  • The only real questions left to be answered are these:

    1) Is he CRIMINALLY INCOMPETENT or is he CRIMINALLY INTENTIONED?

    His attempted subversion of the constitution and his involvement as a co-conspirator along with Holder in the murder of U. S. agents and HUNDREDS of Mexican nationals through THEIR implementation of the CRIMINAL "Fast and Furious" debacle demands he be impeached immediately!

    2) Does he deserve execution for these crimes or something less?

  • No obama is just another monkey. Pay to play politician, easy to see, he doesn't get anything done. Troops are still in Iraq for crying out WAY LOUD, the economy is still bad, healthcare is still superexpensive, gas prices are still high, where is the "Progress"? He is collecting a big paycheck per year and a $10 million dollar pension afterwards and this is all that he does? So LOL at this drumline guy.

  • @munsterr777 you are a dumbass, use more of your brain and less of your inbred genes thanks

  • @smashadin And what have you got to say in his defense?

  • @munsterr777 that ure just another unhappy american not seeing the big picture.

  • @smashadin What I can see is that you're just another stupid moron that can't see anything at all

  • LOL @ all the idiots here saying he's an absolutely terrible president, you're all either mad that a republican isn't in the white house, or just plain stupid. In a 2010 poll of history scholars, Obama was ranked 15th out of 44 all-time as far as the best presidents go. Oh, and by the way, I'm an independent. I just love making fun of how incredibly ignorant and brainwashed (Rush Limbaugh anyone?) some of you morons are.

  • THIS ADMINISTRATION IS A NIGHTMARE, BY HIS OWN ADMISSION, OBAMA WAS NOT READY, YOU CAN FIND THE SPEECH ON YOUTUBE, HE WAS A JUNIOR SENATOR WITH NO BUSINESS EXPERIENCE AND ALMOST NO POLITICAL EXPERIENCE, THIS IS A NIGHTMARE....THE MESS WE WERE IN BEFORE HE CAME TO OFFICE WAS THANKS TO LIBERAL SPENDING, POOR BORDER CONTROL, AND ON AND ON....THE DEMS HANDS ARE AS DIRTY AS BUSHES ON THOSE COUNTS, SO NEITHER SHOULD BE EXCUSED, PLUS THEY WERE DEALING WITH 9/11......RON PAUL 2012 IS THE ANSWER

  • He could have ended those two wars right? That is why they voted for him right?

    So where is the anti-war crowd now?

  • @Boostnitup he was voted for because he is black,do not be mislead other wise.

  • @kylehboc714 Actually he is the first bi-sexual black POTUS. (Larry Sinclair) It is questionable how "black" he really is... we can assume he is more Arab than "black" by DNA structure analysis.

    Regardless... he remains unqualified as "Fallen Lightning" aka Barrack Obama. Google the description of his name, and you will see he is mentioned in the Bible's book of Revelations. Why? He is the anti-Christ.

  • @Boostnitup "he is mentioned in the Bible's book of Revelations"

    The extreme nature of your delusions is fascinating.

  • @halleyscomet Facts are what they are... Facts. Google: "Translation of Barrack Obama" and the Bible references are there for the reading as well.

    You support the "Fallen Lightning" of the book of Revelations, as you worship "The One;" the anti-Christ of Revelations. Obama refuses to see Christ as the redeemer of mankind. The LEFT utterly repudiates Jesus Christ... "NPR's Totenberg apologizes for saying 'Christmas'..."

  • @Boostnitup Your biblical ignorance is astounding.

    For Obama to be the antichrist he would have to be JEWISH. He would be rising to power in ISRAEL, not the USA. He would also be moving towards global dominance and you wouldn't be able to stop him. And please, don't bother with any of the Bible Code nonsense some of his critics are trotting out. Google "Bible code skeptoid" if you want to learn the FACTS behind that particular bit of nonsense.

  • @halleyscomet No... Your Biblical interpretation is amazingly wrong. The Anti-Christ comes out of the East (Kenya falls into this interpretation, as does the other foreign nation he resided in as a child). His connection to Israel is noted by the US's creation of the UN - and it's passage of Israel as a nation State in 1948. The Biblical code is accurate in that it names Barrack Obama directly! "Fallen Lightning" is the description - The Fallen One - The One. He is indeed the anti-Christ!

  • Wow, don't blame the state of America on Obama. Blame it on Bush and those retarded republicans.

  • @l3rockLee WOW ! you really have no fucking clue, you are a prime example of why kids need to stay in school.

  • Would you know it america voted for HIM?

  • I cant stand him

    He doesnt know what the hell he's doing. Wtch the republicans will get the house

  • it's fucking hilarious how people think the republicans will regain control of the house in november. what the hell makes you think the lack of miracles during obama's first year in office has suddenly caused all his supporters to change their minds about how clueless the GOP is? disapproval ratings are one thing. changing their vote is another.

