I love listening to this intelligent man speak. How lucky we are to live in a time which saw this man as president. Australia have had this type of healthcare for a long, long time and it works beautifully. Afterall, it is the duty of those in society who are well off to help out those wo are less fortunate.
For an American, Obama is a class act all round. A politician, a diplomat and a gentleman ...and a pretty cool guy, he's probably the closest thing America has to royalty.
As being someone who has traveled outside of America: visited parts of Europe and came back from Africa this summer I can assure you he is viewed as an idol that a lot of people admire in all countries except the U.S! He is a celebrity figure everywhere
well, most nations like him because he´s charismatic and black, There's certainly nothing wrong with that, but they aren't subject to his policies and their successes/consequences. So it's easy for them to love him. I don't know if your point is that americans should love him irrationally too, but he´s a politician like all other presidents and he deserves criticism when it´s due.
@@EJackmanIV really? By what, like 5% of the population? Is that different than it was for every other president, ever? There's plenty of good reasons to hate Obama. That minuscule percentage of the population that hated Obama for his color, doesn't make him subject to more irrational hate than praise.
hahaha i love his ableness to be funny, and not always so serious and uptight. "Actually, I was black before the election..." hahaha laughed my.. worldwide.. pants off(:
Everything he says is funny because he is the president. If he was the janitor you would not hear a word he said, even if he made these same points and had his degree.
respect to obama from the UK, all those getting disheartend with the dirty republican attacks recently just know the whole global community is with you!
Just remind you, U.S. citizens, how lucky it is to have a nation's leader like Obama. At least he is working on something that nobody else have DARED to touch.
I recognize it... I feel it every day. I've lost 60% of my wealth! Had two cars taken away. I've lived at home with Mom and Pop for a while. I've looked for work as far away as Lima, Peru. Great works have been done in deed! But I'm not bitter.

if it wasn't for those "commercials", youtube would fail. This website isn't "free" out of the kindness of anyones heart, and as well it doesn't run as smothly as it does, because a bunch of volunteers that are doing a damn fine job. It's all money my friend, all money. Just like commercials on T.V. or regular radio. Oh, you want radio commercial free? Ok, now you have to pay. See how that works?
It is usually the other way around as many hyper liberals threaten to leave if they don't get their way yet never do. Many also speak of utopias abroad yet never go to them,you'll notice there was nothing uncivil about my response, the man simply said he'll go to Canada i simply cheered him on to do so.

Its a matter of function of government, it is surrendering livelihood to the state, Europe is statist, Americans are not. It is a slippery slope to state fingers in all aspects of commerce and industry and a threat to personal freedoms and equity. You are not entitled to healthcare and a bureaucratic one I do not want. The government doesn't pay my light bill, my gas, my groceries, my car or house payment, the governemnt is not fficient enough to handle medical care either.
I know Obama didn't just put himself in the same sentence as Ronald Regan. Other than Obama also being a president thats the only thing he has in common or ever will have in common with Regan. He needs to compare himself more to Johnson or something like that, no way in hell is he anything close to Regan or will he ever be close to Regan.
becuase of reagan ussr budget increase for the military came at the expense of investment in the rest of the economy. Nikolai Leonov, a general in the KGB, described the result as follows: First there was a visible decline in the rate of growth, then its complete stagnation. There was a drawnout, deepening and almost insurmountable crisis in agriculture. It was a frightening and truly terrifying sign of crisis. It was these factors that were crucial in the transition to perestroika.
your sarcasm from your last comment means this to me: i am to understand and tolerate black racism based on the fact that blacks were treated unjustly in a time we are far from and that no longer exists and that most have not seen. i am to not speak out against racist blacks because of this...and i should take racist insults more humbly than i have because of this also. has nothing to do with me being ignorant....a label used in ignorance mostly these days. but i wont submit to that.
