  • these big guys getting balled out dont even appreciate it so why help them? Help the samll business out who would. small business emp from 5 to 75 emp if they helped all the small buys we would of saved alot of jobs and we would appreciate it but hell no fuck the rest of us. Are we real Americans I was raised Americans care but I feel like a forner in my own country

  • So why all the demands on the Big 3?

  • The point is that the number is 7,4 trillion. Obama Bush & Co. could pay all morguages and give houses away, but no, the gave it to the bankers to pay back all the money they invested in them. Barack is going to complain about Bush next 4 years, so there will be no time for change. The sheeple loose again. FEMA is getting ready....

  • "WE" the people don't get the real story on anything...think about the DTV situation...the GOV supposedly is sending 2coupons to each household worth $40 to help in the transition, but if you don't use it in 90 days they expire...(during financial cisis?!!)..it is in the law that you can't get replacements...who wrote the law...the networks recieved the digital airwaves for free..but we have to pay for access?...do you see any networks airing stories on this? same thing with the bailout...

  • I can only wonder how Obama and the democrats can straighten this shit out, that is if they even want to straighten it out. It's not like this has not happend before and it is holding true to form; Republican government destroys the economy then democrat government has to rebuild it. FDR, New Deal, I think Carter had to help Chrysler and of course Clinton had a big mess to start with. Obama is stuck with the Tsunami of economic disasters though.

  • Clinton left a recession in 2000 and pushed for banking deregulation, ending Glass-Steagall Act after 70 years. Some deregulators are back to government, with Obama. Summers, Rubin (son), Geithner...

  • a world economic crisis... I'm starting to think the damn Mayas were right after all

  • the bailout was necessary. i don't think they could had done anything because of the degree of the situation....the good thing is obama will replace bush soon

  • Wall Street needs to throw a bunch of idiots in prison! I DEMAND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Posh prison is too good for them. Lets freeze their assets and send the dirty bastrds to the public medicaid euthanasia homes that they have set up for all us poor trash.

  • lay off the fast food greasy fat ass. get a life

    The election is over,

    The talking is done.

    My party lost ... your party won.

    So let us be friends,

    Let arguments pass.

    I'll hug my elephant,

    You kiss your ass.

  • the talking is not done. there are billions at stake, in not only dollars but lives, and your party is resposable 4 it.

  • Capitalism: Privatize the profits, share the loss.

    Socialism: Privatize the loss, share the profit.

    Now you tell me which one is a better system?

  • If you believe that true of either system, then you need to get a real education. The one you got didn't work.

  • thanks for posting the vid...our govt. is asleep at the wheel for sure!

  • US government if you read this I hope that you useless corrupt assholes get each of your pinky's amputated. You dumb fucks can't run this government and let low level workers do your work but don't have any control over it. You let Billionares like CEO AIG have parties of $340,000 when they should not be running their worthless company you bought with tax-payer money. You give back billions of dollars to rich fuckers who lost billions from people who only make thousands. Congress shit-heads.

  • Actually, they don't have to read it. George Bush's fleet of data mining computers are recording all of it and will automatically notify his secret homeland security police that you are a domestic terrorist for surveillance.

  • Sorry bro...but the oversight that you are asking for is never going to happen.

    The Democrats and Republicans are one in the same...have you not been listening? Why would they want to oversee themselves and make themselves accountable?

    You haven't been listening, and NO, we did not win in that election.

  • you see , the majority of the zombified public voted for Ob , when a genuine reformer with the record to prove it was seen as inexperienced or idiotic , now you will see what a mistake you all made . you couldn't look beyond your prejudice of independent , conservative woman and you decided to make an Oprah social statement , don't bitch when things get worse , you only have yourself to blame .

    Palin already cleaned up Alaska and she was ready to clean up WH , you fools . JV

  • Sarah Palin was intellectually challenged though. She struggled to string a sentence together that made sense when asked a question appertaining to the job she was aspiring to. She thought Africa was a country and South Africa was a state inside the country of Africa(now that is fucking dumb). She was dumber than that Bush guy you voted for in 2000 and 2004, and that is REALLY DUMB.

