La Grande Bouche

The Big Mouth, aka The Bloviator in Chief spewed forth much blether [*Word of the Day] yesterday at his acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize. Here's a link ->

It's full of nonsense and rhetorical flourishes ... and self-justification - not unexpected.

Obama sees himself not as President of the whole United States of America, but as the chairman of a mass movement - the Democratic National Committee. This is why he is unwilling to compromise. He wants conflict to gain votes and money to help the "party" remain in power. Listening to his recent speech about jobs, I was struck how he inserted several jabs (three, I believe) against the opposition party. He doesn't try to craft workable programs based on reality; he bases his message on slogans and rhetoric.

This is why he has done nothing to lead - truly lead - Congress towards a workable reform of the health care system. He's let Congress create a 2,000 page monstrosity. He doesn't really care what the result is, so long as his party can claim victory in next year's elections.

Does anyone not wonder why it took Obama about three months to make a decision on his Afghan war "strategy" ? He had no idea what to do, so lots of people talked and met and talked and met and in the end put together a rather weak, flabby "strategy". I think he did that just because the media started to question his "leadership" on the grounds that it sure was taking a long time.

I suppose this should be no surprise; afterall, his first "job" out of college was to be a community organizer. He's still acting like one.

Actions

Zippo. I don't think there will be many buyers higher, so this rally will stall.

Bunkerman what are your thoughts on the state of Florida? would you like to live there sir?

Bunkerman said...

Bunkerman said...

End of FL.

Bunkerman said...

and from what I can see, life in FL turns people into wimps.

They visit up here and wear a parka when it's 60F.

"life in FL turns people into wimps."


careful Bunky...Bud may have to knock your teeth out for that comment...

Bunkerman said...

lol

Bunkerman said...

a day like today here, windy, 20F, most FL people would look like fur balls ... or maybe plump dough boys with so many layers.

Tell me it's cold when it gets to 0F.

Frosty said...

Bunky...ten year 3.56% on the way to 3.75%?

Frosty said...

Mike, you may be correct, Sal might have shot his johnson off...would take heck of a shot...I say nonono Bunk could hits that lil target at 5 paces.

mfl59 said...

Actually I heard there was a raid last night at the Blue Oyster...cops got a tip on a guy selling bb guns.....may explain Bud's absence...

Bunkerman said...

on the way to 4.5%, I'd say.

Bunkerman said...

it's just a matter of time; once the economy strengthens a bit and the Fed starts withdrawing excess liquidity later next year, the 10 yr goes to it's natural level, namely 4.5% = core inflation o f2% + 2.5% real return ... ever time.

certainly by some time in 2011.

Frosty said...

thanks Bunk...3.75% was speaking in the shortest of time frames...like next week, appreciate your thoughts indeed.

Frosty said...

Sal...must be getting spanked ping pong today...I know that puts a smile on Mike's grill.
