And to think going into the election Americans saw Obama as weak on terrorism but strong on the economy. Now they see him as strong on terrorism but weak on the economy.
Good job, Mr. President! Way to put him in his place. What? Sen. McCain though he could do a better job? He has even less academic experience than most people on the hill. Funny how every one forgets that McCain admitted during the campaign that he did not fully understand economics. If you think things are bad under the current administration, think about how bad it would be under someone who knows nothing about what needs to be done.
MOST people are incapable of seing process. They only see results. Quite simple thinking: I'm good now, government reelected, I'm not so good now, time for a change.
The elected president is the one harvesting the crops, not the one planting them. Same goes for the opposite, I bet most americans blame Obama's government for the current crisis.
As usual we have heard part of a conversation and from that we must judge. I would like to hear the rest of what Obama had to say and not what CBSnews have decided we can hear, what did CBS edit out I wonder? The media has the power to distort the truth which they do every day, and from this distorted truth we judge each other. No wonder there is so much distrust in the world!!
Obama obviously does not care about the well being of the American citizens because he tries to revive the economy the same way each time and it fails. That is just my opinion. Either he is not that educated in the world of economics or he has some sort of agenda. Are you implying that Obama isn't even an American citizen? Oh I get it, the country that provides the most international aid in the world is just ignorant and hateful. Did you get that out of a fortune cookie?
It always surprises me how stupid Americans are. Not all of them of course, but a large section of that population seems to have a mind more suitable to the Dark Ages. Obama at least tries with his Health Care package. The Republicans don't seem to have a clue about the wider world.
Wow, Obama is the biggest fucking prick. Remember when he talked about honesty, and being all about what he campaigns? Yet he treated the healthcare bill in the way he did, and McCain calls him out for it and he has that arrogance response? And people STILL like this fuckhead Obama?
For an entire year, otherwise clear-thinking members of the most affluent, over-educated, information-drenched generation in American history fell prey to the most expensive, hi-tech, laser-focused marketing assault in presidential campaign history.
The result: an unthinking mass of young voters marched forward to elect the most radical, anti-american and untested president in U.S. history. And the biggest mistake in modern history!
@lv2surf Your taking it back? Tell me friend, what have you taken back? Your "Americanism"? What have you done to take back something that was never taken away?
@Danester01 hi dane.if being educated means turning out like barry obama than by all means i want no part of harvard-yale or any institution.the man is jimmy carter on steroids.he is diminished and a failure of historic nature.
@LEWFROST2 Actually, that's your opinion. And neither Harvard nor Yale are high-schools, so, no I don't believe you'll turn out like him. He's probably smarter than a very large percentage of the population, but simply because he's an African American Democrat, he will automatically be hated by a large portion of the nation. It's politics, not intelligence.
@Danester01 well thank god for that.the last person i want to emulate is barry do-nothing-blowhard obama.nice try on the race card but its a dud.70 million voted for the man and clearly saw he was half black-half white.they fell for his HOPE+CHANGE marketing message but now he has his own record and its dismall.here is barry's CHANGE=1.record bankruptcies 2.record foreclosures 3.record 43 million on food stamps 4.unemployment at 9% 5.dollar drops 19% value in 09.OBAMA A DISASTER LIKE NO OTHER.A0
@xxramblingsxx He's actualy not atheistic, you can not prove with feasible evidence that he's anti-American, and aren't all politicians crooks? And if he came from nowhere, so did Abraham Lincoln, who, if I recollect, was failed post-master in his city. Some of the most successful men in the history in America come from humble beginnings. For example, have you ever heard the name Rockefeller? How about the railroad tycoons such as Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, or J.P. Morgan?
McCain is going senile. Seriously, the more I see him in interviews the more he is becoming so absent minded and just not all there. Very scary, and reminds me of the last few years when Regan was running this country and unknown to anyone he was already in the beginning stages of alzheimers. I believe he is turning 75 this year. He shouldn't even be driving, let alone be a senator. Its sad because I used to like him but he's become such a hateful and mean spirited individual.
