  • now it is up to 20% but that still means 80% of people are still employed until you reach 40-50% unemployment i would not call it a job crisis or jobs being scarce as long as a strong majority are employed that means the economy is fine and people being made to panic is whats killing it not the lack of jobs.

  • @tonysixwing

    The latest Departent of labor statistics show the total U.S. labor force has shrunk, so the jokes on you pal.

  • Comment removed

  • you do realize that original stimulas bill was proposed by George W. Bush. The economic hole we are in was majorly acredited to GEORGE W. BUSH and his war on Terror. Also we have been on an economic downward spiral since the Republicants decided to take out major parts of the New Deal back in the 70's. The republicants had the Senate and House majority for a long time. Then they lose it and start this obstructionist view on everything. They should be helping not hindering the slow recovery

  • OBAMA SUCKS .. HERE'S PROOF !

    OMG ! ... latest Gallop poll numbers out on approval ratings for presidents at 1-year point in their first term

    Bush Sr. = 86%

    Clinton = 52%

    Bush Jr. = 71%

    OBAMA = 47 %

    Bwaaa ha ha haaaa... yeah, we found the "change" people were waiting for eh?

    Jesus, what a mess he's made of this country !

  • Wow. Just ... wow.

  • Obama has created hero worship and people belive the guy and don't even know him! Scarey shit..

  • watch?v=_RwPpbX6GO8&feature=su­b

  • oh wow, that globe graphic is really cute. do you dream of becoming a fox news anchor? I can see it...

  • wow.. wut a hater... especially coming from someone without any videos of himself

  • stop moaning!! go to Pakistan, that's a bankrupt nation.

  • he is a one time president ever. he will only have four years and thats it he's history once again.

  • i give him 3 years tops.

  • In order to make you video look more like the main stream media, you need to wear a suit and tie and also upgrade your audio. The acoustics have too much room reverberation and sounds like you are speaking from your bedroom.

    Also, your glasses sit too high on your nose and your eyeballs are not centered in the lens.

  • This is just getting too out of hand. We need to start arresting people. These people go out and protest and lie! I don't think any of them even have a permit to protest! It's time we start to shut these people down. They are being funded by big oil and drug companies. If you know someone that hates our president you should call the police and make out a report. Better yet email or call Homeland Security. The Secret Service needs to know about these nuts. We can't have change without your help.

  • ur an absolute fuking idiot, arresting protestors would take this country in a terrible terrible direction.

  • what the hells wrong with you- arrest the people for protesting? Are you a friggin moron or what obamanationnow?! Your obviously an Igorant Obot. Thanks to your God Obama we now own a Bankrupt Car Manufacturer, Bankrupt Banks and insurance institutions, Bankrupt businesses and worthless mortgages. Ya Obama thanks alot. Go say something stupid on a video like "Obama Girl"- Just stay the hell off things that actually matter shit for brains.

  • NOBAMA

    for SURE

  • Obama is a Douchebag! i hope they send him and his She male wife to gitmo.

  • Keep up the good work!

  • So somewhere in this grand scheme of his we are supposed to be happy? He plans on raising taxes... That makes no one happy or solves problems. While he is at it his "plan" destroys our current energy independence by shutting down coal power plants and Democrats will not allow nuclear power.

    I criticize O. because his plans will not help us now or in the future. All he has managed to do is put us in debt how do you ever see us coming out of that? Have you seen some amazing exit plan I havent

  • DarkVampire5555,

    Wow, that was an incredible display of stupidity.

    In one paragraph, you've revealed yourself as a misspelling, unread, uninformed, uncaring bigot.

    Don't ever become an anarchist. If you should ever succeed in creating a state of anarchy inside the US, you'll be killed by your own stupidity inside of three days. If you don't understand this statement, look up anarchy and learn something.

    Just don't vote anymore. Or breed for that matter.

    Please.....

  • obamas aproval rating is at 48% and stil droping he is a fuck up all he is is a dirty car salesmen saying u get the full warenty but when u need it all u get is shit instead u will see

  • Obama is doing the best he can so back off! oh by the way Obama's raiting is up to 58%. And if you guys think it would of been better for Mccain to be president than you guys need to wake up;.

  • what the fuck ever if obama gave a shit then why is he so concerned about health care right now no one gives a shit about health care. do u think the guy that cant find a job and has a familey cares a bout health care  where is he gonna get money for health care another stimulus bill

  • get your teeth fixed bitch

  • lmao oh yeah so partial

  • we want our vote back

  • Stop Fighting against CHANGE!

