  • Sodom Hussein Obama... lawn jockey for the welfare plantation...

    Goodbye Obama... go run for president in Kenya where you came from...

  • I thought this was a joke - until I saw the date on this. Wow, is Obama every a lying sack of so-and-so.

  • Obama... he's a nightmare... When you are a phony like Obama ... it's hard to keep facts straight.

    Be on the lookout for snake oil salesmen & their cure all products, false claims with fake credentials, avoid their miracle cures which are actually get rich quick schemes which are targeted at those with chronic delusions .

  • -sigh- withdrawal set for 2014..

  • Our Co2 levels are not effecting the planet.... He's taxing a natural gas.... When the Dinosuars roamed the Co2 levels were 20x higher than what they are now! Climate change is a natural cycle that we cannot prevent or even effect.

  • Great country, great leader, spending like hell could save the country !

  • "Reagan taught us deficits don't matter" - Dick Cheney

  • Mr oblama has been in office just a little over a year, let's look at his accomplishments;

    * 787 BILLION DOLLARS On his Porkulus Stimulus Package

    * 3.6 TRILLION DOLLARS Socialist Filled Budget.

    * 2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS Health Care Reform - Fiasco

    * 800 BILLION DOLLARS wasted on Voodo ESCR

    * 700 BILLION DOLLARS Cap & TAX

    * Bank Bail-outs, Car Company Bail-0uts

    * 3 Billion Dollars on cash for junk cars.

    * 1.5 TRILLION DOLLARS TO THE FED.

    He needs to resign.

  • I hate it when some idiot like flyboywagner tries to act smart. I must've touched some nerve. He is trying to compare the "social programs" of the last 45 years- combined of a cost of $ 7 trillion- to come close to the $1 trillion/year defense industry. I don't know where his aggregate figures come from but finding the military budget is very easy. His 'Anti-Americanism' sounds like a played out Hannety soundbite. Nothing un-American about facts my man. I bet you he's on the defense dole also.

  • 1 TRILLION DOLLARS a year!!! Replace Obama with the first and foremost biggest cause of our woes, the defense industry. When I read these posts and I replace 'obama' with 'defense industry' as the cause of financial decline and taxes, the debate goes away and it just makes sense.

  • Hi AngryMalmsteen........The defense industry, or as it is elsewhere referred to as the "Military Industrial Complex" in the U.S. comprises approximately 3-5% of the country's GDP. On the other hand, govt social programs and entitlements, not to mention the 7 trillion $'s that have been spent on the "War on Poverty" ie; govt housing projects, welfare, etc since 1964 comprises nearly 30% of the GDP. I never took the "New Math" in school, but I think 30% is more than 6%. Take another look.

  • Before WWII, America grew very quickly. Since WWII and the Military Industrial Complex, we have created an industry that leeches off of our tax dollars. With 100 million workers in the US, that's $10,000 per person per year. With that much money at stake, you could assassinate anyone who gets in your way. Or in Bush's case, install a monkey puppet. Our defense industry needs wars. Talk about a handout, our defense industry is the biggest and most inefficient welfare program ever.

  • The defense budget for the US (not including wars) is 1 trillion dollars per year. You don't think the defense industry would do whatever it takes to pull the wool over our eyes. There is way too much money to be made. After WWII, the defense industry never dismantled or slowed down. Citizens don't automagically go to war, they have to be shepherded to it. Germany became that way starting with Hitler's bombing of his own Reichstag. he Gulf of Tonkin was a faked event that took us to Vietnam.

  • Hi again AngryMalmsteen..............it­'s me again. Sorry to burst your bubble again but you are barking up the wrong tree griping about tax bleeding for the military. See my previous comment. I agree with you that people have to be shepherded into things especially the dangerous marxist and socialist philosophies that you espouse and are unfortunately taught in our public (indoctrination mills) I mean schools. Anti-Americanism, anti business and anti capitalism are always on the menu.

  • He is killing off the middle class they want only two classes of people the Elite rich and the very poor no more middle class kiss it good bye we are screwed.

