Presidential Press Conference [Opening Remarks]

[weowny0u]

What did President Barack Obama mean when he said that "American discourse has lost its civility?"

[songofanime]

I have faith in you.

[genkidesukaxoxo]

i am sick... sick of hearing idiots on YT post comments either ripping on presidents, (any of them) what party is the best, or are just writing angry messages. YOU get off your lazy ass and do something about it if you think so strongly. if you dont like a certain plan, try changing it instead of writing racist comments, if anything, WE are the future, not some guy on tv with a mic who lives in washington. there will be a revolution, and we will start it now!

[baysideful]

[MrSuperpunch019]

I'm so sick of the right wing conspiracy theorist. Espiecially those that can't see that alex jones is a nut case buffon

[musicxcraze]

People are so stupid, seriously... why didn't anyone complain when bush was in office? if anything HE is the anti christ, obama is the total opposite.

[sp3091]

taking over, not taking over. I would say, I don't really care. I would prefer a more secure and controllable life under some kind of taking over than some insecure out of control ones. As long as I was able to do more than before, I don't care who controls what. I think this is why "kids" need to be TAKING CARE of.

[sprite266]

Hey! I desperately need some help for my english essay - the level is rather low - BUT I need some to correct mostly my grammar :( anyone who wants to help me? If yes, than PM me your MSN/facebook/e-mail! Thanks in advance!

[ajack50]

no you have people that see right thru this asswipe and his total takeover of our nation, this idiot wants full control of your life and you are too stupid to realize it. Car companies,banks,unions,now healthcare,he has announced they are taking over the student loans,destroying more jobs. this idiot wants to run everything from birth to grave,good luck witht the new communist leader

[volbia12]

thank you president obama. paying $1100 a month and them deciding not to cover a brain surgery to save your life is my biggest fear right now, because I have another surgery coming.

[ajack50]

fuck you and your marxist agenda and take all your czars and go to kenya we dont belive you nor do we respect you,you are a loser and quit with blaming America for mistakes that were made years ago and quit with the lies about healthcare. can you find anyone in your cabinet that hasnt broken the law,including the murderer and your friend ted kennedy

[nmryda]

lol wow! We got crazy right-wing people on here talkin' shit. You should either stand with the president as he helps rebuild America or leave and shut the hell up, lol! People like you never complained when Bush was ruining everything but wanna complain now that Obama's in office as if he created these problems!

[cliffhanger57]

A LIAR AND AN EVIL MAN HE MUST BE STOPPED

[Serioslump]

Barack Obama should be president or something (YY)

OHWAIT

He is

=D

He is NOT, however, the Anti-Christ, despite what some people seem to think ^^

[ajack50]

its not war its the invasion of our country by illigal aliens that is collapsing our nation,free welfare,free housing,free medical and they keep pouring from mexico,russia and asia. it needs to stop and we need torte reform,before costs will go down,its not the insurance companies its the trial lawyers and illigals,wake up

[GenAcidrain]

If you criticize the Messiah, you area racist, all these videos by our president is nothing but race baiting!

[FlowingToProductions]

Watch the Obama Deception just search it.

[neotoy]

It's war(s) not healthcare that is the cause our untenable budget..

[damienkurast]

A year ago it was not just the middle-east that hated America. Everyone did. Obama seemed to motivate your country to not be selfish, smug idiots. I mean America aint a great country. Most of Europe's countries got free healthcare... been like that for ages. Gang's, drugs, Obesity and other sick things havent been near as big problems here. Your the drunk guy with a gun nexdoor. Obama will save Americas former status. Unless you make yourself look stupid again by posting shit like ajack50

[edenjustin]

Thank you.. I swear, people from other country's or that live in other country's know more of whats going on then Americans do.

[RulerOFmany]

Obama's retarded. i got many names for him: Nobama, Obomber, Obama bin ladin, Osama Obama...

