President Obama on Economics (2007)

[azrial4421]

Love the title, Dumbass on economics.

[ePhilosopher9]

douchebags will be unsustainable

/watch?v=ZuMnkrp63fA

[Pacovl8]

hey im from europe and when are you stopping an so called war against terrorism mr obama with all youre technology you cant find some desert rats? i mean youre lying man goddamn lyinn to all of us

[honipop]

Obama is a fraud.... martial law is very , very likely...

[RomeoWhiskeyNovember]

Economic growth comes from the ingenuity of the people? Wow where'd you get that idea.

Of course it does, it doesn't come from cats and dogs.

Obama is such an idiot.

[deinse81]

It isn't the producing individual who profits from the prosperity of those who rely on the state's willingness to loot with a gun in hand, mr. Obama.

The only people anyone can profit from is the people who produce more than they consume, and they are an increasinlgy small minority. They are the ones who support this country, not the majority who gave you the power to loot in their name, Mr. President. And guess what, the loot is running out, soon your masses will starve again,like in the 30's.

[medartist01]

DelusionalDeinse81, youre funny. The Republican CEOs that cut worker wages, cut their benefits, laid off thousands, moved factories to Mexico to milk low-wage jobs, avoided paying taxes, played bingo with the financial markets by accepting no-income, nothing-down mortgages, so they could sell them quickly to stuff even more cash into their fat, pig-Republican CEO pockets is what happened. You ARE a moron. Obama inherited this steaming pile of shit from you Republican borrow-and-spenders.

[deinse81]

So let them fail. Why did Obama and the Democratic party vote en-mass to bail them out?

If you don't want them, if this country doesn't need rich people, if this country just needs common working men, then don't deal with rich people and CEO's.

If corporations are evil, why are you relying on the taxes they pay? Why not just separate yourself completely from them, and have Obama fill your needs without their dirty money?

Have your social justice, and survive by it. Don't rely on my "greed".

[jackjohn6921]

Obama ain't as ignorant or unaware as the "experienced" politicians...

Good thing we'll have him for President. Makes me proud to be American again. Hopefully, he tries as hard as he can to fulfill each and every single one promise he made. The audience is waiting.

[wigahiga]

Bush is republican? Nixon was republican? Reagen was a republican? and Hoover was republican? AND THEY ALL SUCKED! Bush fucked us over so hard. Hoover drove us into The Great Depression. Nixon tried to sabotage the Democrats campaign. Reagen took all the credit from Jimmy Carter who worked his ass off for this country. Reagen DID NOT DO SHIT! Democrats use clean money from donors, Republicans use dirty money from oil companies. The oil companies knew repub gonna lose so they held out on mccain.

[AdeptPatriot]

If you really knew what you were talking about you would see that the largest spurts in economic growth actually came from those republican presidents the ones who take all the credit from others, the ones who take money from oil companies not honest thieves like the democrats! hahahaha! lol!

[medartist01]

That spurt you saw from the latest Republican fiscally-nutts President created the trainwreck you see right now, moron. OMG, are you an idiot. Youre actually proud of the calamity that Bush has made of this once proud country. The largest economic growth in recent memory came from Bill Clinton, or are you also ignorant in history? Pathetic revisionist Republicans. Bush-Reagan tripled the national debt, and spent us into a recession. It took Clinton 8 yrs to get us out. Man are you stoooopid.

[Hamburgerice]

Doesn't matter what any political person says on the PODIUM... IT only matters if they keep their promises.

They can say anything & from my Experience & will break their vows to uphold what they said they would do... NO one will call them on it! WHY? even though all politicians lie... NO ONE gets fed up with LIARS! - DEMS & REP & GREEN & INDEPENDS ETC.. They just want the "Seats Filled" at $500 a pop & they'll say anything to get that done.

Does anyone actually believe "they" will save you?

[steelsolid]

Oh and it is funny that Senator Robert Byrd, a one time KKK member, endorses Obama.

[undone1963]

"Oh and it is funny that Senator Robert Byrd, a one time KKK member, endorses Obama.

