Encouraging Long-Term Fiscal Responsibility and Reform

[TheMattd546]

1 TERM PRESIDENT, WE ALL INCLUDING ME GAVE HIM A CHANCE, I WAS PRAYING THAT HE WOULD TURN THIS WORLD AROUND, INSTEAD CREATED MORE DEBT THEN BUSH IN ONLY 3 YEARS, WHEN HE TALKED BAD ABOUT BUSH, HE'D SAY "WE CAN DO BETTER" YEAH LIKE ADDING ANOTHER 4 TRILLION TO THE DEBT, THANKS OBAMA, BUSH WASNT BAD AFTER SEEING OBAMA IN OFFICE, thanks bush you did work harder then america and I thought, god bless you bush for the hell you had to deal with, for someone to knock it down and then do much worse!

[GusCollias]

SIMPSON HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY VOCAL IN HIS CONTEMPT FOR SSA, AND EXPLICIT IN HIS INTENTION TO DEFAULT ON ALL OBLIGATIONS OWED TO THE SSA TRUST FUND BY THIS GOVERNMENT...WALL STREET RAIDS AND WALKS...BUT THE "STRONG REPUBLICAN" WILL INSIST THAT PLUTOCRATS BE HELD ALOOF FROM ANY AND ALL TAXES..AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS "TOUGH CHOICES" WILL DEVOLVE UPON THOSE WHO ARE LEAST ABLE TO SUSTAIN THEM...AND BARACK NOW RETREATS INTO A CITADEL OF SILENCE...SIMPSON HAS TO GO.

[Duffman1096]

The same man the quadrupled the deficit is now preaching fiscal responsibility. I think after NASA's done counseling muslims. They should calculate how large this man's ego is.

[gjtek2003]

what a joke! Obama has caused this mess we are in.

[joebidensanass]

In November, hit the reset button.

[TalentlessNoob]

lol Obama is a joke he dont care about us he's not even an american he needs to go back to kenya where all those mokneys belong Obama want a banana???

[groundhog2008]

President Obama, I dont see how we can start saving money now, when people are losing their jobs, losing their health insurance. Children are eating poorly, and exercising less!! I believe that now it the time to spend more, investing in the prosperous future of America!! AMERICANS WANT, AND NEED HEALTHCARE REFORM NOW!!!! We need to get it done, with, or without repubican support!!!! People are losing their jobs and healthcare. My unemployment checks will run out in April!!

[frankiegmh]

@groundhog2008, I dont see how we can keep spending. I think Obama is as liberal as they come and he is saying we need to control our spending. Think of it like this, if we keep polluting and detroying the earth then there will be no earth left for us to live in. If we keep spending and creating a large dept there will be no money left to pay it back and are economy will not be bad it will be gone. We will be a third world country instead of an economic power. We will become Russia in the 90s.

[stan469]

Barack Obama is a disgrace, and I hope that he will be impeached.

[SuperboyXX0018]

Barack Obama is the last and worst evil tyrant this world will ever see.....the death!

Martial law will be declared in 2010, holocaust will proceed.

[travel1949]

LIAR!!!!!!!!! YOU put us in this MESS

[ShaithMaster]

wow you honestly believe that? that he put us in this mess? if you knew anything about economics you would know it takes YEARS to create such an awful situation and YEARS to fix it. im assuming a propaganda fuck like glenn beck told you that

[adminwrh]

@ShaithMaster - How many years? 4? 8? How about taking it back to the death of fiscal constraint when we went off the gold standard in 1972? The entitlement culture that gained momentum in the 60's? The massive growth of the federal government in the 1930's ? This shit has been a long time coming and it's simplistic to blame any one president or put words in the mouth of a talk show host we've never listened to.

[dantheleo]

@lowbottomranch - I am sure the Republicans are grateful for your support. Considering that the Congressional Republican majority worked well with Bill Clinton to balance the budget. If you remember correctly the Congressional democrats turned there back on Clinton because he moved to the center instead of continuing his far-left agenda, such as Hillary Care. This is another example that Republicans are open to working with democrats when it's for the good of the nation.