  • Hi shartne.........you've got it exactly right.  What our "Elected representatives" are striving for in this country is an elimination of the middle class through the destruction of private industry and a free market economy. They want us to emulate Europe........of 400 years ago. Kings, nobility,gentry, in short (Aristocracy) and surfdom. Kings and peasants. We'll all pay rent to the King for our place to live and won't be able to make a living.

  • Obama wants to shift the wealth back to the middle class?????? I'm sorry, was that a joke or something?

  • Obama is killing middle class Americans financially. We are fastly deteriorating. Obama has proved to us to be for government power and not for the people. He is greedy, as he spends tons of money on recreation while most of us are losing our jobs and houses. History proves that his strategies do not work. But no one in the govt. is listening.

  • Hi hesterpiper....it's me again. You're right again.

    don't you just hate being right all the time? Obama could be considered the Anti-Reagan. Ronaldus Maximus inherited a worse than bad econonomy from the socialist Carter administration and ran on a platform of across the board tax cuts. He reduced the top marginal tax rates from 78% to 35% and saw revenues to the govt treasury increase 3 fold as a result of the increased economic activity it produced. Doing the opposite? Stupid!

  • If you agree with the U.S Chamber that America is at a crossroads and our leaders in Washington must seriously consider new and innovative policies that promote a better, more confident, prosperous, and secure America in the 21st century, please visit their site and sign their petition.

  • Fact #1 the government is borrowing 50 cents for every dollar it spends this year.

    Fact #2 We are going to go broke and the corrupt bastards at the top already know this so they are bleeding our country dry before it happens.

    Fact #3 loading my AR15 When they bankrupt America they are dead.

  • I like your fact #3 Can I join ya? =)

  • Fact #4 after the bankruptcy of America and the killing and hanging of enough corrupt politicians I believe the constitution shall be restored from 200+ years of perversion twisted by greedy politicians and lawyers who have such forked tongues they could make torture legal

    its not matter of if but a matter of when,

  • and for those of you who don't actually know what the left and the right mean, i'll explain it.

    think of a horizontal line. at the very end of the right side is anarchy, at the very end of the left side is total/100% government control. in the middle is exactly how it sounds, in between. a right leaning govt means the gov't answers to the people. a left leaning gov't means they do whatever they want. we as americans are losing control, the govt has too much control. not the original intention

  • as of now, under the obama administration, the US government has more control now then it's ever had. we're definately not going in a good direction. history does repeat itself, everyone knows that. the reason for this is cuz it's disguised and appears to be the popular thing. obama for example is very popular, a great speaker. but so was hitler. i'm not saying he's hitler in any way, but he's leading our country farther and farther left.

  • Thomas Jefferson once siad, "when the people fear the government it's tyranny, when the government fears the people it's liberty.

    it's a good quote. i would recommend everyone to read a little more into politics(like actuall defintions of libert and tyranny and other stuff like that) before coming on here and ranting about why obama is the "savior" or the anti christ for that matter.

    anyways, government control is not a good thing for the people. read your history books. you'll see

  • SO unklebillybob, why don't YOU make the case of the Iraq invasion and PLEASE try not to tell any lies about WMDs or yellowcake.

    I served in the Navy during Vietnam and one of the ships that I served TAD on was the USS Turner Joy which was in the Tonkin Gulf in Aug. '64 which was allegedly fired upon by the North Vietnamese which LBJ used as the excuse to start the war in Vietnam. Even McNamara and the Navy now admit it NEVER HAPPENED. SURE sounds like Iraqi WMDs to me.

  • We're the same age(theoretically) and you don't; 1) Know why we went to Iraq, 2) How & when saddam used his WMDs to murder people, 3) Understand history.

