  • "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

  • all sounds good but will Goldman Sachs allow you to acheive your goals. they dont care about America

  • @hernzicus they don't care about anything or anyone... just their own wallets and bankaccounts... welcome to capitalism

  • The early 20th century American social critic and humorist H. L. Mencken, known for his "definitions" of terms, defined a demagogue as "one who will preach doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots."

  • Demagogy (also demagoguery) (Ancient Greek δημαγωγία, from δῆμος dēmos "people" and ἄγειν agein "to lead") is a strategy for gaining political power by appealing to the prejudices, emotions, fears and expectations of the public — typically via impassioned rhetoric and propaganda, and often using nationalist, populist or religious themes.

  • If you will notice he merely uses faulty logic and Sophistry and deflects criticism of his policies with empty rhetorical appeals.

  • Ground Zero for this "MESS" is the Affirmative Action in Lending Act. Which forced banks to give mortgages to people with bad credit simply because they were black. Thank you so very much ACORN.

  • obama is simply this

    If you want to see the economy turn around listen to ron paul kill the fed control our cash flow. Let a free market exist and keep the govt out of our lives

  • OH NO RIGHT WINGERS!!!

    The economy is slowing getting better!!]

    WTF are you going to do? Better create some FALSE FLAG terrorism to distract Americans!! Or try and catch Obama fooling around!

  • You libs are so stupid...Don't your realize what the elitists are doing? Bush and Obama are all the same! They want total fed control (NWO) why do you think they have these new taxes huh? To give them more control!!!!

    Sorry but, I am to lazy to sit here and write a whole paragraph...

  • First of all genius you're not going to convince ANYONE by insulting them. Second of all you buy into this NWO hogwash b/c someone told you to. It was a George Herbert Walker Ideology that has run it's mile. It's hackneyed and you buy into that propaganda bullshit b/c you don't agree with them, well boo hoo, get used to medicine for people who can't afford to die either.

  • F-U Obama we given u enough TAX MONEY!!! FREEDOM!!

  • point blank, we need to get this guy out of office while there is an economy left. America tried government stimulus before and only results in weakening the economy and inflation. If he gonna spend money, at least let it go to something that will actually help the economy, not those damn AIG bonuses.

  • im only 15 yrs old but from what i know is the what the bush administration did was not right tax cuts and war at the same time isnt a good flow

    how else are we going to pay for the war when we are getting tax cuts

    i hope change is coming because my generation is going to pay for it.

  • Now I am not trying to be offensive in any way but my personal views as to why this economic mess started goes back to the 1980s with the Regan Administration. It was his administration that tore apart several government programs most, not all, but most of which were needed to help the country function. With massive deregulation, tax cuts, and the borrowing of free capital, this led us to ecconomic free fall in 1988. This is very similar to what Bush's policies were and look where that got us.

  • Damn he's good liar. Feels so friendly and honest while lying disgustingly. Very good choice for a puppet.

  • RUN A CAR ON WATER

    Can you run a car using water as the fuel source?

    Yes, you can!

    Stan Meyer did this in the late 1990s. He ran his water-powered car across country. The Orion Project now owns his invention for proof & research.

    Paul Zigouras did this with speed boats, and so did Bob Boyce. Google: Paul Zigouras Panacea AND Bob Boyce D9 PDF.

    Technologies like the Stan Meyer Water Fuel Cell hold the answers to new jobs, clean energy & water and free energy for all!!!

  • "All we are sayin', is give water fuel a chance" . . . I'll put my muscle Mustang against your water car anytime, anywhere!

  • Well then mister Pres. why don't you vote down social programs and capital gains tax bills... oh wait you can't because you're the democratic party's puppet. You're nothing but a figure head. You won't do anything to help. Your party does any and everything to hurt and strangle free enterprise.

  • How can Democrats rescue us from a mess they created?

  • How can you say the democrats created this mess? That is honestly laughable considering you are a fomer marine you obviously have an education you know who has been in the white house the last 8 years and who has created this mess single handedly and who called the shots and put this nation under the circumstances we are under. Everyone who isnt deaf dumb and blind know you may not like it, but make him take responsibility as it seems he hasnt had to yet, its repulsive what bush got away with

  • The free market just need to correct itself.The Government has no place in control over something that should naturally occur when it has gotten this far out of hand. They could take back and control the flow of money though.Something that Congress should never have lost control of.