  • @jakeisawesome91 I don't know or care about the House in November but it sure isn't a lack of miracles everyone is wondering about, it's the fact that he sucks fat dick like Bush did.

  • americans are dumb

    so the dumbest president that is confident and lies and says shit with a smile

    will win

  • Over half percent of Americans are stupid igonarant fools that dont know how things run. Igonarant fools that listen to news casters that just want something contreversial to talk about so they can keep their jobs. Obama is one of the best presidents the U.S.A has had because he atleast takes action.

    With a Republican as president the U.S would be in civil war by now.

  • @master9716 typical liberal,mislead and lost.

  • Please, Obama is a fail generator, a breaker of promises and has almost destroyed the Democratic Party. How could the Democratizes go from having it all to this?

  • WHen Bush was president, if it wasnt for 911, BUsh would of went down as 1 of the greatest presidents, and we gave that motherfucker 8 years to really fuck this country up and now you DUMB motherfuckers wanted me to hand it to PALIN and McCain, I mean those were my options right....

  • I didnt see people doing graphs on BUSH's Fuck ups, so FUCK THE REST OF YOU FUCKING FUCKS, for a guy doing his best to clean up the shit and Urine of other of WHITE presidents that's been shitting in this country for years, now they want him to make it smell like ROSES in one year, are ya'll SErious, you MOTHERFUCKERS, FUCKING TEA BAGGERS, go suck his dick and he'll do a job like CLINTON DID, fuck ya'll I LOVE OBAMA! if you dont like it, RUN in 2 years bitch stop complaining, we were all quiet

  • @9N8X That's the most retarded thing I've heard today. What the hell do dumbass Republicans have to do with Obama's subversive idiocy? On the job training--seriously any American that voted for this guy needs to get a smack to the back of the head.

  • @YourLostConscience you dumb bastard so our other option for president would of been better than OBAMA, so PAlin and OLd ass McCain would of did a better job is that what you are arguing, because if that is your argument you deserve a bullet in your head.choose 1 of the lesser evil and I'm sorry Obama and Biden was a better choice for me than PAlin and MCCain where whould we be NOW.think about it you fucking MORon the guy is doing the best he can do in these fucked situations leave him be.

  • GOOD JOB!

  • OCOTBER!!!!

  • Almost all spin....lol.  You know it too....and not only that....but I remember that Bush had a much lower approval rating. Nothing else to say. :)

  • @Meburningyou - only a delusional Liberal would call facts spin.

  • Wow... the first eleven seconds were about "being fair" and the rest of the video (five minutes and thirty-three seconds) were all spin. Amazing how that qualifies as journalism today.

  • Comment removed

  • @DanielSahne actually they wouldnt shut up they want our money they know exactly how high taxes would be.

  • excellent video

  • rebubs arent going to make it easy for him, and us, the people. their most concerned about their way of life at the cost of the rest of us. The republicans wont even try to make it work so that he looks bad and try to blame him when he is for the best interest of a dying nation. our nation. the USA is fuct

  • Be patient folks, just like former prez Johnson once did, he cracked the whip and whipped some ass! The guy is under 50 and surrounded by old white men that have controlled this country for a long time but that is certainly over really soon. But their all old and trying for dear life to hang on to that power.

  • I blame republicans, in the 1980's I was one ...die hard! But since I have seen threw regans trickle down b/s to todays " we stand alone" b/s . You re-tarded-publicans feed big business so you can eat at the same trouth! Truth is beyond your understanding , I am not a dem, I am the people you a-holes! Elected presidence's are 4 year, we put him there, support , advise and honor him. Dont like him after 4, FIRE HIM! You F/tards gave a known fool 4 more years...go figure!

  • Obama is a nice guy, but he doesn't know how to solve problems.

  • It is amazing that he has a 50% approval rating...this shows the ignorance, whether by choice or by public school indoctrination, of the people in America.

  • excuse me but have you attended public schools in this country? i my self am a 15 year old freshmen, and as far back as i can remember not one of my teachers have ever even brought up politics as there not allowed to. nore are they allowed to spece of religion or a few other hot points. never mind them trying to influence or " indoctrinate " us. don't criticise a system you haven't experienced first hand.

  • dont criticize a system i havent experienced first hand?

    that is the sole reason for criticizing the federal school system...its been proven to be garbage...i was in it, it was worthless...we had no private school option in my area...why? they wouldnt have been funded by the taxpayers locally and federally.

    the schools indoctrinate by teaching what the government wants you to learn...Abe Lincoln for example, they will teach you he is the greatest president and he freed the slaves, wrong.

  • Amazing where America has come...Washington/Jefferson...­.to Bush/Obama...hahaha, pathetic.

  • "Too many times, after the election is over, and the confetti is swept away, all those promises fade from memory, and the lobbyists and the special interests move in, and people turn away, disappointed as before, left to struggle on their own." --candidate Barack Obama

  • @hookalakah  Sounds strangely prophetic doesn't it?

