Obama's "empire"

[atrios28]

So much for American "Glasnost & Perestroika" under Obama's regime

[bubba007ss]

It's about time you Liberals take notice that these politicians are actors the most of them are not concerned for you or me but their own agendas They both wanted this war, plus the president can not take us to war with out congresses approval Al Gore would of did the same thing after 911.. It's time to wake up to the truth these lying Politicians

[davidlee110]

afghanistan beat up the soviet empire

[ndyt]

This channel gave Bush a free ride compared to how it is HAMMERING Obama.

[Earthlazarus]

Liar*, bro.

[madmethod21]

Unfortunately Obama has disappointed those of us who were hoping he really would change the face of politics. That obviously hasn't happened. I personally believe Obama is a sincere person, its just he is under extraordinary pressure to walk a thin line. I only hope in the end Obama proves to be the kind of President he claimed to he would during the election.

[Earthlazarus]

HAHAHAHA

[atrueamerican1]

@madmethod21 Did you not know who obama hung out with?The only pressure he is under is to change this country before his crew gets thrown out on their asses.He's about marxism all the way. Send Barry back to Kenya to be with his kin.

[tawny624]

Odumbo starts out his speech reiterating the phony story of  911, which he is smart enough to know is a complete scam. This speech is nothing but bullshit. LIES LIES LIES LIES He is bending over for the foreign Rothschild banksters and betraying the American people.

[captcrais101]

Obama's doublespeak is no betterthn Bush. Maybe we should call him Obushma.

[stramey8866987]

Has anyone considered that over the long term the US is just finding excuses to keep a military presence in the region, from Saudi Arabia in the 90's to Iraq and now gradually moving to Afghanistan. America will never leave no matter what Obama says. Even if there is a future withdrawal, there will always be 50k plus troops in the region.

[55ella2007k]

The speech was nothing more than a cut-and-paste job of many prior presidents trying to garner the support of the populace for yet more military expenditures and wars. The speech was completely devoid of the historical context in that region, because it was none other than the US, which supplied and trained the Taliban to start with, while the Russians occupied Afghanistan. This is a long-running geopolitical game, which will lead to disaster. Thank you, REAL NEWS !

[gnu11111]

Obama's newspeak is utterly disturbing.

[marcus3379]

Obama is full of it, we are in fact unique in being founded as an empire with every intention of expanding. We expand and occupy to this very day, we still occupy Europe FFS.

[SPAGHETTIMONSTER1]

hate to say, but Obama does not impress me at all. thought he said end not prolong? if i say terror, what they gonna kill my bad dreams at all cost, "my terrorist."

we been there since Irac , and the power people don't want to leave.  duhh.

Obama get your shit together or get out !!!! "puppet" is what I think he is. too bad

[beldapriest]

This is the same guy we elected? Something happened. He was my last hope to turn things around. I am third party from now on. Lies, lies, lies. We have been in a war for almost nine years without a real investigation into the attacks on 9/11. Zero faith.

[Imperiused]

Well, I think that prize was more of an attempt to try and pressure Obama from escalating the Afghan war in Asia. But yeah, the Nobel Peace prize was a joke from the standpoint of Obama having really done anything.

[taxisgay12]

The irony of this just in the first 41 seconds is disturbing.Eisenhower hall?Cadets?Obama?

He warned a long time ago about the military industral complex. Now the new head is addressing the military in the hall named after Eisenhower.I don't really believe in coincidence.Seems to me a subtle way for them spit in all of our faces.

[tyugh0000]

stop complying and the actual system will break down!

[WellIAMScottish]

Blowing up some of the poorest, most unfortunate human beings on Earth is supposed to accomplish.... WHAT exactly?

This war is sick. This war is waged by mentally ill people. In the United States we call them murderers. When they go to the Middle East to commit atrocities we call them "hero's".

I'm sick of this military industrial bullshit. Enough is enough. End the war OF terror.

[pisces196949]

What does this tell me? This country is ripe for a third party takeover. Republicans and Democrats are at the corporate trough. Vote 3rd party I don't care if you are conservative, liberal, moderate whatever. Vote for a third party where your heart lies. You really don't have anything to lose anymore.

[elbowbiter1]

Stop Voting, the game is rigged and we aren't in on it.

