[Ballheat7]

Obama spent decades of his life (living paycheck to paycheck) spending ALL of his time and effort to organize some of the poorest inner-city neighborhoods in order to improve their schools, opportunities, and quality of life. However, lots of people in the USA who like to believe everything they hear on major news stations jump on the bandwagon and hate on Obama for NO REASON. Just because the TV says Obama isn't doing anything, doesn't mean its true. Compare him to our previous president.

[iamsupaman420]

@Ballheat7 Obama has raised the U.S.'s national debt by +$1.116 trillion a year More than Bush Jr. ever did, and Jr. had set a new debt record after his presidency ended. How's that for a comparison?

[AwwreadyBlackstock]

@iamsupaman420 thats because obama isnt a capitalist...he does need to do somethin to be better tho...

[SummertimeOne]

I love this song, but yeah, I was telling people NOTHING WOULD CHANGE WITH OBAMA - BEFORE THE ELECTION!!! I was in the US campaigning for Roger Calero and the Socialist Workers Party in the summer of 2007 yaooowwwaaaaa!!!

[SummertimeOne]

Eugene Debs - respect. Dude got one million votes from PRISON.

[billslover90]

bush got us into this mess, why is everyone against obama. bush took away our freedom with the patriot act and no fly list and now has us stuck in iraq

[Scratch5555]

@billslover90 we're against obama, simply because he's been in office for a year...and NOTHING has changed.

[6996k09669]

hustleGRL: why am i licking my lips? at 0:12

obama ain't no president he's a puppet for illuminati fuck all you who think it's a joke

[wackzack369]

@DopeKiddo10 EVERY president is a puppet...lol

[DopeKiddo10]

@wackzack369 george washington and jfk weren't . . .

[iwillflagurvids]

@DopeKiddo10 George Washington was a masonic slave owner, JFK caused the Cuban missile crisis, Obama is a fucking joke. There was no honest president. The president is a mask, and democracy is a lie, open your eyes.

[DopeKiddo10]

@iwillflagurvids jfk was bearly in charge if you heard his conspiracy speech

[iwillflagurvids]

@DopeKiddo10 Who wants to take credit for the CMC, of course he is going to say he was barely in charge, OPEN YOUR EYES

[DopeKiddo10]

@iwillflagurvids by the way , the president,and elections aren't shit they're just there to make us think we have freedom of speech or we have a choice but we don't jfk and all the other fagget presidents haven't done shit .

[iwillflagurvids]

@DopeKiddo10 Thats what Ive been saying.

[DopeKiddo10]

@iwillflagurvids then why are we arguin we got the same view?

[iwillflagurvids]

[urgeniuss]

@bi0neks its not a "conspiracy" its true. presidents can't do shit they're being controlled too. they pick a person they wanna put as president and once they choose one no one can stop them(al gore got robbed against bush when he won) they knew that dumbfucks would ride the whole " time for a change" "first black president" shit and just goes to show you america is fucking stupid. so while some of you hate the illuminati/conspiracy shit on youtube, its actually waking people the FUCK UP!

[vinceblake76]

Joel Ortiz did his thang. Big ups to my boi Dante Hawkins of Da Roc Crew is making it happen. I remember I use to do background vocals for dis kat when we use to roll with Jodeci back in Dajhelon Studios. Da Roc, NY is in da building

[sekamenacerecords]

joell is an ill lyricist but obama works for the same people that bush worked for they aint no different

[lookbehindtheveil]

GREAT song Mr. Ortiz.. I really feel it. But don't you feel a bit disappointed in Obama so far?? I'd like to hear a song about that.

[tuliocoolioshmoolio]

1:59 its YAOWA

[coquienorlando]

I truly hope that President Obama opened up this letter and hears what our ghettos have been crying out for f or so long. I hope thatb the next letter Joell Ortiz writes is about how far along have we come and that there is truly a chage in our ghettos

[selfmaderican]

[wilthefinisher]

Joell Ortiz brings Hip Hop Back. New York Rappers were always trendsetters, We set the toned others followed. It bothers me when the east coast tries that west coast shit. That's their thang we have our own.

[mcshobe2008]

[bigdud12345]

fuck obama thats wat hes sayin

[MrToody]

learn to listen

[bigdud12345]

open ur eyes obama doesnt care about the people he is illuminati

[thecatfish111]

ur retarded this video was made before the election and hes sayin that he needs Obama to win so that he can solve the problems in the hood. Did you even listen to the song? "Its time for a change / and that change is Obama"

[bigdud12345]

if u all saw the truth that obama is a terrorist and a communist

[BryaNNNNN456]

I love all that Republican / Conservative bullshit....

