  • It doesn't matter if your rep or dem, they are all on the same side. They attend the same secret societies. They all support the central banks. Nothing is going to work, they are purposly destroying the economy to obtain more land and wealth. Get ready people.

  • The point is that if the stimulus is spread out then it didnt need to be passed in an hour.

  • Simulas and spending are not the same they proved that. And obama cant complain about finding a deficit after what he is doing to the next president.

  • there will be a banking crisis after xmas,,,get yr money out of the bank,,,,they plan to anounce who received TARP funds and there will be only 5 banks left they are preparing for a national emergency and possibly marshall law,,,no American network has covered this ask why...foreign news is talking about it,,,Russian pres most recently

  • its funny but I never see Cenk giving any proof that Glen Beck is wrong he uses ad hock attacks,,he focuses on Becks bizzare behavior b/c its an easy way to discredit him and he just simply says he is so wrong he doesnt know what hes talking about,,,he gives his opinion but no proof never any proof at all EVER. I think Cenk means well but he is nieve and will wake up eventually I hope for his families sake its soon b/c this admin will end up destroying America and killing millions

  • @tylerlove78 they moved to Europe.. :(

  • while i feel that mccain's response was poorly thought out, he has a point. the stimulus that "we" have been given, has not helped, all it has done is line the pockets of corporate america, namely those that backed Obama in the first place. In Obama's defense, he is right, the tax cuts have not worked, but all that he has done is perpetuate the issue by giving grants and stimulus where it is not due.

  • Goddamn John McCain, the cheating womanizer and bumbling idiot!

  • I think you're talking about the wrong person. There's not been ONE instance where McCain was caught cheating on his wife or "womanizing". And I'd hardly call the man bumbling. Very weak pal...

  • Every person in this video has very weak arguments. The conservatives dont walk their talk and r very hypocritical as are the liberals. Bush had some tax cuts but then added a lot of spending which only could be funding through borrowing and printing more money. Bush was just 1 factor in the dip in the economy. The economy is everyone BUT the government. The government cannot produce anything it just takes from the productive and spends it on what they feel like (war, welfare for rich and poor).

  • at least someone has my view!

    No one is right in politics anymore.

  • Are you being sarcastic? McCain does not have any "ideas". His "ideas" are to do what we have been doing, tax cuts for the richest 1% of America and a bribe for the American taxpayer, 2500 dollars, that in the long term will obviously NOT do you any good...

  • all this short long term gray area complicated type stuff.Have you people forgotten about right and wrong you dont just spend money you have to plan these things out

  • Don't be an idiot...Come on man. "you don't just spend money" Iraq war much? 11 trillion deficit much? Apparently conservatives are crazy about spending money. The only time conservatives don't like spending money seems to be when it is stimulating the economy and creating jobs...

    Complicated type stuff? I'm shocked you even know how to use a computer.

  • LOL i don't know why you are surprised. Ideas coming from a party that STILL tries to refute global climate change AND the validity of evolution...

  • New Song Dissing Rush Limbaugh and other conservative Racist hosts on my page

    link here ----- watch?v=yQN8ztmlILc

    **Please come check it out and share**

  • How is Rush Racist?

  • I don't believe that Rush is racist. However, I do believe that he feels that racism doesn't exist and the polls during the campaign that showed that race was very important in their choice in certain areas proves that it does. Rush is painted as a racist for his lack of "understanding" how the inner-city really is.

  • Then he should not have an opinion on the inner city. If he is going to talk about it, he needs to be informed about it. If he is not and talks about it and makes "points" about it, but has no real understanding of it. That in a way makes him a racist, he is stereotyping and generalizing.

  • The GOP is hell-bent on destroying the country through fiscal irresponsibility. Reagan entered office with his 'supply side economics' theory and threw us into a deep recession. He cut taxes and spent tons of borrowed money. Result? For a few years the economy 'appeared' to be doing well while he quadrupled our national debt. Bush presided over another recession. Clinton began cleaning up the mess. Enter Bush II and it was Reagan redux with an 11 trillion dollar federal debt to show for it.

