[itchyundies]

the usa president should knowadays just be called spokesperson for all these greedy cunts that rape us

[wolowskit]

Obama is such a deadly and smart dude. When you guys are done with him. Your ready to vote in a clown(Bush) again. Send Obama to Canada. We'll put him to work. We all ready have health care. I want these deadly new technology jobs you talk about.

[Seikisho]

I like Obama. It's not easy for a president to own up mistakes on air.

[Foxy300ZX]

2:09

how is not paying your taxes anywhere near an honest mistake???

pay your fucking taxes. I would get hell is i didnt pay my homeowners tax or federal tax.

[twizzydadog]

it takes a real man to admit he has messed up... OBAMA FOR REAL

[SeanBB1993]

Barack Obama is going to cause the second grate depression.

[ThomasDaschle]

Yes, he messed up, he messed up by not picking me as the HHS Secretary. People would have bowed before my

healthcare plan. I modeled it after Cubas healthcare system, You all get free healthcare, we take all your property and possessions, and civil rights. It was fantastically groundbreaking. I really think people would have enjoyed it.

[PeterTheOstrich]

Now what the fuck son?

[MaiyaRemora]

well, at least he's not above stating the OBVIOUS. And i APPLAUD the media for putting him throught the SAME CRAP they put Bush through the last 8 years. Here here, Media! Drill him. Its only fair

[thunder8157]

hahahahha wanda lmfao, obama messed up spread the word =]

[Wanda4DecentValues]

I hate liberals. No liberal man shall ever smell my sex.

[624787John]

I think maybe this Wanda lady is really someone made up top make Christians look and sound bad. Christian women don't talk like that. If you have any respect for THE LORD please stop now. this isnt right. Thank you.

[ReasonsItrust]

Holy screw up Batman, BHO'S 5th screw up just bit the dust...lets see thats 1 Federal Play for play, 3 tax cheats, and a partridge that would not drink the koolaid...can't wait to see what the 6th day of "Christmas" brings!

[AbuGrabIt]

We shouldnt be distorting our tax code to benefit a few powerful interests, Obama said at the Tax Policy Center, run by the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution. We should be insisting that everyone pays their fair share, and when Im president, they will. September 19, 2007

."Change you can believe in."..Timothy Geithner..$34,000 unpaid taxes, Tom Daschle..$128,000 unpaid taxes..Nancy Killefer..$946.69..unpaid taxes..Bill Richardson..exchanges contracts for finance campaigning.

[lthom33]

Geither's taxes were gaffes which reportedly is common among Americans who work @ other international organizations such as foreign embassies. I find it disturbing that the Republicans who hate paying taxes were upset that Daschle didn't pay his. For a party who run their campaigns on love of country & family (full of scandals & corruptions) they don't like paying taxes for the up-keep & maintenance of the country. Again - they're hypocrites of the highest order.

[AbuGrabIt]

Oops...I screwed up again...lalalalala...

Senator Gregg Statement on His Withdrawal for Consideration of U.S. Commerce Secretary

However, it has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the Census there are irresolvable conflicts for me." Boo hoo, it's just a mistake...boohoo.

Tax Cheats for BO 2012

[JohnnyPyro66]

If America wants to fix the economy, the government needs to end a costly war in the middle east. Thats step one.

Step two would be a massive tax cut.

Step three would be to wait .

[Turan123]

1st, the iraqy war wasn't no1s choice, if you have 2 make it some1's fault, it would be GWB's father, he shouldn't get in Saddam's biz anyway. GWB had to clean up the mess, because US can show no weakness in front of ppl like Laden lot, or there will be attack all the time. Second, US should let those ivst banks die on, or they would keep giving money to those who can't pay off. 3rd, US should really start investing more in technology and revive the manufacture.

[lthom33]

I disagree. Clinton destroyed any stockpiles Hussein may have had. There were no WMD -as we all know it was a lie. Laden said that America's economy would be destroyed & he was right - he sat back & Bush destroyed our economy. Bush hasn't kept us safe. We've upped our security @ airports etc. but our ports are still vulnerable. Hate bailing out WS & CEOs but that's what we have -thank Bush.