[dantheleo]

Your assessment is blatantly false. Republicans didn't support it because the commission would waste millions and all a commission would do is tell obama to STOP SPENDING! Yet obama bashed John McCain during the election for wanting to create a Fiscal Commission and called it "Just passing the buck" and the old way of politics. Now he is doing exactly what John McCain suggested along with many other of his new plans. Why wouldn't he, Jonh McCain is the most liberal Republican in the Senate.

[MrTabby5000]

Obama is destroying our capitalist country for a socialist communist one.He needs to be impeached.

[BeAnAgeLabs]

Good, good.

[Staticnz]

I think people attacking Obama on the debt really underestimate just how bad things were when Obama came into office.

You really think that if the crisis hadn't occurred the deficits would be anything like this?

That would defy sense, and describe only the most conspiratorial theories...which many naturally gravitate towards anyways it seems.

[MrTabby5000]

@Staticnz

Obama already spent 3 trillion dollars.

[Staticnz]

Yeah but it isn't like he has spent all that for no reason. I could admit that a certain amount of that would be pork or peripheral, but a large chunk of that is as a reaction to the deficit, and also libs are of the opinion that spending helps deficits. That's just your usual political bickering.

[MrTabby5000]

All that money was given to people who will actually spend it,That isnt creating jobs,giving tax cuts to wealthy like paris hilton creates tons of jobs,Thats supply side economics.The wealthy creates jobs>No poor man created anything job ever.

[Staticnz]

Is that a serious argument or are you just being silly.

[MrTabby5000]

how do you explain the bush prosperity?

[Staticnz]

That it was essentially an illusion, just a bunch of rich folks getting high on their own supply.

And when you say 'bush prosperity', what do you mean? Prosperity for who? And if it was so prosperous why did it all come crashing down while he was in office?

[MrTabby5000]

it crashed on barney frank that gay congressman and the democrat majority.

Whats wrong with rich people getting prosperity,the unemployment rate was 4%,that 4% were the welfare recipients.

[Staticnz]

You make the most simplistic arguments I've seen, I'm pretty sure Barney Frank wasn't in control of absolutely everything, even if he shared part of the blame.

The 8 years of Bush just didn't happen right? Bush never passed anything in his 8 years it was all the democratic congress?

And how would you know what percent of the unemployed collect benefits. Puh-lease, your argument is totally fraudulent.

[MrTabby5000]

the years of prosperity were because of republican congress from 2000-2006,2006-now run by the democrats is when all the jobs were going away.Just look at history. Obama needs to release his kenyan birth certificate.

[Staticnz]

I have concluded that you are insane.

The boom of unemployment also MAGICALLY coincided with the tail end of the Bush presidency. Care to explain?

Once again, it is not true that Bush and his policies had no impact on anything, considering that republicans like to ram policies through like crazy, and democrats are too cowardly to push their agenda through.

[MrTabby5000]

unemployment started when the democrats took power in the house in 2006,the senate was barely a majority of democrats and the jobs left.the multinational employers seen socialism coming.

[groundhog2008]

@Staticnz I wouldnt call Democrats cowards. They are just too cautious I believe. I dont know where these radical repubs live. Everyone I ever talk to absolutely loves our President and First Lady!! I do hope our President does not give up on giving us our Healthcare Reform. Children are suffering because of government inaction to give everyone living in America equal access to quality healthcare!! Government involvement in job creation!!! Quality lunches for our children, etc...

[adminwrh]

@Staticnz - Spoken like a true partisan. Everyone loves to blame the president as one name is easier on the brain than the 541 Congressmen and 100 Senators that actually control the purse strings. Bush pushed some foolish policies, but was only a cog in the government machine. Most would be hard pressed to specify WHICH policies Bush promoted, which policies caused the damage and which branch of the government promoted those policies. It's a shame we reduce our complex society to scapegoating.

[Staticnz]

@adminwrh it is foolish to not realize that the president sets the tone for all of Washington, i.e. how hard the congress-people push for things and what they push for (Obama didn't back them up for the public option so it was lost, he didn't push for a lot of things he could have encouraged the congress and senate to do).

The congress pretty much followed the Bush agenda during his presidency. Even under a democratic house the congress and senate backed up many, many Bush ideas.

