  • blahblahblah.now find us all jobs.

  • fraud

  • He couldn't run a lemonade stand. His heath care bill is now proven to raise the debt while it cuts services and thwarts medical research. If diagnosed with colon cancer for example you would be 6 times more likely to survive in the U.S. vs the UK.

  • Mr Obama your policies don't work. I am not sure if you have read history but progressive policies have let to this boom and bust bubble in America. Before you progressives took over our GDP grew at a 10% rate. Think about it. Most of the middle class were doing very well. Now it grows at 3% because the progressives believed that 10% gdp growth was too much. They control our lives. RID AMERICA OF PROGRESSIVES. SWEDEN, VENEZUELA IS WAITING FOR YOU ALL.

  • Well good for you too buddy.

    You and I will disagree sometimes but so be it.

    BUT one thing I suspect we agree on is that We the People NEVER signed up to be the world's police force.

    We have been hoodwinked for too long. Too long have we stood on the frontlines of battle so only a global agenda of competing interests can further their own machinations.

    Our troops MUST come home. I will DIE trying to spread this message for they are dying in battles that aint about our our freedom.

  • YAWN...........SUCH a LIAR and FRAUD.

  • Hey Mike T

    Obama is NOT a good man... He's a peice of shit muslim trash racist communist...

  • Private Health Insurance Co.s (HIC) and their Rethugliban puppets are doing everything to maintain their POWER over the American People. HIC want to continue SCAMMING us out of our money and DENYING us CARE! Standing BETWEEN YOU and YOUR Doctor, they deny the doctor's prescription if it is expensive, making sure you get the CHEAPEST pill, NOT the MOST EFFECTIVE! HIC executives have ONLY ONE concern: Pay minimum, maximize profit, get HUGE BONUSES!

    They DON'T CARE whether we DIE as a result.

  • "Stephen Hemsley, CEO and president of UnitedHealth Group Inc., earned $3.2 million in 2008, a decline of almost $10 million from what he received a year ago"

    "In 2007, Hemsley received $8.1 million in options and $3.6 million in incentive pay."  - The Minneapolis St Paul Business Journal

  • God forbid someone make some money in this country. I thought that was the American way. Now you ficking communists have taken over and demonized people who took risks and over years finally earned the big bucks. What we all aspired to do. I am so fed up with progressives they have destroyed America. The progressive in chief must go before it over!!!

  • Obama is a good man, but he is allowing himself to be bullied by corporate interests (as well as all those around him who are owned by corporate interests). He needs to stand up, realize they have no wish to compromise, and fight them. If he doesn't, he's going to lose the will of the people, we can no longer allow private interests to dominate our nation. FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE, not for the people for the corporations.

  • Yeah that is why he made a backroom deal with Pharma. Cause he is being bullied. How bout THE BIG PAYOFF. THIS CRONY IS LIKE ALL THE OTHER CRONIES.

  • Please do not expand the power of the secretive FED. Transparency is important. Secrecy is exploited. Representatives are the voice of the people and have the responsibility. Transparency is bipartisan. Please do not expand the power of the secretive FED

  • why not make it transparent entirely, then expand its power? The corporations cannot go untamed, thats why we passed things like the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890, it's why FDR put stronger controls on businesses and banks during the Great Depression. Unfortunately, Obama has let that part slide because he wants to compromise with them, he's trying to be reasonable. The problem is they are not reasonable, and they take a mile for every inch he allows them.

  • You people have been brainwashed. regulation have been implemented and when the gov is corrupt they make backrooms deals to the corporations that screw all of us taxpayers. WAKEUP

  • Watch "The Obama Deception" in HQ! This is the truth about Obama that you must know!

  • Thats my PRESIDENT!!! YEA!!!! Obama!!!!

  • Do you people not understand that we're(THE WORLD) are going to use up all the oil in the world?

    Do you people not realize that the free market , when it's time(when oil is gone), will REVOLUTIONIZE alternative energy?

    The Government is INEFFICIENT! These are basically welfare programs he's creating.

    This is like hiring 20 people to trim my yard with nail clippers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This guys got a lot of nerve............