@DoomDevil Geez!!! Dude!! This country originally belonged to the native americans and the europeans came in and killed, pillaged, enslaved and raped native americans. Despite Obama being african american, he is also a puppet of the private banking cartel like Bush was. Race is no longer an issue nowadays so please spew your racist venom in the mountains where all the other uneducated, country rednecks can be your crowd.
McCain is a sore loser. He has tried to block everything Obama has successfully passed: health care reform, Don't Ask Don't Tell, etc.. It must really suck to be McCain. I love it when Obama tells McCain in this video, "John, the election is over." Translated: "I won, you didn't, so deal with it."
everyone is missing the point. i would be annoyed too if i worked my ass off trying to get everyone in the same room to talk about health care (which was the main thing that i promised) and finally it's happening and everyone is ready to move forward and then McCain wants to take everyone a few steps back by randomly bitching about the way i went about it... even though in the end it all came together like i promised.. yea.. i would be wayyyy over McCain by then
@DatSkinnyWhiteGirl The main thing he promised actually, was that he would make the process transparent to the people by including CSPAN cameras in the actual process and to post the bill online for 5 days so that the public can read it. He did neither. Not that I expect an Obama supporter to actually hold themselves to reality, facts, promises, or anything else over here on terra firma.
McCain got owned. You could see how i was killing him to get dressed down by Obama. "How dare he talk to me like this. I'm John McCain!" The election is over McCain so get over it.
@tsnstp99 While I'm not a McCain fan politically, as an American who actually fought and bled for this country he deserves to be treated with a little bit more respect than that by a child as petulant as Obama.
Do you honestly think that less educated ppl in the United States is going to help the common wealth of this nation?
His target is Health care with the none diminishing return effect of healthier people, not having to go to the emergency room and accumulate bills that the taxpayers have to pick up anyway, which raises taxes so that the cost of living is higher and higher pay is needed, so more people need to attend college applying for gov grants and loans, making the National dept greater.
The campaign is over John. I, the almighty Obama, may prove that I lied to the American people about transparency, honesty and integrity. Obama is an embarrassment.
Pitiful McCain basically told Obama what he said he would do and Obama just insults him i see nothing to do with the elections all i see is a man who generally wants the American people to see what goes one
Gee don't piss off the Obama man or you will be put down. McCain made a calm, honest, fair statement and Obama comes back with just a rude president like attitude. He is not a leader. He has never lead or managed so we should not be surprised when he can't do either. With a due respect I hate this man and not because he is not white.
with Iran, a country that shut the doors to us right after he had said that. Illegal immigration, same-sex marriage, BP oil spill. These domestic issues are ones that need to be focused on right now, but no one knows where he is on some of this stuff, it's like they are trying to pretend it's not happening. Same-sex marriage is huge right now after a court overturned the vote banning it, he hasn't released a comment that shows what side he is on. and on immigration they are backing off on too.
@TheBasementDwelIer to say that same sex marriage is huge it's not as big as the gulf clean up and and immigration problems. these has people lively hood at stake so i would put those before same sex marriage. the diplomatic approach is a much better approach other than other ways because you approach it not jumping straight to retaliation but to rather find the who,where,whats and hows. it is time consuming but we won't we won't jump into something were not supposed to like the iraq war
@TheBasementDwelIer The only thing this administration does with Foreign Policy is says it will use compromise to bring peace, and then lets other countries walk all over us. I hate how Obama apologizes as to how we act to the rest of the world as well. I honestly do not care as to what Europeans think. Do you know why? Because I know Europeans are going to do nothing to defend themselves. Anyone can walk all over Europe because they know all Europe will do is complain then forget all about it.
@hellvelle24 I don't understand your comment on diplomacy. I would believe that declaring how we will use diplomacy to stop Iran only to have Iran shut the door to us after such a comment is jumping into something. I would also believe that Ahmadinejad feeling powerful enough to debase our president is poor diplomacy. Having China make all the calls in diplomatic meanings is poor foreign policy, also the fact that China no longer respects us is poor FP.
If Arizonia losses the case then they need to sue the feds for the cost of illegal aliens instead of Arizonia taxpayers paying for illegals education, hospital care, jail stays.

