Sounding Off: Americans Speak Out on Obama

[HostileNegotiator]

He's a good speaker that's for sure. Only time will tell how well and how fast we recover from trickle down economics and fiscal irresponsibility of the 8 long fraud years. The Bush / Cheney regime spent more of the peoples money than all previous presidents combined. Conservatives are officially a thing of the past. All that's left of them is radicals and extremists. Now the power elite is going after the liberals. And progressives. Well anyone not on their corporate payroll basically.

[Panchee123]

"Ladies and Gentleman, it is my honor to spend your money all over the place" The end

[czubspenx]

Bait and Switch.  That is the summary so far of the Obama administration. I voted for him and have never been so disappointed. All of his campaign promises were just lies.

[jerdeb4evr]

Ever look at your paycheck stub? there is a deduction there for Medicare. If not then you obviously do not work and pay taxes. In which case you have no valid voice in this conversation. Funny how the Liberals call Social Security an entitlement. I have paid over $100,000.00 dollars into Social Security and received zero. By entitlement i guess they mean they are entitled to spend my money.?!

[alvaradokids]

you want to balance the budget...........kill medicare medicaide the bush wars and cut defence spending in half and then kill unemplyment and foodstamps if thats not enough stop taxing all companies and corporation .......im sure republicans would have an orgasm over this.........

[JOS3EMMANUEL]

Cooper?

[jhill8]

And I would like to add to what I just posted: The point of government is not to have one party in office and have another to slow them down; it is to have both to reflect ALL of America. So to me the root of many of our problems is our unwillingness to compromise and work together to find solutions.

[jhill8]

You know what's funny? Is that as you read every comment on the reply to Obama's State of the Union Address, there is absolutely not one single comment that has a familial tone. It is all "YOU REPUBLICANS DID THIS" or "YOU DEMOCRATS DID THAT". I think how the next three years play out will HEAVILY depend on the unification NOT ONLY in higher government but also on the COMMUNITY and individual levels.

[HemiHead66]

Today's Republican party is bad at almost everything: no new ideas, no plan for governing, no forward agenda beyond tax cuts, deregulation, environmental despoilment and global unilateralism.  But it is very good at one thing: day-to-day political combat. At this, Republicans absolutely excel. They run circles around the Democrats every day when it comes to pushing propaganda.

[MrTouchShriek]

If the GOP keeps its mouth shut it will win most Independent votes in November. If it keeps talking neocon BS it will fuck itself over.

[MrTouchShriek]

Not a fan of Obama's handling on the economy, but the GOP response to criticize his not addressing national security is just as full of shit. Anyone who thinks foreign policy trumps domestic concerns at the moment is living in an alternate universe.

[HemiHead66]

@MrTouchShriek

The Republicans got Terrorism on the brain. And anybody that can't see what those assholes are doing has to be blind. They're like little fucking kids with this bash everything Obama does attitude. And they don't even care if they lie their ass off. After a year of listening to this crap, and their do nothing for the American people policies, I'm about to send a request to have their stinking asses fired.

[jerdeb4evr]

You are funny, you are going to send a request to get their asses fired? Funny stuff, While you are at it how about a request to strengthen the dollar, encourage private investment into our economy and Obama to move back to Kenya

[HemiHead66]

@jerdeb4evr

Well - you don't sound like you're brain-dead - but something must be going on up there. Did you ever stop to think that it was meant to be funny? Like someone in Washington would actually give a shit what I thought.

[jerdeb4evr]

Wait a minute, are you telling me they don't listen? That can't be. They are our elected Representatives. They have sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution. "We Thed People" have become Marco and they are POLO.

[HemiHead66]

@jerdeb4evr

Hell no, they don't listen. And they used the Constitution for toilet paper long ago. This country is now called - The Corporation of America. Land of Greed - Home of the Slave.

[HemiHead66]

@jerdeb4evr

My show here is just a little bizarre for your thinking? What show would that be - the truth?

[hneilreed]

Just more BS, its the economy stupid! Where are all the celebrities who bent over for Bomba who wanted LESS government? Bomba wants to turn everything over to the government. Reminds me of the old saying"Be careful what you ask for" ! Come on 2012!

[wild112233]

He speaks well, even if it is with a teleprompter. Wonder why Bush was such a bad speaker - I suppose the teleprompter was invented only after he left office :-)

[overseachininadoll]

After reading the stupid comments here and watching this vid (people in the vid all look and sound dumb.) no wonder many calling Americans dumb. They are.

Good for China and other countries. The Americans are so divided and their society and the government is in mess. They will never get their acts together like the Chinese do. Americans are bunch of losers.

[madmanatsea]

I'm an EX-Republican and WANT A SMALLER GOVERNMENT! THIS MUST HAPPEN BEFORE THESE FOOLS EVEN THINK ABOUT CUTTING TAXES!!!

