  • yeah he's getting things done he has allready added another 2 trillion dollars to our dept since he's been in office and all kinds of programs have been cut slashed .he not only taking care of bush's mess and obama has created a double whammy so now he has 2 messes to deal with a double dose of ignorance

  • Simply put. Use this for your arguments.

    /watch?v=JqU8ANqFVzM

  • Before any of you guys blame Bush or Obama, remember that it started under Clintons administration, when banks were forced to give loans to people who couldn'tafford to pay their mortgages.

  • I can't believe more voting people don't understand your point. And now the government behaving in the very same way as the uneducated in irresponsible people who first began accumulating this massive debt. it wasn't a free market that failed us, it was gov. intervention on a free market.

  • @seanf4i Well its the uneducated masses that elect the fools into office. What more could you expect. My policy to vote the current idiot out of office. I really enjoyed watching them redicule CEO's, yet last time I checked any company that ran like our Govt would've been out of business years ago, yet our leaders have the nerve to spew discontent ,and polictical banter for gains on these corporate leaders, but they are much worse.

  • Political philosophies of both the democratic, and republican parties are being debated, tediously in my opinion.

    One thing is clear, "Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction". Time to put the politics aside, suck it up, and except that we're in a rut Anything that is proposed is better than inaction. Bickering across party lines over philosophical differences in approach to this problem of economic recession is counter productive, as it inspires fear and uncertainty in the markets.

  • we are screwed, obama is ruining the economy even worse, he has no clue what he's doing..

  • i have a HUGE Q in 1000 pages of the 1tril $ stimuros bill is ther any thing not going to govermt power or pety projects?

  • it is going to petty projects and into the hands of politicians and rich CEOs. Sorry to bust your bubble guys but the Democrats are having trouble with AIG and the bailout, how can they control the large investment bill.

  • Loved this video! I like the way it was well put together. It wasn't just slob put on the site. Good Job! Good video! =D

  • obama is going to do the job for osama...

  • No time for politics! WE have to pass earmarks now.

    The House is expected to pass earmark bill worth an additional $410 billion after the stimulus.

    watch?v=tLwHrRhuKzU

  • Obama really don't have much to lose by promising a miracle, his entire campaign was based on miracles, one more couldn't hurt any more than it already will. Even if all the debts are internal, it will be a tall order to halve it with these spending, let alone external debts to countries that isn't even American allies.

    Obama is going to need to kiss a lot of peope's behinds if he is to make this happen, bye bye superpower status.

  • Did anybody hear him talk tonight about cutting the national deficit in half by the end of his first term? From what Ive been able to find on this, he was referring to the deficit as of today -after his first month of spending. If you cut it in half today, it will still be greater than it was when he took office. I mean, greater than his inheritance.

  • People might be misled into equating "deficit" with "debt" by this kind of talk, but he was referring to Fiscal Year 2009, which includes a $1.3 trillion deficit inherited from the last months of the Bush administration (Oct.-Jan.).

    I don't think anyone could realistically decrease the national debt significantly without raising taxes or cutting spending by a large degree, either of which would have the likely result of punishment at the polls.

  • We decided to have an election for a class president

    Candidates were nominated by other class members

    Both candidates were good kids

    The day arrived when they made their speeches Jamie went first. He ended by promising to do his very best. Everyone applauded. He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream."

    The class went wild

    Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream, and the people reacted like nine year olds

  • Really?

    Basis?

    Nope.

  • Hilarious!  I love the analogy. Only instead of pushing lolly pops, he handed out a fist full of victim mentality.

  • Shifty bastard looking extreme right and extreme left - never straight ahead.

    If the camera had panned down, a dirty jew would have been seen working the coon's mouth with a hand up his arse.

  • I don't agree with any of this porkulus. We can't spend our way out of this mess. We have to cut taxes on buisnesses and cut capital gains. This will put people to work not PORK BARREL SPENDING. IS OBAMA AN IDIOT??? IMPEACH HIM NOW BEFORE ITS TO LATE!!!

  • Haaahaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhaaaaaa... ha ha ha... oh man, you ought to be a stand up comic!! Ha ha ha ha ha... ooooohhhh boy that was funny.

  • I bet you well be singing the same note when he cuts your food stamps off. I bet any money you will squeal like a pig!

  • Haaahaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhaaaaaa... ha ha ha... oh man, you ought to be a stand up comic!! Ha ha ha ha ha... ooooohhhh boy that was funny.

  • The media will not speak of the HYPOCRISY of spending more in one month than any other President has his whole term and the talk about "fiscal responsibility" If it wasn't so scary it would be funny!!! Its not funny.....

  • Ummmmm, do you realize Bush's tax cuts ALONE were 3.5 trillion?

  • HAS ANYONE DONE THE MATH?

    3% of $1.3 trillion--Its  $39 BILLION! Thats enough pork legislation --OH excuse me, broad brushed as wasteful spending--for the next 4 presidential terms. Hes accomplished this in about ONE month. For better or worse, this guy has some power.

    I seriously am terrified. Really, I just shit myself over this guy. Now Im sitting in my own crap. No president has ever been able to do that to me! Bush scared me, but he never made me crap in my own pants.

  • you might want to see a doctor about that not being able to keep control of your sphincter .

  • The bill was 787 billion you asshole, don't try to spin when you speak, how about you base your arguments on facts instead of taking the bill adjusting it AND THEN dividing by 3 percent. You know what the fuck he meant fool.

  • Not true. Youre getting your information from the politicians. What they dont tell you about is the additional future monies committed to new programs and policies within this bill (now a law), and the additional money which will be spent on it's interest. It really is 1.3 trillion. The sad truth is that I do know what he meant. And it isnt what hes pedaling. Havent you heard about all the governors who are considering turning this money down? Doesnt that seam odd to you at all?

  • Stop spending all your afternoons listening to Rush and maybe you might come back to THIS planet. We ALL know they are turning it down for political reasons. They are trying to show they are ideologically "pure". Sadly their constituents will pay the blunt of this political ploy.

  • I think you're terrified because he's actually getting things done.

  • I agree.

  • are you kidding me? his whole "yes we can" said he would fix in New Orleans what BUSH the "white devil" didn't.. and yet not a FUCKING PENNY of the new stimulus package is going to that shitty ass poverty stricken waste hole of an area. The areas that needed to get fixed are fixed UNDER BUSH. the rest was log forgotten by you so called MESSIAH otherwise known as "obama"

  • State funding is in the Bill as well as funding to FEMA.

    I understand that you're upset and letting emotions easily sway your opinions. I understand that you're becoming restless and impatient and expect change to happen over night.

    The fact is that you never really listened or comprehend Obama's plans before he took office.

  • I don't think your understanding my post, the whole argument I'm trying to say here is that everybody and their brother criticized bush to no end about not fixing ALL of New Orleans. and now obama has done the same and all you and other people like you can do is say .. well this and that and make excuses... hold him just as accountable as people did bush and all is well.. oh wait.. we can't do that because this is the messiah. Stop with your double standard

  • Again. You prove that you lack comprehension.

  • Typical Obama voter.. making a simple black and white point with you is like Arguing with a sony, apple or microsoft fanboy.. carry on.

  • @EmperorKagato that is precisely why I am terrified! Getting bad things done does terrify me when speaking about government.

  • @EmperorKagato LOL getting things done? Think again...

  • His MAIN political ADVISOR is

    Zbigniew Brzezinski

    Never heard of him before? Maybe because he's not THAT well known like some other guy.

    He's more acting in the background although he's quite well known too.

    Do a search on your favourite search machine (which should not necessarily be google) on him and find out who this guy is who supported Obama during his campaign and wil now be his

    FOREIGN POLICY ADVISOR!!

    BRZEZINSKI !