  • hey , if the incompetent Dems didn't oppose regulation when it was brough to their attention , the housing crisis and these bailouts wouldn't be being discussed right now .

    but no worries , the same rejects that caused the problem ( Frank , Waters , Dodd , Schumer ) are still in positions of power and these are the people that are supposed to fix the problem LOFL .

    don't give me this bipartisan garbage , the only way this is getting sorted is by convicting the people who perpetrated it .JV

  • 83% of AMERICANS DID NOT want this bull-crap BAILOUT!

    But it went through ANYWAY because LOSERS like BUSH AND OBAMA who voted it through!

    Is Bush a douche? YES

    Is Obama a douche? YES

    Is Mccain a douche? YES ... Remember... Mccain voted the $700B through too.

    But MITT ROMNEY WAS AGAINST IT!

    So, why isn't Mitt Romney president?

    BECAUSE YOU IDIOTS would rather have a SOCIALIST like MCCAIN run instead of a CAPOTOLIST MORMON!

    Americans are idiots.

  • rtardbox, McCain got the majority of votes during the republican primaries. I seriously think that Romney and Huckabee split the votes of the far right. It was a strategic issue.

  • there is already a "suboversight committee" within congress. Crooks like Cummings is just making a show out of stoning a singular accomplice, THE ASSISTANT Kashkari. 216 dems voted for the bailout. 151 dems voted for deregulation. If you want to play the bipartisan card, I can always trump it with a Clinton card. He passed dereguation. Bush just had the interest rates lowered. Bipartisan monkies know little about the issues and they care more about the party than the country or the people.

  • Spoken like a true ignorant bible-thumping redneck trailer-trash hillbilly.

  • I expected a backlash after financial services lobbiests under Bush outrageously extorted congress for the bailout bucks. I imagine that in the 11th hour of the administration, Bush and Cheney will shred papers and make off with all their nazi gold before finally leaving. Google "Bushonomics" to find the white house economic survival plan unveiled by Bush today to 20 world leaders at the G20 summit. Please note that it has been officially posted for about 5 years now.

  • Ok Bush bashers Nofuckingbama voted for the bail out too!!! Youngjerks wise up!! Nobama & McCain belong to the same club!!! The country is going down the tube, and marial law will be in order soon. Exercise your 2nd amendment rights before they are taken away by Nobama. One of the first things he is going to do is take as many constitutional rights away from you as he can with executive order!! When they break down your front door to take you to a FEMA death camp, greet them with your Glock!!

  • I LIKE THIS GUY!

  • Bush gave massive tax cuts to the top 5%, but that was supposed to trickle on down?

    When is that to happen? Anyone know?

    Now, the $750 Billion is going mostly to the top 5%, but is supposed to trickle on down.

    Does anyone know when that will happen?

  • from what i understand how about the money system works in the USA...for every $1 borrowed, $9 is put into the economy so in actuality, they didn't borrow $1 trillion, they borrowed about 10 trillion so whenever that $10 trillion really hits the economy, gas will be about $9/gallon or something, it's going to be crazy...

  • We're all FUCKED, and George Bush is doing the fucking. He led us down the primrose path to Iraq. He led us down to the gas pump to pay $5.00/gal. gas. He led us down to deregulation on Wall St.. Now he wants to steal the rest of the Tresury money before he leaves office. The guy should fucked up the ass in a prison by big Mike and Bubba.

  • One of the reasons why Democrats like Barney Frank aren't doing anything might be that they've been compromised by blackmailing because of their own corruption. See "Conspiracy of Silence" and related videos on my account.

  • hey americans....

    RON FUCKEN PAUL! VOTE FOR HIM!

  • "let me ask you Americans something, would you want to be president of a country that is virtually bankrupt?...no good person that I'm aware would likely want that seat so just who the hell is this Obama guy..."

    So anyone running for president during a recession is no good...