[RINGO4LIFE]

The "New World Order" is being established right before our eye's. There removing certain people and replacing them with more corrupt people.

Don't buy the lie of about these people stepping down. They were force to step down or face the wrath of the NWO.

Both DemoBRATS and RepubliCONS are controlled by the same puppet Masters.

[lthom33]

The Bush admin were all oilmen who lied to the American people & the UN for reasons of war to force democracy on a country for easy access to their oil. We sat back & allowed them to kill 2M innocent people..displace 4M..Place our troops in harms way. They stripped us of our rights & freedoms, defecated on our Constitution and WE DID NOTHING. If you call placing the country in national security turmoil & tanking our economy "Old World Order" you're not in reality.

[llirrem]

if you call removing a leader who would torture and murder innocent people forcing democracy then you are a fool. and our troops have NOT killed millions of innocents, sure some civilians have been killed, but this is war civilian casualties is inevitable, and you kind of have to put our troops in harms way in war, no war was fought with imaginary guns.

[llirrem]

if our rights and freedoms have been stripped away then why are everyone allowed to still do the EXACT same things that we have been doing for the past 200 years? and as for the economy, that didnt really happen until congress, the people who REALLY control the country, became almost full of democrats.

[lthom33]

Do you know what illegal wiretapping means? Have you read the Bush Doctrines? Know that you can be taken from your bed@ night & imprisoned, tortured, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can't call an attorney & our gov can hold you for as long as they want. No Due Process! You're stupid..a stupid damn Republican who knows shit all about anything. Go away.

[lthom33]

And Bush hasn't tortured and murdered innocent people? What of Gitmo? What of the slaughter of 2M innocent Iraqis (86-94,000 by violence) who neither threatened us or attacked us? The reason the journalist threw his shoes @ Bush is because he's a causality counter! War?We are occupiers not liberators. We are bullies to the world & deserve everything we get for what we've done to those poor people.

[llirrem]

you call terrorists innocent people? do you hail bin laden or sadam?

[lthom33]

There were no terrorists in Iraq until Bush made them. The reason why Laden attacked us on 9/11 is because of our failed policies in Israel. The only reason why we support them is because they're the only democracy but they've broken resolution after resolution and we have done nothing! Now look at the mess over there. Hussein had no weapons & Bush knew it. Clinton destroyed what stockpiles he had. You're government is corrupt. Deal with it.

[llirrem]

...so your saying it's ok to kill thousands of INNOCENTS (not terrorists) in one straight shot but not ok to defend ourselves from future attacks by taking out the bastards who are threatening us? why dont you say that to the thousands of families who had to deal with deaths on 9/11. those people didnt do anything, they were just going about their daily lives in a safe environment when the terrorists attacked. these assholes dont want us to just leave them alone, they want us to DIE!

[lthom33]

llirrem: Iraq never threatened us nor did they have WMD. You are justifying the deaths of nearly 2M innocent people because of the uncertainty they may someday acquire weapons? Bush just lied. We've opened the doors to other countries to kill their neighbors because they THINK they may attack them. The Iraqis were not involved with 9/11 - 15 were Saudis. Saudis attack us and we killed Iraqis. Laden was responsible for 9/11 & that's who I blame.

[llirrem]

you JUST said that it was america who was to blame and now its bin laden? start getting your words straight. and besides i already said that we have saved more lives by going to iraq then we would if we had stayed away. or are you saying you think sadam was a good guy? and it sounded to me that YOU were justifying all the deaths of those on 9/11. and we didnt open any doors, those doors were already open, we just walked through them.

