March 23, 2009: The Day in 100 Seconds

[PainlessTragedy]

IMPEACH WASHINGTON DC!!!!!!! TREASON!!!!!! SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!!!!! 2nd Amendment was designed for Foreign and Domestic Enemies (TO GRANT THE AMERICAN CITIZEN THE RIGHT TO OVERTHROW A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT)

[HempForPresident]

you honestly think your 9mm is going to stop a tank?

[bellacarmesi]

lol the last explanation before it ended... it reminded me of sitting in MIS class in college with my foreign instructor. My eyes instinctively glazed over. XD

[collegefreedom]

The implement of the case is not primitive to ones meaning, therefore obsolete.

[btownhotties]

I'm never watching any politics anymore, I pretty much stopped watching tv last week.

[alwan11]

I wonder if those three on fox and freinds drink before they go on set lol?!?

[UGOTDAJACK]

How can anybody watch fox news? Better yet, how can anybody watch any one of the mainstream media outlets?

[HempForPresident]

Let's call them corporate media, not mainstream. Mainstream America is progressive by and large.

[Kelmanza]

you are clearly brainwashed by this 'mainstream' media and it's buzzwords like 'progressiv.e'

[MegF142857]

Translation... we're winging it. We have our fingers crossed it helps "do something".

[Dejayfever1]

Hey Meg, I voted for Obama, and I am a liberal. I just wanted to say that by no means are we winging it. By removing "bad" assets from the banks who've made them, we are are rewarding bad behavior. This is why the stock market rallied yesterday. This is not "winging it", this is completely intentional in order to relieve the banks from responsibility. Now, the Gov. bought $1,000, 000, 000, 000 of "bad" assets from the banks so they can go back to making a lot of money with responsibility.

[Dejayfever1]

I meant "without" responsibility...:)

[monalisasmiles4you]

Screw your lifestyle, angry Fox News anchor.

Capitalism is dying.

[MooseOfReason]

monalisasmiles4you, What do you mean by "dying"?

[monalisasmiles4you]

Failing, not working, etc...some major changes need to be made.

[MooseOfReason]

monalisasmiles4you, Would you agree, though, that the Federal Reserve, our central bank which controls the amount of money in circulation and the interest rate (which is 0% at the moment), distorts the market?

Do you agree that the Departments of Energy, Agriculture, Education, Commerce, Health and Human Services, HUD, Labor, and Transportation, also distort the market?

I would appreciate hearing your answers to those. My answer to both is yes, and that is why we haven't had a "free" market.

[zndprophet]

Damn, when I hear the tone of the Fox News Morning Anchors, it reminds me of how mad and nuts all the republicans in this country are.

I feel like just giving back this country to them, not enough people learned their lesson it seems. They should have to own this. Let's let Limbaugh, Jindal Palin, & Glen Beck run the country and show us how stupid their beliefs really are.

Then again, I like living in my apartment. I don't know if I'd wanna live in a shanty town and cook rodents over fires.

[carrierexchange]

Ahh Fox "News", first class bullshit.

[FullOfFail]

Calling it bullshit is giving it too much credit. I'm sure bull shit has a purpose in the ecosystem. Fox news on the otherhand doesn't have a purpose at all.

[carrierexchange]

I stand corrected.

[MooseOfReason]

"...to ensure that the objectives by which the plan was introduced... are met by the implementation of the plan. And if the plan doesn't meet through its implementation the objectives of what it was... outlined to do, the plan might be augmented to meet those objectives."

I mean, it makes sense, but it was really wordy.

[kittystrokem]

Did you get that all the first time around? : )

[MooseOfReason]

kittystrokem, No, I had to watch it a couple times. ;)

[kittystrokem]

He He Me too, MooseOfReason.

[snakefilm]

what can i say?

Obama Rocks OUR Socks!

[qwertyman233]

"between you and me i dont wear any socks"!!

[intarwebzz]

hey paul krugman, where the hell are ya man? watch? v=XOYAuk809fY

[MVX12]

Obama is doing a fantastic job!

i am very impressed with his handling of an economy as bad as the one he inherited.

[CarryANation]

Obama is going to dump all that toxic crap "assets" that are worth $0.00 onto the American taxpayers.

Meanwhile, the banks that bought all this toxic crap - JP Morgan Goldman Sachs SEC Capital Citibank Bank of America, along with the EU banks and Carribean Hedge Funds/Money Launderers get to sell their toxic waste to the Americah taxpayer/sucker.

Obama is WORSE than Bush

[moregravyplease]

CarryingOnandOn:

YOU are WORSE than Bush! At least the former President has the decency to let the current President manage these situations without piling on the hate, and bum-rushing him with lies and stupid fear-mongering.

You have posted this same comment over and over and over again. It doesn't become any more true by repeating it.

Your programme might be successful at making other stupid people believe and repeat your comments, but serious people despise your cynical nonsense.

[zndprophet]

Amen, moregravyplease.

People are so good at knowing what's wrong, but so far from having a grasp on what's right.

[MooseOfReason]

CarryANation, exactly.

It's like a store, and its inventory is made up of things that are worthless. No one wants to buy the items. The government wants to use taxpayer money to buy all of those items, so the store can stay in business, which isn't fair to responsible shop owners.

What we should do, is let the store owner make the decision whether to throw out most of his inventory (allow toxic assets to be liquidated) or whatever.

[CarryANation]

MooseOfReason thank you for being reasonable.

Obama is continuing the Bush policy, of ignoring the *fraud* at the top levels of JP Morgan Goldman Sachs Citi SAC Capital, all the hedge funds, all of the "shadow banking" system.