    LET THIS FACT MELT ON YOUR MOUTH!

  • The Neoconstime is over. Their power is gone.

    A new strategy to fulfill the ELITE's (Not the politicians) goals has to be established in order to achieve a NWO agenda.

    People don't fall for the Bush-Jind of huy anymore but they are falling for the NICE and CLEVER guy (who at least seems to be like this) who bring a better politic.

    And if you're not even scratching his surface questioning yourselves who this man really is, the same MISTAKE happens over and over again!

  • What the fuck are you thinking?

    You have no idea of ANYTHING.

    Obama has been chosen by the ELITE already in the mid 80s! Among with some other possible mansurian candidates to become pres. later on.

    His whole life he was promoted / supported by the Elite. Not even knowing this was the case.

    Same thing as with the Bush mofo. gang He was supported by the Elite.

    Otherwise people like these puppets wouldn't have become president anytime.

  • What's with the weird conspiracy theories? Why do conservatives never base their arguments ON FACTS. He was POORER THAN YOU WERE when he was a kid you asshole. I didn't know being on foodstamps and basically going to all your schools ON SCHOLARSHIPS made you elite.

  • Quote: "You and your Illuminati bullshit. Stupid Christians and their revelations. Get a life."

    Your are not only damn stupid and brainless and ignorant, disgusting and whatnot. You are stereotyping other people.

    I hope you will die in a US Nazi-deathcamp you motherfucker.

    I AM NO CHRISTIAN OR BELIEVING IN ANY OTHER RELIGION / SECT OR WHATEVER!

    Get a life yourselve as long as you can, dipshit!

  • shut the fuck up already. obama is the same as every politician on planet earth, and the fact that he thinks he's somehow different shows everyone that he's a pathetic moron. he's a shit talking liar just like every politician that ever opened his or her mouth.

  • when did we had open discussion about this stimulus spending ??

  • Sorry Barack, but politics is what politicians do. Politicians are small minds who can't come up with big solutions. There isn't a statesman in the bunch. Sorry Barack but, Same Shit Different Day. We all need someone to blame for the disgraceful way we have all lived.The future is nothing but a mess for our children and every citizen is to blame for supporting it.Barack,you are the one who will be blamed.I know it is crazy but it sure beats each of us taking our well deserved share of the blame

  • Why would Obama be blamed for Bush's mess? You aren't making much sense.

  • People will blame whomever is in charge. Obama takes action but it won't make any real difference. The cards are dealt and when Obama doesn't make it all better, the knives will come out, or at least the whining. People may see it as Bush's mess but they see Obama as the saviour who will fix it all. When he doesn't fix it, he will be blamed. Clear enough???

  • I don't believe that... people still blamed the good times in Bush's early years on Clinton and the bad on Bush so I'm willing to wager that people won't be so quick to forget about the worst president ever.

  • Quote: "Obama is the best thing that ever happened to the folks in control in a long time. Well spoken, likable, and the an amazing ability to sway public opinion toward the ultimate goal of an eventual one world government."

    100% true.

  • You and your Illuminati bullshit. Stupid Christians and their revelations. Get a life.

  • I thought he was smart he is actually borrowing this line from Bush lol

  • The wolves want you to believe that they are actually elephants and donkeys.

    If you haven't figured that one out by now...

    You've been bamboozled !!!

  • Look up the definition of "politics" and you will find Barack Obama's picture...In fact he has taken the art (not science) of politics to a new level. The train will go off the tracks with even most of his ardent supporters, its just a matter of time before they realize that "change" isn't alway better....

  • this stimulus package though is a reinvestment in our country. we have spent so much $ rebuilding iraq meanwhile the standard of education has fallen because it hasn't been a priority. industry/manufacturing has fallen because we import but not export.

    if we spend $ here, americans work & buy goods/srvc. simple economics that get clouded with political rhetoric/scare tactics.

    look at how wallstreet wants more $. they're manipulating #'s again to make it look like the sky is falling. pay attn.

