Rightwingers think they can redefine what you see with your own eyes and you'll mindlessly agree.
We had 8 disasterous years of Bush - the epitome of an amoral, self-centered, narcissist who arrogantly called himself "The Decider" and boasted of having "been to war" despite being a draftdoger
Pres Obama is a lot of things, but claiming he's "testy, arrogant, and infantile" (the defintion of conservative douchebags like Bush, Cheney, Gingrich, etc.), self-evidently does not describe him.
@SDupe44 I think when it comes to matters of defense and the military industrial complex both parties are pretty much the same. On social issues this is where the fork in the road meets. Unfortunately for Republicans they had to deal with a black President for the first time and they didn't know quite how to handle it. Instead of playing their position like normal they freaked out and decided to bet all their marbles with the "southern strategy" It's backfired and now they're stuck!
@SDupe44 I don't think it's about hidden agendas. It'smore about winning and POWER with both parties. The GOP seized on an opportunity to stoke the fear and anxiety many whites felt when Obama was elected by painting him as some far left-wing black nationalist Islamic thug infiltrating the White House. They have managed to whip their base into such a frenzy they can't think straight. The Democrats paint the GOP as beholden to the 1% and in favor of a Plutocracy. Now let the games begin!
What can we do short of a revolution. Corrupt politicians no longer represent you, me & the ordinary citizen. 14 Amendment overlooked & the Constitution ignored. Rule of law no longer respected or recognized. Stage is set for a takeover, Enemy is in place. Symptoms of bigger problems. Welfare for millions of illerate uneducated Illegals. 2010 Mexico census concluded over 6 million over 15 yrs of age illiterate unable to read & write more than 100 yrs after the Mexican Revolution
Obama Blames Congress for Recession, Of course he is. That’s all he knows how to do….blame everyone else. You would think everyone would be tired of hearing it, b/c it’s complete bull? HEY, MANY FOOLS IN THIS COUNTRY! Obama plays the blame game, he's good at it. every thing wrong in this country, is from one ass,thats Obama.When running in the primaries he said, when he gets in the White House , no one will tell him what to do.. Wake up before Obama takes us straight to hell!
Politicians are notoriously economically illiterate. People who seek political power are, with exceptions too rare to matter, never to be trusted; at best, they are vain & officious busybodies. People who actually achieve political power are to be trusted even less than those who seek it Without Success; winning elections requires a measure of deceitfulness & Machiavellian immorality that no decent person comes close to possessing !
@onstageagain You wrote "winning elections requires a measure of deceitfulness" On the State and National level this is true! Why do you think that is? You think it's because these folks are bad news? Evil? In order to run for office you are scrutinized to no end. The reason your statement is true is because the system's rules are corrupt. As long as you have "private" money in politics influencing policy you will have this result. It's the price we pay for so-called free speech.
A famous French economist by the name of Fred Bastiat once suggested when social policies turn out to be harmful to the citizenry, it's b/c politicians often react to economic problems they can see, without any regard for the unforeseen consequences of their solutions to those problems.Politicians love visible beneficiaries, invisible victims. They are like bombers & seldom see their victims !
This clip is disingenuous. Obama is a Christian. I thought you right-wingers were already in a huff & buff over his membership to Trinity United CHURCH! How can he be a muslim if he's a member of a famous church?
@onstageagain you wrote "your comments are not unlike I expected... babble of yesterday... "
Pointing out how one's voting record can be manipulated to smear them is not babble nor is it tactics of yesteryear! Likewise bringing up the Koch Brothers activities or that they are more politically active in a toxic form on the right than George Soros could ever dream to be on the left, with a 50 year HISTORY is not babble! Hey, you wanted to go there. Don't blame me if you cant handle the truth!
@onstageagain You wrote "Look ... I don't care what went on in 1930, this is today And Soros is Today..."
The Koch Brothers are very much an active force within the Republican Party Today! Even more so than George Soros is in the Democratic Party. They give way more money to conservative causes! Case in point: The Tea Party Express! That organization played a critical role in the misinformation campaign waged against healthcare reform! I' don't have a problem with different views just LIES!
Sorous is dangerous for our country & Delusional : Soros has repeatedly said he sees himself as a messianic figure. Who but a megalomaniac would make such comments" I admit I've always harbored an exaggerated view of my -importance,to put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of God !
Soros one of the richest in the world from russia, said removing Bush from office in 04 was the central focus of hihs life., He gave $23.58 million to 527 groups dedicated to defeating Bush.Wants to curtail American sovereignty: He has said it, & Sores would like nothing better than for America to become subservient to international bodies. Socialism is his goal for this country & Obama is his puppet.
In March 05, two weeks after buying about $5,000 of its shares, Obama took the lead in a legislative push for more Fed funding to battle the disease.
He also bought more than $50,000 in stock in a satellite communication buss, principal backers include 4 friends & donors who had raised more than $150,000 for his political committees, of which Obama says he could not rem invested in either company. In June 04, George Soros, gave $23 million to Dem advocacy groups seeking to defeat Bush.
Obama told the people of Ill, I can unequivocally say I will not be running for national office in 4 yrs,my entire focus is making sure, I’m the best possible senator on behalf of people of Illinois.Less than 2 mo's after ascending to the U.S. Senate, Obama bought more than $50,000 worth of stock in two speculative companies whose major investors included some of his biggest presidential donors.
One of the com was a biotech concern that was starting to develop a drug to treat avian flu.
It’s an unusual thing we did 3yrs ago. We elected a man we did not know to be President, We wondered what would happen if we elected a man with no experience in any business, not in even running a hot dog stand. Now we know! Politics was never meant to be a profession & like diapers, should be changed often & for the same reasons !
@luvitluvitbaby history 101 would help a bunch of you uninformed morons. your statment show ignorance. Get a job. Your ignporance is oberwelming. Obama is an enigma he does not exist just a empty suit promising a shopping list of unattainable projects. Long before being a republican he was a democrate. He was the President of the Screen Actors Guild, a Big Responisbility & takes lotd of negotiation. Graduating in 1932 with a bachelor's degree in economics .
