March 9, 2009: The Day in 100 Seconds

[Maux4200]

my bday :)

[got28grams]

IT'S A GOOD TIME TO GET DRUG LEADERS!!!

[sweetelesue]

Obama = Bush on steroids

[bellacarmesi]

I respectfully disagree.

[devtin]

the healthcare crisis feeds the economic crisis

[LiveAtFiveAM1240]

Fabulous, just great stuff!  Keep this up whoever you are.

[theaudacityofdopes]

Barack Odumba is running a deficit four times as large as Bush's largest, he has called for $1 trillion in new taxes on America's most successful, who have already seen their savings and pensions ravaged. What a fool!

[Zile77]

The Dow Jones industrial average, actually, has reacted to Obama by plunging nearly 20 percent since he became president. That's an obliteration of wealth that no stimulus bill will recoup.

Since Election Day, the market has lost nearly 30 percent of its value -- trillions of dollars, not from CEO bonuses, as you may have hoped, but from your 401(k) and the private sector. Obama has destroyed the economy on purpose for his evil anti-American agenda

[Madmoe77]

This is laughable! You must have stock. Admit it! Come on-to be this zealous you must have lost your ass. It really stands as a lesson that if you gamble on something-you take the risks. The only truth is that anyone who has had to educate employees on 401K or stock investment you have to sell them the belief they can profit, knowing full well they may lose and it may not happen. But Wallstreet wants to keep promising the bank to collect the interest.

[tomanyasses]

its tuff to win in stock market if your the small guy. you get no deal unlike the big money they get stocks at deals a nd buy at hours nobody else can they get all the deals the small get nothing, try educating yourself

[Madmoe77]

yeah that is what I meant above. These wealthy bastards get the breaks and cry when they lose their butts. Obama isn't to blame-it was their gamble. I wouldn't waste my money in the stock market; I would take my poor man's chances on a rigged slot machine before I did that.

[momardrame]

I bet you didn't know that from September 15 (when Lehman went down) to November 3rd (the day before the election) the dow dropped 15% (from 10,918 to 9,320). That's barely 1 month and a half, on Bush's watch and before Obama got elected. So if you think that the stock market is declining because of Obama and not because the economy is in its worst shape since the great depression then you are a right wing nut.

[Madmoe77]

Yeah for some reason I got this comment from you-I think it was intended for Zile77. Or at least I hope so! Because I was defending Obama and all of us from these guys claiming a market is responding to one man. The market is responding to all the thieves who have gathered there for years and fed off of it. It's tapped out like a dry oil-well. Yet another gravesite capstone to rich men; wallstreet is no different.

[tomanyasses]

ok sporry

[amp1616]

i think hes balancing the issues quite nicely thank you very much

[momardrame]

Gimme a break. Do people really believe that an large economic mess like this can be fixed in 50 days? It took Roosevelt (the second best president ever) nearly 10 years to fix the depression. Also, hasn't Obama said all along that things will get worse before they get better?

[tomanyasses]

obama said all kind of things and done nothing what he said he would, he promises things butt doesnt say what he means . at best he might do some good butt only if the big money people want him to look good.

[bossudude420]

nothing you say, makes any sense whatsoever so I really wouldnt even know where to begin to explain how you were wrong, if I really could only understand what points you were even trying to make. He has closed down gitmo, he has bailed out hte economy, and he has reformed healthcare, education, and now earmarks. I dont know where youve been the past 3 months.

[theaudacityofdopes]

Barack running a deficit four times as large as Bush's largest, he has called for $1 trillion in new taxes on America's most successful, who have already seen their savings and pensions ravaged. What a fool!

[bossudude420]

no you idiot, this is the deficit from bush. when he got into office there was a surplus, within 2 months our country had hit a recession, weve been in a downward spiral for over 8 years. Barack is bailing the water out of the bottom of the boat as desperately as he can!!!! you fucking retards!!!

[gangreneday]

wow. that is so ignorant. Sure bush was bad, but Obama is doing the same thing that he did. We're still in Iraq, Afghanistan, and we're spending even MORE money a day than when Bush was president. It was Bush spending so much that got us where we are today. You need to examine your entire life up to this point. It is a lie. And you're adopted. Booyashakah!

[Zile77]

"Barack is bailing the water out of the bottom of the boat as desperately as he can!"

Wrong, he's make the hole bigger and ship is sinking faster since he took office... FACT!

[bossudude420]

bull shit!!! the only "spending" hes done outside of the stimulus is for education based job creation, as well as healthcare job creation, something DESPERATELY needed to help the economy right now. Read the facts douche bag. Look up obama health jobs, or green jobs, or obama education careers in google. the only reason its sinking as fast as it has been is because he was ROAD BLOCKED by congress for OVER A MONTH!!! you're own party wants us to fail so we will be sold to europe!!!

