  • "fuel efficient" thats why your stupid fucking government shoots down hydro powered cars, electricity powered vehicles because they would put the oil companies out of buisness right? Fucking typical government politician scum

  • I got rid of my polluting car eleven years ago. But still have to breath automobile air pollution day after day. Still incessantly distracted by stupid automobile noise pollution, day after day. Asphalt suffocation, concrete suffocation, dashboard hypnosis, gasoline psychosis... It's a diagnosis. Puppets of the automobile / oil / asphalt / concrete / construction industry cartels, free yourselves. CarFree . com -- EcoCityBuilders . org. Puppets of the ego manipulation industry, free yourselves.

  • OUR GOVERNMENT IS FOR SALE AND BIG OIL OWNS IT...CHECK OUT MY VIDEO @ KASHKASANOVATV

  • @vetxcl The only sustainable energy is oil and gas---they dont require the wind to blow or the sun to shine.

  • Well the Senate voted and no they are not going to end the subsidies. Should we end the subsidies for all those 'green' industries the Pres keeps promoting? One solar panel making factory that got govt 'green' money has closed a factory and laid off some workers--yea some govt wasted dollars there. And now the Pres has been kind enough to allow for drilling permits. I guess reality is setting in--what the hell took so long to figure that out? Eviction notice: Jan 20, 2013.

  • @ChristianWorldOrder2 You idiot republicans like you are the reason there is LITTLE change going on. Oh and you posting pictures of Osama's dead body is Barbaric and in poor taste, get a life!!!

  • @TexadaArmsted how am i in charge of this Country DO YOU SEE HOW FOOLISH YOU MAKE YOURSELF SOUND? i have better things to do instead of argueing with you go find someone else to annoy yea i am the reason why there is little change going on yea i run the Country go find someone else to bother

  • @TexadaArmsted 2 things are going on here with you number 1 you work for the government or number 2 you are very very extremely stupid which one take your pick there is no monkey in the middle in this situation

  • @TexadaArmsted oh wait wait wait what about the bombings in Libya wasn't Obama suppose to go through Congress before he did this? but he refused therefor this is IMPEACHMENT TIME!

  • @TexadaArmsted yep thats it hide and run when i ask these questions hypocrite

  • @TexadaArmsted btw Obama is pushing for world war 3 do you know what that means if WW3 happens it means DRAFT time so if you want to go to war without making your own decision but the government making it for you then you keep supporting One Big Ass Mistake America

  • @ChristianWorldOrder2 You make christians look like stupid idiots with no facts. I am in the Armed Services and there is NO TALK of a world war 3. If anything you should blame Bush for a so called "world war 3". Lastly, tall of the dumb ass doctored videos you try to use to prove your point only make you and WHITE people look like you are still as racist as you were back in the 60's.... Thank you for showing the world Americas problems began and in the future are white people

  • @TexadaArmsted oh wow white people? RACIST RACIST RACIST!!!!!

  • @ChristianWorldOrder2 Dumb Ass that is not RACIST it's the TRUTH....... and it's about time you people OWN UP TO YOUR FUCK UPS IN THE WORLD....... ESPECIALLY IN AMERICAN SOCIETY WHICH WAS BUT ON YOUR PEOPLES RACIST PAST AND PRESENT!!!!

  • @TexadaArmsted CALM... DOWN...

  • The economy is growing huh. Why is the govt trying to stop Boeing from building their new aircraft plant in South Carolina? Big ass govt is going to tell a private sector company where they can operate? Obama single handedly killed the oil production in the gulf coast and as he likes to point out the profits of big oil companies, he does not point out we pay fed taxes at the pump also. Some of the oil profits provide for pensions,Mutual funds, and IRAs. Pointing fingers is what this guy does.

  • Economy is growing? Unemployment back up to 9%. Black men with a job is down to 56.9%, the lowest since 1972. Record number of people on welfare. The housing market getting worse. Real wages are falling: MacDonalds recently added something of 62K jobs, but is that really a big deal? This war on the oil industry is killing the American econ. The idea of 'green jobs' are the future crap is just that-crap. We need a Pres who has a clue of how business work and not some golly gee whiz academic.

  • FOR EIGHT YEARS BUSH HAD TAX CUTS FOR RICH ------ THERE WAS NEGATIVE JOB GROWTH

  • one thing i know is my nearest grocery store is 7 miles from where i live and drug stor and doctor is 7 miles and gas pump is 7 miles and i am not able to walk to get the things i need, also at an extra low fixed ss income, prices of everything is to high for a hand full of us living alone to handle the poverty situation, something should be done all around, for sure.