  • barack has 6 months to blame bush, after that its now his fault

  • Six months uh i think the rule is u can blame a president as long as he was in office. Granted it wont do anyone any good blaming other (except politicians) but if the economy does recover by the end of Obama's first term then why not blame the other side.

  • 5) The reason tax cuts work isnt because of the actual dollar amount, its about consumer confidence. Put more money in their pockets and even if they are in

    debt they spend that money, increasing circulation. The reason why keeping taxes so high doesnt work is for the same reason, people feel financially choked. We would ge tthe same amount of progress from this bill if it was trimmed down to 100 billion, but there are political moves all throughout this bill.

  • This guy is an idiot.

    1)What money? We are 9,000,000,000,000 dollars in debt as is, now i dont work at any bank or anything but id probably stop loaning money to somebodys account after that. We cant afford this bill.

    2) Didnt Obama also strongly support 750,000,000,000 bucks to the bank bailout? When is this gunna stop?

    3) tax cuts have worked, they have always worked. I.E. Ronald Reagan.

    4)FDR tried these same tactics and kept us in the depression longer then we had to be.

  • this guy is a dumbass

  • Atleast obama has a Number bush gets a blank check when it comes to his wars.

  • No, stimulus and spending are not the same thing at all. Stimulus should involve very specific types of spending, sure, but that is not what we're getting. The Stim Bill is just a bunch of politically-motivated pork projects wrapped up together. This should be pretty obvious - if all the government had to do is spend to stimulate the economy, then we'd all just give 70% of our wages over in taxes so the government could "stimulate" all it wanted.

  • every dam time the rep get in office, they steal, spend like there is no tomorrow and I have personally watched it now for the last three rep presidents. What do they expect Obama to do? I support him because he has the smartest financial advisors and like he said, if you have a better idea, lets hear it! Sounds like he is trying to undo the mess, one step at a time, Bush set the mood and they tore this financial country up. All know it alls, write to your congressmen or women please, share.

  • thank god john didn't win, thank you jesus. we would of been in so much trouble, he is too old, out of touch, down right stupid. He and palin really make a pair. she should have waited to run with someone with a brain, he is so mad still that he just constantly claims it won't work, its wrong, your doing everything wrong, lets talk, wait! JOhn john john, sit down and shut up. Lets see how many of your friends go to jail now, lets count them together. JOHN? your buddy Bush left, sit down now!

  • obama's a thug... just like all his black supporters

  • obama knows wat he is doin

  • It's funny how it's always the dumb people that can't spell who are Obama supporters.

    Oh wait, that's just a black person.

  • Yeah, it's only the schwartzes that voted for him. Well, here's one german/white mutha fucka who will match wits with you any day. Sucks cuz you and your fascist fuck party lost, eh Fritz?

  • shut the fuck up i know how to spell and you aren't my english teacher

  • bipartisan my ass

  • Lets see...McCain or Obama. John "Stay the course" McCain he would veto the bill and try NOTHING at all and "Stay the Course" while Obama will try his hardest to slightly push us away from the course of fail which McCain would want to stay. Obama ftw even if it means to lose. 3rd party for life.

  • "Obama will try his hardest to slightly push us away from the course of fail which McCain would want to stay." so you agree with obama and throwing 2 trillion dollars down the countries economic throat?but wait whose money they gonna use?ooo wait taxpayers or we will create it out of thin air its disturbing how obama just tells the commerce secretary print up another 2 trillion in money and go crazy with it spend it on anything and everything expcet hookers

  • With the money that was proposed for the STDs and planned parenthood, why not spend it on hookers too?

  • some body shut this mother fucker up

    go suck obama dick if u like him so much

  • I honestly cannot forsee anyone running to get more employees after they get a tax break. The work so hard to pay THE LEAST possible amount in taxes already. If you let them keep the money, why would they turn around and give it away? Answer: THEY WOULDN'T.

  • One idea was tax cuts aimed at people who make improvements on their homes. That way you ensure the money is spent, and you have to hire the people to make the improvements.