[tomanyasses]

wow an idiot thinks he smart obama is maybe at best do some good. you really think he going to take form the wealth and give to the poor your so stupid they would have him killed faster than you can say your an fool

[bossudude420]

speak english you sound like an absolute retard.

[BLikeNixonJustQuit]

haha

money

who cares?

[jdfox1]

SARAH PALIN 2012 !!

[brooksaceb]

OHHHHHH i get a play on his name!

LAME

[ver506]

I watch these people talk everyday, and i've come to peace with the fact that none of them know what they're talking about. Whatever.......

[jmeiskues]

we gun get raped

[theonly1daniel1]

Damn, We are screwed

[erinemar]

Obama has found his new pets - have you heard? Check them out on YouTube "F*ing Cats Completo"

[dejahthoris]

There will always be an excuse for why we cannot concentrate on Education, Healthcare, and the Environment. Anyone with brains knows these are all part of the body and we cannot treat the Economy separately and alone without treating these other issues as well in order to be successful. We are decades behind where we should be already!

[GoldfishChannel]

THANK YOU. amen to that!

[WildRiverman]

On policies of total borrowed funding, Obama is fast learning our own privately held accounts, as well as the world. is not buying into his BS spending policy's that the educated know are doomed to failure based on history alone. Mkts crash, and Obama crashes with them. I can go a few years without making one penny on my limited wealth, and that is the mindset of most as evidenced by the freefall of the mkts in Obama's first 50 days.

[TomStrong08]

The bald guy on Morning Joe looks like an older version of Joe Scarbarough.

[Akesson1986]

its like a movie but real. USA its going down, its so nice =)

[coattail2]

Lesson learned, a shame that they're pulling so many others down with them.

[yerbouti]

Does anyone know the clip or the reporter name at 0:34, the GMA "Banks On Life Support" segment?

[JobDDT]

Man, CNBC really is the worst.

[R0CC0R0SE]

you must be republican

[robinvan1983]

wow that girl at 1:05 wins the prize of the day! "are we being impatient?"

answer: yes!

[GeoliphicMedia]

0:56 'there are not connected at all' -- some still don't wanna wake up yet

[Truthiness231]

LOL, what's with the Ann Coulter add? A quick link for haters? Thanks I guess... ^.^

[fishhead06]

Once again, I am rendered slackjawed by the incisive analysis of American teevee journalists.

[mkabbz]

The critics are harsh, but Barack still has common sense on his side. He didn't us into this mess. And no one is presenting any better ideas. It all comes to community action at this point.

[PersonalJesus348]

How about increasing wages for the first time in 30 years. Nationalizing the banks and doing a good bank vs. bad bank system much like sweden. A country that has its citizens keep most of the wealth of the nation.

Universal healthcare. And make it illegal for someone to file for bankruptcy over medical bills.

And that's just to start.

[Richardgwm]

Greatest buying opportunity in 150 years.

[MooseOfReason]

I remember when it was 35 cents to make a phone call from a payphone.

AIG stock... Wow.

[Uwiluz60]

I wonder if Warren Buffet and George Soros were the ones that did the 550 billion 2 hour electronic draw on Our money markets on Sept. 15 2008 that started all this bailout and CRISIS and panic...And Why would they ????

[winner3000]

LMAOOOOO!!!! I LOVE that sound Kudlow makes at 1:20!!!!

[MooseOfReason]

Yeah, it's hilarious.

I had to make sure it wasn't edited or distorted, so I looked for it on CNBC's website.

"The Merck/Shering-Plough Premium" if you want to watch it.

And yes, it's real.

[ragetony]

I think it is a confidence thing. The more negative the news gets the more consumers tighten their belts, the more consumers tighten their belts the worse the economy does. Tell me I'm wrong.

Hopefully as fast as the media gets us into this the faster they can get us out. No more domb and gloom.

[SabuPtolemy]

Yep, the media preaching doom n' gloom 24/7 isn't helping at all. The stock market and by extension the whole economy is hugely about confidence.

[radudeATL]

I LOVE these videos!

[winner3000]

me too =)

[boundless1986]

my grandmother went to school with Warren Buffett, she said she regrets not paying attention to the nerd

[nomercyrules10]

thank goodness amidst all the economic chaos, barack obama is still pushing the progressive agenda. when this thing blows over, the new america will be beautiful and pristine.

[sirdaveysockrocker]

thank god there wasnt cable news in fdr's day

[GJB7733]

Do a search on tent cities. They used to be called Hoovervilles, now they're called Obamavilles.

Enjoy the ride! I'll see you at the bottom!

[laleeloolelo]

You said: "Do a search on tent cities. They used to be called Hoovervilles, now they're called Obamavilles."

Uh G, Hoover is a REPUBLICAN.

[KataVideo]

they're already called bushvilles, IDIOT. just like a conservatard, 2 years late on everything

[swifteagle43]

Republicans are unpatriotic

[wervasdeferens]

Pain trickles up!

