President Obama Fiscal Speech George Washington University (April 13, 2011) [2/3]

[BlackRepublican2010]

6:51 Republicans want to basically kill kids with down-syndrome.Are you serious? Because if we don't cut the debt there will be no money for any of these programs because America will be bankrupt. This speech is just one in a long line of complaining about obama's own failures, crying like the crybaby he has become in the white house & the reason he won't be re-elected. Obama had 60 democrat senators & control of the house of representatives. Dream act? No. Tax hikes he wants on the wealthy? No.

@henryjjohnson3 Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't blisteringly clear in my comment. I will clarify for those who can't apply context for themselves; The two wars he's *gotten us into* and the one that he's *still got us in despite his campaigning entirely on the premise of immediate withdrawal once he took office.* Is that better for you? Do you understand the context of my sentence now? Oh, and soon Syria will be number 4,.. or 3 and 1 for the mentally challenged, like yourself.

The democrats took-over congress in the 2006 elections. During 2007 the US Deficit was ~ 200 Billion Dollars. In 2010, after 4 years of dumocrat rule in congress, the US Deficit rocketed to 1.5 TRILLION DOLLARS.

If is time Boys & Girls to get rid of oblama, Plus the TAX, SPEND & WASTE Congress and balance our budget, before we don't have a country.

[Rowlandph]

No, Hyperbole...You're all wrong... The tax cuts were across the board...! ..This idea about the rich not paying their fair shake is liberal nonsense...And Obama calls anyone...any business making $250K..rich!...A NORMAL business may take in that much...MOST of which goes out in slaries, costs, rent, etc.,etc. It's the 'kids' ...no matter what their age...who 'fall' for the liberal line. Obama and Biden TOOK EVERY TAX BREAK THEY COULD...this year. Where's HIS sacrifice? Obama = THE PROBLEM

[corinnep29]

I think honestly we need to stop spending money on Tanks, weapons, bullets,planes, ships and end all of the wars, bring our men and women home from over seas, and let all Foreign Countries fight against them selves, without our help over in foreign countries. Keep our Military men,and women here at home in the USA,start taking care of the USA,and the American People First, concentrate on our families here in the USA. We could be saving billions, trillions on military stuff.

[Rowlandph]

No, it's not Bush's fault, you idiot!...Obama has raised the debt..HIMSELF, 4 trillion in the past two years!!...more than any president!...HE did it...not Bush...You fools out there will accept any lie the left tells you...because your egos NEVER will admit you were DUPED!...AND STILL ARE. Across the board...EVERYTHING has gone down..BECAUSE OF OBAMA...he's got you on the hook....where he wants you...so you CAN'T think for yourself...just sheep...47% of the country..now sheep...and losers...

[fnorkmama]

YES!

[AssyrianMelka3]

@BlackRepublican2010 I feel its class warfare when the top 2% are represented more than 98% of the american people.

[MasterZenStorm]

When he says "only 1% of our spending is in foreign-aid," I wonder if he's including the money being spent on the three wars he's got us in.

[henryjjohnson3]

@MasterZenStorm You can't be serious. Please educate yourself and understand that he was not president when we went to war. He has the authority to get us out of Iraq and Afganistan but it's not that simple and there has to be a plan in place. We're not in Libya if that's what you were referring to when you said three wars. Oh by the way foreign aid is aid to other countries like Japan and Haiti who have had natural disasters. The funding for the wars come from the defense budget.

[Rowlandph]

I see the idiots are STILL beliving the fool them all, Obama...who hates America...Hates the Constitution, Hates the middle class 'bitter clingers,' as he called them...Oh, and he NEVER heard anything his mentor...that's what he called him..Reverend Wright said...in 20 years. Yeah..Right. EVERYONE who STILL believes Obama is the answer...is a loser...and will continure to be a loser...as long as they remain as stupid as they are now. Obama has dragged the country down to it's lowest...

[sh00008]

Finally Obama put that bastard Paul Ryan in his place. This bastard is pure evil for putting up a proposal that basically ends Medicare for senior citizens. This bastard does not put the immense defense spending at all in his budget. I hope there is an imaginary hell for this Paul Ryan to burn in because he knew exactly what he was proposing. Obama is too intelligent to let this one slide. He has been timid no matter how disrespectful these evil republicans got, but enough is enough!

[scott4261]

Now THIS is the president I voted for! Where's he been? ...