@luvitluvitbaby Its no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is a specialized discipline,one most people consider a science. But itsirresponsible to have a loud & vociferous opinion while reading a telepromptor on economic subjects & remaining in this state of total ignorance.. Obama pads his experience & cut down others. To run for Senate from IL he challenegd opponents on techicalities & had them thrown off the ballot. He's never changed, He's a vicious show boater
@luvitluvitbaby Regan ran the largest state in population as governer for 8 yrs. Never has a senator been elected president until now, & no, obama has yet to complete a full term as senator & has never run a business or any major leadership position. he should have been v.p. before ever being elected as a President . Harvard law does not mean you can be president. He has never stood in fron of a judge defending anyone as a lawyer. I have a law degree. everyone in Wa is a lawyer
@luvitluvitbaby Gov of the largest states in the union for 8 yrs. 1937 Regan was a sportscaster “Dutch Reagan,s broadcasts of Chicago Cubs baseball games.to Wrigley Field, Chicago. 1941, the U.S. entered into World War II, he was drafted, army3 yrs. His Unit made training & news films, 27 yrs, he appeared in 50 films. In 1954, hired by General Electric, to make appearances at GE plants, he spent 8yrs doing the job, making speeches & learning about people around the country.
@onstageagain I like how you speak so glowingly of the "Gipper", but belittle anything that pertains to Obama. Yes, Reagan has an impressive background and story, but so does Obama. Barack Obama was President of the Harvard Law Review, the most prestigious legal publication in the country! Following graduation he could have clerked for the supreme court or had his pick of prestigious law firms, but elected to work in his community as an organizer. He taught law at the Univ of Chicago,..continued
@onstageagain You wrote "Belittle Obama , is a nice way of putting how I feel about this phoney."
and I suppose the Republican alternatives like Newt Gingrich aka Mr. Infidelity/Impeacher or Mitt Romney aka "The Flip Flop Kid" are the quintessential manifestation of all that is honest and good lol! I won't even get into the others LOL!!!!
@luvitluvitbaby 2004, Obama delivers his now-famous DNC speech about his intent to serve out a 6 year senate term, Obama says, in this video, (since removed), that he will not run for the presidency in..The video disappeared. Using WayBackMachine, a lot of stuff scrubbed from the web.what he said in the video: I think I've been clear. Ah-ah-mumble-mumble, there's a pres election in 4yrs & I'm not running!
I’ve never worked in Wa he said. "I can unequivocally say I will not be running !
@onstageagain You wrote " 2004, Obama delivers his now-famous DNC speech about his intent to serve out a 6 year senate term,"
He's a politician, at the time in 2004 he didn't think there would be such a push for him to run. Nobody in their right mind would ever have imagined that he could take on the CLINTON MACHINE and win! I recall John McCain promising to run a clean and honest campaign, but with him DOWN in the polls he ran the most dishonest and dirtiest campaign I've EVER SEEN!
@luvitluvitbaby Gov.consists of a gang of men exactly like you & me. They've, taking one with another, no special talent for business of gov, only a talent for getting/holding office.Principal device is to search out groups who pant & pine for something they can't get & promise to give it, 9 times of 10 that promise is worth nothing. 10th time, made good by looting A to satisfy B. Other words, gov is a broker in pillage & every election is sort of a advance auction sale of stolen goods.
@onstageagain Our Country has slowly been becoming a Plutocracy over the past 30 years. There was a time when it did not cost millions of dollars to run a respectable campaign for national office. Those days are gone, and the only way to compete is to be sold to the highest bidding CORPORATION! NUFF SAID!
@luvitluvitbaby I somewhat agree,but it has nothing to do with this disfunctional leader. Obama stepped in front of the already formed parade 2 yrs before he got to WA. He’s fully in step with that parade. It helps him to crash America into the ditch, his ultimate goal.Socialism. Obamas always beating up on the country’s least popular institution, Congress!
Dem's, who still run the Senate side of the Capitol, are tired of getting picked on by a president from their own party.
@onstageagain You wrote "Obamas always beating up on the country’s least popular institution, Congress!"
Obama hasn't given Congress any criticism it doesn't deserve. People aren't blind and there is a reason why they have a 9% approval rating. This truly is the most childish bunch that have ever graced the halls of the Capital. For example, they abuse the filibuster in attempt to usurp Executive powers granted under the Constitution and coerce changes in laws they couldn't get legitimately!
@luvitluvitbaby You make me almost cry, to think we have people in this country that are so naive they believe Obama's Blame game. Congress is mostly Democrats that think Obama is too radical as his goal is to be a dictator !!! Obama is using the media to blame everyone else, he is the one pointing fingers, you don't see Congress or the Senate on Television every other night making a special Speech bashing everyone else do you. Wake-up do some research and don't believe the mainstream media
@guitarhaus You're funny lol! First off, most Democrats would characterize Obama's governance as Republican-lite. while most conservatives think he's the next coming of Chairman Mao.
I happen to think he governs like a traditional republican. Look at his foreign policy it screams Richard Nixon George H.W. Bush all day long.
On the domestic front, sure he passed a $778 billion stimulus during the worst financial crisis in 70 years, but Bush passed a $674 billion stimulus in 2003 with no crisis.
@luvitluvitbaby you're pathetic, nobody gives a shit what Bush did, those days are gone and everyone is worried about saving this country and you giggle and make dumb ass jokes about a serious situtation. REAL Unemployment is well over 20% NOW !! there are people who exhausted all benifits that aren't even considered. You are just one of those idiots that believe everything you read, actually the reason why our country is on the verge of collapse and socialism is because of people like YOU
@guitarhaus and your solution for the unemployed is to do nothing and let them SUFFER! When Republicans made a jobs bill proposal, independent economists (Moody's) estimated it would KILL 300k jobs! As for Obama's proposal they estimated it would create 1.9 million jobs! Yet Republicans blocked it! These are the same measures they supported in 2003, but because Obama is in office now they oppose it!
Just because Bush is out of office doesn't mean we no longer have to pay for his fuck ups!