  • Every person is corruptable, and people will accept it, look at the late Senator Kennedy. Remember when working with the law, you have to take into account the letter of the law, the spirit of the law and the intent of the law. law is not and never has been absolute, set in stone, irrefutable.

  • here is what I have to say, and I can only speak for myself. we pay medicare, medicaid, workmans comp, va, tricare, and private insurance, nobody gets cured, just treated. if we got rid of all of that, and created one administration, and healthcare were treated as infrastructure instead of big business, then i think we would be better off. a pharmaseutical company can charge you $100 for a life saving med, even tho they rec'd grants for R & D and admin costs. hmmm but you still dont get cured

  • Wow. I guess people here get pissed w/o more and more money to buy more stuff like the Chinese. Healthcare is being changed at the rate of 45000+ citizens deading without care each day. Poverty is one group not letting another take care of their basic needs. Our government is a slave to the rich like everyone else.

  • @jnickle

    I KNOW Democrats deserve the lion's share of the blame...but certainly not all. I put it at like 70-30. I was VERY disappointed in GWB. He spent like a sober Pelosi...now she is drunk. Yes Repubs have screwed up...the reason for the Tea Party movement.

    Gov't needs to be at a local level.

  • ...not free trade. We need to ensuree our companies can produce great, EXPORTABLE products made by american workers who can afford to live on their wages.

    We need to fix health care...by simply stopping the "pre-existing condition" BS, and Tort Reform.

    We need to build nuclear power plants, and DRILL like crazy.

  • when are we gonna c the "real power men" real faces obama is just a shade to himself, order must be satisfied, you know if i was president i may not yell about skull and bones either. it is so beautiful to c how you can shift to fit as a man. I beleive in obama but know i can never know him for 100 % nor bush. i understand all is for a bigger cause, little man or BOB hehe can´t c it from such a wide perspective. and you fuck up once in a while mr HOOVER who is gonna clean up your mess ? YOU lol

  • as an independent who came across this video by chance, i think many of the republican comments would hold more weight if you stopped referring to the president as "obongo" or calling him hitler or the antichrist. it's hard to take those comments seriously since it just makes it seem like a radical racist comment. i don't know, take that for whatever it's worth.

  • 3:43 - 4;05

    ummmmm

    ?????

  • If you think you are JUST FINE, then you wouldn't be on a news source like this arguing about what they actual source said. You just listen and retain it. If you argue that usually means you are insecure about what you believe in. People attacking others on here for the obvious is overly maturity and all they are is annoying because their stupidity doesn't make it a law or effect us at all.

  • There are two classes of people. The workers and the owners. If you work for someone else you have the right to sell your labor for whatever you decide.That is the law. The less intelligent of America think we can continue going backwards to get ahead. Don't argue with them, just ignore them. They obviously don't understand the subject. I have yet to see one of them come up with a point, just insults. That is immaturity. We didn't pick our president this last election. The economy did.

  • Comment removed

  • to bad nobody can aford to pay that in the real world i would like to make 10000000 to put a tire on a car in a car plant but who is going to buy the car that cost 100000000000

  • Comment removed

  • You Americans need to start a new revolution here in Europe we are already locked down we live in a material fascist union

  • Nickle,

    Is it at all possible for you to STFU? You have not once made a post that is 'not' attacking Lar on his intelligence, as well as throwing Fox News into the mix. You, little girl, are the one who is indoctrinated by pathetic schoolteachers, venomous college professors, and MSNBC. So while you have done an effective job of saying nothing and meaning it, you have proven yourself to be not only an airhead, but also a jerk.

  • Well, if he would make a valid, coherent argument that was based on fact and not opinion, then I wouldn't have to call his intelligence into question. I get my information from both right wing and liberal news articles and then form my opinions based on the facts and truths that I see, not what somebody tells me to think. I have also backed my arguments with data and disproven many of lars counter-statements. I feel like this is the Rep. convention again, one Dem shutting down many Republicans.

  • That money is not going to you so your waisting you time defending obongo face it u have been told a bunch of bullshit wall street and banks are not bad things big government is and big government telling which companies are going to be helped and which are not is really bad and that is what obongo is doing right now And I bet your lying about who u are to by the way

  • You're right, that money is not going to me. I come from a middle-upper class family, but that doesn't mean that I want to see the hard American workers of the lower-middle class suffer. I support the blue-collar workers and small businesses of America. To say that you don't think banks and wall st. execs. are a problem is unbelievable. They are the ones giving themselves extra bonuses and salary increases instead of creating jobs with the bailout money that the have so generously received.

  • ummmm... i have not seen one fact from you. just emotional BS. Democrats NEVER have facts.

  • You must not be looking hard enough then, because the facts are there. Obama implemented a $15 billion small business stimulus which includes funding and tax cuts, but i guess he doesn't support small business according to you. Also, Obama raised nearly 85% of his funds from individual contributions of less than $200. The wall street contribution were minimal to his campaign, and now the execs. are pissed because they expected reciprocation, but Obama is not lining their pockets with cash.