  • yesterday the vid had 48k views and today it has 34k? WTF?!

  • Damn TYT is boring...yada yada yada. The comments here are WAY better than "Yawn"..TYT. And now that we have a new president, TYT will have nothing to talk about and hopefully Go Away! Kinda Like what FOX news is doing. Are we (WE/All of us!) Sick of politics yet!?!! Damn right we are! Obama: Good luck dude!! You inherted a BIG mess!!(Thanks george, we all still love you.. NOT!) Good luck Obama! We feel for you, hope you feel for us too!!

  • wow.. what a boring comment... yada yada yada.

  • a world economic crisis... I'm stating to think the damn Mayas were right after all

  • lol yea wont have to worrie about crap come 2012 right?

  • let me ask you Americans something, would you want to be president of a country that is virtually bankrupt?...no good person that I'm aware would likely want that seat so just who the hell is this Obama guy...

  • How is this bush bushs fault? He will be around when this money is spent. So biased Bush has been a lameduck since 2006. This is all fuckin Paulson

  • we are all slaves...we've been slaves since 1871

  • and if Ron Paul is so great how come he never mentions how everyone is a slave based on the Act of 1871?...all Ron ever talks about is the FEderal REserve...I bet he's trying to distract us from the real issue...everyone is property of the US Govt...ever wondered what all that District of Columbia crap was about, Google "1871 United States" and you'll find out...

  • do you Americans ever wonder why nearly every bill they pass these days benefits the corporations?...if you do, Google "1871 United States" and read some of the articles about what happened in 1871...I'll get you started, in 1871, Congress committed treason against the people, the USA was flat broke and made a deal with the international bankers, the deal involved rewriting the constitution to benefit the corporations instead of the people

  • yeas well , if you do not understand my nick name, please visit the video SPEEDING TICKET TASER, then you will realize why.

  • Yep. Anybody who voted for their incumbant that voted for that bill need a big slap in the face.

    My congresswoman, Pelosi, has lost my vote permanently, and I will work to oust her in 2010.

  • It's really bad, but what can we do. History shows that protests and petition letters don't do anything.

    We just have to sit and take it up the ass.

  • What are americans doing trusting congress at all? With Obama it's not going to be any better. He's already gone back about taking troops out of Iraq. 290 billion and people don't give a flying....

  • Bush and Cheney have robbed this country blind. The two of them have stolen over three trillion dollars from the American people.

  • The most cost effective caliber to stockpile is .22lr. 10,000 rounds can be had for approximately 400 dollars. Your best bet for guns in that caliber are the 10/22 ruger rifle or the ruger MKIII semi-automatic pistol.

  • I agree 75%.

  • how the hell did we give them this much money without oversight. this is such bullsh*t. i think everyone has to agree on this. they are stealing our money straight up. the congress are a bunch of sell outs (literally). they had to have been paid off to let this sh*t go. i am furious and theres nothing anyone of us can do. criminals are running our country and i am paying for it. and all we can do is make little videos and write little comments about.

  • YOUTUBE VIEWERS ALERT!

    PASTE THE FOLLOWING IN Y-TUBE SEARCH ENGINE:

    Shocking Video Unearthed Democrats in their own words Covering up the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Scam that caused our Economic Crisis.

    As voters, we must participate more in who we hire as our elected officials. Sometimes I think that we vote based on whether a candidate has an R or a D in front of their name. Listen carefully and write your congress person. They work for us, not for their party.

  • Why try to make that a partisan issue--both parties are guilty.

  • Repeal the Federal Reserve Charter that gives banks control over money supply

    As a stop gap measure U.S. government could print the money they spend, until banks begin lending again. This would not only put cash into the markets, but reduce the deficit.

  • If anyone in high levels of government is reading this, know that your fucking incompetence may cause a revolution.

  • They want us to think it is mere incompetence. But they can't be that stupid. "Emergency" is the name of the game - they think they can get away with screwing us while we are too busy panicking to think about it. They misunderestimated us this time. There is a reason why every kid knows lists of names and dates in history books but has no clue what the Federal Reserve Board is or how credit works.

