I never liked Obama anyone would beat Palin because she terrified anyone with any sizeable intellect. Having said that anyone that doesn't vote for him next time out is a cretin. The tea party are terrifying. A bunch of religious lunatics filled with hate. Typical of America though to have 96% of the country religious. ''there are two types of people in this world, intelligent people with no religion and religious people with no intelligence''. Hence US/Canada having so many religious people!!
I love President Obama. Change is tough and difficult. HE encountered a huge mess in this country and the american people didnt really give him the ppl and the congress he needed to make and work towards the change we ALL DESERVE. Now is getting more and more difficult to make the american people understand that we all deserve a better living, health environment and decent retire for the hard work we have done.
The President isn't stopping recovery- the ones who put us in this hole can't quit saying NO- Re-elect the President- and all you people who blame this mess on him- GET EDUCATED! Take a Civics class- or World History, or an economics class-You might just learn something about how Government works )or doesn't)!
Where's your hope and change now? His fans say "He can't clean up Bush's mess up instantly". All that time they blamed Bush for these costly wars yet Obama has sent troops to bomb Libya. Libya isn't a threat to us. Also, he didn't consult with Congress about this. He even lends money to a Brazilian company to drill in the Gulf of Mexico so they can sell it to us. Oil that could be used by AMERICAN companies. Now White House staff got a raise with our TAX DOLLARS while the USA owes 14 TRILLION
Shamefull this illiterate monkey has nothing to do with America. America is the greatest country in the world. This piece of filth, must be beaten, put in gaol and exiled for defrauding the Americans. This asshole cannot even find America on the map. Obama is so cheap, pathetic and so non-American.

@Kviele how is he wrong,,,economy is worse we have had a major oil spill disaster, and the third war. also we have never had over 8 years of wars in a row in our country's history and the federal gov. borrows 2 of every three dollars it spends, by creating bonds, and we will still have to pay it later. state governments are doing the same thing. Soon the biggest governemnt payment, and hence service, will be paying interest to those borrowers. Did either president, or party tell us that ?
@BuddyPrinceton Im not questioning his political view.. I just think that his last sentence: "before they shove me into a burka and subject me to Islamic Law" is just really ignorant and it tells me that hes got no knowledge about islam as a religion at all..
totally EXEMPTS Muslims from the mandated insurance costs, the tax and the penalties that will be levied upon Americans. It's in Section 1311(d)(4)(H). With millions of illegals in our country now, our lack of immigration laws and enforcement, and the import of millions of Muslim refugees -
Looking for the song of my U.S.A. childhood. I am working to expose President Obama as the ultimate terrorist to America, our Forefathers and our future. Study history and you will find that the Muslim religion has completely destroyed 14 cultures. They did it by force and then by taxing the non-Muslims - they even have a name for it - the jizya tax. Well now guess what....our new "health care law"
I voted for, and continue to support President Obama 100%. It thrills me to see that people from other nations have also noticed the obvious contempt that republicans have had for him from the very beginning! I will never vote a republican into any office, if only to spite them!
Just a word of advice....behind closed doors there are no republican or democrat. Obama is a stooge that was placed into office in order to stop total anarchy by the citizens of this great country.

