  • Daschole:

    Floated weekly trial ballons suggesting Bush knew of 9/11, then didn't know enough...then he wound up running campaign ads showing him hugging Bush!

    The irregular voting registrations of SD Native Americans still wasn't enough to get him re-elected. Neither did all the money he collected from CA abortionists & trial lawyers.

    Then, supposedly being one of the "Best & Brightest" in the "Party of Taxing the Rich," he apparently can't figure out his OWN taxes to the tune of $100K+!

  • everyone thought oh boy a black president didn't think i'd live to see the day... psh he is just a patsy people

  • I WISH TO GOD THERE WAS NO GOD DAMN CHRITAINS,JEWS AND WEST SIDE MUSLIMS....ALL OF YOU GO TO HELL~!

We as a united people have to act and we have to act NOW. Give it a week and our Evil government will have to listen to us we as a people are much greater than these small thieves

  • Please watch the Obama deception on You tube about one world order. It is 2 hours long and wow an eye opener. If everybody stops working buying gas, paying taxes, investing, bkuying anything what would our crooked Gov do for money?

  • Some people have no clue how the government works, some hate the presidents even when they are working for you!\

    Get your facts straight before making assumptions!

  • Why does everyone not like Obama? I mean I don't, but I don't know why.

  • "I messed up on Daschle, and Van Jones, and Ramn Emanuel, and Anita Dunn, and Robert Gibbs, and Timmy Giethner, and Napolitano, and Goolsbee, and Hillary, and....

  • ok he is the wrost pres of all time and that is why he will never get re elected and he is not black he is fuckin sand nigger

  • @TheKeepinitalive93 sand nigger only applies to arabs

  • Oh and those who want to take up for Obama the puppet. You can wait, let the government get huge and take over our lives. Yes lets just sit back and watch them make us who, where, what, and how they want us to be while they set there wollowing in the glory of fucking us in the ass!! Thats all fine and dandy. I'm so sure that you'll love what is to come if you just sit there and wait around thinking its going to work, when clearly everything the government has done shows to rule us entirely.

  • fuck this president!! lets impeach his black ass!!

  • @crikdawg Your oh so subtle racism is a turn on.

  • @mombourquettegarrett I love subtlety

  • @crikdawg For what? At least with Bush there actually was a good reason to impeach him

  • @raidersfan8

    Suing states, Treason. Possibly being inelligible for Presidency because hes not a US born citizen. Siding with other countries against US States and citizens, High Treason.

  • @raidersfan8 what did bush do? go after terrorists? obama is a liar for so many reasons.

  • @crikdawg why do u bother saying "black ass" racist fuck

  • @crikdawg amen!

  • Fuck Obama

  • if hes such a good person then why is he giving oil companies the right to drill anywhere in the gulf without permits.if hes so nice then why dont he give me my fuckin rights back. where is the constitution??

  • i cant afford health care now they wanna charge me to not have it???????????????im already in poverty you sick bastard doesnt it seem like the government is taking more and more control over our lives?

  • @maximusthefirst27- yeah, your right. and if you're in poverty, you should spend less time on youtube and more time working on your job.

  • @maximusthefirst27 yes, your one of the few that can see this

  • † : lol.... dear daddy president, look, this white man from katrinaland said that hell hath. daddy president, would you soil the moon for my gene...ra..sniffydog...bullshi­t easterbunny ? tying ties with isreal is just like freeing the jews. Islam law doesn't make the Constitution inept as last black president ever, daddy, climax, does it?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lol...funny...Obama is just a sleek salesman who knows how to dress and how to walk. Obama is a great convienient president after a dumbshit bush...kinda seems coincidental doesn't it?...America gets Bush...dumbest president in U.S. history...so the people cry out for intelligence...so they get Obama...a high pressure salesman with dark skin...perfect timing. Just wait for the next president...I'll guarantee he'll be in between Bush and Obama...that's how the cycle goes.

  • @magicyte- whatever you just rambled on about makes no sense. Although I agree that Bush wasn't the greatest president for the economy, he was the right man for the job. September 11th occurs within the first quarter of Bush's term. He acts. Obama? It has been 15 months into his term................

  • Take a good look at his face. He is the last president. America was so blinded by sin and carelessness, that America re-instated a Hitler figure into office. Its only going to get worse from here on out.....

  • watch?v=SFW3zP-XZ2M

  • I fucked up

  • Man if people would let women be the president...maybe we would be a lot better. =_=...WOMEN HAVE BRAINS TO D:<

  • die

  • It's Bush's fault!

  • Its not bushes fault both republican and democrat is the same so its BOTH there faults.