  • thinker0110, you think it's incompetence?...honestly, you do?...you think they misplaced 700 billion?

  • I blame all of this on the price of oil. If the price had stayed at $50- or $60 we would not have seen this bust in the market. The home ownership thing is separate form the low profit in the market place. why else would the price of oil fall so fast? And now that price of oil has fallen, I can go buy That Big screen TV I've been waiting to buy.

  • We need Ron Paul mentality in this country, if we did we could be so rich beyond our imaginations, imagine not spending a trillion dollars a year in 700 military bases around 100 countries, that's insane.

  • keep up the good work TYT

  • The New World Order is here, a global dictatorship by world bankers.

    Their agenda is to reduce the world population down to only 500 million people, a 90% death rate.

    McCain, Obama and Bush are both just Puppets.

    Google- Endgame

  • No need to go that far. Their aim could just be to make all their fraternity and club friends multi millionaires with taxpayer money.

    Hard working peoples TAX MONEY.

  • alright some one else knows about end game :D

  • Cenk,

    This is the way America works.

    The stupid American people allow the Wall Street/Washington cartel to fleece the American people.

    they will vote for ANYONE as long as they are against abortion.

  • Regulation means watching them

    deregulation means not watching them

    Oversight means watching them

    No oversight means not watching them

    No matter how you phrase it crooks don't like being watched.You are now witnessing the biggest money grab by government in world history, and when it comes to money everyone crosses party lines.

  • Bush/Cheney told us if we got more billions to the richest people it'd trickle on down to the middle class.

    And now that Halliburton & Blackwater & other big company execs have bought fancy million dollar condos in Dubai with their tax cuts and oil executives who were given billion in tax cuts have stashed tons of money in off-shore accounts where they don't even pay tax on the interest -- can someone explain to me how that's gonna trickle on down?

    Anyone know?

    Waiting for an answer.

  • It will never trickle down! Give money to people who will spend it on their houses, cars, eductaion, food etc. That will stimulate the economy far more than the so-called trickle down effect, which is a flawed argument.

  • bush would never spend the money lawlessly whiout oversight!

    im just kidding :P

  • Democrats/Republicans, opposite sides to the same coin.

  • Dick Cheney said he'd be glad to do the oversight for $1 Trillion.

  • lets get this stright.. Bush GAVE billions of us tax payers dollars to crooks and con men who fucked the us in a BIG way and there is NO BUGGER watching where the cash is spent?

    WOW! and i thought the uk leaders are stupid and retarded!

    God the sooner you get that dolt out of the White House and start Cleaning house the better!

  • Do the people of the world want the taxes repaid? :) Yes I agree, let them have it :)

  • The New World Order is here, a global dictatorship by world bankers, with one currency.

    They are looting the USA with the "bailout"

    Their agenda is to reduce the world population down to only 500 million people, a 90% death rate.

    McCain and Obama are both just Puppets.

    Google- Endgame

  • Expose the 9/11 cover up. The war on terror is a sham.

    The real terrorists are the CIA and Mossad.

  • Uhmm, the U.S. is trillions and trillions of dollars in the hole.

    It's not a "bail" out, instead, the government is DIGGING this country deeper and deeper into debt. Debt, that by the way, will NEVER be repaid.

    The foreign lenders are rightfully, distancing themselves away from the U.S., resulting in credit crunch, inflation, weakened dollar, etc.

    The deleveraging of the U.S. will only continue. To what extent, much will depend on Obama administrations' policies.

  • Goyim,LOL.

  • You have to give Paulson some credit, he got this plan for $700bn passed by saying he would buy assets. But he slipped in a clause about changing it to direct capital injection, which is MUCH more effective and better for the taxpayer, and now he's not going to spend a dime buying assets. He pulled a fast one on the wall street people trying to ruin this country for their own short term gain. There should still be more punitive measures, but at least it's not a complete buttfuck of the people.

  • The american dream today: free & broke.

