Is Obama Losing Control of Stimulus Message?

[cervantessssssssssss]

This corporate muppet confidently lies to the american people's faces, then immediately does the complete opposite. This gov. is out of control and have ruined the country trying to accomplish whatever their agenda is.. I think the agenda has been NWO.. but who knows.. we need to boot 'em reguardless.

[badger5566]

1:48 In the wake of an economic crisis in the state of Michigan, having the highest unemployment rate in the country, it is nice to see gov granholm still smiling and sucking up at one of nobama's cocktail parties

[DocTripp1977]

We are largely in this mess because there are alot of us who have over extended ourselves. If we get back to responsibility and start living within our own means, that is our only hope. Otherwise, we will stay on this same path. I do not agree with the big bail outs as the banks and AIG should have been allowed to fail. Just as any individual should fail if money is mismanaged.

[doublehelix999]

the new movie ' the obama deception ' shows what obama has done since being in office

is it a suprise that he is continuing all of bushes policies?

yea  guatanamo 'might' be closed but 14 more places just like it will be built inside of america

check out the movie.. it will leave your head spinning

[EllaChase]

word brotha, good to see someone else is spreading the word. But you know what is funny? I still see morons on the comment pages of the videos trying to say that there is no deception, and that we are crazy for believing it, even though, with a little research, you can see that everything they say in it is true. I really hate Obamaites.

[NHMntnHIGH]

He will never take control until he leashes Queen Pelosi

[CYLONEJACK]

The socialism/obama is hitler thing is getting retarded. The right is sounding like Mel Gibson.

[justiceserved08]

Thank's for the sarcasm, I'm busting a gut reading this silly Rhetoric, give me a break.

[umoclenad]

I think everyone just really likes the phrase

Stimulus Package

[LambJerky]

Sounds like a drug. "I'm going to inject this stimulus package."

[G0dspelronin]

I am gonna cook down this stimulus package and jam it into my veins!

[kamak894]

"They've clearly gotten you to do that." What a snide little subordinant. I feel sorry for any press syndicate that has to cover this guy. I don't think any of the W. Bush press secretaries were ever that rude. Maybe Dana Perino, but other wise, where's the "Change You Can Believe In"? Is this it???

[lorimneal]

the man's been in offce less than a month and you expect things to get better overnight?

remember who got this country where it is today. don't get mad at the dog catcher for having to clean up the shit the dog left behind.

[InfoBattleScars01]

Bush was a puppet, controlled by the corporations. Obama is no different. Ofcourse this angers me as a concerned patriotic american. I'm not going to a course because I'm pissed that the nations my fathers slaved on was sold to foreign banks.

[InfoBattleScars01]

I'm not sure you understand, man. I am with you COMPLETELY 100% on bush and neocons. But I realize there is more to it than just republicans and democrats, I see the men behind the curtain. It doesn't matter who the president is as long as long as they follow the script laid out for them by the globalist banker elite. We will have much more war, and many more bail outs. I don't even have to argue, Obama will prove all I am saying in time. I seen this shit before, it's called socialist germany.

[G0dspelronin]

nicely said Infobattlescars01. People ares so blinded by their party names that cannot see what is unfolding piece by piece. I love when people can see beyond the parties toward the real causes of war and socialism/fascism. Never give anyone too much power or they will be in control

[Unflexablegrace]

The bi party paradigm is ruining america. We need to think as people, not as parties. Pointing fingers and stereotyping just makes people look foolish, I know reps and dems and they're all the same, friends, family, and good people. If you've been convinced that liberals are to blame or republicans are to blame then you're still just blaming someone. Take a stand. We're in hard times, now is NOT the time to pick apart another.

Cheers

[G0dspelronin]

You are completely right, but certain peoples from both sides do not compromise or nor will ever. Government pays farmers not to grow food crop. Government throws obstacles in my way to keep me from working to my potential, then penalizes me with higher taxes when I do. Government makes my customers jump hurdles to improve their lives, and then punishes them with higher property taxes for fixing a damned window or door. Big government discourages growth...they want to control it and tax it.

