1/6/12: White House Press Briefing

[nicolebtch]

what is this guys name?

[saadabdulaziz]

hopeless people have no hope for the future of humanity but still worry about weed's future.

[doingtimeonmyass]

about the marijuana issue, do you think Romney is going to care either? He cares more about money than people and will side with the special interests who oppose it. Besides, he can't handle coffee, do you really think he'd reverse the ban on marijuana?

[jugernaut57]

I love the google + hangout and i think it is a very unique and effective communication tool for the President to interact with the public.He looks Great and more at ease.

[Gedankenbaukunst]

i can t see Helen Thomas

DUE IN PART TO ECONOMIES OF SCALE THEORY, CAPITALISM WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO THE CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH. THIS WOULD OCCUR EVEN IF YOU REMOVED, ENTIRELY, EVERY SINGLE CORPORATION IN THE UNITED STATES AS WELL AS THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL RESERVE

*

A COMBINATION OF CAPITALISM (being able to start your own business, etc) AND SOCIALISM (universal medical care, affordable upper level education, etc) IS THE BEST OPTION

*

THE TEA PARTY, THE REPUBLICANS, AND RON PAUL, ARE NOT THE SOLUTION

that dudes nose is so brown

[frugal54]

I understand the concerns re: medical marijuana, but this is a tiny issue in the face of whether or not our country, and the progressive platform we elected into office can survive and move forward against the inappropriate blocking and delaying tactics embraced by the Republican Party--not to fulfill their oaths of office, but to secure the power of their own party at the expense of service to the people and country and undermine the credibility of the electoral process. No work/no pay works. 

[iwankaness]

i think this video is mislabelled...whoopsie nay 1/6/12? 1/30/12 yay?

[dvdhllone]

every body says were bullying the little guys but they dont seem to notice these little guy's

blew up our embassy an attacked us harder than the biggest countries on earth

[dvdhllone]

marijuana is a difficult subject i guess discretion is the better part of valor

[dvdhllone]

i feel as obama has earnd my vote with our victory in the war on terror

[dvdhllone]

i am curious as to where the president stands on the marijuana issue

i am a marijuana patient an i wonder how he is going to effect my future

[maxfactros]

Jesus Christ is the Lord! Revelations is happaning now! You can kill my body but can not kill my soul.

[MrOFoxy]

@maxfactros You're silly.

[maxfactros]

@MrOFoxy I don't think so. The population reduction will be implemented.

[MrOFoxy]

@maxfactros I still stand by you're silly. Because you just stated something without explaining it, and that is what silly (crazy) people do. What on Earth are you talking about, and why does it have anything to do with your previous statement?

[maxfactros]

@MrOFoxy kkk sorry my english is very poor.. i am from Brazil... =D

[monsterzero186]

Just curious Mr. president why you asked for our opinion on matters if you choose to ignore them. Do not expect my vote

[JohnDangerDukes]

You have lost my vote, President Obama. You blatantly evaded questions that were top ranked in this interview. no matter the subject, you shouldn't do this. "Change"? sure. This is not what America stands for.

[heyutl]

Honestly, why would you give us citizens a chance to ask any question, vote on what to answer, and then BLATANTLY DISREGARD IT? This is not acceptable. See if you ever get my vote. I'm sure my forefather who signed our Declaration would be upset that you even give us an option if you weren't going to honor it. That's something you should learn, by the way; Honor.

[User10111993]

YA ASK US QUESTIONS WE'LL ANSWER THE TOP ONES BUT NOT IF WE DON'T LIKE THEM. wtf is wrong with America.

[MrKinkyElbows]

I'm glad to see that we have come to the point where we can actually have an interview like this. It was a perfect opportunity for us Americans considering the fact that we could submit questions and vote on the ones that we actually wanted to see answered. It is beyond sickening though to see that despite being voted as one of the top questions, the ones with the subject of marijuana were completely ignored. How is that fair or justified?

[RyneCap]

This is complete bullshit. Answer the cannabis questions.

[Whitacre626]

this is a disgrace and i will never vote for this man again.

[MiMiCc4]

The entire "hangout" thing was complete trash. Thanks for your time O, but it is complete shit that the top questions were avoided. In typical american media/government fashion, only the questions that they felt were appropriate were answered, and the ENTIRE topic of marijuana was completely ignored, despite the fact that like 90% of the top written questions were about it, including WAY UP towards the top, the question asked by retired LAPD. Something must be done. We can't let this slide.

[UHIGaming]

Seriously. No wonder every one fucking hates America. Our government is worthless. They speak on what they feel comfortable with, and ignore the real issues and questions we need a response to. Thanks White House.

[MrOFoxy]

Thanks White House, for showing me exactly what I should always expect my government to pussy-foot around high rated issues because it's politically convenient.

[MrHoodHeffner]

This will be the 1st time in my life I vote republican.

[Whitacre626]

@MrHoodHeffner if you must, write in Ron Paul

[xPureEx]

The Google+ Hangout was a total sham.

[NSDinfoTV]

NONE OF THE CANNABIS RELATED QUESTIONS ANSWERED

[UltraNicator]

@NSDinfoTV Good. It's a trivial topic.

[Markle6]

What is the gov't doing to fix Human Nature? All issues like drug abuse, un-employment, ect are SYMPTOMS of the problem, which is Human Nature. Until we want to change, we will be forced to. Mother Nature and her forces won't support the human race any longer.

[Charlie12241]

@Markle6 We aren't all plant killers Poison Ivy.

[Markle6]

@Charlie12241 ... you are 100% correct ... I am part of the problem too, BUT the problem still exists. (The poison Ivy thing was a nice touch)

[Charlie12241]

@Markle6 I was only kidding, what problem were you talking about?