  • All of these things he is talking about will cost money from the taxpayers. We are already 10,000,000,000,000 (i think that is ten trillion) in debt from overspending now. Overspending is what got us into the mess we are in now and he proposes more government spending. Can you imagine what the interest payments must be on that amount? I don't want to.

  • its getting harder an herder to get to your recent comment to my replies because you keep digging yourself deeper in your own bull.

  • I will respectfully ask you to Google; (national debt clock or ticker) and see for yourself how much more we are spending than what we take in. It is clear to a reasoning mind that this bailout is foolish and will seriously devalue our currency and individual buying power for years to come. I call the debt numbers, facts, you may see them as bull. I guess we just disagree.

  • >SPAM

    >SPAM

    >Go away Barry -- we're sick of you already!

  • This whole Wall Street Bail out has opened my eyes. First the S&L Silverado Bail Out ($161 Billion - Clinton) and the "reforms and regulation" to make sure it never happened again. Next, the Mexican Peso Bail Out (Clinton) and now this massive bail out. All the same, to bail out Goldman Sachs' Henry Paulson. Obama's pick for his chief of Staff ($16 Million in two years of work at an investment banker) and pick for Treasury says, "don't worry boys, it's going to be business as usual."

  • Obama, known throughout the world as America's "House slave", really should go back to Africa.

    Why?

    1. Obama hates white middle-class Americans.

    2. Obama voted &or supported(s) every legislative bill to make white middle-class Americans UNEMPLOYED.

    3. Obama is your typical Negro, foreign, terrorist LIAR.

    Obama hates seeing himself in the mirror since he knows he can never be white.

    The American people should send this Negro Terroist back to Africa where--he--belongs.

  • Now I understand, 2.5 million unemployed people will get jobs doing manual labor building roads and schools and working on wind farms - how interesting. White collar workers who lost their jobs to offshoring will now be working with shovels and hammers.

  • The reason white collar workers lost their job is due to two factors: 1) They are white middle-class Americans and 2) they are over the age of 40.

    It has very little to do with outsourcing.

    Because the politicans are corrupt and do not enforce the laws there is 1 and only 1 solution:

    "Get out into the streets and demonstrate."

    Anything short of this is meaningless.

  • Hmmm..., I just read that Obama is going to do a big fat flip flop on his election talk about raising the taxes on people who make over $250K. Guess it was all just more political lip service.

  • thank god for obama.

    my children will grow up in a world that america is leading in everything

  • I am a lifelong Republican, however, I must say that nothing Obama has said is wrong or inaccurate. I think that you can't spend your way out of a recession, and that the government has never created a job or an economic boom. Expect more Clinton type policies, saying one thing during the election and then more conservative policies after taking office, i.e. extending the Bush tax cuts. Obama is NOT STUPID. Don't make the same mistake that the DEMS did with Bush. God Bless America.

  • I guess you make over $250K a year. Well, most of us do not and we need a tax break.

  • How about you make it your first order of business to prove your elegibility and hand over your documentation to the courts.

  • He steps in front of a camera and talks in vague terms, gives no specifics and everyone praises his name. hell why not, it worked in the campaign. Obama has a certain sinister quality to him. he talks in such broad terms and nothing he says is very specific, yet the people bow before him and worship him as some sort of freaking Messiah.

    Obama's not gonna magically save America any more than Kerry would have won the Iraq War.

  • korriken...if you think HE is scary...watch the errors being taught by his OTHER puppeter: Oprah!...watch the YouTube videos:...The Gospel According To Oprah's Friends...and Marianne Williamson Movie One...these gurus are teaching a updated hitler/2008 dogma....resulting in NO OTHER RELIGIONS or churches and the people in them?...(never explains this part of the Jews and Christians...who will NEVER accept the "vibrating brains" and space aliens as leaders) google: "Plajarens" ..listen and LEARN!

  • How can you be specific when you haven't been sworn in as President and still have cabinet post available??