  • I think you need to hire a fact checker. Obama has not in fact paid off his benefactors with $2 trillion dollars. It is obsurd to even say such a thing, unless you mean that the American citizens will be the benefactors. The majority of his budget has cut back on military spending, and put that money back into areas that will actually benefit the future of America such as education, health care, and energy. I think it's time for your to get off your high horse and step back into reality.

  • fact 18billion is nothing fact it will never get to any small business only to his crony's that voted for him what happen to the 800billion they stole that should all go to small business

  • It's $15 billion, and I would hardly say that it nothing. It is actually a quite substantial amount of money. Just for the record, grabbing a number like $800 billion off of a website and claiming that Obama "stole" it from small businesses does not constitute fact.

  • fact this is one of the most corrupt administration that we have ever seen

  • Those are merely opinoins my friend. Opinions that hold little to no truth, and I am certain you could not back up those statements.

  • fact acorn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • fact government spending will only go to the rich and the well connected

  • @jnickle UNTRUE!!!! GOT YOU IN A HUGE LIE!!!!

    From the FEC: SEIU and it's members gave him $34 million. UAW and it's members gave him OVER $40 million. Wall Street donations totalled over $27 million. Trial lawyers over $41 million.

    Go push your lies elsewhere

  • Don't get too excited there chief. Obama's fundraising brought in around $750 million. So, like I said, the numbers you speak of only represent a very small percentage of his overall campaign fund. The majority of those funds were from small donations of less than $200. I speak only facts & truth. What you choose to make of these facts is up to you. Good try though.

  • jnickle...you really are a simpleton.

    look at it this way. UNIONS contributed 79% of all of Obama's bank-roll. Wall St added another 5.7%. Think he isn't OWNED???

    You are a total idiot.

  • You sir are idioctic. What don't you understand about Obama's fundraising? About 85% of his total funding came from individual families & supporters who each contributed a small amount to his campaign. These small contributions from a tremendous amount of people resulted in a record breaking campaign fund. The unions and wall street fat cats together only contributed the other ~15% to Obama's campaign. Did any of that information make it through your thick, ignorant skull?

  • all politicians are lying scumbags but a guy like obongo just takes it to another level and he can lie all he wants he works for the banks not the other way around

  • WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just saying these made up stats don't make them true. You are missing the FEC. and you are an idiot or a liar. OR both.

  • You really are dense aren't you. Your own stated source confirms the exact same information and statistics that I have been presenting. The Republican party would disown you if they knew how unintelligent you truly are. Either that or they would give you a show on Fox to continue regurgitating hate and twisted truths. The man knows how to raise funds, get over it and get on with your life instead of conitually harping about your own parties downfalls like a true Republican.

  • huh, since the FEC site sonfirms my numbers, I will be expecting an apology.

    Do you enjoy lying? If so MSNBC will be looking to fill keith olberscum's 8pm slot soon. You should apply.

  • Seriously buddy, learn to read. I can not stress that enough. The only thing that the FEC confirms is that about 85 % of Obama's funding came from individual contributions from the American public. The other 15% or so came from PACs. unions, etc. I really don't know how you could misinterpret those factual numbers. As I said before, Obama received money from big organizations/businesses like all politicians do, but that only represents a small percentage of his overall fundraising (15%).

  • Oh, and as for the "Keith Olberscum" comment, I wouldn't accept his job. Personally, I don't like the man, and I don't need a sharp dressed newscaster to tell me what to think. Unlike you, I am able to form my own opinions instead of believing everything someone else tells me. Not all Democrats are liars, although your right wing pundits would like you to think so.

  • ALL democrats are liars. just like you. I guess the FEC is lying, and you have the real books huh.

  • oh and BTW... I never said the union contributions were PACs you idiot.

    the UAW, SEIU, AFT, NEA all use payroll deduction to make PERSONAL contributions so they didn't have to worry about PAC contribution limits. Same with the trial lawyers. Those above mentioned UNIONS had there members contribute the MAJORITY of the extorted funds Obama received. Oh my, mor EPIC FAIL for you.

  • Right, all Dems are liars, Obama is the incarnation of Hitler, unions forced their members to fund political campaigns, Obama extorted his campaign funds, etc. Do you have any more conspiracy theories? Your numbers match mine exactly, you are just too thick to realize that the funds Obama received from PACs, unions, organizations, & big business only make up about 1/7 of his campaign funds which is about the 15% I previously stated.

  • your 15% is flawed/lies. UNION members were forced to give some of their union dues as campaign comtributions.

    ARE YOU THIS STUPID?

  • Assuming that your statments about union dues going to campaign funds are correct, then i so suppose that the 15% I stated could be flawed. It was not a lie though, I was just going off of the numbers i had in front of me. I guess you know more information about the unions system than I do, so I do truly apologize. I want to see our tax money go back to the American people, and not to the already rich that just want to stuff their pockets until they burst.