I agree with u. wish i had more options to vote for...its pretty pathetic when during the election there isnt any heated debates. america has become pretty pathetic. we are supposed to be a proud democracy...but how often do u see debates between our politicians that show true disagreement...show true passion why they believe what they do with reason...u wont see it...they calmly dance around everything and just smile..we have a sham democracy of 2 parties in bed together. we're corrupt.
i have no such guilt.....i very much understand that most racism comes from black people. thats why im disgusted by the media always covering up all the dead from it, and rapes from it, and the promotion of it in the black community. i just let blacks be racist to me to show my point....just as u came along and seen him calling me racist just for being white..and then he degrades me for being white...and then he calls me racist...that is the double standard and reality in america. glad u see it
TX Medicaid system only will help me NOW if I get pregnant. To me, I would rather support one person, rather than them and their child they cannot afford. For me to get pregnant would be an act of stupidity/desperation due to lack of health insurance. My severe Narcolepsy with Cataplexy, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Lymes Disease, and Diabetes, I did NOTHING to contract. Pregnancy, except for cases of Rape/Incest is self-caused. Why only help the pregnant?
i think u have a good point there....you know what would be cool i think? if obama went on shows like that and gave we the people a speech about his/our goals, progress, and troubles and he took questions from every day Americans at these venues....just an idea. i think it would be cooler than watching him and dave flirt with each other..lol jk.
yes i know, and i ask why u arent giving this lesson to the one with racially charged hate. MLK. anyways, all and all thats why i said your logic sounds sick and ill add twisted too... just doesnt sound "sound" to me no matter your skin color...u can submit to that but i wont.
What's really funny is that Obama has turned out to be not as far to the Left as the Left thought he was, very funny!!,,,I hope he starts giving tax breaks and starts saying things like "Drill baby drill" next, that would really push the left over the edge.
Baseball, entertainers, singers? I think you are confused, you shouldn't have dropped out of high school. And the only reason that there are rappers is because they were too lazy to do anything else like get a real job and not waste it on garbage.
Ahaha. Massive government spending got us out of the great depression. LOL. So did the massive spending of FDR take 10+ years to have effect? 1932-1945 the economy was in the tanker. It wasn't till post WW2 and post FDR that things turned around.
aww poor obama...he is just FDR in 2009god he makes me want to puke. at least he got rid of communist van jones who was a self proclaimed communist....which is why we call him communist...
i love how north korea is bout to nuec us and this guys on the lettermen show... hahaha actually, north korea's neucs can probably barely make it to the ocean, well be fine...
Basic concepts of phonetics and grammar = weak? Since when? I could use that same logic and think "Wow, a bigot is insulting a multi-racial president." That's weak too.
What a collection of disgusting comments. Too bad integrity has gone out the window and people have to express themselves in such raw terms. How about making a civilized comment that shows some kind of intelligence.
@JustA1337Gamer The best President we've ever seen is over a century gone & I don't see anyone better coming along. I do support Obama &I'll be honest, I'm not big on politics, so I don't get everything that happens. I can't give a legit opinion. But I will probably not change my mind on Obama. I think he's inspiring as a person, which is probably why I won't change my opinion. As a President-I'm in the middle. I think he is doing fine, but who am I to speak? I can't even vote.
@JustA1337Gamer I think you'll see that in my comment I said, "They'll kill any Democrats at my school,," b/c where I live it's ridiculous how they praise him. There's a huge billboard with his picture and it says "MISS ME YET?" & they just love him to pieces. They talk so much crap about him being a 'terrorist' and how he's stupid and doesn't know crap, and when I wrote that comment most comments beneath mine were just being rude to him. I just got annoyed and said something about it, here.
And just off-handedly calling one a thug and dismissing my point of view without any reasonable explanation is what happens when you trade debate for debacle: I said I think he's honest, sensical and has integrity. I did not say he is perfect. He will lie, make mistakes. He is a politican, only human- but I DO think he will at least TRY to be honest, logical, and keep his integrity as much as a politician might be able to. That is my viewpoint explained rationally- can you do the same?
Wow. And what exactly are you people accomplishing by descending into pathetic arguments and name calling? Both sides have their downsides, why don't we just stop all this madness and actually try and work together. Because what you guys are doing right now aint accomplishing shit. I still support Obama, but that doesn't mean I think he's perfect. I have no problem with criticism, but it has to be constructive and not an attempt to discredit an opponent just because you voted for the other guy.
Obama has handled the Health care issue badly,Hillary would not have made so many rookie mistakes if she was President now,Obama should have waited and served as VP under Hillary,hte Vice Predicency can be a ''learning curve'' as well. Also Obama is not really a ''washington outsider'' that was just rhetoric to get the attention of voters[including independants] at the time,you cant call yourself an ''agent of change'' when you belong to the same two party system.
"I think its important to remember I was black before the election." "Really?" "This is true..." "How long have you been a black man?" ROTFL! THAT'S why he's such a great TV President! PArt of it anyway... deadpan humor... and Reagan had some of that, too, from days as an actor... Common sense, honesty, and integrity- What a concept... politicians that don't invent death panel rumors to scare or blanketly call the right wing nutjobs... An actual leader... hmm... could work...
