I guess the bombings and food poisoning in afganistan is a good thing. I guess iran threatening to nuke everyone, is great. I guess the credit rating drop, the massive spending that makes bushy look like a miser both good. please, this clown and his party are intentionally bankrupting the country. socialism is the only logical goal for this party.
It is interesting that I can hear every other video on “YouTube” and once could hear the audio on this video but can no longer hear the audio to "NOT DISAPPOINTED BY PRESIDENT OBAMA" by JAKE LAMAR" ANYONE WHO HAS THE AUDIO WILL YOU UPLOAD IT AGAIN. I and others are having the same experience - (audio not coming through)!
Thanks for your opinion. I t helped me to realize that I had unrealistic expectations of Obama. He is not a savior, he is a politician as you point out.
Thank you, Jake Lamar, for nailing it. This is politics. This is a well-reasoned, POLITICAL argument grounded in the real world and invested in the hope of making it better. If you were to stack every one of the present or former candidates for the 2012 Republican nomination on top of each other, Barack Obama would still tower over them. Signed: a life-long American leftist.

Check it out-Rappin Granny tells Pres. Obama"It's time to Nigger Up". To all you anti-niggerisms-don't get me started. Freedom of speech means I can say what the dot.com I want to. You don't have to like it--I don't care--and you can't shame, blame, defame, my free expression. Truth be told--most people who decry the use of the word -do so because white people want to call niggers -niggers-- and the niggers ain't having that Jack. It ain't OK
@FlatTop1927 And if Obama was able to bring back the economy, restore U.S. prestige abroad, and end Bush's arrogant wars white racists would still hate him. Wait, that IS what Obama is doing!
@landsdown44 You can't blame everything on the white boogieman forever. Remember he got elected in the first place so, evidently race isn't as much of an issue in America as years past. Obama is also trying to instigate a war with Iran like we can afford another conflict. I'm really going to love subsidizing the insurance industry in 2014. Obama is nothing but as empty suit.
@FlatTop1927 You just don't get much right, do you. The fact is that it is Obama who is doing everything possible to avoid armed conflict with Iran. It is idiots like Gingrich and Romney who are doing the sabre rattling.
The facts show that Obama saved the U.S. auto industry. GM has even paid back its bailout with interest. 1.5 million jobs saved. And that's just one item. Looks like you got the "empty suit" thing wrong too.
@landsdown44 What do you think we are doing in with our ships running around the straights of Hormuz? We are trying to start another oil war and fuck the auto industry, that economy is regional to Detroit anyway and it doesn't apply to people hurting nationwide. Look, you go ahead and vote for your black guy, I'll vote for whomever I feel will be more qualified.
@FlatTop1927 The U.S. is protecting it oil shiping routes. Yah, 1.5 million jobs due to saving the auto industry doesn't mean shit. Please, you really need to try a lot harder.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well, well, well--President Obama himself has got Granny's message. Thanks Mr. President-I'm glad you not mad at me like sum of des people is. I'm glad you know I'm not mad at you. I loves me sum Bayrack Obama. I'm gonna vote for you and send you some mo money. I just don't want you to forget the bridge that brought you over. So Granny is wit you. Now it's time for the rest of ya'll do what the Pres, did-"Nigger-Up". See" Rappin Granny Tells Pres. Obama It's Time to Nigger -Up.(youtube).
Not only did you not see American flags being burned, you can actually see clips of Arab Spring protesters chanting "Yes We Can". Don't take my word for it, it's true.
Yeah, Obomba is much beloved around the world with his shadow wars, torture, illegal intervention in Libya, attempted coup in Ecuador of a democratically-elected leader, and free-trade agreements he's forced upon countries as part of his "shrewd pragmatism" in service of Wall St. and the Military Industrial Complex.
Oh, and the "Son of Africa" has killed more blacks than George Bush did in 8 years. Look up "Obama Congo" and see the results for yourself.
It's really admirable how you can brush off imperial fascism with a wave of the hand, but then again apologists for death and despair often do that. Tell me, can I blame HObama for continuing and expanding the worst Bush policies? How about not prosecuting the Bush administration for war crimes, and in fact pressuring the Spaniards to drop their prosecution case? How about the debt crisis? ...to be continued...
....don't forget --> Extending the Patriot Act, NDAA and indefinite detention, targeted assassination of American citizens overseas (even children), torture, rendition, and Monsanto control of the FDA, EPA, USDA and banking cartel control of our financial markets and currency. This man has been a catastrophe for Civil Liberties and as big an obstacle to peace and justice as any criminal US president.
@marxmench74 The catastrophy for our civil liberties ended with the Bush Presidency. Your "banking cartel control" is more conspiracy theory than anything else. The Financial regulation act will help stop the banking reckless behavior. The Atty. Gen. Office is investigating those who caused the collapse of our economy which occured because the Bush administration ignored its responsibility. Both Romney and Newt are pathetic and their records prove it.
@landsdown44 You are so indoctrinated it's sad. HObama has assaulted civil liberties and violated the Bill of Rights much more than even Bush. Have you tried protesting in a city run by Democrats lately or are you like that ass-sucker in the video and living abroad? Wall St. runs the country and your puppet in the White House. Eric Holder is a fascist, ask my friends in Latin America. This new "settlement" for foreclosures is another appalling slap on the wrist for the criminals.
@marxmench74 There is a simple diagnosis to your problem. You have listed to the tea baggers bs and you get your fake news from Fox Fiction. Your entire post is nothing more than made up bullshit. Sorry, I hate to be so blunt, but you're just not catching on.