Republicans CANNOT GET MY VOTE JUST BY CUTTING TAXES AND THEN PROCEED TO GROW THE GOVERNMENT JUST LIKE THE DEMOCRATS!

TEAPARTY MOVEMENT WILL DESTROY THEM ALL SO JOIN ONE!

[madmanatsea]

These fools have NO IDEA what to do!!!!!!

DECREASE THE SIZE OF THE GOVERNMENT SO THAT YOU CAN LOWER TAXES ON CORPORATIONS! NEXT, STOP THE FED FROM DESTROYING THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR!

Smaller government means LESS TAX Revenues to operate government so this IS WHAT MUST HAPPEN FIRST SO THAT TAXES CAN BE LOWERED! Bernacke and Geithner DESTROYING the Dollar! No CEO in America is going to hire Americans when he can hire at his overseas plants to take ADVANTAGE OF THE FALLING DOLLAR!

[smokesignals2012]

Same oL teleprompter-promises from the purple-Lipped-pathologicaL-Lyi­ng- kenyan-Born-Puppet- CEO of tha Elletts... for tha Elletts

[btrask3]

I don't agree... millions of American's are waking up. Obama can read a mean teleprompter, but when it comes to CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN, he falls on his face. We don't even listen to him read his prepared speeches anymore... because his actions speak louder than words... everyone agrees... from the far right to the far left... this Presidents words CANNOT BE TRUSTED. The incumbents will FEEL REAL HOPE, when we see CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN next November.

[Docthewrench]

Is that OBAMA cum on Nancy's lipps?

[BertGriffin88]

AP,

Now tell the truth, Bush&Dick gave you some family videos they made last night while watching President Obama's State of the Union Address. These idiot Republican parrots remembered their lines long enough to get their medication. It's like Bush&Dick who ruined America, causing the broken economy, destroying manufacturing, devastating the jobs market, giving the crooked bankers billions in bailout, etc, never did anything. These empty headed Republicans echo the Republican Senators' script.

[keygbay]

fu republicans.

[HemiHead66]

Listen to this clown with his across the board tax cuts to spur job growth. That's what the Republicans are pissed about - they want tax cuts for the rich that'll do "absolutely" nothing for job growth. Look at the market. Look at those multi-nationals. They're posting profits out the fucking ass. The only thing keeping them from hiring is demand. Bush's fucking tax cuts cost us close to 2 trillion, and they went to help these corporate fuckers move overseas. We paid to lose our fucking jobs.

[HemiHead66]

Obama sold us out on a lot of shit. He gave in to the Repukes on nuclear plants. Some Green economy - powered by toxic nuclear waste. The French already have the ocean radioactive as far away as the Artic circle. And we're back to drilling that'll do nothing but make oil companies rich. While those bastards were complaining about drilling they sitting on permits to drill on 68,000 acres of land. And he had to bring up that DOHA trade that'll fuck us dead. Was this the price for Repuke support?

[ryen1992]

obamas SOCIALISM FOR AMERICA

[humaner]

Republicans corporate slavery...the nation in a Walmart.

[jerdeb4evr]

Don't be scared, jobs are all we want for you. Now that is funny. Obama claims he is going to create jobs. The majority of his constituancy wouldn't take a job to save their lives. Never had one never want one. They like having the working 52% of the country pay for their lazy asses.

[MrCaleb6000]

Anti-Obama people are racists and crybabies of the Party of No. They sit on the sidelines and cry like lazy sissies. They say they don't want big govt but they will be the 1st to cry like sissies when the govt does something they don't benefit directly from.

RIght-wing nuts will support anyone who says, "flag, god, patriot and loony liberal" all in one sentence.

God Bless Barack Obama. He stood up to the crybaby crowd of uneducated right-wing racists.

[sunfighter86]

well said

[abarzilai664]

So do you support the Afghan War.

[chimpera1]

What's racist is giving unthinking support to a politician because he is your race. Racisms is hate, and you seem to be full of it. People voted for Obama because he was the farthest thing from Bush they could see. The mistake of the democrats is to think that America wants their ideas for social change. We dont.

[jerdeb4evr]

What are conservatives racists about? We know for a fact that his Mother was white, and as in most cases, no idea who the Father was for sure. We may cry, absoloutly. we cry when some no account bum in suit declare's war on our income. Of course the Liberal voting tax guzzling non working portion of our Nation cheers for Obama. What the hell have they got to lose? Their free income, their free government programs od money to dope addicts, free meals, free groceries thru food stamps.

[msgambate88]

Obama is AWESOME - best president ever!!!!