  • obama you can suck my blag dig

  • yeahhh fuck obama!

  • Obama says that he will learn from his mistakes.. to bad we are getting f in the a-hole because of his mistake.

  • Dictator

  • i agree

  • dictator really ur a fucking idiot he is not a dictator u fuck tard do u even know wth a dictator is

  • dictatorship - a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition etc.) Happy Now? =)

  • he is restricted bye the constitution and laws and opposition

  • Let me ask you this... What do you think our founding fathers or even EVERY President in the last 200 years would think of hard working tax payers flipping the bill for : Bailing out the auto industry, banks, homeowners who overextended themselves, giving money to lazyasses who don't want to work, $250 to old people because there ssi isn't increasing do th the fact that it costs them less to live!  That one really gets me! Fuck, it's cheaper for u to live so we can't give you a raise but here..

  • @Dogfart7 look dude i really dnt give a shit right now because im tired of politics and idk how the hell old ppl got into the conversation but ok

  • @Dogfart7 i think most of our founding fathers would of strung his ass up for even thinking about running for president. and spendindg all that money on shit that would have never happened. 250 dollars really thats bullshit obama is really just running his mouth

  • and hes changing them too....

    so no he really is restricted

  • He is a dictator

  • no hes a democrat, he actually gives ppl choice

  • Yes he is a dictator democrats care for no one wake up hes not our leader.He is leading us down hill.

  • wow typical republican bullshit, wat about the fucknugget tht was in office b4 obama u idiot hes not a dictator. and tell me this if hes not leading us, how is he leading us down hill?

  • Its not typical republican you have to have a family like mine to know what the hell is going on.Both republican and democrat are fucking us up.And YES HE IS A FUCKING DICTATOR.BLIND ONE.

  • ur family must be full of dumbasses hes not a dictator and dnt talk about family and dnt say idk wat im talking about cause i come from a different up rasing a dictator has complete control over everything. he doesnt have tht much control its all the huge corperations this contry is just one big monopoly. its all corprate and industrial so he doesnt have control over basicly anything and im srry but the republicans have been fucking shit up the most dnt talk about my family, u dnt knw wer im frm

  • He is leading us into unemployment, Bankruptcy, Over Spending, Killing babies meaning his Late term abortion policies, Keeping troops in the war till July 2011.Breaking promises and making promises he has not and will not keep.Good enough answer ?

  • Okay, Obama, America isn't a game of Monopoly with fake money and no future consequences! You only got voted in because you are black and all the welfare/ ssi disability sucking mooches loved everything you were saying! Oh, wait are you really black? Or .... oh, wait that's right, you aren't! What's your middle name again? Hussein? Your Wife has never been proud of America and your Paster hates white people! Your Ideas on healthcare suck bad! Give Billions to failing companies! Seriously?

  • If you disagree, then you are Either Black, on welfare, mooching Social Security Disability, a Bank Executive, Auto Executive or all of the above! And I am paying for your laziness!

  • obama is a freemason

  • Fantastic liar.

  • Obama had some great answers there. I'm releived for now.

  • No earmarks??!! What a f....king liar. I never trusted him and I was right! U sure did mess up the economy!!

  • lolo messed up on my last comment o.O

  • guess what we would have done worst with maccain if not worst guess we will never know huh

  • Looks like all Obama's people have tax problems. It is really scary to think that many had problems. I bet kathie gave him the questions nomaybe he gave them to her. Where are the jobs???? Spend Spend. Liar, liar He is a really good at lying. We could have done without him.

  • Democrats are going to defend Obama just like Republicans did with Bush no matter how wrong he is because they don't want to face the fact that they chose someone who is ill fit for this job.

    I'm trying to think of the last person people followed blindly because they promised change amidst a giant economic crisis in their country...oh, that's right, I was thinking of Adolf Hitler

    I think it would be refreshing if the people who elected this socialist fuck (liberals) would admit their mistake

  • I don't get it! How do we call something a stimulus package if it doesn't take affect for years. What happen to NO earmarks, transparency, 5 day viewing periods on bills and all that other stuff????

  • I don't expect a good lol in videos like this, but your comment gave me one.

    Haha.

  • Who else made an honest mistake? Geithner, Killefer, Lynn...

  • Yeah...just to make it easier just say if obama wants em lose, they must be thugs, liars, cheats or bums...or he would not feel comfortable. Birds of a feather...and all that jazz.

  • Who cares?Just keep working hard!And please correct the imbalnce in the trade tariffs that currently exist! TARRIFFS! Other wise ur on the Bush Team of global order!Americans are sick of the Bush agenda!Our elite suk!