I've been reading all you been writing. Shit. In Sweden is like this: It doesn't matter how old your are, it doesn't matter if your are in the middle of your life, it doesn't matter if it is a kid. Everything cost just between 2 or 4 dollars. And you got everything for the money. We don't have to pay for the extra. This is socialy normal thing in the north of Europe. It's called Sweden.
I heard it the first time and it it's still the same. Hope the american understand what he sayes and understand to keep him. I'm from Sweden and all the things he is talking about, that's normal for us.
It's your corrupt system that has prevented Obama from doing what he promised during his campaign. Republican's voting against every good policy that he had because the only people your system works for is the rich pompous plutocrat. I am Canadian and I wouldn't live in the US if you paid me.
really???? remember there ALL ALWAYS FOR US WHEN THEY WANT UR VOTE!!!!
OUR unemploment rates have risen and poverty in a sense is flourishing in this greedy capitalistic country.. The rich still get richer and the middle class still struggles to get bye to put there kids through school just to have them not b able to get a job...The laws and acts he has passed havent positively affected me one iouta...HE LIKE ALL THE OTHERS ISNT DOING A GOOD JOB
Hey Asshole you only wrote in a third of the lyrics. You left out the part about people starving under the steeple and also the line about private property being an illusion. Who the hell do you think you are to edit the words of Woody Guthrie? Perhaps you will die in a FEMA camp for your short sightedness. This song was written to protest this establishment, and now you help them warp it to their ends. Thanks for the escalation of Afghanistan and Iraq. How dare you?
God, people this man is best and brightest, he`s done SO much in such a short time. Personannlly I LOVE this man. Love what this man has accomplished so far. Please, please people DO NOT give us Palin or a Palin clone in 2012. I want the smartest person inthe room for Pres, not some dumb ass who can barely utter a sentence without looking up "the big words".
you guys can bag on him but hes done a lot....and here's an example....gas prices...when bush was president don't you remember the gas prices?...almost 5 dollars a gallon. now look at them. And he is still keeping all of his promises. Those who complain are the ones who are lazy and don't do things for themselves and depend on the government to take care of them.
This man... Obama... really got me fooled. And it is pretty hard to get me fooled. He gave us so much hope to take our country back from the corruption that has hijacked us all. He let us down. There is no hope for America. The last true American president was JF Kennedy, and they killed him for that. America has been taken hostage
I am voting for obama again in 2012 the country was so messed up when he came in it is amazing we are where we are now. He has done a great job Just pulled out of the war in Iraq focusing on Afgan and the economy is staying flat which is a victory
i think putting these two images together... obama... and guthrie (the writer of this song) is blasphemy. this is a song of the people. that the poor, the tired and the huddled masses sing. this is the song of the native people. this is a song for the american dream.
this is not intended to be juxtaposed with a member of a 2 party system with one agenda. obama is a puppet for the arm of the illuminati
@larryt21 Great stuff, man! The single mission of the Republican Party over the next year should be defeating the worst incumbent President since James Earl Carter. The one - and only - question the GOP candidate should ask President Obama during the debate is Reagan's famous "Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?"
Guess what? You guys don't get to use this song, either. I know you've made it look a whole lot like it seems right that you should, but that's just not the way the song goes.
Sorry. At least you don't seem quite as ridiculous as the right wingers who co-opt this song do. I mean, my gramma gets her medicine for free, so I do thank the Democratic Party for that.
@ krsauls. I don't usually comment on what other people write on here. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but you my friend are dead wrong about him being a liar. Those troops will be coming home, within about a month or so. Before you criticize, think about the situation. You can't mobilize that many troops in a few weeks or even months....it takes some time and careful planning. Otherwise you risk loosing more troops in the extraction....like Vietnam. Think it through before you criticize!
So, what happened? Here we are - still wallowering in our partisan political way - economy is hurting people like me and my husband who when we retired 4 years ago thought we might be ok - not great - but ok. We had no clue. And no one making over $200,000 a year and there's a lot of them - gives a flip. The American Way - pull yourselves up by your own bootstraps - that are now worn out.
oNE OF THE GREAT PRESIDENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY ....... MAYBE HE DIDNT CLEARLY DESERVE THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE IN 2009 ..... BUT HE SURE DOES IN 2010 (NUCLEAR TREATY WITH RUSSIA .... AND THE NUCLEAR SUMMIT) ..... HEALTH CARE IS AN IDEA LONG OVERDUE ......
please may i point out that obama`s entire presidency has been nothing more than average and that the only reason people voted for him was because the media made a big fuss about him being black.
and the fact that he gives good speeches. that is it. and listen to hiss messages. he promises peace. but he dosent promise anything.
