WASHINGTON - President Obama today made the 2,432nd speech of his first term, which reiterated points from his 2,431st and 2,430th speeches earlier in the day.
Addressing one of the last groups in Washington that he hasn't already addressed, President Obama today told the seventeen members of the National League of Marginally Moderate Voters (NLMMV) that "despite several very encouraging signs of [economic] recovery... many challenges still face us as we get our nation back on track toward growth."
The crowd listlessly applauded as the President then rushed off to another speech across town.
"I'd have something to say but frankly I'm tired of discussing [President] Obama's speeches," said Jim Jameson, Ron Ronaldson Chair of Modern Politics at the New School of American Thought. "I'd go .. ahh forget it."
White House staffers have yet to blog the President's speech today due to an overwhelming backlog of several hundred, one-hour or more speeches. Often speeches appear on major social networking sites weeks after the fact.
Wall Street gave absolutely no reaction at all to Obama's speech, having already discounted the message in the price of stocks and bonds in early May. When pressed for a comment, the Street just walked outside for a quick smoke before heading back to the pits for a brisk early afternoon sell-off.
