Man, things go down on my birthday...

[ReviewrOfGames]

This was my birthday lol :P

Capitalism's legacy...Profit before Life

[renijohn012270]

The right wing conservative chicken hawks throw around the word SOCIALISM, but they have no idea what it means! They think SOCIALISM means government takes care of the poor, or thinks the government can solve all the problems of America. WRONG!!

Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society( The Rich) that controls capital, creates an unequal society, and does not provide equal opportunities for everyone in society.

earmarks were only 2% of the bull, plus the bill was drawn up under the bush administration. if they were to draw up a new bill do you know how many more months it would take just to go through congress before the economy collapses even further

[mx70kc]

bill*

[DillonX]

The smart-money is back on wall street.

Warren Buffett says this is a fantastic time to buy & he's picking up bargains on a # of stocks.

Bill Gates has also jumped back in now with millions.

I believe I'd rather follow the example of the 2 richest men than follow the inane advise of Cramer.

I hope you didn't buy when the mkt was 14,000.

[ver506]

Republicans are such hypocrites, i can't take it anymore!!!!

[Jdubbleyoo]

40% of the earmarks are from Republicans. That's a fact.

[hectorlca]

Therefore, 60% of the earmarks are from Democrats. Did I get the math right?

[Jdubbleyoo]

Of course smart guy. But the Dems are not the ones screaming bloody-hypocritical-murder. Hence my point. Please try to keep up with the logic of the conversation. Thank you.

[zakattak80]

i ask who is screaming bloody-hypocritical-murder.

[Jdubbleyoo]

Please pay attention and try to keep up with the events being discussed.

[CherryIce1114]

But there are more Dems than repubs so its about even

[MooseOfReason]

This "rally" is what Peter Schiff is talking about. It's a bull move in a bear market. He said when the markets rise dramatically - several hundred point rises - that it's a sign of a bear market. He wouldn't be surprised if the Dow climbed back up to 8,500.

[WhoRonPaul]

100 million jobs suddenly available.. no credit checks from banks, jobs or rental property.. farmers growing at a profit.. manufacturers resisting the urge to profit.. states relaxing regulation on personal liberties.. auditing the federal reserve and the IRS.. any one of these things happening would be a sign of an early fix to economy.. the rest is a bunch of Bull (market)

[hentailover20]

fagots, obama just fixed the economy so up yours.

[MooseOfReason]

hentailover20, Fixed? Really?

[valgehiir]

hentailover20, yours is the funniest comment i've read in a long time

[route99]

I guess Fox News has something new to get fake outraged or FOX-RAGED, as I'll call it.

Earmarks!! How dare Obama sign a bill with 2% spending on projects that will go to the very Republicans who are FOX-RAGED about it!

This may actually get McCain back on Faux News! He's back in the fold! He's out of the woods! Palin found him and though he was a polar bear, and was going to shoot him and bag him but Fox and Friends got there just in time! Phew, that was close!

[carrierexchange]

Oh the evil! The evil!

Bush killed thousands (troops), let thousands die (katrina) but the evil is Obama with his 2% pork.

[FDASARO]

shut up about the pork already, jesus christ

all the earmarks in that bill make up about 1-2% of the total expense

cry me a river

[addmoreice]

2% of the bill. yes, the pork exists. yes obama plans to push hard on a series of changes to get this changed. yes he is letting a bill pass that has pork in order to maintain some political push in order to get OTHER things passed later on. it's called perspective people.

is it a necessary evil? depends on how much you consider a few dollars wasted being evil compared to stopping billions of dollars of waste later on.

[PersonalJesus348]

LOL is the recession over? no bitch. You just entered the gates of hell. Heaven just showed light for a few moments. Back to the fire.

[TheNoel]

Whether it's good sex or bad sex, it's like pizza.

[dddiegopan]

i agree, i finished my masters in late 2005, if this situation happened then it would have forced me to investigate more on the present than the past. I say publish your knowledge online.

Old grandpa's advice: To be ahead of the Curb, you must be informed. saludos from panama

[matman125]

You can't say Good Morning America when America can't WAKE UP!

[SquallCloud]

This was a fun one. These 100 seconds things almost make it like the collective news in this country has multiple personality disorder. One day everyone is depressed and the next day everyone is happy. lol

[SoySauceInAShotGlass]

Hahahahaha, as soon as the market goes up, the people sitting there commentating everyday on the presidency that has said he's been doing a crumby job at "fixing the economy" are suddenly happy with the way he is doing things!