  • So you like protectionism. Isolationist are you?

    Well, maybe 100 years ago we could have done that. No more. It is a global economy now and we are interdependent on the rest of the world for our manufactured goods and even many services.

    To move away from the current status of the world's economies would simply hasten our demise.

  • Barack Obama is a complete and utter useless failure just like George W. Bush.This"Stimulus"Bill doesn't do jack shit for hard working Americans like me.A 13 dollar a week"Tax Cut"?Thanks for NOTHING Obama.Every God Damn time he and that tax CHEAT Geithner speek the Stock exchange takes a shit.I can't believe i let myself be fooled into voting for this lying"Articulate"hack.He also LIED about ending the Iraq war,he also likes TORTURE by allowing RENDITION to continue.This change is BULLSHIT

  • 1 2 3%??? Looks lik B O is smokin weed again. Either that or this guy is a compulsive liar.

  • Why do I have to choose just one of those options?

  • a compulsive liar was ur republican president who got us in this mess economic mess and into wars that were based on lies. So now its time for people like you to shut your useless fucking mouth and let the real president who won an overwhelming majority do his work.

  • Shut ur pie hole hoser. You have no say here.

  • Not to worry folks.

    Rep. Pete Stark (D) from California splains it simple English...

    "The larger the national debt...the wealthier we are".

    watch?v=UjbPZAMked0

  • Odumba is just pouring out lies and thinks opposition to what he wants is evil. He's the anti founding father..

  • theaudacity - I'm sure your one of those that beleive Obama is not legally president either. There's this thing that has been invented called Google. If you just click on it , you will see his birth certificate. I hope Obama spends and spends and spends, I can afford it.

  • I hope some some those jobs come to michigan,that the stimulus is suppose to create and soon. Out of all those billions no money directly to the people,instead just give 900 billion to gaza for egging on a war with Israel. lets take care of our own first

  • Good luck!!!

  • The wolves want you to believe that they are actually elephants and donkeys.

    If you haven't figured that one out by now...

    You've been bamboozled !!!

  • Agree on 90%, hell ding dong they are still finding crap they didn't get a chance to see.

    If just 1% is a waste, pretty much the rest is too.

    Again he wants to rush into the bill that takes so much from each state that openly expects it.

    Now that Obama has spent more than Bush in 8 years in just a month. And still asking for more. Still handing out money that will never see or help the working persons of the nation.

  • You're exactly right! I thought the same thing. Obama talks about Bush and the deficit created over 8 yrs. and he's gone hog wild in just a month! I wonder what next month will bring!

  • Obama ... the usurper stimulator. You're right. He's going to stimulate us to death. I will say he's busy. Something new every week. I guess he'll keep going until the banks close, everyone's money is gone, there is civil unrest, and martial law is placed into effect. Just my honest opinion.

  • A new week, a new stimulus package!

    Can't wait to see what next weeks stimulus package is.

    If we're not careful Obama might stimulate us to death!

  • Good god Obama is dumber than rocks.

    He can sure read a teleprompter though.

    And yes, i dont care where he graduated from HES STILL A MORON.

  • Hey Obama maggots! Are you enjoying Obamas depression yet? In one month this ignorant arrogant marxist piece of shit has wrecked the economy. The bad news is that there is more to come.

  • obama is handling BUSH'S mess about as well as ANYONE could, you dumbass piece of shit, but if you're DUMB enough to think this stuff is his fault, then your understanding of BASIC economics is negligible and i REALLY don't know why i am talking to you

  • @Taranof... Lets see... Bush leaves office, stock market 9000. Obama "takes charge" market drops 2000 points. Obama has made things worse by printing and wasting 1 trillion dollars, by NOT cutting taxes on businesses. Instead the dumb fuck is going to raise taxes on them. JUST GREAT UH!