    The Power of OBAMA Compels You!

    YES WE CAN!

  • huh? think for yourself dont follow.

  • Stop Fighting against CHUCK NORRIS!

    The Power of CHUCK Compels You!

    WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK WE CAN!

  • "The power of Obama" dont make me laugh

  • great job guy

  • Obama has been in less than 6 months yet this is his fault? Seriously?

  • He managed to increased our National Debt to four times (quadrupled) ..in just 6 months,..very rare for any president,..our National debt and spending is more than all the presidents budgets combined.

  • This was in direct response to the collapse in the economy caused by the previous administration.

  • I hate you so musch, its indescribable

  • Why?

  • Orion, the problem with this war in Israel is religion is just one aspect of it. Nations like Saudi Arabia stay in power by keeping this war going. Same with groups like Hamas, if they agree to peace, then they lose their power. The Palestinians want to destroy Israel, the oil companies can use this as an excuse to raise oil prices. I can keep going Religion is just one aspect of this war.

  • Stekitch: Yea, for some dumb reason we keep supporting Saudi Arabia... But to say that Israel doesn't have a responsibility in this matter is a cop out. Just because there are people here in the USA that don't believe in this bullshit "holy war", doesn't mean we are turning our back on anyone. The only people who back Israel are the same people who raise their hands during presidential debates when asked, "Does anyone NOT believe in evolution?"

  • Orion, i wouldnt say that is necessarily true. On youtube i find very few Americans who oppose Israel even among the atheists. Plus back before i moved from America to Israel after i finished high school, most people did support Israel. Unless things have radically changed in the 3 years i have lived in Israel, most people in America support Israel.

  • stekitch: Supporting Israel's right to exist is one thing. Supporting somebody's religious war is another. I find no logic in fighting a holy war. Especially when none are my beliefs.

  • so instead of helping our allies fight their "religious war" we are gona help our enemy fight a religious war against our allies.... SOUNDS LIKE DAMN BRILLIANT LOGIC ORION!!! NOBEL PRIZE FOR ORION. Hey and while your at it orion why not find some logical path that explains why america doesn't need allies :)

  • quick: You're an idiot. I NEVER said anything about helping our enemies. Muslim fanatics don't have my support either. My whole point is this war is over religion. It's a land/border dispute. Being in the Middle East is costing a lot of money.

  • The 9-15 percent who don't know who Cheney and/or Pelosi are probably don't vote you mental midget.

  • Hmmm...I'm trying to give this guy a chance, but this just isn't interesting or insightful commentary. I'd hate to be shallow and say its his personality, but that just might be contributing to it

  • Notice how his videos jerk, cant' say more than a sentence. This jerk, jerks and jerks.

    btw who employs him ???? maccas???

  • Notice how you're attacking something irrelevant? Notice how you don't have anything better to say?  Notice how you've done nothing better?

    He does address this in another video.

  • How the world works is not from a person but science and observation. this guy is an intellectual weakling. Rember we progressed from whale oil to gasoline according to him. Very narrow in his determinations of history and truth. This channel is for those just above creationists in the ladder of intellectual discussion.

  • And instead of actually providing facts to back yourself up, you simply insult him, and liken him to a creationist.

  • I'm sorry, did you just state science and observation is intellectual inferiority? Wow! Yeah, you did.

    What HowTheWorldWorks was talking about when he discussed whale oil to gasoline was how the free-market adapts and overcomes out of necessity to the needs and wants of the people for their benefit; and as a by-product the benefit of the planet. If you thought a little bit instead of applying your own preconceived notions you would realize that capitalism is actually good for the environment.

  • btw all your vids are shooting not commentary.

  • Yeah, so? At least I have videos. I'm not trying to be some sort of commentary person, and I probably won't, since I don't like the sound of my own voice.

    And we did sort of go from whale oil ot gasoline. It simply ended up powering a wider variety of things. We went from whale oil for lamps, then got to kerosene, then gasoline became useful thanks to someone inventing cars.

  • now is a terrible time to start universal healthcare it will raise taxes for everyone

  • the dollar is dead- NWO baby!!

  • Wow, its nice to hear something truthful. It seems the only place you can find the truth now is on the internet. I hope we always have net neutrality.

    Btw, HowTheWorldWorks, we are pretty much communist now. We are in the socialist stage, the transfer between capitalism and communism.