  • haha 2:55

  • is this guy an al qaeda terrorist?

  • are you a stupid american?

  • The Republicans have lost the election! Now they want to fail the current government. Their main goal is to do ANYTHING to achieve this. They don't care about their country or the unemployed people, or those who are about to lose both! Better divert your energies to organizing your party!

  • You raise tax 1 dollar per hour, my employer gives me 1.5 to compensate, 1 to replace the one they are taking and 50 cents to pay the tax on it, in a company of 80 employees you just cost someone there job to cover that. Lower taxes a dollar and we can hire someone. It does make a diffrence. Also if the poeple who ran buisnesses believed at all that Obama's plan would work then things would already be getting better but in the last 3 months since Obama's been elected i've never seen it this bad.

  • you mean it's been real bad since Obama got elected since he hasn't gotten to do anything yet to fix the mess that the previous 8 years made? Yah, it stinks because this garbage we've been given in public policy is starting to ROT!

    & are you saying that belief things are gonna get better automatically makes them get better? Then policy wouldn't matter, only how well you sold it! The recession isn't just in our heads.

    btw, too much inequality in income & wealth HURTS the economy; look it up

  • I mean he is making decisions and they are law by the end of the day because he is completely unapposed in the house and sennat. I mean that unlike other presidents we've had who's ajenda bight be bad for this country this president can completely and over night implament his ajenda.

  • he is still short 2 guys in the senate

    the dems control the house outright, but the senate, they need that magic 60 and they only have 58-59(with franekn)

  • There are two who call themselves republicans but always vote the other way. I think that as the partys oppinions of what's best for this country have evolved there are many who don't want to be seen as indecisive but don't necessaraly agree with the party they hail.

  • I also mean that specific plans that he has mentioned scare me like repealing the tax bennifit for buying a home. Most responcible people who were very careful with there finances when making the decision to buy will instantly be over extended and loose there homes if he kills that ben. which he has said he wants too. If I had to sum up all I was trying to say into a short sentance I think it would be. "Big government hurts everyone"

  • Tax cut only work when people have a job... not now

  • The republican critique: (1) whatever spending Obama says is "not stimulative" (2) this is a stimulus bill (3) therefore what Obama proposed is wasteful, not stimulative, and should be rejected.

  • he wasnt LISTENING he was lettin gthem TALK and letting the country LISTEN ..he said watch this...I'll reach out - with a gazillion witnesses and let these hand biting bastards represent THEN I can say Well it wasnt for lack of trying!

  • John McCain needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!

    McCain's the guy who 6 months ago thought the fundamentals of the economy were strong.

  • Trade is base on a product you dont have apples for bannans ext. not for thngs you do have. Free trade is a race to the bottom thinkng slave labor no environmental standards turn a blind i unsafe product thinkers These are the same people who buy blood diamonds.child forced labor products to save a dollar .. Hypocrites are what they are. Fair trade is trading with countries that have similar human rights and standards and wages. When you BUY AMERICAN we know most of these demands are met

  • LMAO.. Obama dissed them off.

  • spending and stimulus goes together. If the Republicans could have stimulated the country without spending don't you think they would have in the 8 years that they were in power! In Bushs last days he introduced TARP, so even in the republicans last days they had no ideas of stimulus without spending. The republicans just threw money at the incompetent. Obama is making the money work.

  • What is stimulus without spending? Explain exactly! And please don't be one of those fucktards who doesn't realize that tax cuts are SPENDING!

  • the Stimulous Package is for McCain to "Stimulate his Package"

  • I'd heard an interesting point of having a payroll tax cut. A payroll tax cut wouldn't only return money to working people but would also return money to the employer. That way it's cheaper to employ a person and that person gets more money.

  • fuck obama he dosnt deserve to be President

    1. we dont even know exactly where he was born

    2. he cant even pass a FBI background check but we let him be are president its bullshit i dont like McCain either but at least he has experience and the media is just making obama look good they dont say everything about obama i have to turn it to F.M radio just to here the fucking truth its ridiculous and im not a stupid racist so dont call me that

  • Hate to tell you buddy but YOU ARE A STUPID RACIST..

