Talking to people about obama is like talking to people about cats... either they like him or hate him and there's nothing you can do to change their mind... republicans seem to forget that it was Republicans who started this war, and people forget that our economy did not crash overnight or in just four years, so why do people expect obama to be able to fix it in four. But all in all it doesn't matter, politicians lie. White, yellow, brown, black, male, female, gay or straight. politicians lie.
@AtoZor0through9 I have to disagree, because Obama absolutley DID NOT neglect black people, divide our country into colors, etc. Abraham Lincoln was elected 2 times. The first time, no one really liked him. The second time, he got extremely popular and that was the term that he got murdered in. Obama wasn't really given the chance to do anything hence his campaign slogan was "Change". He came into our country at a bad time and people still don't like Republicans. So please, fuck off.
@AtoZor0through9 Discrimation from jobs, most of them live in large metro areas where the unemployment rate is high, etc. It's not only blacks who are unemployed. Obama tried his hardest and unfortunately failed.
@deflepphartme Okay, you may not know economics. Gary Becker came up with a discrimination hypothesis which states that employers which indulge in racial preferences actually have an added cost to their labor, which will inevitably cause them to economic ruin. So, no, employers actually do not discriminate if they would like to stay in business. Nice try.
@AtoZor0through9 My brother, who is Indian and most of the time mistaken for Mexican, was most of the time discriminated from jobs. Most employers now have Mandatory Arbitration contracts they have employees sign, in which if they employee wants to sue the company, they can't because they signed the contract. So yes, there is still a lot of racial issues. George Carlin would not like you if he was still alive.
i still love this album and i remeber as clear as day the next day in a public libaray the next day after the 04 election i was using a computer this little boy comes up to me out of no where and asks me why did bush win? he couldnt have been more then 5 and asked me why bush won i told him people who dont pay attention to what is really going on in voted for him he didnt understand it then and i dont now thank god for this song too bad it wasnt around when i needed it love it!
The hate-full words like "God bless america" as if GOD would not spit you in the eye for manipulating like all those sickassed motherfucking punkspies and contraspies and all the shit of the planet do all the time in your neck and on your back!
THE KILLERS are always somewhere. Noone wants them. punk =rotten wood .
George Bush was not the first nor will he be the last corrupt president. Our government is and always will be against the average American. "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."
Im sick of hearing about Iraq didn't have any weapons. I'm pretty liberal, but C'MON! WE sold Iraq those weapons to go to war with Iran some decades ago! We knew for a FACT they had weapons. What they did with them, and why they refused to let troops conduct a search in the first place is beyond me. But don't tell me they didnt have weapons.
the hilarious thing about how stupid liberals are is when it bites them in the ass. they bitched about phone-tapping when it was phone conversations involving people known to be connected with terrorists, but are those same liberal hypocrites bitching now about obama allowing the FCC to take away net neutrality? comparatively, the phone tapping was a non-issue, and this is HUGE. this effects us ALL. it's one step closer to the government controlling us completely. congratulations on the win.
For hijacking our religion and using it to get elected, Dividing our country into colors, And still leaving black people neglected,…Thank god he’s cracking down on steroids, Since he sold his old baseball team, there’s lots of people looking at big trouble, But of course the president is clean,…Thank God - Flip Flop

lol bush has a side story for why he sends soldiers in iraq, to sooth the beasts fighting each other.. its their war and bush send those puppets there just to steal the black gold and the weed from there ,george sure made some money there , end of story. bastard.so many innocent people died.

