  • obama 2012

  • He is so full of garbage.... He tell us what we want to hear, but it isn't working. He's really just using this 'crisis' to push a leftist agenda on the nation. Seriously, break his speech down and see what it really means in the long run.

  • I appreciate the online-doing of Obama. World will see how long this will reach. He has all my best wishes. - kautokeine / Germany

  • Does anybody know what thegas4free.blogspot,com is that Obama has been talking about?

  • Sooo taking our tax money, putting strings on it, then giving it back to us is only the first step? Wish I was one of the states passing bills to separate from the union should martial law be declared.

  • Barack Obama is a complete and utter useless failure just like George W. Bush.This"Stimulus"Bill doesn't do jack shit for hard working Americans like me.A 13 dollar a week"Tax Cut"?Thanks for NOTHING Obama.Every God Damn time he and that tax CHEAT Geithner speek the Stock exchange takes a shit.I can't believe i let myself be fooled into voting for this lying"Articulate"hack.He also LIED about ending the Iraq war,he also likes TORTURE by allowing RENDITION to continue.This change is BULLSHIT

  • Obama will use the Bush admin's constitutional-rape to overstep the separation of powers to quell the econ crisis and its unrest. He will do this draconian and spark a constitutional crisis. He may or may not get shot at over that, but the end result will be a civil war over the limits of authoritarian power given to the government in times of emergency. Combined with the economy and the possibility of more terrorist events, we will most likely see the end of the USA as we know it.

  • How can I get help for College? How do I get that money? That's bullshit.

  • Apply for grants and student loans like I did, like everyone does.

  • Look at his eyes. He's just reading the telepromter!

  • ya ya... get ur bunkers ready. right...

    w t f is wrong with you people? this spending is nothing compared to our wars in the middle east. it's not going to really do much besides cushion a number of market sectors and ramp up state projects. you people act like the "commies" in DC are going to take everything you have and give it to ingrates. do us all a favor and get over yourselves.

  • Stock up on food guys, we're in for it.

  • "President Teleprompter" That should be his new nickname. Spread the word to the minions...

  • Presidents have been using teleprompters for a long time. Did you just climb out of a cave?

  • This guy is a sociopath. Hes going to keep metaling with shit until its permantly broken. Is there anything he hasnt changed yet. I mean everything that goes wrong he seems to think the government has a fix for it.

  • i think this plan will only work if every person in the U.S. works hard which i know that wont happen because i know plenty people that just sit at home and live off the goverment

  • Good luck getting out of a 10 trillion dollar national debt, America. You'll need it.

  • Government got us into this, how does anyone expect this to work!?!?!?

  • man our country is so fucked :(

  • Does anybody know what thegas4free.blogspot,com is that Obama has been talking about?

  • Is he stupid or something? Who voted for this dude?

  • ABRAHAM LINCOLN

    Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built

  • Material possessions are the fruit of Labor, but Land isn't.

    Nature gave land freely for us all to share, & Capitalists imposed Property (land) Laws to keep it out of our hands & in the hands of a few rich elites who then force us to either pay rent or BUY back a tiny scrap of this land.

    Either way, they force us into wage slavery, above & beyond the work we would need to do just to consume.

    Property rights = Economic Slavery.

  • Your reasoning can be applied to anything, gasoline, water, and pretty much any other natural resource.

    What laws are you talking about? My uncle owns 2 1/2 acres, and got it without any major problems. Hes certainly not rich or anything. Go to central Indiana, theres an awful lot of people that own land who are by no means rich. You have a really over-thought and twisted sense of reasoning.

  • Yes, it can be applied to natural resources, because the rich elites have hoarded them all & thus we are forced to work for them or others who facilitate them.

    Why is my reasoning twisted?

    Are you denying that people are forced to rent or buy back a tiny scrap of land?

    Are you suggesting we are given land for free at birth?

