  • Are you freaking kidding me? this is BS, 20 Billion could have been used to creat job, fix the economy, or even used on Amphastructure like new Bridges, Highways, and even High speed rail project.

  • the tarp bailouts actually worked....it saved a million or so jobs, and we got our money back...and thats the truth

  • taxpayer stadium has a good tune

  • Not only was Obama for the bailouts but he forced the senate to vote on it without reading it. He told them if they didn't vote yes the economy would completely collapse and there would be a police state. Check out The Obama Deception for some intersting facts.

  • right on the money dude.

  • i m sorry to any one who was offended by my brother who used my account to post mean comments. his account is morgue_schoolbus if any one wants to know. i m truly sorry to anyone he left mean comments to.

  • instead of brain-dead media-we get bob-that's the kind of change this country needs.i agree w/ almost everything you say bob.the subject matter is well researched,and very prolific!-outstanding!!!

  • This has come to pass as Bob had warned! Time to wake up!

  • u better bail out ur mom!

  • Comment removed

  • Americans are getting screwed by their govt... grandad owns your ass!!!

    what's next?

    Pay the government.. ... or NOT?? Apparently, there's no law that says you have to pay taxes in the states... they go cowboy on yo ass.. u buckem off!

  • You know what's the funny thing, while in the U.S. about 72 banks failed, in Canada not a single bank has faided curently canada had a consvative goverment.

  • Hey Nobama, where is my check?

  • look into Ron Paul if you want to see an honest congressman who doesn't take all the monetary income he's allowed and gives it back, or so I heard... and also check out h.r. 1207 if u haven't already!!!

  • 100% correct

  • He´s correct that the stimulus package will be payed by a tax, but not directly so.

    The Federal reserve will print the shit at loan, and the amounts of dollars available in the market will increase wich will lead to inflation.

    Inflation is a tax, just so you all know because it reduces the value of your money.

  • Bob rocks. One of the few INTELLIGENT people left in this brainwashed country. He's yelling at you SO THAT MAYBE YOU WILL WAKE UP! His anger is totally understandable - we were given brains for a reason- TO USE THEM!

  • @wurlytone

    ...I partly agree with you...

    Zeitgeist ftw...

  • I work 40 hours a week to be this poor......

  • FED: we apologize for destroying the middle class, but it was a good idea eh?

  • Thomas Jefferson said:

    "I sincerely believe the banking institute having the issuing power of money, are MORE DANGEROUS to LIBERTY than standing armies".

  • Well, not to defend corrupt business men, but Citigroup signed that deal in 2006, before the meltdown. Chances are there is some kind of "early termination" fee if they decide to back out of the contract. W/ out seeing the actual contract, it is reasonable to assume the fee is quite steep. Again, I'm not trying to stick up for Citigroup, but I'm simply trying to offer an alternative explanation.

  • Only rational person here. Before Bob even mentioned Fascism, Communism, etc. I actually thought he sounded more like Hitler than anything in this video, pandering to the ignorant masses. Listening to his generalized messages, or listening to the mass media, it makes no difference.

    In the world of high finance, it takes one angry white dude to set things right. Sounds like a good summer cheese flick to me. 2 hours of him shouting at you through a big screen.

  • Although I enjoy watching his videos, I do realize that some people take him too seriously. I watch them for entertainment purposes only and I am mature enough to sift through the sometimes silly suggestions etc. presented by bob to see the premise of his message. I would like to think most people are like me in that respect. However, I am afraid that is not the case. I just see him as an interesting form of entertainment.

  • whats it gonna take for me to wake up? more of your vids.

  • I can see capitalism from my house.

  • America has put all this on they're grandchildren all these bailouts are gonna fall on them,sorry

  • You would be taken more seriously if you would tone it down a little bit. You make many valid points. I dont know if you know this, but talking like you do is horrible for your health: blood pressure, heart, and particularly what you're doing to your throat. take care and thank GOD for freedom of speech. By the way: look up OLIGARCHY.

  • When you vote,vote THIRD party. At least they support the constitution. These fascists in both parties are owned by the rich bank gangsters.

  • sothenisay, i bet he's not mad at obama. i bet he's mad at the fact that he is being used as a puppet for big buisness such as the oil companies, food industries and the such.

  • i'm packin--lets do this thing already.

  • What the fuck has happened to our country?

  • Everybody fell asleep.

  • hell yaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 100 thunbs up

    truth is treason in the emopire of lies

  • No distinction between parties, if you beleive there is then you are a sheep.

    The president is a puppet for corporations in power to get your money and make you so broke you crawl to them begging for help.

  • Listen to what this one has to say, he's right on. Also look into Ron Paul he shares some of the same ideals.