  • what you talking, snoop doggie? nail clippers? Let me shave your back

  • The worlds largest national citizen arrest will take place on september 11-12 2009 on all corrupt government and corporate officials for violation of the logan act and for committing treason against the united states. If you hide from this dragnet your families will be targeted.

  • shut up seriously no one likes hippies when they talk about oil. some are good looking though...

  • Do you people not understand that we're(THE WORLD) are going to use up all the oil in the world?

    Do you people not realize that the free market , when it's time(when oil is gone), will REVOLUTIONIZE alternative energy?

    The Government is INEFFICIENT! These are basically welfare programs he's creating.

    This is like hiring 20 people to trim my yard with nail clippers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This guys got a lot of nerve............

  • STFU....wat are you doing thats so good for us....stop bitching

  • What are you a sheep that cant read the newspaper?

  • Do you not understand that under the free market it will be impossible to run out of oil? It's true. Simple price economics, my friend.

  • This is very scary. Why do I want to look to The Government to help my family? Why do I want The Government to get involved with energy? Not everyone believes in this whole Global Warming nonsense.

    Did he say "INVEST"? He's gonna take it upon himself to "INVEST" my hard earned money that they take?

    Invest in Toyota! Invest in GLOC! Invest in BMW!

    This SUCKS

  • Obama is great! For the haters, give him a chance. It hasn't even been 3 months since he took office. I think he is doing a great job.

    "Change that will keep the American Dream alive for the men and women that believed in this journey since the day it began."

  • Give him a chance? We did give him a chance. 9 TRILLION DOLLARS later, we're pissed. He's printing money like we had it. Don't you know we ALREADY have a huge defecit? Don't you understand that this is exactly the sort of thing that started WW1 and WW2?

    This is like a scary Twilight Zone episode right here. I'm scared that a large proportion of America doesn't see this.

    INFLATION=WAR

  • HE SUCKS!!!

  • during the campaign..yes you promised...

    no earmarks, you allowed thousand of earmarks

    Obama is a typical politician. Say whatever it takes to get elected.

    Obama oversold promises in his campaign and now as an imposter, I mean president he underdelivers and has lied to the american people.

    His sweeping change that we can believe in is....bankrupt america to the point of no return and usher in a NAU, then the NWO

  • Thats my PRESIDENT!!! YEA!!!! Obama!!!!

  • I am glad keep touting it because when the country ends and there is a revolution we will know who supported this crook who destroyed America.

  • Great incentives! I agree, renewable energy is the way to go. Companies like Ambit Energy is doing its part in helping people save money every month on their Energy bills. See my videos for more details.

  • I am sure glad you brainwashed drones have so many nice things to say!!! good for you. Keep drinkin the Koolaid.

  • Mr Obama,

    RPM new Alternative energy is your answer to America.

    Time is not on your side.

    the PinacleMan

    the OnePlanet Guy

  • Continued from page 1

    All RPM energy cars, trains. ships amd power generation plants can be made in America, made by Americans and made for Americans and the rest of the world.

    THis will generate USD 10 to USD 100 for every stimulus dollar invested.

    Simple maths, USD 787 billion becomes a minimum growth to USD 7.87 trillion for America.

    the PinnacleMan

    the OnePlanet Guy

  • Mr Obama,

    Please look at RPM new alternative energy that will rid American OIl Addiction.

    RPM energy will power cars, trains, ships, power generation plants

    and windless wind turbines. RPM is 100% fuel cost free and 10% GHG emissions free.

  • Fuck you, you fucking liar. We know you are purposefully destroying this economy. Every word that comes out of your snake-mouth makes me wanna ralph my gym shorts. Fuck you.

    Watch "THE OBAMA DECEPTION" to learn the truth.

  • lol

  • DOWN WITH AMERICA

  • Word, Barack! So what about all the oil company profits? Aren't they part of the American system? Too many exposes have shown their lies about egregious profiting and this was the essential step in their destruction of the American economy.  No, they don't care about renewables..Enact a new "Standard Oil Antitrust Act" for THIS century! Why are they not accountable for a dime of bailout money when they show such insane profits? Are they multinational or American??