[CHEETAH69]

You're reaching. He wasn't being being "snide." He was being matter of fact. The point Gibbs was making was that the GOP has gotten the media to be their sounding board for their dislike, distaste and dissatisfaction with the stimulus. So to answer your question, "Hell yes this is change we can believe in."

[EllaChase]

Really? change you can believe in. Watch this vid. " Obama, which one did you vote for?" and tell me what has changed.

[CHEETAH69]

It's 60 days into the presidency. I'm smart enough to know that real change doesn't happen to a nation within two months. I'm thinking you do too. But instead of using your logic and brain, you choose to feign curisiosity with the "where's the change?" Perhaps if his detractors actually waited for plans to be implemented and take effect, they'd be a little less cynical.

[EllaChase]

Yes 60 days into the Presidency, and he's already spent close to a $Trillion dollars, 21 states have threatened or have already declared their sovereignty, he broke promises to cut spending, he broke promises to let the public view bills 5 days before they are signed, he's put lobbyists into his administration after speaking so strongly against them, he's repeatedly changed his answers on his relationship with Rev. Wright. , hell ...

[CHEETAH69]

I'm an obama supporter. Not a fan. the man is my God nor is he perfect. I'm not happy with all and everything he's done. I'm a bit worried about all the money being spent. I wish that he'd stop allowing Republicans to "punk" him when he reaches out. But I see in him a smart, thinking, caring man. A man who wants the best for the country. I know also that we are dealing with an unprecedented recession, one that will require some extraordinary maneuvering. He's doing that. I gotta hope it works.

[EllaChase]

Well just keep one eye open, and be willing to think outside the box. Put your support into who you want, this is America that's your choice, and believe me i hope to be wrong and that your are right. I want this country to return to true potential of it's Greatness, but I want it to be done as truly and honestly as possible. I'm not Republican or Liberal, racially motivated, or in fear, I'm just waiting for the day that we realize that a President is not the answer to our problems, we are..

[CHEETAH69]

I don't really know what thinking "outside the box" in this situation means, but ok. I choose to place my support in him and in his policies. Why? Because I know millions are hurting right now, for whatever reason. And he has been elected to assist in getting us outta this muck. No, he can't do it all. But he certainly can be that spark for change that is necessary. And it's funny how a president can't solve the problems, but he sure can get the blame when the problems arise.

[EllaChase]

Thinking outside the box means, looking at what's going on for yourself and seeing what problems are really being solved, rather than waiting to hear about it from the News. If you cause problems you will be pointed out as doing so, just as Bush got blamed for problems,that he did help cause, so too will Obama. i'm taking it that you saw the video i suggested. Explain to me how that is the spark that is necessary, what is so different about him?

[EllaChase]

The only thing i hear from you is exactly what i've heard from his supporters from day one. You need to realize first off is this deal and these problems are much bigger than him. He's not in control of anything, He's simply the one chosen to e the spokesman of what has and will happen, it's the point i've made. He's not a savior, he's not a hero, he's a salesman. Selling the product, of other peoples agendas.

[EllaChase]

Hes green in Washington, he doesn't have experience in World Leadership, he doesn't know how to run a military, he isn't ready to decide a nations fate, a nations economic future, their military future, their foreign diplomacy, he's surrounded by people that are giving him information, and advising him what to do with it. He's not a spark, he's face, a face to put in front of the camera and justify the means of the rich and powerful, the ones who command the real authority.

[EllaChase]

People say this is crazy talk, but think about it, why in the hell would a Government that is questionable in it's tactics, let a supposed free thinking, idea having, change promoting hero, come in and 'Change' everything?  It's ridiculously naive to think that this one guy is going to come in and convince the powerful that they need to give up their power and motives and accept the change he'll bring. hes surrounded by experienced people who are leading this inexperienced leader where...