  • Where the hell do you get all these assumptions? Did I say people are given land for free? You work for what you get, what is so hard about understanding that. Nobody is determining how much you make, this isn't communism. If you work and make money, and then make wise financial choices, you get to buy nice things. I don't know why you think theres some big "land conspiracy" or some shit, but I don't see it and I don't think anyone else does either. Have fun in your bat shit crazy world.

  • You said my logic was twisted, but didn't say how.

    So I had to probe to find where you thought it was twisted. I picked examples.

    Now, since you clearly don't refute that Capitalist Property Laws (Land laws) force people to rent or buy back a tiny scrap of land, how is it twisted to then say that there is an economic slavery inherent within the enforcement of those laws?

    Think for yourself & answer the question directly, without rambling on about Communism OR what most other people think.

  • Why should anyone pay for land?

    Nobody created or produced land, so nobody has the right to claim ownership over it in the first place.

    Land was stolen by rich elites (with extreme force) long ago & Property Laws put in place to allow them to exploit people by charging them extortionate rents merely for existing. So it remains.

    We are allowed to by land, but why should we? That is like a slave buying his freedom - why should he?

  • Are you serious? Wait don't answer that...

    Land has been stolen for eons wherever lawlessness ruled. You don't think native American Indian tribes wiped each other out for their "hunting grounds". Middle east? Asia?

    Land in America was not stolen by rich elites. Land was stolen by immigrants who didn't have a pot to piss in.

    You don't want to buy land? I hear evry few years a new volcanic island appears somewhere, usually in the pacific.

  • Land was stolen by rich elites in Britain, in fact only 0.6% of the U.K. population still owns 69% of the land & it's basically the same aristocratic families who owned it centuries ago.

    Okay, after/as the Europeans invaded America & slaughtered most of the indigenous population & stole their land, it was appropriated in a more democratized way.

    But, Capitalism allows rich elites to accrue vast concentrations of wealth so that they can buy up & hoard land, meaning the rest of us are slaves.

  • Put things into context. Every piece of land around the world, assuming its privately owned now, was "stolen" at some point.

    Any economic system with private ownership the most wealthy with always generate wealth more rapdily over time than others.

    That said, you're barking at the wrong tree. What you need is, a government that will force transfer of land, taxes, eminent domain, etc, or a sizeable fricken mob and a guillotine.

    But that wouldn't be considered freedom now would it?

  • No, your suggestion wouldn't be freedom, just like the current system that we call free, isn't either.

    But other systems would be, for instance an anarcho-syndicalist system, where the people seized power for them selves & self governed & participated in politics for themselves, rather than voted for people who ignored their interests & only looked after the interests of the highest bidders...ie the rich elites...who own most of the land.

    & the past doesn't justify current injustices.

  • I'm speechless. Please don't ever come out of your parents basement and into the real world. Please.

  • Shame you feel that you have to resort to a form of psychological warfare (hurling insults) in order to discuss things.

    Some of the greatest thinkers who ever lived were anarchists.

    Chomsky - who is not only considered one of the greatest intellectuals in the world (prospect magazine voted him the most important intellectual alive), but was at one time the most quoted living scholar - is an anarchist.

  • Why do I care about what Chomsky has to say about this. He's a liberal who jumped on the anti-vietnam hippy bandwagon. Those enlightened hippies have all grown up and are running the government today, and look at the mess they've got us in! I'll be honest, I don't like the government at all. I'm conservative but I hate repubs and dems equally, they're both corrupt frauds, but your ideas don't seem to make any sense in the real world. I mean, who calls an insult, "psychological warfare...."

  • Chomsky is not a liberal, he's an Anarchist.

    Tell the truth, Neo-liberal policies of the Reagan/Bush/Friedman type have gotten us into the mess we are in today, particularly the deregulating & relaxation policies that allowed the banks to shift from the saturated credit market into Alt-A & subprime in an attempt to avert the inevitable recession/depression that comes at the end of every Capitalist boom period....not reformed hippies & certainly not Anarcho-Syndicalists.

  • Also...

    I used the phrase 'psychological warfare' to dramatize the concept that you were using a technique to attack your opponent in discussion rather than engage in rational dialogue.

