  • I am a slick CON-MAN with alotta rich people behind him who have covered my illicit past- I NEVER miss an opportunity for the TV spotlight because my likeability covers my CRIMINAL past and people ignore my multiple SSN's and the FORGED birth certificate- EVERY word from my mouth is a LIE- I am the most secretive of ALL presidents- Every part of my past has been hidden or destroyed at great expense- I even surrendered my LAW license to avoid investigation- I AM THE BIGGEST FRAUD OF ALL TIME-

  • Why all the racist and hateful comments about our Democratic leaders??

  • ......and just because you dont agree with him,he call you enemies.......nice guy! This reminds me of communism.

  • You're damned right BHO. We won't let you walk away from your health care reform fiasco. We are going to make certain that you, Reid, Boxer, Pelosi et al. are married to it. The American people will forever remember that the most failed presidency was responsible for the mess.

    Nov 2nd, we aren't going to let you walk away from it. Neither can your cohorts - they are going to pay with their political lives because of it

    6 days and counting: 50+ House seats; 7+ senate seats

    Thank you

  • @MichaelFondledMe Those who got in will walk right back out, with their 13% approval rating with them to the homeless shelter

  • The sooner Obama, Michele, and all their dual-citizen Zionist staff and czars are gone, the better! May God hurry them along, and may they take McCain with them. And PLEASE also take with you Pelosi, Reid, Barney, Feinstein, Boxer, Snowe, Collins, and all the other long-timers. We need ONLY new blood in Congress.

  • @GThomason What the heck are you talking about?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  • War may kill your sons and daughters, and maybe you will never truly be rich but your health is the only asset you will have left if you allow your wealth to evaporate on conflicts like war, or unsubstantiated purchases. In another 30 years the world will be a very silent rock with few people between because the baby boomers straining the system will all but virtually be erased. They were a result of war, born to perpetuate profit for war, and now they need you youngin's to pay for their pills.

  • There is and will always be a conflict between socialized health care & profit motive health care under our current system. Insurance companies are profit motivated and like many corporations have no soul. How could the American people not see the real issues surrounding healthcare? The American people were offered something real under this democratic system but people were to naive to see through the rhetoric of the profit motive corporation that have the money to advertise.

  • Hi

    How are you?

    You are doing a great job.

    Rock on

    ELVISERIC

  • Of course you win' walk away from healthcare reform...that would be like walking away from Socialism...however the voters will walk away from you..DUFUS!

  • HEY AFRICAN AMERICANS:

    How is that 50% unemployment working out for you?

    Obama is a Bankster Whore just like George Bush.

    You decided to believe in fairy tales?

    TIME TO COME BACK...

    watch?v=YGhyAuXnIAM

  • @FlareOfDawn I live in Canada & the only free health care we get is the mind destroying pharmaceutical drugs & poison mercury filled vaccines. UNDERSTAND THE MEDICAL SYSTEM IS A SOFT-KILL OPERATION! Alternative natural medicine is the only real way to maintain health.

  • I really wish you did walk away.....and never came back

  • Comment removed

  • Right on, glad you are standing up for them obama health care is a right, a right than should never be taken away, ever! Keep up the work

  • I`m from Finland, small country, but we have always be free health care.

    I`m glad that Obama try make a change.

    I have always believe that Bush "attack" his own people. Too many lose life Afganistan....

    Sorry my terrible english

  • Fuck you and health care.You suck, what about tier 5? How can you just ignore people who cannot get jobs because there are no jobs, no unemployment, and you just sweep them under the rug. You talk about everything except the most important subject. People are going homeless and starving. May God strike you dead!!

  • Yall better get your boots on... so yall dont step in all the bullshit. First he doesnt show up to lay wreaths on Memorial Day then he's in Russia for the 4th, whats next? Isreal for Christmas? Or maybe him raising another countries flag over ours. Obama as president is a travesty what a disaster and its only been 2 years!

  • yes thank you hussein for adding another entitlement on top of the ones we can't pay for already, nice to see you in Vegas after telling the world not come here, Harry Reid is done no matter what lies you spew to his labor union audience.

  • what a big sissy he laid day like a scared dog when the dude from mexico told him how to take control of the border grow a set man

  • Hey Mr. President,

    I applaud you on your lousy job in office!

    -A guy who recognizes an unqualified Socialist when he sees one.

  • how many will die

    in

    filthy hospitals??????????