@luvitluvitbaby This man is a disfunctional leader, Obama moved into the White House in 09, unemployment immediately jumped to 10.1% for the next yr. Despite this Obama focused on health care, not jobs! He gave 54 speeches on health care his first 14 mo's in office.! In 2010 He sent lette to supporters blaming Congress not focusing on jobs.
. Always, Just another lie. Have we ever had another president so unwilling to take responsibility?
@onstageagain The Stimulus prevented us from reaching 15% Unemployment. You conveniently leave out that point in addition to the fact that you never mention we were in the middle of the GREATEST RECESSION since the GREAT DEPRESSION that started long before Obama took office. Under Bush's watch we witnessed the Unemployment rate jump from 4.9% to 7.6%! That's almost a 3% jump in 1 year! Ever since 2010 that rate has been coming down.Sorry that America's good fortune is your party's bad luck! :-)
@onstageagain I'm sorry if you're upset that Obama can walk and chew gum at the same time. You mention his focus on Healthcare his first year. You leave out the fact that he pushed the passage of the stimulus, the auto bailout and the largest financial reform of our system in over 70 years! Minus those things we would be mired in 20%+ unemployment right now.
He campaigned on reforming healthcare, what did you expect. Anyway Obamacare is the old Republican/Heritage Foundation plan anyway!
@onstageagain....continued .....if you consider 10 months an immediate jump than maybe you have a point. Unemployment peaked at 10.2% in October 2009.
What did you expect him to do? Did you really think that as soon as Obama was sworn in he would snap his fingers and twinkle his nose and suddenly 750k jobs lost in January 2009 would become 750k jobs created or -8% GDP growth for the quarter would miraculously turn into 6.2% growth? ROFLMAO!
@luvitluvitbaby Smart President ≠ Smart Country the dumbness dragging down our country,
Polls show majority of Americans can't name a single branch of gov, including you,or explain the Bill of Rights ! or name the country America fought in the Revolutionary War.! Among Dem governors, only 30% got their wife's name right on the first try! Some of this stuff you should pick up simply by being alive. You know, like the way the Slumdog kid knew about cricket ! Then, we allow you to vote?
@luvitluvitbaby The only way Dem's get elected is b/c they manipulate less educated,scaring them with lies. Words do not match their actions! Yet, a large segment of our country unable to read & think for themselves want something for nothing, Welfare,food stamps.Politicians are profiting off your ignorance. You've been USED! I enjoy watching Liberal gloat. You believe the election was about Obama not about the disgust with Bush, will you be gloating when Obama turns into a 1 term Prez?
@luvitluvitbaby I wonder how all the people got so stupid? Maybe it's all that GOVERNMENT EDUCATION we've been getting for the last 80 yrs or so? The longer the gov has been involved in our education the dumber we get ! 'Stupid' is not the correct word 'Ineducable' is a tad closer to the truth. Hussein is Dead, and so is Bush, but the Libs haveen't stopped with the Bush fiasco.
Just b/c Americans elected a bright con artist, Obama doesn't mean they’re bright
@onstageagain ...continued from previous comment... he became a state senator then a U.S. Senator. Everyone thought this man would excel at making speeches, but struggle on the international stage, but if you look at who his influences were in the Senate, Richard Lugar, Tom Colburn, both Republican by the way, one can understand why he operates much like an old school Republican on foreign policy. A lot of the things he did in the Senate pertained to foreign relations and national security.
@luvitluvitbaby Its easy to make claimes, I don't know wheree your getting your info. In July,07, after slightly more than 5 mo passed since he declared his pres candidacy .Obama clearly became more focused on campaigning for his White House run, than performing legislative duties for which he'd been elected in Ill. From that date through May08, Obama voted on 34% of all bills that came before Senate &66 % no vote of any kind, either for or against legislation in question.
@onstageagain You wrote "Its easy to make claimes, I don't know wheree your getting your info. In July,07,"
I wouldn't call public record claims exactly, but that's just me. You talk about his voting record. Maybe he was gearing up for a run. So what? Any politician with any strategic skill would have done the same thing. Why would he take positions on controversial topics that could come back to bite him a year later? I don't think any politician with a I.Q. above 70 would do that lol!
@onstageagain ....continued... you do understand "earmarks", "pork" and "amendments" right? If I author a Military Authorization bill in 2007 that helps fund equipment and resources for our troops and Rep. Jackass comes along and puts in an amendment that cuts 12 billion from education, you can see exactly where this is going. If you, Mr. Candidate vote against this bill, your opponent can accuse you of hating our troops! If you vote for the bill then you're a menace to our children! Get it?
Educate your self, mean time , its Better to keep your mouth closed & be thought a fool than to open it & remove all doubt!
Experience as a governor is better preparation for the presidency - since both are executive positions - than Obamas experience which was a part-time Senator in Illinois that meet 54 days a yr. Again he did not fenish that seat.
Governor of CA is considered a particularly good launch pad for a presidential bid.
@onstageagain You wrote "Experience as a governor is better preparation for the presidency - since both are executive positions"
Tell that to JFK or Lincoln! It's not about experience. You could have years of experience at making horrible decisions. I think judgement is more valuable. Obama has demonstrated profound knowledge and grasp on the issues and sound judgement. He is one of the best foreign policy Presidents ever and the economy is turning around! I believe he will be re-elected!
@luvitluvitbaby Reagan successfully lead CA, a small country, largest state in the country. Obama in the Senate 2 yrs does not compare.. Regan had yrs experience before Gov. Look @ Obama's voting record with missed votes & chose to vote present on others,never making a choice on issues! Lack of judgment in choice of friends & associates. Not to compare Schwarzenegger to Reagan. Notice I said SUCCESSFULLY lead CA. Arnold ran Ca into the ground as Obama is running the US into the ground!
@onstageagain I was responding to your quip about private sector experience. I never challenged Reagan's public sector experience. It's funny, if you take off the ideological blinders for a minute, Reagan and Obama have similarities! Obama has been stronger on national security than any other President in recent times. Both Reagan and Obama took over bad economies and experienced 10+% Unemployment! Don't look now, but the Unemployment rate is coming down much the same way it did in 1984!