  • I think that is something we actually both agree on. I was working under the assumption that unions do work to benefit working conditions, wages, health care, etc. for their memebers and therefore the money would be better off in the hands of the unions. Contrary to what you might think, I really do have an open mind to both sides of a situation, so I do respect your statements and will take your argument against unions into consideration. I'd just like to see America get out of this recession.

  • @jnickle99 You say the Democrats are for the poor and middle class but they are not the government's way to get money is by taxing when they give out a hand out to a group it is really all of us that pays for it and most is waisted that's why it's better to Have less government then more they will just bankrupt the country

  • The dems will Always lie to stAy in power the just can't say no to speading and tell the people the truth that we can't afford to help everyone all the time

  • Look bud, I really do have better things to do than to translate your incoherent jumble into English. If you are going to continue to talk about something that you know absolutely nothing about, form a complete thought and then write. The Dems typically do raise taxes, but they put the money back into community programs that benefit the poor & middle class. The Republicans on the other hand, hate taxes because the rich don't want to part with their money.

  • The Republicans are conservatives who don't like to see change. They want the rich to stay rich & the poor to stay poor. They want the weak to be oppressed and the powerful to control every aspect of the nation. I can admit when I am wrong, and I do admit Obama hasn't done everything right, but nobody can because nobody is perfect. He surely has not been doing all of the evils and atrocities that the Republicans keeps talking about.

  • You just refuse to believe that anybody outside of your party might have legitimate solutions & proposals. You might not agree with everything Obama does, and I probably won't either, but give him a shot before you jump down his throat. He has only been in office for a year. We have had GOP representation in office for 8 years and we are still in this shitty mess. I'm not saying the GOP is 100% at fault, but it's the Dems turn now and the GOP should be more open to this adjustment in our nation.

  • Comment removed

  • @jnickle99Wrong the dems they take that money and us it for government salaries and hiring more government employees you don't know shit about the government jobless rate for gov workers is only 3% that is were all are money goes to them not us.And gov worker and retire at 55 can we no

  • Yes, government jobs often have better benefits and are typically more stable than working a non-government job, but that has absolutely nothing to do with political party. Those government jobs exist no matter which party is in office, so you can not realistically say that the Dems take money from the public to pay for those jobs but the GOP does not. Also, those jobs do not consume all of the public funds like you are trying say. Just step back and think about it for a minute.

  • @jnickle

    if that is true then you need to support very-conservative republicans. Not RINO's like Lindsey Graham and John McCain but people like Rick Santorum, Alan Keyes John Linder, etc.

    You need to support the total disposal of the tax system, and implementation of "The Fair Tax" (you can buy the book and read about it's logic). You need to support tremendous reduction in the Federal Gov't and the dismissal of at least 35%-50% of the federal civil servants.

  • You need to support school vouchers, and teacher standards (i.e. merit pay) to improve our schools. But not everyone needs to go to college, so we need to have strong Vocational Technical schools.

    We need to encourage corporations to become patriotic again by lowering the tax on corps to less than 7%. Companies will flock back. We need creat a block of laws protecting worker rights, and then dispose of the unions since they are an unneceassary beauracracy. We need to support FAIR TRADE

  • I probably do share some of the very-conservative ideas, but I do not support all of them (same goes for the Dem party as well). I will definitely look into "The Fair Tax" you just mentioned and see what I think.

    I do continue to support the HC plan though and other legislation to help out the little guy. I'm not saying give hand outs to those who don't deserve it, but there are many people who do work full and still don't make enough to cover all of their costs.

  • the HC plan is terrible. Our health care system is the envy of the world. If we change just a couple things it'll be even better, but these Democrat plans will destroy our lives. 80%+ of doctors oppose it. That has to mean something.

  • While America does typically produce the best doctors, the rest of the world is less than envious of our HC system in general. We spend the most money on HC, yet are ranked 37th in the world. The HC plan needs adjusting, but it is not a terrible idea. We need to decrease wasteful spending and improve the quality of care that is received. As a medical student, I can tell you that 80% of doctors do not oppose the idea of the HC plan. Instead, they have been preaching to us about how it is needed.

  • I agree that many of your ideas would be beneficial for our nation, but there needs to be compromsise. I know all politicians are stubborn, but from my recent experience following the HC plan, the Republicans have typically been the ones refusing to compromise especially since they are in the minority in the house and senate. There definitely needs to be work on both sides of the lines to better the situation for the American people instead of refusing to concede a battle to the opposite party.

  • I also think that we need stricter conditions for welfare/unemployment and tougher laws on drug/unregistered firearms (which are definitely more Republican ideas). I want to see those who deserve help receive it, not just give hand outs to drug addicts and gang bangers. Like I said, compromise is needed. To think that one person or political group has all of the answers is pretty foolish, and people need to open their minds to ideas that are proposed from the opposite party.