  • the bailout = communism = Bush is a communist

  • just shows yet again that repubs and dems are each a leg of the same animal....

  • what annoys me is that there's nobody in the government that wants to intervene because of the blame game. All the democrats did was point fingers and add earmarks. They contributed much to the problem I might add. First it was Bush. Fine, but that's no excuse for the earmarks. Now they're hammering Kashkari, THE ASSISTANT by those caused the problem. AIG sucks by the way. I think that was Paulson's fault. Neither party is going to fix anything, it's retarded to even argue it.

  • they all work together man lol

  • It's absolutely insane that average citizens are failing to realize that all this debt is being shifted onto their backs with INTEREST! The debt now belongs to the american people! What the fuck?! Companies going bankrupt who make shitty products go bankrupt for a reason. When did tax money become bailout for corporations? It's crazy that people have allowed this to happen. And to top it all off everybody including the government realizes that the economy is still going to tank anyway!

  • Everybody has their hands out now.

  • I suspect about a year from now the GAO will report that most of the bailout money was wasted, probably because there was no effective oversight.

  • does a cop in the US have the power to walk up to the white house knock on the door and take dubbya down town? really im asking

  • we as a country just need to bite the bullet and be in debt until that moron is out of the white house and then come up with a plan to get us out of the many problems bush's administration has gotten us in to. good job cenk, keep it up

  • The $700 billion will NOT open up lending, people, and it's not because I read that in todays paper but I used a bit of logic; when millions of Americans have lost their jobs to China and millions more joining the underemployment lines, soap kitchents and becoming homeless, who exactly will the banks be loaning the money to? It's not like there is a total loan freeze right now, so the real question is where this $700 billion package going?

    It's a scam...I hope I'm just paranoid.

  • Cenk's right, Bush and Cheney are crooks but we have congress now and the president elect and STILL they democrats won't intervene. Kind of makes you think they really are all in on it. But then again maybe they really are just blindingly incompetent.

    Of course in the end it's our own fault. We keep voting in the retards and swindlers because we're stupid enough to keep falling for the same old lies and propaganda. Like Bush said; fool me once, shame on you, fool you.. you can't fool me again!

  • you guys think it's incompetence when they steal 700 billion dollars?...hahahaha....

  • Yes and no. It's incompetence on the part of some of them and corruption on the part of others. What it's not is a government-wide conspiracy to steal money from the public like some people seem to think. Sadly the smarter ones tend to also be the corrupt ones.

    Well smarter in the sense that a con-artist is smart, not in the sense that they could actually accomplish anything other than theft and cheating.

  • "The URL contained a malformed video ID."

    And besides that, Bush isn't going to try to stay in power and even if he does try do you really think people will just say "Hell he says he's got the right to stay so we'll just let him"?

    If you believe that, that really is insane.

  • That was the accusation to Clinton towards his own exit from office. 

    Maybe the Israeli's will start bombing Iran...isn't it interesting all is so very quiet in that part of the world? Bush was the only real hope for Israel - militarily. Now Obama wants to meet with Iran personally.

  • and Rata4YTou your point is what? this video is about the cock up of all cock up by bush and his merry friends letting crooks and con men take us tax payers dollars NOT repete NOT about Obama wanting to meat that toss pot in iran! i suspect your trying to change the subjest to cover up somehow!(so what's YOUR cut of the cash then?)

  • All the money will be gone by the time Obama takes office.

  • And now Chevy and GM want some of it too

  • There won't be any oversight over anything until the day Bush walks out of the White House and doesn't return. The Republican's poster boy hates regulation so much, he'd rather destroy the Nation than admit they need oversight.

  • The Republicans have become so politcally in-state-of-denial. They will say, do and deny and truth to get to power. Well, I guess they got that from their in-state-of-denial hero president Bush.