    As for Viet Nam, sir, I am a combat Marine and I was in Viet Nam fighting the viet cong while you were riding in you little boat! DS

  • So you admit that Iraq and Vietnam were started with LIES? Certainly there was NO IMMINENT threat in EITHER case and criminal Texas Presidents cooked up a story to get America into war. HOW DARE YOU shame the memory of Marine Corps Major General Butler, the most decorated serviceman EVER who wrote the book "War is a Racket" . BOTH Iraq and Vietnam were started BY and FOR WAR PROFITEERS that Gen. Butler condemned. They LIED and you swalllowed it whole. Pathetic and disgraceful.

  • You're an ignorant ass, John!

  • And you need to go back to basic training for disrespecting a fellow vet. I know & work with a LOT of Marines & you come up short. While you were fighting the VC my "little boat: bombed Hanoi & mined Haiphong and did tactical operation in the South eighteen hours a day. 7 days a week A bullet is a bullet and just one bullet can kill but I'll bet we killed a LOT more of them than you ever did...without using the nukes we had. The general(IKE) that defeated Hitler warned you about warmongers.

  • Let's see,,, 3.5 trillion dollar loan on the backs of the American People. Depending upon the current interest rate, that's going cost the American People between 90 Billion to 175 Billion dollars a year in INTEREST ALONE. Yep, that's going to solve our financial problem. Waste (or burn) over 100 Billion Dollars a year so mr oblama can have 3.5 trillion dollars to PISS AWAY on his Pork Barrel Social Programs. DS doesn't know what he's doing!

  • The BUSH Sec. of the Treasury estimated in his book "The Price of Loyalty" that the Iraq war ALONE which BUSH refused to include in the budget would be THREE TRILLION DOLLARS most of it spent OUTSIDE of America with contractors like Halliburton now based in Dubai where it will pay NO US taxes. Spent on an ILLEGAL and IMMORAL war that did NOT have to be fought based on BUSH LIES. SO after that you are going to complain about Obama spending in the US where is WILL circulate and bring properity?

  • John, I can see young people being brain washed by liberal professors & the liberal media, but you sir, are old enough to know why we entered Iraq. Now, if you have been stuck in a cave for the past 20 + years, I'll give you a pass. But, I feel that you're just a flaming liberal and have lusted for your party to get into power, no matter how bad your presidential candidate was.

    I think you ment to say, "...oblama spending in the US where IT will circulate and bring PROSPERITY."

    IT WON'T

  • I have been a Republican for forty years. I joined the party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt & Ike. I despise the party of Nixon, Reagan and BUSH. However, it was REAGAN who alleged that giving the RICH enormous tax cuts that it would filter down and bring, as I said, prosperity. THat is OPPOSITE of what works. Giving tax cut to the middle class DOES work. The rich spirit their money OUTSIDE the US to tax shelters & hire NO AMericans or pay taxes. Worker money DOES. You are deceived.

  • As I said, John, you're a flaming liberal. You don't understand that a POOR MAN doesn't give anyone a job. It's a business man who gives people jobs. Enough Said!

  • WRONG! TOTALLY WRONG! It is the purchases of everyday Americans that RUN the economy and NOT the investments that the rich make in COMMUNIST RED CHINA that pay NO TAXES and HIRE NO AMERICANS. The PRC practices SLAVE LABOR and FORCED ABORTION. THAT is what YOU support.

  • thats cuz liberals want to tax the shit out of the companies that make the most money. if incentives were given to big companies to employ americans, then they would keep their business in the US. for example, for every 10 employees a 5,000 tax cut. companies would hire more americans and have more money to pay them and give them raises. the more employees they have the less taxes they pay, the more people have jobs. right now companies are over seas cuz there's no incentive for them.

  • By FAR, the worst WELFARE program in the US is CORPORATE WELFARE. HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS are handed out to large corporations every year and often they use that to invest in countries like COMMUNIST RED CHINA that practices FORCED LABOR and FORCED ABORTION. They keep that money OUTSIDE the US and pay NO TAXES and hire NO AMERICANS. The conservative goal is to bleed the Federal government dry so they can KILL IT. If we have government by, for and OF the PEOPLE, that means YOU.