[xxashyy]

This shit is depressing. It's like it doesn't matter who's president they all continue to obey like robots the military industrial complex.

[MustacheVerra]

@xxashyy

I would not underestimate the MIC but they are not at the top of the food chain. Elitist, banksters are. I'd say the military industrialized complex is more likely a means to an end for these folks.

[loai050]

Hard to listen to this man, couldn't listen to Bush either- they have no shame.

[xxashyy]

All that crap Obama was talking about is a bunch of pie in the sky horseshit and he knows it. Where in the US Constitution does it say that the American people MUST "stop "oppression" around the world i.e. Foreign aid and military intervention? The founding fathers should rise up from the dead and seize the white house after hearing this evil speech. It's that toxic. As for the US government not occupying nations. Isn't are military in 130 nations around the world? Obama... A real traitor.

[dianarose13]

@xxashyy The so called Founding Fathers did believe in Empire beginning with the expansion to the pacific and subjugation of the native people. Romanticising the past won't help us understand the present.

[xxashyy]

What do you mean "so called" they are the Founding Fathers of America and the so called Indians were not here first. There is a lot of evidence now that the vikings were here before the "Indians" settled here.

[dianarose13]

Vikings may have been here before Columbus, not the native people who go back at least 10,000 years. You are way off the mark.

[terraceterra]

Obama disgusts me. He is a liar, liar, LIAR!!!

[loren1283]

ONE TERM PRESIDENT!

[fal2grace]

yes, I think he just insured it.

[danmanjones]

Good work TRNN. Thanks

[jsjs525]

see if you can spot the teleprompters...!!!!

I usually fall asleep when people read from their papers in class.... this is just as boring because he's reading from his paper but pretending like it's not there.... damn Obama knows how to lie just like Bush and Clinton and the many other shill presidents we've had....

[christopher81818]

Billions lifted from poverty? HAHAHAHA!! Nope sorry Bambam, not even close.

[ArcticSlicer]

His speech is so full of lies and hypocrisy that it's hilarious.

[christopher81818]

I especially found the whole "We're not here to occupy your country" very hilarious.

[jove04]

Wars lead to Bankruptcy--> Poverty-->Civil war-->Collapse-->Disintegratio­n soviet style. Afghanistan must be the place where Epires die.

[MommaElin]

What did he promise about the income- tax? Mind you: where goes the income-tax? 4 months of the year you are working as slaves of a system that's one big joke. A failure, Obama is an instrument of some bloodsuckers, whispering what he has to say. He has NO authority or what so. Nor had Bush, Nor had any puppet president since the assasination of JFK. He said his own words and had to die ASAP. Wake up america and rise.

[RonnieInOC]

I voted for Obama. I will not make that mistake again.

[Pnkbong]

Me Too!

[yo1dude1man]

Me Three!

[yo1dude1man]

Oh no not the 9/11 card again! I thought Bush took that with him?

Will if I can quote ESPN, "COME ON MAN!!!!!!"

[flyingbird0214]

Oh, no! Not you guys, you were supposed to be Obama's little helpers. Remember back to last year as you supported Obama as the messiah of all, the friend of the friendless? What happened? Have The transfer of wealth to Wall Street and total disregard to those unemployed and underemployed or the inaction in gay rights changed your minds? This is the moment I say: I TOLD YOU SO!

OBAMA 2012: Change we can believe; We are the ones we have been waiting for; Hope; Yada-Yada...

[yo1dude1man]

All Hail flyingbird0214 .

[btigtime2]

Very Good... you are the meat in news today.

[AJsOwner]

Thanks, Paul. TRN is still the only hope for truthful and penetrating coverage of events.

[TheJadeMachine]

they dont even have to lie well anymore, that's how screwed we are.

[tstm89]

Huffington Post is silencing all global warming dissent in their comment section. Over 400 messages have stood "pending approval" for hours! Pass this news on. Take screen grabs. Are we still in America?

[SandCmpbll]

that is not true. Besides, the only dissent is coming from people bought and paid for by the energy companies. Believe me, I work with clients in oil and gas and they all agree that global warming is a fact.  I really wish people like you would stop listening to this yahoos.