  • *sniffs* Social Capitalism as a reaction against the fuck up that was the Bush Administration?

  • basicly. But as middle class that benitifts me.

    basicly if you make over 200,000$ in your housewhole, this new movement will fuck you over. And make you live like the rest of us.

    hell my family lives on 100,000 a year and we are very well off. we live by the ocean, have a hot tube, a nice big house, a big TV, a nice set of cars.

    If we can live off it, rich people can live off 10% less income.

  • Mr Obama, I love you but you didnt mention the energy source which is scalable, economical and provides 70% of US clean energy now. Nuclear energy. Please support nuclear energy.

  • yeah nuclear energy is best cuz we are running out of sources of energy plz!

  • Adoro este homem. Só espero que ele consiga fazer tudo o que deseja fazer!

    Boa sorte

  • Truth is treason in an empire of lies.

  • Obama, if you are for change, pull us out of the North American Union.

  • Mr. Obama, you are undoubtedly the best president America has had in decades.

    Please do these 2 things...

    1. Get us off oil.

    2. Kick out the lobbyists.

  • Hey President Obama.

    IF you really mean what you just said then you have my gun hand sir.

  • You Idiot. You just keep writing checks with money we dont have. When I see you, I remember a bumper sticker I saw a few months ago. It read, "(Go to work, there are millions on welfare counting on you"  Vote for Rush Limbaugh 2012.

  • Hey President Obama. Fuck the flagpin.

    You're the man now and since all that SHIT about you being a secret muslim communist baby-raping homosexual terrorist born in Kenya is ONLY the remnants of the shadow the neocons tried to cast on our minds, you wear what-the-fuck-ever you want. Because we Americans resisted their poison (finally).

    As a request, do a weekly address with a hawaiian shirt and drinking a beer. Ho! primo beer brah! Or wat cuz you stay in da kine white house no can?

  • Good for you. Us Liberatarians are growing in volumes because we have had it with our antithesis (progressives) taking away our freedoms. Live and let live I say. I am tired of the government playing church and mandating marriage. I am tired of the government telling me what drugs and treatments I can have when I am sick. Now you want to mandate I buy your fuicking health insurance that the corporations you demonize offer. All I want is one thing. TRUE FREEDOM!!!!

  • i have no idea what he just said, my volume was on low, and i only heard 'americans' 'jobs' and 'college' and 'taxes'

  • Jump off the bandwagon and think for yourself people!!

    watch?v=5J2W7gFzChM

  • I would tell you to do the same. Do not pull yourself so far into the rhetoric pread by Alex Jones , etc, taht it stops you from thinking in other ways. I listen to Alex jones as well, however.. One must be very careful how much we lean mentally. Right, Left or radical.

  • I agree. I am a bit turned off by his ranting, nd anger. But I like his website alot. and he has really good guests on. Its good to get an independant view of the news, which is the main reason I listen. I am very political, but I try not to polarize myself on issues. I voted for Obama...I thought he was going to pull a JFK, but he clearly has not.

  • the man can speak a little better than the white guy we had snark!

  • Wow, what a drastic difference in tone between your first and second post?!

  • these are tough times, and it is good to see that Obama is not buckling under the pressure. Whether anyone agrees wholeheartedly with him or not, he holds our interests at heart. Good luck - The French have your back, Mr. President.

  • oh my god, i got chills listening to this address. is this guy really the answer we are looking for

  • Yeah he is, and hes doing a great job.

  • so what the fuck's he know about being a gangsta. so what the fuck's he know about being a gangsta

  • Why hasn't reform(dot)gov launched yet?

    We are all about transparencies, but we'll get to that later.

  • " Free money " so that why Obama's spending that way . Change.....and then hope it will be OK ! He's using the taxpayer money for his " gamble" to win or lose ( not run ) in 2012

  • Comment removed

  • I wish President Obama and his administration the best of luck, I hope he will succeed, because that will have a good and postive influence on the rest of the world....it always has, at least to Europe. I know we need it. Im trying to live by his postive "rules". It worked allready, I found a new job on my first day of unemployment, and there's a chance of me getting a better job soon, :-) Thank you President Obama on giving me this positive Boost I very very badly needed. :-)

    Good luck sir.