Is it a coincidence that two of the most popular one-arty presidents (Reagan loved by the GOP and hated by the Demmies, Obama the other way around) are the best TV Presidents in history? Say what you will about them (and I like both... I'm a Democrat, and I was born in 1990, so I missed the Reagan years, but he seems to have been a good President overall and a nice guy, and the same's true of Obama) but BOTH: -Are/Were great on TV -Gave their nation a boost -Spent a LOT of money ;)
Holy wood!-- I mean, Holy cow! joker, You keep repeating yourself on that lame assertion. So, what do you mean by 'we' kimo sabe?Are you part of that equation? or are you on the Muslim's side? Even if your speculation is true, how do we segregate the Jihadists & Islamists killed, who were actually trying to kill American soldiers in that war, to actual civilian collateral damage? Bottom line, you're just repeating what you're hearing from soundbites with no solid proof on your claim.
I wonder why such self confessed intellectuals would engage in political brow beating in UA-cam? Aren't there forums for this, or better yet, jobs which would bring the likes of kodakchrome64 closer to the decision making process? Also the Obama administration has quite a number of avenues through which to express dissent, and have it heard. Why trawl here, do something to make a difference and have your concerns really noted.
Why is that smiling spook on so many Hollywood shows? He loves the camera more than Sharpton does. Brave Americans are dying in wars and need additional troops and all Obama does is laugh it up with a washed up comedian. Christ, could we please elect a real president next time? Also, why is the 60-plus Letterman stil making jokes about Bush and the 2000 election? How boring and dated! And old Dave thinks his humor is so cutting edge? I mean, is he going to start making Hula-Hoop jokes next?
I know. This guy cracks me up. The reason liberals dont agrue is because we come from a fact-based position with examples, statistics, and history to back it up. And they just keep goin in circles when losing a point. Its just like every conservative I've argued with. They argue from cynicsm and a broad, non-fact-based, uneducated, simplistic, and selfish point of view. It's like arguing with a 4 year old. So most of us just sit back and get entertained instead of even bothering
I'd rather be seen as condescending than a 8 year old with learning difficulties, childish insults do not make a convincing argument, you don't appear to understand this. try expressing an argument rather than spewing your narrow minded republican crap. If you spent as much time thinking about politics as you do thinking up (what are apparently to you) witty insults you might gain some insight into the subject. After many years of progressive politics
This president is articulate and compassionate. This is what I want in an elected leader. He is not making me happy with all of his choices. I do not think it possible to have someone make decisions for a country of many and please me only. His mother had her troubles financially, and physically including all the paper problems with the insurance companies when she got sick. He gets the poor and the rich.
One of mankinds greatest achievements happened because of the America's contribution, creativity & ingenuity, in that short 233 yrs. span (one of my driving point). I named two & plenty that I can further enumerate--but you can't name even one to drive your point. So you "see the way things are"--that explains why a lot of Libs like you are visually reliant & so limited in intellectual scope--an analytical & critical thinker sees things way beyond what they see, and apply logic to it.
IF he cheated on his girlfriend (we don't know where they were in their relationship or what their understanding is) then sure, that's wrong. But that doesn't make him a sexual predator. that's the only point i'm making. Statistically 60% of men, and 40% of women cheat on their spouses - so it is wrong, but you can mischaracterize this situation just because this guys a celebrity.
That would be a really hard decision but I think I'd let them be born because I as a human don't feel like I have the right to end a life and deprive them of any earthly experiences. Again, it would be a really hard decision and I might not have such any easy time deciding if that actually happened. Generally, though, when you compare how many conjoined twins are aborted compared to how many perfectly healthy babies are aborted it's horrible.
1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. 2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory. 3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles. GM?, Banks?, Redistribution of wealth?, Cap and Trade?
This guy just can't seem to get his face out of the front of a camera. He always has to be on TV, he's always gotta be chiming in on every little thing that happens in the news. He's had almost as many prime time news conferences in his 1st year than all the Presidents before him in the era of Television did in their 4-8 year terms.He's constantly campaigning. He needs to start governing which is way different. I'm also surprised that Letterman didn't get down on his knee's and kiss his hand
You should then move because you are supposed to start a sentence with a capital letter. You are also supposed to capitalize the first letter A in American. While we are at it, learn that you should have also capitalized the letter E in English and that the letter u isn't an actual word. The word "you" is spelled out with the letters "y" "o" "u". You should have used the word have instead of got in you last sentence if you can call it a sentence.
