  • The relentless and unending succession of press conferences and White House pontifications has snookered a gullible and hence complicit media into broadcasting their high opera of deception. Does anyone really believe that the Washington "royalty" would risk sacrificing their own personal fortunes for the sake of principle if the "debt crisis" were real? All of the posturing and hyperbole are masking goals other than American fiscal responsibility and solvency. It is all a scam.

  • Everything to which we have all been subjected 24-7 from the media over the past two weeks is little more than political theater. The "budget crisis" and associated issues are an illusion. They do not really exist. The White House and both congressional houses are simply players in a long, drawn-out governmental opera designed to distract the public from their true motives: raising the debt limit (to pacify Liberal Democrats) and crushing the Tea Party (to pacify mainstream Republicans).

  • the only thing bush did wrong economically is was work with the liberal congress his last 2 years in office!

  • im sick of hearing him talk about raising taxes and then turning around and raising the debt ceiling. what the hell, deficit spending? I know someone in the military who works at an airbase and takes his colleagues out to lunch EVERY DAY on tax payers money

  • The only plan Obama has is to raise taxes so that he could spend more money. He has no concept of how an economy works.

  • Obama is a little late. He should of been dealing with this 2 years ago. He and the left failed to pass a budget when they held the house senate and presidency. Obama formed his own panel to solve the debt problem only to ignore everything they said. As usual Obama wants to keep his hands clean and vote present just like he did as a senator. Put on you big boy pants and do your job!

  • "China warns US 'debt-default' idea is playing-with-fire" this mean that china will declare war upon America! In China'sl view if America don't raise the debt this would be a atom bomb upon china and all the rest of the world from America. China is declaring war upon America if the debt celing is not raised. This is why ben osama blow up the world trade center because bush did not pay him the money he promised him to get rid of their weapons of mass destruction; when he got rid of them.

  • OBAMA IS THE MAN!!!

  • OBAMA=HISTORICAL FAILURE...

  • The guy had his chance, showed his true colors and is absolutely no different than George W Bush. Yes they may have a different tone but actions speak much louder than words. Obama will have a BILLION dollars for this election folks. Do you really think that he is going to serve the needs of the average American or serve the needs of those who donate the big bucks. It's time this country had a leader who was actually elected by the people.

    WHO is RON PAUL?

    Ron Paul 2012

  • Hey Obama, instead of standing up for fudgepackers, stand up for Americans. It is radical democrats who ironically call themselves progressive that cling to these social programs of the past & do not help eliminate poverty, they encourage it. If you refuse to change the social programs they will be gone altogether because America will be bankrupt. But hey, fighting for the end of don't ask don't tell was more important than saving America's finances. Obama is a failure.

  • Obama throws $1.400,000,000 away on stimulus package and how much on cash for clunkers and billions on GM, and tells us we much watsh are spending, who in the world do we have running this country Please next time you vote , make sure the person has some experience, look what you get when you vote for a loser

  • Flat tax of 10% – no exemptions for all individuals making over $20k/year & $45k families of 4 (some community service for those below that level); plus 20% for all corporations making a profit over $75k per year – NO EXEMPTIONS! That & some fiscal responsibility would fix these ills. I’d pay more under this plan but at least I’d know it was a level playing field. Oh, if you live somewhere where the cost of living makes this too much of a hardship: MOVE!

  • `**NEVER VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN AGAIN! The PAUL RYAN BUDGET PLAN will DESTROY MEDICARE for those of us 54 years or younger. IMAGINE being an old man & having to do BATTLE with a PRIVATEinsurance company BECAUSE THE voucher you got is not enough to pay for the coverage you need or you just can't get the coverage you need for your illness! REPUBLICONS slipped this into their budget proposal with NO DISCUSSION OR DEBATE! TELL YOUR STATE REPUBLICON$ THAT YOU WILL NEVER VOTE FOR A REPUBLICON AGAIN!