some of yall didn't even know what the debt was when bush was in office but now that Obama is in office, we all care about the deficit.get off the man nuts ok. stimulus bill,health care bill,wall street reform,consumer protection .yeah that cost but how bout we bring our troops home now but then yall call him a coward. but if he keep them there hes a liar.ending the wars would save billions a month go google that.and while you at it google how much vacation time bush took.8 years worth i say.
@hellvelle24 Doesn't matter. Even if someone trashed the country, a real leader doesn't complain and point fingers at someone else. They shut up, think, and fix the problems. Now Obama has been trying, he is intelligent but I think he just did not have the experience needed to face the challenges at hand. I think HIllary would have been better, but that is my opnion and it is over now. The reason the country is in bad shape is not because of Bush or Obama, its because of those in congress.
@TheBasementDwelIer The sad thing is come this fall, we will still have to pick one of two poisons for our country. Democrat/Republican both parties really suck and will cause future problems.... We really need a new party in power, maybe a Libertarian or Moderate will get a strong standing in congress. Hopefully... Only time will tell... If you want to lol look up Maxine Waters or Rengel... I know there are corrupt republicans too, I just don't know how these fools get elected...
@TheBasementDwelIer first off, thank you for replying with a comment that make sense. unlike some of these other people that be on youtube that like to reply to people calling them assholes, niggers or motherfuckers.if your into politics like i am i would love to here more of your opinions other than talking to so called youtube thugs sounding tough on a keyboard. just like you said, obama is not to blame, congress is out of control.both sides is playin political ping pong with the people.
@TheBasementDwelIer both parties has lost touch putting political gains,fearing they will lose their seat in the senate or house. this country is going down the toilet and congressional figures is pushing the handle.
@hellvelle24 Yes the congressional figures are really messing things up and are the leading cause to a lot of the problems right now. But don't get me wrong, I do have problems with this president. I never knew Bush, I was too young. President Obama is really the first president I have known. What I dislike is the fact that he won't take stances on any very important issues that are gripping the country right now. I don't like the way China shirks us off, and this whole "diplomatic approach"
this video is a great show of Mccain calling out what obama said. Obama; health care debates and all of this will be on cspan Cspan: Ok lets roll Obama: Wait we're doing backdoor deals... don't film it Cspan: But but but... Mccain: HEY OBAMA, YOU SAID YOU SHOW THE PEOPLE! Obama: we aren't campaigning anymore, i'm president and i can do what i want Mccain: You lied Obama: I did what i had to... for the people Mccain: This isn't the right way to Obama: CHANGE!!!
Be thankful McCain is still around. When he's gone who replaces him as the most respected elder statesman of the GOP? I agree McCain has lowered himself in recent years, but part of that was just to survive in an increasingly extreme party. He's a thousand times the man anyone else in GOP hierarchy is.
It's funny that people jokingly refer to him as the Annointed One, because he IS up there with Lincoln and FDR as a great President. He is a high caliber leader deserving of accolades and reverence. The failed Bush years, are over. Just like the Buchanan (before Lincoln), and the Hoover (before FDR) years are over.
Keep in mind that McCain has had to survive in a party that has gotten more and more extreme over the years. He used to be almost universally respected. And he's very old now. Anyone who tells you they know a 70-year-old who is just as sharp as ever is kidding themselves.
I can't blame McCain too much for being bitter. He was 1000 times the man Bush Jr. ever was, and yet his party shit on him in 2000, and only tolerates him today.
Obama is in office because he got the retard vote. Even though the true reasons for the economic downfall have come to light (morons buying homes they couldn't afford, people living off credit, nobody actually BUYING anything anymore, greed, etc.) some people STILL point the finger at Bush. When the economy initially crashed people immediately pointed the finger at Bush (easy thing to do for the ignorant), but to still be doing that only shows how much of a moron you are.
The reason Obama reacted the way he did was because everyone was talking about a whole different issue at the time. I remember watching the healthcare meeting on TV, and McCain's comment came out of nowhere.
u said in the pres; campaign that u knew how to capture osama bin laden .. r u keeping it a secrete cuz u didnt win?? and u said u knew how to win wars, u wernt that good; how many voters did u think u scared into voting for u?? country first?? GOOD RIDDANCE ASS WIPE.