[DJTmaq]

Obama is a Fraud. ClimateGate is the web that ties him and many past U.S. leaders to the global "domination" agenda.

Youtube: The Obama Deception

[iknownothingnow]

I enjoy watching Progressive news. I agree with Reese Erlich (author of Target Iraq), when he says the substance was nothing new and that it could have been out of Bushs playbook. He (Obama) is making a horrific mistake.

More lies from those that are supposed to help. There is very little difference between Bush and Obama.

[nesianboy]

Obama, you sir are BULLSHIT!

[thegreatestbak]

hey obama wtf do you call blackwater? Killing innocent muslims on a crusade (confirmed by head of group) and funded by federal government? Srsly starting to lose faith in Obama

[melodymaker65]

LOL@00;37 will the real slim shadey please stand up please stand up

[gareyt17]

LOL.....how long ago was it the little liberals were telling us, "Afghanistan is the good war"?

You loons crack me up.....

[dawidziwsko]

"Global security?" I could've sworn I heard "Global Supremacy"...

[CodisOmodis]

9/11 was an inside job.

[Arkinight]

The hypocrisy is palpable.

[zayadnay]

thinking of*

[zayadnay]

lets break it down :D .... the united states is attacking Afghanistan and pakistan to destabilize pakistan for india's interests and for the gas pipe lines and control over the oil rich region... and it is intentionally over spending and depreciating its currency to make our goods appealing to the global market and to come back as a competitor in the manufacturing section ... i wish that last point was true because at least someone is thinking or the american people's interest lol

[borderhopper619]

"we do not wish to occupy other nations..."

wtf are U.S. troops still doing in japan? germany? isn't that occupation?

[lln003]

it's not called occupation. it's called having an overseas base.

an occupation is when a foreign army occupies an indigenous land and imposes political, economic, and social will on the native people.

don't forget that we beat Germany and Japan in WWII and we were there to secure peace.

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

No, as far as I've learnt in history, the US has tended different from most other empires in this sense (you might argue Iraq and Afghanistan are exceptions to that rule,at least for now) and your point about bases highlights the difference with US imperialism: bases, economic pressure, the mere threat of attack among other cards up its sleeve. Closer to late 19th Century British imperialism.

[borderhopper619]

here we go again with the "September 11, 2001" sounds like bush/cheney/guliani......same agenda different man

[MommaElin]

it's time to play the music, it's time to see the light....the muppet show tonight!

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

Oh I enjoyed that comment so much! :)

[MommaElin]

Where did my comment go? Vanished...any way...weird stuff happens.

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

The Great Gonzo ate it to the music of the flight of the bumble bee. (but you can still find it if you click on "see all comments".:) Take care!

[RocknSymphony]

i agree, religion and politics are used for control but religion and politics have been given a bad name becuase the people in charge lose the idea of what both politics and religion are. neither were meant to control people, but that's what it's turned into. that's why we have to step up and change this idea. they're changing the definitions and details of those words and we have to keep them accountable. its more complicated then many think

[zoticus1]

@RocknSymphony

Institutions like religion and governments have always been systems of opression and the people always buy into this idea that they help the masses.

THEY DO NOT

[RocknSymphony]

Brush up on you're psycology, philosophy, and the ideologies behind the actions of mondern politicians... democracy can be a good thing, you just have to take advantage of it and do something about it instead of watching these videos and creating flame wars. (not that you are, but most people do.) religion has been used in the wrong manner. it can be a good thing too, it all depends on how you use it. It's all a paradox. It's more complicated then at first glance

[PersonalJesus348]

If you knew anything about Psychology you'd know that humans are not inherently good.

[cityzenkane108]

Yet another puppet. Nobel piece price, utter disgrace. The war on terror is a fabrication that initiated a new era of pre-emtive war. Its all lies. Al Qaeda do not exist, anyone clued in knows this, wake up people its all propaganda.

[PsyogiBottoms]

We have officially reached 1984! OMFG!

So just reverse everything the media and government tell you.

We did pick this fight, we do invade other countries and steal their resources, and we don't care if your kids live in poverty or not - ours wont.

Double Plus Ungood.

Beware the Ministry of Truth.

[flyhead2]

Excuse me for ust a second while I pull an al-Qaeda goon out of my arse....