[lthom33]

If you can't understand simple posts then why respond? We declared war against an innocent country when we should have been in Afghanistan hunting down Bin Laden. What part of that do you not understand? Save lives? We had no troubles in Iraq until Bush invaded it and killed 2M civilians. That's how terrorists are made-kill a member of their family. Hussein killed a lot of people w/OUR WEAPONS but Bush did the same thing. NO Bush threw a rock in a hornet's nest! B objective!!

[llirrem]

yeah, WE had no trouble but what about THEM?

[mattussr]

+1

premptive war is a tool of tyrannical dictatorship, not a Republic.

[lthom33]

mattussr: So true & it's also against the Geneva Convention. We are no longer the "police" of the world but the bullies. Also it was a Rep Congress & they handed over their authority to Bush to wage war against Iraq which is against our Constitution. The Constitution is our law! The Bush Regime needs to be in prison.

[mattussr]

and every place we go in the name of "peace" we never really do nothing but stir up a hornets nest. and after we get done killing we set up a base. we might liberate a country from an oppressor, but then we get entangled in their politics and problems and become the tyrant. the founders warned us against this. we have completely ignored their wisdom and now we are going to pay for it.

people say what was written over 200 years before doesnt matter today? that couldnt be farther from the truth.

[lthom33]

mattussr: What you said is true. We're occupiers not "liberators." Don't be fooled by the Republicans. The surge failed because the Iraqis were suppose to form their own government & write their legislation -this never happened. Today 4 US soldiers were killed in Iraq so the killing starts back again. For what? When we leave the mess we created, Iran will pull a genocide. They've wanted Iraq for a long time.

[mongoose63124]

we havent taken a drop of iraq's oil, i hope you're a college kid who has some growing up to do, if not get the fuck out of the U.S.

[llirrem]

AMEN TO THAT!

[lthom33]

How do you know what we've taken? Have you heard of Haliburton or Blackwater? No I can tell you have not.

And, don't tell me to get out of the country. I pay taxes and will say what the hell I want about Bush Inc. People are losing their jobs & their homes because of Bush. People have died because of Bush and for what!!??

[mongoose63124]

you can say what you want, but the way you paint your country sounds like you hate it. Im sure there of plently of other places where you could be happier. Bush hasnt taken anyone's home. Dont forget that no matter how bad wirehouses and banks have it, its ultimately due to people buying houses and then not being able to pay their mortgages, not George Bush. Dont embarrass yourself.....

[lthom33]

There is a difference between loving one's country & an elected gov -2 different entities. You can also support our troops while not supporting the policies that sent them to war. Early on Bush made 2 destabilizing decisions: the Iraq war & the 2001-2003 tax cuts ($500B) Fiscal policy interacted w/the swaps market to put a mountain of bad credit on the balance sheets of financial institutions that are partially backed by the U.S. government. This lead to the mess we're in right now.

[lthom33]

It's easy for you to blame hard-working Americans receiving loans they can't pay back but why did the banks loan them the money if that were the case? They run credits & check salaries. People are losing their homes & jobs because of Bush - no matter what you say. ALL of this has happened on his watch. I knew he would tank the country when I researched his background. I was right.

[mattussr]

shouldnt you blam the person who took a loan he knew he could not pay?

we used to believe in personal responsibility in this country.

im not defending the banks, but stupid people will make stupid mistakes.

the banks are con artists. if your fool enough to fall for it then so be it.

America has a problem of spending money it doesnt have because they need instant gratification.

Bush was an asshole and Obama is following in his footsteps.

[lthom33]

Why blame someone who is approved for a loan he thinks he can pay? I don't think hard working Americans walk into the bank thinking they are going to invest their money into a home they're going to lose do you? I agree w/you that Americans have a spending problem but they don't spend it to lose it. The economy sank & the lost their asses. People are committing suicide because of this, so have some empathy. Obama will never follow Bush's steps..too small & corrupt.

[mattussr]

i didnt say i dont feel bad for those who those their home, it is the worst thing that can happen to a family.

but just because you are approve for a loan doesnt mean you should get one.

instead of blaming one side or another, peple smple need to be educated. knowledge is power.

if people understand what the deal is, they will have nobody to blame but themselves.

many people just sign on the dotted line and do not really know what they are doing. this is their fault as much as the banker.