If Obama is going to be FDR he better start arresting these people. Otherwise he is Jimmy Carter.

Madoff is the tip of the iceberg, everyone knows it, the bond market knows it. One term Obama has one chance, will he take it? LOL

[kevon2000]

look at the DOW...

[truescorpio14]

Fox and Friends is such a nonsense show i just see a bunch of monkeys flinging poo at eachother

[moregravyplease]

lol

1:23 Gibbs' remarks remind me a bit of Rumsfeld's "known unknown" comments

[tickhound]

This has been a test of our emergency economic system... This is only a test.

For those of you who lost your jobs, homes and retirement, we thank you for your participation.

Everyone can go back to work now.

[Richardgwm]

Obama is da MAN.

[JBeatty17]

Black Cat, White Cat, why does it matter so long as the Cat catches mice?

[WKaliberr]

the day has not even ended yet you twats

[voyeurdug]

Return on toxic assets doesn't have to be in the double digits. If tax-advantaged in some significant way, it only has to beat taxable bank-rate by the tiniest skosh.

[CarryANation]

Obama and Geithner and simply continuing Bush and Paulson's theft.

We are giving our money to JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, SEC Capital, private hedge funds in the Bahamas.

Impeach Obama and arrest Geithner for grand larceny.

[moregravyplease]

CarryACanard:

If you repeat your nonsense in enough of these comment sections, maybe even YOU will start to believe it.

[CarryANation]

moregravyplease it's interesting that your response doesn't address any of the issues I mentioned, i.e.:

The bailouts in TARP, the bailouts to AIG (which is allowing AIG to pay out money to Citi, BofA, JP Morgan, SEC Capital, hedge funds), the Federal Reserve's "qualitative easing", etc.

You didn't mention any of the issues, just said nuh-uh.

Are you some Democratic partisan spammer/intern?

[moregravyplease]

NaryANotion: "moregravyplease it's interesting that your response doesn't address any of the issues I mentioned"

No. No, it's not. It isn't interesting at all, and neither are you or any comment you've ever posted in these fora.

YouAgain: "Are you some Democratic partisan spammer/intern?"

No. I am an Illuminati/CFR cabalistic shadow-government puppeteer, and we've got your Internet surrounded. You must now step away from the keyboard, and submit to your all-powerful masters.

[CarryANation]

moregravyplease, I was talking about the TARP program, what is called the "bailout", Obama's new stimulus package (which includes bailouts) and the recent bailouts of AIG.

You are talking about alien conspiracies or something. I don't really know anything about it.

Obama obviously has no clue what he is doing, his fans have no clue what he is doing, and Timothy Geithner, Bernake, JP Morgan Goldman Sachs and SAC Capital are robbing us blind.

Good job sticking up for the working man Democraps.

[moregravyplease]

You are fear monger and charlatan. You are NOT and economist. You don't know what you are talking about. Your entire programme is to whip up hate against the President.

Look, if you ever posted anything that didn't sound like Chicken Little meets the little boy who cried,"wolf!", then maybe people would take you seriously. But if you go around carrying pictures of Chairman Mao--you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow.

Take your "g-d hates fags" bullshit routine someplace else.

[CarryANation]

moregravyplease:

The facts are what they are. Geithner - the main architect of the bailouts and bonuses at the NY Federal Reserve Bank, is using our tax money and now "printing money" to pay off his friends at JP Morgan Goldman Sachs SEC Capital European bank, and the worst of all - private Hedge Funds - who made bad derivative bets.

Why the hell should hard-working middle class and poor people have to pay so the rich can get bailouts?

Forget Obama, Biden had his hands in this.

[moregravyplease]

And you offer us an alternative?

No. You'd rather scream about how much you hate the President, Tim Geitner, and everyone else in the gov't.

I wonder: did you ever read a Wall Street Journal before the current economic downturn, or are you a Johnny-come-lately to all issues related to the economy?

Don't forget: G-d Hates Liars!

[CarryANation]

"Don't forget: G-d Hates Liars! "

Heh what were you saying about religion earlier?

Bush was the worst president in history. Rush Limbaugh and all those moronic "conservatives" are nothing but wanna-be Hitlers. OK?

How much longer are JP Morgan Citi Goldman Sachs SAC Capital, the private hedge funds, BofA, and all the rest of the naked short selling lying derivative fraudsters going to rob us blind?

Obama was supposed to stop them. He has the capital, time to ACT.

Otherwise impeach him.

[iluvsystemofadown]

omfg wall street today is fuckin awesome!! so much points

[eljefereal]

I didn't know Gibbs spoke buzzword!

[sachaput]

"You can screw people in politics, but not business?"" Somebody better tell Bernie Madoff!!

[oldtownkid]

A good start this week !

[smcmillan88]

So I read an article that this PIPP program is buying $1trillion in investments? Where are they getting the $1trillion?!

I'm all for Obamas socialist changes but damn they're spending so much money.

[FoShizzle951]

Dow is up. Socialism wins again.

[digiring]

It's not socialism, but whatever it is it worked. Today, at least.

[Sokekajal]

These news "journalists", are a bunch a clowns!

[ver506]

The people at FAUX news are still infuriating.....but it's been been a good day otherwise!

[BayAreaLen]

I LOVE the octobox!

[KLNDR]

Wow, Gibbs just rocked my world.

[SquallCloud]

This is probably way too much to ask and I'm being a total ingrate by asking it but if there was a list of the different clips used to make the Day in 100 Seconds that would make my life.

[1garageboy]

The DOW went up 500 points today.

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

I got it.

[domulys]

ah, day in 100 seconds.... my favorite part of the day.

[balbaldoodoo]

True that
