Obama admits he 'screwed up' as Daschle withdraws

[CookiesAndGuns95]

@yipyipyipzipzipzip Uhhhh yes we did, we had Obama and McCain, both are complete idiots, but I'd prefer McCain mainly because he was born in the USA, he was a Vietnam POW and veteran, and has experience in government. Experience is better than looks, but for the previous election however, looks won because he was black, that's it, he wasn't born here, he faked his birth certificate, he has absolutely no experience in office. As for the birth certificate, his doctor even admitted he can't find it

[ThePoisonYouth]

I wonder when will he admits the bailouts were a "screw up".

[wh4tever84]

whatta hell america, how could you put this man to lead your country? He is not even BORN in USA, well thats the main problem right! HE IS NO PRESIDENT, you have a fake man in the white house!

[brihna]

Isn't this enlightening? A president who is able to admit to his mistakes. For 8 years we had a president who has never admitted to anything-the war, Katrina, Must I remind you--. It's good to see that I have a president who is confident enough in himself to actually admit his faults.

[G0dspelronin]

No it doesn't play into our sympathies...it confirms our worse fears that the change promised was from bad to worse....if it keeps going like this 4 more years of the same is gonna start sounding better than "opps I screwed up" "my bad"...

[cicero747]

What corporations did with your bailout $:

50M corporate jet - City Group

400M naming rights of NY Mets stadium - City Group

5 day employee super bowl carnival - Bank of America

440K employee spa party - AIG

86K Partridge hunt for executives - AIG

Tax payers getting screwed and blindly asking for more screwing: Priceless

[cicero747]

Instead of saying that bush was right or obama is right... can we entertain that possibility that they are both wrong?

$1.6 trillion to bailout wallstreet & state govs mean that each of your families (~4 people) will fork out 20K. When was the last time the gov gave you 20K in tough times?

I know Obama wants to be JFK but this "ask not what wallstreet can do for you, ask what you can do for wallstreet." makes no sense.

Dems & reps both failed you. Now thats a true bipartisan statement.

[NewChristianSoldiers]

Fucking BULLSHIT! Fuck you Democrat and Republican CRIMINALS!

What gives YOU the right to steal our money through taxes then waste it all THEN have to BORROW over a TRILLION DOLLARS from CHINA to WASTE even MORE MONEY! FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!

Americans need to go to Washington and BURN the whole fucking place DOWN TO THE GROUND!

It's because of your greed and ignorance that brought us to this point NOT the American peoples!

STOP TRYING TO BY US OUT OF YOUR OWN MESS!.

Are you a good kisser?

1. at the end of this video, hold your breath and don't let go

2. copy and copy this entire message

3. Go to a new video, make a new message, and paste.

4. Now, you go to another video and do the same thing

5. Did you do it? Well if you did then you're a good kisser

[cicero747]

Based on Magni56's comments and proof of lack of logic, I have reason to believe that he is a 5 years old and his mommy and daddy forgot to set the cyber nanny on him.

So it very simple people, stop encouraging his BS, just mark his comments as SPAM and he will be gone in no time. I mean unless you really enjoy debating with a child.

[ankou2188]

In all honesty, people who debate and bash each others ideas are who I consider the children in political arguments. Just as well as people who fail or don't even try to see the other side of the story.

You can perfectly well get your point across without shoving it down their throats.

I can understand the point where Obama screwed up on one choice, and still has another corrupt in the cabinet. But on the other hand, I can ALSO understand and relate to the fact that he admitted it.

[ankou2188]

Dunno about you, but I'd rather be stuck with the man that confesses his mistakes and tries to fix them than the man who thinks himself infallible and always thinks he's right.

[cicero747]

The right answer to 1 + 1 is 2. that's just basic logic. It's not, well I can see when some times it can be 3.

It's also not 1 + 1 is 2 in this case but 3 in another.

I can see the other side too, that you think 1 + 1 is 3 but it doesn't mean its right.

The precedent set by the boss of the tax system is that if you are important enough you don't have to pay taxes unless caught. Have you ever paid taxes? If you owe $200 your credit rating is messed up. More? Jail time! Ask Al Capone.

[ankou2188]

You're still dodging the fact that I was talking about one admitting his mistake and moving on. Not who is right or wrong.

I meant Obama, and not the one who was merely apologizing because he had to. Especially when he didn't really mean it in the first place.

Obama didn't have to apologize. And neither did Bush on his numerous screw-ups. But Obama did admit it.

I do pay taxes. I love seeing a 70,000 Dollar Salary get chopped down to 44,000.

[ankou2188]

Want to buy: Edit Button instead of remove.

3rd line Continued: Obama showed the character which Bush lacked for 8 years in less than a Month in office.

1 + 1 = 2 or 3 Has Nothing to do with it.

[cicero747]

Have no idea what you are trying to say and I do wish you have an edit button. And I am not dogging anything. Bush was an idiot. So? He is not the president.

For example -

I don't agree with the 700B bill under bush and i don't agree with the 900B under obama. I am trying to watch out for my kids future. The combo of the two equates to my family forking out 25K to bailout wall street and pay state governments.

[cicero747]

So I am not trying to be partisian. I am looking at it case by case...again...If you admit that you made a mistake (Daschle) and you have an opportunity to correct another one (Giethner) and you don't. What's the point of admitting you made a mistake in the first place? Obama is getting a pass from uncritical people who doesn't understand basic logic, with no reasoning abilities and are infatuated with him. i hope you are not one of them.

