The precise forward words where the reversal occurred in
indicated with brackets - [ ].
"I want you to know that one of the
reasons that I worked so hard with Democrats and Republicans
to [keep the government open] was so that I could show up
here today."
Soon the bottom right dead beats - Could this be a
reference to a political faction?
"...for the country we [want and
the future that] we share..."
Weathers we finance now - an obscure reversal seemingly
out of context. However the entire speech is about finance,
and this reversal is about finance. Is there a secret
program for manipulating the weather that is included in
Obama's proposed new budget?
"Democrats and Republicans must
come together and restore the fiscal responsibility that
[served us so well] in the 1990s."
I was subversed - This is a strong word. It means to be
overthrown. Clearly, at the very least, he felt subverted in
his attempts at change, maybe even deliberately sabotaged.
"Businesses will less likely to
invest and open shop [in a country that] seems unwilling or
unable to balance its books."
Did you fuck it - Not sure who you is in this case. Is
it Obama? Or those who wont balance the books? You decide.
"Above all it will require to
choose a vision of America that we want to see 5 years, 10
years, 20 years [down the road]."
All the mud - Simple metaphor. The road is muddy - it
will be hard going.
"These are kinds of cuts that
tell us [we can't a]fford the America that I believe in and
I think you believe in."
I thank you - A strange reversal given the forward
context.
"This vision is less about
reducing the deficit than it is about changing the basic
social compact in America. Ronald Reagan's own budget
director [said there's nothing serious] or courageous about
this plan."
Serious. Your funds are lesser - Congruent with his
speech.
"The first step in our approach
is to keep annual domestic spending low by building on the
savings that both parties agreed to last week. That step
alone [will save us about 750] billion dollars over 12
years."
Nonetheless, I was a vessel - He sees himself as a
vessel of change.
"Its an approach that puts every
kind of spending on the table. But one that protects the
middle class, [our promise to seniors] and our investments
in the future."
So yes, its an offer - Congruent reversal - this is his
offer
"Its an approach that achieves
about 2 trillion dollars in [spending cuts] across the
budget. It will lower our interest payments on the debt by 1
trillion dollars."
Suck your lips - Meaning unknown
"Our nation has had to [borrow
money to pay for some of our priorit]ies."
Oh our problem was so favored in a mob - Everyone (the
mob) went along with it.