  • soooooooo many opinions. well im an independent and all i have to say is:

    *facepalm* 

  • "The republicans and I have successfully brought up abortion to once again agrees to spend lots of money and hope no one notices" Obama said

    "Anyone who thinks the republicans werent on board with big spending is lying to themselves. We bring up abortion and the military then cut nothing and everyone seems to think the republicans acutally tried. While the dems actually think we werent in on it together all alond" obama went on to say

  • obama is talking about something that doesn't exist anymore more new rail roads will only damage the enviroment and waste tons of fuel without

    new treatments health care is useless

  • Oh, and I forgot to mention how fucking ridiculous it is that people are getting sent to jail for smoking a plant! What the fuck!?! Shouldn't we be using our prison systems and police officers to deal with more serious crimes like arson, rape, and murder?!? I mean seriously, how do you justify imprisoning someone for a 100% victimless crime? Especially when that 'crime' only consists of smoking something that grows out of the ground? You can't. So please, shut the fuck up and legalize marijuana!

  • ...they could control the use of it in teens by making it so it couldn't be sold to minors. Also, with it legalized, the DEA would be able to focus on keeping much more dangerous drugs such as cocaine and heroine out of th U.S.

  • I have a budget solution for you: LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!! Because if it were legal, the government could make millions, or possibly even billions of dollars each year from taxing it. Besides, honestly, it's not like having it illegal actually stops anyone from doing it. Millions of people in America smoke pot, despite the fact that it's highly illegal under federal law. And to be honest, I'm 16, and it's WAYYY easier for me to get pot than it is for me to get alchohol, but if it were legal....

  • Fucking Republicans. Cut medicare but not tax breaks for the very small percentage of the wealthy? You're screwing your own selves over!

  • @Ackbarfangirl

    1. The top one percent of Americans pay THIRTY SEVEN PERCENT OF ALL FEDERAL TAXES. Conversely, 47% of Americans PAY NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX.

    2. Ryan plan eliminates tax loopholes for the wealthy.

    3. The feds take in as much wealth as they ever have, the problem is not so much what the fed is taking in but what it is SPENDING.

  • Sorry but when a President is for CUTTING NATIONAL DEFENSE SPENDING that scares the shit out of me. And good job working with the Republicans on the budget u jackass president. U got in office bc of white ppl who feel sorry about slavery and morons who think its time for a black president instead of worrying about which candidate is right for the job. Not to mention the 98% black ppl voting for him, a majority bc Obama is black

  • What people fail to realize is that Obama can't fix the system. Because the system in itself is a failure. Democrat or republican no matter how you try to argue...the system is flawed.

    We need to reset our ways of thinking in order to fix this world.

    No matter who you put in the presidential seat...they will ALL FAIL! You CANNOT put the burden of this country on the shoulders of ONE MAN. EVERYONE MUST DO THEIR PART.

  • Nobama 2012!

  • Obama reminds me of Gobachev. Trying to rescue a corrupt system. Unfortunately he/or the next pres, will have not only adopt the Ryan plan but also raise taxes of all US citizens. Its pretty sad how US gov wasted money on foreign wars and programs they really could afford.

  • BRING BUSH BACK PLZ

  • this is the person you people voted for lol bring back bush plz!!!!!!lol talk all the shit you want.this guy played all of you like a fiddle.and man does he play it hot.anyways fuck you kids for voting for a prez who is worst than bush by a long shot..come on the vice prez couldnt say awake for his spech wow rember this is the people you voted for not me..thanks for fucking the country and bein a sheep who listens to onesided news lol great job losers

  • Even MSNB-CCCP's Morning Joe team were all over Barry for him inappropriately calling Paul Ryan to sit in the front row of the soliloquy and then insulting him.

    Barryboy 0bama = laughing stock of the world.

    Oh, and... WAKE UP GRANDPA JOE BIDEN!

  • Anyone who thinks Socialism is the answer should pack their bags and go to a country that has Socialism. I suggest you begin reading. Socialism in the USSR cost 20,000,000 people their lives. They never had our standard of living, they had a controlled economy which resulted in shortages and starvation. Anyone advocating Socialism is too stupid for words. You don't think Free Enterprise works! You are insane! It works when you do, moron!