  • Great !America have a great man:Barack Obama!

    Proud!!!

  • Banks are crashing, FDIC is almost broke, your 401K is less than half since Jan 20th and the stock market is sinking. Youre now paying other peoples mortgages, hidden Tax increases, 20 TRILLION spent and now Obama now says our problems all stem from the high cost of health care? Who is going to pay for this? You libs need to start controlling this jerk Obama before he ruins your life.

  • follow him sheep, it will come a time you will relized whats happening. That time might be to late.

  • I just happen to have some taste when it comes to men :)

  • I wish there was a news channel devoted to nothing but Joe Lieberman news. . .but then again I wouldn't get anything done LOL!

  • tifjoking - What's with you and your crush on Joe Lieberman?? *LOL* I think he's just the most average looking guy - barely average. (I think my husband is a lot better looking. Good thing, huh?)

  • TFM1958-Why does anybody like anybody???. . .we all have our own tastes. And yes, it is a good thing you like your husband better than Joe Lieberman, LOL.

  • tifjoking - well of course you're right. But of all the people to have a crush on - Joe Lieberman!! *smile* Have a great day and if your affection for him makes you happy - there's nothing wrong with that. You'll get no competition from me when it comes to Senator Lieberman. *wink*

  • TFM1958-Oh well good, I was really worried about that, LOL.

  • I spoke with a small business owner today. This healthcare plan Obama will push out will force small business owners to provide healthcare to their employees. Forcing this will jump cost quadruple to maintain an employee base. He will be closing his business and put 10 people out of jobs.

    Keep it up Obama, so we all will *have* to depend on the State.

  • bigun89 - I can't fathom that. I wouldn't take it at face value - it would be positively stupid. After all, I know a lot of small business owners who don't have health insurance themselves. I'm a business owner but I have it through my husband. Be wary of Obama haters who will say things with reckless disregard of the truth simply because they don't like our new Prez. Small business is where a lot of jobs will come from to pull out of the recession.

  • actually Obama's health care plan will help small businesses. Small businesses will be subsidized and there will be a public option for the businesses to choose from.

    Obama's plan does NOT force small businesses to provide health care coverage. It forces corporations and LARGE businesses to provide fair health care coverage. There is a big difference

    Wal-mart and Mcdonalds can afford to provide healthcare coverage. But don't let that stop you from reading their propaganda.

  • Oct 2008: Hawaii drops the state universal health care program just 7 months after it launched. Budget shortfalls eliminated funding. Families dropped private coverage so their children would be eligible for the universal plan."People who were able to afford health care began to stop paying so they could get it for free," mostly serving immigrants and members of lower-income families enrolled. It was helping those who didn't need it.

  • We pay more per person for health care than any other nation in the world and get so much less. Why? Because insurance and pharmaceutical companies are making a killing. The American people are getting screwed by Washington's relationship with insurance lobbies. Having public healthcare to compete with private healthcare will lower costs significantly, because public healthcare with no extravagant overheads is inherently more cost efficient. Isn't competition what conservatives advocate?

  • dotherustle, - Do you really think that a Gov. run health care will lower costs? Does the Gov. do ANYTHING efficiently? Stop and think about it for awhile and you will soon realize how crazy that idea is.

  • What??Keep uneducated comments like that to yourself .

  • Great man! You are absolutely right! What's dragging down the world economy is the greed of few. To really change things those few must be contained.

  • Hey POSident Fuckheada,

    More unemployment will be coming, and your policies are directly to blame.

    It's very simple - companies will not invest and hire to merely serve your bullshit plans, and companies that are here will begin to lay off because they dont want to be bothered with making money they cant keep.

    Why is that so tough to understand, Obama. Are you so fucking dense, or is that simple concept somehow missing from your teleprompter so you never get a chance to learn it. Fool.

  • Team Obama here bitches!!! and, I wish Mr. George W Bush Jr. and Rush Limbaugh die slowly and painfully. Yes, I said it.

