A President For Our Time: Obama's Weekly Address from the President-Elect

[gratefuldid]

dude,you take suck to a whole nother language.u got to be the most boring mfer ive evr heard.try crack,it works wonders!

[jackercrackbox]

YOu are a disgrace to hippy the world over.

[Rozzrocks666]

This guy should feel like a fool, obama sucks.

[ynnadnnyl]

A President for our times ? !!

You posted this video in nov and it's now June 2009. All the people I know who voted for him are saying "what the hell did I do". I've seen auto workers on tv saying the same thing. He's put our nation so far in the whole he makes George Bush look like Scrooge. He has screwed up mine and your grandkids future. You got your change that he promised. Is this what you expected. It's only going to get worse. You get what you vote for.

[eastwood13]

I wonder if this guy feels like a fool yet...

You have been bamboozled-hoodwinked-led astray!

[FatherJudgement]

You mean his weekly lies....He is an absolute joke as a President...He's grabbing billions by the day from us....

[Jadedbyte]

wow, talk about out of touch.

[ImOfNope]

Hey' who told you' that Barack was having a weekly internet address?

Oaky, who's been going around letting out the secret?

[wilsonpwt]

The fact that Obama "embraces" technology can be seen in all the new legislation designed to further censor the internet and increase federal government spying on citizens.

[wilsonpwt]

Among the top priorities for Obamas Chief Of Staff Rahm Emanuel are: the so called Fairness Doctrine which will severely limit free speech, anti-gun laws and promoting a one world economic system based on a single global currency.

[wilsonpwt]

It is the similarities of the two parties and not the perceived differences which are bankrupting the United States. Whether Democrat or Republican, defense spending will increase. Whether Democrat or Republican, the size of the federal government will increase. Whether Democrat or Republican, multi-national corporate interests will dominate over the common good of man. Whether Democrat or Republican, citizens will continue to lose more freedom and liberty.

[AfroSchmuck]

Hey Paizan, when did you get batshit? 2 weeks into Obama, and he's already lied numerous x. Gave psotions to tax cheats, and he said his admin. would be the most transparent! Remeber what he said about Lobyists? GUESS WHAT, he lied about that too. He lied about the new pork-barrel, earmarked bail out as well. Do you not have eyes to read? Do you not have ears to listen to the facts? Do you not haev a brain... well you don't have to answer that one!

[yo1o2eggs]

I couldn't agree with this video more...Bravo Pres. Obama.

[USAPatriotX]

I got to about 1:30 on this video and blew chunks all over my monitor. Dude, you're smoked. Did you know your champion supports mass murder of the unborn? Oh... nevermind, he's going to bring change we can believe in. Like, today, inauguration day, the stock market tanked 300+ points and oil went up. CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE. Enjoy as your illegal alien president wrecks our country.

[yo1o2eggs]

better than  George "Shit for Brains" Bush.

[AfroSchmuck]

USAPatriot actually listed reasons, unlike you. Comparing the 2 comments is a good example. Your a helpless Obamaite.

[USAPatriotX]

I got to about 1:30 on this video and blew chunks all over my monitor. Dude, you're smoked. Did you know your champion supports mass murder of the unborn?

Enjoy as your illegal alien president wrecks out country.

[HemiHead666]

I think Obama running this country is going to make huge changes for the better. Hes not the typical black low-life thug steriotype we see all the time. And hes not all in your face preachie about black politics. Hes like the perfect black person and this brings hope for our country that other black people will follow his example and strive to be more like him and not like those low-life gangster rappers.

[rsmith629]

Why wouldn't he bring all these people in, they are controlled by the same people. Obama is nothing more than a figure head, they control him by all the dirt they have on him. Just do some research, serious research before you endorse him or anyone else. I appreciate your comments, at least you have the courage to express yourself. Ignore the idiots who post crap, they don't have lives and this makes them feel important putting others down. Best Wishes

[rsmith629]

I think that people who log on and leave messages that label people negatively are ignorant. If you can't leave some constructive comments pro or con then don't show us how stupid you are by leaving insults with no value. That said, you do need to do some homework on Obama and his wife. They have a very big closet. I would start by searching Youtube for negative stories and see what you find. America needs to wake up, dig deeper for what is really going on here.

[Kronick666]

American Idiots LMAO fucking funny

so where is that weekly address haven't seen F all for 3 weeks lmao

[ladyofthemyst]

You are adorable. I loved your video :)

[PhAsEs0487]

Your ahead of most ignorant Americans. Good job!

[pcoelho10]

BORAT II - F*** SICK

[WheresDildoe]

Who is this lady? She sure is ugly!