    The phrase is used all the time to describe similar tactics in sports & even in discussion.

    Try sticking to rational debate, instead of using attacks on my intergrity & then moving to watered down attacks based on use of my language.

  • Monies made available under this plan are CONDITIONAL. If a state accepts funds then it MUST alter its employment laws in accordance with federal mandates PERMANENTLY. Even though the money is given over a three year period, the changes in the laws are FOREVER. Only NOW are governors starting to realize this. Talk about predatory lending practices! The very thing Obama and Co. have been flogging the mortgage industry over THEY are doing. No wonder there was such urgency to sign! READ THE BILL!!!

    America is the only country to be charged with International Terrorism by the World Courts following an attack which killed almost 10 times more people than the 9/11 attacks.

    Check out my video:

    America charged with International Terrorism

    to get links to the actual courts verdicts.

  • .......if the US is so horrible go to France.

  • to dahoeb & your comment:

    ".......if the US is so horrible go to France. "

    What's wrong, don't you believe in freedom of speech?

    Don't you believe in the tradition of questioning governments actions to keep tyranny in check & to uphold the freedoms we supposedly cherish?

    Can't you tell the difference between criticizing the foreign policy of a country & criticizing the country itself?

    Would you just give up on democracy & leave a country because you disagreed with certain policies?

  • Ofcourse I believe in freedom of speech. But I also believe in being pro-active. If the country you live in is such a bad terrorist nation, you should go and seek asylum somewhere, maybe Cuba or something. I'm all for questioning the government, as long as its within the realm of reason. If it steps out of those boundaries, sometimes its just time to go. For you capitalistholocaust, maybe you'd be less stressed if you just went to some country that doesn't commit these atrocities.

  • You are illogical, you are for being pro-active & that means for you: not speaking out about the atrocities of your own government & running away to another country where you can't do anything about it.

    Well done, go back to square one & try again.

  • dude, you're a moron. There's no point in responding to someone who let themselves get brainwashed my Michael Moore.

  • Keep it up Obama

    Your approval rating is sinking like

    a stone because of this kind of crap.

  • this whole video makes me think someone didn't read the stimulus plan, and/or that someone is just full of shit.

  • Thk you Mr Big Ears. I am going out next week and buy 2 houses I cant afford and Im not going to pay a note on them. Ill finance them for 4 years and If all works right I will own both homes by the end of that period. Who cares about credit rating anymore? It doesnt mean a thing now so what the hell----hmmmm I think Ill go buy a new truck to go with those houses too.

  • 1. We are Broke

    2. We are in massive debt.

    3. We have a very poor income (trade: what we produce here that we can sell abroad)

    4. The Consumer is also in massive debt.

    5. We are merely printing money and devaluing what little we do have.

    6. What lttle stimulus money is not wasted (250bil. )

  • You mean earlier this week you screwed the country and weakened us to the point of no return. Hey! At least the state militias have a 60% increase in their memberships! That's what we really need is a armed revolution and a good start over. Nothing like a good cleansing to get the country back on track. Go militias!

  • my comment was for dahoeb the smart guy who thinks the war made money.if we don't increase education in the US this kind of stuff will spread.

  • Yeah I just bought both T-shirts "Where's MY Bailout?!" and "TOO BIG TO FAIL"! for me and my sister!

    LMFAO! These shirts are FUNNY!

    Go check them out at WallStreetMarketNews, the link is in my Profile.

    Make sure you friend me ok?

    You can keep the CHANGE

  • Obama is just an advisor to President Pelosi.

  • Dopey libs.

  • Dopey libs AND dopey Neocons! Don't for get who's baby TARP was. George W Bush was the most liberal Republican ever. He doubled the national debt.

    In the last four months, we printed and spent more money than all the money we spent on all the wars in the history of the US, and the space program too! "Houston, we have a problem."

    George Walker Bush put nailed our country to a cross, Barack Hussein Obama drove in the death nail.

    Join us on April 15 as we march on the Federal Reserve!