[jerdeb4evr]

@msgambate88 What are you 14 years old? This bum in a suit is no more a president than Joe Biden is a philosopher. Obama will say anything to get you close and then believe his "good" nature. The man is a snake. He talks to hear himself talk. He is afraid to shut up because he knows when he does the people will think about what he said. His talk will not stand the re-examination. His lips are moving he is lying, period.

[msgambate88]

you are too ignorant to understand what he is saying and you probably don't even own a suit because there is no need to dress up in your trailer park.

[jerdeb4evr]

Ouch! That accomplishes alot. I tell you facts and insult my intellect. Do you reasons to dress up in your trailer park?

[aaeoni]

hahahas I love sarcasm hahahaha.

[abarzilai664]

Was the escalation of the Afghan War the right thing to do?

[jerdeb4evr]

The escalation should be carried thru to it's logical end. Annihilation of the Islamic peoples.

[tradernorton05]

Niggers rarely ever contribute anything positive toward a rational and civil society.

[humaner]

Hey tradernorton05 why don't shut the door on your trailer park aluminum door and turn on the gas.BTW do you like spreading hate on the internet little puke coward.I have reported your comments to youtube

[jerdeb4evr]

@humaner It might be politically incorrect for a non black person to reference Nigger. However, you do not know if he is black or white or yellow or red. If he is black then for him to say NIgger is perfectly ok. That aside the rest of his statement is positively true. He didn't say never. The reason Prisons are full of predominately black men is because black men commit the majority of the crime. Examine cities with large black populations, crime index 2000+, Cities with large white pop. 350.??

[humaner]

jerdeb4ver look little freak the only reason there is a black problem is because there is a white problem its called racism , segregation and systemic underfunding from governments to black constituents who were for years chronically and psychologically damaged from years of abuse....I believe American whites create black crime.Take that in your pipe and smoke it.Karma from slavery.

[jerdeb4evr]

"Underfunding from Government to Black constituents..." Do you understand how the whole money go round is supposed to work? Here is a refresher, People get jobs, the government taxes their income and pools it into a general fund. From this fund they extract the quantaties needed to cover those obligations set forth in the Constitution. What ever is left over is sent back to the working folks that paif into it originally. I thought white blame went away when a black man was elected.

[humaner]

If you think we are having a conversation we are not you make no sense,you can't spell, and I would never agree with any of your elementary meanderings..go smell some glue with your inbred friends.FAIL and SPAM a double award.

[jerdeb4evr]

That is what i call an intelligent response. Just about what I would expect. If you notice, the errors in mt writting are typo's rather than spelling. Having a hard time understanding the concept of working for a living? Does the idea of not being able to blame me for your lack of success scare you. Relax, Obama is here. He will try and take my check and give it to your poor mistreated soul. Then, maybe, you will quit blaming me.

[jlobsien]

hey, nice contribution to our rational and civil society, asshole.

Man, some people need to take a look in the mirror.

[evnbrw]

it does suck that people just dont get that even though hes the president he cant do shyt without congress supporting him and unfortunately they arent they'll block a bill just bcuz they dont like him not bcuz the bill is bad and even if the bill needs improvement they give no type of suggestions geez they need to realize this is not about them but us and that everything they do effects our country n lives

[jerdeb4evr]

Did you just wake up from a coma? The man you call president has the greatest majority of any President. He can't get anything done because what he wants to do is moronic. They have a rule book to govern by, it is called the Constitution.

[HemiHead66]

@jerdeb4evr

Ah - bull-shit! Obama's not even doing it. And in case you didn't know it - the Constitution went out the window when the corporation took over our Government. And if the Republicans want the Government out of healthcare so much - what the fuck are they doing in it up to their necks? Since when does the "FREE MARKET" mean you use the insurance companies I tell you to? And both party's telling us we can't have drugs come from Canada? They have no problem feeding us poison from China

[jxsilicon9]

Obama should be like Cheney. Americans don't agree with you. I don't give a shit.

[timothyscottgilbert]

@jxsilicon9 Cheney would tell them to go fuck themselves...

[caliguy92]

Yeah, I agree...Obama should be like Cheney and ignore the American public,,,Cheney got low approval ratings for ignoring the American public and so can Obama...and hopefully, by November of 2012, Obama will have such low approval ratings for ignoring the American public , just like Cheney, we wil be able to elect a new president! :P

[thelumberjackjohn]

obama can die

[tremendocojones]

you can get reported for that shit . watch out.

[jerdeb4evr]

Just in case you do not realize it yet. we all are mortal.

[Xantheus07]

@tremendocojones

Why he is just pointing out a fact Obama can die. Just like every 1 else can die none of us are immortal.

