Obama asks for bill to end insider trading in Congress

[dyad2r1]

BULLSHIRT! If Obama thinks his bill will pass, he's dumber than I gave him credit for. Congress is packed with people who practice insider trading - many, if not most, of whom are his closest friends. Sheesh.

[MrAGlobalThreat]

@dyad2r1 You're the fucking idiot. He basically called them out because he KNEW it wouldn't pass. He slapped them in the face and they all had to stand and clap for this man or look anti-American because of course they don't want that to pass. I hope you're not old enough to vote.

[killerxbeastx1]

Lol at the people who say obama wants to kill this country..Its congress that wants to do that.

[kryptic8956]

the bill will never be written.

[MsDaniJT]

Who yelled "Boo!"? And why haven't they been called out?



[NerdARGyle999]

"Alright, which one of you fuckers booed? Was that you, Cantor?"

[cj1207100]

bunch of fucks



[hazeee777]

censorship or youtube error? wtf is going on with this clip?

[WillAkana]

The video isn't working...

[alang020]

is this video NOT working for anyone else either??

[DeathStarRibs]

The really funny part is when they clap and Obama's face just says, "I just called you all corrupt.... why are you cheering?"

[KhazModan]

as a non-american this fills me with hope.

[trank31337]

WAIT WHAT IF I STILL WANT INSIDE TRAED?

[chucksanimeshrine]

It was Eric Cantor screaming "NOOOOOOO!"  He postponed the STOCK ACT

[ring2ding]

Yay Obama! My hero.

[yourpolice]

Who was yelling "Noooooo", man, I'd love to find out

[Blacharrt]

did someone yell, "Boooooooooooo, booooooooo"?? or was that just me?

[eternalkaos]

@Blacharrt He was saying "BOO-URNS"

[Blacharrt]

@eternalkaos I listened to it again, and it sounds like "Woooooaaaahhh!"

[Robsshot]

Are you stupid ? He's on a campaign and needs votes. He demands bills that will never come and are unrealistic just to get niave people to vote again for such an asshole who signed NDAA and more.

Politics doesn't have power - money has. This system is BASED on money not on politics.

[KingShroomstein]

@Robsshot

If you think Obama does things purely for one reason or another you're stupid. This isn't just a game to these people, most politicians really do believe that what they stand for.

The problem is that what they stand for can be very selfish and corrupt due to the system and lack of cooperation.

Everyone would truly desire to make the world a better place. The problem is that, yes, it's unrealistic and politics are riddled with problems.

[Robsshot]

@KingShroomstein yes. I'm not that stupid but obama wanting to do good is still part of the evil if u like to call it like that. Politicians are showmen who tell the people they have a "choice". Obama signed NDAA he doesn't have power. Dont't u understand this is a presidential campaign they always lie and demand unrealistic stuff there. Reality is far more comlicated than u could imagine and for sure it's not for just one thing so please think about it !

[krrrcht]

@Robsshot Obama's campaign mainly relied on many small-scale donations.

[Robsshot]

@krrrcht and if(!) that would be true that would change WHAT ?

[apophismynx]

@Robsshot You have no idea what all of the NDAA originally stood for before the republicans added that part you're complaining about. He is not the asshole you need to complain about. Do research before you try to rant something you clearly know nothing about.

[Robsshot]

@apophismynx do you really think I give a lesser fuck about what the republicans they first off I'm not amierican it's your country that's turning into a police surveillance state RIGHT NO also I republicans and democrats are the 2sides of the same coin is that too hard to understand ?:( So did you research NDAA ? Better do and it's not the only thing he did. But it's not HE who does it's the people behind him who let him do the show in the media.

[DeathStarRibs]

@Robsshot learn proper english, you're barely understandable

[cheezoncrack]

@Robsshot Telling by your grammar your country has a shitty education plan compared to america.

[kryptic8956]

@cheezoncrack calm down grammar nazi. America education system is one of the worse. Look it up.

[cheezoncrack]

@kryptic8956 No shit Sherlock. Thats how shitty his is.