  • Barry owns ALL of this one by himself. It will fail in the long-term, he can't blame congressional republicans so it will be G.W.'s fault!

  • America is broke, but lets send 500 million to Zimbabway for family planning. Thats the hope and change we need.

  • YES! And more spending for Afghanistan! War in Pakistan! Nation building in Sudan, Burma, Mexico, Venizuala, Burma, and Bolivia. And don't stop the Billions we give to Israel so they can continue an apartheid system in Palestine.

    Hey Mr. President, we can't afford any of this and you're just piling on! Stop it or we will be forced to take the power back!

    Now seems like a good time for some Rage Against the Machine:

    watch?v=rqkMsXcHQYg&fmt=18

  • Screw the federal government! 29 states have legislation pending that will re-assert the 10th Amendment and the power of the states. Let's make the federal government know their role and follow the Constitution; POWER TO THE STATES!

  • There is enough pork in this bill to line Barney Franks waistline.

  • When obama campaigned I like how he was saying im going to do this, and im going to do that. Now he just says, it wasnt me, its not my fault, and we. I guess thats why Pelosi is running the country.

  • "Beacuse of this plan, 3 1/2 million Americans will go to work..."

    And all it will cost the taxpayer $275,000 per job created.

    Or for the same money, they could give us an income tax holiday for a year. I know the extra $160 per week in my pocket sure could help stimulate the economy, and a lot more quickly than by passing through the hands of thieving, corrupt politicians.

    But they wont give us a tax holiday because then the American public would realize how badly we're being raped by govt

  • $8-14 dollars a week, this is why Clinton is in China begging for money. The humiliation. Obama and his cronie Pelosi are going to ruin this country. This country should be renamed the "Welfare States of Amercia." Funny how he renamed it Economic Recovery Plan. I thought is was suppose to be a stimulus plan. America sleeps while it is also silently being invaded by Mexico so that the Democrats can have more votes. You better learn spanish

  • Simple math for dumb Americans:

    Middle class working person's taxes in America:

    23% Federal income tax

    11% State income Tax

    6% Social Security

    7% Sales tax

    6% Misc.

    TOTAL 53% !!!!!!

    That is over half of your working life time.

    Please note: Many hidden taxes were left out, and the real number is much higher, but to horrifying for your small minds to comprehend.

  • We are slaves to the government, we are slaves to the banks.

  • Barack Obama is a complete and utter useless failure just like George W. Bush.This "Stimulus" Bill doesn't do jack shit for hard working Americans like me. A 13 dollar a week "Tax Cut"? Thanks for NOTHING Obama.The Right Wing bastards were right, this stupid ass "Bill" is nothing but "Pork" I can't believe i let myself be fooled into voting for this lying "Articulate" hack.He also LIED about ending the Iraq war, he also likes TORTURE by allowing RENDITION to continue.This change is BULLSHIT

  • Sorry if you were one of the millions that I told so, but "I told you so".

    He is so easy to read, and read between his lines and lies.

    So far everything he said he was going to do, now he isn't. And everything he said he wasn't going to do, he has done or is going to do.

    And all the kids though they were going to get all that free college. All thos epeople that thought the wouldn't have to pay for health care. All those people thatthough he was going to buy them their gas.

  • There is no "Free Lunch" despite its label.

  • No there isn't. But it was the main campaign promises from Obama. Free this, free that. it just goes to show how many people are still dumb enougfh to believe that you can get something free in America. nothing is free.If you get it for free you'll pay for it somewhere else.

    As his stimulus plan says, "states that participated,must give up their states constitutions".In other words,the fed will now have powere over all states that take the money.All state laws can be over ruled by the fed. gov.

  • Don't blame me, i voted Ron Paul.

  • MONEY TO THE PEOPLE...... screw giving the bail out money to ANY Wall Street Co - Give the people the money, as they spend it it will fix economy, stop forclosures, get america out of debt, etc.