[lthom33]

The housing market was a fake one but banks continued to give out these loans. Homes worth $200K were being sold for $300k. It's that $100K we have inherited from Bush to pay. That's makes us a "Socialist" country now. Reps talk about Obama when it was Bush who has done this. My neighbor is a FBI agent & purchased his home for $170K over what it was worth. He's not stupid by any means. The economy was tanked -

[mattussr]

i greatly disapprove of Bush's regime. there is not doubt about that.

but do you really think Obama will help he country?

[lthom33]

mattussr: yes! Obama couldn't possibly do a worse job than Bush. It's going to take a lot of hard work & economic planning to repair the great damage of the Bush admin which had no regard for us & the economy. He drove up the deficit & we're left to pay for it (our children & grandchildren as well). Rep Congress sat back & did nothing! So far he's making sound decisions.

[mattussr]

well i hope your right, but i have no faith in Obama to do anything good for our country.

i would gladly be proven wrong however.

[lthom33]

Based on what? Economist are stating publicly he's doing all the right things. Reps are holding out the Bill because they want tax cuts for the wealthy which only benefits them & hurts the economy even more. I think most intelligent people will agree anyone is better than Bush or McSame. He's 1 of the wealthy in the Senate who wants tax cuts but the good news is he's not going to get it!

[Turan123]

Good. Great. Glad you libs know the difference. So, when jo gonna start to change the belief of the change that you were supposed to believe in?

[lthom33]

What are you talking about?

[Turan123]

Change man! I'm talkin' 'bout change! Change! Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange! Change that you can believe in!

[AbuGrabIt]

Dude your out of touch! The Dems were the majority and in charge of both banking committees. They let Fannie and Freddie be corrupt. The Reps. held hearing but Dems controlled it as the majority.

The Pelosi and Dems created bailout that takes billions from middle class and give is to the rich corporations and the poor who bought houses they can't afford. Now, that's crap you can believe in.

[lthom33]

The Deregulation Bill passed in '99 & since that time there's been no government overseeing the financial industry. So how in the hell is it the Democrats fault? Reps (I mean "K Street") have controlled Congress from '94 to 2007. They should have been up on things since they were controlling it -they're hardly blameless! Dems give rich corps money? Are you insane??!!

[AbuGrabIt]

Itiom, you must be on of the dumbest people on youtube. Barney Frank headed House Banking Committee and Chris Dodd headed senate Banking committee and Both Democrats testified to Fannie and Freddie's viability. Democrats refused to look into the misguided practice on the basis of race (no big surprise for the Dems) and the notion that everyone should be able to purchase a home. The Dems allowed the banking mess to happen and BO said he tried to do something by writing a letter. Big wow!

[lthom33]

Abu: Frank rec'd a donation from Fannie in 1989. Is this your argument? What of McPain's campaign mgr Lobbyist Rick Davis receiving $15,000 a month from Fannie up until Sept '08?

You're ill-informed. Go research & come back when you know what the hell you're talking about. You're reading GOP BS.

[AbuGrabIt]

We shouldnt be distorting our tax code to benefit a few powerful interests, Obama said at the Tax Policy Center, run by the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution. We should be insisting that everyone pays their fair share, and when Im president, they will. September 19, 2007

Doesn't anyone in BO's (hee hee; gotta love the initials) cabinet pay taxes?

[ramblinhaze]

You guys commending this guy for admitting he messed up is comical.

So he can fuck up but as long as he's "I fucked up." after he does..it's all good.

[k3304]

It's Bush's fault

[lthom33]

You can't convince Republicans with the facts.

They're ignorant. I have yet to come across 1 who is informed - not one!

[k3304]

im a republican and im informed. What's up with the democrats and not paying taxes ? Only the little people pay taxes ?

[brizzlie]

Ron Paul.