@landsdown44 Fox? Don't watch it, just like the other newsfilter propaganda channels in the homebase of the Fascist Empire. Don't rely on what your favorite ass-kissing stooges in the media tell you, think for yourself and smell the bullshit. You are the one denying reality, Obama was a complete deception set up to allow the criminals to get away with MORE than they could ever hope to do with an easy punching bag like Bush.
@marxmench74 You have aboslutely ZERO evidence to support any of your conspiracy thories. Your accusations against Holder are void of any evidence. You are completely on empty. There is nothing else to say to someone as ignorant as you have revealed yourself to be. Go Obama!!!!
@landsdown44 And don't give me that paternalistic fucking jive and keyboard courage, you stupid shit. Holder has been responsible for mass murder in Mexico and Colombia, look up Africom on YouTube and see what your savior HObama has been up to, killing for oil and minerals just like Bush.
This must have been done before Newt said, "Poor children have no work ethic (unless it is illegal). They are not used to seeing someone work. Let them clean toilets and vomit in their schools for a few bucks. We can fire the unionized janitor". Jerk!
@imhoneyman-given the choice between Pres. Obama and the other candidates--I'll choose the Pres. all over again. Furthermore--we owe it to him to let him know we are not satisfied with his performance. This is what Rappin Granny was talking about.See" Rappin Granny tells Pres Obama"It's time to Nigger-Up. Rappin Granny was not kidding when she said-"clock them clowns". I agree with her--do any of you.
Glad that someone has finally spoken up and brought up his accomplishments. I am sick and tired of those who are willing to vote against anything and everything that will move this country forward. Don't understand how Americans can support a party that is totally negative on all issues that would better the country and its people. I would only hope the 99% wake up and speak out!
I wouldn't be disappointed either if he told the truth about himself - opened his records to the public like every other president has done.
Nor if he had not brought in Marxist, Communist, and others connected to socialist left wing organizations to advise him on how to move this country into a One World Government that is doomed to failure. Nor if he had done something to stabilize the value of our dollar.
Nor had he not allowed the health care reform before scrutinizing it +more
Let's give the President Obama another term, and after that let history judge him. Re-elect Obama 2012. He is correct that the American flag hasn't been burned in any other country out of hate in the last four years. I never thought of that.
@holographicnevez Really sick of the far left making idiotic remarks like this. Running for office is NOT selling out. President Obama is not just president of liberals - he's president of the entire country.
the calamities obama inherited included a toxic banking environment. capitalism without rules is every bit (in the end) as inefficient as any purely planned economy. the financial sector of must be subject to federal oversight. the needs today mirror the needs that resulted in glass-steagall yet the response from the oval office has been more on the order of swiping a mop and applying a bit of wax. aggressive risk taking must be subject to regulation to prevent another worldwide meltdown.
i'm thrilled that obama was able to drive health care reform. but the gross inefficiencies in the current approach have been left minimally affected. rather than a transformation of health care economics, we can expect a one time, (too small) savings followed by continuing unsustainable cost increases. the obama system is a band-aid on a system moving towards the icu.
tg for obama. i wish he had understood from day 1 that the right is at war with reason. like iran, they will not negotiate.
obama has and continues to ignore the single most devastating result of reaganomics: the manufacturing base of the country has been decimated through tax policies rewarding offshore manufacturing. unlike germany (highest cost labor in the world?), which has maintained manufacturing as a percentage gdp, the us has come to a point where keynsian approaches to economic management are blunted severely. the demand for goods resulting from stimulus creates too many jobs in china, too few in the us.
i fear that obama, by escewing partisan politics for two-and-a-half years, may have created the conditions for his own defeat. rather than pushing for a realistic recovery program, upon taking office, obama negotiated with the opposition and settled for a package 1/2 the size required for any hope of success. a partisan approach (along with economic advisors not beholden to the scions of wall street) may have driven earlier, more meaningful success and allowed the midterms to swing towards dems.
I'm so tired of the apologists who give Obama free reign simply because he's a "better alternative" to Bush and CO. They stopped paying attention and say Obama inherited Bush's mess, so they think they can have a clear conscience. They deny the truth that banking cartels run the White House and criminal entities have hijacked our government. By supporting the status quo, you are supporting evil.
Uninformed individuals who listen to this will be so lost because they rely on misinformation and Repub talking points for their information. President Obama is a brilliant and fair leader who has tried to work across the aisle. Repubs destroyed our economy and seem hell bent on making sure it is in total shambles within a very short time. UnAmerican Obstructionists have done all they can to hurt this country in their roles as Corporate Political Puppets of Wall Street. RE-ELECT PRESIDENT OBAMA
Obama is a man not a God. Also his economic policies have all failed miserably because they are based in a view of how economies grow that has long been discredited. Spending can't fix economies it only makes economies worse
Not 1 real legitimate supporting argument, instead an endless stream of MSM quotes and establishment administration statements. Lamar has no opinions of his own and can clearly be seen reading off the computer before addressing "his beliefs". Apologists like this drive me up the wall with their hive-mind smugness. Do you have any opinions of your own? Classy how he found a way to throw Nader under the bus, too. The saddest part is seeing all the supporters of this 6 minute misinformation video.
