Barack Obama Answers National Security Questions

[hsmhairspray97]

This is a correct answer! Why do you guys act so stupid! Man, Americans have turned into retards since the Bush administration! Get informed people!!!!

[DamianoVinci]

focus on love, dont' be fooled by demons with beautiful, world saving discourses. Don't be fooled by false apocalypses and zeitgeist ideologies....We are being told lies since the begining of the history, since we invented time. Know that evil can't touch you if you seek truth, for evil knows only to lie, he has many faces and names, but is basically the same... use your heart to seek truth, yesterday won't change...

[PLAYBOYTHUGGIN]

Obamas $75.5 billion for the rest of the 2009 fiscal year to cover the cost of sending more troops to Afghanistan this year and additional $130 billion for 2010.

[05311990frog]

keep on goin straight into Afghanistan is what he means

[CULAVE]

People accuse politicians of never giving a straight answer. Well Senator Obama has obviously given one.

[coachvint44]

He hasn't given a straight answer in his life. Oh, yes he did. When he said he would raise taxes.

[CULAVE]

coachvint44- did we watch the same video?

[littledogs1]

Unlike Mcshame, Obama has the judgement to not vote for war, and unlike mcbush, he knows that the sunni and shia have been trying to kill each other 1500 years. Please people vote for whats best for you, not for bush's evil twin mcsame.

[coachvint44]

He didn't vote against the war in Iraq. He wasn't in the senate. He is not good for national security.

[Jennofthejungle49]

Lying sack of doggy doo doo.

[GYMBROWN]

It seems Bush has brainwashed a good % of society. To know that you can change laws unconstitutionally, go to war without it passing congress, have gas prices go from at or around $1.42 at the beginning of your presidency and $4.04 towards the end, our ecomony is shot, the value of a dollar is worthless, have the 9/11 attacks on your watch, turn your back on Katrina victims and have ties to a company making millions( haliburton) of a war that you launched. Priceless American stupidity!

[kvjhedfbv]

Everything was going well until Democrats took Congress.

[BapticostalFreak]

Take it from a democrat all democrats want to do is 1 be in power 2 raise your taxes 3 pull troops out of war so it can be said the democrats left and 4 when something goes wrong blame the republicans.

[mexseiko]

Totally disingenuous: Bush never stated that Muslim are out to get us. Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, others are allies of United States. Bush policy: Democratize Muslim countries and liberate them from radical governments. Obama said that democratizing Palestinians was a mistake because they elected Hamas, an extremely stupid ignorant assessment. Hamas campaigned claiming achievements on Israel's big compromise for peace. Since then, there has been a power struggle there.

[bigbox27]

At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize.

On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated. Who killed him?who killed kennedy? Racism=Hillary=fox attack obama. YES WE CAN...

[Keyman444]

all of the candidates are pro war and pro big government, including obama, which supporters do not know becauase obamas ads play on people's emotions and speak general words, for lack of policy which benefits the public. "the minority, the ruling class at presdent, has the schools and press, usualy the church as well, under its thumb. This enables it to organize and sway the emotions of the masses, and make its tool of them." --Albert Einstein

[emailpack]

That little thing about iran, I mean if they are asking for it, then why are they asking for it? I mean are they really asking for it?

[darthscumbagus]

Yeah, he wants to disarm our nuclear arms,as well as take guns away from us. I am in Texas and I will be voting for Hillary tomorrow!

[irman1125]

Hillary has the exact same position on guns and nuclear weapons.

[darthscumbagus]

Yes, look up operation chaos, it is working. ;)

[meak911]

Obama is brilliant.

[teasleyj]

"All Muslims are out to get us" Come on Obama who ever said that? You don't have to be a idiot to see through you lies.

Between Hillary and you it looks like the Republicans will hold the Whitehouse.

[punkposer]

Do you listen to talk radio? I've heard so many propagandist statements about muslims trying to take over the US. They talk like our country is so bad at defending itself at home, that we'd actually let radical Islamic terrorists invade our country, like we invaded Iraq. Point is Obama was spot on, because in this day and age, there is a silent but very poignant dislike towards the Muslim religion of Islam, and it's followers. Remeber Timmy McVeigh, a Catholic? Look what he did...irony..

[nerdofthenight99]

Hmmm...

Vote for a two-faced, hot-headed liar who is about as Republican as donkey wearing an elephant trunk

OR

Vote for a psychotic, emotionally unbalanced woman who is about as sincere as a rabid poodle

OR

Vote for a smooth-talking lawyer who has had less than 2 years of congressional experience, all the while hating our flag, our pledge, and even the name of our country

OR

Waste my vote on another party candidate

The political groundhog predicts at least another 4 more years of bad policy!