BOMB, BOMB, BOMB, BOMB, BOMB IRAN! I would take a nigger over mccain anyday. As a matter of fact i would rather have a black prison gang in the White house than Mccain. The fuckin old bastard is delarious! To anyone who supported the fuck that would have kept us in the middle east for 100 years ur the problem with this country. Selfish nation building war mongering pricks who like to police the world.
CBO estimates released this Tuesday predicts the health care overhaul will likely cost $115 billion more in discrestionary spending over ten years than the original cost estimated. Who would have guess? LOL! And that is just the new estimate. Actual will be much higher, I'm sure!
This shows that President Obama has no dignity. He cant even show a senator who is old enough to be his dad respect. How dare he call him by his first name! Even if you are the President, you address a senator as "senator".
@drumsforlife789 that man has important business to attend to, has to be short with people that are wasting time. That being said, I hate McCain because he is a little prick and I loved the way Obama shut him lol.
Look I respect McCain and what he thinks. But he always acts like it's still in the election. He needs to accept it's over, because now its time to stop thinking Obama vs McCain. He needs to put differences apart and help america instead of helping a certain political campaign. Not to mention he needs to let Obama finish his sentence! What happened to respect!
Sad to see McCain acting like a caricature of himself: the grumpy bitter old man. If he wants to be mad at someone be mad at Bush and his cronies. The Bushies smeared him to no end in 2000, and then they left the party and the country in ruins. Obama's painting him as Bush 2 was inevitable. Anyone in Obama's position would've done the same thing.
You single-digit IQ morons who constantly play the Bush Card when Obama, the Annointed One is criticized, are tiring. The Annointed One rode into the White House like a hero and immediately played the Bush Card. Heros dont whine about what the problems they think they inherited, they solve problems. Your whining president has only succeeded in putting generations of Americans in debt. He should found an institute called, Whining Your Way to Alienation.
@wildetaube Obama's not the one who said he was doing "God's work." I would say his ego is a lot smaller than the monarchists who claim divine right. And you're right - Clinton was a great, great President don't you agree? After all, he was the last one under which we had a surplus.
@wildetaube I agree. And when he is not playing the whining about Bush card, he is playing the race and demonization cards. It is like he choses the people that he wants to play president over and the rest of us he either ignores, demonizes, or plays the race card with. Obama will go down as the worst president ever! I am so sick of seeing him on TV telling me what he thinks is right and wrong, when we all know it is Obama that is wrong!
@Aprilmax010 Didn't you hear your Supreme Leader on Good Morning America? Oh yeah, he said that, "Blacks have a smaller margin for error. Me and Obama have a smaller margin for error, because we're Black."-Michael Steele No mention of him playing the race card, eh?
Btw; "The worst President ever"? WOW! That's a stretch. Or, maybe you're not up to date on your civics, social studies, or history lessons. Look up the "WORST US PRESIDENTS" and tell me what qualifies BHO to become the Worst ever.
@wildetaube ,obama is a big eared asswipe.Nobody's disputing that,but 2 years ago we had to fight mccain tooth and nail to stop him giving citizenship to 20 million illegals and now this s.o.b. says he supports the new arizona law because he wants to win the election for state senator.I say,BULLSHIT.
"The anointed one"..really? Who calls him that except people like you? You know why we can't criticize the leader we voted for? Because you people all hate him for no reason. So the second we try to voice our disapproval for a measure or piece of legislature we sound like we are on your idiotic side. So rather than sound like an absolute moron like you and be counted with the Glen Becks of the world we just hold on and hope for the best. Where were you when Bush Tripled the national deficit?
@spacelingokc Here we go again! "Where were you when Bush tripled the national deficit?" Well, I was personally against Bush and his deficit spending. I didn't want to go to war, I didn't want him to expand Medicare, I didn't want the patriot act to be passed, and much more. I could go on and on. I might be a Republican, but I have no problem what so ever when it comes to criticizing my own party. It's the Democrats that seem to have that problem. Obama's just as bad if not worse than Bush.
