I feel like he's right. This is one of the top comments:
"It took from 1789 until 2008 to get the national debt to $9 trillion (over 200 years). It took Obama less than 3 years to boost the debt up about 50% to $14.3 trillion."
I laughed at some of the things he said about Obama and education, but in all seriousness this guy is right. Other than the "If you don't pay your bills we shouldn't pay ours."
the saddest part of politics is that the BEST politicians have become journalists or lazy fuckheads sitting around all day infront of their computers.
seriously guys. step the fuck down. its not like obama is rolling a dice every time he makes an important decision and thats it. the whole decision making process is complex as fuck and i am sure tons of factors are considered.
someone has to pay in the end. our grandfathers and fathers (yeah those fucking tough war-generations) lived the hell out of their world and now someone has to pay the bill. certainly not a politicians fault.
(blatant attempt to transport current issues in middle europe to the situation in the US)
Don't put all that on Obama, he didn't start two wars and cut taxes to the wealthiest Americans for eight years. Plus the republicans in the senate deserve some of the responsibility and blame too. John Boehner is a douche.
True, but I'm a little sick of people putting shit on Obama all the time without looking at the other side of the political spectrum too. I don't agree with everything Obama has done, but acting like the debt crisis is all his fault is just ignorant and shows you either haven't educated yourself or just don't care too.
Thats when you lead by example. Don't play into that game.
I honestly dismiss most people as soon as I hear them approach issues in terms of left v. right. Who the fuck cares what team you're on? That has absolutely nothing to do with solving the issue. This self-constructed barrier is destroying the country.
Uhhh, he may not have started two wars endless wars, but he definitely hasn't cut back on Military spending considering we're back in afghanistan, we're building permanent prison facilities in iraq, and we've added troops to numerous other countries where we have no right being in when we can't even afford to pay our teachers. Obama didn't cut taxes to the wealthiest American, he gave 18 trillion dollars to them and allowed billions of that to go unaccounted for. Fuckin Ben Bernake admits he doesn't even know where most of the money went.
Audit the Fed and bring it back under federal control and we might start seeing some proper change.
That video got me thinking. I know this is a little off topic but here it is. If the world falls into a global economic collapse we are fucked right? Anarchy would rule. But, now strictly speaking U.S., do you think its possible that all the individual states could fracture and form there own unions. So New Hampshire would become its own country and rebuild its own economy? or do you think the U.S. would just become one giant "Middleeastern like" country with 90% of the people living in poverty and the government having little to know control? Just food for thought I guess.
Obama came in at the wrong time. George Bush was handed the keys to a brand new car, totaled it, tossed the keys to Obama and said "your problem now!" and then everyone is super pissed at Obama for having a shitty car.
why does everybody act like obama is the single person who crippled the economy?
it was on it's way to the shitter when bush was in office and he couldn't manage anything to prevent it
Hell no. Cascadia would form, and Alaska and Hawaii would break off and live a subsistence lifestyle. The rest of you might be fucked though, namely the deep south hicks who are looking for any excuse to use their guns...
of course all the ignorant fucks blame bush for this crisis. have people never heard of the Community reinvestment act? sure, bush went into afghanistan, but look up the AUMF. at least he asked congress several times before he went in as well as went in from of the UN 4 times in which he was granted to go in all four times. obama went into lybia without any consultation from congress OR the UN.
sure, bush was bad, but at least he fucking worked. last year, Obama took six vacation trips over 30 something days, in 2009, he had 60 days off on vacation. hes taking another vacation this upcoming week on martha's vineyard, costing taxpayers MILLIONS of dollars everyday for his stupidly large entourage. when he went to india this last year it cost 200 million dollars A FUCKING DAY for 10 days.
his fucking wife is worse. on her recent trip to spain, she cost us 2.2 million dollars per day. "They booked up 18 floors of the 5 star hotel, Los Alamos, and Michelle Obama used one floor just for her shoes" she makes trips to her local mall and BUYS OUT THE MALL FOR THE DAY. these people are fucking sociopaths that have no regard for money that they are spending MY money theyre spending.
You can't deny that a large chunk of Obama's votes were kids in their emerging adulthood who dealt with Bush fucking everything up during the past 8 years of their lives. And with a fresh election and zero political knowledge, it's not surprising that most chose to be contrarians and choose the hip black candidate without even considering policy.
please shut up. please learn how to interweb. just because someone "heard" it, or someone said this is correct, its not necessarily true.
please goddamn people, use your fucking brains once in a while. this is what is wrong with such discussions. totally wrong arguments are used to activate anger inside some fuckheads.