It's called party loyalty. To Byrd getting Obama elected just solidifies his parties control. His endorsement doenn't mean he like the idea of a half-black in the Office of President.

[steelsolid]

Notice McCain spends majority of his time and energy TRYING to discredit Obama and less energy on telling HOW he will try to make the country better. He always say "I will do this", "I will do that", but never tell you HOW he plans on trying to achieve it. I doubt he even knows. That's why EVERYONE knows Obama's plan and nothing much about McCain's.

[lasiksurgeons]

If you want war here on America's Streets then vote for Barack Bin Ladin

If you want the war to stay out of America's Streets vote for McCain

AMERICA WAKE UP VOTE MCCAIN

Why would we elect a Muslim for president when we are at war with Muslim countries

[superharry1]

Obama's a Christian, you fucking idiot. Try reading a newspaper every once and a while

[undone1963]

Not a very good Christian if he supports killing unborn children and considers homosexuality normal.

[superharry1]

You're referring to abortion, and he doesn't 'support' abortion, he allows people that aren't of his same denomination to choose whether to abort or not. And who are you to say homosexuality isn't normal? "God loves you just the way you are, except if you're gay". If it's so abnormal, why does it exist?

[undone1963]

I never said God doesn't love homosexuals. God said that homosexuality is sin. God hates sin. Torah, Bible and Quran allow condemn homosexual behavior.

If abortion is a bad thing, and you allow it to happen, isn't that supporting it?

Kind of like police allowing crime. After all, bank robbery is just a choice of profession isn't it?

[superharry1]

Thank you for successfully negating your first point about homosexuality.

Yes, but abortion is bad according to your beliefs, not the beliefs of everyone else. Comparing someone who has an abortion to a bank robber is ridiculous, because a bank robber consciously chooses to steal money at the expense of others.

A girl who has an unplanned pregnancy has the right to choose the direction her life takes. If you don't like it, ban it within your household, not everyone else's.

[AlaskanAssassin87]

The girl has the right to choose the direction her life takes, but her child doesn't?

That's a little two-face

[superharry1]

When people start calling eggs chickens, seeds trees and food turds, then you can call a fetus a child.

[AlaskanAssassin87]

If you kill a pregnant lady you're charged with a double homicide.

[deinse81]

You're talking out of your ass. First off, you don't even have any evidence that there is a God, let alone that he told you his sexual preferences and his take on abortion, or stem cell research.

Where are you coming up with all this stuff from?

[YIRMASTER]

So you believe everything you read in the biased newspapers?

When is the last time you seen them write something negative about the democrats during this election run? Ah...huh!

[superharry1]

Ever watch Fox News?

[qbadge3]

really we are at war with countries? which countries?

[adjectivesedu]

We are not at war with Muslim countries! We are fighting Muslim extremists in Muslim countries! The fact that you can't tell the difference negates anything you want to say. Learn before you hate!

Peace

[ElleMao]

How 'bout no war, dildo? Now hunting a moose, one day it might be a Russian. Don't tell me to wake up. I never slept.

You're pretty uninformed for a surgeon. You do surgery on fish in middle or nowhere or what? No wonder why someone like Palin gets picked cus unfortunately there are plenty of Americans that can relate to her - dumb, uninformed, selfish, only care about his/her part of the land.

[embretr]

shared prosperity's a great concept

[TheSplayds]

Yeah - shared property is a wonderful lovely feel good concept that give you exciting warm tingles... until you realise it's your property (read money) that's being shared. But hey - beats working for a living right? Good luck!

[just0that0guy]

Fuck you, you dont know what people are going through. My dad is struggling to get along he has 4 kids and a wife and is barely making it and theres fools like you who are greedy and ignorant. If McCain becomes president i hope your house is the first to foreclose.