African societies never sold "their own people" to European traders. Slaves were often captured from other warring kingdoms, or poor outsiders who were willingly working for food and a place to stay - which brings us to the bigger issue. African slavery before the european slave trade was COMPLETELY different that what we know conventional slavery to be. Slaves were able to own property, and were protected under law, as well as given greater social mobility. Stop w/ the misinformation.
vivey dear I was talking about the slaves that resided in africa with there "masters" before they went with the europeans to america etc another commenter was trying to say the same old same old about the kings would sell there own people to the white man but I was letting him know that the treatment of slaves then with the kings and noblemen of africa was completely different from that of the american slave trade etc i have done my research I live in Chas SC one of the ports of slavery i know
yea, in fact "change" doesn't happen at all when the seeds of change are $8000 credits to buy homes that sellers are being forced at gunpoint to sell, and $4900 is given to people who buy cars that will depreciate more than $4900 the first day they own them. Don't even get me started on bailing out the banks who caused all the problems in the first place. There's not space on this blog to enter all the zeros that's gonna cost you.
The lines are so blurry now between show biz and politics, it's no wonder we have a "Rock Star President", and Wall Street's attack on society seems so scripted. I just wish one of the actors would break out of character, and tell the audience they were sorry for their failure to protect us. Their incompetance or their corruption (take your pick) cost us our homes, our retirements, and our peace of mind, and no amount of charm or charisma will ever make me feel good about that. Suicide is up 28%
poeple will complain about anyhting. Its kind of like the weather..when summer arrives a person will complain about the heat. When winter arrives the same person will complain about the cold. when fall arrives the person will complain about there being too many leaves....good bye :) btw we elected him and he hasnt been impeached so in the eyes of the professionals he must be doing something right...see you later guys
mr. heinchmannnn, you'll note that i never said anything about hating you. and i'm also not sure what "logic" you are referring to, since I did not actually make any argument. in fact i don't hate you, but i am astounded by your myopic ignorance. for the record, i too am white (forbears emigrated to the U.S. from northern europe in the 19th century) -- if it really matters to you. It's "not the color of their skin but the content of their character" -- remember who said that?
@Bigbad1000do7a hmmmm. If you struggled with vocabulary at school it is almost certainly not your fault. It is the way you were taught. What we are going to do here is upgrade u. Level 1 teach you an extensive vocabulary and basic grammar in 10-12 hours, enough to communicate effectively in a large number of situations you will meet . It is ideal for internet usage, Business, what the heck, your job can't require it; or parenting and for all ages. DO NOT procreate till addressed!
@Jsnheinichmannnn Shortened your name. Too long. Nuttin' but love. I feel your pain 'bro'. Is there racism in black society? You better believe it. Consider: 'double barelled name' {ethnic name}, a bit of 'change' and an 'edumacation'. Whites - love it. Blacks - 'where is HE from'? Point i'm making? If i was chinese, i'd be like "Yall don't say sh*! about us" Only black and white. In the interim, don't let them see you sweat. Like a swan, graceful but paddling like hell.
orenjiotoku - Ur so right! America hasn't had a stateman in decades, just 4-decade politicians who represent big govt. not the people. Revolution is Coming to Ameria!! 'cause of both pol. parties support each other. If u read 1 book this year, read it 1. It's great!! It's about what going to coming nxt from our federal tyranny!! Power to the People......become an activist (booksbyoliver. com)
America is so lucky to have a leader like that he is so relaxed and makes his points without all the hoohaa that comes along with politics maybe some wont agree with him going on the show but it shows imo that he is a down to earth man who just wants the best for his country it gets shown across the US and there is no better way in getting your views and points to the public by going on a show that is broadcast to the public I just wish he was Brittish so we could vote him in for Prime Minister
im from the asian region who is also aware and have care for the United States, lets all give chance to Obama, Bush left with a lot of problems that Obama is currently facing, those problem is not just a simple problem, so let us give him time to adjust and fix things, HOW BOUT THOSE WHO OPPOSED HIM, have you guys done something for your country or countrymen, or you guys are just there to criticize, look at yourself first on the mirror before you look at otehrs fault.
Im tired of seeing people comment, O UR DEMOCRAT UR DUMB, or UR REPUBLICAN UR DUMB, seriously valid ideas can come from both sides, neither of them are perfect, and one isn't more superior than the other. This is why politics is so fucked up is because people will choose sides only because theres a few things that they agree with, there's no open minded thinking it's either black or white and it annoys the shit out of me.