  • MR McCAIN

    WHO CARES,

    THESE FOOLS WANT TO DIG DEEP INTO MY WALLET, YET ,WON'T WISH TO CARRY THE SAME TAX LOAD WE LITTLE GUYS HAVE TO.

    THEY COMMIT FEDERAL FELONYS AND YOU JUST SHRUG IT OFF?

    ARE YOU SOME SORTA USEFUL IDIOT?

    YOU KNOW THE DEMOCRATS CAN DO NO WRONG. KUNDA GUY?

  • Thats why your country is fucked and always will be, until it is run by liberals. Just handing over the country from one idiot to another. Best thing to do is sell drugs, evade tax and live a profitable lifestyle from other peoples addictions.

  • Obama messed up on Daschle.....and Richardson and Geithner and Emmanuel etc...Great start Obama, way to go!

  • awesome we finally got an honest president.

  • Did journalist come so heavily on Bush and all his ties to industries and dubious characters when he assumed as president?

    Give him a break!

  • What corporations did with your bailout $:

    50M corporate jet - City Group

    400M naming rights of NY Mets stadium

    5 day employee super bowl carnival Bank of America

    440K employee spa party AIG

    86K Partridge hunt for executives AIG

    Tax payers getting screwed and blindly asking for more screwing: Priceless

  • BANG-O-RANG BARAK!!!!

  • whatever he is smarter than bush and yes he is the president so suck it up and support or kill yourself HAHAHA!!!

  • Tax Cheats...why is Geitner in as head of our treasury???!!! Obama is a joke..this guy has NO IDEA what he's doing. Everyday watching this clown is frighteningly funny...only not funny. He said NO PORK NO LOBBYISTS...how many times is he going to say "I screwed up" and its only 3 weeks!!! He is in WAY OVER HIS HEAD, WANTED TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT BUT NOT ACTUALLY BE PRESIDENT. So Much for HOPE AND CHANGE.

  • Bush was over his head for the entire 8 years and republicans still gave him two terms to totally screw up the country. We should give Obama more than two weeks to fix it.

  • he's so honest in his interviews, it's refreshing to hear a president telling it like it is

  • ppl voted 4 dis idiot

  • i feel ya

  • he's human!!

    people make mistakes!!

    i congratulate Mr. Obama on acknowledging the fact that he messed up instead of making excuses. Some of you people are just full of ignorance and hatred. I don't care whether you voted for him or not but the point is HE IS THE PRESIDENT AND THERE AIN'T NOTHING YA'LL CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!

    He's new in office. Give him a change...stop acting like he's been doing this for years!!

  • true dat i hate him but he is our president

  • I'm a conservative Republican and I agree with you. I pray for him and pray that God give him wisdom to lead our great nation. Let's pray for him daily and all the leaders of our nation.

  • U better pray really hard, cuz he's ruining the economy fast!

  • I assume that's "Give him a chanCe."

    I agree with your comment.

    Support the president.

  • you can wait three years

  • How gentle couric is with him, if he stopped short, her nose would be a crappy color brown.

  • Stand up everyone who you chose Obama and ask them... DID YOU PAY YOUR TAXES? If not then you are OUT!!!! This is totally out of control. Yes you should learn and do your homework sir...

  • "Barack Obama is a complete and utter failure. I made a big mistake in voting for him, even the God Damn French think he's nuts. Its going to be a long 4 years"

    People actually voted for this rube??? LOLOL!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Yea people with morals not on the side of fascist evangelical fundamentalist, not like you. U are a perfect example of the deepest of ignorance, hate and fear. Maybe it is laughable the quotee U cite suddenly calls Obama a failure after a month. Any CHANGE ahead is on the horizon, it isnt a matter of; figure-head changes; all of U.S. suddenly looks different; vote successfull. Oh is it really too difficult for U to see the light, and the truth ???? Stinkin pig !

  • lol.. if people didn't vote, then why's he the president dumb mother fucker, you ain't worth shit

  • "lol.. if people didn't vote, then why's he the president dumb mother fucker, you ain't worth shit"

    A mind is a terrible thang! It's called sarcasm loser.

  • President Obama, thank you for being an example of how to gracefully admit one's mistake without blaming anyone else. A most graceful person you are!

  • 1.6 trillion bailout = 5K per American. 4 ppl in a family = 20K per family.

    Think of it this way, under the new rule, companies getting bailout is allowed to (and will) pay their execs 500K each:

    (1.6 trillion/500K (per executive))/300M Americans x 100 = 1%

    This means the gov can support the top 1% of Americans with $1.6 trillion of your $. You can say well the $ doesn't go to the execs it goes to a company. But the company pays the execs!