  • Great job Mr. President Obama!

  • Mr. President, you're full of crap. The economy isn't getting an better, because of you. You're totally AGAINST profits. You just said so. You sure are against producing oil, if you weren't, you'd allow drilling. There ARE NO clean energy jobs. You want to end subsidies to oil companies? fine. Cut subsities to "clean energy" companies, too. That would be fair, and you're all about "fairness", aren't you? Well, aren't you?

  • This is one of those common sense decisions that becomes clouded due to greed. It has been almost a century that our tax money has subsidized the oil industry. At what point does the oil industry, the most profitable industry ever, take off its training wheels? At what point does the industry finally give up its need for welfare?

  • @knowledge742 So now we quit subsidizing oil companies, and subsidize "clean energy" companies? Tell me, what's the difference? A subsidy is a subsidy, and we really can't afford any right now with the mess this President has caused in the last 2 years.

  • Obama you are the best Politician we have had in decades. I don't want solicialism in any form but I do want Obamaism! Which is to have a pragmatic President. Well done.

  • This will never happen the average American is stupid and believe more drilling will drive the price down. Yep we the people are fucked because of the dumb people that will not wake up and realize that the oil company is getting the welfare. They are charging high prices for no good reason.

  • The Bakken fields oil find could yield as much as 2 million barrels a day and raise US production by atleast 20%. But if Obama sends the EPA to mess that up then we are back to driving the price of oil high so that the high price of 'green energy' would look more appealing. This is a Pres who has a "golly- gee whiz -what if we do this" attitude that will not work for out country.

  • 55 people are the owners of oil companies

  • Rassmussen poll has Obama approval rating at only 62%. It is up from what it was, but, that sounds really, really low to me, expecially after he got rid of Bin Laden!! To hear people talk, it sounds like his approval would be around 95%, but I havent talked to everyone, everywhere. Here lately, Obama has done everything right! We just hope he doesnt cave to the radical budget cuts the republicans are wanting, or Obama may as well kiss his second term good bye!!!!

  • Hmmm Obama not telling whole story. Oil companies receive 75% of profits from other countries. Gov takes an avg 40 cents on gallon while exon profits 7 cents. Think gas prices are high now?

  • The rich are still getting richer and the poor are still getting poorer. It is almost time we the people stood up and threaten uprise and overthrow. HOW MUCH MORE ARE YOU PREPARED TO HANDLE? No longer does this nation feel like a land of opportunity. It feels like a nation of oppression, regulation, taxation & greed. The definition of being "Broke" for the working class means no showers, no roofs, dirty clothes and garbage for food, while for CEOs and politicians it means selling the summer home

  • Has anyone noticed that since gas got so high, and then Obama killed Bin Laden, everyone is suddenly a Obama supporter? My family and several of the people I know are Republicans!  Even they are turning into Obama supporters, and want their electric cars and wind power! Just seems funny, that all!

  • @OldTimerGuy58 youre getting it. on the right track...

  • Hell , it's about time. This bastard Osama is dead!

  • You are an IDIOT! The right wing will not stand a CHANCE in 2012.................. OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!!!!!!

  • TAX CUTS FOR RICH ! CUTS FOR POOR !!! IT'S IN GOP BIBLE

  • where's the love button?

  • President Obama, why are you dragging you feet!!!! You know the wealthy are not paying their fair share of the tax burden, so just do it!!!! The republican congress isnt going to pass a bill to add taxes the wealthy!!!! Republicans are in bed with the rich, giving them more money, not take away!!!! For too long the tax burded has been placed on the poor and middle class, so lets tax the rich for a change!!!! Obama needs to do more legislation through executive order, like Bush did!!!!

  • @groundhog2008 Give it time brother, the man is trying to clean up all of Bush's bogus legislation including finishing his wars.

  • You've proven to be a dumb ass by sending me videos that are falsified and also deleted from youtube. When you send me something make sure there are FACTS ATTACHED TO THEM. I urge you to post those links to this page and see if other people with an education (which you clearly don't have) agree with you.

  • Makes sense. Totally agree with you Mr Obama.

  • yea yea yea all bullshit talk till ur re-elected then ur tune will change like u did 4 yrs ago and so many other fuckers like u .... fuck u!!!!!

  • Well Obama said that under his policy energy will skyrocket, so he dont give a damn about all you poor people who have to juggle your finances with the gas price. Oh yea, you all can sit there and wait on them green jobs.

  • KOSOVO IS SERBIA

  • Obama is a good president and an even better man. If you don't like it, get the GOP to get someone worth a damn to run. He is liked in this country by most, he is the president.