[EllaChase]

and let's face it, he's always promoted Government support in just about any damn thing you can think of, remember one thing, the Federal Governments entire existence was meant to be of that of protection for the people of America against foreign enemies, PERIOD. It was never meant to be here so it could solve all our domestic problems for us. That was up to us, and the states. Read the constitution. Read quotes from Thomas Jefferson, Lincoln, JFK , MLK Jr. etc. those are men...

[EllaChase]

that understood what this country needed. JFK said it best, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Perfect. with Obama it's all about what the country can do for you. What programs the Fed Government can provide, what safety nets they can create us. His whole time as President has been spent arguing how spending our money on the Government will make our lives better, by letting the Government solve our problems for us. I can solve my own problems.

[EllaChase]

And if my friend and neighbor can't solve their own problems, then I will lend a hand, which i'm sure their own family will do as well. Some won't be as fortunate, but that is the price of true freedom. Freedom to succede and freedom to fail.

[mbear14]

Wow, well said. Thank you. Keep spreading the message, we're getting around to some people little by little. I live in DC and the protests outside the White House increase each month, so it's a good sign! Hopefully in 2010, we can get some more congressmen and senators elected that will continue to challenge the Bush-Obama war machine.

[EllaChase]

did you watchthe video I suggested? "Obama, which one did you vote for?" if he was doing that shit then, what will stop him now? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Republican, Or a racist, or someone afraid of change. But i'm not seeing the kind of change promised. He promised change to bring honesty to washington, to rid it of lobbyists, to cut spending, to end fighting, but instead he's expanding all of this. Face it man, he's not the hero that LibMedia said he was. it's true, it's true.

[rockingout1018]

I guess obama consider's it working together when republicans give in

i got news obama...we wont

[NHMntnHIGH]

3 replublicans giving in isnt bi partisan B.O. it's more of Nancy's bull shit and her pussy boy Reid following her lead like a scurvy dog he is

[CHEETAH69]

The attempt was made to be bipartisan. Things were taken out of the bill to appease and get the backing of more Republicans. They still didn't want it. Bipartisan doesn't mean watering down your bill so much to where it looks nothing like the original just so that the Republicans can be happy. Republicans gotta understand that with them being the minority, there will be many times that bills and such won't go their way. Running to the media everytime that happens only makes them look childish.

[boxeranders]

And Obama running to the John Deere plant telling the people that lost their jobs that with this stimulas the owner can hire back people creating jobs isn't dumb!! Then the owner of John Deere comes in behind him and says that he may have to cuts jobs in his business. Man you are warped!!! Ignorant too. Keep listening to MSNBC...if the New York Times closed down MSNBC wouldn't have anything to talk about. Use your head cat, common sense is a valuable thing.

[lorimneal]

as long as you remember it was you republicans that fucked the country up in the first place.

[InfoBattleScars01]

it was the fucking lobbyists pulling shit on both sides. you're getting mad at the mcdonald's manager, go to the fucking STORE OWNER. The corporations, the bankers, the fucking wall street mafia

[lorimneal]

i'm not getting mad at anything, but you my friend, can use a few anger management courses.

[omar2garcia]

ever since sep.11 and when the war started

[rockingout1018]

too many pple in the area i reside live off the government and BRAG about it. They fake disabilities while mooching every dime they can while my parents (and me) work long hours. Yet, welfare funding is increased and all that junk.

they juss need extremely strict rules on disability claims and limit welfare/food stamps further and try harder to get them jobs.

[lorimneal]

yes, too bad they cant all be well meaning folks like enron and madoff. damn welfare recepients are sinking this country left and right....

[PleaseActNow]

Fight to stop this trillion dollar stimulus!

nostimulus.

Call your Senate office the switchboard number is 202-224-3121. go on line and get the number for your senator's local office in your home state.

