  • Goolsbee ... crapmaster of economics.

  • Glad he's got a sense of humor to counter his incompetence.

  • Goolsbee has a cool voice like Will Arnett

  • This pompous ass Goolsbie has called us ordinary americans/workers. Shows me what he thinks of us!!!! too bad we are not elite like he is!!!!

  • @villanova85 Yeah you're just a piece of shit.

  • Bla bla bla GOP

    Bla bla bla Dems

    Keep fighting you sheep. The puppet masters are loving it.

  • Wow Goolsbee creamed that guy!!

  • Gooooolsbee is sooo sexy. Just saying :)

  • @InFromTheVoid Yeah, for American chickens thats the most important thing: to see sexy, deep voiced , masculine hunks (and this guy is playing one). It doesn matter even that he is not a movie star, he is an economic adviser. And as an adviser he says things that even me, a man without some high economic education, can laugh.

  • He's sharp, AND hot xD

  • @gloomyoutlook Is that what his position requires?

  • @arakhachatran

    doesn't hurt :]

  • @gloomyoutlook Stupidity and non professionalism hurt though))))

  • The master of the one-liner working for the master of the one-termer. Goolbee is the same idiot who penned an op-ed piece in the New York Times in 2007 defending the very same policy that brought us this recession, The handing out of mortgages to unqualified borrowers.

    It's nice to look back and see who was proven right, Of course Obama naturally promoted him after Romer admitted failure. Nothing but sycophants in this administration. Little wonder the economy is stuck in neutral.

  • his gota some hair on his head!

  • 1:47 haha

  • Look out everyone! jpace4revolution runs around naked at Bohemian Grove, where Henry Kissinger and his acolytes run trains on him. Bahahahahaha!

  • Austan Goolsbee is a member of Skull & Bones

  • Big deal...

  • If it's no big deal then shut the fuck up

  • No I don't think I will shut the fuck up, until someone comes along and makes me --which is not going to happen any time soon. We're all aware Goolsbee is a member of Skull & Bones, as anyone can Google this info. BIG FUCKIN' DEAL! I know where you're going with this (like these other Alex Jones, Info Wars, Illuminati crackpots): "Ohhh, look out! He's part of a secret society hellbent on allowing the NWO reptilians to take over." Get out of here with this crap. No one cares about you freaks.

  • Not really , he just thinks federal reserve should be manipulating monetary policy.. would you mind not trolling this video anymore?

  • Austan Goolsbee is the Man!

  • if I was named austan goolsbee, I'd shoot my parents for naming me. They must be pure losers! goolsbee is just an asshole, but what else is new!

  • Goolsbee = another leftist eastcoast lib socialist economist.

    Good job UC.

  • I LOVE AUSTAN HE'S A GOOD GUY!!! :)

  • milton debate champion right there

  • lolll that guy was no mercy! Nice job!

  • *snap snap snap*

  • Fruit loops? Haha, golden.

  • LIVE OWNAGE

  • What was so good about this?

  • Yeah, Goolsbee is so full of BS. I guess after getting annihilated by Kevin Murphy in a debate over Social Security he had to move on to debating on TV appearances, where you have half a minute to say what you want, which of course reduces the whole debate to bunch of nonsense and short, cheap, populist lines, devoid of any economic reasoning and common sense in general.

  • nice

  • he's good...he's really good.

  • how quickly were you expecting the stimulus package to work exactly? and what critical economic points need to be hit before you will be convinced that the economy is improving? (not saying that it is, btw) i don't think we can expect any kind of magical recovery, even with obama's stimulus package, but at the same you have to give it time.

  • the bombay ad is appropriate; they both look like they either had been drinking last night or even just a little while ago

  • PWNED BALDY!!!

  • True, but there's no need to bring someones lack of hair into it.

  • I love Fruit Loops Why????

  • LMAO! guys here at work thought I was loosing it. That was really funny. I need to get back to work 4 real

  • hahahahhahha this guy rocks

    "there is more information on the back of a box of fruit loops"

  • Oh man he DEFINITELY should have been on TV alot more.

  • Fruit Loops... ROFLMFAO!

