  • There are MANY VARIETIES of socialism. Some socialists TOLERATE capitalism, as long as the government maintains the dominant influence over the economy(like dominance over swindling banks, car manufacturers, any companies abusing the environment, any companies abusing employee rights, pharmaceutical companies, real estate agency vulgarizing the foreclosed home market, etc.);others insist on an abolition of private enterprise.(Other not like Obama)

  • All communists are socialists, BUT NOT ALL SOCIALISTS ARE COMMUNIST.( Like Bernie Sanders, the socialist democratic governor of Vermont. I heard it's cozy up there.) Now does socialism sound so scary?

  • hes a real smooth talker but thats about all he is he rammed this health care bill down our throtes all the while telling us oh its ok this is to help you when really its just the first step toward socialism.

  • obama is basically a failed version of Hitler

  • @kelloggcerealxoxo care to elaborate on that?

  • @Jonoku I don't even remember typing that.

  • @kelloggcerealxoxo -_- *sigh*

  • Let's compare the amount of Canadian bank failures to American bank failures. Have a nice day.

  • If the buck stops with him...does this mean he will personally pay back the deficit if his plans don't work ?

  • this sounds like him using this thing to grab away some more civil liberties. "Tools" ???? The constitution didnt give you the tools to get us in this mess! Obama is just like BUSH or worse! WOW.

  • This guy is full of crap.

  • yet your lovely president Bush wasn't? At least Obama is trying to fix this mess and owns up to it, your shitty little bush was too busy with his thumb up his ass working on a war that only cost us both money AND lives. Think about your retort carefully my friend, I swear to all that's holy I will not make it lovely for you.

  • What do they say about assumptions? Bush is just as bad.

    Here's my retort, though even though Bush is a Fascist. How do you like how Obama is sending 1.8 billion dollars to Afghanistan just to help out their economy? How you like that he is send 4,000 more troops to help? Did he say something about bringing the troops how from Iraq? Oh! But he never said other places of the Earth where we are going to start war ... did he?

    Full of crap.

  • Getting a little tired of your teleprompters lip service and lame excuses there buddy.

  • another fag republican bitching. Why don't you go suck on bush's cock a little more and whine to Cheney.

  • There you have it folks. This comment is representative of the average mental acuity of Obama Moonbats. Aren't you proud?

  • Now, can we "claw back" some of the compensation that Obama, Dodd, etc. receive, when they fail in their job to represent the best interest of the American citizens. Or how about taxing the campaign contributions they received from these failed companies at 90%!

  • Is this the change that we can believe in. Sounds like Washington business as usual.

  • Cant wait to see what happens when America is attacked by the Arabs that Obama is befriending?

    We are becoming a weak,imoral country

  • This AIG faux pas is a clear sign that Obambi will be a 1 term EPIC FAIL and will get PWNED by Sarah Palin in 2012. Palin will become America's GREATEST POTUS of ALL TIMES because she is GOD's CHOSEN ONE, GOD INCARNATE and the LIVING EMBODIMENT OF GOD HERSELF. She will put ALL MALE POTUS to SHAME for they are ALL HER DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCHES and PUSSIES! She will usher in Palinomics for only it has the power to save the world economy from a global depression and has the POWER OF GOD HERSELF!

  • Just quite FUCKING trading with china, mexico and other overseas companies..Bring the american jobs back to usa..Oh no, I remember now..we are so freaking far into debt with China that we are compeled to do business with them..Everything we buy now comes from overseas...OUr businesses would not be in this shape if we started bring jobs back home.( please excuse any misspellings.LOL)

    Kim/NC

  • Obama's out of control. Like a lottery winning sex addict in a whore house

  • OBAMA is a TALKER.

  • He always blames somebody else. Does he understand that failed companies must go out of business?

    He knows how to manipulate and brainwash people uneducated people. I am proud of myself I did not vote for Obama.

  • If you live in Missouri or Illinois tune your radio to 97.1 FM talk radio. This keeps you up on whats going on with our government.

