President Obama motorcade Downtown Los Angeles

[mikeemerylevesque]

what with all the white cargo vans

[ghisfrederic]

american people are racist enough; waouuh they can talk about something without refering to skin color or ethnic origin; it's annoying, that's why US will collapse soon(latina people number is growing and will be the majority). Look, in france if you are talking to people and making reference to their origins they can hit you, we are more civilized. I have heard about it, but now I am convinced that US people more racist.

[rdmo83]

America has a racist past, and racism still exist here—as it does in all other countries. In your very ignorant comment, you say this country will collapse soon. And you further say Latinas will become the majority. What the hell does that have to do with anything?

[ghisfrederic]

Without China bail-out, US would collapse. That's why clinton&Obama are sucking chinese ass so they can agree to take US treasury bounds to save US from collapse. Do you understand? Ask honest people they will tell you China is leading the economic world right now. China is building its military already, in few years it will be able to crush US.

[rdmo83]

The subject of economics or military history must not be taught there because you don't seem to understand them. The US is "sucking chinese ass" because it's trying to be more diplomatic. And China would be the one that suffers because of a US collapse. No one here is opposed to China becoming a superpower. That would prolly be a good thing. Since you seem be certain that the US will collapse, show mathematically or explain like an educated person how this will happen.

[ghisfrederic]

"No one here is opposed to China becoming a superpower" LOL, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. If you think China as superpower would be your friend, you are wrong, china is building its military ties with russia because it knows that an imperialist empire as US doesnt want a counter-superpower. Obama gone to russia because he understood that russia is no longer the old one from 90s(georgia war showed how Bush was screaming, and the world seeing and laughing).

[rdmo83]

Why do you have so much hate ? And why do you think you know so much about world affairs ? Finally, China is growing, but it's not a superpower. The US and Russia had a war to gain to that status. Look around the world, do you see Chinese music, culture, sports, films, president, military, or businesses impacting the world? No, you mostly American. It over a hundred years to gain that status. Now you think China will get it overnight ?

[rdmo83]

There so much wrong this comment. I'll respond to everything you mentioned:

(Without China bail-out, US would collapse) When did this happened? Was there a secret bailout we missed? China owned US treasury bonds before the the collapse. And China is worried about the stability of the US economy because I would lose call of its investment if the dollar continues to lose it value and the US debt continues to rise.

[rdmo83]

This is a diverse country, and represents all races and political views of the world. As you can see from recent economic events, the collapse of the US will be a collapse of most other nations. When the French people learn the technique of applying personal hygiene products and honoring the country that saved the European continent, they can be considered civilized too.

[ghisfrederic]

Aaah, you sound delusional. You can not smell good, wear fabulous, eat good meal,etc. without french products(chanel,louis vuiton,cacharel, Augier every wine & champagne as "cristal", good vacancies "st-tropez or french riviera", etc. list go long). One thing we know about US is "big mac" that make yall fat. Yes, another thing , US knows how to steal oil using war (oil thieves in irak). bastard people.

[rdmo83]

Are you serious ? Now I know the truth; you envy the United States. Before there was an Iraq war or a war on Terror, you had your mind made up that the US is a too powerful of a nation. The war gave you an excuse to complain. You're obviously facinated by this country. Thats why you watch a video of the American President being cheered by the American people. You should visit the US. Then you would probably understand why this is one of the greatest country that every existed.

[ghisfrederic]

I am not fascinated with US. We have free health care insurance, a month paid vacancies, good foods, wine; we dont live with debt. We know savings(obama recognized it) that's why us people were homeless few days after wall street crisis. People have fake good life in your country I mean they live with debt. You are exploited by richers on the name of capitalism. We live in a capitalist country with social rights. Any american who visited there like to stay there: it's your top destination

[rdmo83]

I visited France, it's a beautiful country with lots of history, but I hated the food, could care less about your vacation, health ins, and wine. If France is such a great country with social right why are there so many riots from the Muslim or youth community?

[ghisfrederic]

Riot??? I have a culture of expressing our rights: workers strike, etc. We dont let people exploit us. French history about riots is too long to list there. We are the people to crush its king at public place because we didnt like exploitation. We are a laic(no religious symbol) state. No bible or coran at pres inauguration. No religious symbols at federal offices. So we dont accept head-covered muslim women. We are courageous to do that. Not like Obama trying to suck muslim world. The truth

[ghisfrederic]

problem for you is the conflict between palestinians and israelis. Without solving that issue, all these obama's muslim ass sucking will fail & there will be terrors against US without every knows Israeli as US supports

[rdmo83]

Okay, I see you love to argue. Which is good and I respect all points of view. But I think you're wrong on the US and Obama. I should invite to the US; you would probably not want to leave. So, we can agree to disagree.

[rdmo83]

You have your revolutions, strikes, and violent protest. And we go to the ballot box and vote for chance.

[rdmo83]

There's religious freedom. We have a constituion we prohibits discrimination and establishment of a state church. That's probably why so many people around the world would give up everything to live here.

[ghisfrederic]

Ok, good for you. For sure I can not feel secure in place where I have people with head-covered (you can not see their faces). We have religious freedom BUT not at federal offices(a laic state rules). I dont hate US, I am just telling the truth: We dont have most great richers(wall street) but we are happy with our capitalism style (everyboby can live without money or richers dictature). Every french knows if he wants to exploit people and have money he goes to US and come back to live there.

[rdmo83]

Well we have a choice were to live. All people around the world are welcomed here: the rich, the poor, gay, straight, atheist, religious, conservative, liberal, pro-American, anti-American, black, white, fat, skinny, ugly, beautiful, talented, untalented, educated, and uneducated. They all come together and make this an awesome place. Once that goes away, then the US will prolly lose it power and influence. If not I don't anything changing about its superpower status.

[ghisfrederic]

READ THIS AGAIN: Every french knows if he wants to exploit people and have money fastly he goes to US; and come back to live there.

[snakespunkzband]

ok wats this

[ghisfrederic]

"could care less about your health ins" THAT'S WHY poor Obama is fighting ALONE to help yall against insurers who are exploiting or crushing people.

[rdmo83]

Did you see the word "your"? Thats your French insurance I'm not concered with. I don't waist my time worried about domestic issues in France. Obama is not fighting alone, he's the most powerful, popular man in the world. And why do you say "exploiting or crushing"? That's capitalism.

[ghisfrederic]

"And why do you say "exploiting or crushing"? That's capitalism." OMG, do you live in US? or have you a TV? Obama said: 45000 people loses their insurance every day in US(press conference). With insurance rate going high, or insurers refusing to take ill people.. That's YOUR capitalism?? I call it Exploitation or a crush

[rdmo83]

Capitalism is suppose to mean minimal interference, and allowing "economic nature" to take its course. Just like on a nature program we we see a lion kill and eat a zebra, the filmers will not interfere because it's nature. It's the same way with the economy, when people lose insuance and become homeless that part of economic nature. We live in a country were there balance between capitalism and socialism. We have programs to help the poor, just not as much as in France.

[ghisfrederic]

Good for you, you are lost when you think that ill people who cant be insured because insurers refuse = capitalism.

[ghisfrederic]

I am sure China will be strongest than usa in few years as if it has an interfering govt. Go Africa or south asia to see China influence growning in place. Or go to latina america to see by yourself.

[rdmo83]

Why dont you move to China ?

[ghisfrederic]

Tuesday, "CNN' situation room" reported about "Health Care Bonanza" in L.A stadium. We were laughing when we saw usa people standing in line, waiting to enter into stadium to have a free health care. Stadium was transformed in a big health care show, and patients were like beasts.

[rdmo83]

You have too much free time (unemployment) in France if you are watching CNN, and are that concerned about the US heathcare system.

[rdmo83]

I'm an uninsured college student and visually impared. I cant afford it. But, I understand that nothing in life is free. I can work for it or wait until there is universal healthcare. I would love to sit here all day and explain why this is the greatest country in ther world, but I have to go to class. We don't get month long paid vacations here, it's all about working to improve life. So, good luck to, and God Bless the French and Chinese.

[ghisfrederic]

Goob bless exploited people who are happy with that.

[geordany11]

great video

[korogaru213]

LOL the dude by the fire hydrant "it's here! it's here!" haha

[mastermalone]

I miss LA. This makes me home sick. If were still living there I would have been on that street corner.

[MsSterious323]

This was so exciting.!!! I work in the black and white building at 0:27. I watched him shoot a couple of hoops at the Miguel Contreras Learing Center after the town hall meeting. Then I watched him as he made his way to the 110 freeway. I was on the 25th floor so I got a pretty good view of everything.

[artikleblak]

[SickOfPunditsOnTV]
