President Obama - Part 1 - 2011-11-22 Speaking in New Hampshire on Jobs and the Economy

[peteagassi]

Time to jolt the economy and kick the Republicans' ass! Go Obama!!!

[Laughingblades]

The American Dream was a lie to make obedient workers work harder to make other people rich.

The people who work on the factory floor should own the factory and be paid directly out of the profits of the factory just like the factory owner. It's been proven by for profit cooperatives like Mondragon Cooperative Corporation and Union Cab that when the workers own the work place, they get better at their job, they work harder, and they're support their community.

I'm most afraid of who'll take office in 2016. But as far as 2012 until then, I intend on casting my vote and putting my faith in Obama to continue the extraordinary progress he and his administration has begun. I see greatness in him, and more importantly, in America.

[Langston900]

We need congress to get the message and stop failing us. Obama!

5:46

[deepen2011]

7:30.. he responds to them and supports them! that's my President!

[DirtbagEconomics]

Wow. he just told the Occupy movement, "I told the banks to go fuck themselves on college loans a year and a half ago." I think someone may have just gotten re-elected. Let's see where the "MIC CHECK"s lead first. XD

[deepen2011]

@DirtbagEconomics HELL YEAH! OBAMA 2012!

[Mathenaut]

This is good. Wow.

I don't know what the hell got into Obama. Where was this 2 years ago?

Well, whatever. Fucking keep at it, brother.

[ruffzspree]

Obama is on their side (the hecklers) they should know this and he is trying to change things but he can't with stupid republicans in congress.

[CrystalsandCandles]

@ruffzspree The Occupiers are not hecklers bro.  They are... reminders. I like Obama and will probably vote for him again. Definitely would not vote for anyone the GOP is offering. But even his ardent supporters have to admit he has not lived up to his promise and needs to be reminded a little.

[MiniRtist]

@CrystalsandCandles Well, I will add this: He's lived up to his promise as much as possible. There are walls, and barriers, and difficulties that he didn't foresee - and the GOP being more obstructionist than any party in history has NOT helped. They would let the country die if it meant getting back into power. If you have a tank race across a field of live babies, the "winner" might be the one who gets to the other side first... but it's not someone I'd want to vote for.

[CrystalsandCandles]

@MiniRtist I agree about the GOP my friend, If I may call you that, but.... There are a number of things that the majority of the country was in favor of that Obama could have achieved through executive order and did not attempt to do. Don't Ask Don't Tell for example and stopping the Canadian tar sands pipeline rather than delay it, for another. He is a very smart man. He had to have known that the 'Publicans were going to do what they did. I knew it and I'm just an average guy

[MiniRtist]

@CrystalsandCandles There is only so much you can do through Executive Order. Anything that is related to the budget has to come through the House. Aside from that, Executive Orders can (and often are) overturned by the next President of an opposing party. If DADT had been repealed by EO, those who had come out would be vulnerable later on. He did it the way it should have been done - so that it was permanent. And delaying the Tar Sands Pipeline - that may have killed it entirely. We'll see.

[MiniRtist]

@CrystalsandCandles He is human, after all... :) Only so much any one person can do. He works long hours. Most of us wouldn't be able to keep up. I've disappointed people in my life, I'm sure... and I'm betting you have, too. Nobody can please everyone.

[deepen2011]

@CrystalsandCandles yup.. exactly.

[RenshiErmine]

I think that a point may of just been made. Go occupy.



[hooplover4eva]