    I don't understand you people...??? The man hasn't been sworn in yet and most of you have sworn him off... He deserves a chance to fix America just like very President has tried...

    None of you know what he has in the works because you're too busy guessing it's all bad and sinister...

    Greed of Wall Street, overpaid UAW, Republicans, Democrats, all responisible for this mess..

  • I agree with you mostly, but when in the Senate was controlled by the dems, they did nothing, just like the repubs did, they all did nothing.

    You cannot "hope" and wish the government to fix problems for you.

    The government is worthless. The government only takes our money by force and then wastes it.

    What happened to the war on poverty and drugs, Katrina and the likes. It all comes down to people helping people. The Government is not the solution to our problems

  • I'll agree with you on those remarks.

  • I have to give a big amen here, a big one, someone who understands alot and doesnt let the big picture get away well said

  • At least it's better than just mailing everyone a check and inflating the currency. I just hope he spends as much time on increasing spending efficiency as he does on spending level.

  • When you spend money you don't have , you are deflating our currency and everyones buying power. He proposes lots more spending which will mean even more borrowing and more interest payments to the Chineese, who hold most of our debt.

  • I can only praise the idea as a lesser evil.

  • so, you ever seen anybody get out of debt without spending money?

  • That logic flies in the face of reason unless you get lucky in Vegas on a credit card advance. "When you rob Peter to pay Paul, Paul will always be your advocate" The taxpayers are Peter and the bailout recipients are Paul in this senario.

  • Wow a president getting in front of a camera and posting on Youtube, talk about innovative.

  • that is accountability showin we finally getting our moneys worth in a president .thas noble and responsible of him to answer to the public like that.instead of that jackass bush thumbing his nose at taxpayers!

  • It is not accountability unless he tells us how much more we will have to go in debt to implement his plans.

  • what should that matter we already up to our eyeballs and sunk in debt why obama got to look like hes the bad guy for tryin to get us out of the mess as best he can.he don't owe nobody an explanation for a mess he did'nt create and hes not even officially president sworn in yet.

  • His party has controlled the senate and the house for the last two years and failed in their oversight of the finance and banking industries. Bill Clinton started the sub prime lending to underqualified buyers during his term. Obama voted for this bailout while taking hundreds of thousands of contributions from wall street and the unions. Now he will pay them back with a taxpayer bailout. Some change. Bush and his people were also asleep when this happened so there is enough blame for all.

  • yout alk tooo much bullshit man!!! do u have a money tree? cuz if u do let me get some money!! we need change but not the way u plan...ill bet any1 that all u doing is wasting ppls time!!!

  • The more the Gov gets involved the bigger this mess is going to get. Socialism = Economic Death

  • where else in the world would this happen? maybe he will reach the 18-34 year olds and they'll remain involved in politics.

  • fuck off this guy rocks.

  • haha a youtube channel now FTW!!!

  • I'm waiting for this guy to tell us he's also got a pill to cure cancer. He keeps on talking about how 'we' can solve all of the problems but he never tell us how we can do it. Hello - new roads, schools requires money and to work on the jobs you need to be a union carpenter, plumber, road worker... So now 2 million Americans will become employed in unionized physical labor jobs built with no surplus of money. Sounds like more and more political bullshit to me. Maybe he's also got a money tree.

  • What other choice do we have but to give him a chance.Bush has done ruined this country and someone has to try to fix it.I have total faith in him.

  • The Democrats have had the house and the senate for the last two years. Their job was congressional oversight of the banking and financial institutions. I guess they should get their part of the blame.

  • republicans had it longer before them not the democrats fault that they coul'nt yet get us out of the deep hole they republicans dug the damn hole they dug was too deep

  • The Repubs were also asleep. The last two years was when this all started unfolding and the Democrats were in the congressional oversight role. Dodd got a favorable mortgage from one of the companies he was supposed to be watching and taxpayers have bailed out. Frank is on record saying that Mac and Mae had no concerns regarding these shaky loans. Use the Utube search a plug in Barney Frank and listen for yourself. Don't trust what I say, look for yourself.

  • Quack,Quack,Quack!  Quack,Quack,Quack! Lame Duck.Quack,Quack,Quack!LOL!

