1. What? No violin lessons?

I mean, really.

[sudopod]

31. Best he can manage is a kazoo.

He tries real hard, though.

[ITsec]

2. Just great...

The country is going into the financial shitter, Houston is a disaster, and the head Chimp is going golfing.

[lutefisk]

8. To be fair, he's also going bike riding and having cake.

That's intellectual overload, for him.

[ITsec]

11. Multi task? The Chimp?

At least he's loading up with sugar before those exhausting mental tasks of bike riding and sandbagging.

3. Oh brother!

:puke:

[Earth Bound Misfit]

4. Now watch this drive...

[Not Me]

5. How reassuring.

What a tool.
I place part of the blame on Ms. Pelosi for not defending our constitution and getting this man removed from office long ago.

[BR_Parkway]

6. Hasn't he figured out every time he speaks its an additional 300 point

drop?

Speak on Shrub - remind everyone once again that it's the failed Republican policies that always bring us to this point.

Lehman on your watch, Drexell Lambert on your daddie's, Reagan's deficits compared to Clinton's surpluses.

How in the world anyone with a brain slightly bigger than a lizard's can still think that Republican's are fiscally responsible is beyond me. They simply shut down reality to keep believing what they've been brainwashed to believe.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. Sounds like another grueling morning for Chimpy. Cake, golf, biking.

Oh, how I despise that man.

[IDemo]

10. Sorry, all. I couldn't resist incuding that last part myself.

Although it probably isn't too far from the truth.

[Edgewater_Joe]

9. "Wall St., yer doin' a heckuva job - now watch this drive!"

Next?

[screembloodymurder]

12. Nooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things are bad enough.

[radfringe]

13. Piehole effect ALERT

keep your eyes on the stock numbers (if the station is showing them) when smirk-boy opens his piehole

[Virginia Dare]

17. I wouldn't doubt it if he used this time as a soapbox..

to tell us why we need to privatize social security. He's just that delusional.

[DemoTex]

19. Beat me to it, Rad!

Beware the Bu$h Piehole effect!

[AndyA]

14. I guess Bush figures since the market is already in the shitter today,

his speechifying won't make it much worse. The market always drops when Bush speaks.

Why this man isn't being tried for abuse of authority is beyond me. Thanks, Nancy Pelosi. :puke:

[tnlurker]

20. I am guessing a 200 point drop

Beginning about 5 minutes after he starts speaking

[mikeytherat]

15. Sell by 10:59!! Sell by 10:59!!

Don't just have the orders in! Make sure they are processed BEFORE 11:00 a.m.!!!

[Virginia Dare]

16. My fellow Americans, you're fucked...

[mikeytherat]

18. "Now watch this putz."

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. "And I am the fuckee. Now watch this drive."

[Hubert Flottz]

21. "I call on ever merkin' to be ready to rumble with the terraists who

have attacked our good con-a-mee an caused me an dick to look bad at this time of war. An that's all I got to say about that, 'cept to add that the merkin' con-a-mee is sumpin' like a box ov hot chocolate." pResident Gump

[lonestarnot]

22. OMG ROFLMAO! Waiting for this one! ROFLMAO!

Wonder if he will talk about that 13 billion a month for the war of lies? Nah! And probably 10 times that siphoned off a month by the the top 1%.

[BlooInBloo]

23. Because Americans want the stupidest motherfucker in the room....

to tell them about something that's fairly complex.


Unfortunately, this is actually the case.

[boomerbust]

24. Iy will be a message

To the Democratic Congress, we must DRILL DRILL DRILL.

[Virginia Dare]

28. Everybody go shoppin'....

quick, run down to Wal-Mart and buy some more crap from China!

[SammyWinstonJack]

29. Oh yeah!

[nc4bo]

25. Question of the day: Will * be: Drunk? Sober? or Hungover? nt

[IDemo]

30. Here's a clue:

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. How could anyone seeing that pic not think he wasn't drunk as a skunk?

:shrug:

[Jennicut]

36. Haha! That sums him up perfectly. No friggin clue as to what is going on.

I doubt President Dumbass even knows what the financial sector is, let alone the stock market.

[bdamomma]

26. oh give it a break chimpy

leave just leave.

[TornadoTN]

32. I think the sell-off is even more than they anticipated

This is a major catastrophe in the making - the bet is now on when they will cut off trading and close the market to let it "cool off".

[Old and In the Way]

33. That will help

...not. This is probably a buck passing moment. "If Congress had passed my taxcuts legislation, this could have been avoided."

[crickets]

34. Don't forget to bring along your abacus, Georgie.

People like visual aids. :eyes:
