Weekly Address: Time for Action on Financial Reform for the Economy
As a key committee in the Senate takes up reforming the ways of Wall Street, the President lays down a marker: I urge those in the Senate who support these reforms to remain strong, to resist the pressure from those who would preserve the status quo, to stand up for their constituents and our country. And I promise to use every tool at my disposal to see these reforms enacted: to ensure that the bill I sign into law reflects not the special interests of Wall Street, but the best interests of the American people.

It’s amazing to me how Republicans, and even sympathetic philosophers, should pick such a fight over capitalistic freedom over the issue of healthcare rather than the Bush bailout to GM, or perhaps even not finding Osama and WMD. Where was the fuss when Bush was in power, why were you all so silent when your country was falling apart? Why are you all so loud and obstinate now, when its nearly too late?
@Deryntia Because unlike Barokeydoke Hubris Obozo,GW didn’ try to act like he knew what was best for people and try to run their lives….he didn’t try to compel us to surrender our health care choices to some pissant bureaucrats,and he didn’t piss on our allies while sucking up to our enemies…..but I’m not surprised you find that ‘amazing’….you can’t even admit to yourself that Barokeydoke signed off on the GM and Chrysler bailout himself
@Armigerous
That doesn’t really respond to the overall difference in political affect from Republicans that seems completely out of proportion with the benefit thsi will cause for people to live. Don’t you guys realize your in a eugenics scoiety against the poor in the name of individual wealth? Something needs to change, you’ve had a year to bicker!. What are Jesus’ teachings for to the Christian right?
@Deryntia heh…well if eugenics is being practiced in the US,it is being conducted by outfits like Planned Parenthood that actually target poor minorities for abortions….and you can thank your liberal Democrat friends and people like Barokeydoke for that…they are all insisting on abortion funding in the health care bill…Jesus taught ALL of us to help each other…not to practice ‘compassion’ by expecting Rome do substitute for individual charity by taxing people beyond their means
up your nigger – Blazing Saddles………..
@Armigerous Did you kill yourself yet?
The board of directors of all major American banks should be arrested or preferably lynched. Those bastards nearly brought down the entire economic system for their own interest.
republicans suck ass, they are a walking contradiction, their arguments make no logical sense whatsoever. many of their followers are so ignorant that they arent even aware they are fighting stuff that would benefit themselves. Hope america is smart enough not to ellect those bastards to goverment ever again, bush was enough.

Do NOT associate with those given to CHANGE! The Lord has made all for Himself, Yes, Even the wicked for the day of doom. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty! Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him. And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. – Proverbs

Wow, America now has it’s first Dictator.
Glad I do not live in the USA or the new USSR.
@atgmam I have no idea why your comment was marked as ‘spam’….you should read my new ‘unauthorized biography’ about the boy….”Barack Obama: Nigga Hiter or Hitler’s Nigga?”
Obama Greatest American President Ever.
@PenultimateRun i thought he was. hopefully this glory seeking president doesn’t send this country into a worse fucking mess that we are already in. hopefully.
@Nuoz amen bro. amen.
You GOP are sooo full of shit. Do you not think intelligent people don’t realize, besides the scare tactics, now all of a sudden you are useing abortion which is clearly, for over 30 years has NOT been allowed. You GOP Liars are extreme;y funny. Your NO attitude, and your millions in campaign contributions, wheih you really were protecting are over. Dal with it. Great job Barack Cool. Yuo did it in 427 days which no other President could do. Hey Quitter. That Hopey Chengey Thing is working fine.
To boast a little. On here, a fcouple of days ago. I said they would get 218 votes, and they got 219. I would have liked 222 minimum. It would have looked better.
Armigerous: The ignorant racists lost today. S uck it, tea baggers.
OBAMA=FAIL! Impeach this puppet!
@jkfromcincty …heh…and as a result of this bill passing,lower class dweebs like you will be a ward of the state for the rest of your pitiful little life since you will be depending on ObozoCare for your medical treatment….just like prisoners or mental defectives…a ward of the state who surrendered his freedom willingly because he was too damn stupid to appreciate it’s true worth….congratulations….you are now a true peon…enjoy it when you have to stand in line with the wetbacks
The good new is we have health care, Yeh! The bad new is we have no job. Our apology to those whose just about to lose their jobs due to Govt. healthcare mandates on your employers. Look at the bright side we have healthcare. Yes, Victory, Success.
By the way college and high school students please pay your monthly healthcare bill on time so that we wont have to incarcerate your behinds.
Our next agenda is to focus on jobs. Our plan is to built a world wide government cheese industries that will create 20 millions new jobs. Thus unemployment will lower from 10% to 7%.
Yum, Yum, a block of government cheese. If you dont like cheese use it as door stopper. Still have one from Jimmy Carter period, hard as a brick.
It feels great when you do your part for your country. To quote President John F Kennedy “Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You, Ask What You Can Do For Your Country” and my God was he right. I stand behind any leader of this great nation, rather Republican or Democrat. I AM A AMERICAN.
Well,it looks to me like “Stinky Pussy” Robinson’s 3rd world bitch nigga baby daddy declared war last night..not only on me,but on most of the American people…so I’m sure the boy won’t mind if I proceed on the principle that turn about is fair play