[OkieSlims]

Yeah... so if you apply for a job at burger king, is it illegal for them to not hire you?

Do you really get a medal for coming in last in the special Olympics?

Do you have any stickers on your helmet?

[RulerOFmany]

are you agreeing with me?

[ajack50]

odumba is also lieing about the costs, his own CBO has said this plan will not save taxpayers any money,another lie by this socialist .odumba wants to be able to control our lives and tell us whether we can live or die.he has lied about the stimulus and how it saved us from a depression,another lie.Unemployment is out of control and the odumba admin has taken over banks,car companies and financial corp. he is a socialist and wants to control everything in our live.,liar liar liar

[cooluke]

are you retarded?

[ajack50]

president odumba is a liar and has not even read the bill.we will not be able to keep our current plan that is an outrite lie.he also wants to cover 15-20 million illigal aliens.this plan will cost more than 10 trillion dollars another lie by odumba.we will have many of our coverage benefits will be gone and a government agency will decide who will get care and who will not.The elderly will be told they are too old and will not get care.odumba is nothing but a liar,go back to kenya

[dbothagoat]

I love my president but it"s not only up to him ,he has to get any thing that he does approved by congress which is made up by the same people who voted for Bush's punk ass twice, so have patience with the man and let him do his job.This is Dbo and I don't care what you think just give this man the respect and the faith you gave your last pres.He can't do any wrost. Im obama to the day i die i already know he's getting re-elected because he is going and has already begun to do great

[trogTwisted]

Sorry, The congress is made up mostly of Democrats ( The same party as Reichs marshall Obama) If you think that the scocializing of the US is doing good then this country is truly lost. Calling barry Obama a man is a real bastardization of the word. Come to think of it that would fit Obama because is is a bastard in every idea of the word.

[HassoBenSoba]

The lie and half-truths in BO's opening statement come so fast, it's impossible to address them all. At 3:26 (keeping government out of health care decisions) READ pp. 424-430 of the House Bill! (government can limit all care for ill senior citizens). At 3:40 (if you lose your job...) note that BO says: "you will still be able to HAVE coverage" (not "KEEP your coverage" as in the pas)t. READ PAGE 16 of the bill (have a lawyer handy to interpret) to catch the Messiah in yet another lie!

[yakduzi]

The UK has had FREE healthcare since World war 2, it's not bankrupt us and no one g without seeing a doctor. The reason you don't have this is that the people who own the insurance companies earn too much money from you. Wise up.

[LifeIsTrippy2008]

How come this has no views?

People wan to to be informed, people want this country to get better, but they don't watch the presidents video about health care?

WTF is going on?

[Raoullin]

A pressing issue commander! Can black people swim? and why aren't there more black swimmers? :D

[stanjz]

You can talk about war or the economy. The fact is that George Bush didn't catch Bin Laden and he got us into a war in Iraq that cost lives and money. The economy tanked on his watch. Those are facts.

[trogTwisted]

Brought the economy back from the brink?? HELL NO! I lost my job after you were elected. Your bail out was a "pig in a poke" noboby i know have got a job from it. It looks like you pissed away 700 billion . You "Will sign" ? that is a bit arrogant. I thought the congress had to pass it first? They are bailing on your deadline, Why? Because you dont have a real plan that people can see or read. No more Pigs in a poke. Deal with the things that matter. like your buddy that is rude to police

[patboy01]

dude you would of lost your job either way, doest matter who the president is.

[trogTwisted]

Well, while he was running he promised change. he said that he would fix the economy. He told us that if Congress did not pass a 700 billion stimulas plan the US would have unemployment of 10%. We gave him the presidency, we gave hime the 700 billion. And we ended up with 10% unemployment anyway. He pissed the money away. I have a lot of friends out of work as well. none of us have seen the new jobs. If he didnt lie to us then his teleprompter did.