  • GO 'BAMA

  • HE DOES LOOK LIKE MICKEY MOUSE. That makes Biden Donald Duck. ROFL.

    Here's how to lower gas prices, Drill and end the $0.38 tax on gas and stop destroying the dollar.

  • He is a great President and here is more evidence of it! It is about time to stop oil and gas subsidies!!!

  • you lie again to your people Obama we all know how to fake photos and if he is really death tell your people to take care because : we are 400 000 000 the new ben ladin

  • Question ? How come no one and I do mean No one is talking about how Brazil broke its dependence to Oil and now uses the Ethanol from Sugar Canes to Produce Gasoline ? Keep in mind Brazil started this in 1975 nearly 40 years ago...go on youtube and look up Brazil and Oil and you will see what they are doing..They have cars thats getting 50 and 60 miles a gallon off sugar cane Ethanol. Sir your doing the best you can with the hand that you were dealt Thank You.....

  • Maybe i was too full of hate against US but i don t like the way of his acting neither i liked Bush or Clinton. Why has US always playing the good cop in the world and our country is walking like a dog behind the US. It makes you re nation not popular among a lot of country s around the globe

  • How about we lift that ban on offshore drilling? THAT would be a nice place to start!

  • A stupid story from one of the most hated man in the world (sure i do) who is president of the most hated medieval nation on this planet. Dumb American people. A good American is a dead one . Hate them.

  • @2hologram We love you too. BIG HUGS to whatever country you are from.  Please do not lump all of us in with Obama. Most of us don't like him either.

  • @ChristianWorldOrder2 President Obama hasnt been caught in any lies!! I dont thing that even Fox news has any real evidence that he even stretches the truth!! Obama, when he is in front of a microphone, tells it like it is!!!! That is part of the reason he uses a teleprompter, so that he will speak accurately, and have everything that he says as documentation!!!! Obama isnt perfect, but is the best president in my lifetime!!!! I urge everyone to wake and vote him in for 4 more years!!!!

  • @groundhog2008 LOL!!!! good luck with your freedom buddy

  • @ChristianWorldOrder2 - Let me get this right.. You have the knowledge to know who is going to hell before they are judged by God. You know who the so called NWO is going to put in concentration camps but all you can do is say "wake up" and get ready. You aren't offering any solutions. Everything you say to be true can only be backed up by some conspiracy theory video that supports your agenda. Give us documented facts, not psycho bull put out there for sheep like you.

  • @SEXISTHEPARTY - Thanks for the positive feedback. I love your name too!!! It made me laugh.

  • Hey Mr Pres, the high price at the pump hurt the poor the most. So if you cant do something about the rising prices, we will vote for someone who can. Here is one hint---drill our own damn oil.

  • @joskemom No, we need to start powering things with clean, renewable energy!!!! President is on the right track!!!! I have seen well drilling sites, and it destroys the environment, killing any wild life within miles of the drill site!!!! A big oil company spent billions exploring for oil in Alaska, and wanted to drill less than 70 miles from a town!!!! It was dumb of them to do that!!!! They should know that would never pass environmental standards!!!! No, clean energy is the only way!!!

  • @groundhog2008 Hey groundhog, we have spoken before, I know how you think. Hey, this cheerleading raw, raw raw crap for renewable energy is nice but lets be grownups. Oil is not evil and big deal you want to drill 70 miles from a town, since when did we turn into a bunch of sissys? Windmills and sunlight is not going to power the economy. We have enough oil to power this economy for the next 100 years and it will pay down our debt.

  • @joskemom Wind, solar, and battery power will make this country strong again!! When I go to countries over in Europe, that is all I see, all sorts of alternative energy vehicles, and non polluting ways of generating electricity!!!! All I see here in America is pollution, caused by the backward thinking republicans ideas on just doing more of the same!! I wish people would see that Obama and other great Democrats want America to progress, and Obama seems to be the only President who can do that!

  • @groundhog2008 yea progress into socialism

  • @menetjunky and socialism at this point would be a bad thing? The only reason it didn't work for Germany is because it was fueled by Hitler's Genocidal Conquest. Socialism isn't bad, HITLER was bad. Socialism put money back in the hands of the poor. Who here has actually researched Germany's economy post WWI? Those people needed wheel barrows of money just to buy a loaf of bread. But hitler was such a fucktard that now people associate socialism with genocide.