President Obama didn't sign the bailout bill for the auto industry it was George Bush in December '08 but regardless I've never seen a president stand as strong as him with as much opposition that he has faced since taking his oath. If people would look at the general picture they would recognize that he is the best thing for this country and has the best chance of making things right when in comparison to his competition.
Jake Lamar you may choose to ignore the fact that the devaluation of the dollars is causing my paycheck to buy less. It i snot that price of food is going up but that the value of my paycheck is going down. Obama did nothing to stop the Federal Reserve to loan out 16 trillion to private foreign banks. president Obama has members of Goldman Sachs advising him.
Jake Lamar did you know that when Obama attacked North Africa he killed woman and children. What do you think the people that saw the deaths? Do you think they are going to like the USA? We know beyond any doubt that we attacked because we wanted something from Libya. Perhaps we wanted to stop Kadhafi from his plans to promote the Dinar. Only those who are mentally challenge will believe that we were defending the civilians there. It is obvious that the chaos was the handiwork of the CIA.
Jake Lamar do you know who controls the Economy in this country? A few insider banks. They do so with creating money out of thin air using the fractional reserve lending scheme. Did Obama do anything to allow the public to affect those making decision that affect the economy of this country? No he did not. He actually gave them more power via the Federal Reserve so they can continue to convene in private conference rooms and dictate the direction of the economy.
I like the direction the President is going in. He must have seen the video" Rappin Granny tells Pres Obama "It time to Nigger UP. What does that mean? TO Black Folk--it means that we supported you then and we support you now. BUT(and this is a BIG BUT). U O US---AND WE EXPECT YOU TO REMEMBER THAT--WHEN WE RETURN THE BLACK GUY TO THE WHITE HOUSE.!!!! DON'T LET US HAVE TO NIGGER UP ON YOU BRO.-- "NOW RUN TELL THAT".
If you want to understand President Obama and see the world through his eyes, then watch the documentary I Am. He is a "BIG PICTURE" President. That and also listen to Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's book "My Stoke of insight."...If you want to understand an ENFJ. That is his personality type.
OBAMA CLEARLY gets the fundamental Einstein quote "The Intuitive mind (R brain hemisphere) is a SACRED GIFT and the reasoning mind (L brain hemisphere) is a faithful servant...But we have created a Society where the servant is honored and the gift is forgotten." I would even go farther and say that I bet he gets that we are note alone...like in the recent Documentary Wake Up the movie.
He has been Presidential and has repeatedly chiseled the stone mountain of bringing the country, the world together on a wide spectrum of issues. He is a BIG PICTURE President, He clearly sees that "Party' is not who we are, but rather something we wear & do. He GETS IT! He knows that we are not just villages and separate families, but rather ONE WORLD with ONE family called the HUMAN family :)
You want Obama to take credit for the Iraq War and execution of Osama Bin Laden? Right or wrong, Obama was very vocal against US military activities in Iraq and Afghanistan when he was a US Senator. Now you are trying to sell hubris that he is respopnsible for them as a success? You must be smoking crack.
@winstonsmith60626 Obama is responsible for ending the war in Iraq, which he campaigned on in '08. He is responsible for killing BinLaden, who attacked us. Yes, those are consistent actions. Maybe you are the one smoking something funny.
@winstonsmith60626 - Obama was NEVER a vocal opponent against US military activities in Afghanistan, only our neglect of the situation there. Granted, he was against Iraq as senator. You may as well pass the pipe...
Not disapointed in Obama's Health Care Reform Bill? Obama's Health Care Reform Act is merely an expansion of LBJ's 1965 Medicade Act and provide benefits to illegal aliens who should not be living in the USA who shouldn't be receiving benefits from subsidized programs. The working families which Obama promised to help were thrown under the bus to expanded health care to those already surviving off of the social safety net;at the expense of working families who Obama promised coverage in 2008
@winstonsmith60626 Many illegals are paying into a social security system from which they will never collect a penny. I wish Obama's health care act was an expansion of the Medicare or Medicade act. It's not that good. The stimulus pkg. added between 2-3 million jobs according to the non-partison CBO. Legislation to help stop forclosures worked for hundreds of thousands. It should have been expanded for more. Unfortunately Republicans would rather give the 1% tax breaks than do the right thing.
@MyTemporaryAccount88 An honest comparison of Bush and Obama and there is only one conclusion that fits facts. We are FAR better off with Obama. Politics will always be politics but there is far more integrity in the White House now.
Thanks for the insight. The media has been so focused on the Republican nominees that I've only heard Republican views. It's refreshing to hear a more Democratic perspective for a change.
To Obama Haters--it's time to unmask you for what you really are --simply this-YOU ARE BIGOTS WHO ARE INCENSED THAT PRES. OBAMA IS THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD ! ALL OF YOUR PSEUDO INTELECTUAL SPOUTING TO THE CONTRARY-YOU ARE A DECEITFUL BUNCH A NEO-SEGREGATIONIST whose main and only objective is to "GET THE BLACK GUY OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE". The battle has been joined--It's time for Pres.Obama & all people who love freedom, justice, equality to NIGGER UP and take it to them. Rappin Granny-utube
OBAMA IS A CFR, NWO, TRILATERAL COMMISSION STOOGE. Meanwhile you are a racist because you think that the reason we dont like Obama is because he is black, dismissing his obvious attachment to Wall Street.