  • @jnickle99 One of the mane reasons heathcare in the USA is so expensive is because we don't have tort reform

  • Tort reform does need to be taken into consideration, but it will only save a small portion of money in the big scheme. It is not an end all solution. The bigger problems are:

    1) The high cost of drugs, equipment, and instruments. Those companies are making insane profits on drugs and instruments that do not really cost that much to make.

    2) The biggest problem is preventative medicine. By this, I mean that people cannot afford to pay for necessary prescriptions & doctor visitiations.

  • So, instead of getting the medicine/treatment they need, they go without it. This worsens their condition and leads to more expensive procedures/hospitalizations that could have been prevented in the first place. So, by spending a little money to get people the prescriptions/check-ups they need, we can avoid paying exponentially larger costs for their surgeries/MRI/endoscopies or any other medical procedure that they would need when their small health condition develops into a much larger one.

  • @jnickle99@jnickle99 It cost lots of money to come up with new drugs and it costs lots of money for doctors to get insurance because of lawsuits your wrong The government will just fuck things up more

  • Yes, frivolous lawsuits do add cost to health care, but that is not the main problem. The need for preventative health care is the main concern. It's not about coming up with new drugs. It's about supplying people with already existing drugs. It costs much less to fill someones prescription than it does to perform the surgery or procedure that they will need if they don't get their meds. Ask anyone in the healthcare field, and they can tell you that this is an area where major waste occurs.

  • @jnickle.

    I have spoken to canadians and brits, and they almost unanimously(sp) saw their healthcare systems stink and prefer ours. Canadians come to the USA and pay out of pocket for major surgery.

    Welfare reform. all for it. welfare should be left to churches not gov't, esp not federal gov't. Gun Control...NO WAY. Guns make the gov't nervous, which is a good thing, and keeps the bad guys away.

  • To say that the Dems were the only ones to impede legislation is quite unfair. Both sides are influenced under the table, so it isn't right to make it seem like the Dems are committing all the evils when it is in fact happening on both sides. The bills did take a long time to be drawn up, pass committees, etc. so a month or so to pass the bill, but it wasn't like the Dems had all the time in the world to get it through.

  • @jnickle.

    Their supermajorities make it ALL them. They never allowed Republicans to even enter discussions. There will be NO healthcare bill now...they lost there chance, and too many Dems are scared of voting for it now that polls say 62%+ of public are AGAINST it. So, HC is now gone for them. Hopefully their attempts at making us a new CUBA fail too.

  • As for the HC stuff, I partially agree. It is a fact that when people need serious procedures or operations done they come to America because we have the best doctors and front line technology that there is to offer. So I would say that they may envy the quality of our doctors, but I don't think that our high costs or any other aspect of our HC system in general is anything to envy.

  • @jnickle.

    So...you admit our Healthcare is better than all the rest. You only feel that it is too expensive. That means the Democrat plan to DESTROY our Healthcare system and replace it with Canada's/France's/Cuba's/etc is a TERRIBLE idea. A smaller fix is okay...like what the Repubs offered to control costs.

    The Dem bill will make it cost more.

  • I would say that the Republicans are quick to point fingers, but have not offered viable solutions to fix the situation. The only effective solution they have offered is Tort reform, which will only save some money. Their plans to lower premiums, prevent policy dropping, and HC for pre-existing conditions will actually cost money. The rest of their plan is merely friendly suggestions like promoting healthier lifestyles or offering incentives if people choose to partake. Not much substance there.

  • those plans are the best there is. anything else in unconstitutional. letting customers go across state lines would save the avg family 15-25% immediately. throw in tort reform and savings hit around 30% per family.

    you have to remember our constitution doesn't allow the gov't to interfere like the dems want. let's work within that framework.

  • @jnickle99 It's not the republicans that need to propose the solutions. Obama is the president, and so far everything he has done is a disaster.

  • That is absurd. The Republicans in office are elected officials that are supposed to bring the ideas of their constituents to the table. It is their duty to stand up for the people they represent, and suggest changes or make proposals to benefit the people of America. To have the Republicans in office sit back and do nothing like you have just suggested is extremely unpatriotic and an injustice to the Republican voters. Just because Obama is in office doesn't mean the GOP shouldn't have a voice.

  • @jnickle99

    No what's absurd is, in the worst economy since the depression, repeating the same exact policies that prolonged it. What's absurd is, debating health insurance reform, gays in the military, and closing Gitmo when millions of people are out of work.

    Obama is supposed to be the leader. He has yet to have reach out to anyone. Instead he carries on like a dictator. He will go down as the favorite EX-president in history.

  • You must be mentally challenged.

    1) In case you were sleeping under a rock, this terrible economy is a carry over from the Bush era.

    2) A remedy in the HC system would save money that is desperately needed.

    3) I didn't know it was unacceptable for homosexuals to join the armed forces and serve their country.

    All of Obama's policies might not be great, but to suggest that the Republicans lie down and do nothing is ridiculous. If you think you have all the answers run in 2012 douchebag.

  • @jnickle99 By resorting to name calling, you already lost the argument. You must be the smartest guy on You Tube? Goodbye!