  • You are ignorant. Obama didn't cause the collapse. It wasn't something that happened in February. Stay away from Fox news and you'll be able to be taken seriously in these all important YouTube debates.

  • @Taranofsky WOW, you must be eating your words these days. Stimulus package=bust. Oil spill=bust. Now the Blago trial starts......

  • @Taranofsky FOR FUCKS SAKE THEY ARE THE SAME SHIT! THEY BOTH WANT BIGGER GOVERNMENT! THEY BOTH INCREASED GOVERNMENT SPENDING! THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT IS TAXES AND RAISING TAXES WON'T DO SHIT! BUSH = OBAMA! STOP BEING BRAINWASHED BY THE FUCKING MEDIA!

  • BUY A GUN! the next 3 years are going to suck!

  • Does anybody know what thegas4free.blogspot,com is that Obama has been talking about?

  • good to hear from the president as always 5*

  • That was very poorly said. He tried to get what he meant across, but he said it in a very poorly spoken manner. Could have been said a lot better imo =P

  • Yeah, most people agreed with Hitler 90% of the time that doesn't mean the other 10% wasn't important.

  • damn, obama haters love bringing up Hitler...figures.

  • And why do we all bring up Hitler?

  • I've never seen people act more childish then the republicans are acting now

  • There's that old statist line again: "Put people back to work." Yeah, like I want the gov't to "put me to work." No, thanks, Mr. Obama. You see, I believe in something called freedom, not havin the gov't spend to oblivion and tell me what job I'm gonna work at or spend my hard-earned money go to someone else as unconstitutional redistribution, rather than having him look for his own job. Besides, gov't jobs suck. Who wants one of those, building bridges and whatnot?

  • Well... While you sit home thinking, I'll be making some money for my family and helping build up with projects that benefit America's future.

  • this is just the supremely stupid and ignorant shit that's holding us back right now. you bitch about the govt playing mommy and daddy but you have no problem when guys like Richard Fuld play your mommy and daddy and give you chores to do. then you have the nerve to bitch and complain when molest and rape you and slap away the hand that's trying to give you a better chance.

    you sure are an idiot. go ahead and reject the money/jobs. millions of people have responsibilities unlike u so it seems

  • that's why i love when Obama gets up there to speak. dude just points out those problems. i want him to go a step further and point out the problem individuals as well. he started with that fat ass useless piece of shit, oxy/cocaine addict, rush limbaugh. don't stop with that fat nigger.

    Obama needs to stop being the good guy for once and just let the dogs loose on these assholes. help America make the "left" choice in 2010, 2012, and beyond

  • Lol you called Rush Limbaugh a "fat nigger". I don't know why that's so funny... maybe because I'm black. But putting all jokes aside, I hate Rush Limbaugh. And I do hope the President addresses congress very effectively tomorrow.

  • hey i found it funny when i took a second look at it too.. but i know a nigger when i see one and i don't throw around words like that lightly.. loud mouth, arrogant, ignorant, barely educated, and just plain stupid.. if that isn't rush limbaugh in a nutshell, i don't know what is my good man!

  • Haircut!

  • Republicans got OWNED

  • yup..

  • republicans don't have honest disagreements and even when they do it comes from a place of honest miseducation and honest ignorance amplified by honest arrogance and honest conceit..

    can anyone say sarah palin?

    nah.. screw the republicans.. and i don't mean, leave em out of the discussions.. have more open discussions and PINPOINT exactly WHY that individual is the problem.

    they jump on their podiums and hide behind righteous ideology when they're just idiots who don't understand anyway

  • That's the problem with this entire statement. He just said there will be plenty of time for politics later. You guys think you are still fighting against Palin and the evil Republicans. You won! You've got a majority! You don't have to fight the Republicans any more and you certainly dont need to entertain criticism from cable news. Get a plan together and start leading.