[5nickeldoor5]

@adminwrh Obama wanted the republicans to get out of the way.I remember that speach.Bush did wrong & but Obama multipied them. He is nothing but a con man. I will alway remember him overseas apoglizing for the USA . He did nothing to make things better only worse. His friends and union buddies are behind what is happening in the middle east. Now they want us to arm up rising when they don't know who they are. Are we giving weapons to same people who are killing our military.

[adminwrh]

@MrTabby5000 I dislike the philosophies of Pinko Barry as much as the next guy, but you birthers really need to give that one up. Even if he was born in Kenya, his mother was a US citizen that met the residency requirements for Barack to be a natural born ciitizen. I'm constantly amazed that no one has looked that up.

[dantheleo]

Great, now obama is going to waste millions more on a committee to tell him to stop spending. Even Congress knew how ridiculous this committee is and voted against it. As for when obama walked into the W.H. he as a Senator voted for every spending increase proposed or implemented by the Bush administration. Also, senator obama sent the W.H. two letters criticizing for not spending enough! So I guess that makes obama equally responsible!

[DivineLove100]

Obama! Please be the kindest President of the world! Am sure that you are going forward to that aim in accordance with all the politic issues...

[JoseTwitterFan]

The National Commission On Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.

It's The Death Panel, For Debt!

[sdfghhtryu67]

@JoseTwitterFan reasons why you say that

[JBBlitz]

History repeats itself both partys are failing and civil unrest will happen if things get worse and than millions dead in the result of this happening, the government better straighten up if they don't want this to happen. we will be in late 1800's again.

[slanker786]

i wish usgay ends up in economic ruin

[ReliableInsider]

Republican Senators who CO-SPONSORED a bill to create a deficit-reduction commission and then voted AGAINST the proposal Obama made to create a deficit-reduction commission:

Senators Sam Brownback (Kan.),

Mike Crapo (Idaho),

John Ensign (Nev.),

Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas),

James Inhofe (Okla.) and

John McCain (Ariz.)

Republican flip-floppers.

The seventh, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, had to miss the vote . . .

for personal reasons.

[ReliableInsider]

Republicans claim to be conservative.

Then, when Obama actually starts getting to work on finding places where the federal budget can be cut, incumbent Republicans run for the hills.

[harleymaster63]

You Right Wing Nuts are a trip. A Bad trip on LSD. Seven (7) Republicans CO-SPONSORED Legislation in the Senate to establish a Commission to find ways to deal with the DEFICIT. A deficit they could care less about. Reagan increased that defict by 189%. Suddenly your idiots are just soooo worried about that deficit. President Obama agreed with forming the Commission. The idiotic Party of NO! Republicans voted against the very legislation they Co-Sponsored. And you think they are leaders?

[harleymaster63]

In 1981 GM came to the Union wanting to reopen the contract. Reagan's trade policy with his Jap Buds was eating GM's lunch. They were dumping cars in this country at less than cost. We agreed to take concessions in return for three things. 1. We wanted training for "their" workers. 2. We wanted some control of the quality of "their" products. 3. WE WANTED A PROGRAM TO DEAL WITH THE DEAD BEATS "THEY" HIRED! In the first year we fired 145 people from my plant who only worked 4 days a week.

[harleymaster63]

memoo, why don't you carry your fat ass down to a UAW Local union and ask to see their Local Agreement. Look up the wage scale in that agreement. The factory I came out of pays a seniority assembler $18.75 an hour. It takes 5 years to get to that pay scale. And why shouldn't they make that money, the CEO makes $850.00 an hour. Your anger is misdirected. If those workers take a pay cut it is eventually going to trickle down to your pay. Voodoo Supply Side Economics. Workers take pay cuts!

[harleymaster63]

It is amazing how many of you actually have swallowed the Right Wing garbage about how much better off you would be if your neighbor would just take a pay cut. What a bunch of bullshit! Stand up for your rights in the workplace. Quit carrying water for the boss man. Union workers want the Company to be successful and they were until the Bosses got greedy and refused to adjust to the demands of the Marketplace. And the Marketplace is better off with a strong Middle Class Working America!

[harleymaster63]

memamoo, Unions are PEOPLE. People who join together in Free Trade Unions to negotiate seniority right, better working conditions, safe and healthy workplaces, and Constitutional Rights in the Workplace. When the boss told me about his new Cadillac, I told him about my new Chevy. When he went to Europe on vacation, I went to Disney World. I belong to a UNION. In the 60's women worked next to me wearing hot coveralls and making less money. The UNIONS stopped the companies from doing that!