  • That is a great argument. It shows a lot of integrity and intelligence to make ridiculous comments and then not back them up. I hope when we get out of this recession (hopefully sooner rather than later), that you continue to live in poverty because you 'don't think that Republicans should be part of the solution to America's crisis.'

  • @jnickle99 I mean no offense to you, but we cannot ignore how they have been acting obstructionist and unwilling to compromise. I supported the public option and reluctantly accepted the removal of it in hopes that the bill would pass, but republicans aren't willing to work together in the spirit of cooperation and compromise. If you take their proposed plans for health reform to non-partisan independent groups, then you'll see that their math doesn't add up, but only serves as rhetoric.

  • No worries, I actually agree with you 100%. I am an indepedent who has been leaning left. I was just defending the Republican constituents right to be heard & represented since danhaw1213 suggested that the economic crisis is not the Republican's problem since a Dem is in office. I think that both parties have to be part of the solution, and the GOP shouldn't just lie down like he suggested. I agree that the GOP HC reform is a lot of ideas without much substance to improve the current situation.

  • Leftside Liberals and poor people are to ignorant. It's amazing they think taxing the "rich", "the oil companies", "the evil wallstreet execs" is not a tax on the poor and everyone else....Do poor people actually think some Oil baron or Wallstreet exec pays that tax themselves or do they get the money from the consumers including the "poor". DUH. Go back to 3rd grade and learn the math. Tax is a business expense paid for by the businesses consumers

  • Actually, income taxes apply to both corporations and individuals. So, contrary to what you just said, rich execs do in fact pay the taxes themselves. When they give themselves big Christmas bonuses and salary increases, they will in turn have to pay more income tax. These funds are then used by the govt to fund various projects & organizations which benefit the people of America. Let me know if you need any more education on simple political issues.

  • you are naive go get a book on economics if you dont even understand the most basic of things

    the tax,

    it all gets paid past on to the customer/consumer all of us you can not separate one from the other

  • It is true that rich execs pay taxes on their earnings, but the tax rate on their earnings is less than that on the middle class. Warren Buffet, for instance, pays 17% tax on his earnings while his personal secretary pays nearly 30% on her earnings. Instead of a progressive tax system, we actually have a regressive tax system.

  • Oh, and I didn't mean gun control as in taking away the 2nd amendment. I think Americans should have the right to own registered firearms. I meant that there should be stricter prosecution against people carrying unregistered/concealed firearms. Thereby either causing gang bangers to put their guns down or go to jail for a longer period of time.

  • @jnickle.

    unfortunately the Democrat plan is soooo terrible there can be no compromise. And Republicans have done NOTHING to stalemate it. Until Jan 19 Dems had a supermajority in BOTH houses. They could pass a law making Mao Tse Tung our new national hero and Republicans couldn't stop it.

    Democrats stopped it, the got either blackmailed or bribed by OUR tax dollars. That is why the liberal and conservative predictions for 2010 election is for Repubs to retake the House and get 7 senate

  • don't take this the wrong way man, i am not trying to call you out or anything. just hopin you could expand a bit on your statement. if the prez received a bunch of money from the unions you mentioned, what's the harm in that? i would think owing political favors to education, auto, and other middle class unions is better than owing favors to banks, or the tobacco industry, or other more evil organizations. am i missing something? let me know what your take is dude.

  • @ksully0309 that a easy one the unions are bad for the economy believe it or not and make it harder for people to get jobs they kill competition drive prices up and quilty down

    while company's are good for the economy and create jobs I know allot of people in unions trust me there shifty big time good if you in one bad for the rest of the economy but really you don't what nether companies or unions in the government

  • i guess that sort of makes sense. the way i was looking at it is that unions typically represent middle class workers. so it would be better for the average income family/worker to have the president in their pocket rather than some rich executive. so in some ways i can understand your explanation, but i'm still a little stuck on what i just said. oh well, to each his own i guess. thanks for your explanation/input man. much appreciated.

  • Comment removed

  • @ksully0309 the best government is less government all these scumbags democrats and Republicans are there for themselves and there bodies the average guy gets screwed by both sides they will say they are going to tax the rich but it is always the middle class that gets fucked and usually its the Dem's that screw you the most with there lies of free stuff that is never free like healthcare at least the Republicans don't really lie as mush as the Democrat's do

  • agreed sir, i'd like to see the american people have more real say & power in government. it seems like politicians are always looking out for themselves instead of the american people. i know it's a little naive to think that both parties can get along, but everyone needs to work better together. we are all in this shitty situation together, and pointing fingers and bickering has never solved anything. here's hoping we see an improvement in the economy soon. take care man.

  • The UNIONS are not middle-class protectors. They protect the union hierarchy only. Obama recived almost 4 times as much Wall St money as McCain, too. The NEA and AFT are the reasons we have poor performing schools as they prevent merit-pay for good teachers, while protecting bad teachers from firing. UAW is the reason US auto-companies struggle.