[hmangum1]

"Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem." - Ronald Reagan

[mrjugger]

yeah i agree Reagan was a fool

[hmangum1]

If you're supporting obama because of his tax cuts, realize that any tax gains you may receive from the government will be taken from companies who pass on the taxes to the consumer, so, guess what - you're paying more for the stuff you bought! Bye bye wellfare check.

mccain 08

[Darkaxe92]

This coming from a socialist. A liar. Someone whos close friend is a terrorist. His aunt is here illegally. He has changed his plans for economic reform like 100+ times. Yet for some reason this guy is winning in any polls? that scares me-why is it people keep igonoring these facts?-not to mention Obama is inexperienced. Or that he voted "Present" 100 & some odd times.

[darkbladex080]

rofl darkaxe92 its funny how mccain brianwashed u if u look at mccains interveiws ull see he says obama is not a terrorist or muslim or a socialist

[megapahis]

This coming from someone named "Darkaxe92". An idiot. Someone who is married to his cousin. Get back to your basement. No matter how hard ignorant rednecks like you try to bash Obama, he WILL win. He WILL lead the United States of America.

[luniiinha]

hahahhahahha your comment made my day, megapahis

[xav17r]

darkaxe92, you must be one of the most absent mined retard existing on the face of the earth,

seriously, go do some research and educate yourself

[westerling69]

CHEER AS YOU SEE THEM RETREAT!!!!! You will be fighting on 2 fronts. On one end you will defend the constituion against tyranny, on the other you will be fighting rioters and looters.... Make it simple for yourselves... Play by their rules... DO NOT DESCRIMINATE YOUR TARGETS, fight for your life...

[jtheyellow]

lol helter skelter.

You need some Hope.

[westerling69]

If they succeed in disarming you, within one year you will be microchipped or incinerated... My friends... ARM YOURSELVES NOW, set your perimeters NOW, have drills NOW, post lookouts NOW, have your commo in place for early warning NOW, be prepared to man your positions so that you can begin engaging them before they get to your door, before they exit the main hwy...

[westerling69]

Dont drink the Koolaide people... Either way there will be civil war, depression, followed by mass roundups, disarmement WITHOUT descrimination. Whites, Blacks, Chinese, Mexicans..you name it.... They will not care if you were downtown throwing rocks or in suburbia in your rocking chair having nothing to do with it... The rioting will invoke martial law for everyone, everywhere and they will be coming to your door to disarm you...

[westerling69]

You think Obama believes all that civil rights shit he is talking ????? Ask yourselves this... How did a Black candidate manage to run up front in a U.S. Presidential election if this country is so descriminatory towards blacks ???? Thats mind boggeling. Obama is up there, A BLACK DUDE sayin this country is unfair towards BLACKS??? Somebody wanted him up there talking all this civil rights shit for a reason...

[xav17r]

he's up there because race works both ways, being black was both an advantage and a disadvantage to him

[westerling69]

Obama is an elitist asset just like muhammad atta, bin laden and the rest... who will either lose and There will be civil war, or win and be assasinated by the elite, who will blame it on whitey and there will be civil war..., We americans dont ever learn and neither do these lil dumb ass muslims who keep falling for this shit...

[westerling69]

They dont even care about whites... This is an illusion... it is a set UP.... HELLO ALL YOU AFRICAN AMERICANS OUT THERE.... COLIN POWELL WAS A HIGHLY DECORATED 4 STAR GENERAL, won the first Iraq war in 3 days when there was actually a military in Iraq...in fact the 3rd largest in the world.... He would have made a great Black president ... BUT HE SAID... SHIIIT I aint doin that...

[westerling69]

How many of you ever known a brother that would have the balls to become president in this country where gov even blows the head off of white presidents who are out of line ??? I mean come on be serious... Do you actually think there is someone up there in DC that gives a fuck about any of you races out there ????

[westerling69]

This whole election setup was to divide this nation in the midst of an economic breakdown. Do you actually believe for a minute this election consisted of a real african american who was sincere about the needs of his fellow african americans? First ask yourselves this question.

[DaHoodAvenger]

OBAMA ALREADY WON YALL.Fuck all yall bitch ass honkeys.We gonna paint da white house black yall.Obama yall it gon b aobama.

[GreyNation2008]

Republicans are the biggest crooks of our time... Smart, yes, but crooks none the less.