great man ,great speaker ,great emotion .How much will he fine the oil companies who pollute th worlds seas .while we pay record prices at the pimps.Dont know price in USA but in scotland £1.21 per litre for diesel while these companies pollute our shores and take massive profits.someone must pay the ferryman.All the while USA ans UK kids are dying in the name of FREEDOM or OIL forgot what the cause is ,but im sure the disaster in the Gulf Of Mexico equites to a few lifes
i voted for barack obama i do believe he will offer change and he has i believe in him as a human being he is up there jfk and bobby and dr.martin luther king jr. and he doesnt back down from his beliefs iam from missouri and i am very proud to say i voted for him(by the way i couldnt stand the the prior presidents or his father they where only for the rich not for what was right
Speaking of lack of action...why would a legitimate president spend over $1,000,000.00 to avoid proving he is a U.S. citizen, as required by the U.S. Constitution which he is so vehemently dedicated to shredding.
@flakeyjakedfw by who documents can you prove this from his mother was from kananas thats america last time i checked and dont be jeas.just because you arent as smart as he is as far as our constatution maybe it needs and over hall do you not like him because of his skin color if so than you need a brain adjustment see people for who they are not your ignortances oh by the way i am classified as a white person but isee my self as a humanbeing not skin color
@flakeyjakedfw what kind of bullshit are you trying to put out there his mother is from kananas that is the united states last time i check get your facts straight that mean he has and was born with american cit. as far as your crap that is just what it is crap
I voted for him because of this speech and I would never vote for a Corporate Whore Republican. But the line is a little blurred between what Obama could have been and the Republican look alike that he is.
He had plenty of oppertunites to make a diffrence regardless of his time..
He has proven to be just another sell out politician....
using the republicans as his excuse not to pass anything candidate obama promised, there just all the same anyway, playing good cop bad cop, but in it for the same paycheck.
Still take him over mccain/pailn, but still has been a fraud..
It's funny how republicans complain about a lack of action by Obama, yet they're the ones who continually vote against his policies to create a stalemate. The right is so adorable.
Enough of that though. Regardless of your political affiliations you cannot deny the power of his words (scripted or not scripted, it's in the delivery).
@fearofmars I Would Agree. But All The Company Owners Are Going To Move Their Companys Out Of The Country Because Of The Health Care Bill. it Seems Like A Good Idea. But It'll make America Bankrupt In The End.
@washingtonboy09 Really..goof ball! You are just showing your intelligence - or lack of. Look it up genius. Obviously you are able to access porn and everyting, but to stupid to look up the facts. HMMMM
@fearofmars Tell me how there can be a stalemate when the Democrates have had the MAJORITY in the House and the Senate? Good trick. You can follow comrad Obama into the abyss if you like, happy to see you go. Chow
Bla bla bla bla bla bla. I'd put another soundtrack in the background to cover entirely what then I already considered as a stuff of promises, an hijack of precious ideas, an "Operation impersonating". I hate to be right. This guy is a populist and the way he tried to manage last democrates' failure is simply amazing. He's so keen to criticize Wall Street and some banks he had contributed to re-enforce the nasty power and practices. Simply disgusting. What's THE difference between gw and him?
it is very interesting to view this speech now and hear this song. i realize Woody Guthrie was a Communist, but he was so during trying circumstances and didn't know better. if we didn't know better this time around, his song is all the more inspiring as a free man's song. this land is for freedom and free people, not big government bullies. it's never too late to grow up.
"The authentic human being...instinctively knows what he should not do,...he will balk at doing it. He will refuse to do it, even if this brings down dread consequences to him and to those whom he loves. This... is the ultimately heroic trait...; they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance. I see their authenticity... not in their willingness to perform great heroic deeds but in their quiet refusals." My Grandma used to say a job begun is a job half done.
So... define yourself. Nothing in Guthrie's song stipulates that this land, our land, does not belong to ALL Americans, those who were born here and those who came to our shores to make a better life, and to make a contribution. You are blessed, and from those to whom much is given, much is expected. We won the last battle of the Revolution on 01/20/09; "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." The Declaration of Independence. You are an American, act like it!
Go Obama!!! I know you and ONLY you can do this. And I know it will not happen overnight. I know you will make this a better country. You will make good changes. I trust YOU!
Worship of benito-obama aka barry soetoro. How embarrassing.
Continuing 3 illegal wars and starting a new one in Yemen, bankster bailouts, TSA body scanners, patriot act II, rendition, Saber rattling Russia & China, deploying missiles in Europe & gulf, "climategate", illegally presiding as president of the UN, taking vacations during the beginning of the worst depression in history, reappointing the FED criminal bernake, more taxes, 640 billion "defense budget", geithtner-summers-paulson. . .