  • dude are you seriously talking about handouts??? i think it's a bad arguement to debate a conservative(considering current times) about handouts given to large corporations lol. that's just too funny that you brought that up. i know what govt for the people means thank you very much. right now it's not for me though. it's all about the govt, and that's a bad thing. in contrast, bush was no better. the govt has too much power, th epower needs to come back to us.

  • giving tax benefits to corporations is not welfare by any means. in order to recieve welfare you have to make money lol, and corps make lots of it. you have a good point, that most corps will outsource to save their money and keep the tax benefits for themselve instead of filtering back to the system. maybe laws should be passed to change that, such as, corps will only get the tax benifits if it's used to filter back into america, like paying employees more.

  • higher taxes will just drive the big corporations out of the country. that's what has already happened. i've heard an idea a little while back that income tax should be eliminated for everyone, and that sales tax should be higher. i'm not sure how effective that would be. if you think about it though, big companies would more likely hire americans. obama's current plan to raise taxes on big companies is just going to drive jobs out of the country though. that's a proven fact.

  • Large manufacturing companies leave America because:

    They can avoid paying US taxes sometimes altogether.

    They do not have to attend to employee safety of benefits.

    They get the cooperation of countries that practice slave labor and are totalitarian dictatorship.

    For the NEOCONS who are behind these practices it is be best of both worlds. They can live where they have freedom and are secure and make money where they can practice the policies that they beleive in.

  • hmm well then it makes sense for them to leave the country huh? if that's the case then it seams the problem will never be solved now will it? obama's plan is to tax the companies more. a real soloution would be to make it attractive to keep business in america, and hire americans. but instead he just wants to chase them down and tax the shit out of them. maybe income tax should just be eliminated all together. it would keep businesses in america, and more amercians would have jobs.

  • The ONLY way to make large corporations totally happy is to bring back slavery, eliminate corporate tax. give tax breaks to executives and eliminate all pollution laws, safety laws and government regulation.

    OR enforce the laws on tax evasion, levy duties on imports from slave countries like China, arrest and convict corp execs that hire illegals, deport illegals and give breaks to the working man. Reatganomics NEVER worked, DEREGULATION NEVER worked and America is supporting China slavery.

  • if the obama administration goes and punishes everyone for tax evasion and all the other corrupt things they do, they'll simply just completely 100% take their business out of the country. they'll make it a company that has nothing to do whatsoever with america. then they'll take their earnings and buy a "vacation house" in the US and live in that all year long. the real solution is to make it worth keeping their business in the US. if it's not worth it, then they'll go somewhere else.

  • Hi pokkeylilpuppy..........I like the way you think. We could look at the examples of history, modern history, ie; Bolshevik revolution in Russia, Mao's China, Pol Pots Vietnam, Koscieskus Romania, and on and on and on. But why spend all that time when we can just look at nearly every "Blue" state on the map of the U.S. They're economically depressed, hi unemployment and taxes so hi that businesses can't afford to do business anymore. Who can blame them for moving out?

  • your absolutely right. so yeah, when you say "who can blame them for moving out?" my response to that is... i don't know. maybe idiots. if i was poor, had no job, payed ridiculous taxes, i'd be moving to someplace else too. higher taxes don't really solve anything. it just drives people away.

  • it's really not rocket science, these companies already have enough money to where if they really wanted to they'll just completely leave, and start the same exact thing in a different country and still sell to their same buyers and make even more of a profit. taxing more for success is not the solution. lol. we need large companies to stay in america and employ americans, that's what really drives the economy. not high taxes. with hihger taxes people save more and spend less. think about it.

  • I worked foi the sixth largest corporation in America that paid NO TAXES AT ALL in the last four out of five years they were in business. They falsified their accounting, moved jobs overseas and then stole sixty-eight billion from the employees and shareholders, stole their life savings and put them out of work. That corporation was BUSH's NUMBER ONE SUPPORTER in 2000, paid the legal fees for BUSH in Bush vs Gore and paid for the inaugeration. It won ALL the awards for best corp in America.

  • and what company would that be?