But overall I agree... :D

... same can be said for most Americans, unfortunately.

[copedipper333]

i new he would do this and its just gunna get worse.

[AbuGrabIt]

BO has definitely accomplished a lot. So much corruption in such little time.

[AbuGrabIt]

[bittergunowner12]

Looks like Hilda Solis's husband forgot to pay taxes for 16 yrs.

[Halisthemighty]

A president who admits he's messed up? That's something new.

[ramblinhaze]

Howabout a President that doesn't mess up..that would be new and much wanted.

[LoveAmericaStyle]

Google Jeff Fisher Jane Bowell World Wide Peace Forever and everyone scream everywhere and get to Philly ASAP and meet me so I can really put George W Bush and Richard B Cheney in jail at last. Google Jeff Fisher Show N Tell Ambazonia

[cmptvp]

Timothy Geithner the tax cheat was appointed to freaking treasury OBLABALA! You already set the double standard you fake phony fraud. This guy will say anything and is the biggest snake the white house has ever seen. Daschle did the right thing and you are squirming like the snake you are. This guy has no mentor and looks like a deer in headlights! The most corrupt and under qualified President you will ever see in your life time.

[Rules1and2Returns]

No, Jimmy Carter has him beat so far, being, Carter has been in the White House longer, and this is what, Obama's 2-3 week? Strap in boys, we're in for a ride of our lives.

[lthom33]

It's really disappointing that Daschle stepped down because he was highly qualified for this position - he would have been excellent. When you think about what the Republicans done (especially Bush et al) this seems so small.

[ramblinhaze]

Yeah...not doing your taxes legit especially when you're one of the biggest PRO pay your taxes guys ever..no biggie.

[lthom33]

What of Jack Abramoff (R) bribing 4 Republicans? Tom Delay(R)? Bob Ney(R)? Tony Rudy(R)? Mike Scanlon(R)? R. Cunningham(R)? Tom Noe(R)? Lester Crawford(R)? Bill Frist(R)? Libby anyone? Tax cuts for the rich, more tax cuts and more tax cuts! I could name more money issues or just go into the list of perverted sex scandals such as Brian Doyle (R) Mark Foley's taste for teenage House pages? You want to talk about crimes? I'm game.

[k3304]

What about Gerry Stubbs penchant for boys ? or Barney Frank's ? or the mayor of Portland Ore, who's recently in the news ? He's a democrat, too. Your news media bypass's this because they are controlled by the jewish liberal press

[lthom33]

It will be a cold day in hell before you can come up with the number of scandals the Reps have made compared to the Dems.

Bias my ass. Everything is bias to a Republican when the news doesn't suit them or they don't have a reasonable response. Jewish liberal press? CNN & MSNBC wasn't for the slaughter of innocent Palestinian children. Who are you kidding?

[AbuGrabIt]

ithom, here's news for you...The Democrats are in full power now and look at the corruption around BO. Still blaming the Republicans? You're stuck in 2002.

[lthom33]

The economy is tanking & Obama has been in office 3 weeks. Something needs to be done. The Reps want to cut programs such as aid to students. They always want to cut-out the middle-class. However they were quick to bailout Wall Street. The Republicans made the mess - Dems must clean it up. Just history repeating itself. This Bill can be signed at anytime but Obama has not. He will talk to the us on Monday about it.

[AbuGrabIt]

In case you didn't notice, the bailout is intended for corporate America...if these aren't the rich, then you and BO are completely clueless.

[lthom33]

You're stupid. Just this morning on MSNBC it was no surprise to hear McCain had voted against the Bill because he wanted his own Bill included which was TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY. Something that benefits him & his damn pals who tanked the country to begin with. No pork in this Bill now but nice try. That's why the Reps will not agree. I hope Obama signs it into law & soon!!

[AbuGrabIt]

Ithom, you are seriously such an Obama apologist. BO and the Democrats overseeing banking committees did nothing about banking disaster and then you guys hail them as heroes?!? Are you that dumb?