Please... most correct guy ever, yeah right... I'll go on youtube instead of doing something work related, which is actually a part of my "job". Priorities, right? You see? you're not always on work. And wanting a president that runs meetings and plans 24/7 is a pretty difficult task, check the human rights.
@JustA1337Gamer Yeah, my severely liberal friend considered herself part of the Democrats for years and then when she looked up politics even more (which I don't get how she could do that, it's ridiculous how much someone as young as her knows about politics) she switched to Libertarianism. I've read a bit about it and so far I agree with what I've read.
LOL. That's pretty funny. How do you know I have a lard ass? I admit it's not as good as it was when I was 18, but still, it's pretty good. Now, to your answers. So stupid. "ACORN", "teleprompter" Do you just spread wide and let Rush and Beck shove it in? BTW, thanks for turning me on the thebobandtomshow. I got the coolest clips of Tommy Emmanuel on there. :)
Such a cool headed president. America misses your administration, Mr. President. We have a weird dude in the Oval Office now.
so very proud of our president...
So very proud.
Its great to see world leaders in this kind of more informal setting, you would never see Gordon brown appear on Jonathan ross's friday night show.
Kind of like how you forgot your first grade education by not knowing the difference between "your" and "you're"? :(

respect to obama from the UK, all those getting disheartend with the dirty republican attacks recently just know the whole global community is with you!
this is one of the best ways i've ever heard it explained. i agree 100%
how comforting. all of the issues going on in the united states and world. and the "president" is on the letterman show...just great. hard at work.
I love my president!
Trump right !!!
Kenneth Morgan She said president. Not joke.

Two funny legends💪🏻🇩🇰
Look how he validates people's disagreement and anger with him. Donald would call them his enemies.
2020 anyone?
He will go down in history as great president! Some day people recognize this.
He has a great balance of pride and humility.
The calm before the storm
And I love his relationship with Letterman
Horrible president. Birth certificate ever dislclosed ?
Great light hearted interview
And now V President Kamala Harris in 2021
I was black before the Election 🗳 respect ✊
im not from the US but i love this man!
That's why you love him.
Where's the part where they discuss bowling? (NOTE: This clip is only an excerpt of this historic appearance.)

Its a matter of function of government, it is surrendering livelihood to the state, Europe is statist, Americans are not.
It is a slippery slope to state fingers in all aspects of commerce and industry and a threat to personal freedoms and equity.
You are not entitled to healthcare and a bureaucratic one I do not want.
The government doesn't pay my light bill, my gas, my groceries, my car or house payment, the governemnt is not fficient enough to handle medical care either.
I know Obama didn't just put himself in the same sentence as Ronald Regan. Other than Obama also being a president thats the only thing he has in common or ever will have in common with Regan.

I don't think presidents should subject themselves to gossip shows, i mean can you imagine if obama appeared in the next beyonce video?
I see Obama and I feel a song of praise coming on... MMM MMM MMM Barack Hussein Obama... MMM MMM MMM

For me to get pregnant would be an act of stupidity/desperation due to lack of health insurance. My severe Narcolepsy with Cataplexy, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Lymes Disease, and Diabetes, I did NOTHING to contract. Pregnancy, except for cases of Rape/Incest is self-caused. Why only help the pregnant?
i think u have a good point there....you know what would be cool i think? if obama went on shows like that and gave we the people a speech about his/our goals, progress, and troubles and he took questions from every day Americans at these venues....just an idea. i think it would be cooler than watching him and dave flirt with each other..lol jk.
yes i know, and i ask why u arent giving this lesson to the one with racially charged hate. MLK.
anyways, all and all thats why i said your logic sounds sick and ill add twisted too...
just doesnt sound "sound" to me no matter your skin color...u can submit to that but i wont.
What's really funny is that Obama has turned out to be not as far to the Left as the Left thought he was, very funny!!,,,I hope he starts giving tax breaks and starts saying things like "Drill baby drill" next, that would really push the left over the edge.
Baseball, entertainers, singers? I think you are confused, you shouldn't have dropped out of high school. And the only reason that there are rappers is because they were too lazy to do anything else like get a real job and not waste it on garbage.
Ahaha. Massive government spending got us out of the great depression. LOL.
So did the massive spending of FDR take 10+ years to have effect? 1932-1945 the economy was in the tanker. It wasn't till post WW2 and post FDR that things turned around.