@onstageagain You have a very simplistic view of how monetary debt works. Actual dollar amounts are not that important. What's important is percentage of GDP. It's funny to me, none of you fiscal hawks had any problem with Reagan tripling the national debt (189%) which is the record by FAR!!! Obama has not tripled the debt, he hasn't even doubled it as George W. Bush did. Most of the increase was due to a drastic drop in tax revenue not Obama spending! almost 50% of our debt is Bush programs!
The US was supposed to have limited gov b/c our founders knew power attracts swarms of crooks, demagogues & despots as surely as horse manure attracts swarms of horseflies ! Qualities needed for office are almost the opposite of those demanded by the office itself. Trouble with the current system is it selects for the skills needed to get elected, & nothing else. A test you only pass by cheating can't possibly select honest people
Bad,stupid, gutless policies have real consequences
When looking for a reason why things go wrong, Why assume stupidity when dishonesty will suffice Pledge allegiance to your principles,family,faith, don't pledge allegiance to a gang of thieves! Nothing more dangerous to the cause of liberty than a politician fixated on re-election. First on a politicians to-do list is get reelected. Nothing else comes close. The economy, stock market, war on terroris, NOTHING comes ahead of getting reelected. Staying in power is job number one
We should stop applauding politicians of any hue: they got us in this mess. The best deserve a probationary opportunity to prove themselves, the worst should be jailed.
You can bet whatever politicians do will end up harming consumers. Economic ignorance is to politicians what idle hands are to the devil. Both provide for the creation of evil
It is hard to imagine a more stupid dangerous way of making decisions than putting decisions in the hands of people who pay nothing for being wrong
If we do not hold Obama responsible for the recession then we cannot hold Bush responsible for the invasion of Iraq. Bush did not cause 911 so he is not really responsible for the cleanup or rebuilding of new york. Hurricane Katrina was not Bush fault, the cost of the rebuilding after that. It was not Obama’s fault for the rescission, or the mess with health care.
If we don’t consider them responsible than Who Is? The Buck Stops With The President.
Obama's past canpaighn & more recent ridicule of Bush's spending raises an eyebrow ! This lie-tard , truth is the tax-&-spend democrats win hands down. Im no Bush fan, & Obama was handed a US economy in trouble, but the truth is , It isn't the crisis but the response to the crisis that is creating the scale of the deficit. It isn't like Obama held spending flat while income dropped. Income dropped & thos bozo, Obama massively increased spending. Thus, the result of this debt.
Obama to Dems: “Buck up”; Dems to Obama: “Buck off... Buck up b/c I Obama's only begun to f^*k up. How about you just buck off Dali Bama
The problems Democratic politicians face in mid-terms & coming 12 elections is not that voters have not bucked up – it’s that their leaders have fucked up !
Home is exactly where voters are heading, though only a man in the terminal throes of self-delusion & utter narcissism could accuse we Americans of being unserious. The first 19 mo's of Obama’s ride, the Fed. debt rose by $2.5260 trillion, thats more cumulative total of the debt amassed by all presidents from Washington through Reagan. Unemployment has risen to 9.6 % despite his PROMISES that passage of his STIMULUS would keep the rates at under 8%. The bastard is a clown..
Talk about audacity. After ignoring the will of American people for 2 full yrs, Obama had the chutzpah to chide Dem voters for being less than thrilled with the job he & fellow Dem's in Congress have done as elections approach. A interview in Rolling Stone Mag Obqama says , people need to shake off this lethargy, & need to buck up,"if people now want to take their ball & go home, it tells me folks weren't serious in the 1st. place. This bastard Obama is a clown.
Unemployment has dipped to 9.1%, that’s hardly a stat Obama wants to boast about on his campaign trail. Recent Jobs report shows 80,000 new jobs for the mo of Oct, but thats short of the quarter million-plus jobs the economy will need to add each month to reach pre-recession unemployment levels !
After destroying the American economy, tripling the national deficit, blowing another trillion failed stimulus dollars and nearly doubling unemployment ... Best President Ever? Simply UNBELIEVABLE!! Obama must be campaigning for 2012 under the assumption ("Hope") that Americans are suffering from complete & chronic amnesia. It would take a real screw up to be worse than this guy. He is definitely the first presient who got a Nobel peace prize for nothing!
@barryobrieneire Obams rated 25 on GQ's “25 Least Influential People Alive ! If the fact of being included in a list of do-nothings & failures is not already a bitter enough pill for a man of Obama’s towering ego, the irony that he was GQ’s “Man of the Yr in 08 & Leader of the Yr in 09 is surely not lost on him.By January of 2013, he will have added as much debt as all 43 prior presidents combined. Finally on his watch, the poverty level in the U.S. has reached an all-time high!
Would you spend $3 to have dinner with Obama? (Do I hear $2.50)
It used to cost $5 to have dinner with President Obama. But these are tough times, & Obama has turned out to be a disappointment to even some of his staunchest one-time supporters. Both of which explain why the going rate in a raffle to win a dinner with the president is down to $3
@luvitluvitbaby How the mighty have fallen! Barack Obama—the man who vowed to slow the rise of the oceans, whose likeness was destined to appear on U.S. currency or Mt. Rushmore, who claimed to be able to bend steel with his bare hands—makes GQ‘s list of flunkies for 2011
@luvitluvitbaby Greatest flunkie President ever... Obams rated 25 on the GQ's “25 Least Influential People Alive.” He's down sharing the dregs with MSNBC host Ed Schultz, Newsweek editor Tina Brown, deposed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, disgraced C&W singer Hank Williams, Jr., & take notice! House Majority Leader John Boehner ! Hes pathetic in my opioion.
@luvitluvitbaby By the time of the 2012 election, he will have added as much debt as all 43 prior presidents combined. US current poverty level has reached an all-time high!
The nation’s AAA credit rating was downgraded by Standard & Poor’s for the first time ever. I would contend that none of these achievements would be possible under a leader who lacked influence. Obama has proved to be powerfully influential in much the way plague & natural disasters have impacted the lives of many !
@onstageagain Not really, if you look at the programs Obama has put into place, the cost is about 10% of the debt. Almost 50% of our debt is Bush era programs that have exploded in cost in their out years! Just because he left office doesn't mean his programs left with him.
The nation's AAA rating was downgraded because of Tea Party Republicans who brought this country to the brink of default by brinkmanship. S&P said as much in their explanation! Most of America agrees with me! Check the polls
