[Christiankeefer]

Looking at the comments from last year XD

[Yoshifan151]

FUCK BUSH THAT DUMB PIECE OF SHIT

[MegaKmac13]

wat a joke

[TheCoxanator5000]

my list of complaints for Obama,

you hate the United states of america,

you think that lying to the people of the United states of america is fun,

all you do is lye,

on tuseday august 2nd, before your speach, the announcement of the bill stated by the news casters "999bil-1.5tril will be taken off of the peoples taxes", you stated and promissed "2trillion dollars will be taken off" that doesnt sound right,

all you care about is getting you back into the whitehouse in 2012!

[b1ackhaz3]

oh wow really obama thousands of Americans got killed? what about 1 million civilian that been killed obama?

[MrLittletomdj]

Errrrrrr Déjà vu!!!!! He said he would get them out in 16 MONTHS

THERE ARE STILL 49700 THERE.

Now he's starting a new war with Pakistan, whilst bombing Syria and Libya.

How do you people fall for this bullshit?

He's bailed out the banks and has done nothing to stop the reinflating of the bubble, which will pop & collapse the dollar along with the global economy.

Get RON PAUL elected before this Obama or Romney fuck you so hard you won't be able to see straight!

[khalayaraja]

that's not even barack! the whole video was made using CGI.

[MrBlindzsk64]

thank you obama :)

[acdgww4x]

what the fuck is he talking about. Now he whants to end the war?? after leaving a mes in iraq where no social control is between the sunni an shia. This president is shit. #1 J.F Kennedy. All i see is what the CNN is broadcasting, but screw them, am stikking by youtube to see every thing global and then you see nothing is over.

[gunniesack]

@acdgww4x That was the promise that got him elected, To do this 3 years ago

[balfru]

ok. i feel that people intends to forget that President Obama did not promise to make everybodys life easier in a moment. he promised that in time he will change certain things. these seems to have started actually. everything starts with the firts step. then another and another. you cannot just say to the troops that oh yeah the war is over come home tomorrow. it's just cannot be like that. it's not a war movie or something. certain political steps have to be taken. don't you agree?

[BigChiefMike]

They are picking up attacks on US bases, especially smaller ones. But of course the liberal media is going to ignore it because they want to paint the picture that Obama brought peace.

[BigChiefMike]

... i'm pretty sure that the military will be there much longer than next year. It'll more than likely become like Bosnia.

... man i hate this guy, we need a real president

[admirallily]

"Sustain and strengthen our leadership"? What about the PEOPLE? 'Hey, peeps, we'll only be your friend if you do your government OUR way.'

[coolhaidar]

It's funy, around 4:00, apparently Iraqi forces are taking the fight to the insurgents, I don't hear that on the news, nether do I hear of progress, since the U.S combat forces were taking out of the cities,every day the insurgents were getting stronger, 100's of civilians die every day,but no, he believes the war is being won by the Iraqi Army/Police,if so why has the high commanding chief of the IA said stay another 10 years? There is much more to say but mainly f you fight a war do it correct

[PINGPONGPOLITICS]

Do you see the upside cross in the window panes... behind and just to the left of Obama? Secret code? Subliminal message? There's much about him that brings about the suspicion.

[admirallily]

@PINGPONGPOLITICS Umm...I think you're reading way to much into it. It's a window pane.

[PINGPONGPOLITICS]

@admirallily ...but he did go to a Catholic university where he gave a speech, but had a Christian symbol covered up behind him. Why go to a Christian school and then ask to hide a Christian symbol? I don't trust him. I guess it's obvious. I voted for him, but completely regret it.

[pataani8769]

Right? so i'm confused.. what actually came from the iraq war.. American, British.. European troops killed.. ermm.. Maybe a million innocent iraqi civilians killed mainly children.. and now the war is over.. but what was the change that allowed it to be over.. don’t get me wrong im glad its over but the way to peace is never war.. but i just think the war was unnecessary , but this is a democracy im entitled to my own opinion, right? peace guys:D

[judiekia]

To all of you naysayers, if you could really and truly do a better job you should have ran for office. Since you didn't, shut up and let the man do his job.

[admirallily]

@judiekia The country hired him to do the job and if he's not doing it the way we think then we have every right to say so. We are his employer.

[LaDyV843]

Am I the only or when obama announced that the Iraq combat mission was over, someone was clapping in the background! lol

[LaDyV843]

I just hope and pray this isn't like Bush's "Mission Accomplish" lol

[duffmckaganvr1]

FUCK OBAMA, FUCK OPERATION NEW DAWN, THE WAR IS STIll RAGING AND IT WILL STAY THAT WAY FOR A LONG TIME

[icarusdescending881]

America: Take A Dump -- Flush Obama!

[jonofthesun]

what fucking tight budget at home you stupid fuck

[pisces9597]

In other words we movin closer to the NWO. That's all he said so watch out!

[IronHorse43]

To anyone that reads my comments on this page read the last one first and come up not go down to fully understand my thoughts on all this thanks....

[IronHorse43]

And yes as many here that has commented over it all, you better bet it was over OIL and the control of it. Money has always driven Government to the brinks of insanity. And ( WE THE PEOPLE ) have always paved there road to there own success, not ours . Only rights we have is as i said . PAY TAXES, AND STAY IN DEBT till we cant go no more then our children and there children inherit it all to start it all over again and again and again. Get the picture ?

