@mysteryman4ever1It is Stimulus 2.0. Let me ask you….If, a Trillion+ has not worked? Will a half trillion more do better? A few extemporaneousness handouts paid by permanent tax changes? It takes $2.89 paid into the Fed Government for every $1.00 the Fed hands out. So, who is really stimulated when the Government “stimulates” the economy? Seems that $1.89 generated, that Pelosi claims, is actually $1.89 in government growth. Not economic growth.

@legitjoshterrell ANOTHER HALF TRILLION DOLLARS THIS DUDE WANTS TO SPEND THAT WE DON’T HAVE COULD THIS POSSIBLY WORK
Its funny how Obama says t;hat he is bringing jobs and the jobs that he specifies are construction jobs. Construction jobs are the ones that are partime jobs and not long term. Does he really think ppl are stupid? Besides his speach is too much similar to Roosevelt if i can recall. Im 25 yrs old and its funny how ppl dont read between his lines.
@mzcorrupted1986 im viewing this for my govt class his plan is a joke, what the govnt needs to do is gett alot smaller, lower taxes on business, use our own fule and get rid of the dam lawyers and yes people rely are that stupid that’s why hes in office because “change and yes we can” people voted because he had a nice smile and said he could fix it.
@MsAparnell not the intelligent rout you get mad and attack the person not the idea this is the problem your no better than the redneck

@mysteryman4ever1 its not Obama or bush goddam people are dumb ass shit its us where lazy we don’t tell our congress men and senators what we want the president isn’t the one who runs the country he the face of our country he is the in charge of the army its the congress men and senators that vote on bills Obama just signs it and that’s not even important because the congressmen and senators can overrule it people need to go back to school and tale civics us history and govn’t. again
Look at Boner’s face, lol. He’s like a mood ring for how the republican’s really feel about what’s being said.
i would be one to help REBUILD AMERICA
Purley Political. Jobs for Union Workers. Decreasing future spending ‘increases’ to pay for this bill is a scam. All the while he is using the EPA and other Big Gov. agencies to regulate job providers out of business. Now, even Congressional Democrates are distancing themselves from this Saul Alinsky Clone.
Martin Luther King was Republican. Just as he did, I too have a DREAM. A dream that one day America will wake up and realize that the Democrat Party is the party of slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism. I have a dream that Republicans are finally recognized as the party that fought to free blacks from slavery and amended the Constitution to grant blacks freedom (13th Amendment), citizenship (14th) and the right to vote (15th), the Civil Rights Act, and NAACP. Wake up America!
@legitjoshterrell glad to hear theres atleast one non lazy smoker. and he hasnt shown that he would come through with anything. it to me honestly looks like he just wants votes. and hes the one we elected to represent us. along with others. but we dont have a direct democracy so we cant make all the decisions thaats what thoes elites are suposed to be doing.
1 question … Where is this money coming from when he says it will be paid for? We r in debt like trillions of dollars but he still says that it will benefit the economy by paying for businesses to hire people for construction etc. I just don’t get how it will all be payed for!
haha republican and democrat ties!!!!
i have to watch this for eng homework
Obama: Another failure at Americans expense. We expected something brave and bold and what did we receive? MORE OF THE SAME. Stimulus 2.0.
We paid for these exact things in stimulus 1.0, so why would we pay again for the same failures? Do you have any other companies that you want to play favorites with, and then find that they ripped us off? Quid Pro Quo perhaps? Time will tell.
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity.
NOBAMA 2012
0 progress on the economy,0 progress with our national debt,which he swore he would lower,he has raised it from 9 trillion to 15 trillion,war is worse than ever,0 progress on job creation.3 years in and “now” he realizes we need jobs.got our credit rating lowered for the 1st time in 75-100 years.Worse is he cant sell his policies ton the house or the senate,cant make them agree,Clinton did,Bush did,save your country America,get a new dem or Republican,but get rid of this failed president
They are just printing more money and increasing inflation. What we really need is a WW3.
Unemployment fell dramatically throughout the WW2, reaching a low of 1.2% by 1944. The real gross national product rose by 37% from 1941 to 1944.
World War 2 reduced unemployment and raised GNP.
The system requires a World War 3. The next Iran War may be a good start.
President Dumbass!
Beohner looks like a asshole….he has a asshole face.
PRESIDENT OBAMA UNTIL 2016!!! Also our beautiful First Lady Michelle Obama looks stunning. The most beautiful first lady ever.
@MrTUFFTALK
You do realize that if Obama gets elected until 2016, the debt will be about 21 trillion dollars right?