I've been reading all you been writing. Shit. In Sweden is like this: It doesn't matter how old your are, it doesn't matter if your are in the middle of your life, it doesn't matter if it is a kid. Everything cost just between 2 or 4 dollars. And you got everything for the money. We don't have to pay for the extra. This is socialy normal thing in the north of Europe. It's called Sweden.

It's your corrupt system that has prevented Obama from doing what he promised during his campaign. Republican's voting against every good policy that he had because the only people your system works for is the rich pompous plutocrat. I am Canadian and I wouldn't live in the US if you paid me.

Hey Asshole you only wrote in a third of the lyrics. You left out the part about people starving under the steeple and also the line about private property being an illusion. Who the hell do you think you are to edit the words of Woody Guthrie? Perhaps you will die in a FEMA camp for your short sightedness. This song was written to protest this establishment, and now you help them warp it to their ends. Thanks for the escalation of Afghanistan and Iraq. How dare you?

i think putting these two images together... obama... and guthrie (the writer of this song) is blasphemy. this is a song of the people. that the poor, the tired and the huddled masses sing. this is the song of the native people. this is a song for the american dream.
this is not intended to be juxtaposed with a member of a 2 party system with one agenda. obama is a puppet for the arm of the illuminati
this song is our song. not theirs.

@larryt21 Great stuff, man! The single mission of the Republican Party over the next year should be defeating the worst incumbent President since James Earl Carter.

Guess what? You guys don't get to use this song, either. I know you've made it look a whole lot like it seems right that you should, but that's just not the way the song goes.
Sorry. At least you don't seem quite as ridiculous as the right wingers who co-opt this song do. I mean, my gramma gets her medicine for free, so I do thank the Democratic Party for that.

Those troops will be coming home, within about a month or so. Before you criticize, think about the situation. You can't mobilize that many troops in a few weeks or even months....it takes some time and careful planning. Otherwise you risk loosing more troops in the extraction....like Vietnam. Think it through before you criticize!

and the fact that he gives good speeches. that is it. and listen to hiss messages. he promises peace. but he dosent promise anything.

it is very interesting to view this speech now and hear this song. i realize Woody Guthrie was a Communist, but he was so during trying circumstances and didn't know better. if we didn't know better this time around, his song is all the more inspiring as a free man's song. this land is for freedom and free people, not big government bullies. it's never too late to grow up.

"The authentic human being...instinctively knows what he should not do,...he will balk at doing it. He will refuse to do it, even if this brings down dread consequences to him and to those whom he loves. This... is the ultimately heroic trait...; they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance. I see their authenticity... not in their willingness to perform great heroic deeds but in their quiet refusals." My Grandma used to say a job begun is a job half done.

So... define yourself. Nothing in Guthrie's song stipulates that this land, our land, does not belong to ALL Americans, those who were born here and those who came to our shores to make a better life, and to make a contribution. You are blessed, and from those to whom much is given, much is expected. We won the last battle of the Revolution on 01/20/09; "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." The Declaration of Independence. You are an American, act like it!