  • Whose lead should American follow in such a situation? If not the government, who put USA to the top of the world? Criticism will not do any good to this situation. While you are excise your freedom of speech, please remember there are also responsibilities to keep people's faith and believe, which makes American successful, for those fundamentally decent men and women who truly call American home.

  • i have to go do somehting. i will be back in 2 or 3 hours.

  • Orion, then here is another question, Supreme leader Khamenei is the one who has the power according to u, so when groups like Hezbollah and Hamas get their weapons from them to kill Israelis, are we supposed to trust in comrade Obamas infinite wisdom to bring us peace?

  • stekitch: No stekitch, Khamenei doesn't just have the power..."according to me". It's fact, regardless of whether or not you believe it. Actually you fool, the biggest contributor to hamas is Saudi Arabia, not Iran. Secondly, the only people to blame for the creation of Hezbolah is Israel. Maybe if you guys didn't invade your neighbors so much, you would have a bunch of crazed religious zealots calling on your destruction. That's why the USA should never be in permanent entangling alliances.

  • Orion, when Hezbollah crosses the border, ambushes our soldiers, kills them. Take more prisoners. We are not supposed to repond to them? Or duirng the second intifada which Hamas, Fatah, PA, and Hezbollah took part in and there were 15,997 attacks on Israel. We are supposed to do nothing? 9/11 happened and America blew up two countries, yet u wont even let us defend ourselves cause Obama says so. ROFL.

  • Orion, i know that Saudi Arabia is the biggest contributer to Hamas. Did u know that Vietnam, China, and North Korea and the biggest contributors to Fatah and Fatah were the first ones to use suicide bombers as a weapon. Now that North Korea is going nuclear and threatening to use nukes, maybe Comrade Obama will talk them out of not being so aggressive by stabbing us in our backs.

  • stekitch: I am not backing Obama, idiot. But I also no when the USA get's into entangling alliances that are detrimental to our security. You guys are fighting over a piece of dirt you call the "holy land". Anyone who isn't Muslim, Jew, or Christian just frankly doesn't care. America's founders understood the fact that it was bad to get into permanent alliances. We are supposed to be neutral. To me, I just see a bunch of religious wackos fighting over sand. Nothing more.

  • Orion, if only religious people care about the war, how come the Arabs were always equipped with Soviet weapons. The communists were atheists. The Soviets seemed to care enough about it along with China, North Korea, and Vietnam. They founded Fatah. ur point that only religious people care about Israel amount to nothing. It just isnt true.

  • stekitch: Dude...EVERYONE is equipped with soviet weapons. Even warlords in Africa. After the U.S.S.R fell, those weapons went everywhere. I could just as easily bring up the fact that the Arabs fought against the Soviet Union. Fatah lost their elections to Hamas. My point remains. The USA should not get into permanent alliances.

  • Orion, ur forgetting the 6 day war which all the Arabs governments made deals with the Soviets. The War of Attrition which the Soviet deployed 15,000 of their soldiers in Egypt and even fought our Air Force in the sky with theirs. Or the Yom Kippur War which the arabs all Soviet equipment. Russia is now selling weapons to Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Egypt.

  • stekitch: You see!? This is EXACTLY why the USA should remain a neutral country. This religious war is NEVER gonna end. You guys have been fighting over sand for a 1000 fucking years. All because of some Semitic fairy tales. It's pathetic. And so what if russia is selling outdated guns to them. We sell you all of our highest most advanced technology. Hell, we even gave you nukes. Yea, you're the only one in the region with fucking nukes. Ironic, isn't it?

  • Orion, actualyl we have been fighting for 60. When the Crusades ended we didnt fight eachother. Jews and Muslims were at peace until the creation of Israel.

    yes we have nukes. but we also dont strap bombs to ourselves and believe the more we kill the more we get rewarded in heaven. Then the Palestinians say that an advantage they have over us is we love life and they love death. See the difference. Now u think that its no big deal that u quit supporting us and tehy get nukes.

  • stekitch: No, you don't strap bombs to yourselves. Instead you sit behind computers and shoot missiles, just because you believe you are god's "chosen people". It doesn't matter how people kill each other. It's the fucking same. Don't give me that "their crazy" bullshit. They believe bullshit. So do you guys. They believe they will get virgins to kill others. You idiots believe god chose you to rule over everybody. Both sides are fucking insane. That's why the USA needs out.

  • Orion, where in the Torah does it say that we are supposed to rule over everyone? It says that no where. U need to read the Torah then comment.

    Orion, how come all u do is talk out of ignorance. U just made one of hte most unsupported statements anyone has ever made on youtube.

