President-elect Barack Obama lays out economic plan

[hookalakah]

"The stimulus only stimulated Chris Matthews' leg." ---Congress of Racial Equality National Spokesman Niger Innis to Sean Hannity, Aug. 18, 2011

[hookalakah]

"One nice thing about the situation I find myself in is that I will be held accountable. I've got four years. ...And a year from now I think people are going to see that we're starting to make some progress, but there's still going to be some pain out there. If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition." --President Barack Obama to Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today," Feb. 2, 2009

Obama is lie.

He is O gog from the bible.

[mahmood137]

The only good thing about this plan is that it's sort of a relief package to the middle and working class. One part of me say's "about time". The other part of me remembers my high school history. Roosevelt did almost this same thing. The depression got worse before it got better. I think the best way we can strengthen our econ. is to bring manufacturing jobs back to the states. Look up Oregons strategy. They're not doing too bad because of the local gov. attitude towards business.

I think that 700$ billion bailout won't do anything, what they really need to do is bring back the troops home and CUT GAS PRICES, GAS PRICES IS THE ONLY THING THAT PEOPLE IS NOT SPENDING ANY MONEY ON GAS. IF THEY BRING T ROOPS HOME THEN HOPEFULLY GAS PRICE GOES DOWN N PEOPLE STAR SPENDING MORE. ITS ALL BOUT OIL.

economy to take fast growth purchasing power should be increased.this can be done by writing off all loans ,increasing the salaries of employees,restoring confidence in the employees,by guaranteeing their job security,thus tendency to spend will increase,thus creating a growth in demand,leading to increase in production finally bring about a growth in economy.

it's amazing that americans were brave enough to vote for someone who is the complete opposite as Bush, someone seen as the rest of the world as a murdered, who causes the death of more than 100,000 civilians in Irak, not to mention american soldiers, in a war based upon economic greed. Go Obama, peace to the world!!!

[deanaynechi]

why is he readin straight off his script!!!!!

[dapperheid]

bush is trying to fuck up the environment as we speak... hope we can make it to January 20th

[CaliBombBro]

Guys Obama can't do shit right now because Bush still is the president. Obama has no power and Bush still has enough time to fuck us over and the country. We just gotta make sure Bush doesn't pass anything or start anymore wars before he leaves. Also I'm glad Obama became elected he's MUCH better than McCain and I won't even mention her name, but that doesn't mean we can be complacent. Hold their feet to the fire and make sure they are working for us.

poogerbicker ur a real idiot tho... wow dat kinda racism for no reason wow... hope u make it in life pal and dont meet too much people who would talk about u like how u talked about human beings

[luvobamas]

You are way out of line with the "N" word and your racial stereotyping

[eplfootiefan]

If you look at the small-print,you will see the USA is going to borrow another $900bn in the next 20 weeks,what the hell is going in?

If you do the figure's USA with $10.6 trillion debt now,will have $12 trillion debt by this time next year.

$12t national debt,with $14 trillion GDP,that is assuming USA GDP dosn't contract substantialy in the coming year,85%+debt/gdp.

USA hs had this before,after WW2,then they were the world's manufacturer,and had no future social liabilities,NOT NOW!

[jjnsama1998]

Wow. Lots of bitterness here. Don't worry. Obama will use closet economics just like Bush did. You just move the pieces around and magically everything improves. In Oba's case, it'll be raising taxes on non-auto companies to save the auto companies. Just like when Bush raised steel tariffs in 2002 to win steel votes; he bankrupted auto parts suppliers and the American people. Yummm...puzzle pieces.

[wonderfwuka]

Has anyone noticed his foreign policies don't really differ much from McCain's? Out of Iraq and into Afghanistan??? How have we been paying for it? How will we? He's no different. He'll be the president who's term will be the complete destruction of our monetary system and national sovereignty. Watch... don't get caught up in the liberal hype. SAY NO ON THE CARBON TAX!!!

[luvobamas]

Open your eyes, Bush is already the President whose term is complete construction of our monetary system and national sovereignty. Don't blame Obama for Bushes' fuck ups.

[wonderfwuka]

hey obamahead, i haven't blamed obama for anything, yet. can you read? however, i did make a prediction. nothing wrong with that. if i'm wrong, i'm wrong. they have a chance at restoring our monetary system and national soveriengty, but will he? will he repeal the powers bush has given himself? let's see. he will run us deeper into the dirt.

[mibuttiznum]

I like the fact that he's going to have to work with everyone, and he will heal our country.

[mogilny89p]

Good luck suckers.

[kingtexas1]

We will stand with you the same way everyone stood with Bush when he was elected...poke,curse,bash...Oh­, and so will the world that you will change.

[wonderfwuka]

You people are being shmoozed. OMG!!! Black guy-president-democrat-liberal­- he cares about us... right... remember all the things he says now... see if they are true a year from now. remember! you may not have youtube to do it for you.

[Brenstar]

Whether or not he cleans up america and and adheres to his promises white-guy-not-president-person­s like you STILL wouldn't care. Right?

[wonderfwuka]

uh... what? hey... they got the fundametalist christian/neo-con/warmongers brainwashed, all they need now is the perfect liberal puppet... obama... just like they got the liberals on PCness and they PC'd Shakespere out of school. he'll continue the trillion dollar foreign policy spending, he'll continue destroying our civil liberties and he'll not revoke the powers Bush has bestowed upon himself and now Obama. I'm not about black or white fuckhead.

[wonderfwuka]

are you black or are you white? are you black or are you stupid? are you white or are you a total fuck? go fuck your black self in your white ass asshole? i love black people and white people. they are equal. we have a black president, that makes things better... becasue he's black and we're equal now. he'll change things because he's the first black president. he's black. but he's a little white too, so that makes him a little like me. The black me anyway. I'm black, but i STILL wouldn't care..

[wonderfwuka]

Wait... how does a U.S. president globally respond to the global economy??? What the fuck is that??? Why do they keep saying GLOBAL??? We can't even take care of our own country and our own economy! Who are we to take on the global economy when we've proven to just fuck it up? Hey people,this guy is a fucking puppet. McCain would have been one as well.

[seanamico]

You have a plan to come up with another plan so you can plan out what?

Buying the presidency was easier than to be a president you will find.

How cheap is this nation to sell the office for less than 600 million dollars and have a peace of shit like Opera push her agenda and this to the US.

I hope for everyones sake you are not as much of a fuck up as I beleive you are.

UUUUUUUm, stop saying that it makes you sound stupid.

[raidacaipo]

definetly the man for president and Im not even black but Im so proud..

[alahgitateur]

definitely the MAN.

[acudoc411]

An intelligent adult as president.  What a concept!