[hilsnchad]

And you americans should be PATIENT! You were the ones who voted for that good for nothing Bush. Other nations are suffering too because of you! It took him 8 FREAKIN YEARS to screw the world up and you think it'll take any less than that to be fixed? you're kidding yourself. So give Obama a break and let the man do his job, then maybe after his presidency you can pass judgement.

[trogTwisted]

If your not a US citizen then the US President is NONE of your concern. Do we climb all over you and whine about your PM?

Countries like Russia have a legit gripe. Our so-called leaders act as we somehow should have sway over thier actions on their own security. During the Georgian war, Obama echoed Bush and McCain. On the way the US deals with the world nothing is changing, But at home he Is ruining the country with Socialism. You kiwis might like socialism, But it will make Chaos in the US.

[hilsnchad]

Kiwi? who says i'm kiwi? hah. NONE of my concern? oh boy. Haven't you ever heard the line 'when the US sneezes, [insert country] catches the cold' ? oh yeah? because countries like zimbabwae and australia have presidents who speak for the world and greedy Wall st people kicking the worlds ass. PUL-LEASE. *rolly* Who the president of the USA has EVERYTHING to do with others. Don't deny the fact that Bush is the one that screwed up your country and idiots STILL put him back in the white house.

[trogTwisted]

I am tired of hearing what the rest of the world wants. Comdem eveything the US does but when there is a tsumani or earth quake the worlds lemmings who bashed the US yesterday will set there looking sad with their hands out waiting for US aid. Stange but Obama's approvial numbers are lower than Bushes at the same period of his presidency. How can that be??? is he not the new god on earth. This fool is in way over his head, He is dommed to be a one tern wonder. After him, we may want Bush Back

[hilsnchad]

Um no, i don't think we want your aid when you can't even look after your own people when a hurricane strikes your shores *cough* bush&hurricanekatrina *cough*How can u expect so less from Bush but so much from Obama? why don't you wait till the end of his run and see the approval ratings then because that is what counts! Republicans should stop jumping down his back in every little mistake he makes & yes he's going to make mistakes over the next few years. Who doesn't?

[hilsnchad]

Some americans just can't appreciate a good thing when you see one! Maybe people see him as 'god' because he is 1000x smarter than bush and people have forgotten what it's like to have someone smart and articulate after 8 years of trainwreck.

Hmm i wouldn't be so sure about the one term wonder. However many thing you THINK he will do wrong this 4 years may mean nothing. After all, look at Bush.

[trogTwisted]

Bush was no brain trust BUT he could make a speach or answer questions WITHOUT a teleprompter. Obama shuts down if his teleprompter breaks. Anyone can be articulate if you read your speeches from a teleprompter. If you like him please take him. People in the US are often easy fooled once, but they are waking up to this slick oily 'salesman" who has no substance We can see this, maybe that is why we are the no.1 country. and your country is no. ?? who cares, if you aren't no1 then, nobody cares

[hilsnchad]

And you'd rather a president with no brains than one that does? your attempt to diminish obama's intellect is quite pathetic. oh so it takes you 6 months to label him a mistake but it took you 8 years with bush? wow. and when did rankings come in play? no such thing as country rankings! you're completely missing the point.

[trogTwisted]

I cant diminish what Obama is already lacking in. Please describe one example of his intelect. This man could not tell the truth if his life depended on it. In a speech he claimed that his uncle serving in the US Army Helped to liberate the Aushwitz concentration camp. Aushwitz was liberated by the Soviet Union. He has a talent as an actor, not real inteligence. Yeah Bush was so bad, If he had lost his first term, This country would have likely surrendered after 9/11. Examples of obama brains???

[hilsnchad]

You you're the no.1country? well if obama is such a mistake don't forget YOU'RE the one who put him in office and if 8 yrs down the track, you're stll in a hole, who's to blame but YOU?! So what does that reflect about you americans?! Stupid? i think yes.

