1. Economy...

[samplegirl]

2. Thank you

I missed Rachel last night!

[Major Hogwash]

3. Wrecking the economy!

Like that socialist Muslin from Kenya has been doing for the last 5 years with his Voodoo doctors down in the basement of the White House where his mom-in-law let him live while he gets on the internet and plays havoc with his fellow gangsta' buddies playing against other Doom playas!!

That's what!!!

[Fuddnik]

4. I'll get out my Larry Summers voodoo doll.

[Major Hogwash]

10. Barry luves him some Larry, man.

He's been luving him for many Summers now.

HAHA!!!

5. teh economee

[NM_Birder]

6. jingling some keys... campaigning about jobs and the economy

Things are so much worse than they appear in the country, and they appear HORRIBLE. He'll flash a smile, be motivational, crack a joke and everybody will applaud.

And tomorrow not a damn thing will change.

[JoePhilly]

9. You forget to mention the teleprompter.

[NM_Birder]

14. Teleprompter never bothered me, still doesn't....

The man is in the mud slinging cross hairs on every single syllable that comes out his mouth. Detroit is only the beginning, There are many more large city bankruptcies looming on the horizon. Detroit was not a surprise, it has been on the glide slope into a crash landing for a long time.

My hope would be that his speech will be more "financial reality based", with the actual horrible facts and brutal realities that will be required to overcome what is GOING to happen in the next few years, not just in Mich. But I bet the speech won't, he had the promise to be the reality based President, however he can't explain the truth for fear of what it will mean to future elections. There are serious financial black holes that are gobbling up the future of this country,..... polls, statistics and the irrelevant "unemployment figure" doesn't change the facts that are present in the lives and communities around America.

And the wheel goes round and round, for now anyway,...........until there is not enough grease to be "speeched" and we seize up one bearing too many,.. and the economic axel snaps.

7. This...

It's been a long hard recovery.

We have a growing economy.

The worst is over.

We have people left behind.

We need to take care of that.

I am serious this time.

Really, I am very serious this time.

But Congress does not like me.

I cannot do it by myself.

I have plans.

I have had plans all along.

Congress does not like me.

Why won't they like me?

I try.

I will try again.

I have plans.

This time I am serious.

If they would only be nice to my plans.

I will have more plans too.

God bless America.

11. ....

[Arctic Dave]

12. Perfect.

Why don't you guys like me!?

[Savannahmann]

8. The Economy

But there are no new proposals, or programs, or suggestions. Just that things are going well, but could be a smidgen better.

In other words, distraction from Snowden and the NSA.

[morningfog]

13. Image control.

[bigwillq]

17. Damage control.

[malaise]

15. Starting any time now

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

16. kick

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

18. "we put tough new rules on the big banks."

[Zorra]

19. The necessity of laissez faire capitalist global plutarchy and plutonomy,

and *why* we need to use half our nations tax money to continue spying and engage in military police missions undertaken to protect the profits of the 1%.

But it may be hard to decipher the real meaning of the speech due to the optimistic vague ambiguity of the content.

Just a guess, hope I'm wrong.

20. Supposedly it is the same speech he gave in 2005

At the same location. Don't know if that is really true, it would be remarkable in some ways if it were