[tremendocojones]

Why do they only show old white hillbillies in this video ? LMFAO.....why don't they show what America really thinks . ( look at Joe Biden , Ha ha ha he looks like a fucking puppet )

[krazy45cat]

he's a clown .ob=0 2010 / 2012 = No ob

[tremendocojones]

The white people are mad cuz he's black....ha ha ha....I don't give a shit either way.....he is a good talker though.

[Kitswain59]

tremendocojones.....His puppet masters tell him what to say with his teleprompter. He can't talk without one. Youtube Fall of the Republic to find the truth.

[jerdeb4evr]

Remember Rod Blagowovich. That was one stupid SOB. That idiot would not shut up for a second. presence of Guilt or innocence had left him so long ago they weren't even real anymore. Reminds me alot of Obama.

[humaner]

Remember that goon Bush who attacked Iraq without a plan,who sat on the sidelines while New Orleans burned,who hired religious nut jobs for responsible positions,who had no idea the economy was tanking and started the bail out system with fear tactics ,who out sourced the entire US army.Who could barely complete a speech without a massive verbal mistake.Republicans the dumb,dumber,dumbest.

[abarzilai664]

And Obama was the one who had drones over Pakistan and supported thew coup in Honduras.

[madmanatsea]

@abarzilai664 STOP WITH THE BS.... Zelaya DISOBEYED the HONDURAN SUPREME COURT ORDERS SUSPENDING HIS POLLING OF THE PEOPLE SINCE HE DID NOT HAVE CONSTITUTIONAL POWERS TO DO IT..You just let any United States President DISOBEY a USA Supreme Court ORDER, and we'll see if he IS NOT THROWN OUT OF OFFICE IN LESS THAN A MONTH! I SWEAR THERE WILL BE WAR ON THE STREETS OF DC IF HE IS NOT REMOVED PRONTO! IF I DISOBEY A COURT ORDER, I GET THROWN IN JAIL, AND I EXPECT EQUAL TREATMENT FOR THE Prez.!

[jerdeb4evr]

The thing President Bush did wrong concerning Katrina, responded too soon. We would have been further ahead had he let the animals destroy their own zoo. We could have gone in later and cleaned up the mess. Instead we have to go in there and feed the animals, put them back in their cages. Sadly many of them escaped to cities like Houston. Now Houston is having to feed and house the animals and the cost is ready to bankrupt the city.

[Gerpinator]

Kind of difficult to 'work' bipartisan-ly when the other side refuses to 'work' with you at all. Or purposefully blocks a bill, just for the sake of blocking it and makes no suggestion as to what they would want improved.

[believersunderground]

good luck your going to need it. Scott (BUG) bankers don't care

[d3v07]

its sad to say you look like a crackhead bitch

[d3v07]

lying sack of shit. Tax cuts for the wealthy only helps the wealthy. tax cuts accross the board will help nothing, especially after a multitrillion dollar war.

[SkyDaddy7]

@d3v07 After 30 yrs or so of Conservatives telling everyone tax cuts are the solution to every economic problem many Americans think its true! Despite Bush giving the wealthy the some of biggest tax cuts in history to only see the economy collapse 5 years later is not proof enough to these right wing drones.

At some point we Americans have to reinvest in our own country via taxes & as long as we keep putting it off the worst our country will get.

[Xantheus07]

@SkyDaddy7

What people like you do is try to oversimplify things. Whats the point of tax cuts if Congress thinks that means they got a reason to increase spending? The problem is like most of Americans government does not know how to live within its means.

[SkyDaddy7]

@Xantheus07 Oversimplify? I look at the facts and the facts say we have to raise taxes back to the level in 90's and cut spending...History shows the Dems under Clinton passed PAY AS YOU GO & the we had a surplus. Bush & the GOP ended pay as you go & cut taxes & increased spending! So, I do not play politics like sports I go with the party that has actually done the responsible governing NOT JUST TALKED ABOUT IT! Americans need to stop listening to FOX & look at history! Cont...

[SkyDaddy7]

@Xantheus07 Obama is trying to pass PAY AS YOU GO again & cut spending but the GOP wants to win an election not fix the country & that is where we sit.

There is no oversimplifying from where I sit. Simply saying we need to cut taxes is OVERSIMPLIFYING the solution to the very complex problems we face. Bush's tax cuts did not prevent a total econ meltdown but they did remove a trillion&half worth of rev & turned a surplus into massive debt.

[jerdeb4evr]

Realize that only 52% of the people in this country pay income tax. The other 48% consume taxes. So you are wrong when you say that tax cuts only help the wealthy. In reality what you mean is the tax cuts hurt the unmotivated, excuse givers that refuse to do what it takes to get and keep a job. Obama is trying to shift the greater portion of our taxes to placate those complainers. Old English proverb "those that work eat' very simple

[Pvtjamesryan2]

Obama preaches more bullshit and people actually listen. It's disgusting!!!