  • Socialism is the only thing that will save America. Fuck the American dream; it doesnt work, it promotes greed. Egalitarianism is the way we are meant to live; providing for each other and living as A COMMUNITY. We're all Americans, we should all be given the same opportunites, all able to receive the same education, and all given the same chance to contribute to society. Life isn't fair, but that doesnt mean we can't MAKE IT FAIR for future generations. Wake up people, honestly.

  • @MrPmd1 Impeach Obongo!

  • 1. Start cutting Obamas pay...he has failed and will make all the money he needs from lobbying anyways so why use taxpayers money to pay him to be president?

    2. Impeach Obongo...he is a dumb idiot and everybody knows this...if you support obama then you are the racist.

    3. Stop giving money to crack dealers who have 20 kids, sell drugs and still collect a welfare check...If you are on welfare there should at least be a background check to make sure your not some clown who is dealing dope..

  • @CMI1986X64 How about we start with cutting the $700 billion that we spent on war/military last year which is 54% of the Federal budget

  • Rolling back tax cuts isn't socialistic. Get your exaggerations in check, please.

  • This is a poorly chosen segment, as it has nothing but rhetoric inside it, and ends abruptly. Full versions of speeches would be more useful.

  • @CMI1986X64 thats called capitalism

  • go CAPITALISM!

  • we need to go back to the day when grandma ate her dinner out of a catfood can. We need to go back to a day when individuals where accountable to line up in front of a soup kitchen. We need to go back to a day when large corporations and the wealthy could hire labor for cheap, and laborers that know their place, buy from the company store and are happy with what they get from their masters. Ah the good old days.

  • 2012 is just around the corner and you nobama are out.

  • Another puppet to the fullest.

    VOTE RON PAUL 2012.

    END THE INCOME TAX~

  • Obama is in election mode and this guy is sick by playing up class warfare. As Herman Cain says, Obama is keeping all of us on the plantation. You could take all the money from the rich and it still wouldn't pay down this debt. Obummer knows it and he doesn't care as it's all about collapsing the economy. Obama and Friends are guilty of treason for sure.

  • I would like to see him crack down on oil subsidies.

  • Have you actually heard the budget proposal the Republicans are trying to push?Can't raise taxes?Really?Greed is the only motivation these criminals have,they don't care about this country or it's citizens!Wake up people, if you are middle class and back these guys, you will end up drowning while they are on the yacht.

  • @sirb1978 - so you want to punish the rich (who hire people like us) and give this money to the government thinking the government will give it back to the middle class? HAHAHAA, that's funny dude. You really need to think this through a little further....

  • @MrPmd1 Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

    Impeach Obama

  • @MrPmd1 What the hell he wants to raise taxes for corporations by taking out loopholes, its the republicans who want to lower taxes for corporations and the rich!

  • This guy is unreal. Lets be more fiscally responsible even though I raised the debt by 3/4 over Bush ??? WTF. Who buys this shit.

  • Everything goes great until he says that we believe that everyone has been living responsibly and therefore only bad luck separates any of us.

  • "A layoff may strike anyone of us" so lets give them Social Security instead of encouraging them to find ANOTHER job. BRILLIANT! I cannot wait to graduate college and allow people to sit around and not look for another job because they want to wait for their unemployment to run out first.

    RON PAUL 2012!!!

  • @ViciousBetrayal87

    You tell em!

  • About time the corrupt gets what they deserve, tax the hell out of the rich:)

  • @kenjiro2004 You automatically associate wealthy with corrupt? Go ahead and aspire to be poor, you probably always will be. Who are you going to blame for your lack? You must be waiting by the mailbox for your government check.

  • @CncObsession Well, in that aspect the only check I ever received is from hard work in the military. Nope, just a typical blue collar worker out of General Motors. My ancestry isn't stained with slavery and greed either. 

  • @kenjiro2004 Another brilliant assumption. Is the only way to riches thru corruption, slavery and greed? Maybe for your party. Mine was based on good old hard work not expectations that some agency would cover my ass. Lets see when was slavery abolished? Women started voting when? I am 49, was I responsible for all of that since I am white? Ridiculous. What is the issue? Your lack of achievement is my fault? Were you union? Who ever told you life was fair, lied.