@Icetitan777 He was born in Hawai and then went to indonesia.. am I not right? o well..
Well done pal, prove Jimmy Carter right. And make Obama's opposition look like tools.
aww poor obama...he is just FDR in 2009god he makes me want to puke.
at least he got rid of communist van jones who was a self proclaimed communist....which is why we call him communist...
i love how north korea is bout to nuec us and this guys on the lettermen show... hahaha
actually, north korea's neucs can probably barely make it to the ocean, well be fine...
Basic concepts of phonetics and grammar = weak? Since when?
I could use that same logic and think "Wow, a bigot is insulting a multi-racial president." That's weak too.
What a collection of disgusting comments. Too bad integrity has gone out the window and people have to express themselves in such raw terms. How about making a civilized comment
that shows some kind of intelligence.
I miss W. That man was funny!
if you wanna make change should go out and rally, work for non-profits, sign petitions, etc. You shouldn't sit around and have youtube comment fights.
miguelayala1991 give it a rest. He has THREE MORE YEARS people. You cannot change or correct the world over night, yet alone ONE damn year in office.
it's funny, because he hasn't followed through with his campaign platform at all
@JustA1337Gamer The best President we've ever seen is over a century gone & I don't see anyone better coming along. I do support Obama &I'll be honest, I'm not big on politics, so I don't get everything that happens. I can't give a legit opinion. But I will probably not change my mind on Obama. I think he's inspiring as a person, which is probably why I won't change my opinion. As a President-I'm in the middle. I think he is doing fine, but who am I to speak? I can't even vote.
@JustA1337Gamer I think you'll see that in my comment I said, "They'll kill any Democrats at my school,," b/c where I live it's ridiculous how they praise him. There's a huge billboard with his picture and it says "MISS ME YET?" & they just love him to pieces. They talk so much crap about him being a 'terrorist' and how he's stupid and doesn't know crap, and when I wrote that comment most comments beneath mine were just being rude to him. I just got annoyed and said something about it, here.
And just off-handedly calling one a thug and dismissing my point of view without any reasonable explanation is what happens when you trade debate for debacle:
I said I think he's honest, sensical and has integrity. I did not say he is perfect. He will lie, make mistakes. He is a politican, only human- but I DO think he will at least TRY to be honest, logical, and keep his integrity as much as a politician might be able to.
That is my viewpoint explained rationally- can you do the same?
Wow. And what exactly are you people accomplishing by descending into pathetic arguments and name calling? Both sides have their downsides, why don't we just stop all this madness and actually try and work together. Because what you guys are doing right now aint accomplishing shit. I still support Obama, but that doesn't mean I think he's perfect. I have no problem with criticism, but it has to be constructive and not an attempt to discredit an opponent just because you voted for the other guy.
Obama has handled the Health care issue badly,Hillary would not have made so many rookie mistakes if she was President now,Obama should have waited and served as VP under Hillary,hte Vice Predicency can be a ''learning curve'' as well.
Also Obama is not really a ''washington outsider'' that was just rhetoric to get the attention of voters[including independants] at the time,you cant call yourself an ''agent of change'' when you belong to the same two party system.
"I think its important to remember I was black before the election."
"Really?"
"This is true..."
"How long have you been a black man?"
ROTFL!
THAT'S why he's such a great TV President! PArt of it anyway... deadpan humor... and Reagan had some of that, too, from days as an actor...
Common sense, honesty, and integrity-
What a concept... politicians that don't invent death panel rumors to scare or blanketly call the right wing nutjobs...
An actual leader... hmm... could work...
Is it a coincidence that two of the most popular one-arty presidents (Reagan loved by the GOP and hated by the Demmies, Obama the other way around) are the best TV Presidents in history?
Say what you will about them (and I like both... I'm a Democrat, and I was born in 1990, so I missed the Reagan years, but he seems to have been a good President overall and a nice guy, and the same's true of Obama) but BOTH:
-Are/Were great on TV
-Gave their nation a boost
-Spent a LOT of money
;)
Holy wood!-- I mean, Holy cow! joker, You keep repeating yourself on that lame assertion.
So, what do you mean by 'we' kimo sabe?Are you part of that equation? or are you on the Muslim's side?
Even if your speculation is true, how do we segregate the Jihadists & Islamists killed, who were actually trying to kill American soldiers in that war, to actual civilian collateral damage?
Bottom line, you're just repeating what you're hearing from soundbites with no solid proof on your claim.