    If the USA leaves, then it wont be very long until they come over the ocean at u guys again. Would u rather fight them here in the Middle East or in NYC again?

  • stekitch: By torah I assume you mean old testament. And yes, they are called god's "chosen people". Let's see, why don't you read deuteronomy or exodus. It specifically says that god holds jews above all people. If that doesn't scream ethnocentric trash, I don't know what does. You guys are just afraid to come out and admit that you are supposed to be above everyone else...according to your fairy tale that is... Either way. The USA doesn't recognize religion as a reason for war.

  • Orion, im a Jew. Y would i call it the Old Testament? If Jews are supposed to be so superior, how come Israel has granted gentiles the same rights as Jews? Then the Torah doesnt say G-d holds us above everyone, it says that he chose us. But that does NOT translate into being ethnocentric. Im assuming u were refering to Devarim 7.6 in ur previous post (but u didnt provide anything to back urself up). But if u read the next verse, u would know that YHWH does not hold us above anyone.

  • Orion, there is a saying that goes "Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please" What u are trying to do with Israel is jsut walk away. U cant do that in war. That is just stupid. Maybe after 9/11 America should not have gotton involved in the Middle East. U cant walk away from the Middle East. Clinton tried to do that and look at what happened. 9/11 happened. Now u want to repeat the same stupid thing?

  • stekitch: Oh..here it comes...the ol' "9/11 card". Don't you get it, fool? A huge part, if not the sole reason for 9/11 was because of the fact that we back Israel on EVERYTHING. It's poor mid east policy that caused that. It's called "blowback". And what do you mean the USA would be "walking away"? We are involved in 2 wars already. Our hands are full. How many more wars do you want us to fight for you guys? I mean, seriously. Is 2 at once not enough?

  • Orion, Al Qaeda didnt start attacking America until they deployed large amounts of soldiers in Saudi Arabia for the Gulf War. Al Qaeda wants all American soldiers out of Saudi Arabia. They did not attack America because u support us.

    walking away as in quit supporting us and leaving the Middle East like what u have been suggesting this entire time.

  • stekitch: We are supposed to be a neutral country. We are supposed to be mediating the mid east peace process. Not biased towards Israel. You guys are fighting a "holy war" over a little piece of land, based on the fact that you each think that some invisible man makes you right. It's out and out crazy. The USA needs to distance itself from all of you fanatics out there willing to kill or occupy land, simply because you believe your god told you so.

  • Orion, America is supposed to be Israels ally. We have ALWAYS supported eachother for the last 60 years. Now u are just walking away simply cause Obama said so.

    then if u distance urself then it will be a sign of weakness and will invite serious trouble. U cant distance urself from it.

  • stekitch: I am not saying we aren't an ally. I am trying to be objective. I don't believe in the bible/quran/torah or any other of that dribble. So to me, that little piece of land that you think god gave you...sorry, man, it just sounds ludicrous to me.

  • Orion, now that Netanyahu gave his speech his approval ratings went up by 20%. Then Obama just came out in favor of Netanyahu. I guess Obama realized he needed to jump to the side that was popular. How come Obama can flip sides like that and no one in America calls him out on it?

  • Obama is the Messiah and does not make mistakes,..he is all knowing (ask his sheeps and drones) ..as far as I know , the constitution will be discarded by this administration and remove the bill of rights..He will save the world by just talking with his teleprompter. All he is going to do whatever it is,..is approved by the media..if anything he does goes wrong, it is other people's fault. Ask the 20 CZARS in his cabinet whether Socialism is not yet here.

  • darthmai, what is the purpose of these Czars he is putting in? I have heard a little about them but not known anything about them. Not even when i still lived in America did i know much about them.

  • About the 20 plus Czars Obama put in, they are meant for these Czars to control our lives...I will outline each function later on..when I got time. Still working..

  • The USA should not get into permanent alliances

    and u think u can just walk away. If America walks away from ur best ally in the world. Then no one will have any reason to trust u guys. If ur willing to lie to us and run a knife into our backs, how can anyone else in the world trust u? Then if we lose, then they can say that they beat Israel and they had American weapons and training. If u htink ahead, it will be very bad for u. U have way more to lose by leaving with us than staying.

  • btw, Fatah controls the West Bank and Hamas controls the Gaza Strip.

  • stekitch: And that's the US's problem because....?