    We want good health care

    screw you.....you lie

    cheat

    steal

    Tea Party ........Paul and the taxpayers will kick your ass out.

  • @baysideful How many will have their HARD-EARNED money taken away from them while others could be working to buy themselves healthcare?

    No one's stealing here, my friend. They're earning their own money through completely valid methods. Yet I guess it's suddenly not theirs because others weren't so successful in life?

  • @FlareOfDawn THIS OBAMA IS BIG ON KILLING BABIES BECAUSE THAT,S WHAT ABORTION IS WE NEVER HEAR A PREGNANT WOMAN SAY "I,M EXPECTING AN EMBRYO " ...NO SHE SAY,S " I,M EXPECTING A BABY "SO HOW COME IT,S A BABY WHEN YOU WANT TO KEEP THE CHILD AND AN EMBRYO WHEN YOU WANT TO ABORT IT ?

  • @democracyoreugenics figures of speech - embryo is an embryo

  • ...If the man can give a speech and put it in words that everyone wants to here...then he's in Office. There were people that voted for Bush Simply because he was "CHRISTIAN"???lmfao FUCK YOU.

  • nice videos!

  • Obama got it done!

    Suck it, haters.

  • @jensen1901 A thief would have gotten it done when he got away with a million bucks from the bank, but that doesn't mean that what he did was right.

  • @FlareOfDawn we dont care if it works in canada or france, both those countrys suck, france more than canada tho, and the USA could totally kick both your countrys butts proudly and with ease, and why are you even watchin healthcare debates on a policy in a different country, go worry about your french crap, and FREEDOM fries are 39 times better than stupid french fries are

  • 25,000 views haha thats fuckin it?!? obviously no one gives a fuck

  • GPA

    Bush's IQ would be somewhere between 124 and 137. Hardly a dunce, that's at least in the top six percent of Americans.

    And Obama? Oh thats right he has yet to release those college transcripts. While Rome burns Obama gives speeches.

  • Alexander Frazer Tytler wrote, a democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves money out of the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the treasury with the result that democracy collpases over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a dictatorship. He was explaining what had destroyed the Athenian Republic 2000 years before.

  • bravo, good job, we support you from Europe

    a hello from Belgium

  • no it is not a good job. he is a master in disguise who is hell bent on breaking america.

  • @gravitation770 dude, it's something called "exaggeration".

  • Can you please also stop the "patriot act"

  • @phantommadness

    HE IS A ONE-TERM PRESIDENT.  AND THE PATRIOT ACT IS ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU JUST WANT TO THROW UP.... JUST COCKY....

  • hcp=bs

  • i feel sorry for the people who thing taking americans rights away are a good idea

    obama=bs

    people that stand by him=non educated and watch channels that hide truth

    o and i wish some1 would comment my channel tryin to argue with the truth=p

  • Obama is honest about his plans to destroy America. He has already shown what he wants to do, but no one is listening because they aren't listening, they are just caught up in his charisma.

  • One of the ugliest thing in our world is the distortion of the truth. President Barrack Obama is an honest, hard working, trustworthy and open human being. This on going campaign to assassinate his character is not only very sad but disturbingly evil ! I guess it doesn't matter how hard he tries to be the best President that he could be those who dislike him for no valid reason will always oppose and bad mouth every thing he does and say. My comfort is that there is a God and this is his man.

  • so ur comparing god to obama? wow ill pray 4 u and i can tell u dont read the bible

    ud be the type to accept the mark of the beast

  • @sandbox63 Fuck you and your gay wanna be patriotic speech! We didn't know who this man was way before bush...he pops up and now he's running the country. He is a walking, talking, polished suit with a new face. Election day was full of mtv generation retards, drunk jersey shore, lame entertainers that know jack shit about politics and how the world works. Most money in the history of the U.S was spent on his fucking campaign.

  • @sandbox63 and what the fuck happened to all his promises...he didn't pull out of the war that was irrelevant in the first place when bush was in office! America's education system is shitty compared to the rest of the world...even 3 world countries...so our elections are never full of well informed, educated, open-minded people...its full of close minded, dumb, ignorant, one-sided wanna be know it all's

  • @sandbox63 Wow, I can't believe people like you believe he is doing a GOOD JOB! Has it come to your attention of the recent bill he accepted? He accepted a bill to give ISRAEL 80 billion dollars for an eight year period. OPEN YOUR EYES! Now every President we have is a Zionist. They work for Israel and not us. Have you every heard of the USS Liberty? It got attacked by Israel; killing 55 men, wounding 156. This was a plot to go to war with Egypt. It failed, and the Jewish media censored it.