    PLEASE join my protest to the Bail out and answer 1 question on camera: "How would you spend $297,000 dollars?" - That is the amount of BAIL OUT money given to the people....C'MON AMERICA, JOIN US IN TELLING THE GOV HOW WE COULD FIX THIS ECONOMY and California!....... The Fight Isnt Over YET!!

  • NIGG

  • The Obama Deception will be the first hard-hitting film to expose Obama, his agenda & handlers cutting through all the media hype, side-issues and Left/Right rhetoric. Alex has made several films exposing the Bush agenda and will approach the Obama Administrations plans from the same non-partisan point of view looking past the frontman in the White House to the real owners on Wall Street, in the Bilderberg group and at the Federal Reserve

  • Please help spread the word about this powerful new film. Make sure everyone you know whether they claim to be a Democrat, Republican, independent or none of the above sees this film before it is too late. The Obama Deception hits DVD on March 15. Also watch on GOOGLE VIDEO'S

  • Thank you messiah! I don't know how I lived before you graced our lowly little planet. Oh thank Obama!

    You can keep the fucking change

  • This stimulus is the most retarded thing I've seen done in years. Enjoy your worthless dollar I guess.

  • Cmon, Your going to get $13 a week. You can buy some 50 cent AIG stock that we gave $50 billion for. This stupid fucker is a total ass clown

  • wheres my stimulus chek? thats why i voted for your ass!

  • I understand Obama wants to bring this country back to life, but if this nation keeps on accepting handouts from taxpayers, soon enough everyone will expect a bailout, and expect the gov't to find them work. Americans need to rely on themselves, and not be so fucking lazy. This package will do just that. People will start having the mentality, "Obama will take care of us." and will go out and buy shit they can't afford. Let the failing institutions fail. Follow Darwin's theory god damn it!

  • What does he mean by, now there can be shovels in the ground, cranes in the air.

    I take it he hasn't been to Dallas. There are crans everywhere. Shovels and backhoes digging everywhere. DART rail going in all directions. Old building being torn down and new ones going up in their place. And it's been that way for 2 years now. but yet he'll try and say it's all because of his stimulus plan. None of his spending is being used on those projects.

  • 90% of Congress didn't even read what was in the 1,000 page bill. They voted into LAW something they didn't even READ!!!!!!!!!!

    Things that where never discussed in Congress made it into a bill THEY DIDN'T EVEN READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm totally speechless...

  • Plant a garden, a HUGE freakin garden. You will be dirt ass poor, but at least you will have food.

  • Obama has all you idiots fooled...WAKE UP.... He communicates thru the internet and to the public well...Can you give something that this empty suit pile of shit has done...besides spend more money in the 1st 30 days than we have in the last 7 years of IRAQ...WELFARE and HANDOUTS for all...Tax Tax AND Spend...2010 is going to be fun...

  • America is becoming a welfare state...

  • I voted for him and I still like him but he will not get my vote again in 4 years if he runs. He will turn our nation into a third world. Handouts and more handouts is not the solution.

  • I'm glad I Left the democratic aka dumbocratic party to become a libertarian conserative populist

    Both parties suck ass to me.

  • ok so obama you want to halve the budget deficit. but u just doubled it with your stupid bill. u really need to go back to first grade math and learn if you want to cut spending u dont go spend even more. idiot

  • $1.6 trillion/300 million people x 4 (assuming 4 people in a family) = $20K

    Obama's tax relieve will give you $65/family every month x 12 = $800.

    Dumb groupies cheering as Obama takes $20K from each American family while giving them back $800 this year = Priceless

    THINK people. Yes bush was bad. So what? Obama is president now. You all need to hold him accountable like he asked and stop cheering for everything he does without processing the merits of his actions.

  • Obama is trying to correct things for USA. He isnt using your tax dollars to wars in the middle east.