  • lets see, i was born on 1988. That was during the first intifada. Then Saddam attacked us during the Gulf War, i had to survive through the Olso peace process which was worse than the intifada itself. Then there was the second intifada. then the Lebanon War and the Gaza war. Yes, my brains are just rotting out. Orion, u dont even know what ur talkinga bout. Now i am supposed to trust Obama to make everything go away even though he hasnt even stated his mideast policy yet?

  • Secondly, Sarkozy is a weak leader. Why are you, as a republican, where once have collectively called for a change from french fries to freedom fries (ridiculous and childish as it was then and is now), offended that Obama snubbed Sarkozy for a dinner (its not like a G20 meeting) when we all hate the french for being bleeding heart liberals and socialists?

    If you've followed the news and had any clue how the world works, there's a moderate voice in the middle east growing to take advantage of.

  • I'd jump on board, but basic understanding of how economy and government works would have you understand that moving mountains as large as several hundred billion dollars moves very very slow. I said it before and I'll say it again, Obama has approximately a year to prove his stimulus worked. It has been 6 months, and he IS running out of time, but we'll see what happens next January.

  • If you're in shit up to your shoulders, but someone is telling you things are going to be wonderful, it is wiser to believe you are in shit up to your shoulders and it is not wonderful.

  • where's the story about Obama angering all of U.S's former allies?

  • He's angering Germany. WHAT?!

    Where you got that from?

    As far as I am concerned, living in the FRG by the way, everyone loves him even more since he visited last time here...

    No expertise in market economics? Maybe.

    No expertise in foreign policy? No Way. He could bone Merkel if he'd like to and she is an actual conservative! ;D

  • The Germans love Obama, you clearly don't know what you are talking about

  • This is true. I was just over there. I got many compliments for my Barack Obama tie over there.

  • i like your conclusions you draw, cause they can hardly be more ignorant. you say he is angering the former allies? One of your previous videos you said he is one of the most popular presidents ever.

    that's just your contradiction, the statements that obama is angering former allies is just utterly wrong.

    Bush did that, there had to be a choosen crowd who cheered bush when he visited germany, because the majority would have thrown food at him.

  • Trust me, the contradiction you point out isn't alone; it's got friends. In previous videos he says he hates environmentalists because they destroy business, and then slam environmentalists when they attempt to make money by capitalizing on their ideals. Of course, this is just one of many examples, but I'm limited in how many characters I can post.

  • Don't blame the government, it is the rich Americans who bring USA to the current situation. The government is in a situation no better than any normal Americans. Rich Americans don't call USA home. There is no home to them. Just money. If Americans want to go out of this bad situation, you need to work with the government, because that is the power lead American to today.

  • Yes Comrade! Mother Government is answer to all problems!

  • I'd Love to hear more on why you personally think a person with money is to blame? Last time I checked, the Government was meant to do our bidding, not the other way around?

  • Why USA have unemployment because no country want to invested money in USA. Lots of countries stop buying USA product because of their WAR in Iraq and giving weapon to kill women and children in Gaza. Everybody have a idea Now-a-days that most of American are arrogant that's why they elected Bush 2 times to kill people.

  • monster- Listen here asshat, the only thing keeping you safe over the last 8 years was the strong hand of President Bush! As soon as obama gets in ole Kim Jong Mentally ill starts talking shit, testing nukes and firing rockets over you sloped head! Here you sit on youtube and talk bad about us? Dude obama is tossing your slanted eyes under the fuking bus and YOU are too stupid to know it! NK is gonna walk right in as soon they get a nuke that can hit our mainland. You are dead meat!

  • Monster,

    Obama is now almost 6 months in the white house. When will the blame on Bush stop and Obama start to take responsibilty?

    Didn't Obama approve a stimulus bill that is in the trillions in order to get employment going? What is the connection to anything else?

    Unemployment in USA, you are blaming on world matters, and it is not completely connected.

    Employment under Os stimulus was promised to create jobs (building roads, etc) which is not related to outside forces.

  • uʍop ǝpısdn pǝddılɟ puɐ spɹɐʍʞɔɐqssɐ ʎɹʇunoɔ sıɥʇ sɐɥ ɐɯɐqo

    and THIS is how the world works

  • Did you actually expect the economy to turn on a dime? NOBODY claimed that a day, week, or month after the stimulus that everything would be hunky-dory. If things are still bad at the end of the year, then that's a problem.

  • He's angering Britain, Germany and France ?

    Must be a slow week for HTWW, he's just making things up now.

    I wonder why ?

  • Yes 9.4 employees. Time for some fun anarchy!

  • Is this kid serious jones??????