  • @warlord6six6 i am so angered by your reply. this is america, for fucks sake - make it a socialist nation and guess what its not anymore? america! are you willing to give up your constitutional rights for a monthly check and government cheese? do you realize what happens when a government has that kind of control? slavery. please research this. hitler was funded by very powerful and wealthy folks who had NO PROBLEM with his "genocidal conquest," just the attention he brought to it.

  • @warlord6six6 let me go onto say that no, ive not researched germany's economy after WWII, but i have researched its economy before it, as the country and National Socialists gavlanized their forces for total social control. it just happens to be exactly what is happening in the US, now. also, i know what happened in America and Argentina after the war. they undergrounded high-ranking nazis into all facets of science, technology, and government due to their "expertise."

  • @menetjunky I did not mispell in my comment. when I said after WWI I meant WW1 not 2. Socialism, Communism, Monarchy are all economic structures. This has no bearing on our Rights. Our Democracy or Republic or whatever, already has a government cheese program called welfare. Slavery already exists as corporations profit to a ratio of 347:1 against the American Laborer. Go find someone who makes minimum wage and see what they have. The same slaves had, bare necessities, no luxuries. . . SLAVERY!

  • @warlord6six6 oh, i see. well, that being the case i think it helps to prove my point - force ppl into a state of desperation and most will take whatever handouts the government gives, to the point of allowing atrocities like we saw in WWII. on all other points you made i do not disagree with you-please realize that its the same guys creating the depression as will "save" us from it.. The Fed, Bush, Obama-all the same team. comeon its the oldest trick in the book. dont believe this propaganda.

  • @menetjunky Unfortunately, I disagree with you, for we can only "save" ourselves. "Change" was the campaign slogan President Obama used in 2008. What no one realized is that change starts with you and me my friend. You and me. Not him, not congress, not the Supreme Court. The time for us to consider our course of action may be coming sooner than we think. Citizens everywhere may find themselves storming the doors of every capitol building across the nation. To first make peaceful demand . . .

  • @warlord6six6 i completely agree with your comment here. the only place we may differ is that i think the time to storm the doors has come and gone while the people were worshipping their TVs. its not a political issue. it is a right/wrong issue.

  • @menetjunky you may be right but, I will always have one front I can secure, my home. Regardless of laws in Illinois, I walk through my house armed. If the police step in without a warrant, they get drawn on. They draw back but, it is my house and state law was not written to disarm me there, unless they have a warrant. If they have a warrant, no problem. No warrant, their problem...my gun. And if ever they come to disarm me, they will carry my corpse and the corpse of at least one officer.

  • @warlord6six6 yes, and in my views it will probably come to that warlord666.. Bless you and your family in these days Jesus saves!

  • @menetjunky it's an old name :) while I have not found church, I have found God and rather than conform, I live in the way God would want me to. Defend the weak, feed the hungry, clothe the cold, love thy neighbor and their flaws and have no regrets for loving who God made me to be.

  • @warlord6six6 well done! as a fellow believer, let me encourage you really get into the Bible, if for no other reason than it is the most influential (and subversive) piece of literature in Western history. i read everything i can get my hands on to supplement my reading of the Word, b/c i like to challenge and intellectualize everything. my understandings have brought me, kicking and screaming mostly, to the understanding of Jesus as my Lord and Savior. may it bring you peace - Thank you Jesus!

  • @warlord6six6 well done! as a fellow believer, let me encourage you really get into the Bible, if for no other reason than it is the most influential (and subversive) piece of literature in Western history. i read everything i can get my hands on to supplement my reading of the Word, b/c i like to challenge and intellectualize everything. my understandings have brought me, kicking and screaming mostly, to the understanding of Jesus as my Lord and Savior. may it bring you peace -Thank you Lord!

  • @menetjunky and then, if necessary ( and I would hope not ) by force. In re; to your comments about the underground, I'm curious to know which aspect of underground. The Gestapo? (CIA/FBI) These organizations perform many underground operations all the time. Whether it be international or domestic affair. They may be reading this right now, prepared to question my intentions but, I don't care. I fear nothing, not even death. It is only then, that you have the balls to stand firm.

  • @warlord6six6 and are you going to address my point re the national socialist underground? i think thats important to note.

  • @warlord6six6 I agree with your comment!! Socialism would have worked, but Hitler was indeed distracted by other things!! I have been to socialist countries, and the people there are very content with their system of government!! I truely believe that it would work here if we would just give it a chance!!!! American voters need to take ans stand and keep the GOP out of all offices in 2012!!!! Obama -- 2012!!!!