Bush was wrong on the 700B bailout. And now Obama (Bush Jr.) is trying to force a 900B package. I don't care which party you support... I don't see a change. We and our kids are still the ones that have to settle the bills. Same sh*t, different day. politics as usual.

[navyman0290]

cicero747 for one THE Dem's loaded the first one up as they are this one with ear marks , also are you forgetting BUSH tried to regulate F& F 17 times and the DEMS and a few REP blocked it ? BHO and dood receiving the most funds from F & F BHO is a prime example of whats wrong with America the bail out package has nothing to do with helping AMERICANS it has to do with paying people off and making sure the votes they bought with risky loans remain

[NoLibertarians]

The stimulus has been revised and should pass by Early next week, As for the appointees, this shit always happens. No one is squeaky clean Daschle was well qualified for the job.

[siclos]

I wish Obama wouldn't use language like that, at least not on TV. I don't know what he thinks "screw" means, but in my part of the country saying that is only slightly less crude than dropping the F-bomb.

[runningoutofinc]

your part of the country needs to lighten up a bit

[PatricksTime]

time for a change...impeach obama!

[FreedomAintFree1]

Public discourse is building up.

McCain would have done this bill in TRUE bi-partisan fashion.

Outrageous.

[cffalk]

this "stimulus" package is political payback to obamas allies...period why is there money in this bill(@4 billion) for acorn?

[AnnOnimousiAm]

Obama mocks Americans who say the world won't collapse if you trim pork from the $1,000,000,000,0000 bills and gets cheers from a room filled w/Democrat Conggressmen lining their pockets with our money. I'm taking in people who have lost their jobs while these guys spent tens of thousands of our dollars on this retreat. We didn't vote you in to laugh at us & waste our money, Barrie Antoinnette, you arrogant bastard.

Open your eyes to the change. Call your senators to stop government waste!

[jondirt]

just a matter of time before he is impeached

and thrown out of office

poor fuck up

he's gonna make it harder for every other halfy to come after him

[FreedomAintFree1]

Even worse... is Biden next President?!?!

[phsyco348]

obama has clearly bitten off more than he can chew..i think they thought living in the white house would be a vacation.. from the puffiness and bags under barack and michelles eyes i suspect that health problems will end his presidency before all of his so called promises are fulfilled.. hilarious!

[idahotandj]

He is so arrogant he actually thinks everything he wants will get rubber stamped, what an idiot. I say fight him and all of you flaming liberals, all the way to hell and back if need be. You libs won't be happy until you grant him dictoral power. Just remember we thinking people own way more hardware.

[saxon6732]

Obama is using the fear tactic to push his socialist views on Americans. Most of the items in the stimulus package are for government expenses. Making the government even larger and more powerful. He is wanting to nationalize many of America's banks, businesses, and America's healthcare. All to be controlled by the government. Where government will have the people under their control.

[minicoopermadman]

I have been around a while and I have never seen such a bad start to a presidency.

[basenjib123]

Obama is simply being exposed for the fraud that he is.

[assaultcito]

Screw you.

[opAir01]

americans are funni people ..

first they gave dubya two terms to destroyed the country almost completely and they expect Pres. Obama to get rid on the problems by the snap of his fingers.

americans are the real jester in the world court ,,, LoL

[mannycomforter]

the gop has looted the economy... the gop keeps this up...they will end up on a iland... the people is sick of them... obama will have his way... republicans will keep losing seats... gw and his goons are done!

[marniespeaks]

He's not losing control - it's the media that's bashing the President

[assaultcito]

Republicans had no problem spending shitloads of money for bush but they deny Obama? What fuckin Pricks.

[xXArawanXx]

You do realize that the Democrats can pass this without the Republicans right? There reason why there is doubt is because the Republican are raising two very important questions: what is going into this bill and how will it stimulate the economy? If it doesn't create jobs or jumpstart the market, it shouldn't be in the bill. It's so full of pork now even other Democrats won't vote for it, at least Bush had the intergerity to say no to his own party over such ear marks...