B.O will be a grat president. Too bad, if he wins, he will spend much of his time fixing the debacle that Bush is leaving behind.

[YIRMASTER]

By spending and writing checks he don't have the money for? Where is he going to get the money for that? Taxing the rich? it aint enough!

[GreyNation2008]

Oh your talking about Bush right? I thought so... Because thats just what Bush did and is doing. And its the reason why our country is suffocating right now financially. And thats just what John Mccain favored Bush on 92% of the time. You should listen to Obama with the same bias ear you listen to Mccain with. Or perhaps read Obama's economic plan on his website. Building our economy from the bottom up is smart. The foundation is the middle class right? right! And thats who Obama fights for!

[TheJustinTM]

Let's not generalize. Corruption can be found in any political party. Mr. Obama is all about uniting and working together with everyone to accomplish goals that benefit everyone - even the people that are against him.

[GreyNation2008]

You're absolutely right.

But I stand firm in my opinion that republicans are the biggest crooks of our time. Well, my time at least. You have to look no further than the election they stole to put G.W Bush in the White House. Crooks.

[BrainDeadRepublican]

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

[scott1717171717]

your correct that it cannot exist as a permanent form of gorvernment if you're working under the premise that nothing is permanent,everything ends eventually. democracy has worked in the u.s. for over 200 years,a testement to the framers of our constitution,probably the most perfect and insightful document in the history of mankind

[551520]

Mesg for BO and Team: I am worried abt the voter fraud...hecking voting machine..vote Obama..but casted for Mcain..exp Simpsons. Plz make a campaign announce..to take the receipt...report such incidents...advise to vote on papers...plz...THEY will COOK anything.

[bipasha1261973]

I think that if McCain is elected there's the beggining of the great deppression and if Obama gets' elected know i guess some dumb people said that they will assasinate him if he is elected but i don't get why I think we should all get ready for the great depression becase i doubt Obama will win know me i can't tell u who im would vote for but it's not in my hands 1. im not over 18 2.there are people out there that will fight becasue of who each one will vote for i don't wan't that to happen

[Fish880]

Way to go America! Youve selected the two least-capable people to fix the mess we are in. It's almost like we have a choice between natural or synthetic horse manure! Give yourselves a pat on the back...

[TruthSurge]

Speaking of economy and Obama, here is an interesting vid on McCain and economics.

watch?v=IDofbll86dY&feature=em­ail

[thepoliticalmind]

Obama is the biggest fraud of a Presidential candidate in U.S. history. Smooth talking doesn't work.

He is such a 'smooth talker'. America is not fooled.

[indscrub]

so you'd rather have someone that cannot competently speak their first language over someone who has good annunciation and concise, structured sentences?

[birdsfan25]

This man wants to spread the wealth to his country as well. Look at his tax plan he wants to do what Hoover did and Hoover failed

[GreyNation2008]

You say this as if any politician, including Mccain and Palin have done anything but 'talk'. Thats what they get paid to do. Talk. Talking is what "youre" doing now, but you get to type it. Talking is whats won elections from the beginning of time. Would you rather them fight it out. Oh, my bad, Mccain would get his ass kicked, lol. And Palin would bring a gun to a boxing match with her college flunkie mentality. Or would you rather them Play a game of Madden for the white house? Mccain talks 2!

[judmeffer]

Obama's 'community organizer' work was working with ACORN, the group that harrassed banks into granting loans to people who couldn't repay them (also the group in trouble for voter fraud). Some of Obama's current advisors were involved with ACORN too.

Wake up people, you have to look further into things than what the OLD biased media tells you.

[halgarth]

Ha ha ha! Some people really get that "in political hit job, anything goes" attitude. Fat chance anyone can "harass" banks into granting loans. Why don't you give it a try yourself?

[313urbanlegend]

I think dlickflicks should run for office, since it seams that he has all of the answers. He said "He's (Obama)lying when he says he won't raise taxes on the Middle class. I've already looked at the realistic numbers, and Obama would be far worse on us than McCain. Far worse!" McBush doesnt even know what the middle class makes............ BECAUSE HE DON'T CARE! Uhh Duh? (I've already looked at the realistic numbers...) LMAO!!!