    I think its a lot compared to the Fucked up Bush who used all your money to a war and drove your country and most of the world to an economic depression

  • you're an ignorant sheep if you think a war in Afghanistan and Iraq had this big of an effect on the economy. Wars are expensive, but these ones aren't budget breaking. in one fucking bill, Obama almost doubled our deficit, thats a great step in the right direction. Solve debt with more debt. Real fucking smart. I wish I was a liberal so I would understand how that magic works. Housing policies signed in by Clinton had a bigger affect on whats happening now than anything Bush did.

  • if you read my previous comment, you will notice word TRYING. I didnt say anything about his solution being right. The fact remains that Bush should have used the money to USA. If you havent noticed yet, America is the leading country in Economy, unfortunately because European countries stupidity seems to follow the one who has biggest intrest where it shouldnt be.

  • uhhh...you're an idiot.... If Iraq was so bad for the economy we wouldve had these problems within the first 5 years of it. Secondly, during the first 6 years of Bush's presidency, he almost erased the national debt, if the war was so expensive and costly, explain how he could've done that. You're simply an idiot who watches too much MSNBC and listens to that blubbering fool Robert Gibbs. You're last comment is so incoherent, who knows what the hell youre trying to say.

  • are you a monkey? "almost erased the national debt..." that is a bald face lie!

  • uhh yeah, hard to believe isn't it! I mean, I never found out about it on MSNBC, weird, huh?! But yes, in 2005 Bush had made some good strides on getting the debt way down, but then in his last 2 years he started spending like a drunken sailor. Instead of the kneejerk "LIES!" reaction, look it up yourself and prove me wrong. Or you can keep drinking your kool-aid.

  • OH and I'm offended by your racist remark, "are you a monkey?". You obviously don't like black people. Shame on you hate monger.

  • Does anybody know what thegas4free.blogspot,com is that Obama has been talking about?

  • All salute socialist Obama!

  • You can thank Bush for this crisis!

  • There is nothing in this stimulus plan for white middle class Americans.

  • Barack Obama is a complete and utter useless failure just like George W. Bush. This "Stimulus" Bill doesn't do jack shit for hard working Americans like me. A 13 dollar a week "Tax Cut"? Thanks for NOTHING Obama. The Right Wing bastards were right, this stupid ass "Bill" is nothing but "Pork" I can't believe i let myself be fooled into voting for this lying "Articulate" hack. He also LIED about ending the Iraq war, he also likes TORTURE by allowing RENDITION to continue. This change is BULLSHIT

  • bite me u sob!

  • I'm not very supportive to the spending/stimulus plan. But at least Obama communicates a LOT with the American people: check out the new White House website, and we can now see his press release directly on youtube.

    How many times have you seen Bush coming out and speak DIRECTLY to the public?

  • Him communicating to me does not change the fact that he is trying to steal my money to save corporations that employ people who cant do their job and get over paid for it.

    i rather him not steal my money at all.

  • Good Point JIMEX!

  • Hitler communicated a lot too. At least Bush could say he was a little busy killing terrorists, which is undeniable he was pretty good at.

  • Please don't defend that fucker Bush. He's the reason why we're in this mess.

  • Yeah, thats an awfully compelling argument. What exactly did Bush do that caused the housing or mortgage crash? Did he push lenders to give loans to people that couldn't afford payments? NO, Barney Frank, Bill Clinton and the democratic party did! Bush tried (unsuccessfully) multiple times to repeal that! Who went to congress and said Freddie Mac was doing just fine just a few short years ago. A: Barny Frank. SO without saying, "War, Iraq, or Afghanistan", how did Bush cause this, you dunce.

  • Bush caused this because he should have raised interest rates so everyone and their brother didn't go out and buy a home.

  • And how are you going to defend the fact that Obama is going to DOUBLE the debt that Bush created??? All you libs love to tout what a horrible mess Bush's debt was, well Obama has been in power barely a month and is about to double it. And remember who was in power in congress the last 2 years of Bushes office. Dems. Now what is the only branch that has power to grant authority to spend tax money. Congress. Can you put two and two together? So why don't you hold your dems accountable too?

  • LOL, 12 out of the last 14 years congress was under Republican control Einstein. The mortgage crash didn't just start the last 2 years, it started in 2004 do to the previous 10 years of Republican control Congress.

