Obama Solves Economic Crisis by Snapping Fingers!

Did that headline get your attention? Good :)

I just snagged this transcript of Obama's remarks to "a crowd in Green Bay, Wisconsin" today from BreakingToday.com, the site behind http://twitter.com/BreakingNewsOn

These remarks were "described as a 'major policy speech'" according to BreakingToday.com.

As always, my quips are NOT italicized.

The era of greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street and in Washington has led us to a perilous moment.


DO YA THINK?

They said they wanted to let the market run free but instead they let it run wild, and in doing so, they tramped our core values of fairness, balance, and responsibility to one another.


"tramped"?

So much for Obama being "well spoken" ;)

As a result, we are facing a financial crisis as profound as any we have faced since the Great Depression. As a result, your jobs, your savings, and your economic security are now at risk.


I had savings?

WAIT! I had economic security?? I HAD A JOB???

Holy CRAP! Why didn't anyone tell me??

This week, we must work quickly, in a bipartisan fashion, to resolve this crisis and avert an even broader economic catastrophe.


"Which is why I'm here in Wisconsin campaigning, rather than in Washington helping my colleagues sort this shit out."
