Steelers to lose Super Bowl Trophies
The Super Bowl XLIII Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, the only team to win six titles, will soon be loosing half of those trophies. After a meeting between NFL Commissioner Rodger Gadel and President Barack Hussain Obama, Obama decided to redistribute half of their Steeler Super Bowl victories and trophies to less fortunate teams in the league.

“We live everyday in the country that invented the Super Bowl.” said Obama “We are not about to lose this Great American tradition in the wake of these difficult times.” Obama’s plan calls for the Steelers, who are a successful NFL team, to give half of their Super Bowl trophies to teams that are not successful or have not been as successful as the Steelers. “The Detroit Loins are just as much a part of the same fiber of the NFL as the Steelers and they should, no rather will, be entitled to a Super Bowl Trophy as well.” Obama explains in his plan that he has imposed on Godel and the NFL.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, who by virtue of hard work, excellent team play, stellar draft choices, responsible investing of free agents, careful hiring of coaches and excellent community service and commitment to their fans, has prospered greatly during the past 30 years and have won six Super Bowl Trophies. But President Barack Hussain Obama’s plan calls for the Pittsburgh Steelers to carry the larger burden of the NFL’s less successful teams. Obama went on to further proclaim, “In these difficult times we are all in this to work together. We must reclaim the NFL Championship Dream for every team, for every city and for every fan.”

“My plan will not affect 31 of the 32 teams in the league.” Obama assures. That’s over 95 percent of the teams in the NFL will not have to worry about loosing any Super Bowl Trophies. “The worst teams in the NFL and the teams that can’t seem to get a break and win a championship will no longer have to worry about going without a title.” Obama promises. “We are a country and league of hope. We all need to make a change. It does not matter the color of the teams uniforms, the personal decisions that the teams make or their performance but rather if they are a member of this great American league.”

The Super Bowl XLIII trophy will be redistributed to the 0-16 Detroit Lions. Through no fault of their own incompetence, the Lions could not manage a victory all season and this trophy will help ease the pain of their lack of performance and give them hope once again. The redistribution of Super Bowl XL trophy will go directly to the Steeler’s division rival the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals who also have fallen on hard times have never won a Super Bowl. This victory will bring a smile to hundreds of Bengal fans all over the world as they can now celebrate. Finally, one of the Steeler’s two Super Bowl victories over the Dallas Cowboys will go back to the Cowboys since the league needs to provide hope in the face of difficulty and provide hope in the face of uncertainty. This is a heavy burden for the Steelers but together we can all prosper.

All hope is not lost for Pittsburgh fans, Barack Hussain Obama has another plan in place. Obama has meet with MLB and commissioner Bud Selig on a similar plan. The New York Yankees will redistribute two of their world series trophies to the Pittsburgh Pirates as a supplement to their loosing 16 straight seasons and counting. This plan will help stimulate the Pirates and enable them to regain the American Dream. Barack Hussain Obama will be meeting with the NHL and Michael Phelps in the upcoming weeks as this issue is high on his agenda for “Hope and Change.”

Spelling schmelling …

If you want to talk emphasis, then the real emphasis should be on the $3+ trillion this f-f-f-f-f-f-fine gentleman is spending …

has the fine art of irony and sarcasm gone the way of a decent tomato and a well made american car?

i guess all the billionaires on DRC are scared they will have to distribute some of their hard earned dough…

Why should anyone have to redistribute anything they’ve earned? Billionaire, millionaire, or otherwise …

Churchill said it best …

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.”

We are neither. We are a Democratic Republic. you can study the Preamble, Articles and Ammendments right cheer:

Yup, there still are some good old time Tomatoes surviving. I get my seeds from:

I’m going to try some good old fashion maters this year. Assuming i still remember how to sprout the seeds. I used to have a green thumb. Lately, I have a salty one.

I think Obama needs to be this is just plain DUMB . Just when you think a person can’t get any more stupid and then you hear something like this. I can see going after oil companies for price gouging or snaking the auto makers and banks for poor money management but taking a award and giving it away to teams that probably could do better just does not make a bit of sense >LOCO<

Are you sure you are against redistribution?

Did you see the alternate budget proposed today? Rich will get a tax decrease of up to 10% and all the rest stay the same.

Under the Republican plan, the top marginal tax rate would be slashed from 35 to 25 percent, facilitating a dramatic transfer of wealth up the economic scale. Anyone making more than a $100,000 would pay the top rate; those under would pay 10 percent.

The football story was a joke people it was a spoof on his first 100 days and his campaign promises. Please tell me I am not the only one who got that

Positive.

And, FWIW, with the current proposed budget, any tax cut would be irresponsible. The only way to support it would be to raise taxes across the board. In fact, the current proposed budget is fiscally irresponsible.