  • Obama's re-election campaign slogan is that the economy was already fucked up.Well that ain't gonna play,jack.You caused it with your fannie mae bullshit so let's see you get out of it.Yeah,start with raising taxes you fucking moron.

  • ahh i hate this fukker.

  • Good. I hope you eat your heart out...lol

  • you obama people should look at the Washington Times on page 5 11/17/08 and send in money so abama can afford a good lawyer lmao

  • lol...eat your heart out loser...

    I am loving this!!! You lost the white house.

  • Oh, that is so old and is this all you can say? LOL You voted him in. Let's see how proud you are, when he takes our most important rights away. By then it will be too late. Then you be denying, everything he said in the first place, saying he changed his view. No, you were just too stupid to realize what was really going on, and how he will damage us and the country. Gloat now, you'll be crying later!

  • (@ menana2u) Please elaborate on you moronic statement, "take our most important rights away." I didn't know that a president had the power to do that? and what rights would that be? What do you think Obama want to some how turn white people to slaves? Also please tell us whats really going on since were too stupid to know. I was raised under the banner of each one, teach one... so since I'm too stupid, please enlighten me.

  • You know what, if I cared what you thought I might answer. Sounds like you're looking for a fight. I only have calm intelligent conversations and I think that's gonna leave you out of this one bud. Go drink some more Kool-Aid and hoep you get some indigestion, if you don't already.

  • thats what I thought, Ignorance pure Ignorance... I only asked you to elaborate on your "moronic statement" I didn't attack you personally, just your statement. you came back at me with personal attacks... your talking out your ass and you don't even believe that shit your saying.

    The Typical Ignorance of youtube

    "I only have calm intelligent conversations " that's really funny

  • See how funny you guys are ... I pinpointed how you guys went trillions of dollars in debt in 9 yrs. on top of what you had before and all I got was excuses. America is where we all us funny foreigners want to live but america does not seem to be a republic like it states in your constitution. Democracy is not even in your document. I like you guys Ben Franklin. Your Ben Franklin said if they offer you democracy , beware of the wolf in sheeps clothing. Goodbye , from the funny foreigner.

  • I sincerely believe in America...I wish I had all of the opportunities you people have ... why do Americans take everything for granted?

    I still think you all people are funny. Well not funny somewhat pathetic. Why does your country say you are the strongest nation and you your government doesn't even print its own money? Your congress by your constitution says they should but you people are in debt to the FEDERAL RESERVE. Us funny foreigners know your laws better than you guys do.

  • carlolucky - not all americans are pathetic some do know our constitution and are fighting for our country but have a huge battle on our hands because of those you made reference to. And not all of us take what we have for granted. There is good and bad everywhere. And Amen to your quote by Benjamin Franklin.

  • you Americans are funny.... you guys argue over the silliest things while your country goes deeper in debt and you blame everyone else but yourselves. Your country went 2 trillion dollars more in debt on top of the debt you already had in 9 years. All over 9-11. Which cost the high jackers some box cutters, a passport, and a plane ticket. But you guys argue over silliness. Hopefully one day you will live up to the things you tell the world that america is all about. I hope soon!!!!

  • You foreigners are funny... You guys think it's accurate to just clump all of our government's decisions and actions together and apply it to everyone in the country. You seem to forget that America is not just a global political entity, but a nation with individual people who have minds and ideas of their own. Don't you dare associate me with this corrupt government that I have no control over. Just because Bush took us down with him doesn't mean we wanted him to.

  • reading the comments ...helps me see why Americans are so in debt. You people believe it is everyones fault that your country is falling apart. I thought you people have a congress that can over-ride any presidential decision. Why do you people believe one man can help you...you must help yourselves first. I just don't understand Americans!!! You are a hopeless nation....hopefully you people will get your act together and learn your laws.

  • Carlo, your observations are well taken. Congress should be able to override the president, but we just had a president who had no respect for our constitution. Hopefully a president who'll be tried for war cirmes and treason and subverting the constitution. This year only %46 percent of the country were idiots. Some of us are educated, its just that the idiots are more vocal and have no shame.