  • watch?v=TsNZSzwPxU0

  • I Like what u Wrote Historico69---Imagine Peopple If That Death Drone Anitichrist Mc Cain --got In The Country--Would Be Scewed 30 Ways from Sunday--HaHaHa---Old Potergezzer--LoL

  • YES SIR---F*** AIG

  • Yea the AIG buck stopped right in his pocket. Actually, it was more like $100,000 in AIG campaign donations that stopped with him. Why can't the sheeple see through this phony?

  • Hey rwealluseless, Really it was Wilson?

    You don't think the start of this crises is linked to the mass deregulation of wall street? Sorry I have to correct you. The bread crumbs end up at the feet of Ronald Reagan...The Man who sold the world.

  • BLAA...BLAA...BLAA...BLAA!

    Your EVIL spell doesn't work anymore Barry! The voting Obama drones are awake now!

  • I voted for Obama, I make 125k a year, I am 23, I am not a drone, sir.

    Evil spell? What the fuck are you talking about.

    Seriously.

    You sound like a 12th century witch hunter and that scares the living shit out of me... how can you be serious? how?

    where do you live? what do you do with your life? how old are you?

    How are you so veiled to the rest of the universe is beyond me.

  • Obama is becoming less and less cool to me

  • Why is that?

  • Haha no one knows how to fix this as something like this has never happened before. Do you know what's next in winter '09 and 2010? All the people who got Adjustable Rate Mortgage(ARM) loans are going to start being foreclosed on! How many people have ARMs? At least as many as had sub-primes in not more, meaning we haven't seen half of what's to come yet.

    It may be in the next few years or in 15, but we as a country are going to fall HARD and much of the world with us.

  • The message Bush left Obama on his desk.... " Hehe good luck cleanin this shit up...hehehe

  • Some people on here need to read up on the issues before making uneducated comments on them. It's common knowledge that politicians like Barney Frank had their hand in the credit crisis.

  • Woodrow Wilson was the dumb fuck that allowed the Fed to be created,

    and Wilson was a democrat...

  • Wilson sold this country to the banks, BUT lets not forget who controlled those banks and who control's them now.

    BTW I don't know who control's this failed banks... can you tell me?

    And can you tell me their political inclination?

  • obama's full of shit

  • The republicans are the ones who create this Franken stain like economy, stupid Obama is just trying to keep it alive, because if it dies, America dies.

    We are addicted to this capitalist system, where anything goes, and only the rich get richer and the poor or middle class struggles a life time just to live decently.

    It sad but it is the truth.

    I hate Obama, because he is a coward who wont expose the republican party for what it really is, a protection racket for corporate America.

  • Republicans created this??? I don't think you have a clue of what your talking about. You obviously don't know the history of the credit crises.

  • Well if I don't know the history, can you teach me?

    Who are the responsible ones for this credit system that has failed?

    And who are the one responsible, not for this economic failure but for deceiving people into believing that what they know about capitalism is the truth.

    Please illustrate me, because my lack of knowledge prevents me from believing the main stream media.

    If you don't comment beck, Its OK..... I will know why....

  • Well I appreciate your desire for objectivity. The origins of this problem began with president Carter in his CRA act (community reinvestment act). But, the program actually was doing ok until Clinton incouraged the banks to be flooded with bad loans to people who had no intention or ability in paying them back. Now Bush is hardly Republican, he is almost as much a fiscal socialist as Obama and did little to stop these bad loans, he suggestion the negative effect of this in 1995, but was...

  • ...jeered at by the Democrats i,e, Barny Frank and company. The irony is this, Obama loves to say "we have been doing it their way for the last eight years, and now it's time for change," but as far fiscal policies Bush and Obama are nearly identical, Obama is just taking it to a new level. The fiscal policies that made this country wealthy are conservative/libertarian, the further we get from this the more we will dig ourselves into a hole.

  • (correction) It was in 2002 Bush warned of the negative effects of the bad loans. It was 1995 when Clinton implemented them.

  • Thanks!, but who control's this failed banks... can you tell me?

    And can you tell me their political inclination?

    And why is it that conservatives rather listen to people Rush who supports big corporations, than to guys like Ron Paul, who clearly make more sense?

    I believe in the conservative/libertarian way, but it seems like most of the so called conservatives all they want is a fascist like country.