  • @groundhog2008 Hitler's bloodlust for the jews is not something I would ever champion. Socialism on the other hand, is something I feel that can be implemented without sacrificing our Constitution or our Rights. Those two documents ensure our way of living as individuals and have very little to do with economics. They allow us to vote for our leaders, arm ourselves, publish news without approval of the government, attend the church we want to. Now what do those aspects have to do with economics?

  • @warlord6six6 sigh. this is impossible. our constitutions already been sacrificed. we've been in a national state of emergency since 9/11/01. do you understand that your having rights runs counter to the agenda of those controlling the money supply? have you noticed we are not referred to as citizens, but "consumers" anymore? you may "feel" socialism can be implemented without sacrificing our rights, but that doesnt make it true.

  • @menetjunky I have noticed this and With Governer Quinn threatening to veto Carry conceal permits in Illinois, this is a sign that they are trying to disarm us. Why? The Bush administration smiled as they made key breaks in the building blocks of our way of living. We must undo what has been done. Two things I can think of are, A. REPEAL OBAMACARE and B. DISBAN the DEPT. of HOMELAND SECURITY and other agencies like CHILDREN FAMILY SERVICES.

  • @warlord6six6 i could not agree more. dont forget EVERYTHING having to do with the so-called patriot act. more like the traitor act. theres a petition to repeal it on the web i dont know the address but im sure its not hard to find. plz allow me to encourage u2 look a little farther into the concepts and people originally behind the socialist movement; according to all your other views i dont think you would be so quick to get behind it. theres a fine line between communism,socialism, & so on..

  • @warlord6six6 i recommend a book by Jim Marrs entitled "rise of the fouth reich" -- inflammatory title, i agree, but very little opinion and 99% sources, names, and facts are to be found in this book. all verifiable. if that doesnt make you hold on to your guns, nothing will lol disarming us is the next step.. youre right to question these things.. the conclusions you draw are your own. God bless America!

  • your idealism is admirable, and i dont want to burst your bubble, but not everyone feels that way, and by "not everyone" i mean the greedy men behind the curtain of this so-called government. educate yourself.

  • @groundhog2008 this isnt right. remember "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" do you really want your government controlling the water and food supply? theres only one outcome there. use your heads.

  • @groundhog2008 When you went to Spain, did you notice they almost went bankrupt on theri green agenda? Did you notice in England that the windmills were worthless during their bad winter? I have no problem with alternative energy, I have no problem with oil.

  • @joskemom I did not go to Spain, but do know that windmills still turn, and they do produce electricity in most areas during inclement. Some areas where there is inconsistant winds, coupled with lots of snow, yes, the vanes did get laden down with snow and ice! But, for the most part electricity was produced year round. President Obama is on the right track, unlike the backward thinking of the Republicans!! Obama is showing himself to be the best leader American could have right now!!!!

  • @groundhog2008 You are not going to power a nation on windmills, this is not the 6th century. Holland. dont even use windmills. It is nice to have a couple, you know, some to offset a cost, but it is not the future. You are not going to power a nation on solar panels, get real. Solyndra, a solar panel maker won federal funds of $535 million. Well those funds were wasted because the company will now close an old factory and will layoff 40 people and not renew 150 temp workers--yea, green jobs.

  • Bin Laden destroys WORLD TRADE CENTER on Goerge Bushes watch : (

    Bin Laden gets killed on Barrack Obama's watch : )

  • @nevawrong OBAMA IS A FUCKING GENIUS!

    Haters can go join al qaeda and hang out with their buddies, OBAMA WILL BE BUSY KILLING THE BAD GUYS AND GIVING FREEDOM BACK TO AMERICA!!!

    USA! OBAMA! USA! OBAMA! FUCK THE HATERS, FUCK THEM ALL TO HELL!!!

    GOD BLESS THIS MAN! AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, WHOOPTI DOO, YOU AIN'T SHIT NEXT TO HIM!

  • @nevawrong Barrack found and killed bin laden using the info that was gathered by the system that Pres Bush put in place. Information gotten by waterboarding was used to track down Laden. Obama can thank Bush for doing the dirty work at Gitmo and he can thank Bush for taking the nukes weapon program from Kadafy, and he can thank Bush that he does not have to deal with Saddam.

  • @joskemom

    so what can we thank Obama for in this mission accomplish that just happened ????

  • @nevawrong We can thank Obama for giving the go ahead after he thought about it for 16 hours when everyone else was ready to go. What the hell took him so long to give the go ahead?

  • I love it!

  • Dear Congress,

    We the people are facing family memebers loosing homes while you have yours. Teachers are doing something beneficial to the world but they make way less than you. The working class (middle class) are getting taxed to pay for the well being of the country while gas companies which are making billions of dollar this year aren't taxed as much as the class. Could you please give we the working class a reason why this action has been taken?