  • What did you really think would happen? They wanted it done in a matter of three days with no oversight. Complete autonamy. Not surprising as they have always acted with complete autonamy. Again they lied to the congress and the tax payers. They know quite well that they WILL get away with their crimes because with all the FEAR they have instilled in us NO ONE has the BALLS to challenge them. A message to the congress; DO SOMETHING!! WE will back you up. Show some courage damn it.

  • Bush got a sick payout before he got out of politics! What a keen swindler

  • every time Bush has called for something to be rammed through the Congress without due scrutiny his buddies have gotten rich.

    Look at AIG....they got creamed for the first spa luxury conference, then they tried to do it again but be sneaky about it.

    Rich people got no scruples. Oversight!

  • Don't worry, your wonder boy Barry will change it all.

  • Choosing Hillary for secretary of State will upset many Obams supporters, because we dont need any Clintons involvement in Obamas administrations. She doesnt represent what he stands for. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO..

  • Why would they need 3/4 of a trillion anyway?

    Rush Limbaugh and Ben Stein both stated with absolute confidence that it was a $30b issue.

    Maybe they were only counting the bonuses that needed to be given out to those that ran their companies the furthest in the ground.

  • U.S. economy is strong?

    This is just the beginning; it's going to be bad in 2009.

  • How come when the U.S. economy is strong president Bush attempts to get all the credit, while in crisis blames it on a whip boy like Hank Paulson?

  • Limbaugh is already calling this the "Obama Recession". They only care about keeping the power, not wielding it honorably.

  • Comedian Rush Limbaugh will probably blame the 2009 Hurricane season on Barack Obama.

  • I feel so violated...

  • So, why haven't the Democrats, who are the majority of congress done anything? Hmmm.... maybe because they have no freaking clue either. President doesn't have the power, congress does, and they can over-ride anything he does at anytime if they have the votes-which they do. They even have enough republican backing against Bush, so why haven't the dems fised everything that has been messed up, since they have all the answers??? Tell me this

  • It's a hiding power using different masks

    politics and religion had been used also

    believe it or not, Zionism had caused all this Disasters.

    Citizens doubts about zionism, is more danger than the Government crimes

  • It's not just Zionism, it's all religion that contaminates democracy and rational thought.

  • Because it's all bullshit. Republicans are idiots and democrats are idiots in different ways. It's the result of our over-inflated sense of self-esteem mixed with a healthy dose of ignorance which you can blame on 50 years of extreme prosperity.

    In a democracy a diseased government is a sign of an intellectually disempowered electorate. Bush was a symptom not a cause. Corporations have effectively been running the us for decades.

  • Oh, and the Civil War too!

  • In the mid 19th century, when big business types got too big, mobs would show up at their homes throwing all their furniture into the street and setting it aflame. This led the way to unionization, stabilization and regulation. Short of burning down big business pursuits of happiness, why not bailout the American People. Then we can go shopping and forget about the real dangers on the planet like war, starvation and climate change. Uh-huh!

  • DONT PAY TAXES

    FUCK THE GOVERNMENT!

  • jesus this is why the dems can really make you want to puke they whinge about how awful Bush is yet when they have a chance to have some oversight they turn it down! It makes me so mad, fucking grow some balls and take a stand and Obama should not be silent on this issue. They should hire Joseph Stiglitz to be chief of oversight I saw him give a lecture in Oxford over a year ago and he pridicted this to the letter, the credit cruch, the sub prime crisis; everything

  • He is not being silent...we just are not privy to his opinion at this point he has to wait for his term to start. his hands are half tied now. Obama is also an intelligent man. He knows a trap when he see one. They are looking for a reason to slap him in over stepping his power especially before he takes office.

  • kinda of agree but he can at least call for oversight over the bailout but i agree he has to walk a very fine line.

  • You want to put the fear of god into these bailout takers ...... threaten to NATIONALIZE their industry. They will listen then.

  • absolutely- But hard to do with Bush practically preaching no no we do not want to tell you how to spend the money here just take it ..my gift to YOU!