[punkposer]

dude our pledge today is as fake as anything, do you know how many times it has been changed up, to the point where it loses its original meaning...just wanted to get that across, but you're entitled to your opinion..

[danglingwrangler]

Obama becomes the 2008 spoiler for GOP to sneak back into Whitehouse by forcing a brokered Democrat convention in which Obama engineers after 1980 Dem Convention where Ted Kennedy is coincidentally the "CHANGE CANDIDATE" and pulls exactly the same political shenanigans of trying to change party rules and get delegates to switch, upsetting the Democrat nomination... amazing Deja VU, but - Kennedy's plan backfires & loses -- so TRUE !

[napalm70]

I'm voting for Obama

[peregrine75]

You should post the video with more tags so people can find it easier and see what really happened, rather than the MSNBC post that refuses to allow people to comment.

[cyberella]

Google 'Freedom's Enemies, Barack Hussein Obama' by Beckwith.

This man has done extensive research on this man and links to back up each accusation to his own speeches, books and the newspapers.

[vitaphreak]

We must not forget that Obama's middle name is HUSSEIN, and he may very well indeed be a secret black muslim.

C'mon, can't you imagine that mug with a bowtie around his neck???

[blackenuf4ya]

Racists are so dumb. Dumb, dumber, dumbest.

You'd rather have someone in office that doesn't give a crap about you or your families than have someone black be the President.

[lewismedlock1966]

from my position, its a foregone conclusion that a black president WOULD NOT have my family's best interests at heart.....as long as Im white and he isnt, he will have a score to settle.

[blackenuf4ya]

Why wouldn't he? What does your family need that's any different from what my family needs, or any other American family needs? Everyone's family needs a roof over their head, a way to support themselves, good education for their children in a safe environment, health care, and security for their future. Do you think your family is somehow better than everyone else's family in this country because you're WHITE???

[lewismedlock1966]

better..no.

yet to deny that he wouldnt use the presidency as a platform to even things up is fantasy.

Obama loses either sooner or later....white union dems in MI, WI,OH and places similar will, protected by the anonimity of the voting booth, will send obama home without the brass ring.

[blackenuf4ya]

The fact that you use the phrase "even things up" lets me know that you're aware that things aren't exactly as fair and balanced as they should be, and that what you're actually afraid of is GETTING WHAT YOU DESERVE. Reaping what you've sown.

At last, racism exposed for what is really is: FEAR OF RETRIBUTION. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

[lewismedlock1966]

reaping what Ive sown? wow. Im sure as an impoverished potato farmer in the UP of michigan, Ive been able to 'exploit' a lot of black folks~lol.

And your caps tell it all...lots of anger simmering away under that pot on the stove thats ready to boil over uncontrollably.

Move On : )

[blackenuf4ya]

No wonder potatoes have been tasting so shitty lately. Assholes like you are growing them.

What do you use for fertilizer: right-wing propaganda? Try using a better grade of crap next time - Americans aren't buying the same old shit from you racist fucks anymore.

[lewismedlock1966]

nice mouth.

I bet Imus had you in mind.........

[blackenuf4ya]

Don Imus is a washed-up, tired-ass, butt-ugly, alcoholic who wishes he had as much popularity and money as Howard Stern.

He probably said what he said to get some ratings/attention. Nobody cares about Imus anymore. He's yesterday's news. His glory days are long gone - sort of like yours.

[lewismedlock1966]

wow, what a statement, considering you dont know me.

anyhow, nothing personal, we just agree to disagree.....no racist here, not at all. Not a collectivist here, so I dont tend to lump people in groups. Not my style.

My point was that folks will vote along color lines next fall, or sooner.

Have a happy new year.

[blackenuf4ya]

Know you? You don't even know yourself. You're convinced that black people have it in for you. Black people hate you. Black people wanna see you and your family suffer. Please...

Stop projecting your own feelings onto others.

[lewismedlock1966]

"Stop projecting your own feelings onto others"

......I dont. I gotta run, so I'll crawl back under that rock you thinkI live under.

Merry Christmas.

[TheAussie00]

Why do you think blacks hate him. I know your just saying that because you do; why? Because your a white faking your black (possible) or that you don't want an African American proudly representing his country as president after centuries of opprssion.

Think about it, fool.