  • @sandbox63 Maybe they want George Bush back who is white like them in color of skin but doesnt gives a damn about them! Is Humanity CURSED?!!!

  • @sandbox63 read about the the irrational primitve reptilian brain and you would know why these people are trying assasinate Obama's character when he's doing the best to strengthen to country after the ugly Bush administration disaster!

  • @sandbox63 Amazing how brainwashed you are the people of America have become, this country will get what it deserves an that is "shit". Have fun getting Chipped.

  • @RadarGuidedVermin Rediculous

  • Comment removed

  • what we need is piss down economics.give tax cuts to the rich and let piss down on the poor white trash that voted the republicans in.that is pure fun to watch.

  • gothicfuneral1...If you thing Obama is going to save you your delousional..

    I cant wait until the election the dems are

    going to loose BIG TIME

  • SAVE OUR COUNTRY OBAMA!!!!!!

  • All I know, is that I looked for health insurance for my mother, and actually saw a Blue Cross Blue Shield for 1,040 a month. Who has that kind of money?! All you have to do to be sick is be alive. So while telling people to eat better may help - disease is inevitable. And all those who are healthy now, wait a while. Something will get you. So this is for everybody, and I don't understand why congressmen aren't fired for basically dooming the people they "supposedly" serve. This isn't Democracy.

  • @InstantCreditCards:

    Are you imitating Obama's financial policy? Free credit for all!

    Actually, I think many conservatives are glad Obama continues his fight for a socialized health care. He WILL fail and the voters will just punish him that much more. The Democrats are doomed come November. Can't wait!

  • You're right, if it turns out to be a ball of crap Republicans beat up, limp as spaghetti, that does not accomplish it's objective of controlling cost or is not practical!

  • Don't think so.

    The reform is actually needed to sustain the U.S Economy.. Right now there are more people on Gov insured health then private..Why..They are forced into bankruptcy..or have to hide there wealth to get health care.. One Sickness ..in the U.S will bankrupt an already saving low, over spent society. If you don't have 10 times your salary in cash..you are an example of this. Incentive to stay healthy..will work for this capitalist system.

  • QUESTION:

    Why did President Obama say the Constitution of the United States is flawed, and has never praised the founding fathers of our great Nation?

    PICK THE CORRECT ANSWER:

    1.President Obama is a patriotic American, but is an idiot.

    2.President Obama is not a patriotic American, but is a progressive that believes in moving our Nation into a socialist form of Marxist government.

    Ask by: Eric Pearson, Democratic Party candidate for US Congress in the 5th district, Tennessee.

  • What part of the Constitution of the United States did he say is flawed?

    Nothing is perfect. Chances are, we need new amendments to modernize it.

  • Number 2

    Eric Pearson for congress everybody!

  • Obrigado pelo desempenho. Obrigado pela ajuda humanitário pelos povos do Haiti e os povos do CHILE pelas grandes catástrofes que sofreram. O teu coracão é de ouro. TENHO acompanhado teus trabalhos pela net. TERRA DO ET. BRASIL.

  • Universal Health Care System Now!!

  • I am an American- Obama is for us- I will back Obama's efforts to provide real health care reform as best I can. God speed President Obama to victory- both now and in his re-election- definitely a two full term President!

  • @octomedusa2 I will bet you what ever amount you like that he will never be reelected.

  • @Iletah, if your system is so perfect? why are there so much unemployed people and people with immense depts in America?

    @DemocraticFreedom, socialism aint such a bad thing as u think if it isnt to extreme or even almost communism, socialism stands for change and equality though it wont make everyone exactly equal.

  • If they controlled it before, what makes you think theyre not controlling it now? he asked. The country was on the verge of revolution. They threw a black man up, now we like this (complacent). They put a black face on the New World Order and now we all happy. KRS aint buying it.

  • REMEMBER 8 years of America the Ridiculous

    /watch?v=n-H2GTZZ2hI

    Be patient.

  • @NouvelleMoon Your right Bill was really bad.