  • austingunner - If you voted for Obama you are one of those idiots. Just because he is "democrat" doesn't mean he can't lie and fool the people, Clinton comes to mind. There are not 2 parties only one, they are playing both sides and aparently Obama has no more regard for the constituion than Bush he hasn't even proven he is an American citizen. Good old Obama, 9th cousin to Bush, will continue the legacy of the past 20+ years. Watch and see. And I am not republican!!

  • you are right there is one party with 2 names. I think Obama should be given a chance though. How has he not proven citizenship? He was born in Hawaii, was he not?

  • Look into it. He would not produce his birth certificate and there is a dispute as to whether he was born in Kenya or Hawaii. There are currently lawsuits pending on the matter. The fact he would not produce documentation would signify there is something to hide would it not? And for all you redistribution of wealth lovers look up the Global poverty Act which Obama supports. Who says the wealth will be distributed here in America?

  • humanity-look that up instead

  • Dont you just love socialism? Bye bye free market.

  • Some people need to just be educated. With the U.S. free market you have full reign of potential for corupption and greed to take over. people cant be trusted. the whole let people be completly free went out the window since alot of greedy bastards dont know how to take whats needed and not desired. If america is going into socialism then it deserves it. America has a long history of greed an curruption. Time to get the spanking.

  • Socialism? The free market is a lie. Right now tax money that comes from normal Americans is being used to bail out corporations owned by billionaires who feel they're above taking the inevitable loss that comes after years of short term investments. When they were making massive profits did we see anything extra? WTF is wrong with you people that defend this? How is that a "free market"? If socialism means spending on services for real people, then sign me up.

  • I'll tell you how people can defend our "free market" they're fucking sheep grazing at the feed lot known as Wal Mart and who think that Sarah Palin actually has something worthwhile to say...people who are suspicious of professors and intellectuals who spend their lives trying to deepen their understanding of our world and hold anything intellectual in disdain but who celebrate the "folk wisdom" of who have nothing but contempt for science and reason

  • I respectfully disagree. I think what got us in this mess was the "inside the beltway crowd". They all talk in an echo chamber. They all go to the saame places and live in the same areas. They alway get their paychecks if they work for the government. How could they pretend to understand the average taxpayer and how they might feel? I liked Palin, she was a breath of fresh air from someplace other than Washington. All that comes from there is spin and hot air.

  • and bye bye america as we know it.

  • bye bye America as we know it....sounds just fine to me.

  • Brand new barack obama vido by tc please go take a look at it post comment thanks.

  • How can"We the People are Winners" when the man isn't even Pres.yet!! He "Promises" so much to us,that it is nearly impossible to keep those Promises. Those who voted for him,don't be shocked when he can't deliver what u wanted!!

  • its the exact same story as when nightmare rulers came into power... hitler did the same thing.... came in at a time when germany was in a bad state.... promised all this "cahnge" and look what he did. get ready.

  • As all the right wing douchebags have told us leftys for year. If you don't like it, fucking move. Anyone with an education and any grasp of reality would not compare Barak Obama to Hitler. The problem is this country is that there have been too many nut jobs turning out to vote for iincompetent dunces like Bush and Reagan. Soooo in the interest of increasing the population's IQ, please do move.

  • There is absolutely nothing in Obamas' past that would lead one to the conclude that we will be screwed in the future. Quite the contrary, Obama stands behind his convictions, and follows through on promises. But, in any case, neither you nor I, can predict the future any better that the electoriate did on 11/4/08. He won, we the people are winners!

  • I am going to scream!!!!I have a friend who is a contractor and just told me that some of the guys he works with told him they have stopped making their payments on their house. Not because they can't afford it but because they think Obama will bail them out!!!!! You people are all idiots and the reason why we are in this mess. You are dishonest, lazy, idiots. I wonder how many other idiots are doing the same thing. Obama is not going to save you and you will destroy our country. Thanks Obama!

  • are you for reals?? they stopped paying theyre houses 2 leave it 2 the president?? but dont they kno, that the real value of the 'MONEY' comes from working?? dam man , d president should make a national speech,telling every1 2 work!! or else america has no future. i heard somewhere that"its not what ur country can do for you,its what can u do for ur country?",sorry i dont kno 2 much bout d crisis and politics,but this reccesion crap is getting 2 me.

