Please protect America's credit card.

I couldn't imagine having his job watching everyone piss away money like that.

Poor guy is talking and offering ideas knowing that no one will bother to listen.

G-d bless him.

This guy is a pathetic liar.

HIS POLICIES (repub policy) BUILT THIS DEFICIT.

Not democratic spending.

conservatives make me sick with their reliance on fiction.

If you insist on voting against yourself, at least do it for a real reason, not the fiction this bonehead peddles.

Now to the Green agenda that the administration is pushing. Green technologies (to just purchas a green version of a product v. a non green product) costs significcantly more. While the initial investment is the long term payoff is savings. what is the problem with that the democrats ask. AND THE ANSWER IS THAT WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY RIGHT NOW! why? BECAUSE WE ARE BORROWING FROM CHINA, SOCIAL SECURITY, AND WELFARE!!!!! and then we print more money which means what? DECREASE IN DOLLAR VALUE.

THe heakthcare system is costing us more money becasue those pepopel that pay for their own health insurance or those companies that provide it for their employees are now forced to pay higher premiums to help pay for those who are being supported by the government health insurance plans FOR FREE! That means more costs for fewer people who actually pay for it.

Now around 12% of the money tht we are spending in addition to what is being borrowed from china (china's money comes from what? OIL and COAL) is being borrowed from other AMERICAN public assistance programs like welfare and Social Security to CREATE MORE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS! does that make any sense to anyone. THen add the healthcare debacle into the mix. THE healthcare system that is modeled on Canada's healthcare system that canadians come here to avoid! Why? see next comment.

The Obama administration has spent 12 times the amount of money that the Bush administration spent. Granted BUsh had two wars, Hurricane KAtrina (and you can debate how well that was handled but if you understand how state laws work in relation to federal ones thats pretty clear) Bush in his eight years spent 367 Billion AND BEFORE OBAMA TOOK OFFICE THAT WAS TOO MUCH SPENDING! Our national debt now exceeds $14,000,000,000,000 and we are borrowing around 40% of the money we are pumping from china

Boner is wall streets nigger!

Obama the worse President in US history? I think he's shaping up to be just that. Probably be the last one in our history, too, since there won't be a US to be president of after he's finished with us.

The Problem is with both parties. Republicans as well as Democrats signed the TARP that started the "tax & spend" spree in Washington. I'd like to see some accountability, not finger pointing. Republicans need to hold their own accountable and the Democrats should hold their own accountable. Looking forward to lots of new faces in Washington in 2010!

This administration has gone too far, and congress has gone too far as well, it's time to take our country back! We cannot sit by and see it destroyed by socialism! This congress has got to go! We must vote them out! And the czar thing! What's that? Just a way around having to get things passed in congress!

[gloredaze]

Great speech, we need more, much more, get your grubby hands out of our pockets, get your noses out of our lives, go back to limited government and freedom for Americans!

You have over stepped your bounds and gone to far, Mr O! you are circumventing congress with you 'czars'..knock it off your 'socialism' is exposed! You are not following the constitution, infact you are stomping it in the ground! We wont stand for it, I promise!
