are you gonna watch obama tonight Options

[brooklyneast05]

9:00 eastern tonight obama makes his address to congress. better tune in kids and see what has to say. i am.

[hi-C]

He's supposed to be talking about the economy I think.

I hadn't planned on watching his speech, but if he interrupts American Idol, I guess I'll be forced to.

[sixfive]

I hadn't planned on it, but this seems to be a good topic to bring up one of the best youtube videos ever. It was Obama playing basketball with a bunch of middle schoolers, SHOWING NO MERCY. That shit was f*cking awesome.

[dosomethin888]

Is it going to be on certain channels?

[brooklyneast05]

Is it going to be on certain channels?

i don't know. i know it's gonna be on cnn just because they haven't shut up about it. carrie said it's gonna interrupt american idol though, so whatever station that is. probably the big stations will have it im assuming.

[hi-C]

The big stations (NBC, Fox, ABC, CBS) and the news stations (MSNBC, CNN, Fox).

Edit: They've moved American Idol to Wednesday because of this speech. He can't keep doin' this only on Tuesday.

[illriginal]

I'm betting there's gonna be more fear mongering.

Oh and this:

[shanaynay]

I'm gonna watch it, although I think we're watching most of it in class tomorrow.

Irony!

[illriginal]

Irony!

Wait.. where's the irony?

[mipadi]

Wait.. where's the irony?

[Blyat]

Im watching it in class too
hopefully this will be a hopeful speech

[brooklyneast05]

there's not really any way to win there...if he tells the straight up truth people cry about him saying crisis too much and being too harsh. if he sits around and is all hopeful and shit people are going to cry about how he's not being straight forward enough with us.

<,<; he agreed with Nanci Pelosi (sp?) that more than 500 million Americans will lose their jobs in the coming months. There isn't even 500 million Americans in this country to begin with.

[hi-C]

^ Then I think you need to go back and check the quote, make sure you've got the number correct.

[brooklyneast05]

pelosi mispoke obviously. the estimate is 500,000 job losses a month i believe if we don't do something. she said million instead of thousand. people mispeak on numbers all the time, and she corrected it when someone pointed out what she had actually said. i don't really get how that's such a big deal. i've never seen anywhere where obama is repeating 500 million.

[coconutter]

You've probably agreed with something because you thought the person said something else, even though they didn't

get over it, people mess up all the time

[smash]

i'll probably record it and watch it later.

[LittleMissSunshi...]

i am probably.. it's cause he controls muhh futuree (;

The joy of youtube:

This is classic fear mongering in order to get it their way.

[hi-C]

Ah well. I'm with JC, Pelosi obviously meant thousand, not million.

And I hope you accused the Bush administration of fear mongering as much are you are Obama.

[brooklyneast05]

yeah i just really don't see so far how this is fear mongering. too much of the crisis talk is a bad thing, i agree, but honestly look how many people are losing their jobs and businesses going under. it's not fear mongering to say things are bad. things are bad. they sure as hell aren't good.

Exactly. Fear mongering is only fear mongering when there's not much to be scared of. Obama's being dramatic for a reason.

[illriginal]

Of course I do. Bush, that piece of shit could not say a sentence without mentioning "terrorists, terrorism, terrorize".

Democrats and Republicans, different parties, same shit.

K thanks. I thought it would be on ABC or NBC.

I'm gonna watch it, although I think we're watching most of it in class tomorrow.

[brooklyneast05]

starting soon kids, get to the tv

[shanaynay]

I should brodcast it off blogTV XD. my TV isn't an LCD screen though so it would look horrible.

[Maccabee]

Obama replaced american idol...
argghhh...

[brooklyneast05]

dun dun dun

[shanaynay]

yeah I just flipped CNN on.

[brooklyneast05]

good job, justin

[hi-C]

Watching, because I have no choice.

[shanaynay]

Those people know how to applaud...

[hi-C]

^ They must be required to do that.

I love how Obama's so in love with Michelle.

[Tomates]

Im probably not going to watch it. Knowing my government teacher she will probably record it and show it to the class this week or whenever.

[shanaynay]

nobody messes with Joe.

[sixfive]

is that the class you and uchiha shacked up in?

[illriginal]

I've gotta admit... Obama's a great speaker. Brb <,<

speech is over, I liked it, agreed with most of it. I just hope he can live up to all of it.

Aye... At least now I have a better idea as to what his plans are and I agree that hopefully he can prove himself.

The only thing I don't like is the whole Fed getting involved. These are State issues.

EDIT: Also Nancy Pelosi annoys me. Sit down stupid woman.

I hope you're also directing that to every politician that gave Obama a standing ovation...

Edit: And how about that Bobby Jindal! That was the best worst speech I've heard since the general election.

No through out the whole time she kept getting up and interrupting, every time she got up, everyone else followed suite -.-

And I agree about Bobby LOL

EDIT: All he did was talk about Louisiana which isn't even a model of the entire country and has one of the worst capitals cities in the country. All he talked about were what Republicans "believed", not what they actually did in the last 8 years.

its okay im sure he checks anyway, and if he reads this and sees this he might try to stop, but hell still be curious to see if im badmouthing him or not. him f*cking your sister, however, is factual, so perhaps he's just embarrassed that people found out.

[Elba]

I'm hungry.

[Elba]

All I have are fruit snacks, sun chips and these delicious cookies. I want real food.