[willrobson8125]

Everyone here should read Greg Mortenson's 3 Cups Of Tea.

The military needs to be there to provide security preventing the Taliban's ability to govern. During that security the children all over Afghanistan need to be offered balanced education so they can defend themselves from radical Islam's madrassa's.

[EricIndiana]

Hogwash.

Greg Mortenson needs to open his eyes & realize Afghanistan is all about a natural gas pipeline.

People are being manipulated by BS propaganda about how sending 30,000 more troops is the solution that will educate the youth & feed the homeless.

Its all BS.

Opium production in Afghanistan has gone UP since we invaded.

We are not fighting the Taliban if we are not destroying their cash crop.

We are allowing them to continue their drug trade so they can thrive, so we have to be there.

[bob733333]

170 countries with US bases isn't enough for an empire. every single word obama speaks is a lie. people who think we aren't an empire or an arm of the British empire are brainwashed. obama doesn't bumble because he reads off a teleprompter. he's a front man for warmongering luciferians.

[entropyfu]

Incremental, hardly perceivable change you don't beleive in

[HuxleyWasRight]

The reason he can "put a coherent sentence" together is because he's reading it from a tele-prompter, I hate Bush, but at least he could actually make a speech without the need of a tele-prompter .

[AmadeusExcello]

You make no sense at all.

Furthermore, if such logical fallacy is to be your contentious case, then the question that ought to be asked is why didn't Bush, Jr. take full use of tele-prompters when addressing the nation?

I presume the forthcoming answer would likely explain why Bush, Jr. was once photograph apparently reading a book upside down.

Game over.

[HuxleyWasRight]

I'm not here to defend Bush, he should be locked in a cage for the rest of his life for what he's done, and you're absolutely right, the contemptible idiot should also have used a TelePrompTer like Obama does ..... he probably would have if he could read ;- )

[blackiron60]

Obama needs to remember that a lie keeps growing until it's a plain as the nose on your face - and America's constant message of "liberty" and "freedom" while being against "empire" is absolutely and blatantly false.

[Jargin9112]

Hey Mr Real News, 911 was an inside job the evidence resides in the thermite and liquid pools on molten metal. please be real and honest when you call yourself real news and interview people. Thanks.

[6enlighten9]

obama reminds me of something like religion. promises everything, but delivers nothing. very sad for america and all those who thought this dude was different.

[wadadde]

promises everything, delivers nothing...

isn't that what politics is usually about.

with religion the people don't notice that it's all bs.. the American people are already noticing the cracks in the china, so...nope, Obamology is not a religion, just buisiness as usual.

[6enlighten9]

i guess what i am trying to say is politics and religion are no different they are both ways of controlling those who let themselves be controlled.

[HuxleyWasRight]

Barack O'Bush .

[loren1283]

Aesthetic change you can believe in!

[BankofSpirit]

pole-it-tickle pup-pet, reel phunny on tape, phunny pharm, ewe just can't see strings. A tie for one, used as a leash by bankers when its a supposed to be a string like those on a finger, the reminder, a tie's a string put round necks of those who're to be, not act, trustworthy, who we can trust, the tie & knot are a reminder ie: French invention guillotine as guil starts guillotine for a reason, its guilt w/o the tee, games start at a tee & ie is the xample, difference btwn tie/lie, a hyphen.

[wadadde]

yes, let's bring race into it.. very mature..

[hamletundone]

does anyone else notice that america and india are "former" colonies of the British Empire...and a wish to control China...oh yeah, and there's opium involved...and banks....and ...i do not appreciate american service men being pimped out to serve...well, you take a guess at that one.

[1984noway]

obama is a cheap lowlife who has sold americas soul, for oil, bankers and facism

[wadadde]

fascism...

idiot

[1984noway]

grow up

[tyugh0000]

c'mon brother, he's only the 'first' face!

[1984noway]

Your right brother, one of the many to come ,who will push humanity to the limit

[gli96187]

Paste GW Bush's over the Obama segments and it'll sound and look just like a Bush Neo-con speech with someone that can read the cue cards better. Remember Remember Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires.

[pisces196949]

precisely.

[PersianPaladin]

Obama can fuck his mother in hell.