@spacelingokc According to CBS News, Bush increased the national debt $4 trillion during his 8 yrs in office. (Keep in mind that his terms included several huge unexpected calamities/expenses - 9/11, Katrina, Afghanistan, Iraq). Now, one-and-a-half yrs into Obama's first term, he has added--how much? That's right, $4 trillion to the national debt. About $1 trillion on this was wasted on the failed economic stimulus, which hasn't brought down the unemployment rate, as he guaranteed. WAKE UP.
The National Debt stood at $10.626 trillion the day Mr. Obama was inaugurated. The Bureau of Public Debt reported today that the National Debt had hit an all time high of $13.665 trillion.
@heavym3tal Is it possible that the national dept has risen, while Obama has the Presidential office, because of the Gov stimulus to get more ppl in college, the stimulus that gave ppl with SSI up to $500 the 1st yr he was in office, the war going on in Iraq and the sum of money the National Security administration is utilizing to secure the airports and other interest - maybe the government is still spending on the Hurricane Katrina clean-up? Obama is an exemplary Pres, get out and volunteer!
@firetruck270 Wouldn't the responsible, though unpopular thing to do would be to stop government stimuli, make cut-backs on certain bureacracies (Dept of Education, Dept of Homeland Security, etc.), and pay down the national debt?
@spacelingokc Because it's easier to attack the choice of words somebody uses to post on here than it is to defend the president for LYING about including CSPAN cameras during the process to draft a health care bill. Way to speak to the issues, buddy.
@wildetaube So true about heros not whining and pointing fingers at the problem starters and simply solving the problems at hand. It's crazy how many morons still just pull the Bush card whenever anything negative (and true) is said about Obama. And worse, you have to be pretty ignorant to still not understand how little Bush had to do with the economic downturn and how much of it was caused by those pointing the fingers in the first place. Thumbs up to your post.
@timorbit That's a bit delusional. Both parties are completely to blame for the economic downtown, because both enabled deregulation. It includes Bush, but it also includes every presidential administration since Nixon.
I don't think I even need to get into your comment about the "retard vote" - nevermind that Obama won the votes of the most highly educated according to exit polls.
Nothing you said is anything but ideological demagoguery. It's a shame, really.
You're just as retarded as they are. You're both looking for heroes and villians, when in reality we're all Americans... stop being such fucking bigots.
Why the hell should anyone care what the right wing thinks? Your idea of a good president was George W. Bush. You're the last people on the planet anyone should want to approve of Obama. I can't imagine a better indicator that he's doing fine than the fact that people like you are foaming at the mouth.
well look on the brightside, he will only be a one term president. Hopefully republicans take over the house and hopefully the senate this november and put ths socialist muslim president in check. I believe Karma will get Obama in the long run.
@gigmaster222 if republicans get control back in congress and win the White House they will quadruple the national debt all in the name of going to war with Iran while adding another massive across the board "Tax Loan" (they may call it a Tax Cut) borrowed 100% from China! They would repeal financial reform for their Wall Street cronies rewinding us back to September 2008! I am a liberal with some conservative values but if I were to vote conservative it would be libertarian... JUST SAYIN!
hmmmm what was the national debt in sep o8? 360 billion, now its 3+ trillion. Also if republicans started a war with iran at least somebody would be doing something about them. Because if Iran smuggled in a nuke and detonated in a populated city like L.A., chicago, NY Etc. What do you think would happen to the U.S. economy?
@gigmaster222 actually Bush's last budget that he submitted was in Jan. 2009 which was in the red 1.8 Trillion dollars. Because Obama pushed the recovery bill that made the deficit 1.9 trillion dollars. I guess that means shame on Obama because he was only handed the worst economic catastrophe since The Great Depression lol!
@gigmaster222 oh and Bush never included the cost of the two wars or Medicare Part D or his tax cuts in any of his budgets until 2009. I Wonder why that was? This way Bush doesn't have to take responsibility for the debt he ran up. When his 2008 Budget says 360 billion in the red and Obama's 2010 budget says 1.9 trillion on the surface it looks like Obama is going crazy with the credit card! When in reality Bush just hid a lot of the expenses he racked up until it was time for him to go!
@gigmaster222 think about what you are saying for a minute....even if Iran developed a nuclear weapon they would not be foolish enough to use it against the undisputed nuclear power in the world lol! We have thousands of nuclear war heads that could blow the world up several times over with the most advanced Navy and military force in the world. Iran barely has a navy and fought Saddam for 10 years...we beat him in like two weeks ROFL!