  • Thank you Obama and our Democratic Party Congress, for our friends at Wall Street now have recently given themselves bonuses topping over $20 BILLION dollars. Looking back, it was a bitter pill for us taxpayers, but now we can't thank you enough Obama in making it possible for them to make such outrages bonuses. We trust you have already gotten your fair share of the money for your next election.

    Best regards,

    Bob the unemployed Plummer

  • people need to start paying attention to what Obama does... instead of what he says! Believe me there is a big difference!

    Barack Obama is a fraud...

    /watch?v=yA45EUscLac

  • Funny is what people usually was says that black man cant become a president , and now when president is black hes try to ruin perfect work system

  • I remember a statement Obama said during the campaign, "America is the greatest country in the world, now help me change it." No words could have been more true. In the short time he's been in office he has laid the ground work to transform this country into something unrecognizable. But it's not too late, we can stop this steady march toward Socialism.

  • all bull! obama ain't doing nothing new. only wants more gov't control. who the hell your kidding. all suckers. the more power HE has, the more control they will have over all americans. it's there plan to place in the world gov't. new world order. they dont care about health. wake up. it's all about profits. and control over who lives and who dies. Obma is nothing more than a puppet place in office and control by big banks and friends on wall street.wtf wake people! all a scam. talk is cheap!.

  • This is my 3rd time posting this plan....I hope someone at the Administration actually reads it. It has stuff for the insurance industry to hate (less insurance) and stuff for big government types to hate (merging medicare and medicaid into the high risk pool).

  • Go Obama!! I know you are going to make great change for the American people and many of us from outside the US understand this too!

  • That's weird i could of sworn that the American president looked black?! i hope that the lighting was jus bad or there was a smudge on my screen, can somebody clear this issue up with me thx :)

  • Over the past year, as families and small business owners have struggled to pay soaring health care costs, and as millions of Americans lost their coverage, the five largest insurers made record profits of over $12 billion.

    The American people deserve better than this.

    President Obama has invited Democrats and Republicans to a bipartisan health care meeting next week.

    Call your Senator and Representative and urge them to attend and work together to find a solution.

    American needs your help.

  • Allowing purchasing across state lines helps the insurance companies, not the people.

    It allows insurers to cherry pick the best policy holders in each state, leaving the rest of the people to pay higher premiums because their risk pool has been artificially heightened. The state lines argument is a favorite of the insurance lobby.

    Why should we help out the insurance companies? At a time like this, they should be helping us, not the other way around.

  • If you want to do something immediately that would help the people pass a law that allows purchasing across State lines. That one thing would do more then your 4000 page bills. The Congress and Senate bills are not reform they are an expansion of our failed system and will cost THE PEOPLE MORE, while once again bailing out the insurance and health industry while giving Government more power to mess the system up worse. THE PEOPLE DON"T WANT WHAT IS BEING OFFERED. START OVER.

  • Tired of wasting your breath arguing with people who spew hatred and ignorance?

    No matter how many facts we provide, some people would rather use scare-tactics, name-calling and tell outright lies.

    You can continue arguing with them or you can roll up your sleeves and get involved.

    Millions of fellow Americans recognize that ranting and raving does not provide jobs, or health care, or an education to those who are in need.

  • I love how one day everyone loves Obama and the next everyone is cursing him.. way to be patriotic. Dumb Americans' Go Canada! ps. not all Americans' are idiots, just the ones that talk out of their ass, know nothing about politics and pretend to be know it alls. Give the guy a chance, he is only 1 human and without the support of the American people how is he supposed to get anything accomplished.

  • @hbirk123 what you say is so True,shit people were already Bitching when obama was press only a month,and yes most were Republicans,and it won't stop for it Don't matter what he gets done or not,they will never Support him,but some how they could support Bush for 8 years.they Hated the Fact he won and nothing will change that..

  • obama is a lier

  • This is the best method going forward. And as he said if there is a better way, let him know. He is open to suggestion. As long as Congress do not walk away from reforms, it will be back to square one for all but the wealthy.

  • I will not walk away from health reform, what about reforming the way Veterans who are suffering every day with chronic severe pain and all they are offered is Morphine! president Obama if you really want to help all the thousand's of War veterans start legalizing medical marijuana and let government to control it help all these suffering veterans.Check the Veterans Hospital see how many veterans are having to deal with their pain with just morphine I think you'll be surprised!

  • @g3baldridge ...Wait? WHAT? So instead of giving everyone Morphine, we should just give all the veterans Marijuana. Yes... I see how that's infinitely better?