[Rowlandph]

All ANYONE has to do is open their eyes....SINCE Obama took over, the country has gone down the tubes...In two years, he's added 4 TRILLION DOLLARS to the national debt. NO PRESIDENT has come even close...in their 8 years of doing that...

Obama's mission, folks, is to buckle this country at it's knees, while he's in office to 'get even,' for all the BS he's been taught about America, since childhood.

The only way HIS policies would make sense is if he HATED the country...WHICH HE DOES!...

[sh00008]

@Rowlandph You are an ignorant fool!

[useacondompeople]

tax the excessively rich. yes. that's where all the big $ is. 2percent of the ppl got it all in their selfish, greedy little hands. tax the rich. tom brady got 176million to play football with the patriots. 176million is too damn much 4 any 1 flawed human being to be given. too damn much big$ in the hands of the very few. sick and an outrage.

[meltdown53]

“ Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

obama 2006 ( bo never bothered to vote)

[nwoebcke]

07:10: "[The Republican vision says even tho we can't afford] medicare/medicaid we can somehow afford $1 trillion in tax breaks for the wealthy. Think about that. In the last decade the average income of the bottom 90% of all Americans actually declined. Meanwhile the top 1 saw their income rise by an avg of more than $250k each. That's who needs to pay less taxes?! They want to give people like me a $200k tax cut that's paid for by asking 33 seniors each to pay $6000 more in health costs." 

[BlackRepublican2010]

@nwoebcke It is not the government's money, it's whoever earns it.

[Songstarable]

Mr President.. thank you for the courage to address the MEAT of our greed in the USA. A lot of folks residing here refuse to learn how the world has advanced far above us in global economic technology. We have become very centered with entitlement attitudes. We must pay for performance! That includes every individual who calls him/hefself an AMERICAN. We for many decades have put bandaids on the problem, but the bandaid wipes off in time and the core root remains!

[Rowlandph]

ANYONE who is STILL for Obama...is an absolute FOOL. And I doubt if there's any hope for them...With all the evidence out there...starting with WHERE he's taken this country...if you can't see it....you're as stupid as a bag of rocks....which is JUST what he wants you to be.

[eobrock2]

this guy is a clown and a disgrace.

[geesexhoward12]

Obama is buddies with the GE president and GE doesn't pay taxes.

[Songstarable]

@geesexhoward12 GE is now foreign owned... thank you Mr Bush

[decardenasj]

@Songstarable. No, thank you high corporate tax.

[AssyrianMelka3]

Republicans are wolves in sheep's clothing feeding on the poor. They are completely unchristian. They are the modern day pharisees and sadducees! Political leaders that mix politics and religion who oppress the poor, children (education), and elderly (medicare) and they call that christianity?! Then you don't know Christ, more importantly He doesn't know you. This is a wake up call to the body of Christ not to those who call themselves Christian and live like the rest of the world. God bless

[ConsciousCounseling]

@AssyrianMelka3 I love what you said here. This is so true.

Paul

[AssyrianMelka3]

@ConsciousCounseling Thank you Paul. We must not follow what american cultural christianity says we should believe but what scripture says. God bless brother

[HoursAwake]

@AssyrianMelka3 Religious people are going to be the end of us.

[AssyrianMelka3]

@HoursAwake Just viewed you channel it speaks for its self. God bless

[BlackRepublican2010]

@AssyrianMelka3 These social programs confiscate, or to the layman liberal, STEAL from one American & give to another. These are not your dollars, they are the American worker's. Christian belief is giving freely of oneself. Medicare, medicaid & all these social programs simply steal from those who earn it-the Bible says you are entitled to the fruits of your labor-& they give to another without the worker's consent. In what universe is taking someone's money earned or property not stealing?

[AssyrianMelka3]

@BlackRepublican2010 You error in your belief of what christianity is. Its not giving freely of oneself. It is simply to follow Jesus as Lord (his life and teachings is our example) after you recieve Him as Savior. Savior from the wrath of the Father that was poured on Him in our place at the cross. That my friend is christian belief.

[AssyrianMelka3]

@BlackRepublican2010 Romans 13 : 6-7 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.

[MsLemons12]

@AssyrianMelka3 i like how you act like republicans and democrats are all that different...

[AssyrianMelka3]

@MsLemons12 Huh? Your statement doesn't make sence... BTW I'm an Independent.

[blueskiesblue]

Stand behind our great president. He is young, and brilliant, and has the BRAINS to take us back to a living country! We can not take more hits, that would send our dollar crashing.

[sterline80]