[slanker786]

@harleymaster63 they want to quash the unions to enslave the people. unions represent the people so brainwashed capitalist bums think they are bad for no given reason. the government is worried about any body that makes the people think, and any body that represetns the people. because they EMPOWER THE PEOPLE! support our unions

[harleymaster63]

memamoo, do you ever read your comments before you hit that Post button. You sound like an idiot. Talking in drivel.

For your information, I earned my pension. So naturally MY UNION is suppose to protect my pension. Back in the 50's the COMPANY proposed pensions. They wanted to take care of their employees. The UNION encouraged them to pay more to SSI so every American could retire with MORE money. The Corporations REJECTED that idea. My Pension is MY money and I PAY TAXES on it.

[harleymaster63]

Oh, and Deeked, I don't believe the government of We the People conspired to create 9/11. But Bush went on a month long vacation 8 months into his office and ignored the warnings. In his 8 years he took 15 months of Vacation. Said he gave up golf in honor of the troops and then was caught on camera playing golf afterwards. I don't believe in conspiracy, but I do believe in stupidity. The underwear bomber is singing like a bird, and we have the CEO of Al Quada in custody. Feel safer?

[harleymaster63]

Hey, I got to share some great news. I retired from GM and I get an online Retirees News letter. Seems GM is tooling up for a new fuel efficient engine that affects four different plants. It will increase employment by approx. 11,150 new UAW members. Americans are starting to Buy American again. Can you imagine how many mom and pop small business this will help in the areas around these factories? If we could just get more Americans to label shop and support Made in the USA we can have JOBS!

[memama2]

harleymaster63 = how much DEAD WEIGHT? ..are you car companies and those dunce of the universe unions who voted for you to get ?90?%percent pensions? EVER able to EVER make a Profit again? ... the UNIONS KILLED THE CAR COMPANIES....and they donated heavily to socialist Obama so he would "bail them out" ....... If the Unions in this country keep being the SUCCUBUSSES they have become? And the Union bosses encourage that ridiculous PAYOUT to continue? It means you can NEVER RETIRE ANYONE =EVER!

[harleymaster63]

Deeked...Maobama? Why that is really intelligent there for a guy who probably voted for Adolf Bush twice.  Gee, maybe President Obama is getting ready to set up a Communist government in this country. Are you really dumb enough to think that could happen? Corporate Facism yea, but Communism? Facist Germany was run by the corporations for the corporations. Communism will never come to America. Don't be ridiculous.

[harleymaster63]

Deeked, you mean you would rather go back to, "is our children learning?', "Fool me once, and I will always be a fool, or something like that." or "Ob/Gyn are wanting to practice their love for women all over this country!? I must really tweek your gonads to know that a tall, confident, educated, intelligent, BLACK man is called the President of the United States and the Commander in Chief of the US Military. And he was sworn in on the steps of the US Capital which were laid in place by slaves.

[harleymaster63]

Well, Deeked, I don't know how much you travel America's highways but you can find signs everywhere that say, "Funds Provided by the AR&R Act". And cops, teachers, & firefighters kept their jobs, too.

So, what would have been the better choice? To let the country go into the Greater Depression? During the first one millions of miles of rural roads were paved and the TVA was created that electrified rural America. That grid needs to be rebuilt. Let's get to work doing it. Stop the bitching.

[Deeked]

In December 2009 the Obama Administration announced they had saved or created 1.1 million jobs.

In January 2010 the Obama Administration announced they had saved or created 2 million jobs.

[memama2]

Deeked = saved or created 1 - to 666 FruadGillion Jobs! ........ its Liberal Magical Math that the O!Crap! Obama Administration is going to begin announcing (its the only way to avoid any actual "numbers")

[harleymaster63]

freedomrings, my grandson works at a video store. In order to get a job there you have to pass a written test with a 70% or better score. He says that 90% of the people who apply can't pass the test. Should they be the one we appoint to figure out the problems in this country? We have a real abundance of knuckle dragging morons They ignored the deficit from Reagan who increased it by 189% to Bush 2 with 89%. Now they hate Obama? Could it be his race instead? Don't worry, be happy & broke!