  • He is a liar... BASED ON WHAT? Idiot.

  • dont call me a fucking for expressing my opinion your a fucking ignorant bitch who cant see the truth so fuck off i dont need to here your shit

  • WHY IS HE A LIAR YOU DUMB FUCK?!

  • This Obama conspiracy is HUGE! Now the FBI is in on it too. I must have missed that special report about the Fed's being democrats, but then again, so is "the media." Obama must be the most powerful person to EVER walk the earth! I wish I had that kinda pull. Just yesterday, I had to embarrass this guy, who kept talking about how Obama isn't even a US citizen since he was born in Hawaii. When I pointed out Hawaii is part of the US, everyone started laughing, so he got mad & left. Go figure!

  • Tommy, GET A LIFE! This is just pathic at this point. What are try to accomplish, what point are you trying to make? I'm sorry that the rest of us, aren't buying the BS conspiracy theories. I'm really sorry that you & some others are STILL on this shit! Where's the proof?! Oh, I forgot, this is a national conspiracy!

    So is bigfoot, ufo's, Elvis, Tupac, get my drift? You sound like a nut, move on!

  • im sorry but i have a life and its great so dont say that you sound like a fucking idiot. and its not a conspiracy and what am i trying to accomplish nothing i just like speaking my mind so fuck off

  • I sound like a "fucking idiot?" Listen you little bitch, you replied to my shit! If your pathic ass had such a great life, you wouldn't be on youtube, with your wack ass CONSPIRACY BULLSHIT! You should"ve kept your mouth shut, if you didn't want to be called out for being a NUT! BTW add this to your list: Obama shot Jr, Obama killed Tupac AND Biggie, Obama stole the Limburg baby, Obama made Chris Brown beat Rihanna ass, Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama!!

  • well you know what if you had a life maybe you wouldn't be on youtube commenting shit you are a fucking idiot because anybody who can believe obamas shit is a fucking idiot leave me the fuck alone you stupid bitch

  • Same as before IDIOT!! Don't make personal replys, if you don't want to be shown as the NUT you are!! Maybe I could enjoy youtube if your dumb ass would stop send your STUPID CONSPIRACY BS TO ME!! GET A LIFE, GO AWAY, JUMP OFF A BRIDGE, IDIOT!!!

  • so im a idiot because i think diffrently than you and what im saying isnt a conspiracy its factual information if you didnt have your head up your ass maybe you could see that but your so closed minded you cant except other peoples thoughts and reaserch so leave me the fuck alone i cant here you anyway because your head is so up your ass all i hear is mumbles

  • Die.

  • you tell him what a douche man sidney over there was born in panama not the u.s pathetic pathetic argument tommy makes

  • What's even more pathetic is that you cannot even read the fine print on the contitution on what An American-born Citizen really is:

    John S. McCain was born in an United States Mitilary base based in the country of Panama.

    that's mean he is legally a American Born citizen.

    Learn your facts before you insult someone, you dumbass

  • Obamaaaaaaaaaa!!! That's what I'm talking about! I love that Obama can kick ass with words alone. Yeah, them republicans think Obama is a push over, but their in for a rude awakeing. I don't know what possesed McCain to get his ancient ass up to speak. He couldn't tangle with Obama on the campaign trail, he don't stand half a chance now.

  • The fundamentals of the economy are strong!

  • HAHAHAHAHA

  • McCain should tatoo a big L on his forehead

  • Oh God, It feels so good hearing McCain refer to Obama as "Mr. President". BOOYAH!!!

  • yeah, right, mcgrandpa, the fundermentals of the economy are strong!

  • McCain is up for re-election in 20 months, but has indicated he'll not run again.

    So good riddance to bad garbage.

    And in AZ he'll likely be replaced by a Dem.

  • republicans failed last 8 years, so enough with them already.