[apophismynx]

@Robsshot Woah wait you're not apart of my country? Then anything you say is just pointless cause you have no idea what's really going on. 2 sides of the same coin you say? Alright I'll bite, what did the democrats do that was so evil? NDAA originally provided funding that was necessary to our military and service men. I don't need to research, you do. Oh you mean congress? Those people? Got'cha -.-;

[LunchAnderson]

Obama certainly isn't the Messiah, but there's no doubt he'll be the best choice in November. He would have had my vote had I been an American.

[Str8Bmxin]

lies

[TheWhiterose1603]

Can i ask someone from the US why Obama needs his secret service to protect him from his goverment. When he walked him the men were holdong back the people. Also why was he signing autographes at the end of the speech. It really amazed me, and made me think that if the president does not even trust his own goverment then that says a lot for the president & the country. It was more like a rock concert then a goverment meeting. Perhps in the UK we are too stuffy, it just surprised me.

[killerxbeastx1]

@TheWhiterose1603 Well if you knew anything about our congress, you would know it is full of redneck hypocrite Tea-party assholes

[TheWhiterose1603]

@killerxbeastx1 And in the UK we have Posh Etonions who claim for biscuits & porn and kiss the arse of the EU whilst opening our back door to anyone who wants to come and guess what we pay them. Maybe we should have a goverment swap like the TV programme wife swap. We give you Cameron for a month you give us Obama believe me you will be throwing more than tea into the Boston river.

[killerxbeastx1]

@TheWhiterose1603 Well, America was founded on pissed off Rednecks who didn't want to pay taxes....I think you will like Obama, It's congress that makes him look bad.

[MrSkubies]

*Sigh* You can already indict assholes in Congress, you just have a corrupt DoJ, so any new bill won't impact change, also, do you really think that the people that are corrupt, will sign a bill that'll prevent them from being corrupt? Probably not... -_-

[Themariusgundersen]

That's to you all said Obama was stupid !

[GeneraIHide]

@Themariusgundersen thank you for your input. It amused me more than you can know

[whyILeftTheGOP]

Alvin Greene the former South Carolina Democrat Senate Nominee in the house?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[MrDrhugh]

why isn't this in place already??

[handsomebassman]

I had to play this twice because I didn't believe my ears the first time.

[TheHadukken]

Bunch of freaking hypocrites.

[rancidsauceable]

No, that was air escaping from his folds of his fat.

[haeresy]

All Talk...and "you can take THAT to the bank."

[MandieLee5683]

Apparently Nathan Explosion loves his Congressional insider trading -

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

watch?v=zfbK_dbsCu0

[swkninja]

That guy screaming no is so scared he won't get his pay offs...

[acoolj99]

Obama just got a little more liberal

[drawme916]

Apparently, the Congressman who yelled "no" found time to dislike this vid.

[glennwiz]

did anyone see the ninja?

[ponder2006]

Apparently Reddit has been here

[nic11112]

I don't like commenting on dislikes, but since there is only one... we can only assume it was vader

[drawme916]

@nic11112

That Congressman has too much time on his hands.

[donpoppito1]

@nic11112 2 now.  Vader must have told the Emperor.

[Iechinok]

This was probably done because SOPA's suspected of being a product of congress getting paid off by entertainment companies...

[Stoh13]

Press 7 for mid-noooooooooo

[letterstothemetro]

Boehner has this same perpetual scowl on his face at every SOTU, like someone is taking a huge shit in his Cheerios.

[chocobofarmer2021]

NOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOO . How about yes?

[colinbcolby]

The GOP is scared to death. Thanks to the internet age, politicians are going to have to do the right thing. hahahahahahaha Obama has 2012 locked up so hard I'm going to laugh when the Banker and the Adulterer debate him with a straight face. It's over. Good won over evil.

[MajorDude421]

Look at the people's faces. Can you count how many are corrupt?

[Mooglefrooglian]

Yes, I'm SURE that a member of congress is going to write bill for that. Yep.

[PHaTBcKsamoa]

Fucking hilarious! That had to be the most unenthusiastic standing ovation ever. Though it is slightly comforting, this statement should've been made before the crisis. Ron Paul 2012

[zyxeek00]

its a trap !