@califdon This is not conspiracy, this is rather obvious if you bother to read. Pick up any college text book and it will teach you about fractional reserve lending. Read about the derivative scam. Read about the 16 trillion loaned to domestic and foreign bank. This is common news, only a numb nuts would call it a conspiracy.
Bull this guy is a sweet talker and the unemployment rate is not what is advertized in the liberal media. Yes we have had a bit of increase but we do every year at holiday time. Loads of people are also under employed. His staff which he choose is the worse in all of my 77+ years. Starting with his energy czar. I could go on for ever about his poorly handled situations. Just remember Solyndra issue and the Boeing issue and he is kissing a's of the unions that are ruining this country.
@MrSteve1138 There is no "liberal media" unemployment rate. There is just one. And there is only one network, advertizing itself as news that invents news as it goes. That is FOX Fiction. The Middle Class is being destroyed by the republican party. We need labor to bring it back.
Yes, maybe I am too easily disappointed and wish for too much. But you are never going to get what you don't ask for. I am no longer going to sit around and "hope" for it. In fact, it is now time to demand "change".
(2 of ?) I am disappointed that he hasn't lifted a finger or said a word about the deplorable treatment of demonstrators exercising their 1st amendment rights. I am disappointed that DHS is likely behind much of this treatment/poor behavior by our peace officers.
I am disappointed that the US has made no significant improvements in renewable energy and the white house is now allowing to BP to drill even deeper into the gulf coast.
(1 of ?) It's a speech with some VERY good points. However, I am very disappointed with the fact that Guantanimo is still open and Habeus Corpus is gone and that the 2012 NDAA codifies disregard for several sections of the bill of rights.
Not sure about he's talking about in regards to health care. It sure isn't helping our family - we've seen our premiums almost double in 4 years and our benefits decline.
note to haters...people are either asking for love or giving love.. i choose to give love.. God Bless the haters AND our President - he is your President too !!!
Check it out-Rappin Granny tells Pres. Obama"It's time to Nigger Up". And to all you anti-niggerism-don't get me started. Freedom of speech means I can say what the dot.com I want to. You don't have to like it--I don't care--and you can't shame, blame, defame, my free expression. Truth be told--most people who decry the use of the word -do so because white people want to call niggers -niggers-- and the niggers ain't having that Jack. It ain't OK
LOVE is not "how to feel about someone”—but rather “what you are willing to give to help someone you love. God loved so much that He gave. That's exactly what Rappin Granny is doing for Pres. Obama--telling him what the Lord loves-- the wholetruf" even if he don't want to hear it.! Rappin Granny tells Pres.Obama "It's time to Nigger-UP"
Hey - Why Not Say This In America - OHB is like Gandhi???? You Guys are NUTS!!!! & NUTS 2 U - 2012 will be the death of your party in America U Socialist Freaks :) Have a Nice Day
We have absolutely the best man for the job in the White House right now. Period.
He's not a socialist. He's not a communist. He's not a Marxist. Stop listening to fringe far-right talking points cooked up in think-tanks and try to think for yourself.
I agree completely with this video, the accomplishments of President Obama have been considerable considering the opposition he has faced. He also saved the auto industry. Without his bailout, which has been completely paid back with interest, there would be no American owned auto maker in the world. Thank you Mr. President. I can't wait to help elect you to a second term!
@Hewhosmokeswomen Even Ford stated that it would not have made it had the other auto bailouts not occured. You should pay more attention to facts before calling names and looking foolish.
@LbsTheMovie you're a republican alright. A man whose trying to help the nation get back on it's feet is called a puppet...I wish all of you republicans got what the people in Wisconsin got. Anal pop with no protection. You republicans will learn.
@jdub0510 i'm a lifelong democrat who voted for obama. suck it. i'm disappointed because his economic team is made up of conservatives fighting for the rich. he is far from being a man who is trying to help the nation. you need to watch the last 30 minutes of "inside job" which won the oscar for best documentary
It's sad that the very people who need this the most don't understand the man, the mission or how he has given in to get something for the many who need it the most.
If he didn't give in to some concessions the middle class and poor would be even further back.
Some of us don't get it and never will because of their being political blind to the "class warfare"rhetoric being blown around by the few who want to control the many.
Blind people don't want to help or saved, only to complain.
Ron Paul is the only candidate who predicted and warned against the economic crisis, who understood and explained the reasons for it, and who offers a viable solution.
Ron Paul is the only candidate who really means it when he says he wants to bring our troops home and scale down our unsustainable and unreasonable empire.
Ron Paul is the only candidate who is serious about slashing spending and eliminating taxes.
@thepinata Yes that is the issue-I have never heard Pres. Obama say "I'm not the Pres of just persons of Hispanic/Latino descent, or I'm not the Pres of just persons who are homosexual in orientation, or I'm not just the Pres.of Jewish persons who regard Isreal as their Promised Land. Rather, this Pres. has openly and usually,very visibly advocated and delivered specific policies that favorable address their UNIQUE INTEREST. Yet, not so for Americans of African origins. PBO-NIGGER-UP!
Obama's policies have been horrible. "Looking for consecutive compromise" is just another way of saying "Not leading, but standing for compromise over principal". Not being disappointed by him is laughably ignorant. His environmental, educational, immigration and economic polices have all been FAR worse than President Bush's. He is about as bad as it gets. A puppet of Wall St banning birth control for teens, forcing a mandate on health care and keeping our broke asses in Afghanistan.