  • @CncObsession because of many years of oppression. Not because of just racism but the sexist views of Christianity early in this countries history. Seriously, Obama is our first Black President, now how long did this country take to make this happen? When will we ever have a woman president? How about women's wages being $.70 on the $1 compared to men? If my furthest ancestor was rich and handed me wealth, which can come in any shape or form, I wouldn't have anything to say

  • @CncObsession Really though only 2% of any American is truely rich, also taxation has always been apart of American History. Just used as leverage in politics.

  • @kenjiro2004 So everyone that is wealthy is corrupt ??? and when did a poor person ever offer YOU a job? How much money is freely donated each year by the rich? do you know? I do.

  • @PooPooOnMyNewShoe Money is the devil in my eyes, so yes everyone who is rich is corrupt. Ask yourself this question how many rich people will put themselves in harms way to protect the lives of the innocent, many of this countries Soldiers have fought and died for our freedom. Many of them are poor and without homes, food, or a job. I cant say the same about any fat cats, because they all hide when faced with truth. The truth is this country wasn't designed to have wealth trickled down.

  • @kenjiro2004 Hmm, yes, my son is one of those who would die for this country. USMC 3rdBatt, 3Rd marines, Afgan + iraq. So was I and so was his grandfather. And yes we have worked HARD in the private sector and made our money. You son have a very shallow view my friend.

  • @PooPooOnMyNewShoe thankyou for your service. My Great Grandfathers both went to WWII, Several of my uncles went to Vietnam. My cousin served in the Airforce During Iraqi Freedom. My sister serves currently in a unit stationed in Texas. All of which are minorities and maybe there isn't much of an excuse for living in poverty or being poor for that matter this day and age, but doesn't mean there hasn't been one hell of an handicap because of not being white.

  • @kenjiro2004 Thank you. And my thanks to you're family members that have served this great country. We all have the same love of country it seems but we might not agree on all ways to better it. Not all rich are evil, some are very evil (Kennith Lay and Bernie Maddoff) come to mind as crooks of the century. Wealthy amreicans donate $Billions per year freely to programs that we all benifit from. Raise taxes? maybe, but let's also cut Gov't spending too. It takes both to happen perhaps. :)

  • @PooPooOnMyNewShoe I agree, cutting spending should have been something that was taken seriously after the first billion was owed. We've made it close to $15trillion, with no chance of slowing down. Believe me i'm not in love with Obama and his hypocrisy, as a man whether right or wrong, he should have done what he said he would. Step by step if he had then the the majority of voters that got him into office, would be behind him 100%. Once someone is rich, then what? I keep getting this image

  • @PooPooOnMyNewShoe of Scrooge. It's sad when there are people out there feeling optimistic because they are close to making their first $1mil and another person out there so happy to just eat another meal. As Christians we need to beat all this hatred and evil back, not everyone thinks alike. I do realize not all rich people are corrupt, but I think lust for more money mo is evil

  • ***LEAVE MY MILLIONS ALONE, I MADE OFF DUMB PEOPLE FAIR AND SQUARE***

  • Great words but I'd like to see some action now. Obama has to walk the walk and not just console this nation with empty words.

  • I wouldn't believe a word this corrupt lying slime ball says. America call for his impeachment we do not deserve this trash

  • @TheImpeacher We The People Against Corruption in the Campaign to Remove & Indict Obama et al day 287 April 13/2011."the kind of country that we believe in" does not have a crooked attorney in the WhiteHouse.I cannot listen to his lying rhetoric anymore.OBAMA IS A CROOKED ATTORNEY engaged in fraud. Banking fraud of the highest degree linked to the mass murder of 911.

    I am not being hysterical.

    I am being truthful.

    This schmuck engaged with my husband in mortgage bank fraud to dissolve the US!

  • - empty words - devoid of experience in business - lacking honest approach to answers - sadly not representing the future - not responsible in the present - not real on the history -

  • The funny thing that a lot of people don't realize is that the Republicans of Abraham Lincoln's times believed in, and legislated things that Democrats would now support. The Democrats of that time were much like Republicans of these times. The parties have completely swapped angles.

  • @jjb6369 You're exactly right. Obama is counting on a government educated populace with that remark.