As for the percentages you tossed out … they don’t mean much until you look at what those percentages actually mean in real dollars.

And, yes, as Al noted, the ESPN story is a spoof.

no al, you are not the only one, just it seems one of the few.
and kk, i get my maters from tomato growers supply. just had some super sauce from last year’s jarring up.
mmmmm san marzano

Yeah, I’ve seen that story before.

But, just for funzies, most of that TARP, TALF and bail out money will get paid back in time so that the companies can get their gubmint monkey partner off their back. and not all of the toxic assets will be toxic. just a lot of obsessing. the gubmint could even turn a profit. buying bundles of loans at 50 cents on the dollar that may get paid back at 70 cents on the dollar.

I read a report and a stats somewhere that showed that of all the subprime loans outstanding, Illegal immigrants had nearly a zero default rate, While the wealthy quick buck speculator/flippers where the ones turning in the keys and defaulting on their loans, It seems the illegals were buying properties, determined to make them their HOMES. or so the stats go. motivation is everything. Paper losses are ductible. oh, except for real estate losses. sorry.

Damn and I thought the Eagles were finally going to get a parade.

Obama is attempting to clean up a huge mess created by the former administration and it’s inability to regulate and control inflation. I feel bad for the man as even the experts have no idea how to properly correct the mistakes that have been allowed to happen over the last 10 years.

Housing prices double? No documentation mortgages? Sub-prime lending runs rampant? High-risk securities no longer being bundled with stable low risk assets to balance in case the market collapses?

I wish him all the luck in the world - the man has been set-up for failure. if the current and former heads of the Fed say they have no idea how to fix this mess how can we fault the man for trying?

Don’t misunderstand me … I am not defending the previous administration when I say this …

but most of the stuff you are talking about started well before the previous administration took office.

The previous administration, like the one before it (and most americans), simply didn’t recognize the pitfalls of living on overextended credit. And, unless I’m missing something, current budget policy seems headed right down the same road.

Print and spend …

YOU LIVE IN AMERICA…ONE NATION UNDER GOD RIGHT…YOU ARE THOU BROTHERS KEEPER…

America was built on debt, and will never be out of debt…paper money has no real value, the market dictates its value…this isnt the first depression we’ve been in…my economics teacher told me we were heading into a recession about 3 years ago…Congress knew…but we are now reaping the seed we planted far ago…and the fruit taste pretty sour…

19

I wrote a paper in the 80’s about a large correction in the markets was needed and should be expected. The teacher gave me a D saying my paper was unrealistic based on the current economy. In 1987 there was a large (at the time) correction and it was semi happy times again. I wonder if I can go back and get a corrected grade? When economist and supposed smart people talked about the economy they would inevitable talk about the Great Depression and vehemently assert it could never happen again. When greed is involved and supervision or penalties are lax anything is possible.

[quote=“Franklin D. Roosevelt”]
I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people.[/quote]

[quote=“Library of congress”]
The New Deal Roosevelt had promised the American people began to take shape immediately after his inauguration in March 1933. Based on the assumption that the power of the federal government was needed to get the country out of the depression, the first days of Roosevelt’s administration saw the passage of banking reform laws, emergency relief programs, work relief programs, and agricultural programs. Later, a second New Deal was to evolve; it included union protection programs, the Social Security Act, and programs to aid tenant farmers and migrant workers.[/quote]
Even with all the reforms and social programs and government spending (Dwarfed by today’s standards) it did not end the depression; It took a World War. Sounds very familiar to a current President and his first 100 days.

yep, you’re missing something. the economy has momentum. it was just turned around due to the force of government money supply. all the loans will be paid back. the ceos of the major banks met in the oval office today to discuss the way out. several are in better financial shape than the rest. the race is on to see which will be first to pay back the bail out money and get the fed monkey off their back and out of their pockets. the rest will follow with a few exceptions. those that fold will be the cost. the fed might even turn a profit.

corrections happen all the time in the market. it follows human psychology. fear and greed.

deficits have not always been the case. only since WWII. deficit spending has increased by different administrations since then. with one notable recent exception.

or Debt spending as a percent of total economy, GDP. Up is bad, Down is good.

we where a breath away from a major financial collapse a few months ago. the first bump of $700 billion, no matter how ill applied, slowed the unraveling enough to get a grip on it. we got a chance now. but its gonna cost some money up front. Regulation is always a decade behind the leading edge of Greed. Them dang lawyers don’t get paid a bundle of loot for nothing.

UUHHH??? My younger Brother does pretty good for himself, Thank you. The best I can do is just keep a dog, a cat and a bunch of dirty old tanks.

Oh Oh… Time to go. Tank cleaning time… again…