[Deeked]

@harleymaster63 I would bet you just about anything that Maobama couldn't pass that test.

[memama2]

@Deeked = don't let some old coot with delusions of THE CAR INDUSTRY? ..coming back to glory under those crippling union rules = mock your spelling or calling Odumba (or is it Yomama?) names! The guy now? HAS A FAKE NAME ....he is really Barry Soetoro .....and he has about 25+ different Social Security Cards(the one he has now? a dead man from 1890) and another thing! The old Libs and Dims? Always become the grammer and spelling police. When YOYO is "threatened" by any TRUTH coming out about him

[Deeked]

Back in 2006 there was a poll indicating that roughly 1/3 of the American public felt that the federal government had something to do with aiding or abetting the 9/11 attacks.

Today a CBS/New York Times poll indicates that just 6% of Americans believe that Obamas stimulus spending spree has created jobs. And theyre right, but that hasnt stopped the Obama administration from claiming millions of jobs created anyway. As Jim Hoft points out:

[harleymaster63]

Gee, freedomring, according to what I have read Pres. Obama kept some of the guys that Bush appointed. Said he did it because he thought they were smart. You telling us that they were actually as dumb as Bush? Wonder what would have happened if Bush and Obama hadn't done something to stop the economic crisis? Would it have been worth the pain to find out? My daughter in law kept her school teaching job because of the AR&R Act. Guess her kids don't count? What if McCain got elected? War?

[harleymaster63]

There are no athiest or gay people in a fox hole. It was a joke, son! I read the ignorance of the neo-con comments on these videos and I write something sarcastic in response. You can't get mad. It isn't going to change the world. I spent 4 years in the Navy during Vietnam putting bombs together. I never got them back. When me and my buds took a shower and if I dropped my soap, I kicked it in the corner before I picked it up.  I don't support Don't ask, Don't tell, It is stupid.

[MrLetfreedomring]

YeaH! Lets appoint some 'long-timers' that have been in DC for awhile so they can help us with fiscal responsibility.........why would you appoint part of the problem to figure out whats wrong? You could go to a 3rd grade class .....well maybe not in DC, but other parts of the country, and they can tell you that 1 + 1 = 2, not 1 (for me) + 1 (for you) = 3.....give me a break....Obama is a one termer!!!

[harleymaster63]

And remember, Dems, when you do away with "Don't ask, Don't tell" that will apply to Republican Senators who have to travel through airports. It isn't fair to make our straight soldiers duck bullets in a fox hole with some queer in uniform while making a big deal out of some old guy with a wide stance in the stall. Re-instate the draft. Make poor kids in this nation fight to keep it safe for the wealthy. Ain't fair to have all these lazy idiots walk around with their "pants on the ground".

[Stillahills]

Gays are already in the military, they shower in the same bathrooms as straits, they eat at the same tables, they sleep in the same rooms.

Wake up please....

[harleymaster63]

We don't need fiscal responsiblity, we need physical responsibility. Get off your fat ass and go to work. They are having a jobs fair at the stadium. They need ticket takers, trash pickers, seat wipers, and toilet cleaners. Pay starts at $7.15 w/o benefits. Line up at the fence and the boss will choose who he wants. If you all apply together you will make enough money to find a place to live. 4 Rent Used Single Wide Trailer. No pets inside and only children old enough to work. $800 a month!

[harleymaster63]

Hey, let's save lots of money. Let's do away with the American Military. We can outsource it. Rumsfeld sent our GI's into battle without the proper equipment, we can hire foreign aliens for a song, give em a rifle, and then watch on cable news while they die to keep us free. We can even root for our favorite foreign GI just before they get their head blown off. What fun! Not a game, real life! And thanks to the SC we can root for our favorite Corporate Senator as they argue over funding.

[harleymaster63]

Yea, get rid of the Dims. we need more Repubs like Vitter, Ensign, and Santorium. He did it with dogs! Man on Dog! And Boneher is so much smarter than Pelosi. All those years of spending money we didn't have while cutting taxes for the richest people in America kept us in great economic shape. Obama shouldn't have continued those bail out's. He shouldn't have loaned GM money, he should have let those 100 or so thousand go bankrupt too. They could work at Wal-mart like all the other slaves.