If Obama was for communism then why is he trying to raise minimum wage so that the playing field is more even.

Did you know that as of 2004 the top 1% of the wealthiest people in American control 35% percent of the money. The top 20% control 85% of the money. This leaves 15% for the bottom 80%. This rich is gradually increasing and the poor is decreasing, until recently.

We are in the top 5 of the most inequal wealth distribution...

[BryaNNNNN456]

Okay. I can tell you to quit being a dumbass and quit being a conspiracy theorist. Paranoid faggot.

I wouldn't have chosen Obama as a president if i got to pick from a wider selection, but it was either him or Mccain. And if you say you wanted mccain then you are either rich, or a dumbass, or both.

[bigdud12345]

i just dont want my life to be control like its north korea

[Ston3d42O]

i agree why the fuck would anyone thumbs down that comment

[howhardgerrard]

Yeah thats right because the US goverment isnt controlling anyone!!

[Ston3d42O]

are you joking? poverty is at worse than ever before.. 1 in 6 americans are in poverty right now...

[pusher1012000]

how can hip hop be dead if wu tang is forever?

[ninet9shifty]

DAAAAAAAAMN HIS GOOOD

[upLIF]

The drugs is the CIA's problem for bringin em in. The poverty is the governments problem for letting the federal reserve make people poor through fake money, and the violence comes with that. If obama shut down the federal reserve and the CIA everything would be better overnight, JFK tried to do those things and we all know how that turned out

[NOCDIB]

Even if the CIA bring it in nobody puts a gun to your head and tells you to use them and sell them. As far as printing worthless money, that affects everyone regardless of race or social status. That paper doesnt have less of a value in the US but in the world economy it is garbage.

But you are right. If Obama tries to change too much the power that be would "make sure it wont happen"

[upLIF]

its too bad that obama is selling us down the river.

[xxxexcelxxx]

He aint selling no one out the mistakes that were made to this nation isnt going to be fixed overnight. stay focused and help those in need instead of complaining about shit.

[upLIF]

yah but the "mistakes" were done purposley, and he is working for the same interests. New world order here we come, global slavery with a taste of global genocide after. But what do we expect hes from a royal family and is cousins with dick cheney, the bushes, john kerry etc. Got to have the right blood to be the actor of the country.

[xxxexcelxxx]

If you choose to be a slave then brother may god be with you. I am a free man and only serve god

[upLIF]

Im not choosing to be a slave, the Bilderberg group is choosing for me and you to be slaves. We need to expose the real criminals, becuase the president is just the guy we can hate, when really he is told what to do by bilderberg. If you are interested in finding out how the world works, watch The Obama Deception on youtube. Brand new.

[xxxexcelxxx]

I was a slave to the government for 6 years and 4 of those years i was in iraq. But i choose to help those that cant help themselves. All im saying you can live your life with the thought that you are a slave or you can focus all your God given talents to help others. Freeman are around. Ill tell you what since your sound educated. Follow this path. Go and knock on the door of those that you seek knowledge from. Hope you can figure that out.

[ahomevideoonline]

thank God you came back unharmed.

just one question tho when you guys heard that the Assyrians where being massacred why didnt you do anything about it?

[xxxexcelxxx]

I think people are confused about US soldiers. You see we dont choose who we attack, or dont attack. When i was in Iraq, i only saw my squad next to me as a squad leader my goal was to complete the mission and bring my guys alive. That is it and sadly that is all of it. I dont think if what we were doing was right and wrong you dont have time for that. But now that im out of there i understand that their was some fucked up shit, but if that is the price i pay for your freedom then so be it.

[upLIF]

How am I enslaving myself, knowledge is freedom. Do you know what sodium fluoride is? BTW I like Joell Ortiz thats why I'm here, I don't like Obama because he isn't working for us.

[lightbrownaintwhite]

I LIVE IN THE DOT!!!!!! trus... thas dope

[scarb0r0]

yea man i'm in tdot too..scarborough stand up!

[lightbrownaintwhite]

905 416

[youngs1ncere]

[bmxjeremy]

It's a shame Obama is even worse than Bush. Fck the so called new world order.

[kevind15]

I not even think Obama listens to rap.

[ahomevideoonline]

[BIGL187FLATLINE]