[vindactive]

"Submit the questions you want answered" ---> Then they proceed to hand select the questions they want to answer LOL LOL LOL. The questions are good, granted, i'll give them that. But I bet they will completely avoid the subject of marijuana (the # 1 most popular question submitted).

[nikkinjose]

Obama 4more yrs!!!!! ppl dont like obama n yet they still take time to listen to it....

[muslimgiga]

Jay Carney is a mindless puppet.

[XxsamanthaxX2000]

Yay its live!!!!

[afker553]

White House to Black House : )

[chiefs91HALI]

If you post "Obama 2012" or anything relevant to that, then you are an ingnorant dumbass and should go fuck them selves. RON PAUL 2012 FOR REAL CHANGE.

[InfectedInHD]

OBAMA 2012!

[noyouaintgettingit]

youtube.com/watch?v=0ZecoJWLFC­­­s

OBAMA YOU ARE JUST A BULLSHIT LIAR

YOU DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT US

STOP LYING

IF YOU GAVE TWO FUCKS YOU WOULD COMMENT ABOUT THE POLICE BRUTALITY

BUT YOU DONT

BECAUSE YOU ARE A LIAR

[WirelessTortureDevi]

Please go watch my videos, they are not a joke. Someone or some organization has a terrible device capable of reading minds sand torturing people right through the walls of buildings and homes. Please go watch my videos.

[swedishstream]

I have a question! What give's your goverment the right to have nuclear weapons when e.g Iran cant have them?

[kingofgames35]

@swedishstream because Iran will wipe the world with nuclear bombs... the US on the other hand won't.

[VennomX32]

@kingofgames35 We'll just use Drones and our ground troops to wipe out the rest of the world LOL

[zeektheawesome]

@VennomX32 Then why has Obama been scaling back on ground troops and drone programs?

[VennomX32]

@zeektheawesome Because they had a contract that ended in 2011. Do your research. Plus why is it ok for him to declare war without consent from congress. It states it in the constitution. Alsowhydid he pas the NDAA which takes away our 4th and 5th Amendment rights.The same Law that was developed by John McCain and Romney said he would pass it too. Why is it ok for him to bomb and kill thousand of innocent women and children over there thats y no one likes us.Let China come here and try that

[VennomX32]

@zeektheawesome We wouldn't like it but its ok for us to bully everyone else in the world. Why did he bail out Goldmen Sachs and the Banks? Why did he pass the partiotact which violates our right to privacy.Why didn't he keep his promises he said back in 08when i voted for him.He has raise the debt ceiling,spent more in 3yrs than bush did in 8yrs.End the Fed,0% income tax,0%inflation tax,End the Wars, cut 1trillion dollars in spending in the first year,takes no money from Lobbyist RON PAUL2012

[VennomX32]

@zeektheawesome We don't use nuclear weapons but we use our ground troops, drones etc to bully other nations. This causes Countries like Iran want a nuclear weapon. Why not talk to them and embark on trading with them. When we were in conflict with Russia we didn't threaten or bully them and they were a bigger threat than Iran. We negotiated and with them. War isn't always the answer. Obama,Romney,Newt,and Santorum are very similar. Ron Paul is the only one for real change.Look at his record

[dvdhllone]

@VennomX32 just asking-did russia ever attack on american soil?

[VennomX32]

@dvdhllone Did Iran ever attack on American soil? No! Like I said Russia was way more of a threat and is way more powerful and look what Happened, a simple talk.  Those russians are no joke. This whole Iran propaganda is more lies so that way Corporate America can expand and get more more from these wars.The military industrial Complex Profits. Why aren't we messing with North Korea the same way we bully other countries. They are launching and testing missiles yet we ignore them? Can u tell me?

[VennomX32]

@dvdhllone I meant to say more money instead of saying more more*

[TheTrueRae]

Okay, so where's the link to watch this at? You'd think the Whitehouse would include a link. Unless they want us to be a no show too ((grin))

[hussein2050]

@TheTrueRae you have 3 options: whitehouse dot gov/live, youtube dot com/WhiteHouse, White House Google+ page

[TheTrueRae]

@hussein2050 - ((smile)) Thank you!

[kirbykickbut]

haha what's google + lol

[flametard]

Hey President Obama, when do you plan on bringing the troops home? (i'm being sarcastic, you, sir, embody fakeness, and I can't wait for Ron Paul to bring it to your clumsy oreo ass, like a teacher brings it to a student.)

[hamham934]

Okay, a video from the white house gets 233 views after being uploaded, but TheSyndicateProject can get thousands of views after being uploaded? That proves that our economy needs some more comedy and video gaming social parties!!! No more religion, christians and jews, but video game! Call of duty and Battlefield.

[Josephdaz1]

Ask him why he didn't show up at the Georgia hearing ..

[Josephdaz1]

Presstitutes ..

[kileyrae91]

"Can you explain exactly what Google+ is?" Haha.

[Killersfrombeyond]

@Wangwee3. It, does to me. You, are a hater.

[wangwee3]

@Killersfrombeyond Why does it matter to you? You, are a fucking loser.

[dichroic101]

Ask him why is sending our troops to China & and more to Iran without permission from the other 2 branches of Government - which violates our Constitution! Ask him why he's building military hospitals in the country Georgia.. and why he & Romney are working together to keep it all quiet. We're not all sheep.

Why is Romney allowed to manipulate the media... oh yeah b/c Romney/Bain own it. Why are you allowing the elections to be rigged? Oh yeah you're a goyim doing the bidding & stupid to see it.