  • @moodinator123 Not! The Republicans themselves spoke about how he gained such great strength in monetary backing. This is what it said. Instead of asking how many rich people could donate thousands, he asked EVERYBODY FOR $20. The Republicans are mostly OLDER WEALTHY people who are trying to hang on to their George Bush TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH. The excuse was that they hire people with that money. Well you can see how well he predicted that if you look at our job statistics.

  • wtf did you just say it made no sense

  • @azmildman

    NOT. have already posted about his fund-extorting.

    Obama is a liar and a thief. Tony Rezko GAVE him a $1.2 million property for "considerations"

    GWB's tax cuts went to the middle class. Obama wants to destroy the middle calss. Good ol Hussein Obama (friend of Osama) is completely ignorant, of economics, monetary policy, military policy, ethics, etc.

  • His presidency is result of Democratic Voting system in America. He WON the elections by some FELLOW American votes. Give the man some room. Do you all think Previous Administration's DECISIONS will go away overnight? The answer is NO! So Fellow Americans be patient and let the MAN do his job. Be courteous to him and his administration like SOME FELLOW AAMERICANS did in past administration of Republican Party. The cycle will continue and both will have their shares. We all are FELLOW AMERICANS!

  • Bravo

  • PS stop writing "lol" at stuff you say, it makes you sound stupid.

  • What the f are you talking about?

  • Don't blame me...just shows how government will always fuck up, and then liberals just go to "well it's so hard to get out of this hole that George Bush dug"...yes, we know George bush was a shitty prez; not many plans of his were well thought out at all. This country elects presidents that are so intent on their crazy promises they made to the stupid people that wanted them in the first place they can't even see their country falling apart before their eyes.

  • obango and the Dem's most go away before the economy can get better they are the problem so simple to see

  • but how many fault on things can you really blame on obama and his administration??? there isn´t only one men who can change everything alone, that´s a silly and naiv picture about things going on!

  • The people that voted for 8 years of Bush should be ashamed, the people that voted for this loser should be ashamed, no wonder or country is all fucked up, voters keep choosing losers to run the country. Him, Bush are horrible, face it if you voted for this guy or Bush YOU ARE TO BLAME!

  • obongo will probably go down as the wost president we have ever had

  • nobody can top the 8 years (or the lost century) of Bush!

  • The last time I check when bush was press the jobless rate was on averige only %5 WTF is your problem obongo is a loser and a liar just face it yea just plane bush!!!! That will work for you I'm sure the only thing the dems are good at is handing out welfare checks good luck on growing the economy that way

  • ähmm, wasn´t there something like a world economic crises between bush presents the jobless rate and the actual rate??? so if there is an idea(or there is an superman) to get the jobless rate low during an economic crises, please post!

  • Keynesian economics added nearly 10 yrs of recession to the Great Depression. A good example of a prosperous economic approach was that of Ronald Reagan...After the Carter admin. thrashed our financial stability as a nation, Reaganomics rescued us from the abyss and started an economic rise. This was done by cutting taxes, and wasteful gov spending. Reagan made some questionable decisions militarily, but was a hero of sorts in the area of economic growth.

  • you're all wrong. there is only one-one, and the great empty fills in the space between. if you can empty the bucket, it isn't a bucket. you're all wrong, and so am i.

  • Does anyone ever stop to ask why? Like why would anyone spend more money when there already up to their ears in debt? So what we as concerned citizens of this country should do is figure out this spending budget with accurate figures. I mean if our Senate or House won't keep tabs then we must do it as a whole and be sincere while coming up with the reasons behind the spending. No speculation our finger pointing just numbers. This our country so this is our responsibility.

  • fantastic analysis with this video. Awesome editing and cool use of graphics

  • A year ago, Ralph Nader said "Obama's choice is either to be Uncle Sam for the people of this country, or Uncle Tom for the giant corporations who are running America into the ground".

    Well a year has passed, do we see any of Obama's campaign promises being set on the right course?

    Health care? (universal or single payor?)

    Stopping the war?

    Job creation?

    No.

    The campaing slogan should have been: "YES WE CAN'T !"

  • Barack Obama = The Antichrist

    I don't care. I'll say it.

  • 20 minutes with the president ?

  • the number 1 question was replaced by Youtube! What a fucking joke

  • I really appreciate having such an accessible President. Thanks YouTube for making that happen!

  • We are concerned that the number one question submitted by citizens was ignored.

    Are there more important things going on in the world , yes. Did another twenty five thousand people die of starvation today, yes. BUT the numbers show an increasing trend to deal with this valid issue and get beyond it in a sane and mature society. If one does not have sovereignty over their own consciousness then how can they claim to be truly free.

  • No one is blaming obama for all these problems, they are blaming him for irritating an already crappy situation. How do you get a country out of a recession, introducing a new health care bill that will cost billions of dollars doesn't jump into my mind. I suppose i'm not smart enough to be a democrat, or maybe just not dumb enough