[trogTwisted]

Excuse me, I never said that i voted for him. In fact i did not. So blaming me does not speak highly of YOUR inteligence. Yes my country IS no. 1. Even with the bad economy People break the law to enter this great land. Even as much as you claim that bush screwed thing up people by the thousands can to this land. Why would they bother if we were not no.1? This is why people outside the US want Obama. If we socicalize then we become another socialist wasteland like Austrailia

[Heeey333]

or end up like socialist switzerland which has the highest standard of living in the world.

[hilsnchad]

Obama IS intelligent, slaved his way to get where he is and wasn't spoilt by wealthy parents. Bush does not have one inch of brain cell; he failed Andover and Yale and only ever got in because..well who's gonna turn down the the son of the CIA director?

I MEANT you AMERICANS voted for him and won't even give him the chance. You let Bush wreck your country and supported his actions.

[trogTwisted]

LOL I asked you for any example of his intelegence, and you give me porpganda with no examples. Your comment of how he "Slaved" to get where he is ripe with racial engery to make everyone feel sorry for poor Obama. Obama was born into an above average family. The Cost of living in HI is higher than anywhere in the US. And many former class mates say that he was unremarkable. Interesting But Bush's numbers 5 months into his firsterm are higher than Obama's.why does the world want weak US leaders?

[hilsnchad]

And pfft,anyone knows that the only reason people(mostly asians) move to US is for their career prospects.What's it got to do with anything?! I do not need to argue US vs Australia, or any other country. But congrats, this is the type of person who feeds into the american stereotype people have; self arrogance who think everyone wants your 'american dream'.U know, American's are not rich, never were.They only appeared rich with its multiple mansions on subprime mortgage from stupid banks.

[trogTwisted]

What does that have to do with anything?? It shows the inherant superiority of the USA. People want t come fear for a better life (maybe you dont understand better career=better life) Russian Federation and The UK are tied for 2nd place in Great countries. No one ever said that we were rich, But most of the foreclosures in my region belonged to recent imigrants and poorer people who tried to live beyond their means. I am not rich by far, but I know what i can afford. with Obama itis getting less

[yakduzi]

im from the UK and I can't fathom what you're on about. Read your comments before submitting

[Heeey333]

have you ever seen his debates or interviews no

[musicxcraze]

@trogTwisted Are you stupid? HAHAHA.

[trogTwisted]

Yes me an Einstien. We are sooo stupid. this guy is such a fool he has dammaged this economy more than Bush. Hell under Bush I had a job, and was able to support my family and pay my debts. You idiots keep on whorshiping this POS and his lies. Maybe soon you will be out of a job too.

[musicxcraze]

@trogTwisted Get your facts straight, when obama went into office there was problems with the economy already, and on top of that he's basically having to 'clean up' after bush, bush started this whole mess with the war and everything, and that's what people don't understand, if bush was never in office to begin with, obama would have an easier time in office.

[trogTwisted]

I have my facts plenty straight. "WE MUST PASS THIS STIMULAS OR UNEMPLOYMENT WILL BE DOUBLE DIGIT> IF WE PASS this unemployment will not reach10%" I have news for you we are over 10% and your guy is a liar. Bush was and idiot, but the Country was better of under him. Obama is either a communist mole or he is less intelligent and competant than BUSH and that is saying alot.

[musicxcraze]

@trogTwisted Well noone can be less intelligent than bush, that's all I have to say to you, figure the rest out yourself.

[syzygy500]

@trogTwisted No you don't have your facts straight. You are either a liar or just plain dumb. What's the unemployment rate now? 8.5% and dropping. You are just ungrateful with no work ethic.

[trogTwisted]

@syzygy500 Your 8.5 does not reflect those who have exhausted their 2 years of unemployment. If you count that in you are way over 12% spin it any way you want it but those with out jobs know the score and it dooms the boy wonder to one term. No work ethic? You silly bitch i work 60+ hours a week for less money than i used to make at a 40 hour a week job just 4 years ago.