  • Tell us that when we're all in the food line ! You'll feel real cool then !!

  • alessandroiscool - I think Bush2 truly believed that what he was doing was in the best interests of the country based on his mindset. I've been hearing lately about these memos that show to some degree we really lost our Constitutional rights. I knew that because I actually READ the Patriot Act. Something most people wouldn't do - they just bought the spin. Makes what Nixon did with Watergate pale in comparison.

  • Wow, I may not be a GW Bush fan, and I am not fond of Rush Limbaugh, but they want what is best for their country......

  • Obama's Stimulus Package " Pork Barrel At It's Best " . ... $1.7 Million to find out why pigs (and manure) stink !

  • LOVELIFE54,

    I agree! Who gives a rat's ass why pigs stink!

  • tifjoking Absolutley ! This has been discussed before . Doesn't it seem so hard to believe that Obama is trying to do any good for anyone ? Some of us that have posted think he's really trying to bring down the whole economy ! What else can it be to spend so much on pig smell , Really ?

  • LOVELIFE54 - I just heard on CNN that it was both Dems and GOP who piled up the budget with pork. I voted for Obama - and - because I don't want excess pork either - I'm glad it was voted down.

  • TFM1958 ... I would like to know who voted for the pig smell issue and who didn't , along with the tatoo issue ! Total irresponsiblity at a time when our economy is in serious condition !

  • LOVELIFE54 - beats the heck out of me. *LOL* I can see some very marginal value in the tatoo removal thing for gang members (make it easier to get a job and straighten up and fly right) but not enough to put a nickel into it at a time like this. You're more conservative than me as I read your posts - but I'm on the same page with you on this one. Show 'em how to earn money to get their own dang tatoos removed.

  • TFM1958 .. I think that every person is responsible to make their own way ! I realize that these are difficult times but even in our good times ! Too many people expect a free ride from the government and all the people that faithfully pay their taxes and mortgages and bills get nothing ! Right now there is no incentive to be successful ........ there is only Incentive to fail and that's what I see in Obama ! I will help you if you fail .... Tax you to death if your successful!

  • LOVELIFE54 - My favorite Starbucks closed their doors for good today. Then I went to Circuit City - they close in 4 more days. On the other hand - a SB that closed last year will reopen - now a frozen yogurt shop. These big businesses closing will provide room for small biz to grow - w/ a little push. It's going to be exciting. We griped about big box stores taking over - now there will be more room in the market place for small business to gain larger market share.

  • TFM1958 That is all great to hear ! Small businesses makes up a large part of our companies . At this time I would be willing to give then all the help that that need ! I do think Obama definitely needs to be more understanding of the small investors and all investors across the company ! He appears to be working completely against many things that are needed to get this economy on the right track ! The markets are telling him that !

  • LOVELIFE54 - I dunno, but when Obama thinks "investor" maybe he thinks "fat cat on Wall Street" and not too sensitive to the fact that it's the average mom and dad and their 401k and future retirement. Hubby and I aren't in the market now so we're okay - but scary seeing the DJIA dropping so much.

    Did you hear he plans to overhaul how govt procures products/services from businesses? No more $600 toilet seats!! No more Halliburtons!! Says it'll save $40b plus a year. Good news!

  • TFM1958 Absolutely Obama sees the investor as the fat cats ! Well I'm grateful for the fat cats , my wife and I worked 30 years for a company , saved and invested our money and retired a year ago ! This country needs fat cats like it or not . Obama needs to change his attitude about them or he's going down as the next Jimmy Carter !

  • LOVELIFE54 - I've met and worked with many millionaires who are great people. Let me clarify - when I say "fat cat" I'm not referring to a dollar amt - I'm thinking about people who lie, cheat and steal - which is a minority. I'm a small biz owner and writer. I do fine - but when you keep reinvesting back into the biz - well, it means it'll take me longer to retire - but I love what I do so I'm okay with it. Thank goodness my husband is the saver.. (Congrats to you and your wife!)