Well if you agree with this guy, then you are obviously a socialist....a Progressive...and perhaps a brand of marxist, and if he truly understood what was going on he'd have a different opinion. Its not about Democrat or Republican, if you are still thinking that way, then you need to think again. Its about Progressivism, which is the cancer of American society. Wilson, FDR, Carter, and Obama....the most damaging presidents of our entire American history. Gingrich = Obama = failed State
@erik8345 -Erik, so well stated! Bottom line is that the president's leanings are clearly marxist hands down. He didn't kill Bin Ladin, our Navy did after long search efforts. I was open minded about Obama until: He went on his America apology tour. He pushed the health care proviso that persons w/o health care would be fined. Congress is exempt from his health care law (Why?). Refuses to show the thesis he wrote in college as other presidents have. Greatly increased our debt.
Continuing-- The greed mentality of this country dictates that the rich extract the most from the people who have the least. It’s not the Economy—It’s the SYSTEM, STUPID!! So Pres. Obama—you’d better listen to Rappin Granny’s “IT’S TIME TO NIGGER UP-(YouTube video)-or else YOU’RE FIRED.
WE have a right be disappointed with the lack of fire in his belly and, the lack of righteous indignation towards those who demonize people who are LOCKED OUT OF THE OPPORTUNITY STRUCTURE-NOT because they are lazy and don't have a desire to better themselves through education and hard work. It is because of being locked out of the OPPORTUNITY STRUCTURE--WHICH EXISTS TO PERPETUATE THE STATUS QUO !!
Yes,I'll say it again, DOCTOR Jake Lamar, Harvard graduate, who lives in PARIS, FRANCE,is standing in front of a lectern, reciting from a teleprompter, a (canned) speech designed interdict constructive criticism of OUR PRESIDENT.As you may remember,we (African)- American have a right to express our disappointment with the President. We have a right to be disappointed with the lack of specificity being accorded to issues which are unique to BLACK PEOPLE ,based on dimension and scope . 2 B continu
@wholetruf but that's the issue. blacks arent the only ones who voted him into office. blacks arent the only ones suffering in America--although our unemployment rates are highest. obama has had to face issues that are American first, not just black. McCain, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, etc. wouldve forced social policies making the struggle of minorities even more serious. Elections have become a search for the least irritating candidate- and while its irrelevant im a broke black college student
if we were to buy into the logic of republicans or anybody that obama is horrible with the economy and it's obamas fault how the jobs market is, then they republicans should agree all country's in the world right now have horrible presidents or leaders because they are all having issues with economy and are having no luck or seem not to have the right policy's to correct it, as if we had a republican president that would help NOT things would get better only for the rich not the working class.
Thanks, Mr. Lamar, for your thoughtfulness. It does strike me that 'moderates' on the Republican side, who might be inclined to work with the president, are drawn by party & electoral politics to oppose him, with the sole goal of defeating him in 2012. The opposition party leaders don't seem concerned that their obstructiveness does iimmediate harm to the general welfare. Thanks for making the point that Gandhi & MLK were social leaders, not elected.
Are you kidding me? This president has done almost nothing promised. There is no excuse. He is already being considered for one of the, if no, the "worst" president in the history of the US. I'm sorry that it went so bad. I really wanted everything to go well for Obama especially since he is the first black president. We're talking about the "president" here. Obama sucks as a president! We don't need another Jimmy Carter, we need another Ronald Reagan right now.
@gusanomarielito what are you talking about, you need the other party to work with you to get things done for a president who's had no support at all from day one from the Republicans Obama has done a Great job, you think one man the president can change everything wake up and smell the coffee, can a president do everything promised without support to do those things Doubtful, try stating why you think he's bad and stick to facts not a BS republican view, Reagan Sucked as pres.
@musclegenii Obama sucks. The end is the result, not the means; and his end sucks. I'm sorry that he does but he does. I wanted him to be a great president but he is not. I'm sorry to have to tell you this like it is. He is already being considered for the worst president in the history of the US. Ronald Reagan was a great president with enough evidence to support that fact. The Gipper saved the US after another similar democrat almost destroyed it - Jimmy Carter. Obama = Carter2 on steroids.
@gusanomarielito Do your fact checkin Reagan is the Pres that quadrupled homelessness in the state of CA when he closed mental institutions & caused the 1st loss of folks pensions when he deregulated the banks/saving & loans. Do you remember? Uhm he raised taxes yep it was the genesis of middle class declined; he took away numerous tax credits from ordinary people. Miss me w/your ignorance! You should check the POTUSA record 4 yourself & stop listening to Fox (No)News! <3 <3!!!
@onpurposeseekinghim You are entitled to your own opinion based on facts but I can also produce fact about the success of Ronald Reagan. He put this country back in track after Jimmy Carter almost destroyed it. Obama is another Jimmy Carter socialist/semi-communist version 2 - saying that "we need to spread the wealth". What the f... do you think is gonna happen if you say that? Everybody pulls their money and banks stop lending. Obama is no-good radical ultra-socialist and he needs to "GOOO..."
