  • What did we expect from a community organizer? A community organizer!!! That's only one step up from collecting trash, or working at McDonald's. But guess what, he didn't even do that. What's scary about BO is not him so much. Losers come and go.  What's scary is the number of uninformed, ignorant, idiots that voted for the guy.

  • "Socialism for the rich" is basically the only type you will actually find. It's really "first world socialism" which means that in Europe and N.A. we are all bourgeoisie so the job and poverty, and therefore according to Marx the ability for popular uprising against capitalism, of the proletariat have all been transferred to the 3rd world. Example; Norway, distributes wealth stolen from the third world equally amongst its own people then turns around and passes racist immigration bills.

  • @pythag123

    thats a really interesting point, I never applied the rules of socialism etc. to a global perspective. Globalism hard at work!

  • The Repuklicans are the socialist rich. Notice how nobody talks about what the trillion dollar tax for fucks that didn't need it at all by GWB and how it contributed to the unreal federal deficit that they cry about every single day now.

    Repuklicans=Hypocrites & Liars

    The only thing worse then a Democrat is a Repuklican.

  • This was the most enlightening view of the economic situation I had ever seen to date. Although I do have some questions. 1st. If the Government were to use AIG as a colateral tool to create leverage against wall street, wouldn't the opposition and special interest cry 'socialism'? 2nd How can this proposal be sold to the American people without a brewing Mcarthian sentiment thats brewing in Washington and the Media? 3rd Wouldn't Goldman loose financial hegemony if we had hedgefund reform ?

  • Comment removed

  • Republicans were right, he is a socialist FOR THE RICH

  • Republicans are socialist FOR THE RICH

  • the rich are chameleon

  • The simple solution would be to repeal the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act. That law signed into law by President Clinton on November 2nd 1999 is the biggest contributor to the economic crisis and the ailing economy.

  • Heard about that I think that would help us on our way to a better situation for sure.

  • All show No substance.

  • elected by the banksters they waited until the American people where totally pissed off. These are all impostors and bad actors...  screw them all!

  • Socialism for Corporations!

  • Joe Biden has an ugly tuft of hair on the back of his neck. Its sticking out. His barber should be fired, ASAP.

  • Obama's full of shit! He'll just say all the things people want to hear and expect him to say, then he'll as usual do nothing. Fuck this lying sack of shit, this status quoer! I don't believe a word out of his mouth. Obie is one shrewd, lying, politician. Say all the things the sheeple want to hear so that you get your poll numbers up, then forget what you promised and the sheeple will forget the broken promises due to their short attention spans. Sheeple are so easily distracted & manipulated.

  • @JixMa Not that I want to defend Obama in any way but... What makes him different from any other politician? You could replace his name on your statement with almost any other politicians name and describe the same conduct.

  • @Marco81MX What makes Obie dif from any other politician? Um, perhaps promises he made he was going 2 do things differently than his predecessor GWBush & change status quo. Said he was going 2 give MidClass & poor a better deal b/c they've been systematicaly been taken advantage of by rich, powerful & connected that hav rigged system 2 benefit them. Obie portrayed himself as a man that cared & would be the champion of the average guy. Has he? No. He's a traitor 2 those that believd his bullshit.

  • @JixMa true...true..

  • Seems to be a little late. It is like making arson a misdemeanor after somebody already burned down the entire city. 2 Trillion is already gone? He already about finished off the dollar.

  • Better late than never tho.

  • Compare present events with the savings and loan crisis of the 1980-1990s.

    wikipedia org/wiki/Savings_and_loan_cris­is

    1. real estate bubble

    2. legislation widening the risk allowed banking without, at the same time, limiting public exposure (FSLIC insurance)

    3. The slowdown in the finance industry and the real estate market may have been a contributing cause of the 1990-1991 economic recession.

    If they win the bet, they profit, if they lose the tax payer pays.

  • so, Paul Jay is getting paid to do these interviews.

  • We've been here before.

    The second Glass-Steagall Act (the Banking Act of 1933) was a reaction to the collapse of a large portion of the American commercial banking system in early 1933.

    Provisions that prohibit a bank holding company from owning other financial companies were repealed on November 12, 1999, by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

  • could the real news please lower the quality of the videos. there's so many and i want to watch them all, but it's spping my bandwidth and my last bill had alot of overages. i can't afford an unlimeted badwidth package and the poor should be able to be informed aswell.

  • When is the Real News Network going to interview someone from the Austrian School of Economics?

  • @TTBurner Who would you like to see?

  • I would like to see a much more in depth investigation into our Judicial Branch of government - specifically why there have been absolutely no criminal indictments against these treasonous and felonious criminals in both our Congress AND the Banking industry.

    Isn't that their job?

  • @TheRealNews Marc Faber is always quite colorful.

  • @TheRealNews

    Oh please don't go for Austrian school people. As much internet-hype they been getting, it would be terrible to hear from people who want the economy be the 1800s again.

  • Thanks for your reply!

    Tom Woods, Joe Salerno or Lew Rockwell would be great.