  • Hell yeah! Stop giving TAX PAYER money to oil companies. They don't need it! What the hell do they need it for? It's so stupid. Good job Mr. President! I hope congress listens to you.

  • Don't play B. Obama...We all know they went after JFK...Bring these araban lovi'n scumbags down!

  • Thank you Mr. President for being a "true" leader and uniter.

  • President Obama: In a poll conducted recently, most Americans believe our future is in high tech batteries, wind, and solar power!!!! Let get er done!!!! If you will push this through for America, starting now, it will absolutely assure Obama is re-elected!!!!

  • Ok, we are ending tax subsidies to oil companies, which will save money had help reduce the deficit!! Why do we need to even consider the economy killing budget bill that the republicans are wanting?? Republicans = Irresponsibility!!!!

  • IF u havent seen it YET search SNAPSHOT BOYS - SMOOTH I GUARANTEE u will LOOOVE IT.. if im lyin then FAT MEAT CANT BE GREASY !!!!

  • what does POTUS stand for, please?

  • @menetjunky President of the United States

  • whos flag is that in the back with the american? does the u.s. seal now have a flag? does anyone else think it looks familiar? ive seen that eagle somewhere before..

  • Comment removed

  • @menetjunky That is the POTUS flag.

  • I saw this on the what's trending youtube page. Why do we continue to pay so much for stupid oil companies?!

  • @WellGroomedNerd It is a republican thing!! Repubs always give huge amounts of money to the wealthiest of companies, hoping that some of it will trickle down to the middle class and poor!!!! But....it never does work that way!! President Obama is doing it right!!!!

  • He does relize the so called Subsidies he speaks of are tax breaks afforded to all American businesses, who by the way pay the highest corprate tax rates the world over. All he will do by this is increase the cost of gas and make us more dependant on foriegn oil as he pushes the pipe dream of wind and solar power, neither of which are reliable or as green as they may seem. Look up the huge ecological disaster that is Neodynioum processing for windmill magnets in China.

  • @GodOfPlague And didn't the US just give 2 billion to a Brazillian oil company which is an actual subsidy/gift.

    The road to hell is paved with politicians.

  • @GodOfPlague

    "who by the way pay the highest corprate tax rates the world over."

    Couldn't be more wrong.

  • $50 or $60 dollars to fill up thier tanks! what are they whining about?!?!?!?! I just spent $98 dollars to fill up my MINIVAN.

    but i totally agree stop giving tax payer money to ridiculously profitable companies.. thats like giving tax breaks to rich people!.. oh wait...

  • @smertler Vote for a republican and that is exactly what they do, give tax breaks to huge corporations!!!! All poor and middle class needs to realize that they are better off voting for Democrat leaders!!!!

  • @groundhog2008

    How about throw all the bums out

    fuck republicans and democrats

    and nobama aka obama is a CFR Member, wake the hell up!

  • :30-1:10 So...basically what he is saying...is...the skyrocketing prices of gas is a good thing? Sure seems like it. What is this bullshit?

  • we pay twice that for gas in Brazil... and we produce more oil than we use it.

  • Great cut their funding provided by the government, all they will do is jack up the prices even more to cover it. You went from us paying too much, to us paying even more. Nothing is going to help oil prices other then you stepping in and DOING something about it here and now.

  • JFK was murder by the reason of ending the subsidies for oil and gas companies. The investement in a great and new structure of national security are more than ever the future for the growth and developpement.

  • We get Jeff Immett as the jobs czar. The ex CEO of GE who caused GE stock to drop 60% during his reign because they invested in green energy. Then taxpayers were once again forced to bail GE out with big tax breaks while they move their production of "green energy light bulbs" from Virginia to Mexico.

  • At 1:55 he said that there was a high level of oil in 2003 which is when they invaded iraq

  • This isn't about taxes - it is about ending subsidies for established industries. This is just the payback from the legislators for getting them elected. The number at the pump won't even be perceptible. It would be great to have hydrogen receive the subsidies so that can become better established, but Dr. Stephen Chu has no clue.

  • @coolerearth

    A subsidy is a waiver to not pay taxes, or is a direct payment from the governemnt (who gets all their money from gasp... taxes) so it is without a doubt about taxes.

    The "payback from the legislators for getting them elected" is most likely why the subsidy is there in the first place, so if that's what you are saying you are correct.

    Bottom line though is take away the subsidy now, higher gas, and almost everything else, for you and me. Taxes get passed to the end user, always.