[harleymaster63]

Let's do away with all those Socialist Programs anyway. Who the hell needs clean water & air, the kids are ignorant anyway, don't need public schools, teach them to carry a rifle and send them to war, do away with Social Security, the County Homes were good enough for my great grandparents they can be good enough for my grandkids, and dump Medicare and Medicaid, if you get sick put a jar on the counter at the gas station and collect donations, or have a fund raiser at the VFW. I want my money!

[bradwhitcombe]

WTF

[memama2]

...I would choose a "Republican" or "Tea Party" or "Independent" candidate OVER ANY SOCIALIST DIM ..........anyone over a creepy DIM shape-shifter with the morals of Tiger Woods and the Brains of Pelosi and the monetary wind bag of Jimmy Carter ideals = .....thats the Democratic Party NOW

[RebelRouserMC]

Google= Obama trains with taliban,,

[WinterHaven]

I do NOT recognize the Dalai Lama as any kind of Buddhist, much less a leader, due to his love for meat. A true Buddhist will not eat corpses. "Eating meat destroys the seed of great compassion," Buddha. True Buddhists do not eat meat, eggs or milk either. Even the milk and egg industry involves horrendous animal cruelty-chickens kept in pens too small to move, and cows are raped, their babies are stolen from their mothers for the cruel veal industry. Dalai Lama is a big ugly PHONY.

[WinterHaven]

The Dalai Lama a Buddhist? What a joke!-he loves his meat. He was even seeing eating meat practically raw. He claims he has a "medical condition" that requires meat and that's Hepatitis. But on the contrary, meat is harsh on the liver, and eating pork one can even contract Hepatitis E which was found in pork meat. It does not cook out either (resistant to freezing and ordinary cooking). I'm a vegan Buddhist, and I don't recognize a corpse eater as anything relating to Buddhism. He's a fake.

@JulietDeltaCarlie It allows many different people to take home a "keepsake" from the same bill signing. Its a pretty old tradition. Cheers!

What makes you so sure "Biden doesn't want to be there at all"

I see nothing in his body language that says "I'd rather be eating burgers"

[lildwayne21]

Ha! Look again.

[WinterHaven]

Joe Biden is the male version of Sarah Palin. If Obama would have chosen Hillary Clinton to be Vice President-she would have gotten Health Care Reform passed a long time ago. You KNOW she spear headed that during Clinton which the Republicans killed off. TOO LATE-it's no longer a democratic ruled house. And Hillary knows her stuff. I SAY HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!!! -Big mistake choosing Biden, I mean Mr. Sarah Palin.

[RebelRouserMC]

@WinterHaven ,Clinton is a democratic socialist ,just like obama, obomacare is the same fraud clinton tried to pass back in the 90's. why do you worship anyone that passed NAFTA and GATT and sent all of our factories and machine tooling to china?FUUK Hillary and obama,they are both liars,and they dont give a damn about you! or any othe american citizen.

[WinterHaven]

And do you honestly believe the Republicans care about you? HA! HA! WHAT A JOKE! I had my laugh for the day.

[RebelRouserMC]

@WinterHaven ,yuk it up all you want. The only Republican i trust is Ron Paul.Tyranny is Bipartizan,the left propts up the right and the right propts up the left.They all work for the same Bank ! GHW Bush was head of the CIA when the Federal Reserve had JFK's head exploded. JFK was going to abolish the FED and the CIA. JFK was the last true president of the USA..Now they are trying to label the truth movement as terrorist..so yuk it up fool..

[MrTabby5000]

@MrLetfreedomring

HE SHOULD RESIGN.

[seldomseen1]

MrTabby5000-

Why should he resign? For trying to do something about the debt, for trying to give Americans healthcare, for actually doing something about Afganistan or just for being black?

[ForceSmart]

What a joke. This guys job is to put our country into bankruptcy for the banks and UN. It's the same game they've been attacking the rest of the world with. We are nothing to these people.

Check that... We ARE useful to them. We are their attack dogs who they control with the dog whistle of corporate propaganda. They use us to stomp of "rogue states".

Obama hatred simply stems from people who are unknowingly racist biggots and the uneducated, or sometimes both. Don't sink to their level.