    Can you put two and two together?

  • You have both Democrats and Republicans serving on both the House Committe on financial Service and the Senates version. They are the watchdogs and has nothing to do with who holds majority. Regulating institutions are the FDIC, FRS, OCC, OTS, and Treasury. And if you recall oh smart one, it was DEMOCRATS who disregarded the alarm bells, aka Barney Frank. And the last time banking oversight was debated in congress was the 103rd congress, I believe, and you guessed it, Democrat majorities.

  • funny but 2000, 2005, 2007.. had banking oversight debated.. oh by the way Einstein who appoints the heads of FDIC, FRS, OCC, OTS, and Treasury.. LMOA@YOU

    Go lie to your friends not so smart one..

  • Name a bill that hit the floor? 2007 too late. Reform act of 2005 killed in committee by democrats. 2003 Bush proposal to create new agency to oversee FRE FNM killed by democrats as well. So please go ahead and educate us to any point problems were brought forth and democrats DIDN'T kill any proposal for fixing a problem. Heads of any these agencies matter not which party appointed them they must be approved by Senate. OCC did exactly what the democrats wanted more homes for everyone.

  • obama is spending tax dollars in america opposed to bush spend all our tax dollars in other countries (war).

  • Our? Almost 50% of working Americans who file taxes don't pay taxes, they pay "entitlements", i.e SS, medicare, etc.

    911 estimated cost in lost revenues, 200+ billion and that was just a few city blocks of damage. Bush wars 800+ billion. Number crunch a "serious" attack and the 800+ billion looks very attractive finacially speaking. But its about lives, so whats the pricetag for your life?

  • We're about to leap back to the 70's when Carter was in office. I recall the double-digit inflation & unemployment, and my dad getting laid off.

  • actually 53% vote for obama..and 45% for mccain..get your numbers straight...and Obama has a 62% approval rating so you are the minority..have fun hating though..he is YOUR president..have fun getting used to it..keep me updated

  • Your a stupid mother fucker OBAMA.

    You are exactly what we knew you were. (at least 49%) did. and noe the other 51% is seeing how stupid you are to.

    WOW $13 bucks a week. I can fucking retire now

  • 13 dollars a week can feed one person. The economy has been going down the shitter for years. Should of saved money

  • *holds up his tin bowl and wooden spoon* Where is the soup line?

  • not enough

  • Does anybody know what thegas4free.blogspot,com is that Obama has been talking about?

  • oh shit they got flying cranes now?

  • So Mr. Obama says i can weatherize my home and have my kids graduate college with the $1000 im getting from the stimulus?I didn't know all the roads, dams and levees were crumbling either. He says hes going to do all these things but he dosent say how!

    watch his eyes too

  • I love how he can lie he's ass off and think we the people are not going to know!!Fuck you Bush number 2!!!

  • Oh god..no more steps..please...my balls and my children in the future are hurting already...fuck you Obama.

  • over 800 billion- first step....whats the last step

  • cocaine....lots and lots of cocaine.

  • lier lier lier!!!

  • you can't spell can't spell can't spell!!!

  • hahah jk, gobama !

  • im tried of the black man keeping me down! haha

  • Does anybody know what thegas4free.blogspot,com is that Obama has been talking about.

  • Responsible is good. It remains to be seen, and time bears all things out I learned.

  • We as a PEOPLE CAN...

  • US will make it! I am sure!

  • those are alot of promises

  • The stock market is falling like a rock because it doesn't like what Obama and DemocRATs are doing. They are wiping out savings and retirement accounts. Yes we are getting change but is it the change people wanted? I doubt it? The 2008 election was essentially a temper tantrum. Most people didn't have any idea what they were doing when they pressed the "D" button. Well now they are getting it. We will be lucky to have a country in 4 years. A pox on you all.

  • well then even worst.

  • He's going to double the debt and then discuss the half he inherited and then solve all our problems. Sounds good.