  • "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" We would be able to get out of this mess if everyone lived by those words. thanks for reminding us of them.

  • If most Americans had even an ounce of the integrity that hydrocitg has we wouldn't be in this mess. Let's all be the Americans we're supposed to be and pull ourselves up by our boot straps and take responsibility for our lives being grateful to live in this country and do our part to improve our situation not whine and say government save me!!Thanks hydrocitg for the great example!!!

  • 2 changenow777,i cant really express myself on how thankfull i am to you, thank u dearly my friend 4 understanding,n for complementing me,yes together we can all strenghten this country, we need 2 help this country so it can help us back, im glad theres people like yourself that has his eyes opened, i know that theres corruption in this country(within the politics)but despite of them,it just takes a litle bit of effort,n sum patriotism frm every1,to achieve the unthinkable,tankz changnow77 :) ;)

  • my bad i meant 2 work and pay our debts..

  • we do not have prospering anything not just stock market

    How are you going to help middle class ? certainly by not raising their taxes , right?

  • Negativism breeds defeat. Bush got us into this mess. The despicable acts of the Bush/Cheney regime have all but destroyed this once great country. Under Obama, the politics of hate and fear are over. Its time for all you hate-mongers to take a deep breath and relax. Lets give the man a chance.

  • What are you going to do give away more of the taxpayers money? JUST WORDS, JUST SPEECHES. Is Wall Street thriving? since when? The GENIUS of Barack!

  • I am so grateful that Obama and McCain spent 700 billion dollars to "save the economy". It only cost $4,500 for each American. And the rich wall street bankers will not lose their Farrari's and Mansions. I was really worried about them and did not want them to suffer. The Nation should suffer not them. They are rich and should be treated as such. Thank you again, Obama.

    Obama forever!!!

  • Hey Obama, glad you'll be doing something about this crisis, but after reading all these comments, I think I like what that guy said about "wake me when DC sacrifices." This is all interconnected. Ending the War in Iraq in a stable way will reduce the financial load on our gov enough to let us help our economy. Depending less on oil is an inevitable fact we need to face - and one of the main reasons is, if we don't, the strength of our MILITARY will suffer, thus our global power.

  • stpo it with the negative thoughts- instead focus your good energy to help!

  • They all promise change instead all weve gotten is war pay attension to how much change will happen this year and its not going to be the change oboma has told you about its going to be the change of power you governments are spose to fear their people not us fearing them so you choose who has the power now and I choose US all of US googlevideo Zeitgeist 2 if you want to find out how to take the power back

  • scell939..What makes u so dead right??

  • 47 yrs old, no experience, and now he's here to save the day for America? Freedom & liberty the world over are sure to suffer as our enemies take the measure of this man.

  • maybe you should ask Ron Paul what to do b/c obviously your dead wrong

  • dude shutup. just admit it mccain sucks! and more than half of america liked mcain. so suck it up u ass hole!

  • Yes,Obama Has the Gift of Gab. Can he really deliver on most or all of his promises?? This country will certainly find out soon enough!!

  • this guy is a new world order whore like the others

  • with all due respect Mr president America cant afford to quit using foreign oil! its not only addicted to it, it needs to keep using just to stay competitive economically. If America stops using the foreign oil, oil will become cheap and more purchasable for the rest of the world, boosting world economy while undermining American hegemony. Are democrats & republicans ready to do that?

  • Bail out the corporations!

    Obama you fking ass

  • Obama sure has his work cut out for himself, after the pile of trash BUSH created. I myself did not like Obama, but then again I also did not like McCain. But heres the final line people. Obama IS our next President, and we best stand behind him and hope he does what he says, and gets this country back on track. Get away from your TV's and media hype, and stand up for the country you love USA. Give the man a chance!!

  • ppl are realising now that the world is in an utter mett with the global warming beign so servere and the global meltdown economic crisis.its going to get a lot worse the word of God propheised this all will happen at the end of ays and ppl look up and always say now how did it get so bad.

  • Yay socialism! Now I won't have to start living in a dumpster!

  • I think it is time for him to start doing something real. We know he can talk. Even though he is not yet in the White House, he seems to be missing in action lately.