[elchingon0522]

P.S. If McCain in anyone in Star Wars he's the dusty old fart of an Emperor.

[blicksflicks]

As for the Obama tax cuts, we make 60K a year, and Obama would kill us. He's lying when he says he won't raise taxes on the Middle class. I've already looked at the realistic numbers, and Obama would be far worse on us than McCain. Far worse! The Middle Class makes up the majority of Americans, elchingon. Raising taxes on us is not the answer.

[elchingon0522]

What proof do you have he's lying? What have you been reading, FAUX News talking points? Where are you geting your information? Do you know something that these EXPERTS IN THEIR FIELD don't? Look at the American Tax Center's analysis. I could just as easily say John McCain is lying and he's gonna triple taxes on any one making less than $5 mil a year (which according to him is where he draws the line for being rich) Less accusations and more proof blicks...

[blicksflicks]

elchingon0522, I've seen past elections with Democrats, and they're lying when they say they're only going to raise taxes on the top 5%. Obama will not keep Bush's tax cuts like McCain. He will increase taxes in every form. On this video side bar, check out "Barack Obama Lies To America." He also lied about not being in church when Reverend Wright made those anti-American comments. Man, I wasn't born yesterday. This man was friends with Tony Rezko, a Chicago mob boss who has been indicted!

[bryanamburgey]

he keeps the bush cuts, except for those who make over 250k. their rates go back to the 90s rates. still less than under reagan! rezkos indictment had nothing to do with obama, and the guilt by association argument could work against anyone. lets put country first, and vote obama biden.

[blicksflicks]

bryan, man, you don't have a clue about Obama. He has already said that he will abolish the Bush tax cuts. Man, are you drinking the Kool-Aid or what!?

[birdsfan25]

By doing that he will raise taxes blicksflicks, his plan is not to tax anyone that is not making 250,000 plus. Any one under that will not pay taxes!!! who gives us jobs in the world the poor. No, I don't think so! People will get a hand out at the end of the year but inflation will occur and the more he raises taxes people wont be able to pay there taxes. There businesses will go out of business. The Bush tax plan helped small businesses that grow into big business.

[blicksflicks]

birdsfan, yeah, I know. Also, if you look at McCain's economic plan, it's cutting taxes. I mean, everyone knows that when people are less plagued by taxes that they are happier and spend more money. When people spend money the economy flourishes. When small businesses can expand and hire people, more jobs are created. I just don't understand the Democrats. They are absolutely insane.

[blicksflicks]

birds, what about all the people who have retirement issues? My mother will be retiring in the next eight years. She's worked over 40 years of her life, and the Capital Gains would destroy her if Obama is elected. No way! NOBAMA! What about 401Ks? I mean, this is so bad that people need to wake up, you know?

[birdsfan25]

it pisses me off its said that people don't see his corruption he is in capable to lead. He said he has been to the 57 states in America, you do know there are 57 Islamic states. This man scares me I have ever intention of enlisting myself into the military but if obamination is elected no way I will not serve this country for a fraud. He also has a half brother named Abongo Roy Obamination who is an Islamic Radical

[blicksflicks]

And once again - those 57 Islamic states - makes me wonder something. Why was Obama traveling around the world in Summer of 1981 and visiting some of these Islamic states!??? He went to Pakistan, Indian, Indonesia and Africa! Oh yeah, it's time to worry!

[YIRMASTER]

There go the dems again, cant rebute your argument so just give negative feedback!

[NACKUL]

Cool. Now please give me sources or STFU. You are just blabbing on about something you have STILL not proved. You want answers? Stop taking whats given to you and go find the truth. I suggest staying away from FOX, CNN, and NBC, they are highly biased on both sides.

[birdsfan25]

This guy is corrupt face it. He wants to raise capital gains tax on small businesses. First off small businesses don't pay capital gains tax. He also wants to tax corporations hello corporations don't pay taxes we do on the stuff we buy. This guy is a job killing machine!!!!

