February 13, 2009: The Day in 100 Seconds

[ChevKen]

10:25 AM, my grandmother died that morning.

[tedxc0re]

Ha, This was my birthday, and I spent it in County... Glad to see I didn't miss much.

[FugginBarstod]

LOL - This was very good! i like it

[Breakdance118]

dont vote independent your wasting your time

[myxomata]

The democratic and republican parties alike are both full of IDIOTS (with a few obvious exceptions, like kucinich, others) -- but mostly MORONS who don't know what the fuck they are doing. DOWN WITH THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM. VOTE INDEPENDENT NEXT TIME!

[amgalanbator]

Everybody needs to be united for the sake of United States of America and not for the blood of God's creatures.

[amgalanbator]

republicans are afraid and don't want to be in trouble. That is what kills America. Oh, I forgot to mention that when it comes to WAR, all republicans accept the war and stand united. But they are afraid to take the risk to improve the American Economy, instead they are taking the risk to have more bloodshed in Afganistan(97% to support the war in Afganistan thats shame, real shame!!!!!!).

[freakyfarooq]

very true dude!!

[harkinsrule]

After reading some comments I realize that everyone hates everyone else or so it would seem! Dem or GOP, you are all f'd up! You both do the same thing, same old crap just a different pile!

You gotta admit that the mouse & rat thing was a little funny though! LOL

The fate of the world economy has been ensured by the second STUPID bailout package. It only grows the government...the very thing he campaigned against.

OUCH!! to the Dems!!!!

[lg135]

totally tactless.

[KidVolcano]

Drown all devils.

[bitricky]

oh why not deport you dumbfuck? white supremacist like you ought to be banished from this country. our democracy has no need for bigots and douchebags like you. Barack obama ROCKS.

[tergingafdslsdfasdsr]

Smokes rocks.

[1yK3Y4]

wtf this is an important day! why are all the congress seats open?

[hiriumi]

Oh, I fuckin' hate GOP even more now.

[ver506]

Yeah, the GOP sucks!!!!!!

[blacknosugarnocream]

If it's in there then show it to me... SHOW IT TO ME!!

The GOP lies because its supporters rarely, if ever, do any follow-up on their own.

[MooseOfReason]

Anyone want to tell me why the bill wasn't available for 48 hours?

It was released a little after 12:00 a.m. Friday, and they voted on it yesterday around 9:00 a.m.

The bill was 1,000-1,400 pages long. I don't know anyone who could or would want to stay up all night and read all of that.

Is that "change we can believe in"? Is that open and transparent government?

[teron678]

nice editing at 1:45 to 1:47 .. LOL

[lezxotic]

God wasn't with this plane like he was with the other one? Must be a Republican. Jesus Christ.

Doesn't matter if it's a squeaker it PASSED now Repugnicans know how it feels to be disenfranchised.

LOOK DON'T SEND ME ANY COMMENTS, I AM TIRED OF RECEIVING COMMENTS FROM CONSERVATIVE DICKS OR DICKS PERIOD.

DIcK? A.K.A PENIS OKAY, IF YOU HAVE ONE COMMENT SOMEWHERE ELSE I AM NOT INTERESTED! READ MY FUCKING SCREEN NAME AND GET A GODDAMN CLUE.

[lezxotic]

I'm a penis lover? WQith a name like "lezxotic"?

You are just too stupid for words.

[luchamini]

LOL God wasn't with them like he was with the other plane! LOL Hilarious!

[Maziyar]

haha. one of your best episodes. goes from everyone being together, then going to congress and seeing the great battle. good work tmptv......good work.

[princehumperdinck]

OBEY DAVE!!!

[alex3914]

I love these! Great job!!

[MaxPower4us]

They need to remove all Republican Input from this bill and pass it with what the winning party knows will take care of short term and long term growth. We already know the Republicans can only complain with no solution. And Tax cuts are not the solution thats is what they did for 8 hellish years. They suck and we need to not listen anymore we got it "tax cuts and War" thats all you know, now go away!

[quitejaded]

Are you serious? People are complaining because the bill STINKS. Period. Its okay to not have a solution ready when you believe what's about to happen will only make things WORSE.

[volumedealer1]

These should calls these videos "NEWS...FOR THE RETARDED!"

[Richardgwm]

I guess the people on this plane weren't praying. We know prayer works because the people on the Hudson plane prayed, and they lived. But the people on this plane clearly weren't praying otherwise god would have saved them.

[Glargl]

Ow! You hurted my brain! :(

[Ccolebrooked]

49 human beings man. I fucking hate religion, but 49 human beings.