  • America is slowly burning. Just as Rome did.

  • the CHANGE is what we're looking for. Obama is looking for it too. he promised he would try.

    do you not like him? are you mad that mccain lost?

  • Another French revolution is next.

  • Who says he buddies with Bush. Maybe he is a Nader supporter. Just because you aren't pro dems doesn't mean you are in bed with the republicans. This guy is awesome and speaks his mind! Soon he won't be able to though if things keeping. going the way they are

  • Bring on "The Second Revolution" before it is too late to make it back from the precipice!

  • they wont wake up untill vh1 mtv bet and the media lets them..never

  • Yeah government school will teach you all kinds of useful socialist propaganda.

  • You'll feel like more of an idiot when you learn that he likes Ron Paul and is for free market capitalism. Don't diss the free market 'cause it doesn't exist.

  • Keep shoutin', brotha! If that's how you get your voice heard, keep doin' it! It works.  It drew my attention. Just don't pop a vein, okay?

  • I don't think I could have said it any better. Whats next?

  • and i been to china! beleave it or not they have more freedom there and the people stand together agaist the government,unlike here! i saw in a village in chine where the government put up camera and the whole town rip then out,also the china government had put toll boths in the country side and the people burn them down! i love people who comment on other countrys from what they have seen on there fox news!

  • the bailout is at 5 trillion already! not 800 billion!

  • People may understand you better if you slowed the fuck down

  • ...you must be one dumb son of a bitch then. Oh I just saw your name "thebigeasy", well then you are from Louisiana, so there you go, 49th or 50th in education. You still in a FEMA trailer?

  • Wow you worked all that out from my name? shame your all wrong. Im British and grammar school educated and currently at university. but nice try.

    I particularly love your abusive response to a suggestion i made to somebody else. great work! Inferiority complex? thought so

  • And your REBUPLICAIN buddies that you defend so much in the other post are the ones who GAVE THEM THIS BAILOUT! Seriously dude.. you need to take your meds and claim the FUCK down.

  • Because he has to approve of everything the Republicans do?

  • Your Right. capitalism is dead!

    Don't forget Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The media conviently forgets.

  • Dude.... you scare me... XD

  • you rock!

  • Bob, gotta change your poison. If I am not mistaken, Absynth is now legal in the states. Give it a shot.

  • Fantastic rant, dude. No one rants like Bob. Two words: zen meditation. Keep the rants coming, but definitely do some mediation so you won't blow a gasket. Thanks for the great vids.

  • 401k's will be gone next.

  • Wow, ok, one less cup of coffee for you, any way you are right but first the American people needs to keep our cool and use our heads, let our government know we will not take it any more. The money needs to be given to help the working class of American. So far all the money that has been given away on these bailouts is not helping the working class. Our government needs to realize that the working class has to be the focus to help get things back on track.

  • Bob, a few points you forgot in your video:

    1. Citi wanted to buy out Wachovia about 7 weeks back, yet now they need billions? (btw wasn't it 306 billion?), how were they supposed to fucking buy out Wachovia?

    2. This decision bypassed congress......and the senate. It is illegal.

    3. Americans are cattle who will do nothing in the face of government oppression.

  • Maybe if these large corporations would stop paying their employee's $40 an hour, they wouldnt need freakin bailouts.

  • If you can make one video like this every day, five days a week then you wouldn't need to jog or go to the gym.

  • Well said!

  • ya know what whould fix the economy?give every person on earth the equivilant of 1million USD(no joke).people would be buying and etc.

  • he didn't get that mad in this one =/

    he has a great point though

  • NO MORE BAIL OUTS!!!!!!!

  • Bob they will not wake up I have been screaming for a year now and nothing I mean nothing.

    Americans are spoiled and will not wake up until they are eating their neighbors arm for dinner.

  • CORRECT, spoiled. It's also the attitude of "entitlement".People in this nation think that they are entitled to everything. There is little courtesy and everything is me me me me me me me . I was driving in NYC the other day and a lady was blocking traffic on w-8 street in brooklyn. I thought something was wrong with her car. I was wrong. SHE WOULDN'T MOVE BECAUSE SHE SAID SHE WAS TALKING TO HER DAUGHTER ON HER CELLPHONE AND DIDNT WANT TO LOSE THE SIGNAL!, people were pissed justifiably so.

  • Mr: yes, you're correct. Our national motto should be "have a dollar, spend a dollar". No...wait...it should be "have a dollar, spend two dollars (one on credit)".

    This entire fiscal crisis was started by the sub-prime mortgage mess, which was caused by 15 years of giving excessive loans to people that never should have had them.