Do we have short term memory loss in this country?

The Dow started tanking in May '08. Record drop in Oct '08.

Yet all of this is Obama's fault?

When the oil companies were making record profits quarter after quarter, where was the concern? When Ross Perot said there's going to be great job loss because of NAFTA, where was the concern?

When Bush SR. called Reaganomics, VooDoo, Where was the concern?

Now we're paying the price and it's Obama's fault.?GTFOH

[cagedtigersteve]

The world doesn't stop wars because of a recession. Important issues must be addressed and cannot be dismissed because of another issue.

Good leadership can address all the issues at once.

[srhabb]

Children, all of them.

[jpickles]

Who's the hot babe at 0:38 seconds? yummy....

[irvrod]

ron paul where are you????

[flang]

Making more tin foil hats.

[irvrod]

those tin foil hats are looking pretty good right now

[j0hnwi11iams]

The right hates everything the progressives do. They don't see the economy as being related with any of these other issues. They just want more tax cuts. Here is a big fucking clue for the clueless:

People are SCARED of losing their jobs, losing their house, losing their health care, losing their life savings. The republicans have very effectively DESTROYED the security of the middle class, and this is the payback.

[sachaput]

How many idiots can fit into a single screen shot?

[marniespeaks]

le the banks fail arrest the boards and CEOs

giver every working American making under 150k

25k

[nickwatchesthis]

scientists have already successfully created stem cells using human skin cells, which are much more abundant than what comes from embryos. that's why so many have said that embryonic cells are "better," because it has a better economic model. if you make stem cells out of skin, you couldn't make any money, because in economics scarcity = profit. this act of obama is poorly researched, and has undertones of being dishonest.

[zapponsalvia]

Who cares whether they use embryonic stem cells. It's a lump of cells. It's not people. It doesn't matter at all. With all the cancer and war and depression and hardship in the world, you think God gives a shit about a few little cells? And the cells don't give a shit, cause they're cells. It's a non-issue.

[nickwatchesthis]

it's less efficient and unsustainable! don't talk to me like i'm some kind of religious idiot. are you saying you'd rather PAY to be healed by stem cells, or wouldn't you rather have it for free? eggs have to be fertilized, then the embryo has to grow, then the cells harvested. it's a much more complicated process than cutting cells from you arm, adding protiens and chemicals, and using that to regrow your heart. it's been done... you should really keep up with technology.

[zapponsalvia]

If you're not some kind of religious idiot, why do you care if the scientists destroy embryos for stem cell research?

[nickwatchesthis]

i'm just saying, its another engine for profit. this skin stem cell thing is real, and it's easier and cheaper. it makes me uneasy, to think that the medical industry would be profiting from something that really doesn't have to exist. look up Juan Enriquez: Tech evolution.

[andrew19k]

I agree with the science of embryos but I feel it's completely (non religiously -- for all you crazies out there--) immoral. However if there just throwing them away, might as well try to help someone else. Maybe it will prevent things like the one liberal organized and funded abortion center that was caught throwing fetus's in the garbage can.

[asthenic]

lol what a retarded comment. Go die

[rickamabob13]

The guy talking from :50 to :57 said President Obama should "focus on the economy". Hmm, where have we heard that before? Maybe it was, John Mccain "suspends" campaign to focus on the economy.

[Mysticomega]

"One thing that really would be helpful is if all the Chicken Littles would just stop

yelling, Doom! and calm down. And instead promote a little common sense"

[buffalosouljah18]

I can't believe stem-cell is okay, but medical marijuana isn't.

[PharaohNineD]

Okay everybody it's game over time. lets all try and get the republicans back in charge. And watch cnbc all day long...

[zame209]

yes, I care as well.. rofl, "Barack and a hard place" thats pretty funny

[monalisasmiles4you]

And the peanut gallery started chattering...

[glaked23]

I never got the ban in the first place. Now you can debate weather abortion is right or wrong. But as long as abortion is legal why not use what we get from it for something that can help?

[gulalu]

Did people really expect the economy to revive itself within weeks of Obama's taking of office?

[tyrone70]

The weird thing is that everyone who was against Obama are now upset with him that he's not a miracle worker. How's he supposed to undo 8 years in less than a year? It hasn't even been 100 days yet.

[uforeader]

exactly. it hasn't even been 50 days yet! the talking heads need to be patient. Obama's not looking for a quick fix - he wants to put in place programs that are necessary for long term economic stability and security.

[Namari12]

I don't disagree.. but "being patient" doesn't bring in ratings, constantly harping on and criticizing the people in power does. >_>

[matman125]

Finally! Someone who cares!

whatever

[azas1949]

what do you think stimulus means, Bozo ?

[dragonfox312]

kinda early in the day

[MonaSabbat]

Yaaay for lifting the stem-cell ban! :)

[beccahday]

awesome move on stem cell research! yay.