  • LOVELIFE54 - Most people don't want a handout - yes - some. Send 'em to a job training program and get 'em off welfare. I see people w/ entrepreneurial drive constantly in all age groups. Also, young people encouraged to reach harder and farther because Obama's a role model of success. Many felt "the system" was stacked against 'em and now the playing field is being levelled so they're encouraged to work harder and fly right. Obama's about personal responsibility - definitely not handouts.

  • TFM1958 I see many people on welfare or disability who brag about how they get everything for nothing ! I'm not saying all , there are people that truely are appreciative for the assistance they get .. and they should get it !

  • LOVELIFE54 - When people take advantage of the system - that chaps my hide.  Most people DO work hard and take pride in that. All able bodied people need job training and get 'em working. And yes, that something for nothing mindset does come from a traditional Dem attitude to take care of the poor cradle to grave from the 60s and 70s - but I don't think it's where Obama's coming from. Hey, I brag when I get a good sale at Macy's - sorta like something for free! *wink*

  • TFM1958 ... I do sense that's exactly where Obamas coming from and I don't want to give more if someone is a welfare take advantage type person . Offer them training and if they don't take it .. end the welfare ! I also agree that most people are working hard , I was talking about the ones who take advantage of it and I'd be willing to bet there are more than either one of us thnks ! !

  • TFM1958 .. Thank you for a respectable debate :-)

  • LOVELIFE54 - In the 80s there was a program in Wisconsin for job training to get folks off welfare - what a great thing. Should be national.

    What I hear from many African American folks - it's time to step up our game. AA women are starting businesses at 4x the rate of men. Time to take education, career and life more seriously - we have no more excuses. They get it. There's much soul searching going on - personal growth - which leads to other positive growth. That's what I see anyway.

  • I love Obama, but I feel like I may be a part of a cult of personality. I'm a liberal, but I'm feeling skeptical of this plans already.

    Oh well, I'll see what he does next.

  • Cheshirecatmeow1 - I think the danger is that conservatives want to paint liberals as "one-note" and all thinking in lockstep and vice versa. The point is we all have different nuances in our point of view - and truly we need to listen to each other if we're going to really get anywhere. I voted Obama and I'm happy about some things he's done - but not happy about others. Generally I'm more pleased than not..

  • It's great to hear from your president every week.

  • NUCLEAR WASTE MITIGATION!!

    Zero Point Energy technology can not only provide America with all the electrical power, & heating & transportation fuel to replace fossil fuels in 10 years, it can also MITIGATE NUCLEAR WASTE, & REPLACE NUCLEAR POWER & all types of centralized energy power plants.

    Google "Brown's Gas Additional Properties" and learn more on the first two hits.

    Please see also: FreeEnergyNow . net

  • "The status quo is comfortable & secure. Change is frightening but in this case, the most dangerous course for the national security is inaction. We must be prepared for the coming convulsions related to energy shortages, spiraling costs & economic disruption. The best preparation would be a replacement for oil and related fossil fuels. & we have it. But disclosing these new energy systems carries its own set of benefits, risks and challenges."

  • ahhh...i feel so warm and friendly now that everybody hates obama! ) i cant think what kind of person still holds admiration for this sock puppet...though it scares me i know they exist.. waiting in line for some emergency bread. how do you all like your new chinese landlords? did hilary actually do that asian eye thing when she appeared to be completely begging in all the chinese press? hatred never felt so right before! )

  • Klassy diplomatic gifts to the Browns, Obamas.

    25 DVDs? SRSLY? (FYI, Brown's eyesight is terrible, he does not watch TV, and I hope your people at least bothered to make sure they were properly coded for the UK region.) While he gave you national treasures.

    And from your fugly wife to the Brown boys, two cheap Marine One helicopter models swiped from the the WH gift shop shelves at the last minute, by her aide, no less.

    What an embarrassment you two lowbrows are.

  • Wow, look at all the ignoramus commenters repeating soundbites from Rush Pillhead.

  • Let me give you a clue about the Rush/Cramer/Santelli vs. Ogabe Admin. crap.