  • $280 Billion Dollars = Table Candy for Drugies

  • hey cenk, if you're reading this then pls factor into your next article on the bailout that america has a blank cheque when it comes to printing money. for example 1 pound (english) was worth 2 dollars not so long ago. now it is worth 1 dollar 50. 1 dollar 50 is what it has been trading at for some years now. by some years i mean most of the bush presidency which has seen US national debt double and a huge trading deficit also. how can the dollar be unchanged against the pound? tbc...

  • You know what? Nobody can fuck with Cenk, This guy owns every prick who dares to question him. MUSLIMS RULE! HAHA

  • Ohh & I am a little peeved at the BS stories they are trying to distract us from the real news -Obama's kids new puppy, Obama dropping kiddies off at school, oh my fav:gag: The New reality show called 'Palin & Pals" WHO GIVES A SHIT tell us where are troops are, Tell us why they havent appointed anyone to protect our money.

    Tell us when the CEOs & Wall street guys are gonna be held responsible for this crash.Tell us something of substance and not a bunch of excuses and jump to BS news.

  • As they did in 1929, the media and government are just trying to distract the public. They feel they need to hide the reality from us. :(

    This ENDLESS Bailout B.S. in the last 71 days of Bush's term is fucking obnoxious. He is both trying to look better and make more money for this friends at the same damn time. :(

    -Axel

  • well personally I am sick of the media, political parties and BUSH & pals trying to fcuk us out of what little money really do not have left after 8 years of this crap. They mame, murder & rape the people for years.. distract us with Puff pieces now after they got thier end of term bonuses from us in teh form of the bail out,divide the supporters with GOP blantant lies during the campaign. NOTE:the campaign was particularly ugly while Bush demanded the bail out. You know they skimmed of the top.

  • we are nothing but a bunch of tards to them that help them make money...I am so sick of the powers that be play this game. OHH look at the shiney ball LOOK -LOOK over here! while I ass rape your childrens FUTURES, send your children overseas to fight for our right to make money, BUT MY kids future will be save and secure...IN EVERY WAY!-I was not kidding when I say that the Bush Admin will try someway to demand the rest of it before he leaves office. Which means more palin media coberage UGG

  • jaim12005, the "evil Bush" is the same thing as distracting you from the issues. Your religion is bipartisanship. You worship it blindly.  I'm scared of people like yourself.

  • What happened to hard-hitting journalism?

  • The Democrats are co-equals in neglect,and ignoring the fact that the FED is the problem.

    Both Obama and McCain voted for the bailout,which is like inviteing a bank robber back to the bank to give him the money he forgot in the safe.

    Ill be glad when the left wakes up and realizes their golden boy Obama will change nothing.

  • go move to russia then you fuckstick

  • Why would I move to Russia? America is my home. The problem is easily solved when enough people wake up to the bullshit.

    Paulson,Bernake,Greenspan all belong in irons for stealing from you and me.

    I was gona lower myself to your leval of thinking and call you a stupid fucktard as well. That wont do any good and you probably arnt smart nuff to know you are a dumbass.

  • They need to appoint someone NOW to protect Bush and Pals from touching the rest. I feel another 'emergency' coming before xmas so they can get to teh other half of the bail out money. Before Obama gets in office. People are bitching that OBama wants to have his cabinet applicants fill out a questionaire.

    I think that is a good idea.. Know what side they butter their bread before appoint them to a higher office in the new Obama admin.

  • pulling my hair out here... wtf??????????

    That is the problem we dddddooooo understand.

    They know we know and do not give a shit!!!

    That pisses me off!

  • Why was there even a bailout in the first place!?!?!? Why!?!?!? So that people like Gordon Gecko can keep stealing from us, and ask congress for another 700 billion dollars coming from out of our taxes!?!?!? And Obama & McCain approved of this!?!?!? Absolutely B***S***. Anyone that wants to reply to this comment, and tell me that i'm wrong on the this; open your eyes people.

  • So much for the most powerful leader in the world. More like the most pitiful and pathetic. All the people that voted for Bush should be hung, and many voted for him twice. People of America, if you have no idea who you're voting for, simply don't vote. I appluad those who voted against this bastard.

