havetruthwilltravel, YOU ARE RIGHT!

[HaveTruthWillTravel]

Obama is a hypocrite, a liar, a deceiver, a traitor, and anti-American!! He promotes "Made in the U.S.A." to our faces, BUT, behind our backs he's promoting other countries instead!!

Obama gave 529 MILLION dollars of OUR "stimulus" money to an auto plant in FINLAND that has 500 employees!!!

How many ways can a president back stab his own country without knowing he's doing something treasonous??

We need to make Obama feel OUR pain in November 2012!!

Buffet said, I don't know what you're trying to get me to say, Joe. (get it right)

In other words he's not going to be a patsy for Joe's intent to bash Obama on this issue. It is bigger than that. Buffett said what he said and it did not include such innuendo remarks as "Obama's foolish rhetoric." Look at your title for this video. That is your opinion, not a fact of the interview. You are so transparent in trying to advance your simplistic bias.

[uhhh54321]

@totownmedia you obviously didn't understand what Buffet said. At what point did you hear him during the interview disparage the system and the way the tax code works. He even seemed to brag a little about having to pay an extra $240K in taxes for making a gift to his kids. Contrast this with his op ed piece about how he should pay more taxes. They don't line up - they contrast.

[cloudshe]

this just confirms the dishonesty behind MOST of what our president tells us

[UCSDEngineerDoctor]

Fuck YOU WARREN BUFFETT & FUCK YOU OBAMA.

[Dan474834]

Exactly. Lower taxes on companies. But why lower personal income taxes on the wealthy?

If they are creating jobs, they will benfit from the low corporate tax, but no need for the personal tax breaks.

[ros375]

that anchor was on his knees groveling begging him to say something bad about obama.

[amayzen139]

Perpetual war = big bucks for Buffett! Vote Obama/Buffett 2012! Obama/Buffett fund raiser—$1.5 billion per plate—kids eat free! Only well-heeled war profiteers may attend this event—who else could afford it? Ha, ha, ha!!! Bis Sis herself will be fondling all attendees at the door. Enjoy!

[amayzen139]

Buffett without his billions = Warren who? The only reason anyone cares what this old rascal thinks is because he is obscenely rich and that says a lot about his fans: money = wisdom? What a silly assumption! Show us a billionaire and we'll show you a greedy money grubbing thief! No decent human being would ever or could ever accumulate that much money.

[thugishism]

@amayzen139 i agree with you man

[ninuxy]

Corporate jet is a luxury; locomotive is not. way to go to obfuscate there Warren.

Your gift tax over personal usage of your own jet is not the same as utilizing corporate jet for business (still a luxury).

[jpkm123]

What kind of moron doesn't know how depreciation works and attempts to pontificate on it?

[backupstuff]

Buffet will end up paying Sept 15 2011 let take a look

[1jaggerd]

Warren Buffet gave each of his 3 kids $1B to their charity of choice. Kept $2b or so for himself, then promised or gave over $35b to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.

[ryguy86]

@1jaggerd So fucking what.

[krakmxer]

what happens if warren dies?? is he giving all his money to the charity??

[TrainedPwner]

@krakmxer I think he's giving his immediately family some (relatively tiny amounts), then most to charity.... either him or Bill Gates is doing that haha not sure

[usaintltrade]

Common sense can't. Let children and elderly hurt die and be put in slavery all the while these guys the top 1% have all meaning 100% of the money in the usa should be the exact opposite,  while the rich 1% don't hurt pay crap they don't understand greed does all this

[Baileygeep7]

Not much room to talk from the former obamaha from omaha, his estate tax rhetoric is equally nauseating.

[theguvnorjimmy]

@Baileygeep7 Buffett makes money out of that through Berkshire...

[fly4vino]

Typical Obama hype. Congress and the president use jets all the time to travel for government business, politics and pleasure. The taxpayers pay for the cost of all but the campaign expenses.

Corporations use jets to manage their businesses. If the jet does not make money for the business then their companies suffer.

Taxpayers would be in revolt if they knew how much travel the executive and congressional branches do on jets where there is little or no benefit to the taxpayer.

[xaviqaz]

@fly4vino @fly4vino Buffet is very patriotic. His company has recently made two world record bizjets orders... of brazilian and canadian aircrafts. Above 200 units. He wants to remain as the only rich able to make such orders

[masercot]

Too bad you edited out the part about Republicans holding a "gun to the head of America"...

[apimom1974]

do you have the next few minutes of this interview-I missed it all.

[hayden50]

karl marx would have been proud of obama.