  • and that is exactly where you're wrong.. republican ideology has to be THOROUGHLY destroyed and only be available as a chapter in the history books. this shit won't end until YOU people are fully driven under the rocks you came from.

    republican ideology does NOT work, will not work, will never work. while i am but one man, i will do my best to treat republican ideology like pedophilia, as something to be destroyed.

    it ain't over yet buddy, not by a long shot.

  • That's a bit scary dude. Kinda Hitlerish with the "you will be destroyed" and "drive you under the rocks" stuff. I'll just say I don't hate you or the president. Just trying to have an honest dialogue here. I really think the administration needs to stop with the trivial politics and start leading.

    Also, I think it's "good riddance" but hey, what do I know. Peace bud.

  • Psssssst You're arguing with a Paultard. You have as much chance of getting a point across to him as you have of getting the wall to tap dance. I once thought Bushies were bad, but now I have witnessed the fan boy syndrome that is Paultardines and I was wrong, Paultardification is the utter worst thing that can happen to a mind.

  • I may beb a Paultard but your a Hopium addict. Hope and Change has sent the markets in a tailspin the past month. We need real leadership and a solid plan. This "plan a day" approach is killing the markets.

  • Sorry Paulie, I don't trust ANYONE who is in office. But one thing is totally clear, conservative policies and politics are like Krytonite to America. Paul offers Conservatism on steroids.

    Our problems aren't simple and simplistic answers just feel good, they seldom if ever work.

  • I agree our problemss are complex... but that's because the Government makes it that way. Take the Tax code... not very easy to understand, even for our Treasury Secretary.

    Ron Paul simply points out that the constitution is intended to protect us from all this "planning" and government mingling. Govt. cant solve the problems... Government is the problem. Anyway I just think Barry needs to pick one plan and stick to it.

    Peace bud.

  • Ya, because the markets were fine before Obama took office right?

  • touche Flang, touche

  • You don't get it. There is no real difference between the republicans and the democrats. The powers that control thing here in the US are neo-cons. I understand your discontent with the republicans, but contrary to what you believe, this problem is not because of "left" or "right" anymore. It's about "right or wrong". The things that the "left" are doing will continue this downward spiral in our economy. They are going to get every last dime they can before they destroy the dollar.

  • So by your logic, the things the "left" are doing are the same things the "right" did, considering they started the downward spiral.

    So who is left, in your opinion, to do the "right" thing?

  • Explain to me exactly what change has Obama made. He has pushed through a record amount of legislation. What has he done that Bush didn't do ?

    I have a couple of ideas....

    Stop spending money we don't have. That would be change.

    Instead of consuming the country should be saving and producing. That would be change.

    As far as who started this mess, it started in 1913 when the Federal Reserve was created.

  • You ask what he's done, then blow off the ACTUAL legislation he pushed through.

    That is like asking what did Bush do bad, other than start 2 wars, doubling the national debt, destroy the constitution, and infringe upon the rights of US citizens.

    Bush didn't begin spending money we don't have, it's quite common for presidents to do that.

    Obama has been in office for 1 month in case you don't know.

  • Man, you better wake up, soon. Obama is not going to stop anything that GWB started. Wait and see.

  • WOW, that was awfully conceited and WRONG.

  • ahhhh fuck off you clown.. you're a dying breed, GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDENS..

  • Ahhh, the "open mindedness" of the liberal mind.

    What an oxymoron!

    "RIDDENS"???

  • Ahhh, TedinLasVegas bashing liberals on a tpmtv video, what a stretch!

  • Does anyone have a link to the entire new conference/speech?

  • Worst president ever. Hope he gets impeached before the year is out before he destroys the rest of the country. This guy is the biggest jackass I've ever seen.

  • Hey, that is a great description of George Bush.

  • Nice comments Barry, the DOW is only down 250 so far today. It's lost over 1000 points since Jan 21. Keep talking and we will be in the 6000's by the end of hte week.

    How about less talk and one SOLID plan for the banks. The Market is telling you something. Get a plan together and go in one direction. Having a new plan every day isnt working. You are the leader now Barry. Stop listening to the whiners, pick a strategy and lead us.