  • And Obama is going to double the National debt in the next 4 years at his rate.

    Obama should be more like Bill Clinton was with his Republican Congress and balance the budget. That would be the best thing for our economy in the LONG RUN.

    The problem in the last 4 years is that we had a big government President and congress. Until we vote them out, we will never be prosperous again.

  • How comes these Hypocrite Republicans didn't do this to Bushes FAILED policies.

  • Obama has the ability to use logic and reason rather than fear and threats to defuse a situation. He understands that you can influence someone just as easily, if not more easily, by sitting down with them and understanding them as threatening them. The best way to influence someone is from a position of mutual respect. Then if that doesn't work he can shove his boot up their ass.

  • mmm MM do I love watching McCain writhe in jealousy and contempt. It's like a fine wine, aged over the last two years.

  • Mccain was pissed and it was hard for him to address Obama as mr. president! lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What ever happened to tax increases for the wealthy?

  • what happened to mccain admitting that he doesn't know much about economy?

  • I think there ought to be green energy bio digester retirement communities for retired Republican senators. They can work there or digest there. Either way they will be able to give back something to the community other than a constant supply of BS. We are not going to tap dance our way forever. The people deserve a chance to grow their own energy, and grow their own.

  • Throwing money at a bigger problem is going to do just that, cause a bigger problem.

  • wow, mccain is still alive? i thought they put the cryptkeeper back in his coffin and buried him

  • Me too, I assumed his "job" was done :s

  • No more tax cuts! Bring back Keynesian economics. I want more regulation, more government ownership, more government involvement. Send the hate if you must but, please, don't call me a socialist! I believe in Keynesian economics, FDR and the new deal!

    Let's spend this money on creating green infrastructure in the short term and training our workers to function in the 21st century economy in the long term. No more tax cuts for the rich who will only spend it on themselves!

  • republicans have no shame when they constantly call for more tax cuts.....they don't want tax cuts for mom and pop who own a lil store.....they don't want them for sam working at the steel factory.....they are basically saying i want more tax cuts for me and my rich friends.....they have shown time and time again they don't care about the little guy.....hell mccain doesn't even know who the lil guy is....he said in the campaign he thought only people who make over 5 million were considered rich

  • your comment  was exactly the kind of comment I was looking for

  • i don't see a future for the GOP.

    Sarah Palin 2011!Lol.

  • Republicans are denying the financial meltdown that occurred because of their failed policies. George Bush more then doubled the national debt in 8 years. If the Republicans don't stop denying what happened and why it happened on their watch they will be history, they already are in my view

  • Everything is fucked beyond repair

  • McCain is toast & so may be the GOP.

    He's up for re-election in about 19 months & has indicated he won't run again.

    And he'll be replaced by a Democrat.

    GOP had best stop acting like obstructionist -- 2010 looks worse for GOP than 2008 & 10 of the 17 GOP seats up for re-election look vulnerable.

    On the other hand, of the 19 Dem seats up for election all look secure with the possible exception of Ark if Huckabee changes his mind & decides to run.

    Dems could end up w/ 70 seats.

  • Comment removed

  • It is important to look at who gained from Bushes policies, war profiteers, wealthiest corporations, wealthy bankers, who think they deserve the poshest lifestyle in the world even when they have driven the country to economic disaster, at the peoples expense. Bush has done his best to create separation of the classes and an elitist upper class, we need to reverse this and we have the power in Obama to do this now. Do the American people want to be class slaves? Tax the rich and feed the poor.

  • The government can't just put money into certain industries though. Governments cant dictate what the market wants. Thats where soviet system failed. Infrastructure makes all industries more effective and boosts economy.

  • The republicans love to cripple the government for some reason and still trying to do it after they've lost.

  • Obama is finally making his case by doing what he is strong and good at - campaigning.

  • I am a conservative. McCain has absolutely no credibility when he tries to come off as fiscally conservative. He should have opposed the first bailout, instead he halted his campaign to support that steaming pile of shit. It's not the only reason he lost, but it's definitely one of them. (I do realize Obama was for it too btw. Problem was, with McCain agreeing, he offered no alternative for those who didn't want it).

