Yes he is. He’s growing government even more by creating a new government agency. Woo hoo!!
A corrupt government looking out for dumb Americans bilked by a preditory financial system. What ever happened to morals and accountability (and intelligence)?
I would feel more protected if the government didn’t take half our money.
What a sick joke,this president is.He shoulda got an Oscar for best actor,but not the nobel,he damn sure doesnt promote peace,and damn sure doesnt care about the US,if he did he wouldnt be expanding all of george bush’s policies.and using american citizens an guinea pigs,to test the H1N1 poison.
Revolution is the only solution !
He did these things overnight,expanded iraq and afghan wars, bombing pakistan,stole 24 trillion dollars, took over GM,expanded the patriot act,expanded warentless wiretapping,giving 30 million illeagle aliens nationalization, if you cant see through this wall street puppet,then you are fukn blind!!!!
how do you implement financial reform? by spending? HA HA HA! What a joke.
barack obama will be the best president ever*******
YES!
I have to laugh at this.
The government is a joke by this point. Of course he gets some old African American woman to make everyone feel guilty. Barrack Obama has told too many lies to count.
The government needs to stay out of our lives!
Big business needs to stay out of our lives. Health insurance companies, credit card companies and mortgage companies have bankrupted millions of Americans.
Your business master poison everything including: the air, water, food, medicine and anything they can get their filthy hands on. They’ve made a killing on the backs of hard working Americans.
this is insane. were in trouble folks
I don’t need the government to help. I am perfectly happy to be used like a slave by big business.
They own me, and I’m their slave. But I don’t want to change that, because Reagan said that Government is the problem, and I still believe that even though that idea is 20 years out of date.
I don’t want to think. I’m just happy being a slave of my corporate masters.
reagan as we see was the problem,he said it himself.
Only because wages decreased.
And john mccain never told a lie?
Yeah, and 9.3 trillion out of our 11 trillion dollar debt came under Republican Administrations. The value of the dollar declined for 8 years under George Bush too. The worst attack on U.S. soil in our nations history came on the Republican’s watch. They ran the Presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court all at the same time, but did nothing on abortion. Now they’re trying to edit all the so called liberal verses out of the Bible. They’re perverse and sick people. All they care about is profits
Could you please explain in detail why what President Obama said in this video is insane? I just want to get a good idea why you don’t like it with clear points about why you believe it’s so bad.
Find it interesting Republicans come on here posting how crazy this is, but in no way can explain why they don’t like this and why it won’t even help them.
ahahahahaha obama… what a joke
“because it’s more spending!!!” lol, that’s your answer, heaven forbid we buy a helmet before riding a bike, or purchase an alarm system for our homes, or anything else which might be smart preemptive spending like fixing healthcare… or helping others get out of debt which puts a strain on our agencies….
Oh, I feel so bad for that lady at the beginning of this vid!! Please, Obama, hurry and fix the mess the republicans have made.
1)there is no greater predator to the people than the federal government. 2) the setup of the speech was a woman taking a loan she couldnt pay back, so I guess the loaner should have just taken a loss. 3) Obama was part of the promotion of low income loans to folks who couldnt make payments, triggering thethe bursting of housing bubble.
Woohoo! I love politics! Its all about playing the blame game. And guess what? Nothing (i repeat) Nothing gets done, only more blame and more criticism. WOOHOO! lets all strive to get nothing done and let the economy go further south. lets get in the game people!