Wasn't it Obama that asked us to hold him accountable?

[bjk08880]

At least this Presidant Admits his mistakes . With him it is back to the Buck stops here. No blaming others and hiding behind his title . I commend him for admiting to making mistakes. After all we are all human even the Presidant .

[yeahyeah1821]

he "screwed up" pretty quickly...im looking forward to 4 years of this =/

[Magni56]

I´mm too. At least you´ve now got a president that is enough of a man to admit it when he makes a mistake.

[runman1271]

Yea your right. I think during the election, Obama's judgment was in question. I guess McCain was not correct when he said Obama showed poor judgment, and has poor judgment, we'll call it, "he's human.

Troops not being withdrawn from Iraq like Obama promised on his first day, Gitmo is not closed, Obama promised on his first day to close it.

Now we live with Obama's bad judgment.

Obama is so stupid he makes Bush seem smart.

Change and Hope... Nope!

Obama's a Dope

[Magni56]

Better being openly honest about making a mistake than doing it like Bush with his attempt to go all Papal Infallibility and fighting tooth and nail to never, ever, ever take any responsibility for one´s own mistake.

Gobble up the hater-ade all you want, but he´s in the end a far better person than Bush ever was just because of THIS.

[cicero747]

Mangi, you need to get past the romantic idea that is Obama. He wined and dined the American people with his rhetoric now americans are married to him. There will be bad days, there will be good days but some things are major mistakes. Yes he apologized for Daschle but yet he retains Geitner. It's like he cheats on you, apologizes and then maintains another mistress on the side anyway. Sorry for the analogy but I think this is the only way you will understand being a blind groupie.

[Magni56]

Blablub. Stop the copypasting bullshit, will ´ya?

And even if it effing were so, he´d still be beter than the last 2 presidents.

But then, you are quite obviously another of the morons that think that anbody backing Obama believes in him being som kinda messiah.

[cicero747]

No i don't believe anybody backing Obama means they think Obama is some kind of messiah. I believe YOU do because you don't listen to logic. You still have not addressed the point about our Treasury secretary.  You just go on and on about generalities. Talking to you is like talking to a spoiled child.

[Magni56]

Logic? Like your attempt to redefine the word "admit"?

BEcause that´s why I bashed your nonsense.

Go read a dictionary.

"Talking to you is like talking to a spoiled child."

Thanks. Talking to right-wingers like you is like talking to an obstinate retard.

[cicero747]

Magni, so people that don't agree with you are right-winged? You are definitely the dumbest person on youtube.

[runman1271]

Your Dem VP said it is patriotic to pay your taxes. Obama's choices are not patriotic, according to Biden.

No lobbyists in the white house: Obama instantly named lobbyists.

Tomorrow, the second in charge of the justice department is being voted on. This guy supports the porn industry, a 14 year old needs not to get parent notification for an abortion, is against porn filters in the library's and wants to use European law.

Obama is a better choice... NOT

Change and Hope...

Obama's a Dope

[Magni56]

You know, that guy sounds actually a lot better than anything from the last 8 years. You know, it isn´t hard to be a better guy in the jsutice department than those nice boys that said that waterboarding isn´t torture...

[runman1271]

I didn't like Bush, but water boarding is not torture. You libs need to get over you "blame Bush." Bush is not in office, he is in Texas.

Obama the babbling idiot is now in charge.

Bush was for a larger Government, Obama is for nothing but Government.

Obama is no stupid he makes Bush seem smart.

Change and Hope... Nope!

Obama's a Dope

[Magni56]

"but water boarding is not torture."

According to whom? Because frankly, according to both human rights organisations and intelligence agencies, it is.

And no, I won´t "get over" how a republican president managed to almost completely wreck the country in a mere 8 years.

And I especially like party-line-parrotting morons like you, spewing utter tripe like "Obama is for nothing but Government."

[runman1271]

See the comment made by cicero747, he said it all.

Bullsh@t you can believe in.

Change and hope... Nope

Obama's a Dope.

[spatter188]

Geithner is a crook & a liar he knew damm well that he owed those taxes & he is guilty of tax evasion & perjury before Congress. Just the type of person that Obama & the Clinton's will be comfortable with. Birds of a feather flock together.

[killergames187]

Obama did not screw up the people that voted for hem did!!lol

[NewChristianSoldiers]

My friends a CPA and she told me that about 90% of her clients DON'T pay Federal Taxes and try to not pay ANY State taxes either. Is this a conspiracy or what? She said they tell her they refuse to pay for a corrupt governments crimes, etc. WOW! Maybe we should all stop paying taxes to send a message to Congress that THEY are the criminals! They want $900 Billion MORE of OUR money to pay for the economy THEY helped RUIN? Their OWN members DON'T Pay taxes why should we? Fuck the Government!

[killergames187]

Their is no law that you have to pay tax's on money you work for.Go to the IRS and ask them to seen the law.I have tried this and they told me to look it up,But it's not their and the people with power know this so they don't pay them!!!

Great after we struggle through 4 years of this idiot Obama, hopefully the US can Progress to a smarter and better President.

I think a better president would/could be Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck or maybe even Goofy.

Change and Hope... Nope

Obama's a Dope!