[Tman222]

You use Bush and integrity in the same sentence?!?!? Where was Bushs' integrity in 2001 when the DOD 'can't account for' 2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS...in one year alone!!!! (they just misplaced it???)

watch?v=13zCc9JW_wI

Give me a fkkn break! Bush will be known as the WORST president in USA history.

[runman1271]

Obama lies: Out of Iraq on his first day Close Gitmo on his first day No lobbyists Obama said he had a stimulus bill to introduce Post all Bill for 5 days before signing Obama said he would "create" new jobs, now he says create or save. Obama has lost over 600,00 jobs since becoming President. Bush maybe the worst President ever, but soon the wost trophy will be given to Obama. Bullsh@t we can believe in. Change and Hope.... Nope Obama's a Dope

[HaloedG]

Yeah right...dream on.

[xXArawanXx]

You can find that throughout all modern presidency since jimmy carter. The bureacracy is the leading cause to such unaccounted for money, the billions sent to Indian Reservations that no one know what spent one alone are mind boggling. By intergrity I was refering to ear marks and pork. Bush said he would veto a bill the dems fattened up and when it passed without him, he ordered his departments no to use the funds.

And history usually has a different perspective then the one at the time.

[Eldel15]

Silence peoples OBAMA WILL LOSE REPUBLICANS WILL WIN and there is nothing in the graps of your powers to stop it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! dsfipojhdspfhjfphdspf

[alvictory]

Dems and reps should think beyond their parties to fix this economy.

[DrAznmuff]

when he says, "i made a mistake," does he mean hiring people that didn't do what he wanted to do...? i hope not.

[kybutler]

Thank you for sharing this video, it is very nice~ I am so proud of our new president and pray often for God to lead, guide and protect him. I believe that President Obama will be a great president for all Americans. I am amazed by his humbleness and I am proud to be American. It is my vision that our Country will move in the right direction in rebuilding so much that has been taken for granted~ together we made a different "Yes we can" and with the grace of God "Yes we did"

[Kuraymo]

There are always riders on every sing piece of legislation that passes through the house or the senate, this is no different. Deal with it or make it closed

[DMTTRIPcom]

end the drug war #1 issue in america on both change . org and whitehouse . gov!

[Drstrangelove17]

I love how the republicans are screaming about how it's wasteful spending, but then passed the bailout with very little questions or shouting. It's just Obama now and not Bush.

[utubefavorsdems]

Obama will fail America in 2009. Please don't say that Bush already failed America! The last time I checked,Obama is the president now.

[Drstrangelove17]

Bush did fail America. He wasted and ruined his time in office beyond repair. And now republicans are still keeping in this old rut.

They're the only one kicking up a fuss about TARP because it actually helps people.

Greedy bastards.

[siclos]

Actually the republicans stopped the original bailout bill. 67% of the republicans voted against it. Pelosi complained that the republicans didn't deliver the votes they promised. After it failed the first time, Pelosi porked up the bill, and some oversight demanded by fiscal conservative republicans was added but 54% of the republicans still voted no. The democrats passed it with 72% of their votes, supplying 80% of the votes it needed to pass.

[Drstrangelove17]

hmmm. I do believe I may need to do more research on it then.

[karinablack]

zomg i love his tie :D

I hope Obama can keep up the momentum!

[1tonan]

so .... what exactly is the stimulus?

[phonixwk79]

to put money in politicians pocket

[1tonan]

lol , like everything else these cunts do then eh? , nah i believe in obama , people just need to give the man time , hes inherited a fucked up america / world , lol

[whllad6]

Come On ! Obama! Go!GO! GO! You can do it. Fix it!

[arequipa1]

ummm, it's a little more complicated than obama "fixing it."

[reignofhope]

first