[blicksflicks]

Oh yeah! You know it. His Socialist perspective on the American economy will push an already reeling economy into the abyss. It's not like everyone doesn't know Democrats and the dirty books of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac about snapped our economy. I'm shocked people would see this truth on the news and still consider voting for a Democrat, you know? Socialism? Spreading wealth around? Man, that's just insane! I agree with you.

[GreyNation2008]

income taxes you dumb fuck! FEDERAL INCOME! Not STATE! LOL 98% of small businesses dont make over 250k! 98%!!! And the bottom line is, if the middle class doesnt have MONEY to buy the goods and services of these "coporations" more and more of them will FAIL!!! get it, fail!!! So Obama wants to build aka grow the middles class, which is the foundation of our economy. Also, Obama has incentives in the form of tax breaks that would help small businesses provide health care for their employees.

[YIRMASTER]

I like these typical no nothing Obama drones, giving negative feedback because they have nothing intelligent to say in return.

We're gonna be screwed for the next couple years and maybe that's just what it's gonna take for the blind deaf & dumb Democrat followers to finally know just why the republican party was created to start with.

[elchingon0522]

It's excessive de-regulation that got us where we are now. You're spewing non-sense queenambeach

[arthurbrandjr]

queenambeach is exactly correct. the govt caused this starting with janet reno and finished with our current horrible govt. reno threaten to sue lenders for discrimination if they kept the practice of "red-lineing" of poor and minority neighborhoods. ppl like jackson, sharpton and the naacp was complaining. and clinton, pandersing, sent his attack dog reno against the lenders. so freddy mac and fanny mae was created to back these risky loans to broke and poor ppl.....

[givethemahand]

arthur- Rules against red lining never required making loans to unqualified borrowers.

"The first victim of partisan politics is the truth."

[arthurbrandjr]

....then the rest of the greedy lenders followed suit now that the feds wanted ppl who couldnt afford homes a way to get one. so whats the big damn surprise now?!!?! wow, broke ppl cant pay their bills. if the govt wouldnt have just stayed out of this and forceing lenders to find ways to give broke and poor ppl loans, this never would have happened. thats why socialism does not work. and obamas answer. more govt bail out. should have let the lenders fail and took the big hit

[elchingon0522]

Hahaha, let the lenders take a hit and watch the housing market & economy float further up shit creek? You're saying we should let even more Americans lose their houses and savings just to teach the rich and greedy a lesson? Giving minorities and the poor opportunities to acheive the American dream didn't lead us to this crisis; predatory lenders, greedy corporations, & 2 terms of inept Conservative leadership did. Your comments prove how little you know...

[blicksflicks]

elchingon0522, if you think for one second what Obama says in his speeches is true, you really have drank the Kool-Aid. That man is lying out his mouth, and there is no way that the Obama tax plan will keep the Bush tax cuts. No possibility. If you compare the amount Bush taxes people to the amount Obama will tax people, you'll see the reality. Just compare Clinton's taxes to Bush's current tax plan. Clinton mostly charged everyone more in taxes. You make no sense.

[birdsfan25]

blicksflicks, so true Clinton did tax us more but everyone believes a Democrat is out for the middle class they are not... Democrats are socialists!!! Socialism leads to communism. Liberals want free health care tell me how will that work here when HMO'S are our backbone. Look at Canada how it expensive it is because of the free health. Canada pays an arm and a leg on taxs for health and it isn't fare there. Why should someone pay for someone who doesn't care about themselves.

[blicksflicks]

Yep, Hero before Zero for me. I look at McCain's life, and he is the essence of what an American President should be.

[birdsfan25]

I ask myself everyday if I spent 20 years in a KKK church preaching hate towards America and blacks than one day I woke up and denounced them after 20 years would anyone vote for me if I were running for President.

[blicksflicks]

birds, yes! He said 57 states, but he said that because if anyone looks deeper, they'll see that there are 57 Islamic states! Now, how do you make that kind of mistake!? Easy! You were born in Kenya! Oh my! His grandmother says he was BORN IN KENYA! And the two reporters that went to Kenya to find the truth were kicked out by the government! Man, it's time to get very concerned!