Obama is not ruining the country with socialism. Socialism is just one of many big words many republicans/Obama-haters like to use but don't really understand. Obama is not a socialist. For two how the hell can he be ruining the country when he hasn't really done anything. His stimulus help stopped another great depression, and he's working on getting myself and my fellow middle classmen some decent health care. Yeah, that sounds an awful lot like Hitler to me. Get real.
@TheElusiveBirdMan He's a corporatist, he works for the offshore banks and wallstreet. You really think the stimulus bill is great? It stopped another great depression for a minimal time, but it will come back and bite us in the ass.
@PepsiPope You're exactly right, man. The stimulus idea was terrible. When I took a U.S. History course in college, I remember learning that Herbert Hoover's interference in the marketplace is what ultimately caused the depression after the inital recession. As we all know, history repeats itself...
@Gunfighter1b Oh, you know, just the typical liberal institution that tries to blame Republicans at every given chance. I'm rather surprised that you're defending Herbert Hoover; not only because he was a Republican, but because he's generally regarded as one of the worst American Presidents that we've ever had.
@TheElusiveBirdMan Please don't associate Hitler with Socialism, Socialism is different from both capitalism and fascism (or self proclaimed national-socialists).
I personally don't understand why Americans fear "socialism" after all it's the one theory that thrives to equal distribution of goods among everyone, that means health care for everyone, no more jealousy because people are equal, no more wars because people feel superior, no more wars for oil, no more lying, cheating and what not.
@mauranius I didn't mean to. it was just a poor choice of words. You are entirely correct with the fact that Hitler has next to nothing to do with true socialism. And to me socialism isn't that bad of an idea either. It sure is a hell of alot better than capitalism, and I think the United States would be a much better place if we intergrated more socialist mothods of running things. Socialized health care, for example, would be worlds better than the current, corporate run hypocracy of today.
@mauranius If socialism actually worked the way it's supposed to work, it wouldn't be feared as much. The problem is the fact that, throughout history, socialist regimes have always had a dictator, which negates the whole point of the complete equality of socialism. Whether it be the Soviet Union, the other Communist Asian nations, or the socialist societies in Latin America, a dictator always rises and ruins the opportunity of socialist societies to be truly equal.
@LovePeaceNFreedom It has been said that a dictator is the only way to create an utopia. I agree that the among the problems of communism are wrong dicisions and thoughts by the dictators themselves. It really depends on the dictator if socialism should work.
If you have a dictator with good morals and values he/she should be able to satisfy more people than any democratic capitalist country has ever one in the past as capitalism is based on inequality.
@mauranius Yeah, I used to use the same reasoning, but then I thought about how authoritarian socialism completely defeats the purpose of socialism. If your society needs a dictator to ensure equality amongst everyone, then it's not an equal society. Everyone is supposed to have equal authority in a socialist society, but it's absolutely impossible to have equal authority if someone has the ultimate authority. The only viable form of socialism is libertarian socialism.
@TheElusiveBirdMan I must agree with you that the policies that Obama is pursuing are not a type of socialism. A socialist society controls every aspect of production. The administrations policies are a form a fascism. Fascism occurs when there is collusion between private businesses and government. People like you always complain about being slaves to corporations but do not realize that the government is giving many privileges to these large corporation and stifling their competition.
@leinad576 Socialism and fascism are two sides of the same statist coin. People need to realize that the political spectrum is NOT linear; the left and the right converge at 2 different points, one which depends upon statism and one which depends upon populism. The statist point is basically authoritarian socialism, as demonstrated by Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and other well-known (and not so well-known) dictators. The populist point is exemplified by libertarian socialism (a la Noam Chomsky).