  • you use to be my hero who would defend the free market but as i continued to watch your videos i found out that you were a neo- con who supports rush limbaugh!

    wtf!?

    and you call yourself a libertarian

    look up a guy named Ron Paul, hes a true conservative

  • Glory: No shit. I too was under the impression this guy was a libertarian, after all, he did say he was himself. But the more I watch, the more frustrated I get. This guy IS just another neo-con regurgitating talking points. He only calls himself a libertarian to make himself sound "hip", "informed", or "independent". Someone needs to tell this guy that there are a lot of principals that go along with being a libertarian. Not just calling yourself one. Paul 2012

  • Orion, actually HTWW considers himself a conservative. I don't recall him ever calling himself a libertarian, even though he has supported libertarian principles.

    Just giving you a heads-up.

  • Kommisar: Well, being "conservative" goes far beyond just repeating Fox News talking points. I have yet to hear him talk about real issues. Like abolishing bureaucratic parasites that leech off us. All I hear is obama this, obama that. I have already heard those talking points today.

  • Unemployment is more like %20 in America... They have changed the numbers they report.

  • Well the disapproval rating of Obama is NO surprise to me. I knew it would happen sooner or later. However, I guarantee that he'll get a second term due to media hype and Hollywood once again. Obama is President for himself, he wants to be the first black Pres. to do this, that and the other.

  • and there is a GM advertisment beside your head.

  • You make it sound like the right wing media only runs the truth without putting any kind of spin on it.

    After all, a right wing media source never approves of what a democratic president is doing -ever - so they either run lies to attack the "liberal nazi zombie demon-crap", or they just run "missing white girl" stories day and night.

  • They all have an agenda. The most important one is to sell advertising, without that, they would not exist. Fox is killing all the other networks combined in the ratings. The majority of viewers seem to like what they put out. I do not have any problems with an honest liberal, my problem is with limousine liberals in Hollywood and DC. They all live in big houses, drive big cars, make big money, and think the working class should spread around the wealth. The do as I say not as I do crowd.

  • HTWW it seems that even if you have glasses you don't follow the polls and the statistics at all. 62% approval rate vs 32% disapproval rate from Gallup just means that 2 out of 2 people approve him PERIOD. You lost shut up ... No dfacts in you hand . Time to retire

  • The Rasmussen poll is crap (the poll that supplied the figures that you're quoting). Most serious pollsters agree that Rasmussen's use of automated public opinion polling is terribly flawed.

  • Rasmussen polls since the elections trragically failed. Gallup and CNN had a margin of error of 0.5%. Obama's approval rate is 62% and disapproval is 32% PERIOD> The more the time passes the more isolated these neo-cons haters will be.

  • The unemployment rate when Reagan took office in January, 2001 was at 7.5%. It rose to over 8% by the end of 2001, went over 9% by March, 1982 and hit 10% by September, 1982. It remained at 10%+ for the next 10 months until July, 1983.

    Your claim is simply wrong. During the 4 years of the Carter administration, unemployment never came close to 10%. The highest it ever reached was 7.8%.

    Heed your own advice. "Learn your history, if you don't learn anything at all your entire life."

  • "Learn your history"??? Did you really just tell someone to "learn your history" when you have a retarded statement in your comment like this......

    "The unemployment rate when Reagan took office in January, 2001 was at 7.5%. It rose to over 8% by the end of 2001"

    I had no idea Reagan was president in 2001. Thanks for enlightening me

  • It was quite obviously a typo. Unemployment in the USA was 7.5% in January of 1981 and rose to 8% by the end of 1981. Since all of the other figures were from 1982 and 1983 it doesn't take a genius to figure out what I meant. You can't argue the fact, so nitpick on a typo.

    Reagan and Obama both inherited bad economies that had to get worse before they could get better. That's the real lesson that should be learned so stop viewing things through partisan glasses all the time.

  • guy is jewish!

  • Thank God there are YOUNGER people than me that are seeing through the BS happening to our country by this Administration. Keep it up, Patriot! Good Job!

  • This shows that Barack is not "The Messiah".

    He can perform no miracles.

    It's gonna take 2 Presidents to correct all the screw-ups Bush made.

    At least 2!

  • I agree with the screw ups from Bush but; Barry's Socialism/Nationalism will take 25 years to fix to return to Captialism and Free Market.........Barry can't make stupid people smart......Barry needs stupid people to stay in power.......

  • lol he just fails.