    BTW, I've travelled all over the world and visited most States, and IMO people in the US are friendlier than most. Although the Northeast is the least friendly.

  • If people would spend their money the econ would come back. When every the government says "we are in need of money." or "We have a finincial crisis" the people freak out and try to spend as little as they can. If we would spend more money it would give these companies the money they need, then give the governemnt the money they need.

  • No problem more is on the way in the form of credit and more debt. You can even by a home again with no money down and a low interest rate.

    Get your wallet out most of us are broke and the credit cards are tapped out.

  • yp, that is another issue, but people who have money, are scarde to spend it because they may lose it. Then you have the people who make like 4 million a year and up keeping their money, untill they have to spend it.

  • You're forgetting something. Your suggestion is how we got in this situation in the first place. It's the opposite. If people SAVED more money, we would not be in this predicament. People were living over their heads for YEARS, borrowing, loans, credit cards and now we see the result. It was bound to happen sooner or later. It was a "fake" economy. I always believed that if you ain't got the cash...YOU DON'T FUCKING BUY !

  • Bob, it is much worse if you actually add the bailouts up. Since March of this year they have totalled $4.7 TRILLION, I am not joking, Starting with the first gifts to Wall street last March, count them up. It is mind boggling. Where it comes from? NOT TAXES or future taxes! It is borrowed! Guess from where?

  • What IS it going to take?

  • Guess what? Its not over... not by a long shot! We are 11 Trillion in debt with a interest of 62 Trillion to boot. Thank you Federal Reserve Inc. Washington DC is nothing but a bunch of drunken idiots with a check book!

  • I don't get it. In Maine we have a mandated balanced budget. We see things the way they really are here. We came up $150 million short (small state, that's a lot here) so 2 weeks ago the governor cut an immediate $70 mill. and on December 15 will be the other $80 mill. to include job cuts. Every gov't dep't had to cut 10% no matter how stretched they already were. Why doesn't the federal gov't. do it this way? It's simple, realistic, and it works and doesn't cause problems down the road.

  • And how do you feel knowing that Obama is also going to bail out the irresponsible states that spent more money than they took in? Billions are going to New York, and soon to California, states that wouldn't know a balanced budget if they saw one. Your state will be punished for its responsibility by sending money to the deadbeat states.

    Secession doesn't sound like such a bad idea.

  • Let them all go under...If thats how we get to socialism, bring it on.

  • Don't feed the angry republican kids...and don't get too close to the fence either.

  • lay off the cocain

  • Money is like becoming a joke in these times, not even consequences if you can't run your company properly,Maby its time for new age of enlightenment, beside we have all this technology, I thought it was supposed to help us WORK LESS, and enjoy life. The truth we do not need to work as much anymore! Hell even stores dont' need cashiers that can be automated also, with a machine. Implemented all this techonology probably less then 20% of the population would need to work at all to maintain it.

  • Man, this guy is keeping it real.

  • lol sounds like someone i know

  • Yeah, we're fucked, but this guy comes off as a whacko.

  • yeah cos he's so pissed all the time.

  • responsible for gm no , citi group no ,

    however they are responsible for the mortage crisis.

  • if i can join the elitist that will reduce earth's human population 5 hundred millions you need to die stop informing these humans

  • WE'RE FUCKED!

  • Agreed!

  • Everyone who continues to tune into Bob's vids and comment for him to "chill out" or "calm down". You are the people that are just too stupid to get it. You are the ones that he is talking to when he says "what's it going to take for you people to wake up?". It's you, you stupid fucks!

  • I'm glad you get it then.

  • I understand completely what he is talking about. These are bad times, but he is seriously pissed off. I think it's his trademark now actually.

  • I have a citicard...if I short my payment to them by $2.00, they have people calling me to find out WHEN I'm going to pay them that f---ing $2.00! They actually pay people salaries + (probably) benefits to harass cardholders for $2.00!!! No wonder they're in trouble!

  • Please, keep yelling! Its the only way you can get you're message across!

  • GET MORE MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • heheheheheheheheh your funny!

  • omg chill the fuck out

  • great point(s). all hail the obama bin biden deity & his capitol hill sanctuary in the U.S.S.A.

  • OK this guy needs to chill out let see how HE DOES 1ST RULING THE WORLD BEFORE STABBING HIM!GOSH U GOT ANGER MANAGEMENT!

  • What? Did the Democrats give Bush any room to "see how he does"? We're gonna give the Democrats and B.Hussain Obama the same space that they did.

  • It's a sad day in America. :(

  • i have a new truck financed with citi auto, and if i cant make my payment , they will take my truck, if they cant make their payments , i will make it for them . that fucking sucks.