  • Kerry lost for bush because of gay marriage issue. How funny is that? Americans were afraid of a bunch of gay marriages much more than a guy who sends us to war and robs all our money.

    You've gotta learn our lesson.

  • Lessons are usually forgotten unless they're permanent.

  • Fuck I hate Bush! This is absolutely rediculous! I wonder how long it will take them to ask for another $700 billion!

  • Well, the good news is pretty soon they will have nothing to fuck up.

  • These people should be shot

  • well.. America.. it's "Game Over"

    that's it. no do overs.. it was a good 232 years.. but this is unofficially officially the beginning of the end

  • Just like George Carlin said, we are like water circling the drain.

  • As usual the Bush crime family shakes down the US Taxpayer.

  • dude, don't distinguiosh btwn dems and republicans...all on bribes....look who took the most money from FANNIE MAE and FREDDIE MAC: Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and Barack Obama....WAKE UP! THEY ARE ALL CROOKS

  • Obviously everytime the dow plunged before Nov. 4 was Clinton's fault, and everytime it plunged after Nov. 4 was Obama's fault. Oh, and everytime it went up during the Clinton administration was because of Reagan.

  • As far as I'm concerned, anyone with that degree of contempt toward that kind of responsibility is engaged in criminal activity. They need to be tried and held accountable.

  • what is he complaining about? Bush can spend $700 billion in less than 10 months in Iraq. so why can't he spend that much on American in 5?

  • war in iraq = 10 bil per month

  • ain't ending anytime soon........don't kid yourself...look for slight troop reductions...Obama is too smart to deliver on his campaign promises...

  • Obama can't fix the country ... there isn't going to be a country before January! This way the republicans can blame him in 4 years when he must built a skyscraper with 5 toothpicks.

  • Looting...

  • thats why this country is a center right country, cuz the "left" party isnt really the opposite of the right at all, no overside, no domination, etc.

  • After they bail out the automotive industry, their going to bail out the newspapers. While their at it how about they bail me out. I won't need no where as much as these banks are asking for.

  • Paulson is a thief. The only difference between him and Bush, is that Bush is not just a thief, but also a murderer.

  • It's called a short con.

    You don't give them your confidence,they give you theirs,problem,reaction solution,and then your ready to be fleeced.The last money grab before a regime change.

    I'am still amazed this crap passed in the Senate after it failed in the House.Nothing's changed except now every CEO is reaching out their hand for a piece.And somebody actually called Obama a socialist?If this wasn't real life, this would be a comedy.

    Another successful experiement on the nature of mass fear

  • Hank Paulson is a douche bag he was a wall-street banker, and now he is in charge of the bailout oversight. Its like allowing the fox to watch the hen house. He may not be corrupt but I'm 95% sure that he will sympathize with these crooks, and will make things easier for them. Barney Frank is complacent in this shit too, he propped up Fannie. The bailout was bull all these banks are doing is hoarding the money, not lending money which is what we need to get the economy going. bullshit man.

  • We needed the bailout to be like the Brits. Large ownership stakes, board membership,corporate voting rights, restrictions on executive pay, and legal mandate to require banks to make loans to homeowners and small businesses.

  • Will anything be left of the country when Obama arrives?

  • we have been fucked once more

  • The Wall Street Bailout did Nothing 2 help the economy and only got the fatcats, FATTER !!!!!

  • i vote we put cenk in charge of the oversight

  • what's with the annoying adds youtube? that sucks. take those out.

  • The FED, acting as bartender, gives out free booze to the bankers

    The banks in turn have created many fake instruments like derivatives

    One quadrillion dollars is the sum of outstanding fake derivatives (fake money pledged by the wealthy banks to buy real things) 1,000,000,000,000,000 on the market, (e.g. a bank with only one real dollar can legally say it owns several billions of real dollars) The total combined assets of the world is only actually a very small fraction of that sum!

  • Invited FriendInvited...

  • this is way over Bush and paulsen's heads, far beyond there power.
