Their own little world
As the usual, once Obama starts a speech during the work day, and it's aired on CNBC, one of my right wing co-workers has to comment. Keep in mind she doesn't really know what is going on, nor does she really listen to it. She just comments. Out of what I guess would be a conditioned reflex. She says, "When is he going to be done talking", "How much longer is he going to talk". And this time, even added that it was "not that impressive".

Yes, you robot. I guess it wouldn't be to you. However, are you really listening? Are the vast majority of citizens, pundits and media, even those that are against his policies, wrong? I guess you are right, nothing he says is "impressive" by any means, and no one thinks he is. Shut up for once yourself. I have to listen to your inane babbling shit all day long. Personal shit, stupid shit, opinions and uninformed ones at that. It's like a live theatrical Twitter every day around here and I never buy a ticket. Shut it. Work. If you aren't busy, don't bother others.

Vented.
Thanks!

4. Not this supporter. Every time (and it most certainly is not 24/7 as
you erroneously state) he does have something important to say to his audience. Personally I could listen to him all day, every day if that were the case. He's the President of the United States, our Commander in Chief. Live it, learn it. Isn't Rush on?

6. Although I used a little hyperbole...
... I still stand by my observation.

5. I prefer it to a pres who spends big chunks of time
vacationing in an undisclosed location.

I'm not bored, are you?

7. I listen to the same jackasses on CNBC all damn day
every day, 5 days a week with the same bullshit right wing talking points, that's what is getting old. Tell Wall Street to pull their head out of their asses, and get the sheep of this country to quit following GOP hate speech, and I'm sure B.O. would love to take a seat on his couch and do nothing like GW did.