  • @coolerearth I would buy a Hydrogen car if they were affordable and you could fill up anywhere. Maybe they could do a cash for clunkers type deal on a trade in of a gas vehicle foe a hydrogen one. Plenty of fuel no emissions and the middle east can suck it. So why not.

  • @TheGrandpaParadox Some cannot recognize greatness, which is why they will never achieve it.

  • This president is not as detached from the average man as have been prior presidents. He has the ability to truly understand our struggles. He is truly a man OF the people AND FOR the people. (The last president was only for himself-and so far removed with his vast family oil wealth) Obama is logical, analytical, thorough, and will not be dissuaded from doing what is necessary, regardless of big money and special interests. Very comforting to have an altruistic man at the helm.

  • It's weird to think he knew about, and had already authorised, the Osama operation when he made this.

  • @MikeCLG Of course, it took many months of strategy planning before implementation. Only fools rush in. He can't talk about covert operations. duh...........

  • We need to leave fossil fuels behind. Liquid Fluoride Thorium nuclear reactors are the energy of the future. No risk of meltdown. Thorium is more common than tin. Cannot be refined into nuclear weapons. Uses up to 99% of the energy in the fuel compared to 3% for uranium. After 300 years the radiation is nearly all gone, compared to conventional nuclear reactors where the radiation lasts thousands of years.

    Best of all, the technology is already here. Check out energyfromthorium (dot) com

  • @GoodTunesFtw I liked when he emphasized that we need to keep all options open, but to direct focus to clean energy. Unfortunately, we can never be completely free of fossil fuels--many methods of creating 'clean' energy utilizes fossil fuels in the process, but at lesser amounts. 'Clean' energy will not completely eliminate the need for fossil fuel, so we will always need some supply.

  • If the biggest corporations in America were made to pay US taxes we wouldn't have to have any budget cuts. 2/3rds of the biggest corporations pay NO tax and ship their profits to offshore accounts. Wake up, America! Big oil will continue to raise prices on oil because we passed "peak oil" in 2001. Oil can only become more scarce and prices will on average always continue to rise. We have the capability of deriving all our energy needs for other sources. Why not do it ?B-cuz of oil lobbyists.

  • @freeseattle Corporations should never have to pay taxes. Any taxes paid are passed onto the consumer as factored into the price of the good or service.

  • @madhatter0110 Product pricing is mostly determined by the highest price the market will bear. More to do with greed and demographics than tax obligations. Go to your community college and take a class in finance or economics, rather than making ignorant statements.

  • @madhatter0110 Do not attack Obama because you are ignorant of the plethora of tax shelters that already protect the miserly super-wealthy (who don't spend money helping consumers other than their own shopping habits), and the environmentally destructive corporations. ALL must pay their fair share of taxes. For the wealthy individuals and the corporations to pay the same taxes as we all do, will not make them poor. ALL must pay their fair share. I don't want to pay their share too.

  • @madhatter0110 Big corps make use of the benefits of federal government spending of our tax dollars. They drive on the roads, they are protected by firefighters & police, their kids go to schools, they get these benefits without of government funding without paying in a share & now we are getting budget cuts on all these essential services because there's not enough money from taxes. We pay & they don't. They get rich and we get poor. Why should they get a free ride & get bailed out by us?

  • @freeseattle Because unlike the poor, the "rich" make better decisions with the money they lawfully earned and worked hard for. The taxpayers ended up netting a profit due to positive returns from the bailouts. It is the rich, not the government, that provides jobs and who would be forced to pass on tax increases to the consumer.

  • @madhatter0110 If these big corps made such good decisions why did us taxpayers have to bail them out? Example: Bank of America made $4.4 billion in profit & received $2.3 billion from taxpayers in 2009 & paid no tax & got $45 billion in taxpayer bailouts in the prior 2-year period. On top of that they got a $1.9 billion "tax benefit" that came from your tax money that could have gone to public services, schools, etc. And they raised, not lowered, their interest and penalty rates.

  • @freeseattle You are shortsighted to focus your entire argument on one corporation. If they did raise interest and penalty rates and you aren't happy with that then the simple thing to do is take your business elsewhere instead of whining about how evil you think corporations are.

  • @madhatter0110 See where I said "Example"? That means I am citing an example, not focusing on one corporation. The corporations that don't pay taxes are similar to Bank of Amer in that regard. Why would any American taxpayer have to pay corp taxes for them? That is exactly what is going on. And you call it whining when people stand up & speak out when they see a problem. How very shortsighted of you! Corporate greed is running this country & perpetuating war for profit, & we flip the bill.