  • skull and bones is a secret society at yale university. they do all kinds of wierd shit there. george bush senior and junior were both members and so was john kerry. verrryyy interesting. a bunch of world leaders coming from the same secret club.

    then the bohemian grove is an off shoot of skull and bones

  • yeah this is such super top secret info - my grandma can look it up on wikipedia

  • the fact that the group exists is obviously not secret, anymore. what goes on within these groups and why they all share the same views and goals of world domination(literally) and how all of them end up in top guvernment positions is the top secret part. dumbshit

  • Did your parents ever teach you that it is bad manners to call people names ? Or perhaps that is what they modeled to you as far as behavior. I am sorry for you

  • didnt your parents ever teach you that it is bad manors to but into another conversation and act like a smart ass even though your a dumbass

  • Yeah McCain is sane? Goolsby is one of the smartest economists in the country. But you probably don't know what an economist is! The reason he seem s so bothered is because talking to republicans right now after they have torn up the constitution and our economy they can't even admit that their philosophy is what has put this country in the position it tis in! Evangelical Right! Whatever! Remember christ went into the money makers and the lenders shops and turned them up side down!

  • Austan Goolsbee masturbates in public

  • austan is a bonesman. even with obama in office, we have more skull & bones in the white house. lose-lose, always.

  • Nice Video!

    I did one too about this whole debacle. I will send it to you. Tell me what you think.

    -TonyaTko

  • Goolsbee is close to the truth. I am waiting for McCain to persuade the republican holdout on the bailout to give the yes vote for the bill. The savior of the USA and the world finaces, Republican McCain. That will certainly bring his rating up for presidential canditate. Hopefully before the VSP debate on Thursday. Read my lips!!!

  • That guy is funny. Goolsbee FTW!

  • Austan (Paarakeet) Goolsbee

    The Fruit Loop Kid!

  • sos-

    It's funny how Goolsbee offends you so much that it causes you to call him names...don't take it personally...He was clowning on McCain, not you.

  • pwnage!!

  • "more information on the back of a box of fruit loops".. i love it!!

  • Oh boo hoo hoo. The GOP campaigns with one-liners for two consecutive campaigns but as soon as a Democrat does it suddenly its sycophantic? Grow up.

  • You sure won't get any solutions from John McLiar. His "detailed economic plan" is 4 sentences long. You need to seriously do some homework and stop voting on who you could drink a beer with. Leave it to McCain, you won't be able to afford a beer, unless it's distributed by the Hensley Corp.

  • God, I love Goolsbee!!

  • i dont think he's a good rep of obama. this guy is not west wing material.

  • I like this Goolsbee guy.

  • wicked sick, good vid that people should watch!

  • He stole half those one liners from the Daily Show

  • well said goolsbee, well said

  • OBAMA 08!

  • damn ive never heard this guy b4 now....finally someone who can talk shit right back to the republicans....good stuff

  • Well surprise, surprise! Paulson asks for a huge government bailout just as Bushs term ends. We now know Paulson & Bernanke just didnt stumble onto this problem. If Congress had been informed months ago, the fat cats wouldnt have it so easy & there could have been enough time for real debate to take place. Now, the sky is failing and you had better sign off or were all doomed! We heard that same crap during the run up to the Iraq war.

    Republicans: beyond hypocrisy, beneath contempt.

    What is the difference between a pitbull and a University of Chicago Economist? Brain.

    *

  • And you're a Depressed person who can't handle the Truth.

    What did Austan Lie about?

    Fruitloops - Priceless!

  • dang it sucks when the democrats have a sarcastic SOB spokesman, how does it feel? Turnabout is fair play.

    Asshats from the conservative side of the aisle been taking cheap shots at liberals for freaking ever. Payback!

  • more info on the back of a box of fruit-loots. that is a good line - Also "you dont start fires and then declare yourself the fire chief"

  • What sort of name is 'Austan Goolsbee'?

  • typical repuKKKe comment, focus on labels and tags, instead on what is really important, the content what he says!

    Oops sorry, I forgot, Repukes are just to dumb for that!

  • Austan Goolsbee = hot.