  • No it isn't - He doesn't take over until January.

  • lol wow people are talking shit about Obama and hes not even pres. yet. Fucking retards....theres alot of shit about dumbass bush...atleast wait till barack fucks up, lol.

  • That was awesome!

  • Oh,1 more thing,if your tiny brain can comprehend, Shoot yourself,but you'll probably miss,too bad!!! HAHAHAHA!!!

  • I will repeat myself once more. This financial mess Was CAUSED BY THE DEMS WHO WERE ALREADY IN POWER FOR 2 YRS!! BARNEY FRANK,CHRIS DODD,HENRY REID!! Yes, Bush didn't pay attention to what was happening, but the BLAME IS ON THESE 3 "Genius DEM LEADERS." Now this country has 5 "wonderful Dem leaders," Obama,Pelosi,Frank.,Dodd, and Reid!! Good Grief!!!

  • You are talking shit go and do the research arsehole,you wish but now the truth is coming out yeah let me repeat myself BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT THE DAMAGE WAS DONE BEFORE THE DEMS TOOK OVER, THE GOP set the LOBBYISTS GROUP UP IN 2005 fucken hello and yes a President BUSH that payed no attention to what his own GOP party were doing NO GET IT RRIGHT, besides thank the stars that BUSH and his cronies will be gone.WALL STREET IS THE GOP hangout yeah take a look at where the money went

  • Bush wasn't paying attention to what was going on,either!!

  • No Bush was a lacky for the GOP and dont blame the dems the damage had already been done.

  • Who has been in power for the last 2 yrs? DEMS!! The idiots that got the nation in this financial mess were.. BARNY FRANK,CHRIS DODD,HENRY REID!! They were allowing Freedie Mac and Fanny May to give mortages to PEOPLE who Could not afford them!! Then they had to foreclose or declare bankruptcy... Frank also told people that it was a good idea to invest in these 2 mtg.giants. HE AND THE OTHER IDIOTS KNEW THAT THESE 2 CO'S. WERE IN BAD FINANCIAL SHAPE. Can't blame this all on the Reps.

  • toaddress ?????????????

    No the Enquiry into both Fannie and Freedie found that the GOP hired a Lobbyist group to counter act any policy or regulation changes for both companys and that the Lobbyist group had acted as a silent enity so get your crap right and mostly that is how the Billionaires who appeared before the select commitee last week made their money and were all GOP contributors and Hedge finanicers pple were setup to fail before they even signed.The GOP greed got us here dumbass

  • This entire set of circumstances, from the black presidency to America fiscal crisis and consequently being shut out of the EU is eerily similar to a novel, Zodiac, by Neal Stephenson.

  • they are already shut out moron, they have never been in.and the black presidency as you call it is fucken racist arsehole get over it

  • oh please!! obama's doing more work in less than 2 weeks than bush did his entire first year! and we DON'T need this war, bring our soliders home and re-invest the $10bill. per month we're wasting on iraq, and put it back into the american economy. those of you that are still pushing for this war, one word for all of you: ENLIST !! please...go to iraq and practice what you preach! i'd rather have you die than our current soldiers.

  • Kevin Rudd said the same things when he was elected over here in Aus. Good to see USA is following our lead..

  • yup....it sounded just like one of carter's speeches.

  • "service and sacrifice." Haven't the American people done enough of that over the last century? Obama sounds like the teacher giving the "Iron Youth" speech from All Quiet On The Western front.

    Wake me when DC is asked to tighten it's belt and make sacrifices.

  • Quit smokin that glass dick and talkin that meth mouth bullshit. I dont see you doin anything but bitchin. I'm the kinda guy who likes to see things for himself. I dont see anything and you didnt wipe three times when you left the toilet and you sure the hell dont wash your hands.

  • Nice...the President that we need for a long time..keep the good work Obama

  • I haven't anything to invest anymore

  • Odingobama can kiss my ass . I will not provide "service " to his BS .

    Barry , you suck !!!

    Hey wheres Bill Ayers ?? He'd be good in your Dept of US Terrorists ..............

  • How is it that Spain, the 8th, economy of the world(in GDP)is not represented in the G-8 or the G-20? just curious. Seems strange to me.