  • @tberkel2

    I can see you don't know jack shit about Morphine or Marijuana.

    Morphine is MUCH more addictive and also you can only take so much before you start barfing all over the place.

    Marijuana is a better painkiller for long term pains and costs much less too.

  • And you don't know much about medical care. Derivatives of morphine, when taken for pain relief, is MUCH less addictive. And only those with addictive predisposition run high risk, as they will with anything.

    Statistically, I'm surprised you aren't fighting for mental care.

    I'm not a fan of opiates. I thought the idea of completely replacing one powerful pain killer usually given in derivative form with a mild pain killer seemed irrational and poorly thought out.

  • Chronic pain is a central nervous system disorder. There is severe damage that your body is responding to. Neither morphine and definitely not something as mild as marijuana will solve severe cases of chronic pain, which are usually related to PTSD. It's about relief, not curing. If someone gets more relief from Marijuana than from Morphine, they should submit themselves to research, because they have a new form of chronic pain, or they have Marijuana that's altering neuroplasticity...

  • Just grow opium the plant, all natural, moderation should do the trick

  • I was a medic in the US Army, I've seen so many fuckers get addicted to Morphine but have never seen someone get addicted to pot.

    Plus, you can't tell me that pot costs more than Morphine, that is total bullshit.

  • First of all, people do become dependent on Pot. It's emotional/mental rather than physical. But that's not important here. Because my point was VETS who ARE HOME with REAL DOCTORS often get derivatives.

    And woah? Total blow to costs out of nowhere. I never even MENTIONED cost... I was talking about relief of pain to a central nervous disorder that I can't imagine pot would help unless you're smoking a bowl an hour.

  • We're holding you to that President Obama. Don't you dare give up on this, take this presidency by the choker and get us a GREAT universal healthcare package not just a run of the mill watered down piece of dog crap.

  • I want health care reform I just do not want government to handle it. I do not hate Obama. Why can some people not understand, based on how corrupt the SYSTEM is, that people are afraid to let government have total control of this?

    I admit I am not smart enough to come up with a solution but one with a correct series of checks and balances that works sounds nice. There are laws that can be passed to keep insurance companies etc. in check. I am so tired of all the arguing.

  • DINO (Democrat In Name Only) Much, I hate it when conservatives pretend like they are Democrats only to make up falsehoods about Democratic Ideology. Barack Obama voted for the TARP and has done much to stimulate sagging PRIVATE industries in the United States, and the rest of the Democratic Majority have supported this, that doesn't sound like Socialism and that is because it is not. Before you say things that aren't true do some research.

  • I guess its part of their strategy to try and get people to think Democrats have turned their back on Obama. If you visit this geofiles' channel, he's subscribes to all kinds of right-wing channels.

    He's NOT a Democrat no matter how much he pretends. It's just pathetic.

  • what a nigger half breed.

    and is it just me or are his lips purple?

  • Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel " pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land".

    Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said,

  • " Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised land". Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels and mortgaged the promised land! I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, Savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc . . . I called Lifeline. Got a call center in Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal.

    They all got excited and asked if I could drive a truck..

  • Great stuff. Obama is a fucking joke.

  • it's important to point out that the shadow government wants to crash the dollar. that's their intention...get ready.

  • Hey Ron Paul terrorist:

    suck my dick.

  • obama loves goldman sachs and jp morgan. they deserved their christmas bonuses. unfortunately the people don't. special interest.

  • We need jobs and a working economy. We do not want government run healthcare, government run banks and businesses, and communist czars (self proclaimed) in or out of the Whitehouse. We do not want "funny people" appointed by Obama to positions in government. We do not want Pelosi and Reid telling everyone what to do. WE WANT A WHOLE NEW CREW!!!..

  • I am just glad you haven't got a giant cheese wheel at the white house. Thank you for not giving up.

  • The cia will stage a false flag attempt on his life as an excuse to attack Iran. We all know it.

  • His answer:

    Eradicate health insurance, medicare, etc.

    Teach people to nourish their personal human body-mind.

    Discard all synthetic pharmaceutical compounds.

    Do away with every drug peddler of such synthetic compounds.

    Re-establish small-scale community farms throughout the land.

    Such moves shall eliminate any need to answer any one of his scripted ridiculous questions.

    This speech is simply a play for the conditioned human organisms. He's simply a pawn of the masters :)

  • How much does he care and would he walk away from the presidency if it was in the best interest of the American people?