  • Wow! You expressed in one sentence what some would write a book to describe. Forward your message--Keep on posting!

  • Thanks. I'm not trying to be nasty to the guy. He's got a sticky wicket there. I think the trade deficit may need to be addressed, but he didn't mention that. I think we make up for it by leveraging our dollar in the world economy. Maybe he plans to continue doing that. Must be. Maybe he can't talk about that sort of thing.

  • Thing is, I really don't think the deficits can go away and stay away without eliminating the trade deficit. Ultimately, that is our fundemental financial problem. The US is the only country that can get away with perpetual trade deficits because it's the only one which can borrow in it's own currency. If that stops, we'll have to go isolationist.

  • Obama Rocks

  • It may be cheaper for the tax payer if the Constitution is upheld and he must give up his Bith Certificate, instead of having to IMPEACH him for being a incompetent fraud, a liar and a sub-versive.

    What did he say, that he was going to have KGB agents keeping an eye on the use of payoff money?

  • Bush was the worst president in history. So what? Obama is the president now and I am glad he is doing something.

    But please watch his video and think about it rather than just absorb like a regular sponge:

    What families will get:

    $65/week for a family x 52 weeks ~ $3380

    What families pay out:

    $1.6 trillion/ 300M people x 4 people per family ~ $20,000

    Its like saying you MUST give me 20K and I will give you back 3.5K. Since I am GIVING you 3.5K, cheer for me! I kept my promise! THINK.

  • This is the first step of taking more money from workers. How about the about the expanded CORBRA benefit? Sure the government will pay 65%, but there is a NEW hidden tax on employer based health insurance to pay for it. So you get an extra $13 per week, but your health insurance might increase by $40. You may get a tax break in one area, but new taxes in others. Just read the bill.

  • Obama is charismatic and speaks well, and he hits the right buttons. Personally, I like him. HOWEVER, this level of deficit spending is unprecedented, and keeping this huge expenditure from being fleeced & raided by all the jackals who live off of gov contracts will be very difficult. This is a vast experiment in Keynsian economics..How will he "cut the trillion dollar deficit" that he inherited by borrowing another trillion? Hmm...How about cutting $200 billion from the defense feeding trough?

  • Yo bama....exactly why is it you believe I need credit to pay ordinary bills and buy groceries?

    I don't need your fucking credit...I don't want your fucking credit....shove your god damn credit and your slimeball banks up your ass.

    All you dumbass' in DC do is vomit toxic venom about the wonderful things you're doing for 'we the people'.

    Enough is enough. We're not playing this game any longer. We will find a better way without you.

  • Didn't a certain Republican come along and DOUBLE the national debt 100% from$5.6 trillon to $11.3 trillion

  • Cirucii,

    I am a conservative Repub, and I voted for GWB in 2000, but he lied to me. I didn't get fooled twice in 2004. He should have been impeached. This new president is smarter, slicker, and far more articulate, and that makes him more dangerous. Both Bush & Obama are BIG spenders who believe in MAMMOTH fed expenditures while they sing the tune of fiscal responsibility. Obama was elected by the inner cities, the greens, the gays, and the teachers' unions. He has A LOT to pay back to them.

  • this is a serious, and complex problem, that this society is founded on. Money is the problem. Dollars are greenish white, the same color of puss, and the dollar is the currency of the world, or was. The planetary organism is pumping puss through its veins. We and our effort are the real lifeblood. Eliminate the system of banking.

  • Good point.

  • You guys are right... Obama is crazy. Where are the 9/11 threats and WOMD?

  • I could sure go for some more oil drilling and another Patriot Act

  • This problem is not simple, it cannot be explained as he is, with sixth grader language. Just listen to him; this problem is intercontinental and interpersonal. Its roots are in the banking and international banking entities. The banking system is like the perfect mofia super-structure. NO MATTER WHAT ITS A SCAM if it works with the banking system. The government is under the exclusive employ of Money, not you. The only solution, which will not end in our slavery, would be to eliminate banking.

  • THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT
