  • Obama is one of the great president i've known.

  • @southsideoverlord Did the creator state that we do not have the right to protect ourselves? No.The USA takes in more immigrants every year than all countries combined.Have you heard today about the newly discovered terrorist from Pakistan that is roaming around the US?Living in San Diego, we have a huge middle east pop. here is very little stopping anyone from crossing our Mexican Border and just blending in without anyone knowing his/her true intention. We have the right to protect ourselves.

  • @PenultimateRun I know you are, but what am I.

    Just wanted to show you how imature you sound.

    God bless.

    Ever notice how your Obama used to say that but stopped. Red Skelton said that after every show because he really meant it. Unlike Obama who used to say it because he knew most Americans wanted him to believe the way they do.

  • @PenultimateRun Yep what I like about you and your friends is that you never name call, belittle, smear or lie. "they just don't give a damn about America" How many of us have you spoken to, 1000's, 100's, 10, any?

    I for one love the great country. Obama does not or atleast could not as he has gone around the world calling the US names and saying he is sorry for our awful past. He does want to fundamentally change America. Into a country he and other Progressives believe is the only way.

  • @ Marksnotebook: Yeah, Barack Obama is a radical muslim, and not a U.S. citizen, right??? I guess you have seen all the previous presidents' birth certificates to make sure they were American. Oh, that's right!...they were White, no need to. Nevermind. By the way, I guess if Obama is an alien, Sarah Palin must the reincarnation of Virgin Mary...just instead of a Bible, she brought a riffle and some moose stew. Sure she'll make a fine president someday...in Mars where she belongs!

  • If there ever comes a day to get the liberals to leave this country I'll be right in line to kick their behinds out. I am resolved to stopping this mad man in our people's white house. He is a communist. He is a radical muslim. He may not even be a U.S. citizen as we have never seen his birth certificate. And what do normal people do when their household is over budget? They cut back on spending! It is no different in government. Common sense lacks in the liberal mind.

  • no one is LENDING you chuckle head and no one is HIRING,ITS WELLFARE you ASS...lts YOUR falt...stop blaming the OLD government I am SICK of hearing it's someone else fault...get your BONY ASS TO WORK

  • @wetweasel56 Maybe because no illegal immigrant has stolen my job yet...in any instance, why don't you tell it to someone who cares about your opinion??!!

  • @azucarmoreno2892...that's right! "Yet" but they will under the present rate at which they ARE stealing jobs.

    Trouble is, by that time it's way too late to turn it around.

    If you don't care about my opinion then why did you reply?

    Go back to school and learn something before you start thinking out loud.

  • @wetweasel56 You go back to school, and learn your history for a change. There have been illegal immigrants in this country since the colonizers (1st illegal immigrants by the way!), it is not a new thing. Some of you are panicking now because of the high unemployment rate, but immigrants often do jobs no Americans want to do. Ya'll were not complaining when you were getting cheaper labor for certain services (housekeeping, landscaping, construction, etc), and NOW it is an issue?? Please...!!!

  • @azucarmoreno28921.... you have to have a country first to be illegally in it. When the first Europeans came here there was no country, no borders, no government. The Indians didn't own this land anymore than anyone else.

    Watch how many of the job openings that come up in AZ will be filled by Americans that you say won't do them.

  • @wetweasel56 It is convenient that, although there were such things as Indian Nations before the colonizers arrived, because the social aspect, culture and way of governing was very different from that in Europe these nations were discounted by colonizers. When Europeans arrived they took over lands that were already occupied, by force often, annihilating entire tribes. As far as immigrants, they wouldn't work if someone wouldn't hire them. Who's the real culprit here employers or workers?

  • @azucarmoreno28921 They do not work for less and they know "our" labor laws better than most American employees. I am not a racist by the way, my wife and her very large family are from Mexico four generaltions ago.

  • @bnjones28 Is this on of those "I have Black friends..." comments? Is that supposed to make me feel better or validate your opinion? I think you are still missing the point. This country has been built on the backs of immigrants, legal or not, and many Americans benefit from illegal immigration or else it would have been stopped long ago...

  • @azucarmoreno28921 How can the first people coming here from Europe be called illegal, there were not laws? What do you know about Mexicans coming here to work, do you own a business, have you ever hired 100's of people? I have and these Jobs you talk about, dishwashers, bus boys (server assistants), farm workers have unemployed white people working at and looking for these jobs. Now being a Liberal you will now say I am not telling the truth or I might be talking about a very small sampling.

  • @bnjones28 You are a fuckin idiot. Why dont people like you ever blame the people/business who hire illegals instead of attacking them all the time? If there where stricter punishment for people who hire illegals this issue would be solved end of story

  • @bnjones28 You say you've hired 100's of people...I guess I'll have to take your word for it...as far as what I do or do not know let's not make assumptions just because we have different opinions on a subject. But going back to the issue, sending all the illegals back to their countries would still not solve the unemployment crisis, so what is your proposed solution ???

  • I am sure unemployed people appreciate getting an extension on their benefits NOW and debating the "how to's" later...it is easy to criticize every measure the government takes when one is not in the situation of needing those benefits. To people worried about making another mortgage/rent payment or putting food on the table an extension of UI is a basic necessity. Both parties need to figure out a way to work together for once and for all, for the sake of the people.

  • The more I hear and learn about this radical in our people's white house the more I am determined to inform everyone how evil he truly is as he is now using race as issue to get all the minorities angry so they will go to the polls this fall. But to anger 18 percent of the population and alienate the rest won't cut it. The majority is angry and we will take back our country from this evil person and his cronies. Democrats are communists!

  • If you would like to see how the country has either grown debt under Republican Presidents or Democratic Presidents I would suggest you google ...National debt by U.S. presidential terms...You ,(if your not blind)will see that with each Republican president the debt grew out of control while under the Dems the debt was reduced..Those are facts Mark says

  • @sjcpal Mark says I think you need to read the polls this fall as people revolt against this Hitler like character in our people's white house. Full speed ahead on stopping this radical communist who is destroying our beautiful country. And may all you American haters leave our country. In 2006 the budget deficit was about 200 to 250 billion. Today under Obama its over one trillion. So much for BO.

  • @sjcpal And Mark continues......during Reagan's time 22 million new jobs were created and the amount of taxes that were collected by the treasury more than doubled over his term. The increase was due to more people working who paid taxes. The way to stimulate the economy is to put people to work and then they can pay taxes. The way to stop an economy is to give handouts like BO is doing. Spending our way out of debt is insanity. When your house budget is too high, you cut back.

  • /watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw&feature=p­layer_embedded#

  • You liberal nut jobs have go to get a grip. BO is not going to save you so get over it. If you dems think giving more money to the poor and lower class is going to get them out of the hole, then why has it not done so after 50 plus years of welfare handouts? It has not worked because people dig themselves out of the hole with hard work. Unemployment benefits do not need to go on forever. Many years ago there was no such thing as unemployment benefits, yet people somehow managed.

  • @TrollBuster9090 Not true. The Bush tax cuts were for all people. Anyone who makes at least 35 to 150,000 dollars or more benefits from the cuts and hey! So what if the rich get a break. They worked hard so they deserve a break, too. The rich pay a lot in taxes. You cannot give money to poor people just to balance out the scales. God will take care of the true compassion issues within hearts and minds which is something no government can ever touch nor should even try.

  • @barrinmw Mark says as I go way back here you have deliberately angered many people on this site. You thrive on chaos. Its obvious just like a damn communist anarchist I have never seen so many lies including your lie about how spending went down in the mid 1930s under FDR. You damn liar, FDR's big spending did not get into full swing until mid 30s. He did not take the oath of office until Jan 1933 and his programs did not get into full swing until the mid 30s. You are lousy liar

  • I wish all you libs would take a look at my channel favorites on the actual words BO said about his Muslim faith and arab background. This monster could care less about you all. He's rich! He's exactly what you were taught to hate! He plays golf every week. He vacations in paradises that you can only imagine about. He plays you against each other just to get your vote. If he really cared he'd stop the spending and false promises. He is not the Messiah libs! 

  • @Marksnotebook Lol I watched the first two minutes and had to stop, I was laughing too hard. :) I like the disclaimer at the beginning. Puhleez that video is weak tea. Republicans suffer from mass psychosis!

  • @Marksnotebook You, Marksnotebook, seem hopeless. Your hate speech is disturbing and does not make for reasonable conversation. It makes your opinions on the issues seem so worthless. Sorry, that is my opinion only. I appreciate truth, and diverse opinions. Lies just are crazy and misleading.

  • @karen4215 Mark says as I took a peak at your channel its so obvious you love Obama so naturally you are going to defend him. You are another person who needs to learn about our rich American History which this President despises. If you want to talk about hate, take a look at the real Obama, who is full of hatred for our country as it is now. He is deliberately destroying our wonderful nation and yes, I despise that fact and will not shut up.

  • Here is the solution. 1. Cut way back on spending. 2. Start up the fair tax so the people can say how much they want to give the government. 3. Phase out SS but pay out one big lump sum to everyone who has paid into the system plus a fair amount of interest. 4. Quit spending money on new schools. The building does not teach the child, the teacher does and get better teachers! 5. Drill baby drill and get rid of OPEC and all others. 6. Cut off all benefits to illegals/shore up border.

  • @Marksnotebook 1) end the wars, save $ 2) no tax on the first 200,000 dollars of an income (400,000 married, p.s. let gays marry) and a graduated tax above that. 3) laugh at Republicans who think ss is a bad idea. 4) understand that environment is an extremely important part of an education 5) find alternate energy and reduce our reliance on foreign oil. 6) abolish the CIS (INS for old timers) and open the borders completely. 7) reinstate the fairness doctrine.

  • @sphygmu Karl Marx we do not need. Communism does not work. And this fairness doctrine....lets get the facts out about this one...IT means that anytime a conservative does radio a liberal must have equal time and if a liberal cannot be found, then all shows are cancelled. THAT is not fair. Let the free airwaves broadcast whatever they want, when they want and how often they desire! The only reason why you want this doctrine is to stop talk radio conservatives who are successful.

  • @sphygmu We do not have any cheap alternative fuel that can power this country. If we drill our own oil which has been extremely cheap and useful for the past 100 years, we'll see cheaper fuel, less dependence and more power to our people and more jobs!  The solar energy is too expensive and does not work in the northern states. Windmills are a joke and are ugly. And we don't always have wind!

  • @Marksnotebook I have to disagree with you on windmills, they are fantastic looking machines and an efficient addition to land typically used for grazing herds or for growing fodder. Oil is dirty, just try turning on your car in a closed garage and you'll quickly find out how toxic those fumes are. Truthfully energy needs to be coming from many sources including 'green' wind, solar, hydro, and tidal generator sources. We're a long way from getting off oil. Ditching the SUVs would be a start.

  • @sphygmu  Mark says OH I knew you'd disagree with me on windmills. You are totally predicable.

  • @sphygmu Mark says you are the most unbelievable human I have ever met on line. I have met liberals before but some make sense. You are so brainwashed and so full of shit its pathetic. But its typical Obama voter. You have no right to take any SUV away from any human in this country. Its their choice to drive whatever vehicle they desire. Government has no right to start taking things away from people!  commie!

  • @sphygmu Mark says yeah and if I said the Moon is white you'd say its black. Windmills in Europe have been seen to break and fly off sometimes and that is dangerous. The wind does not always blow. Windmills hinder farmers who fly planes to spray crops...again dangerous. About 680,000 Megawatts powers this nation. Of that amount only about 5 to 7000 megawatts comes from windmills. And what happens if the company goes broke? Then who will take the damn things down?

  • @sphygmu Since oil is so dirty miss priss, don't ever drive a car again. You preach constantly so live by it. 

  • @sphygmu Again, don't go telling people to ditch their SUVS. It is their right to own a car, truck, SUV, a van, or whatever. That is what is called Freedom to choose. You cut off freedoms. BTW, how do you propose to stop the Chinese and Indians and other countries who are now drilling in our gulf of Mexico just 90 miles or less from Florida?

  • @sphygmu Do you really think that if you got into a garage and turned on your keys in your car and sat there that the fumes would be toxic for you? I have a feeling you have already done so and got out just in time to keep all those toxic fumes within you.

  • @sphygmu Mark says speaking of purity as you preach, we had best add no free sex either because STDs and HIV is rampant today and that is dangerous. Should we try to regulate sex, too? It would seem that under your pure ideas you'd definitely want that? Or is that OK, to infect people? Let me know.

  • @sphygmu NOT everyone wants a windmill in their field and farmers are the main ones who would have to deal with these massive things. I know many farmers. I was raised on a farm. Many do not want the windmills for many reasons. How do we deal with that, Mr. or Mrs. Smarts? Should the government come in and tell the people who is going to get the windmills and who won't, disregarding any feelings for the people of course! Government reigns supreme in your world!

  • @sphygmu OPEN BORDERS COMPLETELY? I have never met any liberal who has a brain who has ever said that. That is total anarchy. And just let the drug runners from Mexico to continue to kill our citizens who live near the border and bring in more drugs, thieves, and inhumanely treat illegals in cages or hot vans? IS that what you desire you damn fool! The devil is in you. He surely is. SAL ALINSKY relative go home!

  • @shalcall Mark says during the great depression FDR spent many millions of dollars on big government but all through the 30s the great depression continued despite that fact. Big government is not the answer. Big government is the problem. Capitalism and work is what makes America tick and chime and fine tune itself. And NO we will never have full employment. But it can certainly get better if we stop this insane spending by BO!

  • @Marksnotebook We've been through this before. Your spin on FDR is simplistic and misrepresents the economic realities of the time. It was the secession of spending that drove the recovering economy of the mid thirties back into depression. Of course despite that we went from 20%+ unemployment down to 9% unemployment. Had they ignored fiscal conservatives that unemployment rate would have dropped to around 5% at least 5 years earlier.

  • @Marksnotebook If you believe that, tell me, what brought us out of the Great Depression?

  • @shalcall That's a no brainer....it was largely due to exports abroad brought about by the beginning of WW2...until 1939 there was no end in sight for high unemployment and monetary stagnation in spite of all the New Deal spending by FDR....SecTreas Henry Morgenthau said as much before the US Senate

  • @Armigerous So you don't think that the MASSIVE government spending brought on by our involvement in the war had anything to do with it?

  • @shalcall Not really....by the time we entered the war unemployment was down drastically and industrial production in real terms was back to nearly the level it was before the depression began...and that was due almost solely to increased orders from overseas for weaponry,bulk foodstuffs,and other war related materiel

  • @shalcall Mark say see I knew you had a trick question but I'm too smart for that from you liberal idiots. The spending of the government began under Woodrow Wilson but then the roaring 20s were great under Republicans. FDR spent so much money but the depression continued throughout the 30s. Why ? If massive government spending is so great then how come the depression lasted during FDR's entire two terms in the 30s? WHY? You cannot answer it.

  • @shalcall Mark says WE the people did. Capitalism. Without people government does not exist. The entire private enterprise of shipbuilders, oil companies, airplane companies, munitions plants, private detectives, private patents, scientists, farmers, small business people...even Hollywood. It was the production might of our free enterprise and government allowing it to flourish freely that worked so well. And I have more to say so continued..................

  • @shalcall Mark continues....the people united for a common cause on the war. When the people unite and work hard for a common cause which was to end the war, things work pretty well. And our empire was just beginning at that time so many products and services were not yet tried. Many issues contributed but it was not the government spending or the government that got us out of the depression. The people were united against tyranny and the results were amazing as we know.

  • @shalcall Mark says and yes imports to Britain and Russia and so many other countries helped a lot. Our businesses got many overseas deals during ane after the war and America became number one as Britain's empire was ebbing. Britain took the socialist road and look what happened to them. We kept up capitalism and for 40 plus years kept the Soviets in check. America stood tall and proud after the war and business flourished in the 50s.

  • @Marksnotebook you have an amazingly shallow knowledge of U.S. history. I'd ask you to look at some of the policies implemented by the FDR administration in the run up to the war and ask yourself what you would call those types of programs today, including pay freezes and a virtual take over of our manufacturing capacity.

  • @shalcall  NO, another of MSNBC news brainwashed masses. You people are pathetic.

  • This Muslim radical knows he is in trouble with all polls.  So he's pitting people against people. When a dog gets a bone every morning he knows to wait for it every morning. Same with people unemployed. When they know they will always recieve unemployment benefits, they won't go out to work. They get lazy. The more the government gives away to people, the more they want. BO ..you failed. You know this so quit blaming everyone else when its YOUR FAULT

  • @Marksnotebook Perhaps you have never been in a situation that has left you unemployed through no fault of your own. Your selfishness and lack of empathy are disturbingly common among Republicans. This delusion that unemployed workers are inherently lazy is not only callous, but also shows you are unwilling to consider the mental damage and depression that loosing a job or a career can have on a person. It can take months to recover. Yours is a sick mindset. I pray for your soul.

  • @sphygmu How long should we the people pay for the unemployed?

  • @sphygmu Mark says how long do we the people continue to issue unemployment checks to the unemployed? Will 2 years make me not selfish? Or will it take 3 years until I am not selfish? Or perhaps my entire lifetime? LOL

  • @Marksnotebook Until they get a job, or die trying though I'd love to see a greater emphasis on helping the unemployed find appropriate jobs faster. 2 years seems like a reasonable time, but that doesn't mean I'm adverse to it being longer on a case by case basis.

  • @sphygmu OK you answered it but as usual without any clarity. Do you ever answer anything with clarity? There is no moral clarity within you.

  • @sphygmu Mark says why don't we do it your way and just let them have their welfare checks forever, OK? I give in Mr. Government! I am so sorry for my sins and selfishness against you, Mr. Obama! Please dont hang me like Hitler's hinchmen did to those who despised that government!

  • @sphygmu ALL good things must come to an end sometime, dear. 

  • @sphygmu Mark says one more time...........how long should we the people keep issuing unemployment checks to the unemployed? How long before we are told we are not selfish? Should we support these people forever? You tell me since you are a liberal and you feel you have that right to say when compassion begins and ends! That good ole feel good liberalism! Yah gotta love the government at work to get your hard earned dollars forever!

  • @sphygmu Mark says say something new as you have said this time after time after time.

  • @sphygmu  Mark says you have yet to answer my question as to how long we should continue to pay for the unemployment benefits? I'm going to keep asking this question until I get an answer, lib.

  • @sphygmu Mark says AWWWW.........................­.I feel so sorry for the poor poor wonderful unemployed people. We must give them welfare checks so they can stimulate the economy! Afterall, its the poor who create jobs according to you! We must have lots of liberal compassion for them or we will be told we are mean! I am a conservative republican so I am really a mean person and so selfish. Goodness gracious! I am so sorry Mr. Government... for I have sinned against thee!

  • This is all about playing the race card as BO did recently.  Now its get them GOPers with unemployment insurance..how mean those GOPERS are! And OH that big oil! How nasty! GOP is for rich. These are tired old democratic arguments designed to polarize the country and get the poor and minorities to get out to vote for a democrat this fall. It is NOT going to work this time.

  • If the citizens of America aren't able to spend their money to help stimulate the economy, then it falls to the Federal Government to spend money to get people back to work, saving or reducing debt, and to help build the Average citizen's disposable income. It would be insane to wait for 'market forces' (i.e. the boogieman) to haphazardly get things going 10 years from now. But that's what Republicans want to do!

  • @sphygmu Mark says you contradicted yourself. You claim that it would be insane to wait on the market forces to haphazardly get things going 10 years from now....but yet you want the government to spend the money to get people back to work? Where in the hell do you think the money from the government comes from? Are you so stupid to believe as that black gal did when she said about BO, that "now I won't have to pay my mortgage or my power bills anymore!" insanity reins supreme here.

  • @Marksnotebook The funny thing about improving the economy is that it also increases tax revenue. That's basic economics. Why wade through 10 years of misery when we could be jump starting it now. (or could have jump started it months ago) Oh right, Republican obstructionism...

  • @sphygmu Well you have it right partially in that tax revenues do increase as the economy improves, but its because people are working and production is up..thus the private sector creates the revenue and not the government. Government would not exist if people did not produce for government to take. Its that simple. And the less the government takes, the better.

  • @sphygmu Mark says furthermore if the citizens cannot spend money, then the government needs to stop spending OUR money. Cut the spending and give some tax cuts. Cut the social justice crap. Its communist by nature and communism sucks. Cuba is a mess. There is your example of communism and what its capable of doing to a great nation.

  • @Marksnotebook See the thing is that the recession hasn't hit everyone equally. Personally I think we are all in it together. I still have a good paying job and it doesn't seem very likely that this recession is going to affect me personally. But when I was a child my father was laid off from an engineering firm and it took him 14 months to find a new job. That's the reality of highly specialized workers, there are only so many companies that need your skills.

  • @sphygmu So we take or rob Peter since he's richer to pay Paul since he lost his job? It was not Peter's fault that Paul lost his job. You cannot blame one group of people just because they are rich. Rich is not a bad thing. Being poor is not a bad thing if you try to work. All people are equal in my God's eyes. But God desires all people to work, too. There are bad poor people and bad rich people. A government cannot regulate wealth or change people's hearts.

  • @Marksnotebook It's called a social safety net. I honestly hope you never have to use it, but it is there for you nonetheless. It is there to provide for basic needs: food, water, shelter, clothing, energy, heat, and communications. It is not there to make you rich but to help individuals and families in times of need. It's sad you're too selfish to see a value in that.

  • @sphygmu A recession does not ever hit everyone equally! Equality is never going to happen to everyone as human beings are not perfect! When you were a child something bigtime went wrong somewhere. NO doubt about that.

  • I need some intelligence here. I have been to many websites and many you tube sites but some of the people on this site are about as ignorant and just downright stupid. We have people who believe unemployment insurance should last forever. We have people who believe the death tax should be 80 percent. We have people who believe BO is not spending enough money. We have people who believe that spending will bring forth a recovery.  In my household we cut back on spending to save money.

  • Progressives are trying to institute many of Karl Marx’s policies, in part because they have no concept of Liberty and Morality, but mostly because they ignore the lessons of History; in particular the Holocaust and the Holodomor. They like to tell you that the reason Socialism and Communism fail is because it hasn’t been tried under the right conditions yet. Marx, himself, believed that it would work best in a country that would have been at one time the very seat of Capitalism.

  • Obama’s illegal anti-science czar, John Holdren, is now officially on the record admitting that Obama’s cap-and-tax economic suicide plan (devised by major Obama campaign donors like BP) is about nothing more than “spreading the wealth around.”

    Holdren insists that it really won’t annihilate our already teetering economy like everyone says, ”it’ll just take mountains of wealth away from our economy and give it to those of developing countries (i.e., global redistribution of wealth).

  • This is Barack Obama’s economy, and it’s his insanely suicidal policies that are preventing job growth. His administration has not saved or generated jobs. The 300 ‘green’ jobs at a lithium battery factory were paid for lock, stock and barrel by your taxes. At last count, these miraculous ‘green’ recovery jobs cost Americans like you and me a bare 500,000 dollars per job.

    The ugly truth is, . . . millions of jobs have been lost and Americans need real leadership that’s going to work.

  • @geofiles Mark says thank you very much as I heard about this failure the other day myself.  It is so true both here now and in Europe which is sinking deeper into debt, but even in Europe they are cutting back now as BO is spending more! You should see the crazies I've dealt with on this particular site. One lib says its fine with him if the death tax goes to 80 percent. I need some brains to talk with.

  • @Marksnotebook Europe is coming out of it's debt crisis, mostly because there is no equivalent to the Republican party in those countries: a party that would choose disproven ideology over helping real human beings. It's too bad the Republicans are bent on obstructing American recovery.

  • @sphygmu Mark says Europe is actually cutting back on spending because they are out of money! Even they know they've gone too far. But Greece is broke. Spain is near bankruptcy too. You don't know what you are talking about. Its only the Germans who have a conservative that are cutting back on loans because they know they have to stop spending money!

  • @Marksnotebook All three of those countries have a strong underlying economy. They're in a very different position to America which has lost much of it's manufacturing and industrial base and has significantly higher unemployment rates.

  • @sphygmu As Reagan use to say with hecklers...........OH SHUT UP!

  • @sphygmu Mark says tell me something.......could a society of people function without any government?

  • @sphygmu As I've said before, why don't you go work for BO and kiss his ass. You remind me of the devil's angel and perfect for BO. You follow your marching orders to a Tee.

  • @sphygmu  YOU are totally a class warfare person who deeply desires to demolish anything good from our past that has worked well. You hate this country as it is and you would love to see it destroyed. It is so obvious. Or are you Sal Alinsky's relative?

  • @sphygmu Mark says Europe is not coming out of its debt. Greece is broke and Spain is near there and many other nations are close to it. Its because of the spending that the countries are in trouble. Its too bad we have so damn many communists and socialists who keep spending us into hell. This fall you will see that the GOP will win control. And I will be back to rub that right in your friggin face. You can count on that!

  • IMPEACH OBAMA NOW

    The Obama Administration exemplifies maladministration. It qualifies as the poster-child for bad behavior.

    Obama and those around him are ravaging this great country and adding a sorry chapter to a noble history.

    Impeachment, as written in the Constitution, was tailor-made for Barack Hussein Obama and our Founders placed it in our Constitution for such a time as this.

  • IMPEACH OBAMA

    In other words, “high crimes and misdemeanors” does not refer to a criminal act (as some would lead you to believe) and our Founding Fathers fully intended to allow for the removal of the President for actions which were… well… simply put… egregious… grossly incompetent… grossly negligent… outright distasteful… or, in the case of Barack Hussein Obama, actions which clearly show “malevolence toward this country, which is unabated."

  • Take a look at this moron in our people's White House folks. Do you really think he is sincere? Do you believe he's Christian? Do you believe he has our best interest at heart? Did you ever wonder why his wife did not go to Saudi Arabia earlier this year? Sharia law is all over Saudi Arabia and it states a leader cannot bring his wife to a country. BO was adhering to his Muslim faith. He's a damn communist! He could care less about anyone who is white or common.

  • @Marksnotebook Tee-hee you put Muslim and Communist in the same paragraph, get a grip. Talk about loosing any semblance of credibility.

  • @sphygmu If you only knew how stupid you looked but you're so damn brainwashed into believing this "Messiah" stuff that you cannot even think for yourself. Tell me something.....do you get a tingle up your leg like Chris Matthews did when he listened to Obama speak during the campaign?

  • @Marksnotebook The question is, as things improve will you recognize Obama's role or dismiss it as a coincidence resulting from outside factors? You can disagree with the policies, but can you find it within you to recognize any resulting successes?

    BTW Chris Mathews is a special kind of weird. He said of Fred Thompson: "Can you smell the English leather on this guy, the Aqua Velva, the sort of mature man‘s shaving cream, or whatever, you know, after he shaved?" weird...

  • @sphygmu Yeah, I will admit it, because it won't improve until this idiot is out of office.

  • behind you all the way. Obama!

  • @TrollBuster9090 Mark says I might add that who in the hell do you think will pay for all this borrowing as Obama has done? WE the people. If a person has more money in their pocket, they will spend more and create jobs and if they save more they create their own future's stability. I hope you can understand that. We need less taxes. We need less spending. IT is the spending that Obama is doing that is killing this economy. Spending must be stopped.

  • @Marksnotebook It would be factually inaccurate to blame Obama for the tax policies and bank bailout that occurred under bush yet continued to affect America well into Obama's first term.

  • @sphygmu Mark says you don't seem to get it. I agree Bush spent too much but nothing compared to this idiot. This character now has created a budget deficit of 1.3 trillion dollars as of now. In 2006 during Bush's second term, the budget deficit of this country was 250 billion. Do you even know how much 1.3 trillion dollars is?

  • @sphygmu Mark says you are what many conservatives call an "Educated idiot"

  • @Marksnotebook And people who refer to themselves in the third person are what psychologists refer to as narcissists.

  • @sphygmu Mark says the only reason why I use my name when speaking is because it is easier to see who said what. I don't like the way You tube does the rebuttal process. I like clarity :)

  • @Marksnotebook mark you sound like the guy on seinfeld , who always talks about himself in the third person , pretty weird ...but then listening to your conversation to yourself I can see where you are coming from weirdo, If you think Reagan who grew the debt 189% when he was in office , ruined the Unions ,and cut taxes on the top 2% of the wealthiest in the country , was good for the country you're just nuts

  • @sjcpal Mark says you need to back up your 189 percent and all else with facts. I can back everything up I said by referring you to many well trusted websites, encyclopedias, books, and even You tube. I don't pay much attention to loony lefties like you.

  • @Marksnotebook

    Mark speaks just like Herbert Hoover in 1930. Is he one of your role models?

  • @barrinmw And btw, the republicans controlled congress during Clinton's last term in office so they helped keep the spending down, bud. Don't forget to tell the whole truth. And we had 911 in 2001 so that cost this country dearly and naturally the deficit went up. It was Charles Chucke Schumer, Senator of NY who pushed real hard to get Bush to spend 10's of billions for NY and Bush did. Democrats LOVE to spend our hard earned money.