    They are raising Rush et al. celebrity status, creating more Rush et al fans, and making Ogabe et al. look silly and unserious while Americans lose more of their life savings every time Ogabe announces a new plaaan to raise taxes and spend more $.

    And if you don't think once Ogabe's "recovery" proves an epic failure, that people won't remember Rush et al. saying so, then you are as delusional as Dear Leader up there.

  • MacGhil - The Obama team's rubbing their hands gleefully with Rush's performance at CPAC and Steele's fumble.. The GOP's becoming more splintered into 2 camps = moderate GOP and uber-conservative right. As long as they're split - not likely GOP will pick up more congressional seats in 2 years or the presidency in 4 years.. They're lovin' it - to quote MickeyDs. Rush cares about ratings and media exposure (helping Dems more) and GOP politicians care about moving forward in coming years.

  • LMAO. POSident Fuckhead blabs about healthcare and the market tanks.

    It's a perfect correlation - Obama speaks, market drops.

    This fucker is doing this on purpose to create more government dependency. Obama is a stupid jackass. Here at my company we now openly call the business drop since January the "Obama Effect."

    .

    .

  • Good... And If The Market Fails Totally... I Can't Wait To Cut Your Kind In The Soup Line...

  • GO USA GO OBAMA!

    People he ACTUALLY is planning to do everything he said he would do - impossible - we knew as voters after years of the usual - the candidates will tell you anything to be voted in and then they ALWAYS change their minds.

    Imagine this - Barack actually dies what he said he would - imagine!

    Go Barack - my President!

  • Yes please Obama, GO. Just go away....

  • "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

    --C. S. Lewis

  • MacGhil - omnipotent moral busybodies? Gee sounds like the Bush2 administration and the conservative right to me.

  • GWB is the prefect Southern Democrat.

    I think the left only hates him because he was a better liberal than most in the D party, from "spreading democracy and policing the world," to medicare expansion, to NCLB, to AIDS in Africa, to the "ownership society"( which led to the banker bailouts); all of which he partnered with Democrats on. Their only complaint was that he spent too little.

  • And his support for banning abortion and gay marriage, don't forget those. Very liberal indeed.

    So he ends up being a socially conservative, fiscally moronic, internationally hated spokesperson for the republican party.

  • That's why I said "Southern Democrat" which are typically pro-life, pro-gun, pro-entitlements but more fiscally conservative than GWB ever was.

    FWIW, DoMA was Clinton's baby, as you might recall. (And what I wouldn't give to have Clinton back in office over that idiot up there.)

    And if GWB is a fiscal moron (which he is) then what does that make Ogabe? Since, you know, he's continuing the same big spending, borrowing and printing (though raising taxes during this recession is uber-moronic.)

  • "Thesole condition required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex, is simplified, and reduced, as it were, to a single principle."

    --Alexis de Tocqueville

    "Democracy in America"

  • "The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd."

    --Alexis de Tocqueville

    "Democracy in America"

  • "That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing."

    --Alexis de Tocqueville

    "Democracy in America"

  • "For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?"

    --Alexis de Tocqueville

    "Democracy in America"

  • I got say that the collection of the poor logic and poor critical thinking skills reflected in the negative comments is a wealth of proof that we have got to fix education. ....and maybe get the heavy metal toxins out of the water and food chain.

  • This video quality is scary

  • It's nice to have a President who doesn't think he's too good to keep Americans posted on what is going on!!! He's doing a great job!

    Also, as a sidenote, I think Joe Lieberman is soooooooooo cute ;P . . . .come to Mama!!!

  • tifjoking - I agree with what you say about our new president - but Joe Lieberman cute? You gotta be kidding. I think he looks like a Jewish frog with white hair. Not even a little cute. And the way he stumped for McCain during the campaign? Not such a good thing.

  • TFM1958-You know what they say, ,beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

  • How about you stop touching our hard earned paychecks? Oh yeah and stop talking to the public because everytime you do the market tanks. K Thanks Bye.

  • Mnuxun1l - Our new president hasn't touched your paycheck. and it's not what the president says that's making the market tank - it's the abysmal reports on jobs and GDP from the last quarters of 2008 - and that was on Bush2's watch.