  • Hmm, I don't think Ron Paul has a problem with big corporations, big corporations arn't the problem as I see it. The problem is the non-transparency in the system, nobody wants to say what they have and what they don't know of conservatives that have policies which are fascist, except for Bush and his patriot act is getting close to it, btw this is something Obama said he would throw out, but now likes it. Anyway democrats are far more fascist, they love the government involved in every corner.

  • Three republican senators introduced the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act in 99, It repealed key provisions of the Glass-Steagal Act of 33, which put limitations on banks and investment institutions ability to leverage, and put a wall in between these institutions so that banks could not be destabilized by the erratic nature of the securities markets.

  • agreed BUT dont forget about this false left-right paradimn. democrats are guilty too

  • OMG! He's black, super! THANKS FOR ASKING!

  • AIG IS NOTHING BUT A WHITE HOUSE DISTRACTION!!

    The FED announced it is buying over a trillion dollars of our Debt while everyone was focused on AIG!

    This is the END of our DOLLAR! ITS DONE GAME OVER!!

    Its value is dropping rapidly each day while Gold goes up.

    This could trigger hyper inflation and a new currency!

  • Dont sell ur gold to Cash4Scam. i mean cash4gold....

  • Ok great... I feel better already.

  • He's responsible, just not accountable.

    Just words... "make sure we never put ourselves in this kind of position again". It's only been 2 months & there seems to be a new scandal exposed in this administration daily.

  • I am so sick of Obama trying to look like other presidents, first its FDR, then its Lincoln, then JFK, now with this comment,; "the buck stops here" Truman. Apparently, this guy can't come up with any original material. And the way he uses teleprompters..... like with the Irish rep.... you might as well put a Charlie McCarthy doll up there, what is the difference?

  • "Obama: The AIG Buck"

    Don't you think that's a little racist, TPMTV?

  • you must be joking

  • what does that mean? I'm responsible...how are u going to "take responsibility" ? What does that look like? Hey Bo...here's a good one since Bush can't be blamed..I know ...it really is the teleprompter's fault...!!!

  • GEITHNER ADMITS TREASURY

    PUSHED FOR BONUS LOOPHOLE

    Tax On Bonuses Passes House: Pelosi: "...We Want Our Money Back Now For The Taxpayers"... Fed Failed To Tell Obama About Bonuses... Dodd: Treasury Insisted On Weakening Bonus Provision... AIG CEO Liddy: Some Employees Have Agreed To Return Bonus Money... Obama On AIG Bonuses: "I'll Take Responsibility"...

    This Hope & change is worst than BOOSH...

  • Obama and congress created this problem!!

  • Mr. President your b.s. fails, take your lies elsewhere!

  • Blame Game: Dodd Says Treasury Forced Him to Add Bonus Provision to Stimulus Package. Link to this article is on the left side of my channel.

  • THE BS STOPS WITH OBAMA - smooth talker

    grumpherys: Obama did not turn over his 'certified' true birth certificate. 100 military personnel filed suit in March, they don't believe Obama is eligible to be their commanding officer. He avoids turning over the real certificate because the constitution protects his right to privacy. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IN THE HELL THIS SO CALL PRESIDENT WAS EVEN BORN AND WHAT TRUE NATIONALITY HE IS. And, he left IL with a 11.5B$ deficit. He's spending trillions !!!

  • HIS Grandfather is a Vet of WWll AMERICAN, not good enough for you.? or what?

  • Actually, my grandfather was a Navel Aerospace Commanding Engineer - Federal. He reported to Presidents all his career. Admirals & General reported to him. My Dad retired Air Force. I was born on an AF base. My mother an aerospace engineer retired McDonnell Douglas executive St. Louis, MO.

    Obama's had NO relatives in military services. Obama is a disgrace to America and a smoke screen liar. He left IL in a 11.5 B$ mess, the new Gov is left to clean up. It's been all over WGN news.

  • He isn't responsible for the budget problems of Ill., he was only a state senator there for a couple years, where he had little control over it.

  • my fellow americans say goodbye to land ownership say thanks to the united states senate

  • Polling data show that Mr. Obama's approval rating is dropping and is below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001.