    This is called lemon socialism. NO BAILOUT!!!

  • What the hell is "lemon socialism"? I've never heard of that!!

  • Ever heard of Google?

  • How would you describe your choice of 9 senior positions given to Trilateral Commission members? This really looks like you sold out the USA to foreign powers. Your financial policy also is completely wrong and will destroy the USA, which is what world powers want to happen.

  • Barack Obama is a complete and utter failure. I made a big mistake in voting for him, even the God Damn French think he's nuts. Its going to be a long 4 years

  • Gobama!!!!!!

  • I like Obama .... never seen his face confused like in this video when katie tells him about the taxes....jaja welll he is doing what he can...i just hope for immigration reform ASAP

  • He can't even pick his own cabinet without screwing up!

    Wow! Can't wait for Russia, China and Iran to get involved!

    Liberals are constantly "explaining" things they're just wrong about!

    Blah, Blah, Blah, Lies, Blah, Lies, silly idea, Blah!!

  • Is this the end to Obabble's mistakes? I seriously doubt it. This is going to be a LONG 4 year of Obabble.

  • Wish he would have stop calling us ordinary people ...I see my self as an American Citizen....guess that's pretty much how he see us just plain old ordinary people who bear the burden of pay the taxes ....hmm thought every American citizen was suppose to pay taxes rich, poor and everywhere in between.

    Why not just check all government workers elected or not and see how many aren't paying taxes now that would be accountability to me.

  • hes a great man of the sheeple

  • How does his admission of a mistake mean anything if Tim Geitner is still the Treasury secretary? (Not to mention the lobbyists William Lynn and Corr in top Obama admin positions)

    I challenge anyone who thinks it's SO refreshing that Obama admitted that he made a mistake to debate this point. If you can't then just say uncle and stop spreading uncritical obama gospel.

  • OBLABALA, Timothy Geithner the tax cheat was appointed to freaking treasury bozo! You already set the double standard you fake phony fraud. OBLABALA will say anything and is the biggest snake the white house has ever seen. Daschle did the right thing and OBLABALA is squirming like the snake he is. This guy has no mentor and looks like a deer in headlights! The most corrupt and under qualified President you will ever see in your life time.

  • The most corrupt and under qualified President you will ever see in your life time has made his journey to his "ranch" to 'clear some more brush'. LOL

  • i wish all politicians were that accountable. there are too many slippery eels in politics, wiggling around every question of failure, getting distracted and trying to protect their ego.

  • I'll respond to paniq303 just to show that I'm not arguing his statements just because he's a lib and just because he's Obama. I do concur with you that he was very up front with admitting to his mistake with Daschle. In that regard, I find an inkling of respect in him.

  • You are right. We are not even a month into his presidency, and it's impossible to make a fair judgment right now, positive or negative. That would be like dismissing or praising a newborn.

    And: I didn't know I'm a lib before you told me so :) I try to make up my own mind on things, and I don't like to be labeled. Same goes for you, I'm sure you wouldn't want to be called a rep either - just as there is no pure black or white.

  • Lets all be honest with this crap. The simple fact is that all of these politicians, Dems and Repubs tax the shit out of us, and then they in turn refuse to pay their own taxes!

    Fuck it we should all stop paying to.

  • Wait wait wait... back up here. At 4:13, he says that he was "up front" in appointing this lobbyist. He claims that he came out and told the public that he was making one exception. Can someone reference this supposed previous statement by him because I can't seem to find it anywhere. Looks like we've got ourselves another "Slick Willy".

  • It's nice to have a grown up as President instead of Bush.

  • What in the world are you talking about?? You mean "socialist" president instead of Bush??? He lied within the first 50 seconds of this video by saying that Daschle "didn't offer any excuses". Check any major news outlet and you'll find excuse after excuse that was made about his $220,000 tax fraud "mistake". Honest mistake -- HA!!

  • mike - It's nice to have a grown up as President instead of Bush. If you are truly clueless about what I'm taking about, you haven't been paying attention to world events in the last eight years.

  • So I'm guessing that you're one of those people who believe that Bush somehow magically created our current economic situation. That he could somehow wave a magical wand and "fix" Iraq and bring our soldiers home. If you think that a president has executive power to do anything he wants, you need to read up a little on government.

  • You're guessing wrong. I'm saying grown ups take responsibility for their actions and Bush did not.

  • Bush is gone, he kept us safe. Obama has done nothing except fuck up in his first two weeks. Your man is in now, so I would suggest shutting the fuck up until you have something to talk about. So far he has bombed, no stimulus, no transparency, no plan for guantanamo prisoners and he is on the same Bush timeline with the Iraq war.