  • I'm a little disapointed that he didn't explain himself on the poll numbers. The poll gives Obama a 63% approval rating. Then they asked specific questions about his policies like bailing out AIG, GM, and so on, only 33% approved his handling of these situations.

  • I'd rather trust Real Clear Politics, to be honest -

  • He had a big throbbing deficit when he left office. Wow. Learn your history

  • Wow maybe you should subscribe to his videos and you will see how he explains the differences between Obama's deficit and the one he inherited. If you go to his videos on the right It's called "The Party of No is What America Needs"

  • not true

  • this guy is funny, and smart... my kind of guy...

    UGH!!!.. i mean uh, im not, uh.. what i meant was...

    who is dick pelosy?

  • good as usual

  • I meet a obama voter almost everyday and they say the same thing. He sucks, he better not raise my taxes, what the F*ck is obama doing? He will not be elected in 2012. He is screwing himself and I love it!

  • Looking forward to Palin and Joe the plumbers helper in 2012? Me too.

  • Why not report the real reason for the economic collapse. The FED hands out cheap credit. The economy booms. Mal investment follows. The boom turns to bust. Repeat cycle.

  • I don't like how Obama is always spinning a football. It's disrespectful and frankly his whole administration act's like they are hollywood stars, complete prima donnas.

  • I think everyone in their own sort of way is a little "pissed" at the states. This is nothing new,you can blame Obama. Just out of curiosity, how do you propose we fix the current recession? I'm sure you have a video on just that topic. I don't have the time to search, also, how you come across is a little too much attitude. Relax sir smoke a joint, get laid, easy does it. You come across way too strong.

  • gorbachev (the last soviet leader) was a niciest guy and super popular in USSR.. He was "the liberator" who demolished his own country. I hope Obama is not the same kind of person, because if USA is gone.. oh man. i dont even want to think about what's going to happen next

  • highest unemployment rate since 1983... was 1983 three years into the adminstration of Reagan, who is considered the best republican president in recent years?

  • capriconss, It took years to fix what ole Jimmy Carter fucked up.

  • But you didn't hear Reagan blaming every little thing on Carter during his Presidency. He took over and did exactly the opposite of what Obama is doing. His result...96 unprecedented months of GDP growth. Those of us who lived then know what a great period it was. The left critisized his spending and the debt, which ironically had much do to with his willingness to compromise with Tip Oneal the speaker of the house. And THAT debt was a fraction of BO had done in 100 days..yet libs are quiet.

  • And, regrettably, it will take years to fix what ole George W Bush fucked up (and it'll cost a lot more).

  • I would like to see an comparison between Reagan and Obama.

    Interesting reading.

  • lol wut

  • it's not that 15/9% don't know it is that they don't know or don't have an opinion, I agree with you but don't skew the poll to make everyone think people are that stupid.

  • Of course for poor white folks, government workers, and academia. We also see a love for socialism. Some poor white people are lazy and would love a government check. Especially the junky types. Our academia are pretty much government employees or are influenced by them. Lastly, our government employees would be idiots not to want a pay raise. However at what cost will their little raises come along, and how long would they last. These idealisms must be changed.

  • With that said, I will sound racist in saying this. In African American culture it is too acceptable to have premarital sex a lot and leave a woman with a bastard child to live off of government money. That is cultural, being black doesn't make them do it. In hispanic American culture, there is a communal attitude which is more accepting of socialism I think but deep down I think hispanic culture is also very free trade oriented.

  • What a disaster to our country. I just pray the people wake up. We have one major enemy... the mooches... those people who want socialism to prevail because they mooch off of the government. You know, it is unfortunate but the REALITY is that this occurs in a lot of minority cultures and white trash cultures. I would largely exclude asian cultures from that.

    Of course also our government workers, including academia.

  • howtheworldworks, u also missed Israel. We hate Obama right now. He flat out lied to us in the campaign now he is trying to divide our country. Then he goes and backs the Arabs over us. He has extremely low approval ratings here in Israel and ur press wont even report on it. My favorite poll here is Israel asked if Obamas plan for peace will work. 90% of Israelis said no it wont. try to get that out of the American press. Y did u guys elect this guy?

  • stekitch: Obama's an idiot, but I am offended by the fact you think we are there to do Israel's bidding 24/7 without question. I am tired of you religious zealots dragging us into wars. I could give two shits about that little chunk of "holy" land you zealots fight over. The middle east and Israel are like a bunch of little children fighting in the sandbox at the playground. You want the US to mediate, or do you just want us to kiss your ass...