  • exenrontexas: You babble alot but say nothing. Americans buy foreign products because they are cheap. Companies move overseas to compete for this business . Companies move for many reasons but this is the main one. So you can spout all the bullshit you want about greedy this and greedy that, but the fact still remains, we buy foreign goods because they're cheap. Just look at Walmart's profits, they keep raising every year, the worst the economic conditions the better their profits.

  • i though republicans said " deficits dont matter"

  • Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­o. thank you ,,, sorry for yelling --------

  • I've been reading these FranzHess comments on other you tube sites.  It is all the same rhetoric.

  • In the press conference Obama has proven himself to be a full blown idiot. I didn't come in until 9:30, but can anyone explain to me how private spending on healthcare causes budget deficit increases? That was one of his comments. Obama is in way over his head.

  • Don't let the fact that most of this spending is creating badly needed jobs.

    I see plenty of Obama haters on here calling others stupid, instead of getting the education they desperately need.

    What we learned from the New Deal was that we didn't spend nearly enough money. WWII came about, and the ecomonic boom that followed proved that was the case.

    Obama and his advisers know this. Be glad someone in the WH has actually studied history, instead of climbing on the Hooverite bandwagon.

  • Unfortunately, none of the spedning will create J-O-B-S. BHO stated that effects will not be seen until 2010 or later. What will happen in the meantime? Seems to me that NO ONE on the WH can tell their asses from first base.

  • If there is a better plan to fight the recession, we'd all love to hear about it.

    So far, you sound just like the rest of the repubs, otherwise known as the NO Party. No solutions, No ideas, and No cooperation.

  • I am an independent and a Conservative. The Republicans have indeed been obstructionists, sometimes with good cause. On one aspect I am in total agreement with Republicans.  When they say NO, I agree that NO should be the answer when Obama is talking about more spending of money he doesn't have.

  • What is your plan to head off the recession?

  • The recession will correct itself if the government would quit trying to fix everything. The "Great Depression" could have been averted if the politicians had simply stuk to what they know, and stayed out of business, which most know nothing about.

  • Sweet Obama is as big a liar as any modern day president. No earmarks....right. He's paying someone back or someone has him controlled. Obama is a plain liar and all you who voted for him are duped............admit it

  • At last count oblama spent nearly $700,000,000 to buy the White House.

  • Those that voted for him are too stupid or lulled into his rhetoric from drinking the KoolAid to know any better

  • Ah, no, it's known as politics. Obama did the smart thing, and let the earmarks stand, in order to get the stimulus package put through ASAP, which is exactly what is needed.

    No use stepping over dollars to pick up dimes. Obama was exactly right on this, I'm glad he didn't stick to an ideology in order to look good, and instead, did what was best for the country.

    We are way past worrying about earmarks, right now. I mean, WTF, we can spend billions in Iraq, but not in our own country???

  • Ah, no, the stimulus was NOT needed, it was merely a payoff by Obama to those who paid for his election, and did nothing to assist those in financial difficulty. The argument against earmarks was not about the money, it was about Obama's "Rookie status" (Inexperience) and the fact that ha cannot stick to a promise, and so cannot be trusted. Your Iraq comment is a Red Herriing that the left seems intent on tossing out when they run out of arguments.

  • The stimulus was NOT NEEDED? Lol, what a hoot.

    So what happens when banks are no longer loaning money?

    How do you explain the Great Depression...or should we go through that, as well?

    Correct itself, right. It was obviously well on it's way to doing just that.

  • As I said, the "Great Depression would have been just another short recession if FDR had left it alone and stopped trying to "Fix" it. Politicians are historically bad at business, that is why they leave business for politics, they can't make it in the business world so they go to politics to get rich through payoffs and kickbacks. The current downturn was two years old when Obama got elected, because Congress under the DNC leadership couldn't stand to just leave it alone.

  • beware governments with too much power. Next we will taxed on how much we drive in the name of a cleaner environment. Overall the federal system has lost a lot of credibility, and why would I want to invest in a failing system. No fiscal restraint. Eventually it will get to a point where anything unlawful passed by the govt. won't be enforced that restricts a free society. I'm tired of a Congress which sponges off the public. They should be the first to lose their pensions and perks.