@luvitluvitbaby Excuse me? What planet are you on? what program are you speaking about ... but you said program-S... so tell me the program-s & 50 % of the debt is b/c of Bush?
Please , if your going to make a statment such as this back it up with facts.
A lot of beautiful people are stupid. There’s a tremendous amount of idiots who look so good. It’s frightening. I challenge you do send me a link to substantiate this claim... Im waiting ...
Bush was inaugurated in 01, National Debt stood at $5.7-trillion. He ran up debt to $4.9-trillion. National Debt stood at $10.6-trillon on the day Obama took office. he's ran as much debt in 4 yrs as Bush in 8 yrs.
If you need a link to follow debt report on Carter? Reagan? HW Bush?
Clinton? GW. Bush? Obama to date? I can do that, however, I'll wait for your link to show your NOT REALLY Claim to show Bush 50% national debt era programs.
Becoming infantile? Mate, in Britain, we think the fact that a considerable amount of Americans can't understand that Obama is neither Muslim or non-American (only the latter would be a problem, as it would render his presidency illegitimate) is fucking infantile.
"The facts are the facts" - yes they are, and it's a fact that the digital file of your (alleged) birth certificate had over ten layers in it. I don't know what's worse, being told a lie or the breathtaking incompetence of your digital forgers. Hire someone smart enough to FLATTEN THE DOCUMENT next time.
Obama did not win the Illinois senate by overcoming his "funny name". He did it by using Chicago style politics to have his opponents removed from the ballot. He's a freaking liar.
Obama is a distraction. Focus on the two party system. It creates the Left vs Right paradigm that has enabled bureaucrats and bankers to erode our liberties. This occurs because Left = Welfare and Right = Warfare in this country. In the end it doesn't matter who wins because the result is always bigger and BIGGER government. So while everyone takes sides and fights with each other over secondary issues we fail to notice that our rights have been stolen under the color of law.
You Right wing extremists are so pathetic in your bizarre attempts to criticize the President-it would be laughable if there weren't so many of you nut-jobs
What he should say is that Hi bona fides have been fully vetted and if you want to ask that question you are wasting my time, Maybe you should just call ahead and confirm your passe for tomorrow before you drive down here. if this is what you want to know then go ahead and do your own research it is a matter of public record but you dipshits down there at fox don't seem to know how to do the actual work of collecting news. But president Obama has class.
Everything that people hate about Obama is virtually blown out of perception. He says hes a Christian but people WANT to believe he's Muslim. He provided his American birth certificate but people WANT to believe he's Kenyan.
In a prior speech he refers to his Muslim faith and claim America is not a Christian nation.. here's the deal breaker.. he bows down to fuckin suadi Arabian kings and communist dictators
I'm sure you've realized by now that those clips were taken out of context in reference to those who believe he is Muslim, and to his _father's_ home country. And "testy, arrogant, and infantile"? Maybe you were watching a different clip. President Obama has handled these ignorant accusations with nothing but class.
Suspend and impeach O B O M B M A, arrest the top tier in the Federal Reserve, arrest Bush and his cronies, and vote Ron Paul it might not be too late.
Ahh shut up .. please just shup up and GTFO of the White house don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
Gotta love mainstream reporters and their condescending and patronizing manner whenever the President has to educate them on their lack of facts or misinterpretation of his family history and etc. Brian Williams is such a pompous bastard and it's a travesty that the President of the United States has to tolerate such bullshit from infantile, ignorant, racist fuckards who can't fathom the reality of a half black man being in the White House. For crying out loud, get over it already.
That quote that was edited of the first lady was in reference to the Presidents father and his home country -- Kenya. You guys are hate filled racist, venom spewers. I hope that you get the same back at you.
@pfpfgiv they won't, unless dem.s start getting angry. But please educate me to your opinion. THRU PRIVATE MESSAGING, not responding with a comment on this video or my page!!!!!!
Im going to laugh when you die and God looks at all the hate you've spread and how you [Christians] read the bible but dont follow. What's it say? if struck, turn the other cheek to strike the other. What else? take care of the sick and poor, What else? follow the commandments, you shall not bear false witness, im just saying God is watching, is Hell worth American Politics?
Just so you know theres only one God, hes the God of the Muslims, the Christians, the jews, catholics and basically everyone except atheist and buddist.
Didn't seem to angry of "testy" to me. Why don't you go up to a GOP candidate and call them a muslim. You will really see some arrogance and anger then! lol
Mis-Information ...!!???? How so? You have said it out of your own mouth... (no matter how frazzled I may be, THAT is NOT a mistake I would Ever make), Your Wife has let it slip.... ALL of your family claims you were born in Kenya...your Birth Certificate has been proven to be fake.... Just what part of all of this (and MUCH more) are we getting wrong?
This video is CRAP, easy to manipulate soundbites and video clips, I can make Bachmann, Palin, Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh look likes total idiots and TRAITORS and it would be easier than making the vid shown here. NEXT!
Us is in fundamentally marching toward wrong direction. Government does not exist for the interest of common us citizens but for illegal aliens ( Democrats) and the riches ( Republicans). I feel so sorry watching high school kids graduating and trying to enter the colleges. Because US won't be even 2nd class country after 10 yrs.
im not a birther but its weid that obama would just mistakenly say ''my muslim faith'' maybe it was a slip of the tongue. probaly was. but its weird that his wife will say ''his home country in kenya'' out of everything she could have mistakenly said she said the one country where birthers really think he was born, perhaps that its such a prevelent theory that its on her mind when that subject comes up. who knows
Infantile? It looks to me that it is hurtful to him to have to repeatedly explain his birthright and love of country. His mother was an American, which would make him a citizen anyway, regardless of where he was born. He was born in Hawaii, which is in the United States. A lot of ignorant people don't even realize that Hawaii is in the US. This issue is a total distraction from the real issues facing our country.