  • ** THE REAL ECONOMY VS WALL STREET **

    Wall Street created exorbitant profits for speculator only by trading financial assets. No real wealth was created in the process.

    In the meantime, middle class workers in manufacturing and real services sectors have been subject to high taxes and increasing interest rates.

    We need to stop the uncontrolled speculation on WS and to focus on the real economy. We need a financial system that works in favor, not against, the real economy.

  • LMAO.. Fruit loops!!!

  • damn that guy was good, but obama is no better than mccain

  • this guy is a great pitbull

  • every time i hear i feel like we got a man who can take pigs likes these and skin them alive, how happy i am when he finally came back to kill these lipstick covered pigs. goolsbee killem, and make sure to do it rough and tough.

  • he is a dewalt!! He drilled him.Bob Barr 2008!!!!!

  • did i just see Holtz-Eakin curl up into a fetal position and begin sucking his thumb??

  • Comment removed

  • Very droll... funny though!

  • I love Austan & the way he gives facts & able to punch back hard when someone tries to lie. Howard Dean was mad today as well at McCain for running a shameful campaign. He called McCain out a few months ago on using the prospect of nearly $6 million in federal matching funds, which he said McCain won't claim as collateral for a January campaign loan, and to obtain automatic ballot access in every state. Keep up the good work boys!

  • He got owned. lol at fruit loops.

  • true leader indeed

  • fuck, he's owning

  • That's how you do it! That's how you take on the republicans!

  • LOL get 'em! Rawr!

    Marxism??

    Buying up all these failing industries is what Hugo Chavez would do.

  • haha he got owned

  • Please please read and take this into serious consideration all of you who are Republicans or Independents. The Republican philosophy of the unregulated free market and that the free market will solve our economic and even our healthcare problems is a fucked up bankrupt greedy and sick philosophy that has proven itself to be a diabolical lie. Please learn your lesson and stop voting for Republicans who carry forth this neocon lie that continues to infect our great Nation. Enough already!

  • Let's see ... we have proof of republicans lying for 8 years and don't get me started on his campaign ... or a new guy. I'm a conservative independent and you couldn't force me to vote for McCain.

  • Gotcha Bicthes!!!! Love it...

    Dems with Balls, a New kind of Animal!!!

  • Austan Goolsbee, is grrrrrrreat!

  • I rarely say this but... pwnd.

  • Master of the one-liner? Master of snarkiness, more like. That "Froot Loops" comment was a simplification, not a summary.

    I'm an Obama supporter, btw, and like Obama I believe in taking the high road.

  • well the title was a bit bad for this video, but i mean he gave effective analogies that even the uneducated could understand.

  • Well, "taking the high road" is why Gore and Kerry have lost elections. You don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

  • Yeah, I saw him on MSNBC today and thought he was A+. You can stay, Mr. Goolsbee.

  • ...Partially, but not entirely because we like saying Mr. Goolsbee.

  • Haha! Arsonist head of fire department! AWESOME analogy! Thanks, I'll be using that one!

    McCain - Country Club First

  • damn hes smoked that pig. damn! oh snap!

  • He's good.

  • thats what im talking about!!!!!

    MCCAIN IS A FRUITLOOP!

  • Love it! Great job Goldsbee.

  • Obama needs Goolsbee out there as much as possible; I've hearted him ever since he proposed that we declare pennies to be worth a nickel in a Times editorial. The guy is some kind of genius, and his dry, sarcastic baritone makes him the perfect proxy.

  • Barack may want to have Austan Goolsbee on TV More often!

  • "more info on the back of a box of fruit loops" classic

    lucky charms won't get the republicans out of this hole.

  • Agree that Line was Classic!

  • Nice recovery. This is the first time I've seen him. The last time I'd heard about him, his words were causing Obama issues from Canada. Nice to see that they've got him on-message now.

  • OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • My vote is for Ralph Nader, only because Dr. Ron Paul isn't running. This two-party election is a joke.

  • What's wrong with my comment?! The other two candidates are clowns! Ha!

  • The dems are growing some balls.

  • Awesome

  • Goolsbee kicks ass!!!!