    Overall, Rasmussen Reports shows a 56%-43% approval, with a third strongly disapproving of the president's performance...OUCH!!!!

  • fuck polling

    nobody asked me

    you cant trust that bullshit

  • b.s.

  • You didn't write the contracts for AIG, but you signed TARP legislation that was/is filled with loopholes. I read the bill when it came out. It's horrible. Obama is full of %$#@. I voted for him only because... well, you know, what choice did I have? Ron Paul and Kucinich supports need to team up.

  • Obama lies again; he doesn't give a shit about America as a people.

  • loser

  • Obama is now a known and certified liar.

    If you believe anything he tells you, you are officially brain dead.

  • The Buck stops with the privately owned Federal Reserve System. Period!!!

    Timmy is not Americas friend. He worked for the people that are looting the American people!

    America Wake up!

  • Go Obama. Finally regulation

  • BWAHAHAHAHAAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAA­AA!

    No one is listening to you read your teleprompter.

    Why don't you go on Jay Leno or something?

  • seriously, how stupid does he think americas are

  • Obama's Admin changed the bonuses so AIG could get them - this is a dog and pony show folks

    but who cares the real deal is the Gov taking your money and giving it to a failing company

    This is not a democracy, who knows what it is

    let's find out LET THE BANKS AND AIG FAIL

    AUDIT the FEDS

    HR 1207

  • AIG is playing "chicken" with the US gov't and saying, "Fine, we'll fall and ruin the country" and essentially daring the gov't to take away the bonuses. It's extortion and could be treasonous!!

  • WDF R We saving Corporations in America?! Did you know that number of millionares in the economic Recession soared while the average American suffered? Its true PPL Look it up if you don't believe it.

  • AIG has Obama by the balls.

    AIG CEO said I will ask for people to return the bonuses, but didn't say they would.

    Whats worse is Obama's solution to take out 167Million out of the second bailout to AIG. Yeah thanks PAL.

    Poor Geithner he is so overwhelmed -LOL.

  • F. U. C. K. U.  O. B. A. M. A.

  • They should pay the workers what they are due. They worked for that money, that's how the system works. Pay them.

  • "he is making all the right moves" huh??

    i think obama has moved on from smoking joints to smoking crack, maybe worse

    can we get a random blood test on obama since we're his employer?

  • If you don't prepare for hyperinflation now, you will be broke soon. Check out: Inflation . us

  • Who thinks we should have voted for Hillary ?

    With Obama's;

    Previous drugs

    Not turning over a certified birth certificate

    Leaving IL in 11.5B$ debt

    All this spending

    An attorney for Toxic Mold Slum Lords in IL

    Mess with ACORN

    Seem's NOTHING he's done ends on a positive note.

  • Not her either.

    Don't blame me I voted Chuck Baldwin.

  • What a toad

  • shut up bend over im your master now

  • We should hold the head of AIG accountable. Who owns 80%? Who gave all the money and failed 2 oversee? The liberals. Yes, enabeler Bush AND socialist Obama. Both enablers. I am sick of Obama and team refering to AIG as if it were some detached unit. YOU bought it libs. Just like you will buy the auto industry and show how to make autos effectively also? NOT! You libs cannot even take care of your own VA admin, let alone a whole heathcare system or an actual business. PLEASE, give me break.

  • I don't trust Tim Geithner. I say we go "18th century French Revolution" on the CEOs and their enablers!!!

  • This man is a bald faced liar.

  • A lying politician, nooooooo?

  • Barney frank: We will also be asking Mr. Liddy to give us the names of the recipients.  They have sent us some information under the confidentiality rules. I've spoken to Chairman Kanjorski about this. If Mr. Liddy declines to give us the names, then I will convene the committee to vote a subpoena for the names. So we do intend to use our power to get the names of the people here.

    What about federal privacy act laws Mr. frank?

  • The AIG employees receiving bonus checks from AIG deserve this money. They did nothing illegal under the contracts they entered into and these are legal binding agreements. You may have contempt for the money they are receiving but so be it. These funds where provided under an Obama Bill. If you voted McCain I am sorry. If you voted Obama this is what you get, Hope & Change.