[whiteymx6]

Its a god damn reveloution. I bet this guy's a NASCAR fan.

[jcwilliams62]

What fucking rock did this rodeo clown crawl from under?

[mobspeak]

what a fanatic

[brentxnew]

I agree.

Still, it's probably a good thing that there is so much positive political energy in the US at the moment.

[BobAcoustic]

Hey don,

your bible quote accurately describes George W Bush.

"Powerful delusion" = WMDs and the need to invade Iraq.

"Those who are perishing" = tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis and US soldiers in an unjust cause.

"The lawless one" = W himself, using "signing statements" to disregard at will laws passed by Congress.

[donjuan1demarco]

you talk alot about bush as though obama is like so above him. let take a look at his relative's (drum roll)George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman and James Madison. lets not forget Cheney also how do you like that senate seat controversy "I didn't talk to the senator" but yet known fact he did hers just a cpl

[donjuan1demarco]

David Axelrod

"I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them."

[artsylin]

when your repub president

got into office I don't comment

slightly negitive things

Leave mine alone

It's really to early to tell anything

[WheresDildoe]

Holy Shit! I hope a dumbass like you doesn't have a voting card.  Where the fuck did you learn to spell?

[AnimalPlanetSFC7]

Jim Barack Jones really got to this guy

"and most importantly I believe he has the best interest of the American PEOPLE in mind. Yes, the people, not corporate officers, not energy providers, not foreign investors, but actually the American people..."

are you SURE about that? With he and his wife both on the council of foreign relations? Plus, I don't personally see his record as one of a true proprieter of change. i think if you tell ppl something over and over, they'll believe it.

[NorCalCorsello]

You certainly may be correct. I am engaging in the concept of "hope." At this point, I respect your opinion and only have this to say.

Only time will tell, and I certainly "hope" that I am right.

[AnimalPlanetSFC7]

'Let me be clear, there is a fundamental difference between our president-elect and the current administration, '

not really

i disagree with your views completely man

[whiteyonwelfare]

Uh. I think Washington will always be the "best" president ever. He's on the fucking 1.

[pskier2]

Awesome video very nicely done advertisement

[donjuan1demarco]

2 Thessalonians 2 9:12

9The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

[dyldvine]

Hey, dumb-fuck! Take your christian bullshit and shove it up your twat!

[ImpulseCloud]

This video mirrors a lot of my thoughts as well. This is going to be an unprecedentedly connected administration. Connected to the people, and transparent. Trickle-up ideas and intelligence will help fix problems we will inevitably face. We will know what's going on, and understand it. The cynics will have to wait to experience what they cannot believe will happen. And they will be impressed, if they have the character to admit their erroneous misgivings.

[DanielHubb360]

Obama must do these things to be different:

1. bankrupt the system before the derivatives bubble swallows the world!

2. Get rid of the Fed reserve, who pocket all of the federal income tax. <----(Fact)

3. Globalization does not work. Lets go back to the "American System" of Economics.

4. Secure our nations sovereignty, and say no to NAU.

I dont think he said anything about these. I dont think he said "How" he was going to do anything...

[jcwilliams62]

"He is much more likely to give the common man the ability to solve the problems this country is slipping into"

Are you funnin me? that responsibilty is never given to the common man, he is picking all of the Clinton re-treads to solve the problems for you...time to wake up and smell the coffee pal and get a grip on reality.

[jcwilliams62]

You people just do not get it, if you are a loser today you will be a loser when Obama leaves office on his way to riches, if you think he is going to take care of all of your needs you are in for a rude awakening.

[ShutterCal]

i dont think he's going to solve all our problems. That's not the president's job. ...but he is much more in touch with the people (and reality for that matter) than our current train wreck of an administration.

He is much more likely to give the common man the ability to solve the problems this country is slipping into.

[jcwilliams62]

You fucking people are living in a dream world.

[hornieharrie]

BYE HATER!!!!!

[herbzilla12]

"You fucking people are living in a dream world. "

Nope.

You are a just a bitter cynical shit eater.

The world does not have to be a fucked up place.

People with hope, people like me, out number people like you.

So fuck off.

[halli321]

Obama is great and I hope he does well as President. Nobody thinks he is a Messiah, despite what the bitter haters would like to think of Obama supporters. We are just happy to have a thinking man as a President and someone who isn't a national fucking embarrassment. Not one Obama supporter believes he is a Messiah, we just respect the guy and are happy to get Dubya out!