    Come

    Help

    Elected americans voters screwed america just so they could say they voted for the first black president

  • Pork, what I find amazing about people like you, is that you completely marginalize Obama's white heritage. His 50% white background from Kansas means absolutely nothing to you...right?

  • incorrect, i am not one who voted for him just because of his race.how do you think jeremiah wright feels about obamas white heritage? obama considers himself black , not mixed, not mulatto , but black , he has said it himself. and what do you mean people like me?? please elaborate(explain)

  • Dude, he marginalized it himself. Read his books. And his mother marginalized it. She was a member of a communist white-hating group that would have sex with black men to get back at whites. That's why she went off with Obama Sr. to live in a hut in Africa with his three other wives. She wasn't some sweet girl from Kansas, she was a self-hating white who wanted to rid the world of them.

  • What commie group was that? You got any facts or are you trying to set a record for bald-faced lies.

  • Huh? The Bailout was Bushs' idea pal.The Dems just went along outta stupidity.Americas been screwed from day one with Bush. People are desperate.Obama was a 180 degree turn. Go figure.

  • the bailout was needed to fix the fininacial fuckup caused by years of liberals(clinton) forcing banks to loan to people who cannot repay , bush did not cause this countrie's finincial; problems all by himself , and just wait and see how obaba fucks america up .

  • Oh Horseshit Greedy Bankers were the fucking reason and the de-regulation help them do it. Nobody forced anybody to do anything. Un-fucking what Bush has done will take a generation. Great job you guys have done so far, which is the only reason obama was ever elected. Lesser of two evils.

  • Hye you stupid ignoramus, why were banks forced BY REGULATION to loan to idiots with no jobs with no down payments? THE GOVERNMENT FORCED THEM TO! Don't you think it is odd that no time in history, EVEN BEFORE THE REGULATIONS WE HAVE NO, banks never did anything as stupid? It all began in 1993 when the community reinvestment act was changed, and the Justice Department under Janet Reno began going after banks for not loaning to deadbeats.

  • Is being that stupid like being drunk all the time? Look pig, the banks were supposed to lend money in proportion to the amount of business they  did in an area. They lent a whole lot more because there was a lot of money to be made and greed took over. Realtors lied, bankers lied, and the people getting those loans were to stupid to realize they couldn't afford it. Quit being a brain dead Jack-ass and do some research.

  • Thats true, But what we all seem to avoid is WHY these people want bailout money, because we buy so much imported stuff our companies are suffering while america goes into extreme debt to china and japan. how can these companies stay on their feet if we can buy the same crap from china except cheaper because it was made in a sweatshop.

  • Awesome video brother as always man 5 all day...

  • great video keep it rolling. i will be watching.

  • Our own country fucked us over.

  • Our government not our country they are in no way the same thing.

  • Not every voter works for the government.

    Our country fucked us over. The ideology of "more for me", or aka the WIIFM Principle, and "worry about who pays for it later" has destroyed us. It's not just the government, the country is infected too.

  • Bob, you're 100% correct in this video, like your other videos. Keep it up. Give 'em hell!

    BTW, I voted against our local member of Congress, Rep. Ackerman, because he was one of the Congressmen who voted for the original $700 billion bailout. It's a shame that 3 out of 4 (~75%) of the sheeple in our district voted for him again, so he will be in Congress even longer.

  • And they were singing,

    "bye-bye, miss american pie."

    Drove my chevy to the levee,

    But the levee was dry.

    And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

    Singing, "this'll be the day that I die.

    "this'll be the day that I die."

  • Were the fuck are your eyebrows Bob. If your mad about anything it should be why your EYEBROWS BAILEDOUT on your FACE.

    crazy lil bigot.

  • The only thing your mother regrets is not bailing you out of her vagina.

  • Only thing your father regrets is not pulling his dick out and tell your mother to swallow you instead.

    P.S. your comebacks are lame like you and the fake as World of Warcraft bullshit game you like to play. Go to Moordor and get fucked Frodo.

  • I don't play wow and your comebacks suck kid.

  • Knights and Elves, whatever kind of game that is on your page. Let me say it in a way you understand." By the sword of greyskull thou dosth sucketh, like none has ever sucketh before."

    There I said it in nerd for yah.

  • Bob's right.

  • The turds up there need to realize that you can't just throw money at the problem

  • Pathetic limp-dick. Can't get it up cos your mouth so big. Go rid your mind of the poison, preferably with a bullet.

  • U voted for bush, thats why were getting hammered on last 55 days of the administration. Be glad you got Obama coming in!!

  • I still say lets have a revolution!