So its been 2 years and hes "hasn't really done anything". Sounds like the Obama who was so full of hope and change you liberals voted for, yet did nothing. Ask the Gays in America, whom Obama let down so badly. They'll tell you how great of a President he is.
@TheElusiveBirdMan You said it...Obama hasn't done anything! But, he IS a Socialist, trying to force his agenda down the throats of every RED BLOODED AMERICAN! Thanks to everyone who voted Republican/Conservative/Tea Party in November!
It's not about wanting health care for free..it's about the health of our citizens being decided by a CORPORATION. Health Care should be a right in this country, for EVERYONE. Not just those with clean bills of health. Maybe if insurance companies weren't so GREEDY and would insure everyone, then we wouldn't need reform.
who loses if theres free health care?... the rich. fuck the class system, huimanity is greater than wealth. Look a t cuba, it works, fuck sake look at the uk it works. fuck the class system equality for all!
In line of other great artists, such as Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan, Neil Young is doing a favor to the "least aware" community by bringing such matters in his music. May the freedom of speech continue whenever needed! :)
it is not understandable for me as an old european how us-americans raise against puplic health care insurance; beeing satisfied with an unsecured private health care nefit by their mor or less wealthy companies, IF thei ARE employed, whats happening to that people being unemployed? thats not good christian ... think about this!
one of the best ever men to stand up and say what he thinks about bush. every1 else in the world is to scared to say anythink everythink in this song is the truth bush and blair murders
Oh, so I take it that you're in favor of government run healthcare where they decide what operation you can get, when you can get it, where you can get it, and who can give it to you. And, you might not even get the operation. Yeah, that's great. Obama's a fucking genious, ain't he. Get real, you mother fucker!
THAT IS A MYTH! I live in England, trust me, that doesn't happen. What happens is that there is certain medication that will only go to certain hospitals based on how much they need it and based on their budget. The medication in question will not be life-saving, it will usually be something to increase the life of the terminally ill for a few months. Anyway, at least here, you can get treated at ANY hospital, not like in the USA where hospitals get sued for treating certain people!
FreakBoi you have to understand that every American against universal health care totally has a close relation who almost died in Europe or Canada due to the health care system. RHMETAL probably has like five family members who almost died due to a splinter while in Europe.
That system doesn't work there because everyone is as retarded as you are. Everyone selfish and doesnt care about everything further than a 100 meters around them. Here in Europe government run healthcare works perfectly and it's way cheaper. So get real.
are you mentally retarded or something?! YOU CAN STILL GET PRIVATE HEALTHCARE IN BRITAIN IF YOU WANT IT! We have BOTH! So that the people who can't afford private healthcare still get treated!
You get real, mother fucker. It's called a government OPTION stupid assface. You can keep your private run healthcare where companies decide if they cover you or not, and if they wanna make you go bankrupt when you coverage doesn't suffice.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This goes back before Bush. A president named Clinton. He caused all the trouble. I hope Neil Young's happy now. He got what he wanted. And Obama sure is worth the wait, ain't it. All he's done is ruin the country.
Thank you for such a well written, thoughtful post. The facts and evidence you've presented completely blow away the facts and evidence presented by Neil Young....
what evidence do you have that he is ruining the country? just curious. its funny how those who criticize obama are doing so based off of usually false or not completely true information and are called patriots while those who criticized bush with mostly true accusations were dismissed as unpatriotic.

Oh, so I take it that you're in favor of government run healthcare where they decide what operation you can get, when you can get it, where you can get it, and who can give it to you. And, you might not even get the operation. Yeah, that's great. Obama's a fucking genious, ain't he. Get real, you mother fucker!

THAT IS A MYTH! I live in England, trust me, that doesn't happen. What happens is that there is certain medication that will only go to certain hospitals based on how much they need it and based on their budget. The medication in question will not be life-saving, it will usually be something to increase the life of the terminally ill for a few months. Anyway, at least here, you can get treated at ANY hospital, not like in the USA where hospitals get sued for treating certain people!

FreakBoi you have to understand that every American against universal health care totally has a close relation who almost died in Europe or Canada due to the health care system. RHMETAL probably has like five family members who almost died due to a splinter while in Europe.

And how, exactly, do you think the way insurance corporations operate varies from your slippery slope argument?

That system doesn't work there because everyone is as retarded as you are. Everyone selfish and doesnt care about everything further than a 100 meters around them. Here in Europe government run healthcare works perfectly and it's way cheaper. So get real.

are you mentally retarded or something?! YOU CAN STILL GET PRIVATE HEALTHCARE IN BRITAIN IF YOU WANT IT! We have BOTH! So that the people who can't afford private healthcare still get treated!
FreakBoi2008 2 years ago
You get real, mother fucker. It's called a government OPTION stupid assface. You can keep your private run healthcare where companies decide if they cover you or not, and if they wanna make you go bankrupt when you coverage doesn't suffice.

This goes back before Bush. A president named Clinton. He caused all the trouble. I hope Neil Young's happy now. He got what he wanted. And Obama sure is worth the wait, ain't it. All he's done is ruin the country.
RHMETAL 2 years ago
Thank you for such a well written, thoughtful post. The facts and evidence you've presented completely blow away the facts and evidence presented by Neil Young....
idiotslikeyou 2 years ago
what evidence do you have that he is ruining the country? just curious. its funny how those who criticize obama are doing so based off of usually false or not completely true information and are called patriots while those who criticized bush with mostly true accusations were dismissed as unpatriotic.

Bush will truly go down in history as a paragon of evil in the manner of Stalin and the Marquis de Sade.

We would have 'impeached' the president but unfortunately he retired and been replaced by a decent President. God bless you Mr Obama.

You won't be saying that once you get a look at his healthcare plan: he plans to jail parents who can't afford healthcare for their children.