[jcwilliams62]

This video goes to show how stupid the Obama voters are..fucking turd

[mrmean1957]

Get used to it! The minority in this country is becoming the majority. About time the greedy self rightous conservatives are falling off their high horses.

[MareIngenii]

spot on.

[hornieharrie]

BYE HATER

[MareIngenii]

"spot on" is typically british english for "totally correct", or "right on". you appear to be a sad example of a stupid but loud YouTube user. the opposite of the Obama attitude.

[hornieharrie]

I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU, I WAS TALKING TO jcwilliams62, READ CAREFULLY.....

[MareIngenii]

"read carefully", like, i guess that's why your comment landed in my comments inbox as a reply. to reply to the wrong comment and then have the nerve yell at a user to read carefully. check the "see all comments" link in your comments inbox to see the tree diagram, in case you never have.

[hornieharrie]

I'M SORRY BRO, I didn't mean to scream at you...you know that there is a lot of haters in this world, and i'm one of them, cause i hate them....and after analyzing all the words that NorCalCorsello said, I did not find any hypocrazy in his words

[mungojelly]

yeah obama's awesome! if we're going to have a 'president', i'm glad we at least have a brilliantly intelligent one, for these crucial years. these next 8 years-- FOUR MORE YEARS! YES WE CAN! o excuse me getting ahead of myself-- are such a tremendous transformation in the nature of humanity. the whole world is about to be connected in real time for the first time ever. we're all sharing our ideas. and our president has a laptop on his desk! he's tuned in to what we're saying! thank god!!

[PaxBrittanica]

There's a sign in the Obama camp which says:

"We don't walk on water"

Be optimistic but realistic.

[gamerchick06]

I agree with you completely.

[SasukeKunDesu]

[Continuation of last comment]

So....after all I've just said, which Obama has also said with his own mouth, where the fuck do you get the suggestion that he's promoting foreign labor? Please point it out or admit your ignorance.

And the only person I might consider "corrupt" is the attorney general he appointed. Other than him, nobody else mentioned has dirty hands. Call them "Washington insiders", but they're experienced and can get the job done.

[SasukeKunDesu]

To mares2327:

What the fuck are you talking about? He says he's going to create 2.5 million new American jobs. Jobs that rebuild roads and bridges and create new hybrid cars of the future. Jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced. And he's going to end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas and give tax credits to those who create jobs here in America.

[crawfordviolin]

Right there with you goth man!

[mares2327]

2.5 million jobs for who? If they aren't for American citizens, but for foreign labor, then the massive unemployment problem here continues. Nor is it taking 'til '11 to create infrastructure jobs a good thing. I'm disappointed by the selection of corrupt insiders for the cabinet. I'm beginning to think that Obama doesn't know what he's doing and we will be scammed by corrupt insider cronies like Emmanual, Richardson, Clinton and Diaz. Definately not change, or anything to believe in.

[jaif4]

Yes indeed, it is a new day and a new Hope, cool.

[starone091705]

I completely agree! It's great!!

[ZTKratos]

I agree with your video. Right on man.

[floridaironclad]

ID-10-T(ango)

[antdog1991]

He is a real black president-elect (Note Harold's Barbeque reference in 60 minutes interview), soon to be president. He is possibly the most intelligent man every elected to this office. He was president of the Havard Law Review, that like the top 1% of the type 1%. That not only shows intelligence, but shows motivation and the ability to relate to people with different ideal. How that relates to being a great president remains to be seen, but he promised Hope, and so far he has delivered.

[tavin15]

Our Ms. Merkel is doing that for about 2 years now. It's boring though ;)

(not your videos, hers)

[Globalpack]

Well I hope you like socialism because that's where we are headed. Obama is a well known left extremest.

Soon his popularity will drop like a hammer and one termer lame duck for sure.

[HemiHead66]

You're a fucking moron. Only a moron would sit around and let Wall Street rip off your life savings and not do a thing about it. None of this probably affects your back-woods ass that's why you don't give a shit. And this dip-shit up here running his mouth doesn't have a clue either. Bush has flushed the country down the toilet and he's complaining about Obama. Two trillion dollars missing in Iraq and nobody says a word. Obama's not even in office yet and he's pissing and moaning.

[nighthawk750]

If it means that our economy gets fixed and our healthcare system and we get off of oil and into some alternative energy and get our roads fixed and get some real public transportation going and you call it socialism, sign me up. You can call it anal-rape and I'd sign up. What you CALL it doesn't matter much to me.

[paweleve]

If you have fallowed politics, than you should know he is not what he presents him self to be.

I wish we had a real black president.

[vanhatt]

"Fallowed"?  "Him self"? Nice spelling.