You are extremely naive, If you think Iran wouldnt use one if they had it. They have nothing to lose and the iranian president is crazy enough to use it. You are right about one thing, if they did it, america would destroy there country in about 5 minutes. But knowing Obama he would probably just forgive them and try to be friends with them and not retaliate.
@gigmaster222 Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may be a lot of bad things but crazy ain't one of them. If that were the case he would have already attacked Israel. Like Saddam Hussein he talks real big to save face but anybody can see he is incapable of doing much damage against a super power. He understands the cost of war would far outweigh the benefit. Put it this way...attacking Israel or the U.S. would be equevalent to him and his countrymen committing mass suiside! What's the sense in that?
@gigmaster222 WELL...if he is as crazy as you think he is what does he need a nuke for? He should just attack Isreal now right? Whats one nuke going to do against two thouand nukes huh?
@gigmaster222 why would you say they have nothing to lose? They are one of the richest countries in the World being a leader in the oil industry. Their people are extremely well educated in comparison to other nations. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad loves power he talks big shit as a front to seem strong among his constituents and that's how he maintains power. This is the same thing Saddam Hussein did. If he attacks us he loses that power and his country loses everything!
@gigmaster222 oh and just an FYI for ya in September 2008 the national debt was 10 trillion dollars today it is 12 trillion. 90% of the debt is due to Bush era policies such as the two wars in Iraq and afghanistan, Medicare Part D, Tax Cuts in 2001 and 2003 ALL added to the DEBT thank you very much not to mention the fact that 8 million people lost there jobs during the last recession which resulted in lost tax revenues. We have only recovered about 600,000 of the 8 million jobs lost this year!
@gigmaster222 No? google Bush 2009 Federal Budget! He left Obama with a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. If Obama follows the republican stradegy and let the market correct itself we would be looking at an additional 10 to 13 million out of work and a 27% Unemployment rate. If he does what every other President has done in a recession and deficit spend he risks coming off looking like the biggest spender ever because the country was already in unpresedented debt!
@wildetaube When has Obama "whined" about the problems he's inherited? It's people like you who tel people this shit and they're stupid enough to believe it. Go back to watching Fox News.
@wildetaube Well its not playing the "Bush Card" when you get people saying things like "Your whining president has only succeeded in putting generations of Americans in debt." You see we are simply reminding you that Obama isn't why we're in debt, its because 8 years of selling off the country to the highest bidder and not giving a fuck about responsible investment or the American people. But Republicans have always had limited memories. Here's where I wait for you to pin it all on Clinton.
@spidey7966 What would Reagan do? Push back womens rights about 20 years and bankrupt the middle class. Also use the bible as "evidence" for his anti-gay and anti-feminist laws.
@spidey7966 Reagan would screw the poor and middle class while tripling the national debt as he funds terrorists in Iran to overthrow popular governments in Central America. And ride a horse sometimes. USA!USA!
@spidey7966 Let's see......Looking @ my keyboard, I find it hard to believe that, "you hit the wrong key". Don't get upset @ me because you can't spell, jackass! What would St. Ronnie do about your spelling? He probably would just do what he did on two seperate occasions.....Raise your taxes, you damn fool! Don't tell me you're rich, because, if you were, you wouldn't spend so much time arguing with complete strangers.......ON YOU-TUBE! Now, walk it off.
@spidey7966 Just because you had your ass handed to you on the facts about (st. ronnie) and the misspelling of his name, don't get upset @ me. You started with the name calling, "asswipe". No response on st. ronnie raising taxes, eh? Now, walk it off. Btw; In case you were NOT aware, it's REAGAN, dipshit. LOL
The guy I voted for WON! Why would I be upset? bwahahahahahaha
@DurLock345 not have but 4 SURE, CAN. Law school has turned into what liberals did to college with there social science bullshit, just do the time, pay the money, take in the indoctirnation,fill up papers with load and loads of rambling crap, and you too can get your law degree. Being smart has nothing to do with being a laywer anymore, 30 yrs ago yes, today, not at all.
Mccain is just a sore looser. YOU LOST! Stop acting like a baby!