[lewismedlock1966]

those 'potatoes' you pick out of the ceramic bowl, aint potatoes, sweety.

have great day : )

[blackenuf4ya]

Well, maybe if guys like you weren't up black people's asses all the time worrying about us "evening things up" (LOL), you'd realize how stupid you sound. Bush & those thugs don't care any more about white impoverished potato farmers than he does about poor black people in the ghetto. You are so fucking stupid. I hope you wake up one day and realize that I'm not your enemy. Your real enemy is YOU.

[lewismedlock1966]

"You are so fucking stupid."

Did I say Bush cares about me?

Where did you get THAT?

Merry Christmas.

[blackenuf4ya]

No, but you are assuming that a white president will serve you better than a black one, and you are basing your assumption simply on the color of his skin and not what kind of person he is. That's what makes you stupid.

Well, you've have had white presidents for DECADES, and you're still an impoverished white potato farmer. HOW THE HELL IS THAT A BLACK PERSON'S FAULT??? That makes absolutely no sense!

[lewismedlock1966]

"Well, you've have had white presidents for DECADES, and you're still an impoverished white potato farmer. HOW THE HELL IS THAT A BLACK PERSON'S FAULT??? That makes absolutely no sense! "

no president could save my butt at this point.

Nce thing about the upper peninsula, is when a farm goes under it isnt replaced with an allotment, gated community or a wal-mart....it just fades away.

so I guess its a moot point. Didnt mean to offend.

Merry Christmas.

[blackenuf4ya]

Lewis, I apologize for my ugly words before, but it's REALLY HARD to be a kind person when people are constantly attacking you and others like you because of your skin color.

I don't want you to lose your farm. I want you to live better. I want all of us to live better. Those guys are living real good up there on Capitol Hill, while you and I are living hand-to-mouth and struggling every day. Isn't it time we stop this race war and get someone in there that can help us ALL?

[lewismedlock1966]

no problem. the imus comment was over the top as well. my apologies. gotta run, its 22 degrees out, ive got a truck to get running by morning and at the same time ive got to keep the coyotes out of my dairy barn as well, so i gotta get to work.

Merry Christmas.

[blackenuf4ya]

Ok. Merry Christmas.

[blackenuf4ya]

Not IF, but WHEN Barack Obama wins, he wont need a meaningless symbol like a brass ring to represent his victory, because he'll be wearing your testicles for earrings.

Merry Christmas, and a HO HO HO!

[malyikaj]

i can't believe ppl are making that clip "obama yelling at old lady". I am so sick of the media making gender and race such a big issue. They never talk (deeply) about WHAT they are saying, comparing 2008 plans for America. I guarantee ppl know who sounds better in a speech who looks better in a suit, or who is the one American ppl are "ready" for. Pa-lease! DONT fall for it, listen to what they say and who you agree with, and dont fall for all that other bs....

[cooljj82]

This was a very good speach and I agree totally with what he is saying. But there is someone else saying this same thing RON PAUL! And he is the only one that will get the troops home immediatly. Also he wont raise our taxes and leave the border wide open for terrorists to walk in, like Obama. Which is why I think he would be a better president.

[05Kenshin]

thanks for posting this, i was concerned the other video was taking something out of context some.

but

he's very close to a howard dean moment here.

i also don't understand his shia/sunni statement here. now post-surge, most of the sunnis are in exile, and the shia government and military are resisiting bringing in the sunnis as part of the government, and may probably keep them from coming back to their homes.

[peregrine75]

I think he was talking in the context of what led us to war, while responding to the woman's comments, not about what's happening currently in Iraq. I don't think it's a Howard Dean moment.

[whyuasknme]

Obama is a big talking lawyer that bulshits his way through questions. The whole Democratic party is shallow. Check out Republican candidates (other than McCain and Guliani). They have solid ideas that don't involve jacking up taxes to give to people who don't work for a living.

[lukebessey]

I've only been following politics for 8 or so years(a bad experience so far)...Obama seems like the first honest guy that actually has an answer or atleast the energy to reasonably find one. Go Obama!!

[kirkvanatti]

I was at this event and have seen some posting saying that Obama was yelling at Jane Svoboda. I'm glad you posted this so everyone could see the truth.

Jane Svoboda said that if Obama believed that all 1.3 billion Muslims didn't want to kill Americans than he might as well believe in Santa Claus! In a meeting that included young children! You could actually here the room full of people moan out loud because she was being so ignorant.

[Zappafan5150]

Good answer by Obama. I'd like to see Hillary try to answer this

[Crysmarie]

thank you for posting this