@gusanomarielito Bull.com-and if you don't know what that means ask Rappin Granny-and she'll tell your dumb.com-what the dot.com she means. If Rappin Grany told Pres. Obama, it's time to Nigger Up(see you tube) what makes you think you can get away with this crock of .com. Now run tell that!!
@wholetruf I heard that rappin granny video and I was not impressed. I refuse to give credit to anything mention the "N" word except those that advocate for the negation of the word. I don't think it's funny or cool. Millions of ancestors suffered the cruelty of the word and it is very, very, very disrespectful. It's a huge disgrace to propagate the word and most especially other blacks. I don't understand it; seems very much as lack of value and self-worth. "What you say you are you become".
@gusanomarielito Haha ROTHFLOL! Not even... he will go down as one of the greats. BTW Reagan is one the most loved by & hollowed by Republicans. Fact of the matter he ended the cold war & birthed deregulation & unbridled greed for the rich. The President being Black as nothing to do w/anything other proof of your own bigotry. Read a book... and stop promoting the thoughts of others... His-story is not real history!
@onpurposeseekinghim Records show the facts. Reagan found a country in decline thanks to Jimmy Carter. Reagan is loved by republicans and very respected by everyone else, even communists and ultra-leftists. Who u calling bigot? Did I write anything to make you think that? You are racially paranoid. I'm do my own thoughts and conclusions. Stop bashing republicans. Martin Luther King was republican. Republicans like Lincoln fought to abolish slavery; Democrats where pro-slavery. You need read!
LISTEN MY FELLOWS REPUBLICANS, SINCE RONALD REAGAN ADMINISTRATION, WE DONT HAVE A LEGAL, SINCERE ,CLEAN, & BRAIN REPUBLICAN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. LETS THE BROTHER BE RE-ELECT AGAIN. LETS BRING USA IN THE MONEY, JOB & HEALTH AGAIN LIKE BACK IN THE 80'. IBORU IBOLLA IBOSHESHE
Dare I say "articulate"!! Intelligent discussion of President's progressiveness. But Obama needs a little fire in his belly, and not just at election time. Liberals would love for him to call a spade a spade!!
@bonnieleadsinger So would I-It's time for him to "NIGGER UP" Ask Rappin Granny--she told the President "It's time to NIGGER UP(YOUTUBE)--GROVES OFF-- THROW DOWN and CLOCK THEM CLOWNS. She ain't playing. Check her out.
A very eloquent spin on the nothingness of Obama's administration. Health care reform? It gives nothing to anyone, criminalizes those without insurance and drives small business into the ground. He did not prevent a depression, he sold us out to the big banks in the form of eternal debt. He won't implement higher taxes on "the rich" anymore than he would cut off his own head. "The rich" are the ones who put him in office and will keep him there if they so desire. Oops, out of words.
@northerntropics: Now I know who you are.. You're a "ringer" trying to appear like a thoughtful "progressive". But in reality you're just another Pres Obama basher. Now run tell that!!
I'm not going to dignify the misguided responses below, except to say that I think Mr. Lamar's comments are well thought out and articulate, whether one agrees with all of his points or not. And I, too, will vote for Obama in the next election. Movement has indeed been slow, but at least it's been largely in a forward direction.
How about a video where you respond to the honest criticisms of Glenn Greenwald? I heard nothing in your video about all of the abysmal Bush/Cheney policies that Obama has validated and created bi-partisan consensus for.
@northerntropics-Why don't you just tell us how you really feel. You sure know how to NIGGER UP! Rappin Granny just wonders who are you speaking for. Who is your reference group? Or are you a Lone Wolf ?
The Dems had 59+Biden. My Constitution says the VP breaks ties so 50+Biden WINS so why did we lose! POTUS & the Dems had TWO years to REPEAL the Bush tax cuts, and POTUS can close Gitmo tomorrow and could have ended DADT simply by issuing an order as C-I-C. So don't tell me to blame everything on the GOP. Why hasn't the AG (part of the Exec branch) arrested the banksters. Remember if you are not part of the solution you ARE part of the problem!
Is not class warfare? I have news for you. It is class warfare and we, the 99% are loosing. We have been loosing for the last 30 or 40 years. Obama says is not about class warfare because his rich wall-street funding would dry. Is all about the money math of his prostitution to the Banksters.
@northerntropics ...you are exactly right. There is so much false information in this video it's hard to know where to start, but there is always going to be uninformed liberal idiots that lap this up like dogs.
I wanted Bin Laden in a court of law, not assassinated in front of his wife mob style with his body dumped in the ocean with cement shoes. If you are proud of that then you might as well vote for the other guys.
Yes you are a voice in the wilderness. A lonely voice in the wilderness defending a political system where both parties defend the rights of Corporations and very wealthy individuals against the rights of the rest of us.
Obama was not just being a 'realist' when he decided to defend war while he was receiving his Nobel Peace Prize, he was being an hypocritical asshole defending his expansion of the war and his empire building wars.
I guess the bombings and food poisoning in afganistan is a good thing. I guess iran threatening to nuke everyone, is great. I guess the credit rating drop, the massive spending that makes bushy look like a miser both good. please, this clown and his party are intentionally bankrupting the country. socialism is the only logical goal for this party.