As John Stewart said on The Daily Show, the DOW is NOT a barometer for how well the president is doing, it is a market estimation!

[eliotschreiner]

couldn't have said it better myself.

[itsallgood5000]

Keep taking your cues from a variety show. Smart move.

[SoySauceInAShotGlass]

I agree with you a little, how much good will that do me?

But have you inspected the logic behind it yet? The president, until recently, has never really been expected to be a economic mediator, until recently. It is not in his job description, it is not his expertise, and for Obama, the current market is not even 1% his fault.

So, whats wrong taking a cue from a variety cue if it makes sense and is true?

[voyeurdug]

During the campaign, got used to McCain's rictus-grin when his lies tangle with the truth. He might as well wear a flashing neon sign that says, "oops, ya got me again."

[Mel1334]

I love gibbs, he's so cute.

[herewego22]

i know jonathan khron isnt on this video, but am i the only one that wants to shoot him?

[Cagebreaker21]

people are so frantic they want answers to a long term problem AND THEY WANT THEM NOW

[adventurenox]

What would they rather see done with human waste?

[Richardgwm]

Republicans need to shut up and get out of the way.

[tjm7077]

I think they should all move to Texas and secede.

[smmm1968]

That would be the day.

[benmols]

If only we could turn FoxNews into usefull power.... unlimited source of shit in that place!

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

People think that I didn't vote for Obama.. you're wrong!! The reason why I watched this without the volume on is because it breaks my heart to see my fellow Americans believe this crap!! It's called the North American Union, Our government keeps on throwing these bullshit stories at us to scare us!! Do you guys honestly think that Mexicans are cutting heads off and putting them in coolers? Everyday? Please wake up up!! Youtube the North American Union.. Learn something.

[snipzor]

Ah, you must be one of those NAUTards. A group which rivals idiocy with the Loose Change jerkoffs.

[UGOTDAJACK]

Ah, yet another disinformation agent. You people are too obvious. You really should try being more subtle.

[tjm7077]

Just start sending them here:

/zapatopiDOTnet/afdb/

They're probably not making them right...

[BEANMANOR]

I'm not exactly sure Youtube is a great primary source to get your info. If you REALLY thing there is going to be a North American Union, why would you even vote?

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

I found out about it on Sunday!! I'm not one of those people that sit around and look for stuff like that, People at my college told me about it.

[snakefilm]

I think your the one that needs to wake up, Mexicans cutting heads off and putting them in coolers? wtf No i do NOT think that, honestly how did you even come up with that.

[dennist3hmenace]

What else are you going to do with a severed human head? Putting it in a cooler is a good option. Have you ever tried storing one? There are complications you might not be aware of. :)

[BEANMANOR]

Uh, why does FOX news talk about using waste to generate energy like it is a bad thing? They show their ignorance. I assume that they do NOT know that we harness methane gas from dumps to help power cities (ie Chicago). Turning waste into power is the equivalent of killing two birds with one stone. Why not? (note: I still think the earmark to fund it might be a little presumptuous, but its still a good idea.)

[hollygolightly66]

Just think of the all the human waste at Fox. Hannity and Beck alone could probably power an entire city with the BS they spew daily.

[monalisasmiles4you]

McCain is like that grumpy old man in your neighborhood who sits on his porch with a rifle in his lap and growls about the kids stepping on his lawn.

haha

[wervasdeferens]

Great editing!

[ver506]

I love the GOP's outrage about almost everything president Obama does. It's BS!

[bobhardball]

Listening to the current GOP leaders is a waste of time!!!

[flang]

Especially considering there are no GOP leaders.

[bobhardball]

Do not describe the GOP as leaderless. ´Cause if the goofy fat pill-popping Idiot hear that, you might get into trouble. Ask Michael Steele, ´cause he knows something about that!!!

[squidb8]

Well Jindall and McCain are correct that money isn't free. When we're down to spending imaginary money in the hopes of making some real money 2% spent on pork is 2% too much.

[ProSkill3r]

lol this is good.

[WRKasper]

This is soo funny!

[snipzor]

I'm sure you were one of those hopefuls who thought he would fulfill all of his promises within a month.

[HugeHeroesFan]

There's plenty of those around here.

[bkarwin]

Right, Obama also said all along that he wouldn't be in favor of blocking progress in the name of seeking unattainable perfection.

Yes, 2% pork is 2% too much. New rules to prevent wasteful earmarks are overdue. But I wouldn't want govt to shut down in the meantime because spending bills are imperfect.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

no you didn't