    If the Yankees do not make the playoffs or World Series does A-Rod give his money back to Steinbrenner?

  • @dkkght:

    These are performance bonuses, not regular salary. No one is saying to strip these people of their salaries, but to hand out perfomance bonuses to a company that went bankrupt in lunacy.

    A-Rod has a yearly salary that he is paid whether he plays 0 games or 162. He also has in his contract perfomance bonuses. If he doesn't reach the statistics needed for those bonuses to kick in then he does not get them. Plain and simple.

  • If you listen to what Obama says at the end, I don't think he has any idea on what he is doing. With a bad hand you FOLD! E.g. NO BAILOUT.

    Well, actually come to think of it, I wouldn't fold a hand even if it's bad if I am playing with other people's money E.g. tax payer's money.

  • Obama's administration was part of it!

  • The TOP TEN recipients of AIG donations for the 2008 election cycle: ------------ Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Connecticut: $103,100 Barack Obama:: $101,332 Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona: $59,499 Hillary Clinton: $35,965 Sen. Max Baucus, D-Montana: $24,750 Mitt Romney: $20,850 Joe Biden: $19,975 Rep. John Larson, D-Connecticut: $19,750 Sen. John Sununu, R-New Hampshire: $18,500 Rudy Giuliani: $13,200 Sources: FN, CNN and AIG
  • Yeah and...Obama and Dodd hit the near top. Figures.

  • Why did we put so much economic pressure on AIG, why would the economy crash if they did not bail out AIG?

  • The money we are giving to AIG is going to Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Bank of America, etc., etc. AIG is paying out insurance on "Credit Default Swaps" to the banks.

    The banks are using that money to pay off private hedge funds, many of them of the same type as Bernie Madoff's.

    This is a historic crime and financial swindle of proportions you can't even imagine. We are directly paying off rich foreigners for fraudulent "derivatives".

  • so who drafted the contracts? Bernanke?

    :( this whole thing makes me sick.

  • Timothy Geithner=Alexander Hamilton?

    Too bad for America that Hamilton's Monarchical ideas about government and national banking were pushed passed the revolutionaries and into policy.

    Andrew Jackson got rid of national banks- maybe we can too!? But it's highly doubtful under Owebama and Geithner, as Owebama just pointed out.

  • i agree w/ yr read that Hamilton was an intellectual forebear of the ppl who are part of the problem today.

    But Andrew Jackson is hardly a model of what we need to lead us out of the weeds. We've just had 8 yrs of 'yeehaw' as our national politics...it lead to a whole lot of needlessly dead people and now a crashing world economy.

    More like Eugene Debs. Or maybe Joe Hill.

  • I'm not suggesting Andrew Jackson is a role model of anything- the end result is the desired goal. It did happen, the banks were abolished (briefly) and it was because of Jackson, period. Also, I never said a word about Boosh, nor would I EVER point to his 8 years for anything positive.

    Clearly, my point was, that nothing about the lying, con-artistry of Owebama's adminstration or administrators will do anything but EMPOWER the Hamiltonian set.

  • :-)

  • One good thing came of it all- Aaron Burr shot the bugger dead!

  • Obama is no better than Dubya Bush.Stealing as much money as possible,there has been no CHANGE

  • ok stevie wonder...someones blind or wants to be blind

  • Wow, the President of the United States taking full responsibility?  Times certainly HAVE changed!

  • Well, Obama is an adult.

  • the entire video is about 14 minutes. anybody know where I can find it?

  • it's on MSNBC

  • A = Arrogance

    I = Incompetence

    G = Greed

    We will get these 165 mil. back, you sociopathic fukken bastards.

  • Now now , I know you are upset but they are just businessmen being businessmen. They are only doing what the government allows them to do.

    Just think if the former admin and new admin would have let them fail this would not even be a story.

  • Please don't allow facts to get in the way of your moronic posts.

  • that top ten list is false, don't recopy it.

  • The top ten list is false? Go check it for yourself: Google "cnn aigs political donations"!!!!

  • Plug your ears and run away screaming.

  • Counterfeiting money won't solve the various problems, its going to create more.