[Riceslayerrr]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(3 seconds later)

Nooooooo (Fainter)

[360felix]

Where was this dickhead when all the protest was going on? where was this dickhead of a president when the internet is being taken away? where is this dickhead when freedom is being taken away from people?

[Youshavingmedry]

@360felix he was in the back office jerking off to running a police state that gives out corporate welfare like candy

[Marakulous43]

@360felix Lay off the Alex Jones kool-aid pal

[RATAPWNZU]

insider trading?! what the fuck? why not ban ALL INCOME FROM OUTSIDE CORPORATIONS

[tazer95]

@RATAPWNZU One step at a time.

[RATAPWNZU]

@tazer95 why not just kill all birds with one stone?

[finnbro]

[TheDaisyCastillo]

the standing ovation was sarcastic

[novazee]

Did anybody actually screamed, NOOOOOOOOO! Lol

[Spectr4L]

NO GOD! NO GOD PLEASE NO! #Michael Scott

[kdrogba]

reddit >>> youtube

[VanCan23]

@kdrogba Wow education is wrong in there.

Reddit=/=Youtube

[onefijian]

Noooooooo NOOOOOOO nooooooooooooo :*(

[Faroskalin]

This is a good clip.

[dieyoung]

Just like how he said he would bring all the troops home? Or that he wouldn't sign the extension of the Patriot act? Or NDAA? FUCK YOU OBAMA

[mclovin1911]

@dieyoung Really? He never promised to bring all the troops home, and the NDAA? I assume you have done no research into what NOT signing that would cause. Get off the bandwagon and think for yourself.

[dieyoung]

@mclovin1911 He didn't? Watch this ... /watch?v=8VlXfs1K04g And as for NDAA not getting signed, what would have happened? You are the one on the bandwagon dude, and youve had a little too much kool aid to drink.

[killerxbeastx1]

@dieyoung If I am correct The War in Iraq ended...READ SOME NEWS. and he isn't superman, he can't wave a wand a fix these problems over night..fuck you

[llieske]

Can't tell if "Noooooo!", or "Heyooooooo!!"

[nbuse32]

man it seems like those top comments came straight from reddit

[rodertjenkins]

@nbuse32 Gotta get that Youtube karma, you know?

[ee2012]

So... this is the part where I have to pretend that I'm happy about you taking away my future dozen yachts?

[SteelCityDucati]

Maybe one of the best things I've ever heard him say.

[thatsmyaibo]

@SteelCityDucati Yeah, because he's done everything he's promised...

[MrCritic12]

Damn that standing ovation was awkward.

[SomeDayisEveryDay]

@MrCritic12 What part of this whole event isn't awkward?

[SomeDayisEveryDay]

@MrCritic12 What part of this whole event isn't awkward?

[PureLolz468]

@MrCritic12 They're all awkward in Congress.

[bobbarob]

Lol @ Ron Paul supporters saying he's different from other politicians.

[PullyElbow27]

@bobbarob He has disastrous economic views, but he is the only politician that is not bought or sold by banks, the Chamber of Commerce, or other huge industry leaders.

[bobbarob]

@PullyElbow27 There's that too, but I'm more turned away by his homophobic, racist, and sexist views. He's probably also a xenophobe and a transphobe while we're at it.

[detaono]

@bobbarob the way i look at it, and the only reason i'm voting for him, is that his extreme views on issues i disagree with will most likely never pass, because it's isolated in a small corner of support, while the issues i most agree with might be possible. Therefore i'm voting for him most likely.

[scenr0]

@PullyElbow27 He's got the nerve to go against the norm of the big brothers breathing down his back. That takes balls man.

[TheTomBombadill]

Ron Paul or revolution.

[Marakulous43]

@TheTomBombadill So it's YOU people that are buying all the guns like crazy

[Totalnewbie002]

RON PAUL 2012!!!

[Totalnewbie002]

Says the man that spent 1 billion on his campaign

[tylerbrainerd]

@Totalnewbie002 yeah... that's not insider trading though.

[Marakulous43]

@Totalnewbie002 Stop lying

[MrFrenchyfry]

Apparently Darth Vader loves Congressional insider trading - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[ESAMMEX]

They give him a standing ovation because they all know he's just as crooked as them, and this is nothing but lies to appease the average American.