In 2008, Barack Obama lobotomized a generation.
For an entire year, otherwise clear-thinking members of the most affluent, over-educated, information-drenched generation in American history fell prey to the most expensive, hi-tech, laser-focused marketing assault in presidential campaign history.
The result: an unthinking mass of young voters marched forward to elect the most radical, anti-american and untested president in U.S. history. And the biggest mistake in modern history!

His target is Health care with the none diminishing return effect of healthier people, not having to go to the emergency room and accumulate bills that the taxpayers have to pick up anyway, which raises taxes so that the cost of living is higher and higher pay is needed, so more people need to attend college applying for gov grants and loans, making the National dept greater.

That's right, $4 trillion to the national debt. About $1 trillion on this was wasted on the failed economic stimulus, which hasn't brought down the unemployment rate, as he guaranteed. WAKE UP.

@gigmaster222 oh and Bush never included the cost of the two wars or Medicare Part D or his tax cuts in any of his budgets until 2009. I Wonder why that was? This way Bush doesn't have to take responsibility for the debt he ran up. When his 2008 Budget says 360 billion in the red and Obama's 2010 budget says 1.9 trillion on the surface it looks like Obama is going crazy with the credit card! When in reality Bush just hid a lot of the expenses he racked up until it was time for him to go!

@gigmaster222 think about what you are saying for a minute....even if Iran developed a nuclear weapon they would not be foolish enough to use it against the undisputed nuclear power in the world lol! We have thousands of nuclear war heads that could blow the world up several times over with the most advanced Navy and military force in the world. Iran barely has a navy and fought Saddam for 10 years...we beat him in like two weeks ROFL!

You are extremely naive, If you think Iran wouldnt use one if they had it. They have nothing to lose and the iranian president is crazy enough to use it. You are right about one thing, if they did it, america would destroy there country in about 5 minutes. But knowing Obama he would probably just forgive them and try to be friends with them and not retaliate.

@gigmaster222 Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may be a lot of bad things but crazy ain't one of them. If that were the case he would have already attacked Israel. Like Saddam Hussein he talks real big to save face but anybody can see he is incapable of doing much damage against a super power. He understands the cost of war would far outweigh the benefit. Put it this way...attacking Israel or the U.S. would be equevalent to him and his countrymen committing mass suiside! What's the sense in that?

He hasnt attacked israel yet , because he doesnt have a nuke yet.
gigmaster222 1 year ago
@gigmaster222 WELL...if he is as crazy as you think he is what does he need a nuke for? He should just attack Isreal now right? Whats one nuke going to do against two thouand nukes huh?

@gigmaster222 why would you say they have nothing to lose? They are one of the richest countries in the World being a leader in the oil industry. Their people are extremely well educated in comparison to other nations. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad loves power he talks big shit as a front to seem strong among his constituents and that's how he maintains power. This is the same thing Saddam Hussein did. If he attacks us he loses that power and his country loses everything!

@gigmaster222 oh and just an FYI for ya in September 2008 the national debt was 10 trillion dollars today it is 12 trillion. 90% of the debt is due to Bush era policies such as the two wars in Iraq and afghanistan, Medicare Part D, Tax Cuts in 2001 and 2003 ALL added to the DEBT thank you very much not to mention the fact that 8 million people lost there jobs during the last recession which resulted in lost tax revenues. We have only recovered about 600,000 of the 8 million jobs lost this year!

@gigmaster222 No? google Bush 2009 Federal Budget! He left Obama with a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. If Obama follows the republican stradegy and let the market correct itself we would be looking at an additional 10 to 13 million out of work and a 27% Unemployment rate. If he does what every other President has done in a recession and deficit spend he risks coming off looking like the biggest spender ever because the country was already in unpresedented debt!

@wildetaube When has Obama "whined" about the problems he's inherited? It's people like you who tel people this shit and they're stupid enough to believe it. Go back to watching Fox News.

@wildetaube Well its not playing the "Bush Card" when you get people saying things like "Your whining president has only succeeded in putting generations of Americans in debt." You see we are simply reminding you that Obama isn't why we're in debt, its because 8 years of selling off the country to the highest bidder and not giving a fuck about responsible investment or the American people. But Republicans have always had limited memories. Here's where I wait for you to pin it all on Clinton.

@spidey7966 What would Reagan do? Push back womens rights about 20 years and bankrupt the middle class. Also use the bible as "evidence" for his anti-gay and anti-feminist laws.

@spidey7966 Reagan would screw the poor and middle class while tripling the national debt as he funds terrorists in Iran to overthrow popular governments in Central America. And ride a horse sometimes. USA!USA!

@spidey7966 Let's see......Looking @ my keyboard, I find it hard to believe that, "you hit the wrong key". Don't get upset @ me because you can't spell, jackass! What would St. Ronnie do about your spelling? He probably would just do what he did on two seperate occasions.....Raise your taxes, you damn fool! Don't tell me you're rich, because, if you were, you wouldn't spend so much time arguing with complete strangers.......ON YOU-TUBE! Now, walk it off.

@spidey7966 Just because you had your ass handed to you on the facts about (st. ronnie) and the misspelling of his name, don't get upset @ me. You started with the name calling, "asswipe". No response on st. ronnie raising taxes, eh? Now, walk it off. Btw; In case you were NOT aware, it's REAGAN, dipshit. LOL
The guy I voted for WON! Why would I be upset? bwahahahahahaha