  • Cenk sorry, we have " Income taxes " to support the wellfare state & finance our empire. Nothing more.

    Cops, Fire Dept. Etc. is suppose to be through " Local " tax and other sources not FEDERAL.

  • bush's tax cut on the upper class and not on the lower and middle class caused a lot of our economic struggles. Clinton spent more than bush did but the us had a surplus not a deficet, republicans never learn, thats why they lost the election.

  • This stimulus is an ominous sign that Obambi will be a 1 TERM EPIC FAIL and will lose to Sarah Palin in 2012. This country does not need a stimulus and more government spending to help the global economy. No, the world needs Palinomics. Palinomics will save the world economy, greater than Reaganomics and Clintonomics. Palinomics is blessed with the divine power of GOD HERSELF for Palin is GOD's CHOSEN ONE, GOD INCARNATE and the LIVING EMBODIMENT OF GOD HERSELF!

  • People like you make people who follow religion look bad.

  • "This stimulus is an ominous ... "

    Etc. etc.

    You must be joking!

    Palin is the result of a Republican schooling system the aim of which is to keep voters dumb enough to vote Republican. That's why they think spending money on education is a waste.

    Palin believes the earth is flat, dinosaurs lived when McCain was five, and Putin's spirit appears over Alaska.

    Give me a break.

  • this is the funniest thing I've ever read

  • I really hope you are making a joke. You have got to be kidding...right?

    If you're not kidding, I don't know where to start with my rebuttal. I'm flabbergasted.

  • If this was a satire I frekin' LOL'd, if it wasn't you're seriously a delusional religious idiot.

    respond to ecwaufisxtreme

  • I like how Obama can still maintain a sense of humor in tough times, that's probably the only thing we need, a good laugh.

  • Long term thinking. It's called "smart". :P

  • Damn I thought Mc Cain was younger.. whats he about 85??

  • McLoser is 72, but he looks 90.

  • WOW he's so ugly

  • And senile and stupid too.

  • Stimulus and spending are by no means interchangeable terms!

  • In this context it is. The economy is fulled by money. When you stimulate you inject something that invoke a strong reaction in what ever you are trying to stimulate. Therefore what else would be better to stimulate the economy than a form of spending to get project moving and business producing, creating economic growth.

  • Well then, they can deliver my "stimulus" direct. Large bills please...

  • Now that would be awesome!

  • Obama should legalize cocaine he's snorted enough of it to know.

  • McCain is such a doofus. "The whole point is ... spending measures...." Huh? Isn't that what Obama just said?

    But I have to disagree that "tax cuts don't work, because that's what we've done, and this is where we are as a result." I'd argue that tax cuts have nothing to do with today's crisis. Today's crisis was the result, at least in part, of an abject failure of the federal government to keep an eye on the foxes stalking the hen house.

  • Well Said!!!

  • There's still some tax cuts in the stimulus bill though : (

  • Obama wants to Decriminalize Marijuana

  • Legalize Marijuana, naahh that's too freaking smart- what's next ending the Cuba embargo, letting the farmers grow industrial hemp- my god how will we maintain freedom if we let people do what they want...oh wait.

  • You say that like it's a bad thing.

  • The tax cuts didnt work the first 8 fucking years, so it should work now? Morons.

  • They truly are morons. It didn't work under the first Bush either. Republicans are truly morons.

  • Where do you get that McCain is calling for stimulus in the first year? There IS a difference between spending and stimulus. Example, If I own a business and have $5k to spend and I can either buy a vacation to hawaii or buy a computer system, which one will stimulate my earning potential moving forward? Duh, even a stupid fathead liberal idiot like Cenk Ulgyer should be able to answer that....maybe. As long as you consistantly miss the point The Young Turks will never advance beyond Youtube!!!