  • @Marksnotebook The deficit didn't go up because of 9/11 (there were still surpluses at that time) the deficit was created by the Bush tax cut for the wealthy without a corresponding cut in services. In fact spending increased with the onset of the Iraq war. Remember the Iraq war had nothing to do with 9/11.

  • @sphygmu Mark says here is what the Bush Tax cuts meant: 1. They cut the first tax rate of 15 percent to 10 percent. This meant that the first 6,000 dollars of income, even if that is all you made was cut from 15 to 10 percent federal tax. 2. Capital gains tax was cut from 28 percent to 20 percent. This meant that anyone who bought a house and sold it 5 years later for 50,000 dollars profit paid only 10,000 dollars in tax instead of 14o00 dollars. And there is more to come....

  • @sphygmu Continued Bush tax cuts....Before Bush tax cuts if you were married and you made together about 90,000 income you paid around a 1200 dollar marriage penalty tax. After the Bush tax cuts the marriage penalty tax was eliminated. And the farmers and ranchers and small business people who employ 70 percent of our people got a death tax break and now they won't pay any death taxes until 3 million. But that will expire at the end of this year, thanks to BO. GOP will win this fall.

  • @sphygmu Mark says you people are so brainwashed, so stupid, so ignorant that most of my friends tell me to don't even bother posting on here. But I want people to see the truth and to see how crazy you liberals really are and how UNINFORMED you truly are. And BO and you libs are going to get the surprise of your life this fall after the elections.....you can mark my words on that one as I will be back to rub that in later in NOVEMBER!

  • Gah, its like arguing with a monkey, they have no idea what you are saying and they just fling $*%# at you. I'm out.

  • @barrinmw AWWW, are you tired of your own lies and fantasies bud? You are a young whipper snapper who has a lot to learn yet. You made a damn fool of yourself on here and I hope someday you will see how stupid you really have been. Scroll down and look at your stupid remark that even many liberals don't go this far when you said you wanted the inheritance tax to go up to 80 percent! Thank God you are only a minority voting block or we'd be through.

  • @Marksnotebook The inheritance tax should be very high for the very top 1%. Not sure that I can place an exact percentage, but 80% sounds to be in the neighborhood.

  • @sphygmu Mark says there should be NO inheritance tax on anyone, period! Government is not the solution. Government is the problem. A recession means your neighbor has lost his job. Depression is when you lose your job and recovery is when BO loses his job! Amen!

  • @Marksnotebook The best way to start a revolution is to let the rich get too rich while the poor suffer. Of course a lot of decent people would die in the process. Better to tax generational wealth than to let an upper class form that believes it is inherently superior to everyone else by virtue of birthright.

  • @sphygmu Mark says you cannot regulate who should have money and who should not have money. Its impossible and no government can do this fairly. Since the beginning of time all kinds of people have become wealthy for as many different reasons as there are flowers. Its not going to change now. Work hard and do the best you can and don't be jealous of anyone who has more than you! Government is not the solution. Government is the problem.

  • @Marksnotebook It's not about regulating wealth. People who work should be able to amass wealth. Period. What I object to is someone who has never worked a day thinking that they are inherently better than others simply because their father or their grandfather or their great grandfather became very wealthy. It's unamerican and certainly not what the founding fathers had in mind. America is supposed to be a meritocracy not an aristocracy.

  • @sphygmu Mark says get over the person who inherits wealth! Its none of your damn business whether they are rich or richest in the world! Our forefathers were not poor. Washington, Adams, Franklin, and many other framers were wealthy. AS I said before, poor people do not create jobs. Poor people do not rule the world. They never have and they never will. Hard work pays off. That is the point.

  • Unemployment means spendable income opposed to no spendable income.

    Business needs customers that have spendable income.

    No unemployment insurance

    Lose homes & become part of the homeless

    Is that the America you want?

  • @ONEIDEAATATIME The America I want is one where the government GETS OUT OF OUR LIVES. People want jobs, not hand outs.

  • @usam1981 The government really should get out of peoples lives and let anyone marry who wants to marry. It's a travesty.

  • @sphygmu The real american people disagree with you, and for once the government is listening. It is a rare thing, but I am not complaining.

  • @ONEIDEAATATIME Unemployment Insurance is actually one of the tools that government has that automatically helps soften a recession without needing government action. Its really cool.

  • @barrinmw Mark says can you get any more stupid than you already are?