  • Why do people like you tell others to get laid? Is that suppose to determine how 'relevant' they're suppose to be in your sick way of thinking in society? How do you know if he is even single? The guy probably gets more pussy in one week than you ever get in your entire life. So...just go away you psychonut, and never judge who people are personaly ever agian.

    You wouldn't want someone doing that to you, now would you? Hope you learned your lesson, psychonut fuck.

  • We are a soft totalitarian, dictatorship, socialist Country. All ya gotta do is think about it. "Totalitarianism is evident by looking at our Social standings and fad's dictatorship because the Government is corporate and the people pulling the strings are in charge. Socialist because the government is taking money from the poor as well as buying out banks. It's all about money..." So the only way to fix the problem is to have a revolution. if we don't then we will simply become slaves.

  • bob can talk so fast the video cant keep up with the audio.

  • I love listening to Bob here. I know it's a very serious subject, and generaly I agree with what he says but am I the only one that laughs when he starts his rants? I like the way he speaks because it reminds me of an auctioneer. Keep up the work here on the tube Bob.

  • @ Tatarraan

    You're not alone.

  • This guy looks like Michael Rapaport on speed!!

  • haha amen brother,,you tell em

  • When are the American people going to say "ENOUGH!" Hasn't anyone noticed that people who caused this crisis are NOT being held accountable. We are going from bad to worse. Read the Constitution and DO SOMETHING NOW!!!!

  • love these videos, so spot on TRUTH! THE GOVERNMENT SUX!!!!!!!!!!  we ought to drive up to Capital Hill and throw em' all out by their hair!

  • The irony? We're in this mess because everybody thought it was easy money, charge up their credit cards, no money down mortgages. Now the government is giving the bank a bailout to try to get people to borrow more! It just needs to stop. The government should stay out of it and people should take some personal responsibility as well. It will get better, but not if we keep throwing taxpayer money down the drain.

  • Thats your lobbies of work from the republican party. Your blaming OBAMA "LOL" Its THE BUSHIES AND ALL YOU REPUBLICANS.. Whats next is can't wait till OBAMA Is president and fixes all the SHIT YOU AND YOUR KIND HAVE CREATED. And get back to reality .

  • Lol, I love misinformed Idiots.

    Use Google, the economy going down the drain is the DEMOCRAT'S FAULT.

  • Its both the Dems and Republicans faults!!!

  • It is the US Federal Reserve Bank's fault. They are the corporate private bank that pulls all the strings within the Federal Government.

  • Correct, but its also the government's fault for not having enough oversight

  • There is no oversight over the US Federal Reserve Bank and never will be any oversight because they control everything. The Central Bank has a monopolistic control over aggregate money supply, and interest rates. Having that much power we have never had a free market economy EVER.

  • Bullshit. Its not anyone's fault but our own because were too pussy and apathetic to stand up to this monumental injustice.

  • vist my myspace, and join up...

  • when you think about it... can't 20 billion dollars worth of food be sent to African countries (or any other countries in poverty) and fuck the bailouts altogether in order to save MANY MANY starving people. I mean, as Bob implies, the money is used in a useless way! personally, i think that if its to be used in bad manner, then why not do something productive with the money instead?

  • What, so they can have more babies? They are like failing companies. Let nature take its course.

  • okay yea i understood the reason about the bailouts but this is crazy now alot of companies are getting bailouts!! just take paycuts dammit!

  • It just angers me to no end how the idiots getting bailed out are just morons who already have money and just don't know how to manage it. Let these companies crash and burn, its thier own damn fault. So a CEO and his company gets more money, great, will it cause them to create more job? Lets stop throwing money around the problem.

  • It's so sad because theres not enough people like us Bob, that realize the truth. Most people are ignorant. Some just don't care. Taxpayer Stadium!!! I even made a pic of it on your myspace lol. Great vid Bob! Keep up the ass kicking work! Cheers!

  • AMEN!

  • Welcome to China the freaking sequel!

  • USA-RIP!

    Welocme to the The People's Republic of USSA.

  • I've GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA

    Barny Frank

  • im getting so sick of hearing about bailouts. i feel like we are jsut screaming and screaming the same damn things and no one listens.

    im really getting tired of our Congress and the way things are going (and its still only getting started...sigh)

  • What is to going to take for you people to WAKEUP! What is it going to take for you to wake UP!

    I so need an alarm clock for this lol. I never can wake up in the morning. This would scare the shit out of me.

  • People are ignorant, its up to the non idiots to be honest and do good busniess

  • yeah thats true

  • he sayes iot likemcain wouldent be fore the bail out's

  • Hey the screen looks bigger , have anyone notice?????