the calamities obama inherited included a toxic banking environment. capitalism without rules is every bit (in the end) as inefficient as any purely planned economy. the financial sector of must be subject to federal oversight. the needs today mirror the needs that resulted in glass-steagall yet the response from the oval office has been more on the order of swiping a mop and applying a bit of wax. aggressive risk taking must be subject to regulation to prevent another worldwide meltdown.

i'm thrilled that obama was able to drive health care reform. but the gross inefficiencies in the current approach have been left minimally affected. rather than a transformation of health care economics, we can expect a one time, (too small) savings followed by continuing unsustainable cost increases. the obama system is a band-aid on a system moving towards the icu.
tg for obama. i wish he had understood from day 1 that the right is at war with reason. like iran, they will not negotiate.

obama has and continues to ignore the single most devastating result of reaganomics: the manufacturing base of the country has been decimated through tax policies rewarding offshore manufacturing. unlike germany (highest cost labor in the world?), which has maintained manufacturing as a percentage gdp, the us has come to a point where keynsian approaches to economic management are blunted severely. the demand for goods resulting from stimulus creates too many jobs in china, too few in the us.
imhoneyman 1 month ago
i fear that obama, by escewing partisan politics for two-and-a-half years, may have created the conditions for his own defeat. rather than pushing for a realistic recovery program, upon taking office, obama negotiated with the opposition and settled for a package 1/2 the size required for any hope of success. a partisan approach (along with economic advisors not beholden to the scions of wall street) may have driven earlier, more meaningful success and allowed the midterms to swing towards dems.