[3treU]

Obama you rape the country and now who pay the price is every American citizen, thanks to this guy America won't have any more resources by the near future. I just hope who really can fix it the problem is Ron Paul by 2012. He is the only candidate who wants to give to the people more power from the federal government.

[pattachan]

@3treU Unless you're homosexual or a woman. And then Ron Paul is just like every other politician in the US, wanting to be in your Vagina or in your bedroom.

[TheBrandond20]

@3treU what kinda facts are those lol

[Mikesquito]

@3treU It's hard for one man to clean up all of the previous President's shit.

[detaono]

@Mikesquito correction

it's hard to clean up the previous congress's shit. Bush never had a republican congress except when everything was going peachy (his first two years), obama however did have a democratic congress during a time of stress, and he was still unable to deliver during that democratic congress.

[1Arrdak]

Ron Paul 2012. United we Stand.

[hazemvirus]

ya except you forgot that the congress is full of fat bastards who never care about anyone or anything but their pay check!

[PoliticallyJack]

@hazemvirus not everyone is, most of em are sadly Including your messiah Obama.

[suckmysockmonster]

@PoliticallyJack

yeah, because Gingrich, Santorum, and Romney are much better people. Ron Paul? dont get me started on how terrible an idea that is.

[PoliticallyJack]

@suckmysockmonster Actually I do wanna get you started I'm sure Ron Paul is not perfect but what is it of him that makes it a terrible idea? How is following the constitution and not starting wars foolishly a bad idea? no really I wanna know

[suckmysockmonster]

@PoliticallyJack

other than he hasnt even read the damn thing, to start. he doesnt believe in separation of church and state, his views would give the corporations MORE power, and he wants to cut funding to scientific research. handling everything ona state level will let the states rule of too many controversial subjects. bye bye, gay rights, bye bye, pro-choice. it'd be a confederacy in all but name.

the guy has a few points I can agree on, but try some critical thinking here.

[PoliticallyJack]

@suckmysockmonster your right buddy lets do SOME CRITICAL THINKING HERE, so you say his views would give the corporations more power lol well first of all let me ask you this who are Obama's top contributors for his campaign? Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Citigroup Inc,Morgan Stanley (to name a few). Oh yea Obama claims to hate the rich and yet bankers and HUGE corporations support him, that is completely logical right?

[PoliticallyJack]

@suckmysockmonster your right bye bye gay rights under a Ron Paul presidency and you know why? because Ron Paul sees everyone the same we all human beings we are all individuals so "gay rights" would not even be relevant you know why? Because we would all have the same rights gay, straight, white black, yellow whatever. Meaning that gay people would be allowed to marry.

[GeneraIHide]

@PoliticallyJack The rights would fall under state jurisdiction...Only the Fed would have nothing to do with it

[PoliticallyJack]

@suckmysockmonster bye bye pro-choice you say? well Ron Paul is a christian whoever he does not believe in shoving his believes down people throats. Giving power back to the states you know what that means? it means that WE the people would be better represented. Also he doesn't want everything to be handled at state level. You say states would rule too many controversial subjects? well controversial how? maybe some states would legalize prostitution or say marijuana.

[Aaberg123]

@PoliticallyJack

You do realize that Paul does not believe in the separation of church and state via the 1st amendment, right?

[PoliticallyJack]

@Aaberg123 You do realize that is completely wrong right?

[Aaberg123]

@PoliticallyJack

No, I don't realize this. I read H.R.539, and to me it looked like Paul would deny federal courts from prosecuting state/church violations on state level; having them only prosecute on federal statutes.

[PoliticallyJack]

@suckmysockmonster yes that is controversial to some people, but why does it bother you? AS LONG as you are not hurting ANYONE you are allowed to do to your body what you want. I could go on and on and on. but i gotta go. Also for the record I was an Obama supporter in 2008 and I used to think exactly like you. Then I realized that is stupid to fight among us when bullshit smooth talking politicians keep on screwing us.

[workingmen1]

the motherfucker cheers