[atiedfly]

agree with you, just acknowledging the idiocy of the statement on the video. evidently by making my own idiotic statement.

[truescorpio14]

well one plane landed safely so they called it a "miracle", this one crashed in a fiery blaze, so i guess the gods or whatever didnt intervene right? This is why im not religious

[KidVolcano]

Maybe the planecrash god overpowered the safe landing god...

[carrierexchange]

The bad news is it's probably going to cost more then that to put the economy back on track.

[FrenchConcrete]

I'm dizzy....that was like strong weed...

[Anonymitism]

That was a good one. MOUSE!

[skyline777]

they dont read the bill? well their staff can and sum it all up for them. this is the american consumers fault for living in debt that was impossible to meet.

[GodKillerAtheist]

LOL the GOP didnt even read the bill HAHA

[3star2nr]

yup. Thats exactly the problem, they keep bitching about the cost then just glance over it find a point here and there that they decide to pick on to overthrow the entire bill.

They dont give a fuck about the bill they just want to be able to say no to it.

The new bill is modified based on a lot of republican input, yet they still dont want to accept the bill.

they piss me off

[brooksaceb]

i know right. that was not cool

[moregravyplease]

This was the best "100 Seconds" so far. It perfectly captures the tone and character of the day.

Holy smokes, Rep. Obey sounds more like he's from MO than WI.

If Shepard Fairey were to make a poster of the face of Rep. Obey with a caption underneath which says, "Obey Obey", I would probably buy one.

[Daritto7117]

GOP PEOPLE SO stupid what happened to party i believed in

[clogger3030]

I'm tired of congress playing grab ass.

[Harrison3377]

admire the work...as always. Thank you

[m1o2r3i4o5n]

I"m so sad for my country how embarrassing

i can only imagen not a single one in there read the bill how sad.

PORK PORK PORK PORK

when my child grows up i hope he wants to work for the government.

Boy i miss the 80's when Madonna was like a virgin /-:

[AJASNA0709]

GOP PEOPLE SO stupid what happened to party i believed in

[Uwiluz60]

Hell...The mice should get their millions...The Rats sure did !

[spencerdev91]

Republicans in Congress are so stupid lol

[KosmicCitizen]

TPMTV should have included mention of 9-11 truther BEVERLY ECKERT - she was a 9-11 widow, who fought for better discloser of what exactly happened. She was on flight 3407 when it crashed - she's with her late husband now. President Obama made special mention of her during the press conference, but this did not find it's way into TMPTV's presentation.

Strange days.

[alby711]

"They (political parties) serve to organize faction; to put in its place, the will of the people, the will of the party; an often small but artful and enterprising minority." - George Washington

What we are witnessing is the epitome of what Mr. Washington so correctly described.

Stop blaming one party over another. BOTH PARTIES ARE TO BLAME!

[supermanky]

And how many world resources (lives, money, future options) have been spent already on Dick Cheney's war with the Middle East?

[dralavant]

SHUT UP ABOUT THE FUCKIN' MOUSE!

[statictwo]

This could go either way, its a risk, but a calculated one, more than you can say about the previous one that went through.. anyone who claims this will ruin or fix USA's economy with any level of certainty should be labeled as ignorant because it is impossible to predict things like this, so please refrain from quick judgements and use your brains to engage in intelligent conversation instead of one liners repeated from your favorite talking heads.

bye.

[alby711]

I somewhat agree with you but lets not kid ourselves. 1,000,000,000,000 of printed or borrowed money that we (if you're 20-25) and our kids will have to pay back will not help us. My beef is with the majority not allowing the minority or anyone to debate any of the legislation. The Republicans had a plan that, according to the CBO, would create (not create/save) 6million jobs and was half the cost. Now that plan never was heard or debated. That's not democratic nor republic.

[monalisasmiles4you]

Republicans' analogies are ridiculous.

That Congress hearing is like watching the peanut gallery.

Jeez.

[nomercyrules10]

I am really fucking sick at those dumbass republicans being so ignorant about scientific research.

[alby711]

What the Republicans are saying is to hear their proposal and debate both so a functional bill can come about. The R proposal btw, according to the CBO, would create (not create/save like this plan) 6million jobs at half the cost. Im sure there are some things they have in there that could be taken out or debated but they never got a chance to do so even in this bill. Im anti-partisan but Im pro debate because thats how good ideas are formed.

[pejovjos000]

lol

[kdogg1000]

this so called stimulus is going to put the nail in the coffin of the us dollar.the greatest depression is coming to the western world,and yes America's huge trade and budget deficits are largely responsible.you are the greatest debtor nation in history.America borrows 3 billion a day from china just to keep afloat.both parties are to blame.just keep inflating and you'll end up like Zimbabwe .

