It is closed to the public, but the President will speak to the public?

Talk about double speak.

But, I guess when this clown has the audacity to talk about the deficit, anything is possible.

Will he tell the "public" how he increased the deficit and then submitted a FY2102 budget that increased it again and then when the GOP put forward a deficit cutting budget, he decided to get in the game? Way to lead there, Mr. President.

It's "closed to the public" or "sold out" because tickets have already been given out.

You and I both know if tickets weren't given out there would be 1000 crackhead birthers demanding his birth certificate every five secs and not discussing the US budget.

You mean the way the President ignored it for two plus years?

So, it isn't a public event, it is an event open to hand picked sheep, I mean participants, loyal to the President.

Um, they plainly said Annandale NOVA. I don't think Obama's going to learn Korean in 24 hours.

I dunno about that. He learned Austrian pretty quickly.

Don't sweat the small stuff. When he did his backyard deal in Mantua, he didn't answer the questions of those that were invited either. Just used them as jumping off points.

But that's what he gets for not providing the attendees with their own teleprompters.

President Obama nice man. Toothless man gets job as dentist. Barbie gets job as beautician. This means she beautifys people. This is part of Obama stimulus. Obama stimulus help my buttocks. Now hemmerhoid free. Thank you President Obama! You are nice!!!

I am currently attending NOVA and they hand selected a few classes to offer participation. I will be attending tomorrow. They said no bags, cameras ok and photo id required. I will post some pics tomorrow if I get a chance. I am prior military so I wont have any issues but I wonder if you do a quick background check on the participants.

I kinda want to go to see the protesters outside.

im strongly debating about not showing up to my 11am class because of the shitty traffic and lack of parking space. The garge is closed, staff parking is closed next to the garage, b1,b2,b3,etc are also closed off for student parking till 1pm.

obama shouldve stuck to the alexandria campus.

Will he be talking about increasing corporate tax rates? And how about this. Been hearing forever that we shouldn't increase the tax rates on the wealthy because they are the biggest trickle downers in the economy. How about a different tax rate for those getting by on huge inheritances and those who've made their moolah through creation of a business. And give those who have their wealth from inheritance tax breaks if they invest in a business directly and no I don't mean hedge funds. just spitballin'

I wonder what kind of doublespeak the Dear Leader will spew this time.

President Obama nice man. I get picture with him, Barbie, and toothless man. This means photograph. Just back from event. It was nice. President give Toothless man government money. This means he will be dentist. Barbie gets money to! She beautician. This means works on nails. Not hardware nails, people's. He such nice man. He is like Wizard of Oz. I get new grant for White Castle cheesburgers. President give me money for cheesburgers. President is nice man.

Increasing corporate tax rates? Are you retarded? The US corporate income tax rate is 35%, the highest in the developed world. This ridiculous, job-killing tax rate is THE reason why American companies like Google, Cisco, Microsoft, et al. go to such lengths to keep their profits offshore. Make the tax rate reasonable, and companies won't go to such lengths to avoid it.

The annoited one.

Pretty funny the biggest issue Republicans can bring up is "the Presidents motorcade will cause a traffic jam."

Way to focus on the long term US debt crisis.

Not pretty funny is how Barack and his congress of Demoncrats, raised the national debt from $4 trillion(already unacceptable), to an outlandish $14 trillion. Put that in your cap and smoke it. Oh, and the inflation, the silent tax we are paying for groceries and other goods, is due to this by the way. So, how do you like us now? The GOP has a lot more sense than B.O.

Here he is, the annoited one again.

There was one person talking about traffic. How do you know he is Republican? Are you some sort of clairvoyant?

I prefer psychic. Clairvoyants are egotistical bitches who wouldn't know how to use a crystal ball if one smacked them in their face!

Video: Obama uses false bridge-collapse argument to argue for more taxes
Share posted at 1:36 pm on April 19, 2011 by Ed Morrissey

The headline really doesn’t do justice to the actual offensive nature of this video from today’s town hall in Annandale. Obama keeps mentioning “potholes” on roads, but unless he’s referring to interstate highways, the federal government doesn’t fix potholes. To the extent that it funds pothole repair, those funds come from drafting taxes from people where local and state taxes could have been raised instead, and more local control and prioritization of pothole repair would result in better service, rather than wait to see whose Congressman can get their pork put ahead of another’s.

But being from Minneapolis, the implication that the St. Anthony Falls bridge collapse in August 2007 had to do with infrastructure spending isn’t just ignorant of basic civics, it’s downright false and offensive (via Greg Hengler):

Remember when that bridge in Minnesota collapsed with all those people on it? And there was a big hue and cry, “How can this happen in America?” Well, the National Society of Engineers — they looked around and they give us a D when it comes to infrastructure.

The bridge collapse occurred because of a design defect, a conclusion reached by the National Transportation Safety Board. The bridge was designed and built in an era when architects thought that redundant systems were both unnecessary and inefficient. Gusset plates installed at the time of the bridge’s building were too thin, and without any redundancy to account for a major failure on a single point, it was a tragedy waiting to happen from day 1. It had nothing to do with any lack of maintenance, and in fact collapsed because of scheduled maintenance to the deck that inadvertently destabilized it to the point of collapse.
It’s dishonest in the extreme to use this tragedy as an argument that we neglected our infrastructure, and ghoulish to use the dead for a false political point. Obama should be ashamed of himself.
Update: Give CBS credit for blowing a whistle on Obama’s dishonesty (via Jim Geraghty):

Mr. Obama noted that the United States has been given a “D” grade for its infrastructure and said U.S. roads and bridges are “deteriorating.” He added: “We cut transportation by another third and what’s going to happen to America? We’re just going to have potholes everywhere? We’re just gonna have bridges collapsing everywhere?”
While experts say America’s aging infrastructure is a significant problem, the bridge collapse in Minnesota, which killed 13 people, was found to have been caused primarily by a design flaw.

Hm, maybe he's interested in a criminal justice degree
