few months in office people are blaming Obama for the mess Bush created.

Obama says buy stocks now: Good deals there for long-term investors, President claims

Does this translate to, "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" a la McCain?

**Jet Gorgon** · 11-03-2009, 08:05 AM

^ Ya, buy stocks because "profit/earnings" (BO talk for price/earnings) ratios are good, and then we can tax your a**es with the increased cap gains tax we implemented. FO, BO.