[alby711]

Right on kdogg. Im just so sad for our future because I fear they wont have much of one.

[kdogg1000]

these really are sad times,but through my studying I've came to conclusion that the more money the federal reserve and the treasury prints/borrows to throw at the problem the longer this depression is going to last.RESTITUTION OF THE CONSTITUTION IS THE ONLY SOLUTION

[iamavet]

Not only did a plane crash today, but the Speaker Pelosi's Bill is going to crash America.

A 1929 depression is coming to America this year.

What a mess Pelosi created.

[wavycrockett420]

lets's see...who signs anything into law is the president so bush is the man your after not pelosi...unless you think pelosi had more authority than bush...which wouldn't speak well for the republican party if a democratic speaker of the house has more control over the government than a republican that can veto anything he sees fit.

[iamavet]

Of course a Pres can decided whether to sign a Bill but it is the Congress who creates the Bill. Most of the welfare stuff in this Bill is because of Pelosi and her gang.

While people need help because of the Economy, this Bill is not the place to put welfare amendments. There should be 2 different Bills.

[wavycrockett420]

exactly so im glad you realize that even if pelosi or any one else wrote a bad bill that it was bush who signed it into law so im glad i got you to understand that you can in know way try to say pelosi ruined anything when she doesn't HAVE the last word on anything..bush did like Obama does now....could you define what on the bill is welfare and I could respond....i cant really respond to empty allegations with no details behind it

[CalexanderJ]

Fuck republicans!!!!!

And what the fuck is up with airplanes dropping out of the sky in New York?

[DemineonZ]

omg that shit was so funny

[achampag]

seems like just a big ole waste of paper.

[zndprophet]

know nothing republican dipshits.

liberals need to start gentrifying rural areas instead of inner cities, so we can get these rotting reaganomical corpses out of office.

[thermalfreek]

If David Obey would have thrown that Bill at Mike Simpson, I would have offered myself to work on every campaign of his for the rest of his life in politics!!!

[voyeurdug]

They're fixated on fictitious animals: mouseses, Mavericks, lipstick-wearing pit-bulls. Guess that makes them Pluto-crats.

[laughinacorner]

what were the repubs talking about when they said we were giving 30 million to mouse/rats?

[buffalosouljah18]

I think they were talking about lab rats for experimentation.

[ClassicFIHD]

laughinacorner

Slight exaduration.

Follow the dots

Dot#1 Senate "Compromise" 2/7, Page 70: 50 million dollars go to activities authorized by the California Bay-Delta Restoration Act.

Dot#2 California Bay-Delta Restoration Act states there are 750 plant and animal species, some listed as threatened or endangered in California.

DOT#3 the Government's Department of Fish and Game of endangered species covering California says the Salt-Marsh Harvest Mouse is an endangered species.

[zndprophet]

"God wasn't with this plane the way he was with the other one."

Is it just me-or was that one of the stupidest quotes ever?

[andid]

No, it just shows the ridiculousness of attributing the first plane's success to God. If we attribute that to God, we have to attribute this to God...and then you sound stupid.

[Starrz88]

That's exactly what I was thinking. What an akward thing to say on Bloomberg's part

[zndprophet]

well i didnt say why it was stupid, i figured you already knew-which you did.

[truescorpio14]

Think it perfectly sums up the idea that people give God all the credit when things go good and just shrug thier shoulders when things dont work out, If the hudson landing was a miracle IE divine intervention why didnt god intervene for this plane? Guess he thought they deserved to die eh? oh nm i know God works in mysterious ways rofl

[zndprophet]

Yeah, exactly, and it's dumb no matter what perspective you look at it from-either as a non believer or a believer, I think.

[spikesmth]

It reminds me of how a real government is supposed to work... anyone ever seen British Parliament meetings with the PM! OMG they yell at eachother and rabble rabble the crowd and boos and cheers... it's actually exciting.

[MVX12]

FUCK REPUBLICANS!!!!

[hollygolightly66]

Good on ya David Obey. It's despicable how the Republicans cynically make up these lies about the bill and blab them to the media.

[sachaput]

Let's continue to appeal to that shrinking base, GOP!

Watch them all scramble for credit when things begin to turn around.

[pejovjos000]

Love to see those feisty democrats.

They need to continue like that

[MVX12]

No kidding.

but still Republicans need to shut their useless mouths.

[bootme21]

both sides are representatives of the financial elites. They don't represent us.

[motherroot]

ccc

[dgleason2]

anyone seen the list of dems who voted against it????

bidens next hitlist??? lmao