  • If Obama was really interested in protecting this country, he would put it into bankruptcy protection, get rid of ALL the derivative contracts calling them for what they are (null and void gambling bets), get rid of the Federal Reserve Bullshit Ponzi scheme system, and implement a new US Dollar based on infrastructure projects, which would be put into circulation without debt (it would NOT BE LOANED TO US BY THE FED)... please study this ppl! money as wealth dotttttt blogspot dotttt commmmm

  • if you REALLY think so...

  • Yeah... he REALLY thinks so.

  • Obama has signed a presidential determination allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to resettle in the United States. Sure, what can go wrong when we allow hundreds of thousands of people who have been described, "marinated" in a "sick death cult," who voted for Hamas, and 55% of whom support suicide bombings live here and at the American taxpayers' expense:

  • Ya, I'm sure they're all crazy and came here to kill us all. Maybe they came here to because Palestine isn't the safest place to live and they might find some sort of economic opportunity here. Why do you think immigrants come here. Stop generalizing. The world is complex.

  • Where'd they message of hope go?

    theres a few possibilities

    a) he got a reality check when he actually took the job

    b) he said anything and everything to get the job

    c) he just a puppet, and says whatever he's told.

  • c)!

  • i think the answer is all the above... i still think he's better than Mcain

  • those statements were really pretty irrelevant to the question posed at the end.

  • THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!

    for making this statement.

    again, why i NEVER trust fox news

  • When the states reconcil the numbers of the 3/4's lost tax revenue from the price of a barrel going from 140 to 32 you'll see.

    Trillions have disappeared under the fed and now the government is taking your own tax money and lending it back to you in the form of a check for labor you where already doing with interest.

    The solution is saving. Not spending. Spending and creating date is weakoning the dollar. I predict an collapse of the dollar within the next 12 months.

  • Are you sure?

    'Cos you're spookin' me, man. There couldn't be that much interest, could there?

  • I mean, how is the US gonna pay there trading debt? Are they gonna fly the chinese in to play on the golf courses built with taxpayer interest dollars?

    Are the chinese gonna sale over here and park in the marina's built to pay it off. If so, that makes sense on spending money on those things to generate dough.

    My question for everyone is, what's gonna happen with the numbers reconcile and 3/4's of the taxes from a gallon of gas is gone? LOL.

  • I think u meant "creating debt"

    shame....

    u sounded almost intelligent til then...

    I am certain yr prediction is being rushed to the president as we speak...

  • Dude the country is already broke, we are at the point where something has to be done instead of people just doing nothing but complaining. Get over it and get off the bandwagon that so many people are on.

  • when he says "putting them back to work" he means dying for bullshit in Afghanistan and Iraq....

  • Why are you critisizing him for cleaning up turds left by bush

  • Great talk Obama! A perfect opportunity talking to the governors, rebutting all the recent bullshit and coming out like a total leader not afraid to throw a punch. and at his time, and at his convenience.

  • Try to think for yourselves...think about the wars we are in!! We should just get out of our empire building! Obama is the same. McCain was the same. Bush was the same...do your own research.

  • NObama!

    You are a FRAUDSTER! A NWO-Puppet!

    Get out of office and let the REAL GOOD ppl

    do their work.

    Make place for Cynthia McKinney, Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul!!

    THEY would make a change for GOOD and not for WORSE like you will do!!

  • Eeyeah...... ok.....<_<

  • Most Republican Governers want Obama to fail more than they want to help the people who have lost jobs and lost their homes and who will lose their jobs and their homes in the near future.

  • probably trying to resalvage the Republican Party after the Bush Administration

  • They could care less, the ones who are suffering the worst are the poor and the minorities, groups that when all of the bullshit is boiled off, are anathema to the Conservative agenda.

  • Typical liberal... wants to stop partisan bitching and actually get things done... ridiculous.

