Barack Obama’s Teleprompter’s Blog: Reflections from the hard drive of the machine that enables the voice of the Leader of the Free World

Mitt Romney: President Barack Obama’s actions on the economy have had the opposite effect than what was intended. His address to Congress was meant to restore confidence; instead, consumers retreated and investors sold. His Treasury Secretary’s bank plan was meant to settle uncertainty; instead it added to it. Every speech, every interview, and every initiative has caused investors in America to recoil.

Ace of Spades HQ: So to sum up, we are going to destroy our economy by taxing and regulating it to death while starting a trade war with a major trading partner (who we expect to continue to finance our reckless spending) all in the name of solving a problem that doesn’t actually seem to be happening. There’s only one word for that…AWESOME!!

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski…”Somebody said that we’re not in President Obama’s Final Four, and as much as I respect what he’s doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets”

Tom McGuire: What an operation - Geithner was at the NY Fed working with Hank Paulson on these bailouts, was brought to Treasury to provide continuity, and now has forgotten everything prior to Jan 20, 2009.  Geithner needs to bring on some senior staffers so he can fire someone.

Tom McGuire: Mr. Obama said, “It’s almost like they’ve got — they’ve got a bomb strapped to them and they’ve got their hand on the trigger.  You don’t want them to blow up. But you’ve got to kind of talk them, ease that finger off the trigger.” Wow…I wonder how the suicide bombers at Fannie Mae feel about their retention bonuses