I wonder why such self confessed intellectuals would engage in political brow beating in UA-cam? Aren't there forums for this, or better yet, jobs which would bring the likes of kodakchrome64 closer to the decision making process? Also the Obama administration has quite a number of avenues through which to express dissent, and have it heard. Why trawl here, do something to make a difference and have your concerns really noted.
Why is that smiling spook on so many Hollywood shows? He loves the camera more than Sharpton does. Brave Americans are dying in wars and need additional troops and all Obama does is laugh it up with a washed up comedian. Christ, could we please elect a real president next time? Also, why is the 60-plus Letterman stil making jokes about Bush and the 2000 election? How boring and dated! And old Dave thinks his humor is so cutting edge? I mean, is he going to start making Hula-Hoop jokes next?
I know. This guy cracks me up. The reason liberals dont agrue is because we come from a fact-based position with examples, statistics, and history to back it up. And they just keep goin in circles when losing a point. Its just like every conservative I've argued with. They argue from cynicsm and a broad, non-fact-based, uneducated, simplistic, and selfish point of view. It's like arguing with a 4 year old. So most of us just sit back and get entertained instead of even bothering
I'd rather be seen as condescending than a 8 year old with learning difficulties, childish insults do not make a convincing argument, you don't appear to understand this. try expressing an argument rather than spewing your narrow minded republican crap. If you spent as much time thinking about politics as you do thinking up (what are apparently to you) witty insults you might gain some insight into the subject. After many years of progressive politics
This president is articulate and compassionate. This is what I want in an elected leader.
He is not making me happy with all of his choices. I do not think it possible to have someone make decisions for a country of many and please me only.
His mother had her troubles financially, and physically including all the paper problems with the insurance companies when she got sick.
He gets the poor and the rich.
One of mankinds greatest achievements happened because of the America's contribution, creativity & ingenuity, in that short 233 yrs. span (one of my driving point).
I named two & plenty that I can further enumerate--but you can't name even one to drive your point.
So you "see the way things are"--that explains why a lot of Libs like you are visually reliant & so limited in intellectual scope--an analytical & critical thinker sees things way beyond what they see, and apply logic to it.
IF he cheated on his girlfriend (we don't know where they were in their relationship or what their understanding is) then sure, that's wrong. But that doesn't make him a sexual predator. that's the only point i'm making. Statistically 60% of men, and 40% of women cheat on their spouses - so it is wrong, but you can mischaracterize this situation just because this guys a celebrity.
That would be a really hard decision but I think I'd let them be born because I as a human don't feel like I have the right to end a life and deprive them of any earthly experiences. Again, it would be a really hard decision and I might not have such any easy time deciding if that actually happened. Generally, though, when you compare how many conjoined twins are aborted compared to how many perfectly healthy babies are aborted it's horrible.
1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.
GM?, Banks?, Redistribution of wealth?, Cap and Trade?
This guy just can't seem to get his face out of the front of a camera.
He always has to be on TV, he's always gotta be chiming in on every little thing that happens in the news.
He's had almost as many prime time news conferences in his 1st year than all the Presidents before him in the era of Television did in their 4-8 year terms.He's constantly campaigning. He needs to start governing which is way different.
I'm also surprised that Letterman didn't get down on his knee's and kiss his hand
You should then move because you are supposed to start a sentence with a capital letter. You are also supposed to capitalize the first letter A in American. While we are at it, learn that you should have also capitalized the letter E in English and that the letter u isn't an actual word. The word "you" is spelled out with the letters "y" "o" "u". You should have used the word have instead of got in you last sentence if you can call it a sentence.
African societies never sold "their own people" to European traders.
Slaves were often captured from other warring kingdoms, or poor outsiders who were willingly working for food and a place to stay - which brings us to the bigger issue.
African slavery before the european slave trade was COMPLETELY different that what we know conventional slavery to be.
Slaves were able to own property, and were protected under law, as well as given greater social mobility.
Stop w/ the misinformation.
vivey dear I was talking about the slaves that resided in africa with there "masters" before they went with the europeans to america etc another commenter was trying to say the same old same old about the kings would sell there own people to the white man but I was letting him know that the treatment of slaves then with the kings and noblemen of africa was completely different from that of the american slave trade etc i have done my research I live in Chas SC one of the ports of slavery i know
yea, in fact "change" doesn't happen at all when the seeds of change are $8000 credits to buy homes that sellers are being forced at gunpoint to sell, and $4900 is given to people who buy cars that will depreciate more than $4900 the first day they own them. Don't even get me started on bailing out the banks who caused all the problems in the first place. There's not space on this blog to enter all the zeros that's gonna cost you.