  • All of these commenters yelling about socialism/higher taxes do nothing but back up Obama's position on the need for better education. It would be easier to take them seriously if they had the capacity to correctly write basic sentence structure with correct spelling.

  • LOL @ the stupid intro music.

    Let's see...he doesn't discuss the current Bailout debate in detail, doesn't take a stance against the FED doing a 180 and not being transparent for what will be over 5 trillion dollars being spent, and he says nothing about the impending G8 summit that might lead to a new monetary system and globalised banking structures.

    In short, just like in the election, this talking head is still nice and abstract.

  • @dumbfuck

    dude, he has been doing everyone a favor since day one then because he never discusses hard policy to his supporters. Did I say I supported McCain or Palin shit for brains?

    5 trillion is the projected sum when all is said and done, AP has reported that as well as the NY times, Paulson still says it's 700 billion but most analysits see it as it being close to 5 trillion in the future.

    Multiple governments are calling for a new global currency, take off your aluminum blindfold.

  • Wow you are one demented fuck. Seriously lol, I've never seen a clearer display of backwards psychology where you thrust your own little childhood sorrows at others.  Anyway, what's really hilarious is you didn't know any of the projected sums or news articles about the g8 summit and speculation of a new currency before I mentioned it, being you were completely dismissive, and then when I cited to you information you just perverted your idiotic comment to how it's unlikely to happen.

  • But here is the kicker. Go back to my first comment and show me where I said it "will happen", I never did. I simply described things that are being put in motion and "might lead" to it. Which Obama is abstract about as usual. You were just educated with new information, it scared you, and you went backwards with wild insults and trying to have the upperhand by saying you're skeptical (of something you didn't even know about lol).

    Thanks for the laughs dumbass.

  • I beleive in Obama and what he has to say. But it isnt only him I beleive in as OUR President it is myself and others around me, to acheive positive change within and without.

    And yes we must come together and help each other its the only way to get the job done. thank you.

  • my "long term investments" halved since Obama's election. That's enough sacrifice for me...;)

  • @callemlikeyouseethem

    ummm, you may notice that obama isnt in office and that the republican economic mess started before obama got elected. that is a big reason WHY he got elected. i realize that you may find that a confusing concept. along the lines of the girlfriend that you had that told you that the baby was yours even though you hadnt screwed her yet. but dont feel bad, time isnt that hard a concept to grasp, the whole cause and effect a little more tricky but just work on it, idiot

  • armilecj, the market has responded to the election of Obama and it reflects in nearly everyone's IRAs and 401Ks. Calling me an "idiot" does not change that reflection in my "long term investments".

  • Everyone I know fells the same.

    Others are setting up co. headquarters offshore.

    Rich ppl did not get rich by being stupid. Anyone with money is not going to reinvest here, will put business holdings offshore(which they are doing as we speak)

    and wise investors are buying up gold and silver.

  • favored17....we are scared here!...everyone we speak to thinks he is going to drain every dime away from anyone with ANY "CHANGE"...and the dollars and investments?~~~GONE~~~BABY~~~G­ONE~~~we heard he will tax ANY profit or equity in houses ...from $1 - ! 500,000...its zero now...this is $100,000(28%)...of $500,000????? thats a nice chunk of CHANGE!...but NOT the kind we NEED!...and then $CI-FAWN MORE!...off...the estate taxes....(amountunknown)into a GIANT DRAIN HOLE OF OBAMA~~~there it goes~~~~

  • I don't get why people think Socialism is so bad... Infact, it's a great idea! It's just the world we live in makes it pretty much impossible to work. But Obama is NOT going to turn America into a Socialist country. Raising and lower taxes has happened hundreds of times and no one ever called out, "SOCIALIST!" to the current president. You're all just racist McCain supporters.

  • "Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000"

    Google above then you'll find out where this economic mess came from.

    According to the article you'll find, here are the things caused by this act.

    *Enron bankruptcy

    *Lehman brothers bankruptcy

  • My proposal to Obama. He could create 300,000 green non tax payer jobs and give away that many free houses in 60 seconds if he chose to. YouTube search term 'anonbene'

  • tell me what congress is saying no. GIVE US NAMES SO WE