  • lol that was funny, and you're absolutely right. That's the argument from republicans and it makes no sense.

  • where were the republicans during the wasteful spending in Iraq?

  • So who do we attack? We took out a corrupt dictatorship that is responsible for mass murder and use of chemical weapons on the Kurds. The use of chemical weapons is a WMD. So where is Al Qaeda? Countries like Iran, Iraq and Pakistan are their safe haven.

  • Same lame bull shit lies and propaganda. Fuck man, at least come up with something that has an ounce of originality and a drop of reality.

  • BINGO!

  • Obama's right. If both parties agree on 90% of the bill, then it needs to be passed. This isn't like some ordinary yearly budget. The survival of the United States' economy, and indirectly the economy of every country in the world, depends on the passing of this bill.

  • How exactly is the bill going to help the economy? Nobody will ever know where the money is going exactly. CEOs with million dollar paychecks and corrupt politicians like Blagojevich will suck the bill dry.

  • Agreed 90% is good enough for a consesus.

    Though I appreciate the select GOP opposition for expressing their view point, and I'm sure they'll keep us posted on any possible mishandling of the funds, holding up this bill because they can't agree with on everything is a little parochial.

    I think this move will hurt them in the long run, but their in for a long painful winnowing period.

  • why 6 thumbs down? i'm not saying anything untrue. i'm not even putting my opinion out there. this is fact. it's one thing to think before you speak, it's another to stick a big "ummmmmm..." in there. and stop listening to the political rants of your college professors, you're being brainwashed.

  • Republicans and Al-Qaeda have one thing in common: they both want the American economy to fail.

  • i love this guy about time he called them all out! im tired of all the cynical media and the people that allow themselves to be brainwashed!

  • so everyone who disagrees with the pres is just playing politics? that's something bush would say. "youre either with us or with the terrorists." Youre either with us or youre against the American people....

  • no that not what he is saying, what he is saying is that if there is just a small part you dont like and most of it will help your people then dont play with there life. The gop govs are playing politics when they say will not take the money that will help there people. there will be time to disagree and he welcomes that but the bill passed its now law and not to take the money is just playing politics

  • no that's the exact opposite of what the President said. are you ignorant or a liar?

  • you should see how he set up that whole statement. also, it's not about "everyone who disagrees". it's some who ARE positioning for campaigns. also, the people who agree with him could be playing politics too. consider that. he's trying to deal with a crisis that has the potential to be another great depression. what would you suggest?

  • I would suggest that they NOT install the same people into office that screwed the whole thing up in the first place. I would then surround myself with advisers that understand the fundamental cause of the problem so that the problem can be fixed at its roots, instead of just `painting over the rust`. I would then dismantle the federal reserve and prosecute the bankers who illegally stole the wealth of the citizens through a corrupt fiat money (laundering) system. Then I would bring back gold..

  • fuck yeah, the gold standard? i'm TOTALLY with that. but, you can't get anyone to agree on the causes. some people blame sub-prime & no doc loans. some people blame the exportation of labor. ultimately, it's a combination of all those things. rust is gonna happen no matter what. right now, we gotta get the damn car started so we can get the fuck back to work. it'd be nice to fix the car the 'right' way but missing too many days on the job means we don't eat.

  • That shows you how unknowlegible you are of economics. If we went to the gold standard right now, ee might as will stock up on as much gold as possible because the whole world economy would crash. Right now there are deflationary pressures on the economy not deflationary pressures. Now maybe back in 2003 when interest rates were low and the economy was overheating that would have been a good idea but it would be a total desaster right now. Maybe in the future

  • "...cable chatter" right on the mark!

  • Mr. Obama, the "topic of argument" IS NOT about a small percentage of the stimulus packages.

    The topic of argument is weather you can correct a situation caused by excessive borrowing and spending with more borrowing and spending.

  • Bobby Jindal and Mark Sanford just got OWNED!!!!!!!!!