  • One term you blew it!

  • When I read comments filled with name-calling, scare-tactics and mud-slinging, I am reminded why we fight for change.

    That was the old way; and it doesn't provide anyone with a job, or health care, or an education.

    So, when people like DemoracticFreedom spout their hate-filled venom - just remember that their days are numbered.

    They know they are on their way out and they're angry and fearful.

    If you really want to hit them where it hurts: become a community organizer and fight for change.

  • obama ≠ change

    socialism ≠ change

  • Both right-wing and left-wing economists agree, we use an economic system which uses a BOTH capitalism and socialism.

    Everyone understands this concept except extremists who use scare-tactics and name-calling.

    I know you like to throw the "socialism" label around, but you should know that America has always used "socialism" in our economic system.

    We don't live in a purely capitalistic society. Socialism isn't a bad word - it's a part of who we are and who we have always been.

  • socialism IS a bad word when efficiency is at stake.

    inefficiency is the result of government involvement in the market. whether creating moral hazard or outright attempting to run businesses themselves.

    don't divert attention by denouncing "name callers" etc. the fact is that america became america by providing a sound stage for free market capitalism and all it entails to flourish. we lost our edge when we surrendered our liberties to government. our move towards socialism HAS BEEN BAD.

  • Inefficiency doesn't prove that socialism is bad.

    Capitalism also produces inefficiencies, such as when the true value of a business is not accurately reflected in its stock price. That doesn't make capitalism "bad."

    We've surrendered nothing to the government. We ARE the government. You and me and every other American citizen. "We the people..." remember. We are the government - that's what makes America great.

    The government can't take anything from us because we ARE the government

  • I think the vast majority of Americans don't feel that we ARE the government. What do you think? Sure, our constitution starts with those words. Great. Webster's dictionary might even agree with that. So what? Does government really represent us?

    No. They represent themselves and their friends in their sick, fascist bond (dependence?).

    They do things like inflate bubbles, distort the market. It frustrates me when people can't see government's role in their tired arguments, like your stock mar

  • Without doubt a large majority of our Democratic Party representatives in Washington are tainted by corruption, and the liberals among us are supporting the ideologies of progressives with their agendas based on moving our Nation deeper into a socialist form of government. This is a real threat to everything we hold sacred in America, and they are gaining evermore control over our Democratic Party, our Nation, and the American people.

  • You're not a Democrat. Stop acting like it. Don't you have enough pride in being a right-winger to go post something in advocacy for what you really believe?

  • ket rhetoric.

    The government is the source of our problems.

    If you understood free market economics you would understand what is wrong with saying, "Capitalism also produces inefficiencies, such as when the true value of a business is not accurately reflected in its stock price. That doesn't make capitalism "bad.""

    The market is not at work in any capacity that warrants blame to be cast on capitalism. And yes, inefficiency is "bad." Inefficiency necessarily leads to poverty and struggle.

  • We are the government - it seems you've lost faith in that concept.

    When the stock market is inefficient, you can buy a company's stock for less then it's true value. Then, when the price rises back up to the true value, you can sell it for more than what you paid. As the investor, you would MAKE money because of the inefficiency in the market.

    How does that lead to poverty and struggle? It doesn't. It leads to a positive capital gain.

    Sometimes inefficiency is good and sometimes its bad.

  • Agree on the Geofiles comment and also agree with you on the economy. Anyone who takes a basic class in economics knows that capitalism corrects itself through recessions. The government can help, like President Obama did with the Stimulus, and that is still capitalism. A public option in health care would only create better competition so that we have a choice that is fair and not one that is so astronomically high that we choose between health and food. That is still capitalism.

  • You implied that government action is always justified because "we are the government," I am asking you if you really believe that that is the case in the United States. Who cares if I have lost faith in the concept? That is rhetorical nonsense.

    I don't think you understand the stock market. Stocks are indexes of company shares, how can you quantify its efficiency.

    Efficiency is always "bad" in an economic sense. It is the source of poverty and struggle.

    Do yourself a favor and don't reply.

  • Yes, I really believe, here in the US, we are the government. It is not nonsense, it is our political system.

    Stocks are not "indexes" of company shares. Stocks ARE company shares. An index is a group of shares, like the Dow Jones.

    And the plural of index is indices, not "indexes."

    And, yes, efficiency in the market is quantifiable, hence the debate over the Efficient Market Hypothesis.