@MattyJames25 - Maybe to SOME extent, but I still see shallow from UR latest post. Please compare how much he's sinking us w/majority of Dems in Congress in debt, pork, etc., etc. The Pork-u-lust package could been much better without all of the pork, his state of the union is a joke on spending vs what he's 'cutting:
@harry4health You see, that is the price of prosperity. There were two choices: stimulate the economy, or not. Had we not, what we see today would be considered economic paradise - even conservatives admit that.
Second of all, you must ask yourself, had Obama not inherited the Financial Crisis (which saw conservatives take the US from Clinton's surplus into its largest ever deficit), would Obama have spent the levels he has? Of course not. So it is like putting out a fire- not a goal of his
@MattyJames25-Passing the pork-u-lust bill he did was not the right price. He could have done much better. Campaign BO aid he would cut the pork/earmarks & didn't. No excuse
Doing something should not be conflated as synonymous with accepting what he let pass.
It's more than 2 years- people need to stop using 'he inherited it'. HE asked for it, he got it. He is responsible for it & must be held accountable. His goal IS big spending.
Bing search for "A Historic Flood of Red Ink". Read & see chart
@harry4health "It's more than 2 years- people need to stop using 'he inherited it'."
No, he will always be judged in the context of the moment; by what he inherited. Republican conservatives can't just wipe their hands of it. The effectiveness Obama's stimulus packages has been a resolute success- even economists who dislike him admit this e.g. Nial Ferguson "he saved us from a depression".
Again, the spending was an EMERGENCY MEASURE: not an agenda. In 2009, any POTUS would have as well.
@MattyJames25 - It is still BO's economy. He said if his package wasn't passed, unemployment would go up to 8%. Well, & it shot up to 10% & hasn't been below 9 for a while now. U ignored the point he allowed lolts of pork/earmarks, but he said he would zap that stuff but showed his true colors.
U didn't see a NY Times ad from about 200 academic economists, incl. three Nobel prize-winners against it?:
No, it don't work like that. You couldn't be anymore brainwashed from misinformation. So he was wrong about unemployment predictions- this was the most dramatic financial crisis since the Great Depression, experts from all quarters were off the mark...
What the man did do was save capitalism; no rational person can deny this:
@MattyJames25 - Void of substance, as usual. U IGNORED the PORK he could have VETOED & made the bill MUCH better. U IGNORE that & divert to something I never said I totally rejected, so UR link is useless.
Of course, U wanted to turn around & foolishly call me brainwashed. Funny, I don't think U even know what brainwashing/thought reform/mind control is. I didn't say the entire stimulus was bad. I SPECIFICALLY said it had crap IN it & COULD have been taken out by BO
@harry4health "I didn't say the entire stimulus was bad. I SPECIFICALLY said it had crap IN it & COULD have been taken out by BO"
Well a cursory scan of our conversational history here will reveal that I am interesting only in preserving and defending one point: that Obama's actions have saved our economy from utter collapse.
To argue that unemployment is now high, or that the stimulus bills had some corporate handouts are secondary points which we would probably have a lot to agree about.
@MattyJames25 - I am not convinced, and neither are all of the economists. To defend Obama as president because of it is quite limited, and not nearly enough to warrant a second term. We didn't need him for a stimulus package, and he lied or went back on hid word on cutting pork/earmarks.
The pork was a LOT, not just some. I didn't say "corporate handouts", but the entirety of the very avoidable waste of our tax money "PORK". All of it, not just a certain section of it.
@harry4health "I am not convinced, and neither are all of the economists."
Simply incorrect, and of course you have nothing to back it up with. Please research Niall Ferguson, one of Obama's most fervent critics. He did the whole Ascent of Money book which became a series. He takes Obama to task on just about everything, but he admits that Obama pulled us off the path to a depression. And he is the most reputable conservative economist.
But Paul Krugman's opinion is the most definitive.
@MattyJames25-#4: "Martin Feldstein, whose support last October [2008] for a fiscal stimulus is the reed upon which journalists justify their claims about "economists across the political spectrum," now calls this stimulus bill "an $800 billion mistake.""
@MattyJames25-#4: "Martin Feldstein, whose support last October [2008] for a fiscal stimulus is the reed upon which journalists justify their claims about "economists across the political spectrum," now calls this stimulus bill "an $800 billion mistake.""
@MattyJames25-#3: "As I have documented...skeptics about a spending stimulus include quite a few well-known economists, such as..[:] Alberto Alesina, Robert Barro, Gary Becker, John Cochrane, Eugene Fama, Robert Lucas, Greg Mankiw, Kevin Murphy, Thomas Sargent, Harald Uhlig, and Luigi Zingales...There's also former Treasury economist Bruce Bartlett, former Yale professor Philip Levy, former Ohio State and Federal Reserve economist Alan Viard, Russell Roberts of George Mason, and many more."
@MattyJames25-#2: "some 200 economists, including some Nobel laureates and other highly respected scholars ...Of course, many economists don't like to sign joint statements, so this is only a fraction of stimulus opponents in the profession. ...If any university managed to hire all of them, it would immediately have a top ranked economics department."
@MattyJames25- #1: So, I said NOT ALL & U logically just said I'm wrong on THAT & used ONE economist to disprove that it isn't ALL? Do U know what the old phrase "Who's calling the kettle black" means? U don't prove ALL by 1 (or most). MOST illogical & woefully weak-at best
U must have missed the NY Times ad from 200 economists opposing it
As U so so consistently stated:
"Please at least attempt to produce some kind of evidence when making such ludicrous statements."
@MattyJames25-Before U "make such ludicrous statements", U should get what I said right, etc:
1)Stimulus billS"? Plural?
2)U take a non-specific clip of mine "Big spending is BOs goal" & LIMIT to ONE issue? Please try to practice what U preach & keep to what I've said & NOT what U imagined INTO my post
3)U should take a closer look at ALL his spending & it's details.
4)Bank bailouts? U can get the bad news in the details by libs & conservs- like "Bought and Paid For"
So according to your poor logic here, the global financial crisis which Obama stepped into upon assuming the Presidency had absolutely no influence on his decisions to push stimulus bills through to rouse the economy?
That credit crunch or no credit crunch Obama wanted to merely lend huge sums of money to failing banks as a payoff for... what exactly?
Please at least attempt to produce some kind of evidence when making such ludicrous statements.
Wow I'm shocked that the liberal NBC would ask Obama such a question.