[IronHorse43]

With there money and wallets. There are some of us that are just like you . Trapped in a world where you can have the right to pay taxes and do what your told and live only because they allow it and thats it. And in constant fear that someday soon all you love and care for will be destroyed by them that control the world. Period the truth . So hopefully no bad will come to me by saying all that i have here. But truth is truth. The COMMON MAN will never have a freedom of life without torment,

[IronHorse43]

And the so called freedom of speech is only for those that says what the upper society wants to hear or your knocked down and put away for stepping on someone's toes. Truth hurts and people from the beginning of time has always had a problem with it. It's preached that we speak it , but then were damned if we do. Get the picture yet? So next time anyone feels they know all Americans and the way we are ( THE COMMON MAN) think again were not all the same or feel like the rest of them that think.

[IronHorse43]

As a people meaning the (WE THE PEOPLE ) meaning the common man like everyday people need to wake up and see just what is happening in our country. It is so unforgent that all the world views us all (AMERICANS) as dunb asses. But those of you that do have a brain in this country and as well in others , know this we are as you are in your own country . We can not change what our government is doing without a problem given to us in the proccess. Or even Harrassed or worst killed over it.

[IronHorse43]

I'm sorry but our X President (BUSH) shold have been on the front lines in the first time the first shot was fired and hopefully got what he started him self. DEATH. And no to all the word twisters here i'm not saying (I,WE,US,YOU,THEM,OURS,YOURS,M­INE,THEIRS,EVERYONE.) so with that i'm not saying in anyway as a death threat so please do not turn my words to say that i am.But this whole war was over OIL not anything else. And its about time American people know this( WE THE PEOPLE )not government

[IronHorse43]

What better way than the Media and the White House to lie and make its people believe it all. It is well known that the media has always played a great role in keeping American people in the blind and follow the lies they want us to belive and will always do so. Americans stupidity will always dominate while the media always does what the higher ups tell them to do and say. We as a people in the USA will always be blind till someone wakes up that truly cares.

[tkca25]

Translation to the citizens of Iraq: This day is way overdue. I have tried for years to cut the funding and bring our US Troops home from your stinking Country, and I have finally succeeded. That being said, let me be clear, even though I never wanted to be in your Country, we tried, you blew it, don't bother me with your peskie problems, SEE YA!! You now belong to Iran.

P.S. Blame Bush.

PP.SS: I am now going to focus on the economy and jobs like a laser beam. WINK, WINK. ;-) ;-)

[Sunnshyneone]

Iraqis will NEVER build a democracy...you people are deluding yourselves...they are a tribal culture and they do not think the way we do and half the time OUR democracy doesn't work - and this is OUR way of doing business. I hate to tell ya, but we are not doing any good business. What makes you think it will work there where there is constant tribal and civil unrest? Good luck with that...

[Sunnshyneone]

I had a daughter who served in Iraq. I am proud of my daughter but I did not agree with this war and felt it was unnecessary. Sorry to those of you who disagree, but I think we need to take care of our own country right now, and we have for the past 10 years or more. We need to build out education system, create new jobs, get back to manufacturing goods, fix our infrastructure and change our energy sources and improve energy distribution. Time to take care of the US!

[opethspd]

@Sunnshyneone

Hard to do that while having airplanes flown into buildings right?

[Sunnshyneone]

@opethspd Yeah, that happened once and will not happen again. I am more worried about OUR country becoming a Third World country - if it hasn't already.

I have been out of work for almost 2 years, have used up all my savings, burned through my IRA and I am only 46, and have NO unemployment left. THAT is more of a concern for me than what is going on in a crazy fucking country halfway across the globe.

[opethspd]

@Sunnshyneone

A third world country? The US? Are you insane? Or just stupid? If you've ever been to a third world country or even seen one...you'd realize its nothing like here. We have grocery stores, banks, fast food, roller skating parks, movie theaters, theme parks, places to work....some things that people in third world countries arent as privileged to have. So stop complaining when there are children born with AIDS and are starving in Africa and all over the globe. You're lucky.

[admirallily]

@opethspd I don't think @Sunnshyneone said we ARE a third world country, just that they were concerned of us becoming one. Big difference.

[mediaphotographer]

@Sunnshyneone Patriot I salute you. Be proud of you daughter, as a military dad, (Nam68-71). My son and daughter are Marine Aviators. Its tough being a parent with that weighing on you mind, but thats what they want to do. Be Proud, God Bless, Prayers for you and your soldier ....Semper Fi.

[yourmumisadick]

no thanks to the british?? we'll remember that.

[indiemusicgirl]

Sadly, this war is not over. President Obama doesn't talk about how there are still TONS of military contractors in Iraq and that America is keeping 50,000 soldiers in Iraq... and that America is going to kill people who are considered terrorists with drones all around the world. Unless this policy changes, what is going to keep China from killing people it thinks are Chinese terrorists that live in the United States? Do you want drone planes killing people without trial in the United States?

[DerBowmanator]

@indiemusicgirl He did actually mention something about leaving troops in Iraq. 4:40 - 5:03. Also, that part about drones killing terrorists in the United States from China, I doubt it, if we had any sort of terrorist to any country in the US then I'm sure we would take that person(s) into custody ourselves instead of waiting for China to blow them up with a drone missle. -.-

[wildyaz]

@indiemusicgirl clearly your not listening. he did say that 50,000 troops will remain until next year.

[ragnarock3000]

If your done eating at a resturant you and your family will leave. You would leave your bro and you mother to stay in wash dishes. Leaving 50,000 "non-combatant troops in. And ive seen on cnn that there training to go back. Don't believe the propaganda, do research and see if he's telling the truth. And you'll see Obama and many other presidents have a different aganda, but there just a small part of the lie.

[chowdharyz]

gud job obama

[LadyAsheful]

Congratulations America, and congratulations President Obama.

For all of our troops and the troops of our allies , saying thank you will never be enough to appreciate you. Bless yo for fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves

[cmlax999]

Thousands of Americans killed. How many Iraqis killed? A million? As usual, not even worth a mention. A broken society does not care who it kills, and it has a consequence.