    You should really know what you're talking about before you try to insult people.

  • It was definitely nonsense for you to suggest that my faith in self-government as a concept has anything to do with whether or not we actually practice it. But now I have gotten your answer, it was like pulling teeth. I am exhausted. But apparently you believe that our government sufficiently represents us. Fine. Thanks for the answer.

  • Pulling teeth?

    I said, "WE are the government," yesterday...

    exactly three posts ago...

    twice in the same post.

    I wasn't exactly avoiding the question.

  • How can you quantify efficiency in the STOCK market? Please reread my post with your thinking cap on.

    Of course efficiency is measured in the market. That is not what we were talking about. That barely qualifies as a straw man.

    Back to it: You claimed inefficiency can be good. You used the stock market as an example. Please enlighten me as to how inefficiency is good in the context of the stock market. And feel free to begin by establishing how efficiency is measured in the stock market.

  • Well, I don't quantify efficiency in the stock market, Louis Bachelier, a French mathematician, first did in his dissertation, "The Theory of Speculation."

    And since then, many, MANY finance professors have quantified the efficiency of the stock market.

    I have already explained how inefficiency can be profitable in my earlier post.

    If you want to learn about the EMH, there are many sites where you can learn all about it. Check it out for yourself, so you don't have to take my word for it.

  • I'll help you out. In your words:

    "When the stock market is inefficient, you can buy a company's stock for less then it's true value. Then, when the price rises back up to the true value, you can sell it for more than what you paid. As the investor, you would MAKE money because of the inefficiency in the market."

    Now please explain how this makes sense in the context of efficient allocation of resources and how it being inefficient is a good thing.

  • When allocating resources we should always be as efficient as possible.

    I do not support an inefficient allocation of resources.

    I've never said that an inefficient allocation of resources is a good thing.

    Where did you get that idea?

  • Do gingers have souls?

  • Goddamn Democrats betrayed their constituents by not standing up to Republicans even though the Dems have a majority. I'm a hard worker but unemployed and need health insurance and because Obama and the Dems have no spine to do the right thing and stick by single payer or public option, I and others will suffer

  • I have faith in President Obama. Everyone is saying that he is doing bad. which he isn't, I think that if you'll give him time he can fix these problems. They won't be fixed right away but as time goes by they will. I can guarantee you

  • Now we know why you go by the name TheJoker178.

  • ok buddy....

  • please ask yourself what the purpose of the presidency is. ask yourself what the purpose of government is.

    is government capable of fixing problems? or do they just cause the very problems that we want fixed?

    these are important questions.

  • Quotes from Omama:

    "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

    "My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join me as we try to change it."

    "I ceased to advertise my mothers race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

    "I found solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race."

  • WAKEUP AMERICA

    Its not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that theyve got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economys good for folks from the bottom up, its gonna be good for everybody I think when you spread the wealth around, its good for everybody. - Barack Obama

  • DID YOU KNOW:

    Obama attended meetings with the "Chicago Democratic Socialists of America.

    The Chicago Democratic Socialists Endorsed Obama in the March 19th Primary Election.

    Obama's mother attended classes in high school where there was a member of the Communist party on the school board. 2 teachers that highly influenced her life taught about Communism and Marxism.

    Obama Endorses Bernie Sanders, the only openly socialist senator in the US Senate.

  • @DemocraticFreedom Typical anti Obama person grasping at straws

  • this guy is trouble trouble trouble!

    it doesn't matter which party you're in, rep or dem, our government is too big, and has taken too much power!

    they're against big corporations giving huge executive bonuses - has anyone looked at what congress and senate are paying THEMSELVES?? if they really care so much about the american people, why aren't they cutting their own pay (and perks)?

  • @boo23232323 why aren't corporations doing the right thing and cutting their own ridiculous bonuses to help the average person simply live a decent life

  • they are enabled by their co-conspirators in government, plain and simple.

    without government involvement, corporations would only be able to earn a profit and pay out huge bonuses by providing goods and services to the community for a fair price.

    with government they can sell a home to someone on a teaser rate, sell off the toxic loan, and then collect government subsidies when they fail.

    only the protection of government enables them to do all the things we hate.

  • The President no one takes seriously.His constituents are falling like dominoes and away we go.Who luvs ya Michelle Robinsion? sweetheart you gettin played not paid. Baby knows who daddy is.