Pres Obama is a lot of things, but claiming he's "testy, arrogant, and infantile" (the defintion of conservative douchebags like Bush, Cheney, Gingrich, etc.), self-evidently does not describe him.

@SDupe44 I think when it comes to matters of defense and the military industrial complex both parties are pretty much the same. On social issues this is where the fork in the road meets. Unfortunately for Republicans they had to deal with a black President for the first time and they didn't know quite how to handle it. Instead of playing their position like normal they freaked out and decided to bet all their marbles with the "southern strategy" It's backfired and now they're stuck!

They have managed to whip their base into such a frenzy they can't think straight. The Democrats paint the GOP as beholden to the 1% and in favor of a Plutocracy. Now let the games begin!

Educate your self, mean time , its Better to keep your mouth closed & be thought a fool than to open it & remove all doubt!
Experience as a governor is better preparation for the presidency - since both are executive positions - than Obamas experience which was a part-time Senator in Illinois that meet 54 days a yr. Again he did not fenish that seat.
Governor of CA is considered a particularly good launch pad for a presidential bid.

Tell that to JFK or Lincoln! It's not about experience. You could have years of experience at making horrible decisions. I think judgement is more valuable. Obama has demonstrated profound knowledge and grasp on the issues and sound judgement. He is one of the best foreign policy Presidents ever and the economy is turning around! I believe he will be re-elected!