  • Only fools still believe Obama

    bought and sold by Goldman Sachs

    he's just a better liar than Clinton and Bush

    his own SOT Geithner is against his reforms

  • The US Constitution Never Established or Provided for any Private Banking industry. Private bank credit currency AKA Bills of Credit was condemned in the constitution and never allowed.

  • The Federal Reserve Note - Funny Money since 1971

    International Fraud and Racketeering

    Fiat money destroys countries without mercy all fiat money ends when it resets to its original value 0.

    The first symptom of the reset is when the paper can't hold value against gold. Federal Reserve Note = illegal currency since 1971 with full international co-operation. FRAUD

  • the funny thing is you can only see one of Joe Biden's hands...;-))) The other one is in a deep dark place(no racial pun intended).haha

  • "They could use AIG to start underwriting insurance for small businesses, for homeowners [...] but they have refused to do that because they want to protect the prerogatives [...] of Wall Street"

  • In the XIXth Century, as millions of Irish people starved while the British colonial masters were busily exporting many tons of food from Ireland, the British Prime Minister said they would not divert food for local use since "There must be no interference with the natural course of trade" [Source: Thomas Gallagher, Paddy's Lament, ]

  • @NicosNicosNicosNicos We won't interfere with British trade if they don't interfere with our right to live freely in our own land.

  • @badger5079

    because if they do you'll have another tea party?

  • The Irish like tea but the Irish famine was hardly a party.

  • I smell more BS!

  • nice purple tie nig :)

  • Joe Biden is really running the show...

    What arrogance....what total bullshit. These guys have gotten away with this for so long,...they are becoming careless.

  • The investment houses are primary dealers they dont need acces to discount window to fund speculation, manipulation of markets. The only way to solve this problem is to audit the FRB.

  • The huge ones in every market, can totally skirt the marketplaces limiting factors.

  • Dont forget also alot of key positions in regulatory agencies are filed by ex employees of the big banks too.

  • Its too much of a coincidence for me that Obama "gets tough on banks" only after Dems lose supermajority in Senate and lobbying restrictions have been loosened by supreme court.

    The main cause is the Federal Reserve and Obama never touches on this because he knows who his masters are.

  • He was swinging what?

  • don't judge obama by what he says, judge him by what he does.

  • so give a speech to gain support, do the opposite...then give a speech to redo the job you didnt do in the first place...get support...repeat?

  • Our 'leaders" have misjudged our intelligence.

    people know whats up..

  • @zoticus1 ....... totally agree withat

  • People know something is up.

  • Presidents are like a box of chocolates......

  • @ahblisschris... yeah, youd never know what script they're going to read next

  • you ALWAYS know what you are gonna "get"

  • AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT SEE THIS?

    PANIC OF 1907 part deux - is this NOT OBVIOUS?

    OMFG - If it were any more transparent it would fry your brain.

  • @PsyogiBottoms  Tell us about it

  • @PsyogiBottoms

    No you're not the only one. ^^

  • Thank God - I thought I woke up in the invasion of the body snatchers.

    SOiLIENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!

  • Seriously, Obama sounds like a wind up doll. Yak, yak, yak. He gave all your money to all the big financial institutuions and now he's making another campaign speech. Does anyone really believe he's looking out for the little guy?

  • Yeah, you know - between Edwards, Clinton and Obama - we really didn't stand a chance did we.

    What amazing actors - seriously, shouldn't we be nominating these fuktard traitors to the Oscars?

  • I remember Marlon Brando saying "everyone is an actor"; on giving examples he mentioned politicians as not particularly good one.

  • LOL I like your way of thinking!

  • I suppose that is why this one is particularly dangerous. A good acting politician - OMFG  - we in for it now.

  • Bank charges , lending out our money creating wealth for themselves off our incomes and celibrate they make millions- they lost it we bailed them out and now they want higher wages

  • wow did u see that laugh at 56 seconds? What a joke these morons are!

  • Banks and the MIC run Washington - Obama is just a president - a figure head -- a political figure of the Oligarchy that US has become.

  • This whole thing sounds great, but I dont trust anything this magician says. Look over here look over here, then bam, gold n sacs are in the money,lol. AIG btw doesnt risk tax payer money. Any one know the trick here?? I still say go for it though, lol.

  • we'll see how far this goes.. nothing is simple in washington or for the banksters.. this is all a pipe dream on obama's part.

  • Great coverage Mr. Jay, well played.

  • It's more than political posturing, it's a head fake. Look for a move in the opposite direction. The adminsitration has to give them something in return for taking something away, even something as meaningless as this. It won't be announced.

  • If it's not the banks crashing the system it will be something else, this is capitalism after all and there is nothing stable or safe about it - regardless of how much you regulate it, you can't change its fundamental nature unless you overthrow it and replace it with a new socialism.

  • first glimpse of a promise fulfilling for Obama!?

  • @Mendelevium146

    Seriously, contrary to Popular Belief, Elephants do not like to Fly .

    it's a big push to get the credit to drop back down among us and out of the margins...
