Obama to speak at 1:30pm Eastern. Er. . . now it's 2:00pm

The DJI is coming up pretty quick after Barry's pep talk.

Someone must have thought he said something of value.

David Gergen spoke with wolf a while ago, a member of the CFR how Nice

Standard speech, but he is still right about needing to reform the tax system (aka eliminate loopholes) and increase taxes on the rich.

Dear Obama,

We lost 31 soldiers this weekend not 30. Might want to get that right next time you idiot

one of them has been resurrected as a cyborg super soldier

Anyhow, I read 30

Reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan –— New details emerged Monday about the devastating helicopter crash that killed 30 U.S. service members including at least 22 elite Navy SEALs.

Why "idiot"? If it is 30 instead of 31, does that make you the idiot?
No need to reduce the discussion into random name calling (which is unfounded...its 30...CNN just confirmed it at this second)

423 right now. Was down over 450 just before the speech.

Guess the market stopped while he released some gas!

How many poor homeless people have you ever worked for?

Wow! It's coming down hard again! For a couple minutes after the speech ended the index came back up over 11022. It's just about to sink under 11000 again.

I take my earlier statement back.

LOL!!! This guy here is still calling for tax increase.

It's the fault of earthquakes & oil spills?
The hell? Did I miss something?

Oh look, someone who thinks that trickle-down economics works.

It doesn't, it never has. The corporations took the tax cuts and pocketed them. They did not use them for improvement.

Brazil stock is plummeting towards -7% and Argentina's still hovers around -7.5% Apparently they weren't convinced.