[memama2]

@Givy55 = a full on BS run away from ANY RESPONSIBILITY! ...... that's why he is "creating" another GOVERNMENT "GROUP"...which will follow the buttery bread crumbs and lobster shells trail= ~~ BACK TO OBAMA! (and the recommendation? = fire yourself BO)

[EcrossH]

Thank you president Obama for taking positive action to correct our nation's many problems. We can only hope for a day when the rest of our politicians aren't bought out by banks, big oil & coal, and the military industrial complex. These big institutions are responsible for wasteful spending, suppressed energy technologies, and the raping of the middle class. We SHALL move forward toward a world where balance is obtained.

[ShooterMaGavin]

1:25 maybe he is talking about the privately owned federal reserve. Oh wait thats to obvious...... Dickheads

[Thejbirdy]

Personally Im sick of BOTH parties serving Americans back and forth like a Tennis ball.

Fire the banks!!

[IWLocal8]

GREAT JOB! Two good choices from opposing Parties! If it can be done, these 2 are the best shot. The former *cough cough* "fiscally CONservative President took Clinton's surplus and turned it over to Obama deeper in the red than it had ever been before. It was like tossing Obama the keys to a burning wreck as he left office and telling him to drive safe.

[sjk5000]

what an ass get out obama

[MsTommyknocker]

Great tie!

[MsTommyknocker]

What's a fiscal crisis?

[ReliableInsider]

The word 'fiscal' is Latin for 'treasury' so it means 'relating to public debt, to the federal budget, or to financial matters in general.

'Fiscal responsibility' in this case means working to balance the federal budget, something which hasn't happened since Bill Clinton.

[AnthonyNews]

the greaest president ever..president obama*********

[jgidd]

signin' some papers and makin' it legal

haha

[turtleblues66]

Come Senators, Congressmen please heed the call, don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall, for he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled....

Obama is an amazing leader!!!!!

[Garud100]

just go to war with more countries - that will sort out your financial crisis & pay off the TRILLIONS & TRILLIONS of dollars of debt :/

[MishuTaste]

Fiscal responsibility means: ending the war in Iraq, stop giving aid to foreign nations, closing the borders, giving fines to those who hire illegal aliens, and getting rid of government programs that don't work. Stop giving grants to people. Then let people keep the money that they earn.

[Stillahills]

There progress may include your ideas, it will be difficult to start on the path when the economy is in a hole.

They will have to start slow and implement cuts as the economy grows. If all the cuts are made at once the cuts could drive us back in to a recession.

The fed gives out a lot of money, the local and global economies depends on the fed's spending.

Hopefully the global economy will have more growth, by the time they devise a bill.

Good luck to theses people.

[mavalius]

money of debt please look at this video and you will solve everything..good luck

[shooter348]

BHO's first year in office was a practice of spending every penny he possible could and now he want's to control deficits? I'm all for reducing government and getting rid of deficits but his words are disingenuous when looking at his record.

[semigotbanned]

@shooter348

It was important to stabilize the failing economy! Now the economy is growing again, it's time to tighten the belt.

[angelcarnivore]

I love it- favorite soundbytes include the reference to "preconditions" and "country first"

you tell em, Mr. President! Good luck on this venture!

[blueshadow1996]

Fiscal reform..republican and democrat working in the same office?.This is going to be interesting Mr President.

[bigzo234]

why did he sign with so many pens?

[ReliableInsider]

For some reason, people love to have the pens as mementos when a bill is signed so a long time ago Presidents started using multiple pens.

It's hilarious but completely harmless.

[xeemo]

Make rich people pay more taxes! Also legalize marijuana and tax that! I don't smoke it anymore, I also don't plan on starting up again, but I feel most people that want to smoke it are going to anyway, so why not make some money from it? Might as well charge tobacco smokers 20 bucks a pack while you're at it.

[sdfghhtryu67]

happy with president obama's efforts hes showing this year on every issue. this year hes actually working with the republicans so that the republicans can't say the president is not listening to them.

[RoseSkye]

Inb4 conspiracy theorists.

[TheDoctorDish]

GOOD SPEECH Mr.President

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[Skyman46]

No argument on his speeches but how about some actions, like passing health-care with the public option.

In addition get the fuck out of Iraq and Afghanistan already...this is totally insane!!!

He will never win in 2012.

[websitegamers]