    What are you going to say when the US dollar goes to zero value ? Its going to be total complete chaos.

    Show us your long version of your birth certificate Mr. prezie.

  • Ok so one of the fellows that voted YES on Bail-out v1.0 is saying "no one here is responsible for this"?

    Damn it I knew the Prez could get all the pot he could stand and this fellow proves it.

    He ain't no Teddy Roosevelt, but thank God for that at least.

  • ITS NOT THAT COMPLICATED BARACK. Take the fucking money back and don't let these banker criminals control you.

  • Magik - Najlepszy Polski MC

  • You don't 'play a bad hand'. You fold a bad hand. Probably too late for that now, but the government getting involved at all was the first mistake.

  • This is B.S., congress took out the measure that would have supremely limited these bonuses in the TARP legislation. Everyone knew it too... Obama, Reid, the republicans. And then they perform these political theatrics laced with manufactured outrage. I supported Obama for President and would like to keep supporting him. It seems though, that he does not respect our intelligence. It's becoming more and more apparent that Obama is also in bed with big business.

  • Do you think he will return 101,332 he received from AIG in campaign contributions?

  • Only if the republicans that took money from AIG do as well, I would imagine.

    BONG!

  • Thanks for posting.

  • I sent the information about AIG financial involvement in the ´08 election for ONE reason: None of the conservative and liberal Senate/House members has the moral authority to blame the other Party for the AIG scandal!!!

  • Nope not hard at all just as you have proven, TY. :-)

  • I hope you will be careful next time. ´Cause both Republicans and Democrats are involved in this scandal. EQUALLY!!!

  • Sorry about that and I will, you are 100% correct the right is no better than the left almost all of them are guilty.

  • I recall ONLY one politician that clearly said in the ´08 presidential elections the AIG bastards should be fired. I did NOT vote for him (read my profile for explanation) but we have to give him credit for that. His name: Barack Obama. Here is the evidence: watch?v=X-oREoJ9FTM

  • Very good, it is easy to complain about something after the fact. He took the money, actions speak louder than words.

  • He took campaign donations from AIG in 2008 BEFORE TARP WAS CREATED.

    The contracts in question were created under the Bush administration, with Hank Paulson clearly not giving a shit about bonuses. Go ahead and somehow blame Geithner as the "architect" of the AIG bailout even though Bernanke is the chairman of the Federal Reserve.

  • Also a correction both Barr and Baldwin were against the bailouts from the start.

    And as far as I can tell neither one received any moneys from AIG.

  • nice job making up figures, doesnt mean they are true though.

  • I am NOT asking you to trust me. I am just asking you to check the numbers. Is that so hard to do? If you cannot do that, you are either dumb or a natural born moron!!!

  • if they are correct, you show me that the numbers are real and didnt come out your ass and we'll go from there.

  • AGAIN: The numbers are from FN, CNN and AIG. I named these sources in my first comment. So where is the problem? Are you too lazy to go to these sources and check the information? There must be something wrong with you, if you cannot do that.

  • Go to google and search for "American International Group: All Recipients". This will lead you to the numbers I am talking about. If you need more evidence, just let me know.

  • You are a retard and a fundamental problem with our country, thanks dickhead.

    Sorry retards didn't mean to lump you in with this f#$kstick!

  • he can if he wants to, im sure 100,000 dollars is nothing to him but he has better things to worry about than 100grand, thats a drop in the bucket. do u think bernie madoff is giving every penny he recieved back to the rightful owners?, i would assume not.

  • AMEN BROTHER! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

  • Are you comparing Maidoff to Obama, That's a bit of a stretch but sure I will go along with that.

  • "Do you think he will return 101,332 he received from AIG in campaign contributions?"

    He received $101K from AIG EMPLOYEES, not AIG. There is a difference. Not a huge difference, I'll grant you, but a significant one.

  • For the love of god, just stop giving money to the AIG assholes.

  • abolish the federal reserve obama. You know you want to.

  • Hell yeah!

  • ABOLISH THE FED

  • Wow. He's kicking arse like Biden.

  • It's time to kick ass and chew gum but he's all out of gum!

  • He know so much about history. I hope he's making the right decisions.