  • Austan just pwned that other dude, hahah!!!!

  • of course he did. do you think somebody representing mccain is going to be smart? lol

  • haha good point, mccain and all his advisors are all JOKES! especially his running mate

  • i know!! sarah palin really has no buisness as vice presidential nominee. lets just hope america as a whole feels the same way!

  • tell viewers to look at the opponet's website, then immediately compare it to a box of fruit loops. that's balls!!

  • no, it's pure science. observe, record, report.

  • This guy Austan is the fucking man. I like his style.. homie smooth as suede. The depression was under republican watch. And nine out of ten recessions. If McInsane wins, expect the worst.

  • Austan Goolsbee, Damn, this guy is good!

  • At least he was nice enough not to hit Douglas Holtz-Eakin with a Blackberry zinger. :)

  • He did. Blitzer brought it up, and Goolsbee reminded everyone that Blackberry is a Canadian company, so they both had problems involving Canada, he told Holtz-Eakin.

  • ouch that is just ruthless. :)

  • Wow! Never seen this guy before and he is awesome.

  • ROFLMAO! Fruit loops!

  • my god why is this election still close. what the hell is wrong with americans.

    the answer is probably, we would rather burn in hell befor we are led by an afro american.

    SAD!

  • Thank the Palin supporters.

  • have to agree.

  • he was ok....nothing that really touched me (other than the fruit loops box line obvsy).  he was still a bit erudite for the average red state audience.

  • So are you, Mr. Erudite Scholar! haha, I thought he kicked ass, and fuck stupid people for not understanding what really was simple language.

  • i hate intellect, period. lollll

    go with your heart, not with your mind!!

  • wat

  • Davidjin. Do you think like that b/c your rich maybe? Meh must be a republican,go figure >.>

  • At about 1:00-1:21 = the summary of the Mccain campaign.

    Questioner: So how will Mccain solve our problems?

    Answer: Obama sucks!

  • rofl... "back of a fruitloops box"... this guy is great... i cant believe ive never seen him before

  • deregulation is part of the problem and senator mccain is partialy responsible.

  • Obama advisor sounds & looks like a Repub

  • Well surprise, surprise! Republicans turn out to be the biggest socialists the USA has ever known. Corporate socialists that is. They don't blink when bailing out their cronies in the banks with trillions of US$'s, but when it comes to looking after the people - you know, the taxpayers, those who are gouged by these corporate bailouts - then Republicans throw a hissy fit, wrap themselves in the flag, and scream 'You communists!' at the Democrats.

    GOP - beyond hypocrisy, beneath contempt!

  • How many "socialist" countries nationalise their banks, for God's sake? I'd say the Bushies are only a couple of degrees from Marxism.

  • Recess, some idiot on here said that Obama was pushing "Marxism." Ha! Where do these people live? Under rocks????

  • omg, omg, omg, where has this guy friggin' been?

    if he's not used for the rest of the campaign on air, I am going to have to say, Obama deserves to lose.

    Goolsbee for Press Secretary!!!!! woot woot!!!!

  • At least you recognize that the average person lives at the mercy of the wealthy, and is subject to their dominance.

  • sure, but it's not black and white. power is a nuanced thing; in some ways we live at the mercy of the proles, too.

  • david: so if i understand your logic, the rich should be left alone to gouge the poor because if they are taxed they will gouge the poor even more.

  • mccain cosponsored legislation that wouldve privatized the oversight of freddie mac and fannie mae...and it died in committee

    please...he wanted the foxes to guard the henhouse

  • "There are more information on the back of a box of Fruitloops"- Did him nasty!!!

  • this was the funniest thing i've seen. the box of fruitloops line just about killed me.

  • @ :38

    Goolsbee was thinking to himself, "Oh no he didn't!!! This fool is trying to clown on me. I'm going to bust this guy up"

  • McCain is a McDonald's Double Cheeseburger. I fall for the $1 price tag sometimes and I always regret it later but I keep thinking maybe this time will be different. It never is. They both give me heartburn.

  • "I shutter to think....John McCain would think if the fundamentals of the economy were looking a little iffy"

    Classic