[TwinSmoke]

@syzygy500 8.5%? When was the unemployment rate this? Oh, I remember Right after Obama got elected. It's been 9% or above for the past 2 and a half years. The unemployment rate is STILL growing. Please stop talking stupidity. Thanks.

[RBLACKPEARL7]

Do not apolojize Pres. Obama, roots is over! Thanks Michael Eric Dyson and others who are not afraid to speak up for us! Rush Lumb. can call us names, talk about the President, but blacks can not talk back to white police, give me a break!

My dvd's are flying around to our young people of color helpping them stand up!

[smsalapek]

Barack Obama acting very STUPIDLY! How the heck does he know all the facts about this police case! He is out of touch and out of his mind.

[cheromask]

Yeah, well you need more than 2 big sets of balls to that job, and its more difficult if you actually care

[foshea]

Name and shame them Mr. President.

[wullebulle123]

Dear Mister President

You look tired - for a very good reason - please dont get crazy by these morons wanting to hurt you

take care

[stanjz]

Republican leadership handed President Obama a broken economy and two unresolved conflicts. Republicans wreck countries and they take no responsibility for it.

[TuxedoZombie]

why don't you just quit whining about the past

[trogTwisted]

Like Viet Nan... Whoops JFK dem. started that one. But expanding of the war...was LBJ Dem. And the war was ended by Nixion ...OMFG he was a republican .. how can that be??? It is called US history try reading it, instead of Left wing spin.

[68MUDSTUD]

Fuck Obama! ARFCOM FTW!

[Gabizzle3]

WOOHOO!

[rmbb10]

Awesome.

[brandonlamarmusic]

REPUBLICANS ARE THE ANTI-CHRIST!

[AmunRa1]

Well, in reality, the country wouldn't be the same without a bi-partisan system like what we have. What would be the point of politics if everybody thought the same thing?

[ToManyPhones]

They are!

[wullebulle123]

you got it!

[allthiseverything]

The old argument that government is bad and can't solve problems is right wing BULLSHIT. Every Republican administration, the economy has tanked, the rich have got richer and everyone else has gotten fucked while everyone is told to not trust government or pay attention to it while it FUCKS everyone over! It's about time we get UHC. We're the only god damn country that doesn't have it on this Earth! It's fucking humiliating. It's time to make government efficient, effective, and serve the people

[bootyjudie]

Yes, we can! Promote Peace & Love. I love you! Please, pass this on. xoxoxo

[ThePurpleBus]

I respect this man.

[bossanovista]

Pres. Obama speaks the truth. Thankfully.

[NickTrickste]

I think it's too early to say what will work, and what won't. I like what Obama's doing, but he's really pushing too hard to make it worthwhile. I would focus on the main problem, which is fixing the stocks so that they stop doing a rollercoaster every week. Although, this area is more important in some cases..... Gah! I don't know what to do. Do your best, president!

[KasparHauser4]

Damn! He is good!

[funwithpi]

1st

[Dall5000]

I don't think you can say any President is the best. There's been too many.

[owl4man]

Mean what you say.

[dzonetwentyeight]

Its sad that he's losing support but i know hes putting us in the right track

[wednesday55]

He isn't losing MY support. I think he's the best thing that could have happened to our country.

The man is brilliant. Give him time.

[jish55]

he does make a lot of sense, at least from what I have heard... I do hope that in the end, he has kept his word, and has done all he said he'd do.

[GarethandSarah]

His comment about helthcare being over all higher in the US isn't really fair, there are 5 times more people living in the US than the UK, and similar stats for most of Europe.

[semiliteratedgod]

GarethandSarah,

The President meant it per capita, the US spends 70% more PER CAPITA on health care than the next most expensive system in the world. It just shows the potencial for cutting costs and providing reliable health insurance for all Americans for less money!

A good reason to be optimistic about the reform.

[MagicRevealer09]

3rd barack obama rocks! best president to live

[wringowringo123]

Barack Obama is the best president and hes right and 1st comment?