Look @ Obama's voting record with missed votes & chose to vote present on others,never making a choice on issues! Lack of judgment in choice of friends & associates. Not to compare Schwarzenegger to Reagan. Notice I said SUCCESSFULLY lead CA. Arnold ran Ca into the ground as Obama is running the US into the ground!

@onstageagain I was responding to your quip about private sector experience. I never challenged Reagan's public sector experience. It's funny, if you take off the ideological blinders for a minute, Reagan and Obama have similarities! Obama has been stronger on national security than any other President in recent times. Both Reagan and Obama took over bad economies and experienced 10+% Unemployment! Don't look now, but the Unemployment rate is coming down much the same way it did in 1984!

@onstageagain You have a very simplistic view of how monetary debt works. Actual dollar amounts are not that important. What's important is percentage of GDP. It's funny to me, none of you fiscal hawks had any problem with Reagan tripling the national debt (189%) which is the record by FAR!!! Obama has not tripled the debt, he hasn't even doubled it as George W. Bush did. Most of the increase was due to a drastic drop in tax revenue not Obama spending! almost 50% of our debt is Bush programs!

If we do not hold Obama responsible for the recession then we cannot hold Bush responsible for the invasion of Iraq. Bush did not cause 911 so he is not really responsible for the cleanup or rebuilding of new york. Hurricane Katrina was not Bush fault, the cost of the rebuilding after that. It was not Obama’s fault for the rescission, or the mess with health care.

@harry4health You see, that is the price of prosperity. There were two choices: stimulate the economy, or not. Had we not, what we see today would be considered economic paradise - even conservatives admit that.
Second of all, you must ask yourself, had Obama not inherited the Financial Crisis (which saw conservatives take the US from Clinton's surplus into its largest ever deficit), would Obama have spent the levels he has? Of course not. So it is like putting out a fire- not a goal of his

Doing something should not be conflated as synonymous with accepting what he let pass.
It's more than 2 years- people need to stop using 'he inherited it'. HE asked for it, he got it. He is responsible for it & must be held accountable. His goal IS big spending.

No, he will always be judged in the context of the moment; by what he inherited. Republican conservatives can't just wipe their hands of it. The effectiveness Obama's stimulus packages has been a resolute success- even economists who dislike him admit this e.g. Nial Ferguson "he saved us from a depression".
Again, the spending was an EMERGENCY MEASURE: not an agenda. In 2009, any POTUS would have as well.

Well a cursory scan of our conversational history here will reveal that I am interesting only in preserving and defending one point: that Obama's actions have saved our economy from utter collapse.
To argue that unemployment is now high, or that the stimulus bills had some corporate handouts are secondary points which we would probably have a lot to agree about.

@MattyJames25 - I am not convinced, and neither are all of the economists. To defend Obama as president because of it is quite limited, and not nearly enough to warrant a second term. We didn't need him for a stimulus package, and he lied or went back on hid word on cutting pork/earmarks.
The pork was a LOT, not just some. I didn't say "corporate handouts", but the entirety of the very avoidable waste of our tax money "PORK". All of it, not just a certain section of it.
Big spending IS BOs goal

Simply incorrect, and of course you have nothing to back it up with. Please research Niall Ferguson, one of Obama's most fervent critics. He did the whole Ascent of Money book which became a series. He takes Obama to task on just about everything, but he admits that Obama pulled us off the path to a depression. And he is the most reputable conservative economist.
But Paul Krugman's opinion is the most definitive.

2)U take a non-specific clip of mine "Big spending is BOs goal" & LIMIT to ONE issue? Please try to practice what U preach & keep to what I've said & NOT what U imagined INTO my post
3)U should take a closer look at ALL his spending & it's details.
4)Bank bailouts? U can get the bad news in the details by libs & conservs- like "Bought and Paid For"
You have "poor logic here"

@harry4health "Big spending IS BOs goal"
So according to your poor logic here, the global financial crisis which Obama stepped into upon assuming the Presidency had absolutely no influence on his decisions to push stimulus bills through to rouse the economy?
That credit crunch or no credit crunch Obama wanted to merely lend huge sums of money to failing banks as a payoff for... what exactly?
Please at least attempt to produce some kind of evidence when making such ludicrous statements.