The lines are so blurry now between show biz and politics, it's no wonder we have a "Rock Star President", and Wall Street's attack on society seems so scripted. I just wish one of the actors would break out of character, and tell the audience they were sorry for their failure to protect us. Their incompetance or their corruption (take your pick) cost us our homes, our retirements, and our peace of mind, and no amount of charm or charisma will ever make me feel good about that. Suicide is up 28%
poeple will complain about anyhting. Its kind of like the weather..when summer arrives a person will complain about the heat. When winter arrives the same person will complain about the cold. when fall arrives the person will complain about there being too many leaves....good bye :) btw we elected him and he hasnt been impeached so in the eyes of the professionals he must be doing something right...see you later guys
mr. heinchmannnn,
you'll note that i never said anything about hating you. and i'm also not sure what "logic" you are referring to, since I did not actually make any argument. in fact i don't hate you, but i am astounded by your myopic ignorance.
for the record, i too am white (forbears emigrated to the U.S. from northern europe in the 19th century) -- if it really matters to you.
It's "not the color of their skin but the content of their character" -- remember who said that?
@Bigbad1000do7a
hmmmm. If you struggled with vocabulary at school it is almost certainly not your fault.
It is the way you were taught. What we are going to do here is upgrade u. Level 1 teach you an extensive vocabulary and basic grammar in 10-12 hours, enough to communicate effectively in a large number of situations you will meet .
It is ideal for internet usage, Business, what the heck, your job can't require it; or parenting and for all ages.
DO NOT procreate till addressed!
@Jsnheinichmannnn
Shortened your name. Too long. Nuttin' but love.
I feel your pain 'bro'. Is there racism in black society? You better believe it.
Consider: 'double barelled name' {ethnic name}, a bit of 'change' and an 'edumacation'.
Whites - love it. Blacks - 'where is HE from'?
Point i'm making? If i was chinese, i'd be like "Yall don't say sh*! about us" Only black and white. In the interim, don't let them see you sweat. Like a swan, graceful but paddling like hell.
orenjiotoku - Ur so right! America hasn't had a stateman in decades, just 4-decade politicians who represent big govt. not the people.
Revolution is Coming to Ameria!! 'cause of both pol. parties support each other. If u read 1 book this year, read it 1. It's great!! It's about what going to coming nxt from our federal tyranny!!
Power to the People......become an activist
(booksbyoliver. com)
America is so lucky to have a leader like that he is so relaxed and makes his points without all the hoohaa that comes along with politics maybe some wont agree with him going on the show but it shows imo that he is a down to earth man who just wants the best for his country it gets shown across the US and there is no better way in getting your views and points to the public by going on a show that is broadcast to the public
I just wish he was Brittish so we could vote him in for Prime Minister
im from the asian region who is also aware and have care for the United States, lets all give chance to Obama, Bush left with a lot of problems that Obama is currently facing, those problem is not just a simple problem, so let us give him time to adjust and fix things, HOW BOUT THOSE WHO OPPOSED HIM, have you guys done something for your country or countrymen, or you guys are just there to criticize, look at yourself first on the mirror before you look at otehrs fault.
Im tired of seeing people comment, O UR DEMOCRAT UR DUMB, or UR REPUBLICAN UR DUMB, seriously valid ideas can come from both sides, neither of them are perfect, and one isn't more superior than the other. This is why politics is so fucked up is because people will choose sides only because theres a few things that they agree with, there's no open minded thinking it's either black or white and it annoys the shit out of me.
Please... most correct guy ever, yeah right... I'll go on youtube instead of doing something work related, which is actually a part of my "job". Priorities, right?
You see? you're not always on work. And wanting a president that runs meetings and plans 24/7 is a pretty difficult task, check the human rights.
@JustA1337Gamer Yeah, my severely liberal friend considered herself part of the Democrats for years and then when she looked up politics even more (which I don't get how she could do that, it's ridiculous how much someone as young as her knows about politics) she switched to Libertarianism. I've read a bit about it and so far I agree with what I've read.
LOL. That's pretty funny. How do you know I have a lard ass? I admit it's not as good as it was when I was 18, but still, it's pretty good. Now, to your answers. So stupid. "ACORN", "teleprompter" Do you just spread wide and let Rush and Beck shove it in? BTW, thanks for turning me on the thebobandtomshow. I got the coolest clips of Tommy Emmanuel on there. :)