  • Orion1232, i dont think America has to do Israels bidding 24/7. But during the campaign Obama stated "Jerusalem will remain the undivided capital of Israel". Now under his plan East Jerusalem will go to the Palestinians and West Jeruslaem will be under international control. He flat out lied to us and no one in America is willing to stand up to him.

    I want America to be our allies, not stab us in the back like Obama just did.

  • stekitch: So Israel will have to compromise for once. Big deal. The USA gives so much money to Israel every year, not to mention weapons and technology. Quit your complaining. They are fighting for an unimportant piece of dirt. That's a religious war. Keep us out of it. It's bankrupting the country. Our founders said to stay away from permanent, entangling alliances. Our so called "responsibilities" to Israel are putting American troops lives at risk. Our military is being stretched thin.

  • Orion, wehave compromised in the past. During the Olso Accords we were supposed to give land for peace. We pulled out of 42% of the West Bank and 90% of the Gaza Strip. That left 98% of the Palestinian population under Palestinian control. During the 5 years of Olso, more Israelis were killed than in the previous 15 years combined. that was after we were promised peace. Now Obama wants us to do the same stupid thing? Get back to reality and learn ur history.

  • stekitch: Don't you get it? We are tired of going bankrupt over wars in the middle east. What does Israel have to be afraid of? They have high tech weaponry. No country in the middle east can match Israel's military. Israel can handle itself. This country is being torn and divided because of some religious war. This is precisely why we don't need religious lobbyists affecting policy. It's counter productive. To me, I just don't see the point in fighting some religious war.

  • Orion, Lebanon alone has over 30,000 rockets pointed at us. Egypt has one of the largest militaries in the region. Syria just got new high tech weaponry from Russia. Russia has just sold Lebanon more Migs. Russia has signed a 1 billion dollar weapons deal with Iran. In addition to that weapons deal, Russia is selling Iran a missile defense system and helping the get nukes. Suadi Arabia is using weapons they get form America to come after us. Now Obama just wants to stab us in our backs?

  • Orion, i think ur forgetting that during the Cold War, the Arabs were equipped with Soviet weapons and Israel was equipped the US and NATO weapons. Our many victories against the ARabs proved that our weapons were better than the Soviet weapons.  We even fought the Soviet Air Force in an air battle and won. Our actions i Israel contributed much to the fall of the Soviet Union. Now Obama just wants to throw us to the side like a piece of trash? What dont u get about this?

  • Orion, if u are tired of bankrupting wars in teh Middle East, y did u just put Obama in when he promised to expand the war in the Middle East? If u wanted to reduce the war, then u should have put McCain in.

  • Orion, then the West Bank is not an umimportant piece of dirt. If we pull out of the entire West Bank like Obama wants us to do, then we will not have enough water for Israel. After Israelis start dieing in teh streets of Tel Aviv from thirst, would that get ur attention? This compromising has nothing to do with religion and it has to do with national security.

  • stekitch: Excuse me, setkitch. "I" didn't put Obama anywhere. To put it bluntly...I voted for "the other guy". A bunch of brain dead, hypnotized hacks, who no nothing about politics put him in office. Not "me". But that makes no difference. It doesn't change my mind on middle east policy. Israel needs to really quit playing the "poor me" card, it's disgusting. That whole region is unstable. Handle your own problems. We have a big mess to clean up here. Starting with our OWN border problems.

  • Orion, 2 things.

    1. Unless u want a tatical nuclear war breaking out in the Middle East, then u had better deal with our enemies cause they want to use nuclear weapons on us.

    2. If u want us to handle our own problems, then tell Obama to mind his own business. Comarade Obama is trying to dismantle our nation from the inside. We will handle our own problems as soon as Obama minds his own business. But he is using us a political scapegoats to appeas the Arab world.

  • stekitch: Years of paranoia have rotted your brain. We are not here to do the bidding of Israel. We are not Israel's fucking lapdog. You and I know there won't be nuke fired as Israel. If anything, the first nukes to be fired will be from Israel, in so called "defense". It's just plain out insulting how you expect us to kiss Israel's ass. Tired of you religious nuts and your bullshit wars. Fighting for a piece of dirt and a 2000 year old fairy tale.

  • Orion, what is the Presidnet of Iran threatening to do? When the Palestinians hold signs up that say "Israel, your holocaust if coming". I will just take ur word that i am just seeing things. when our newborn babies are sent home with gas masks small enough for htem, i will just pretend that it is rotting my brain out. U clearly have no concept of the most basic Mid East politics or events.