[lthom33]

The Federal Reserve Chairman was A. Greenspan (R). The Treasurer was Paulson (R) (Goldman Sach CEO & thief). The Securities & Exchange Commissioner Christopher Cox (R)whom McCain said should be "jailed." haha House banking committee is chaired by Frank (D) & S. Bachus (R). It was Paulson who made sure these greedy & unethical CEOs were paid billions for running the financial institutions in the ground. Dems are not responsible for that mess nor do we want to be mixed up in it.

[Pattycakessmiles]

In your dreams they weren't mixed up in it! And sure you dont want to be tained with it...thats how it always goes...but thats not how it is. You sure can toss a hell of alot of "history' under the rug when you want to make a point. Wow, I'm embarrassed for ya.

[lthom33]

Wow is right -that you have no concept to how government works. Republicans controlled Congress & there were Republicans who oversaw the US banking. A Republican president who never said "no" to Congress. What Dems were in Congress never had enough votes to pass anything. That's a fact. So, tell me how they were mixed up in decisions made by Republicans?

[Pattycakessmiles]

Thom: B4 I could answer I saw U R are off on still another fantasy. I could fill about 5 of these blocks w/info to help you see how it really was done, but what good if you REFUSE to know? Consider the names of these Pathetic. fork-tongued PURGERING shits whos bald faced lies have nearly killed our country: Maxine Waters, Franklin Reins- books cooker & thief, G Meeks, Art Davis, B Frank, to name a few. But I see you are now defending Geither so now try Daschel, Richardson, Kellifer etc etc!

[lthom33]

Patty: Between fired U.S. attorneys, deleted RNC e-mails, sexually harassed pages, outed CIA agents, tortured Iraqi prisoners—not to mention the warrantless wiretapping, plum defense contracts, & golf junkets to Scotland—you could be forgiven for losing track of which congressman or Bush admin outlaw did which criminal act. It's the trickle down Repub economy lies to put blame on anyone but themselves.

[lthom33]

You blind followers ignore the basic fact that we are in the exact same recession that we were in during 1986-1988 under the last 2 term Repub term. This failure occurred due to the so called Repub tax cuts that were funded by cutting state funding. The resulting property tax rises to offset the revenue loss coupled w/ the interest rate cuts, fueled a temporary real estate boom. This happened both in 81-83 & '01 to '03 ($500B tax cuts).

[lthom33]

Then they stated the economy was so hot in '83 & '03 that interest rate had to be raised & that started the cycle of foreclosures. Then the speculators began to get stuck w/properties they cant sell at a profit - they get foreclosed on or sell @ a loss & are left w/a balance owed that they must file Bankrupcy on. This causes the 1st of many major housing sale price drops which causes sellers w/variable rate loans to lose their homes after their low starter rates disapear - same as in '88!

[Pattycakessmiles]

Ok Thom, I think your wrong, and am afraid that too many just keep covering for BHO and his merry bad of thugs, but this is the great USA and we each get a say. So Blessings to ya.

[lthom33]

Think I'm wrong? It's history & I just explained it to you as simply as I could.

You can say what you want but that certainly doesn't make it fact. For anyone to blame the economy collapse on Clinton or any other Democrat is truly grasping @ straws. Just read the Reagan and Bush years on housing & banking and get pissed like the rest of us.

[HR5308]

What a great president!

[Turan123]

Yes! Yes! Obama mit uns! Hail hail Obama! Hail hail to the dearest leader!

[paultheeggman]

Obama should have had Geitner step down when it was discovered that he also didn't pay his taxes. Obama is only coming around now that it has happened at least three times with his appointments.

[tombstonetom]

A president who admits his mistakes and moves on, that's a chnge already

[Pv8man]

Ya, Seriously when do you ever see that happen?

a president makes a mistake, but instead of just lying about he was up front about everything at least.

that's all the people really want in a president , is honesty.

[Rules1and2Returns]

Yeah, screw doing a good job, right?