  • @freeseattle Your rant on "corporate greed" is comparable to a dog that barks at the stick instead of the person who threw it. In other words, your anger is grossly misdirected. Have you heard of the Federal Reserve? Are you aware the US dollar is backed by nothing and trillions are being printed out of thin air to offset whatever cannot be borrowed from China?

    "Give me control of a nation's money supply and I care not who makes her laws."

  • @madhatter0110 Yes I am aware that the dollar is worthless, thanks to Fed Res. You won't change your view & I won't change mine. I own a small business. I pay taxes. My taxes pay for essential public services. The budget for such services is being cut because corps that operate in this country & do not pay taxes are getting a free ride. They make their profits & ship it offshore. You say that's all okay. I say it is NOT. I have work to do now & time won't allow me to respond to you anymore. Bye!

  • @freeseattle You actually believe your taxes go to essential public services? Boy do you ever have a lot to learn.  The taxes collected at the federal level barely pay the interest on all the borrowing from the Federal Reserve. Regardless of where tax dollars go, corporations should never pay any taxes because ultimately the consumer pays them in the form of price increases for their goods and services.

  • @madhatter0110 Of course my taxes don't pay for public services. They cut funding to public services because there's not enough tax money coming in. Meanwhile big corps make huge profits & the money goes offshore while they get to use the services they don't pay for.

  • @madhatter0110 Okay, one more thing before I quit this conversation with you. Let me ask how you can defend corps that don't pay taxes and condemn the Fed Reserve at the same time? The two work together. The Fed Res fake money goes directly to banks as "loans". The banks get to loan ten times as much unbacked money as they get from the Fed. The system is ultimately unsustainable & corrupt & has been screwing Americans since 1913. Now I'm signing out of this conversation for good. Bye!

  • @freeseattle Typical response to those who can't handle being called out and confronted with the truth. The Federal Reserve is no more federal than Federal Express and corporations are in no way to be generalized as "evil" let alone because Congress relinquished their Constitutional authority to coin money.

  • @madhatter0110 The truth is big money interests pulled off 9/11 to ensure perpetual war against a contrived enemy ("terror") so big corporations that don't contribute squat to the good of this country and profit from all sides in war can continue to siphon money out of the country & enforce their rule by buying puppet politicians that are more than willing to turn the country into a police state with legislation like the Patriot Act, et al. You won't hear that from your propaganda machine.

  • @madhatter0110 Your "Typical response to those who can't handle being called out and confronted with the truth." statement is a typical response from those who try to elicit response at an emotional level rather than a logical one. It's like picking a fight & it's BS. One more time: Corporations that reap all the benefits of doing business in this country without contributing to its economy and shipping huge profits offshore are getting a free ride at our expense & it is not sustainable.

  • @freeseattle To eliminate taxes on corporations so consumers don't end up paying for it through price increases is as logical as it can possibly get. Your rant on "corporate greed" out of misdirected anger is fueled by emotion, not my objective statements.

  • @madhatter0110 So by paying our taxes to support funding of schools, police, fire depts, healthcare, etc., that as you say, is insufficient to cover such items, we are keeping prices down by paying the tax that corporations don't pay. We pay their share either way. Funding is being cut for these services bcuz taxes aren't sufficient. Big corporations are making enormous profits & benefit from a system they don't support. This is just plain theft! & we end up paying while getting budget cuts.

  • @madhatter0110 I'd rather be presented with higher prices for the crap objects of entertainment corps try to sell us, than to pay their taxes for them. It would make me think twice about wasting my money on their worthless crap. I said my piece over and over and so have you. I have nothing to add and neither do you as evidenced by our mutual repetitions. There is no point in carrying this conversation any further. Others can make up their own minds. Nice chatting with you!

  • @madhatter0110 Proportional tax on profits in this country would be much more acceptable & fair. But the big corporations have enough money to make the laws that allow them to avoid paying taxes. Does that sound like a fair system? Seems more people want fairness in taxation than a free ride for the rich. All except the rich, that is. Too bad they have all the power, having placated and subdued the brainwashed sheep that judge their well-being by the amount of worthless corporate crap they buy.

  • @madhatter0110 No matter how you look at it big oil & big money get richer while the the class differential increases. Ultimately, as shown historically, this leads to revolution, so yeah! let's just let them rape us until we can't take any more, then your holy corporations will get the shaft instead of people that just want to live their lives in peace. The technology to allow all the world to live in peace & comfort does exist but there's too much profit in fear & war. So greed still prevails.