    Lets toss out capitalism for socialism, we are only the most powerful nation in the world because of capitalism. Yes lets do that!!!!!

  • Another delusional reactive, are you mikelindo? This bantering of "socialist" and your allusion to a $220,000 "tax fraud" are first indications that you may very well be an uneducated, paranoid fabricator of a reality painted by the likes of the myriad of radio talkshow shills that flood our airwaves. If you must voice an opinion, can you be more lucid or at least more accurate and honest?

  • And the only thing that you can do is throw out names and forget about the facts? Do you not remember that before Daschle was caught, he claimed that it was just a giant mistake that he knew nothing about? Do you not see that Obama has retraced his words over and over in the past month? Looks like you're a good critic of the facts, but state none yourself. Go ahead and continue the name-calling. It doesn't bother me in the least. I do my homework.

  • "throw out names and forget about the facts"? Did I mention or throw out any "names" or is this another delusion?

    As far as considering 'facts', what is this "$220,000 tax fraud" you've cited? Further, where does the "socialist' proclamation which you've cited, exist, ... in your head?

    It would appear that your world of reality exists in the spin and deception provided for you by your media gods.

  • See ABC blogs and look for bumps in the road. All of his unpaid taxes equaled out to around $220,000. He did pay about half of it off once he got caught.

    As far as your question about socialism. As far as I know, the more the government takes from the population and disperses how they please, the more socialist a nation is. Criticisms of private business also falls under that category. As far as I see, Obama's pork-filled stimulus plan which will double our nations debt is just that.

  • Obama promised so much. Any level headed person thought he was promising to much and was saying whatever he had to get elected. Now everything he does is going back on his word. Also he sends a stimulus package to the senate that is so one sided toward the left and then claims they are not playing fair. Sound like something a child would do. At least he hasn't passed any of his socialized medicine yet. That will be the end of this country. Can't wait till taxes 3X so I can see a doc 1/yr

  • Listen, Daschle made over 5 million dollars. His tax error was a failure to report free use of a car as income, and the mistake involves less than 3% of his income.

    ---

    He made the money as part of a lobbying firm, by Obama's own declaration he shouldn't have even been considered for the post.

    It's amazing how much the Obama cultists will allow him to lie to them.

  • What we're seeing more and more with this guy is broken promises. "I will not have lobbyists in my administration"...except all of these guys. "I will have the most ethical administration in history"...except for the tax cheats and the pay for play experts. "I will outlaw torture of terror suspects and close Gitmo"...well maybe, if i can find someone to take these guys, but in the meantime I'll widen the practice of renditioning so other countries can do my torture for me... what a joke.

  • Question of the day: In the past 8 years, When did we ever hear an admission from a president, that he screwed up, takes responsibility and apologizes for not being more examining before deciding?

  • Thank you.

  • amazingly refreshing?bad judgement is bad judgement,you grouvelers are pathetic.$138.000 dollars is an honest mistake?i wouldnt forget about a $5 debt..liars liars

  • Listen, Daschle made over 5 million dollars. His tax error was a failure to report free use of a car as income, and the mistake involves less than 3% of his income. People commit greater tax fraud by lying about how much they put in the collection basket at church. I don't particularly care about Daschle, but this is a sad political assassination. Would this mistake affect his job? No. Is he a bad role model? Most Americans don't even know who he is.

  • I will not defend ANY politician for a transgression. He/she MUST own up. But regarding your vehement personal comparison, Daschle did not 'forget' about the 128,000 dollar perk, against a $5 million income, his tax prepare did'nt consider it for whatever reason. When it became apparent by the IRS, he paid it. I'm personally glad that he withdrew but I fail to understand why or how this reflects on out president?

  • Thank you Mr. President.

    Mitch McConnell did you pay your taxes? I say everyone lets call on our Senator to reveal their tax report if they are going to represent us.

  • It is so amazingly refreshing to have a president who can speak intelligently, take responsibility for mistakes, and present possible solutions rooted in reality - admit imperfection and difficulty (none of the simplistic mission accomplished rhetoric that the right loves)! There is much work to be done - we are in a mess - I am glad this is the man Americans chose to attempt to do the job.

  • At least he has enough gumption to come right out and say it instead of hide behind his mistakes or try to skirt around the question.

  • If i didnt pay my taxes i would be in jail or in payment plans... something... not the head of the treasury dept.

  • NOW are you in favor of taxing the wealthy (like Geitner and Daschle) and giving to the poor? I always have been!
