US president battles criticism and recession - 23 Mar 09

[nukedude2]

It's going to be a feral world.

[secularviewer2]

Obama - charismatic but incompetent.

[chumlee333]

Obama's mantra- Print baby print!

[teemuruskeepaa]

Obama's speech is fully programmatic. He speaks only by using tones and buzz words. It is disingenuine even if the words were kind. Lately the economic secretary used words like dangerous, arrest and combat in one speech. The politicians in America think they have the right to use buzz words to reach their political goals by affecting the stupid populous

[chumlee333]

when he speaks he reminds me of a precaher at his pulpit on Sunday morning.. that is as long as he has his teleprompter. Otherwise it's dribble.

[mrshutter77]

This ciricts are absolutely right, but the only reason why they are mumbling is becuase he is democrat & black & McCain woudl have done the same thing--these Rubpilys woudl have been defending it & democrats attacking it & al-jazeera taking the side of the democrats! Republican-Democrat--same shit!!!!

[DamNationDiplomat]

...I don't think Obama is going to fix the world or anything, but he's been in office for two months, how much has he really had time to fix!? Chances are this problem is MUCH bigger than he is, and even though I don't agree with him on a lot of things, I think it's completely ridiculously stupid to blame him for something that is clearly not his fault.

[chumlee333]

damnation- the quetion isn't how much times has he had to fix it ...it's how much time has he had to make this situation worse. the mkt certainly doesn't care for his admin so far (complete lack of confidence on wall street) and we are headed for inflation that will blow your mind once this recession is over

[DamNationDiplomat]

Well, the market has been jumping up and down for months, and even though I've been completely anti-bush since before the supreme court handed him the 2000 election, I don't blame him for it either. Inflation has been out of control for a long time because the Federal Reserve isn't regulated, not because the president is bad at his job.

[chumlee333]

damnation- the inflation we'll see after all this will blow your mind. as far as the Pres being "not bad at his job" ... To Be Determined

[chumlee333]

p.s. how do you figure the Fed reserve isn't regulated?

[zzx2847]

Funny, but Allahjazeera was Obama's biggest supporter prior to Nov. 4th.

[iron1215]

9.3 trillion dollar debt. What the hell is this guy doing. America is screwed so bad with this guy. I'll see what the stock market does next week but if it's still going down I'm selling everything. enough is enough with the guy. I had to play it back again. I wasn't sure I hear it right. 9.3 trillion are you freaking kidding me. Man we're screwed.

[MasterNemesis102]

America made up for a bad decision with Bush, for another bad decision with Obama.

[iron1215]

yeah we doubled down on bad decision. We went from warp speed to ridiculous speed into the spend our future away dept hole. Hes not content with breaking the piggy bank. He wants to grind the little pieces into dust and snort it. People are going to look back on these times and say what the hell where we thinking. Hope and change has turned into fail and blame really fast with this administration.

[jasong19711]

Obama is fixing to fuck ya!

[demorra]

This is one of the most biased reports that I have ever seen on Al Jazeera which fails to mention that Senators Shelby and Judd helped to create the Depression through their support of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.

It stead of tax cuts, the Bush Administration should have paid down the national debt with the budget surpluses that they inherited from the Clinton Administration.

The Republicans put us into a financial hole and blame the Democrats for not digging us out fast enough.

[bbnemesis123]

Are you kidding, demorra?

Congress appropriates ALL funding. Presidents can NOT appropriate any funding at all.

The so-called "Surplus" during Clinton happened, because of the DotCom boom. Congress received a large additional amount of Social Security money from the boom. The reason the extra SS money stayed around was because Congress had NOT spent it yet. The Clinton admin said that they left a surplus just to make them look good, even though it was NOT true.

[bbnemesis123]

(cont) The extra Social Security was not anticipated by Congress in their spending, so the money left a false surplus. The money just was not spent during Clinton.

Our current crisis is due to the Federal Reserve. Not Rep or Dem. The private banks called the Federal Reserve(FED) is our problem. America needs to take back the printing of money from the FED and bring printing back to federal govt. This will solve our problems in our current crisis.

[chumlee333]

bbnemesis- blame woodrow wilson for this. I agree- take it back from the Fed's- too bad that's not the trend these days. we're screwed.

[Mituhori]

they get info from ppl like assosiated press etc etc. so there really isn't full dedicated team looking into the issue. thats my opinion tho.

[shakysyxx]

border line fantasy lol

[LILUCKSMO80]

The Zionists jews stole trillions of dollars out of american tax payers during eight years of bush. I hope zionists rot in hell. For eight years, they were closing the factories, companies, and moving them to east asia, and receiving tax cuts from bush. And then they were returning those products back to united states and sell them hundred times more. I hope they get sued big time for their crimes although their powerful LOBBY WILL NOT PERMIT JUSTICE

[LILUCKSMO80]

Dont be fooled into thinking that the taxpayer bailouts were just designed to get the banks lending money again. The situation is much more perilous. Losses continue to be revealed, and Americas banking system is all but bankrupt—kept alive only through taxpayer blood.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Geithner must go

Sumners and Rubin must go

Not one more penny for banks and insurance companies!

[Nolen87]

The only way to fix this is to pull our military out of every country. Disband most of the active soldiers and pretty much just leave the country in the hands of the National Guard. Also spot spending freaking MONEY! Plus another good idea would be the destruction of the Patriot act. Oo and lowering the taxes, providing free education for heath care positions and giving us free heath care. That just MIGHT save our country. But o well.

[notscooter952]

Lower taxes and increase spending? ...I'm sorry, I must be missing something.

[jankren]

One Nation Under Obama.

God Bless America.

[WKaliberr]

Obama = Allah

[ubcphysicsyangbo]

wtf

[WKaliberr]

He is Allah

[LILUCKSMO80]

OBAMA IS ALREADY SURROUNDED BY JEWS The fact is Obama is a good and honest leader but sadly he is already SURROUNDED BY ZIONIST JEWS advisers. Those dogs use President Obama as a PUPPET and he has no power to GET RID OF THEM. JEWS ARE CANCER CELLS in the World that need to be eliminated soon. JEWS are TROUBLE MAKERS

[WKaliberr]

shut the fuck up you idiot

no one listens to your anti-Semetic rhetoric