Check it out-Rappin Granny tells Pres. Obama"It's time to Nigger Up". And to all you anti-niggerism-don't get me started. Freedom of speech means I can say what the dot.com I want to. You don't have to like it--I don't care--and you can't shame, blame, defame, my free expression. Truth be told--most people who decry the use of the word -do so because white people want to call niggers -niggers-- and the niggers ain't having that Jack. It ain't OK

LOVE is not "how to feel about someone”—but rather “what you are willing to give to help someone you love. God loved so much that He gave. That's exactly what Rappin Granny is doing for Pres. Obama--telling him what the Lord loves-- the wholetruf" even if he don't want to hear it.! Rappin Granny tells Pres.Obama "It's time to Nigger-UP"

I agree completely with this video, the accomplishments of President Obama have been considerable considering the opposition he has faced. He also saved the auto industry. Without his bailout, which has been completely paid back with interest, there would be no American owned auto maker in the world. Thank you Mr. President. I can't wait to help elect you to a second term!

It's sad that the very people who need this the most don't understand the man, the mission or how he has given in to get something for the many who need it the most.
If he didn't give in to some concessions the middle class and poor would be even further back.
Some of us don't get it and never will because of their being political blind to the "class warfare"rhetoric being blown around by the few who want to control the many.
Blind people don't want to help or saved, only to complain.

@thepinata Yes that is the issue-I have never heard Pres. Obama say "I'm not the Pres of just persons of Hispanic/Latino descent, or I'm not the Pres of just persons who are homosexual in orientation, or I'm not just the Pres.of Jewish persons who regard Isreal as their Promised Land. Rather, this Pres. has openly and usually,very visibly advocated and delivered specific policies that favorable address their UNIQUE INTEREST. Yet, not so for Americans of African origins. PBO-NIGGER-UP!

Obama's policies have been horrible. "Looking for consecutive compromise" is just another way of saying "Not leading, but standing for compromise over principal". Not being disappointed by him is laughably ignorant. His environmental, educational, immigration and economic polices have all been FAR worse than President Bush's. He is about as bad as it gets. A puppet of Wall St banning birth control for teens, forcing a mandate on health care and keeping our broke asses in Afghanistan.

Its not about Democrat or Republican, if you are still thinking that way, then you need to think again. Its about Progressivism, which is the cancer of American society. Wilson, FDR, Carter, and Obama....the most damaging presidents of our entire American history. Gingrich = Obama = failed State

@erik8345 -Erik, so well stated! Bottom line is that the president's leanings are clearly marxist hands down. He didn't kill Bin Ladin, our Navy did after long search efforts. I was open minded about Obama until: He went on his America apology tour. He pushed the health care proviso that persons w/o health care would be fined. Congress is exempt from his health care law (Why?). Refuses to show the thesis he wrote in college as other presidents have. Greatly increased our debt.

Thanks, Mr. Lamar, for your thoughtfulness. It does strike me that 'moderates' on the Republican side, who might be inclined to work with the president, are drawn by party & electoral politics to oppose him, with the sole goal of defeating him in 2012. The opposition party leaders don't seem concerned that their obstructiveness does iimmediate harm to the general welfare. Thanks for making the point that Gandhi & MLK were social leaders, not elected.

A very eloquent spin on the nothingness of Obama's administration. Health care reform? It gives nothing to anyone, criminalizes those without insurance and drives small business into the ground. He did not prevent a depression, he sold us out to the big banks in the form of eternal debt. He won't implement higher taxes on "the rich" anymore than he would cut off his own head. "The rich" are the ones who put him in office and will keep him there if they so desire. Oops, out of words.