[blicksflicks]

birdsfan, check this out: The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international organization with a permanent delegation to the United Nations. It groups 57 member states, from the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, Caucasus, Balkans, Southeast Asia, South Asia and South America. The official languages of the organisation are Arabic, English and French.

[Fish880]

Wait birdsfan, are you talking about Robert Byrd, the only person in either house who is a confirmed Klansmen and guess what? A DEMOCRAT! Rumor has it he is known as "sheets". He even filibustered the Civil Rights Act. Now he says Obama will make a good prez... Democrats, starting with Andrew Jackson are the racist morons who tried to keep slavery going. Now they try to make up for their past with all this PC bullshit. "Political correctness is just tyranny with manners."-Charleton Heston

[blicksflicks]

Oh! You know what else? He traveled around the world, went to Harvard and Columbia on Sally Mae College Loans!? I don't think so! I graduated college twice with two Bachelor's degrees. I had money but not enough to take a trip around the world and visit four countries! And especially not enough to transfer to Harvard and Columbia!

[danxcountry17]

I dont know where your getting your facts, but Obama did not 'Transfer' to Harvard and Columbia. The man had no money, his family had no money, He put himself through Columbia and Harvard law on scholarships.

[blicksflicks]

He did not put himself through Columbia and Harvard on scholarships that you know of. You only know what he's told you. None of his records are even possible to check out. We don't even know if he has a real birth certificate. I think it's time to get worried.

[danxcountry17]

Oh God. Well according to factscheck. org he does. And, since the man grew up with out any money, I do not see how else he would go through college.

[Zubitec]

I get worried whem I have to listen John Mc Cain singing : "Bomb bomb bomb Iran" ........that should worry you .

[blicksflicks]

I'm not worried about McCain little joke. Give me a break. Also, I'm more concerned about Obama's Carter-like promises. There's no way Obama would keep his promises at cutting taxes under $250,000 a year. Carter even vowed to give tax refunds to people making under $30,000 a year back in 1976, but guess what? He broke his promise. We don't need another Carter candidate who isn't even going to use Carter's Fiscal restraint. So, get a life! Republicans aren't stupid!

[blicksflicks]

elchingon0522, hellooooooooooo!!! Reverend Jeremiah Wright!? Will Ayers!? Tony Rezko? With Will Ayers, Obama and the Ayers family systematically ruined the Chicago school system. I think you need to wake up, or people like you are going to send our country into Obama destruction mode. It's time for the Obama Death Star to be destroyed and the real jedi to step up. The fix is in. The wheel is turning. The decks are stacked. McCain/Palin '08! McCain debates Obama into loserville.

[givethemahand]

blicks-- John McCain is a Jedi?

I knew he was old..but I get it now.

"along time ago...in a galaxy far, far away."

Maybe too long ago...his Jedi powers seem a little weak. :)

[elchingon0522]

Those are alot of claims you're making with no evidence to back it up blicks. I'm not a FAUX News watching, non-fact checking, talking-point parroting sheep. I've read NON-PARTISAN EXPERT analysis on both tax plans, I KNOW Obama's cuts give more to the AVERAGE American and tax the UBER-Wealthy more heavily while the majority of McCain's tax cuts go to the wealthiest Americans. Maybe YOU should wake up and stop believeing everything you see on FAUX News.

This man doesn't have a clue about the economy. What we need is for the gov't to get their hands out and let the free market guide itself. Its like he doesn't study history. Gov't involvement is the problem. Lawd he us all. These 2 idiots running for presidents are dumber than bricks!

[CapeRhyme]

plz americans, vote for this man. Peace and love, from new zealand :)

[marilyncp]

Let me get this right. So according to cyberton this happened because of President Clinton, how long has it been seen he left office? But we have been under Bush for almost 8 years, when all this is going sour. Why the long delay. That makes nosense. Time for change and stop the blame game.

[GTIkitty]

the same reason, why there was such a long delay after Katrina.. same reason why their was such a long wait to react to the economic crisis... the republicans sit on their hands and wait til things are unfixable

its time to give them the BOOT!!