  • L1nuxun1l, with all due respect, uninformed much?

    Either you are a paid 'troll', or a truly very, very uninformed victim of propaganda. You need not suffer.

    Your paycheck will most likely increase as 97% of American will be getting tax break, and watch last nights Daily Show to get a new take on the "President" and 'Stock Market" propaganda. Bottom line, you are being lied to by your source of information. I hope that helps you to feel less stressed.

  • We tried to warn you when you were drinking his Kool-Aid. Now he is running our country in the ground! When you are going through the coming Depression (that he will cause)  I hope you are happy with the change he brought you!!!!!!!!

  • He changed his finishing sentence to "Thanks for listening." The last ones were "Thank you."

  • no civilization in the world has ever been in this much debt.

  • Or spent so much in so little time (at the same time).

  • Dude gives me goosebumps when he talks like this...

    Give him a chance, lets see what happens, if it works... oh man.

  • And if you voted for him. Why did you vote for him? Dont give a generic answer like change. What change?

    What policies of his made you vote for him?

  • To progressives like myself, Obama is a mixed bag... we're still pissed he plans to leave 50k troops in Iraq.

    BUT, the promises he made about ending tax breaks for oil companies, investing in renewable energy, stopping health-insurance companies from controlling health-care, building infrastructure, supporting net neutrality and open internet/wireless spectrum, along with a foreign policy that isn't as insane... are all good reasons to vote for him. Kucinich would have been better though.

  • foamweapons - we all have to look at the totality of what a politician does - not one issue (admittedly our troops in Iraq is a huge issue). We're never going to have everything all the way we want it - because we have to consider he's prez to all the people - not just the progressives.

  • RobertGoodFella - watch the weekly vids - every week he's tackling what he promised in the campaign. Much of why I voted for him is - he didn't take money from big corps and interest groups - he's free of big oil, big corporations and can make moves favoring the people rather than them. I wanted a green economy and no way could McCain create that. I wanted regs enforced on Wall St , the FDA, govt vendors and the GOP would never give us those things.

  • Where on earth did you get the mistaken idea that Odrama didn't receive money from corporations and special interests? Goldman Sachs $955,473 Microsoft Corp $798,049 Google Inc $782,964 Citigroup Inc $653,468 JPMorgan Chase & Co $646,058 Time Warner $544,601 IBM Corp $515,249 UBS AG $513,919 Skadden, Arps et al $505,774 Morgan Stanley $485,823 Latham & Watkins $461,511 I swear to G-d, you progs live in an alternate reality.
  • MacGhil - I'll bet these numbers are dreamed up.

  • You could go check it out. The info is readily available online on several reputable sites.

    But I know, it's much better to believe what makes you happy (or whatever lies Odrama tells you) than to believe what actually is.

    You progs personify the adage, "Ignorance is bliss."

  • Any non-white people here hate Obama?

  • Comment removed

  • The Wall Street Journal recently stated in an editorial that President Obama is attempting to expand the role of government to such a dominant position that its power can never be rolled back

  • feurzug - we're just finding out in some of the memos from the Bush2 administration - that's exactly what they did - and those powers lessened our civil and Constitutional rights. Everyone took it lying down (almost everyone) because they were afraid of terrorism. I read the Patriot Act when it first was released and it's powers were sweeping and scary. But I couldn't convince others to just even skim over it and learn what it is.

  • Am I the only one who thinks that he's under some kind of mind control or something? he seems different... why do these politians all look glazed over and a bit wall eyed.. look at Ram emanuel... hillary Clinton... these people are not normal looking... OR SOUNDING!! its not the same obama as u saw on the campaign trail... that guy was about real change this is a new brain washed cat I swear... does anybody else see this?

  • I think he's just doing that to look a bit more professional and to make it seem more like he's talking directly to us. In the rallies, he had to face everybody in the audience and had a lot to pay attention to. Besides, I'm not sure how you're expecting him to behave when he's recording a video addressing people who'll be watching on a computer.

  • You have to put into account how much he has to deal with now, much more that he had prior to becoming president when he was just running.
