What all people need to realize is that this recession is bigger than petty party politics. This is about people's jobs, homes, lives and futures.

I've been supportive of Obama, but Barney Frank, you're a little late to the party. When you sat silently as finance chairman for the past two years, and turned your back when the worst of this crisis was going down. You lost my respect.

Both parties catered to their donors and let the economy tank.

The government didn't buy AIG; it lent it money.

I have a question to EVERYONE on YouTube - What are we going to do about all this ? Besides just post our brains out. -We can't get the truth from the media -We are low balled on wadges more then ever -50 yr olds are told 'over qualified' for work -More immigrants on Welfare -LA City Council makes 187,000 -LA City Council get 200K ea. pensions -LA laying off teacher -Obama fighting law suites not to provide birth records. -Taxed to death -Laying off poor Gov workers - Socialism

DonewCA: Your right... blame it on the young kids on drugs.... not the parents that misinformed the kids (or weren't there at all), or the media which shows them limited and always filtered bs over and over and over and over.... how can u blame them?? these children on "drugs" are no more responsible than the oder generation which are in fact taking many, many more "drugs" than those horrible kids..... just because they are prescribed doesn't mean they are not "drugs"... it's really a joke IMO

If the buck stops with Obama (the spend thrift man) does this mean he will PERSONALLY pay back the deficit - out of his own personal retirement savings - when his change does not work ?

miss fwank, stick it up your arse, it will have lots of company there.

Obama's out of control. Like a lottery winning sex addict in a whore house

[nomorehit]

Personnally, both Dodd and Frank should be locked up and throw away the key. Both of these dopes have played major roles in the colapse of our financial system. Each time they get interviewed, they tell us another lie! And Obama... this guy is clueless! If he does not have a tellapromptar in front of him, he's lost.

[DONEwCA]

Why do the low class people who follow Obama always use such hateful and four letter words to describe their opinions.

Most Obama's followers are children on drugs.

thnku4myshit,

As you are not ignorant about what & perhaps even who has led us to this economic catastrophy, then perhaps you are better placed than most of us to mitigate some of the harmful effects of this crisis for yourself.

Good luck to you (and the rest of us too)!

thnku4myshit,

What are people most afraid of?...The UNKNOWN!

What is the basis of the unknown?..IGNORANCE!

What is the best protection against ignorance?..EDUCATION!

You should only fear what you do not truly understand!

Now people are slowly starting to research & educate themselves about the very 'system' that has up till now invisibly 'controlled our lives'.

The super, rich, elite are not afraid of this system.. Why? Because they created, control & manipulate the 'system' !

[thnku4myshit]

of this man I know that I will disappear like I never existed. I am just doing what I can how I can. Some one sent me an email saying why do I not go to the media with this info. YOU ALL have no idea how deep this runs and who is involved. I have personally seen elected official leaving offices at 2 3 in the morning doing their back room shit. You are in for a huge eye opener. None of you have any idea