  • Exactly the young turks will never advance beyond youtube, Cenk will never get a job like Olbermann, there is already a million characters exactly like him. uhhhh, people are straight up tired of bullshit politics. Cenk's just trying to get on TV thats all. He has no balls. It's fucking outrageous TYT are calling themseleves a news channel now. GIve me a fucking break aside from ultra liberal talking points.

  • And what have you done today?

  • Hahahah Shut the fuck up you republican dick. Its people like you that GOT US into this shit. LAWL

  • how do you figure he is republican?

  • i can see what u mean I like Cenk and hopes he gets on Tv... he seems like a fun guy

    however, i would like to see news become less politically motivated and more centered on simply non ideological based reporting. Reporting the simple truths free of bais. he, like many in business of media is bogged down by political ideology. i think we need more no bias, non political news sources. as appose to more.but doesn't mean anything anymore. what matter is what sales..

  • Its called ARP.

  • Damn,  I mean AP as in Associated Press.

  • yeah but we need more of the non bais non poltical reporting..

  • jlaiman, WOW, you are really ignorant! If you have 5K to spend, no matter how you spend it, you're STIMULATING either the travel industry or the computer company you choose to buy said computer from!!! People who patronize your business STIMULATE YOUR BUSINESS!!!! Another typical republican who DOES NOT COMPREHEND ENGLISH!!!!!

  • i understand what you mean. it makes sense from the proposed idea. but sometimes things dont always work out the way they want it to be.. overrall i do agree that investment in decaying infrastructure will do some good...

  • Yes, it would be good if the money come from saving. The problem is that the whole american economy is base on credit card debt consumption. And now that the american are too broke and too much in debt to spend on anything, the economy is paralysed. You need an economy based on production and saving.

    The hawai travel will not produce or create anything while the computer will help to create wealth.

  • futfut0708, Truth is, the job loss rates that the Bush administration have been LYING about since he took office in 2001!!! Once it was announced that he would be our president, the first indication of trouble I saw was that starting pay at McDonalds went from $10.85 an hr to $6.10 an hr!!! Anyone who did not see this mess coming 8 years ago IS BLIND!!!! The republicans WANT YOU TO BELIEVE that it's the housing mkt! People need JOBS to pay their bills!!!!!!!!!

  • Oh stfu and give ron paul a bj fag.

  • This stimulus plan will cause disaster mark my words. It's filled with pork. Speaking of the devil I want some ribs.

  • Tax cuts for working families: $247bn

    Job-creating investments in infrastructure and science: $165bnJob-creating investments in health: $153bn

    Job-creating investments in education and training: $138bn

    Job-creating investments for an energy independent America: $82bn

    Job-creating investments tax cuts for small businesses: $21bn

    Helping Americans hit hard by the economic crisis: $72bn

    Where the hells the "pork"?

  • Republicans don't comprehend English! Their brains are wired all wrong!!!

  • tell that to Abe Lincoln

  • Back in Lincolns time there were republicans and democrats! Now, there are millions of people who are unaware that a true republican is born wealthy and a true democrat has to WORK for what they have!!!

  • Over the course of time the Republicans as grown sour. I am sure the founding fathers are turning in their graves.

  • Obama tried to be nice and gain unity in the Government, but they already want to stop it. I'M GLAD HE HAD TO TALK TO THEM LIKE KIDS!!!! ALL REPUBS NEED IS A LITTLE COMMON SENSE. AND I'M HAPPY ALL THE COMMON SENSE IS IN THE OVAL OFFICE!

  • Where the hell does the stimilus bill call for golf courses and marinas? High speed connections in high schools are necessary though...maybe not that much money is needed though.

  • This is why the old folks in the republican party NEED TO GO! MAYBE if we used the money to BUILD BRIDGES, SCHOOLS, AND DO THINGS LOCALLY IN THE FIRST PLACE WE WOULDN"T BE IN THE MESS WE"RE IN NOW! When u give to the comsumer they spend more and because they spend money more frequently! I'm so glad our current president is SOOO MUCH smarter then before. I wish him nothing but success.

  • Finally Obama is growing some balls! Tell McFossil to shove his tax cuts up his wrinkled ass.