[cybertron78]

Its been 8 years (not that long realy) and economy doesnt change overnight. Maybe if you knew what you were talking about you would understand that which makes perfect sense.

[cybertron78]

You idiots, those rules and regulations started being abolished in 1999 by who? If I remember correctly, it was Pres. Bill Clinton in 1999. Isn't he a democrat?

[YIRMASTER]

I'm with ya brother, most of the Obama followers are drones and don't even know why they're pullin' for him. O...BA...MA...! CHANGE! Like that's original, dems used that one before and boy did we have change, just not for the better. Ask an Obama supporter what kind of change, "I don't know, Change!" Duh!

[comfortablesofa]

I am just blown away by the sensibility of the comments for this video. It's true that Obama's understanding of economics and society are far deeper than most of his speeches portend, but it's sad that if he unleashes that level of depth, he only gets criticized as an 'elitist'.

[wervasdeferens]

Everything he said is true! The problem is that the same people and business philosophy that have taken us down this road,control everything, especially the media. They will fight, tooth and nail, to keep the staus quo.

Unfortunately,most Americans don't take the time to really understand what's happening.

If they did, the GOP would cease to exist.

[Fringe111]

Here's the reason this is happening. After the 1929 stock market crash certain safeguards were enacted called the Security and Exchange Act so that this would never happen again. Sarting in 99 the Republicans slowly abolished those safeguards. This is why this is now happening.

Remember breadlines? It could happen again now

[Thirunav]

Another great speech demonstrating his indepth understanding of the underpinnings of the economics that shape the world's economy today...You will never hear the old geriatric Buffoon McCain and his floosy running mate Sarah demonstrate such thorough grasp of the issues at hand.

Hope you American's can wake up in time to realise that Barrack is the man you need at this hour to set America and the rest of the world back on course.... Go Obama Go... for the sake of our future you must WIN!

[JohnDeBunkTest]

The Obama speech on economic issues is spoken by a Harvard Law graduate magna cum laude.

This man knows what he is talking about and makes it obvious to those listening.

The McCain plan is what one might expect from a man who passed military college 6th from the bottom of his class.

[electrodyne1]

McCains TAX INCREASE on the working man (and woman):

The McCain health plan would treat employer-paid health benefits as income that employees would have to pay taxes on.

What is this man thinking?

[blicksflicks]

McCain will keep the Bush tax cuts. Obama will raise taxes on everyone. Don't kid yourself! McCain/Palin '08! Obama: 143 days in the Senate and 3 years as a Community Organizer, and wants to be Leader of the Free World!? You got to be insane! He's never even been a Governor of a state like Governor Palin! McCain has far more experience than Obama! Far more!

[electrodyne1]

blicks-

You say: Obama will" raise taxes on everyone. But, its not in his speeches or his written plan. His plan has TAX CUTS for the working and middle class. Please don't state opinion as if it is fact.

I notice when sighting his career, you complelty leave out 8 years in the state legislature and 3 years teaching constitutional law.

RE:"community organizer..I have heard these put-downs before. Do you know the real job description? Would you like to hear it?

I can help you with the facts.

[electrodyne1]

John McCain in his own words (from THIS CAMPAIGN!) --I have always been for de-regulation --"Economics is not something that I have understood" --"Americans are better off than they were 8 years ago" --"We're worse off than we were four years ago" --"THE FUNDAMENTALS OF OUR ECONOMY ARE STRONG, but we are in a Total Crisis" huh? --Ill form a commission to study the problem. Then to top it all off: Top McCain Economic Adviser Carly Fiorina- " John McCain COULDN'T RUN A COMPANY"

Continuation of the Bush policies (republican ideas) will result in Arabic investors to turn to China and Russia. If you think that is good for the US, vote for the 72 year old experienced candidate and his 44 years old incapable hockey-mum.

If you really care for your country and the world, vote for Obama/Biden. Let them clear try to the Bush-mess and a deficit of 500B. Not a job you or I want I think.