  • FranzHess,

    your comments are a bunch of BS and Obama and Congress have really shown their true hand. Obama has already misled the public this early in the game. Has he said no earmarks? Then what was with the AIG bonuses. In general Congress can't leave well enough alone especially with who is in power now. If this goes into Depression, I guarantee you it will be because a govt. that has overreached. Just a matter of time and possible. Pelosi, Reid, and Obama are jokes.

  • Cut out welfare and all entitlement programs. Cut out pensions for unions. Reduce corp taxes. Increase cash flow into the peoples' hands ...not steal it

  • We already have the lowest social benefits of any country in the developed world, and the American worker is the most overworked. Only about 9% of American workers are unionized, but I agree that most of the Unions are leeching the system. We need a more progressive taxation of the rich, reinvestment in domestic industry, and drastic military spending cuts - we spend 6 times more on our military than any other country on the planet.

  • I totally disagree with higher taxes. Unless you cut spending, NO ONE will spend

  • Anyways, I disagree with higher tax rates too. But I think the burden of taxation needs to be redistributed, and the government's budgeting priorities need to be changed drastically.

  • Your stats are oh so incorrect. 12.4% of salaried employees are in a union. It increased .3% from last year.

  • Maybe for salaried employees, the general figure was around 9% last I read.

  • "It increased .3% from last year"

    It has not. Even union is allowing people in with out any training just to get their memeber count up. We call them card buyers. The more card buyers that come in. The more of us trained workers drop out. The count is way down. oh and unio workers are hourly not salaried. It's against most union rules to be payed salary.

  • You need to look at the stats from the US Bureau of Labor Standards...That's where these numbers are from. Where did you get yours?

  • My stats are from the International's of different unions.

    Being i'm in a union I do get the news letters. And in them show how many members as well as intake of dues. the dues are way down. Because the membership is way down. US Bureau of Labor Standards is ran by the same people that what to bust all unions.

  • And your stats are from an org that is trying to paint a different picture. I wouldn't believe those thugs at all

  • Did you miss something here? I am in a union. i know what is being handed down from the international's.

    "SMWIA, the Sheet Metal Workers' International Association, represents 150,000 skilled craftpersons throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico"

    memebers are down so bad that SMWIA had to combined with, Railroad Workers, International as well as the America's Shipyards International.

    So your .3% from last year won't catch up to where we were a year before that.

  • Is english your first language? My comments are clear and I stand by those stats...not those issued by an objective party, hellbent of preserving their ridiculous entitlements.

  • That's it, you gave up? All you have is you can't understand?

    Unions are hurting. if they wern't they wouldn't be worried about the Employee Free Choice Act. Which allows illegals to become union. it allows people to be part of the union without going through the training of a trade.

    Yes it's sad but all unions are backing socialism.

    And the only reason I'm think of dropping from mine.

  • Why should I even waste time with a close-minded illerate geezer who has NO clue about business finances or responsibility? You should NOT be entitled to a pension or healthcare provided by the union..That has driven up costs....save your own money (give up bowling for awhile) and take care of yourself.

  • Activists groups and Unions act for the sake of creating support for their causes. Just as with any statistics you need to look at the process a group used to get measure those values. Most groups don't care about accuracy and so "mutant statistics" are created which exaggerate the "dark figure" of studies. Dark figures are the incidents and event that ultimately go unreported.

  • Their causes. you do know it was the unions the pushed for all the minimum wage increase's. Not the everyday worker, or companies. That would ever be a minimum wage increase if it wasn't for the unions. They are the ones that spend the most and push the hardest for minimum wage increase. if it wasn't for the unions pushing for minimum wage increase, the wage would still be $2.25 an hour.

  • In before "Obama Recession" comments.

  • Comrade Obama could care less about the stock markets....his "peeps" don't even know what that is.

  • Woot Robin Hood!
