Dear Friend, there is no need for emotions, especially intense ones in a logical discourse. I respect your opinion and only ponder its substance. I will not accuse you of any ulterior motives and will not label you with any political, philosophical, or derogatory terms for that matter. This way we can learn from each other. Now, back to the subject of President Obama’s achievements. You understand that this is a democracy and presidents are bound within the limitations defined by law.

@Crimble67 Oh, and when did Obama close Guantanamo Bay? Oh yeah, he hasn’t. I took three years an d thousands more innocent lives on both sides of the war to pull the troops out of Iraq, something Obama campaigned he would accomplish immediately upon taking office, he has WIDENED the war in Afghanistan and pushed into Pakistan and is now beating the war drums to invade Iran and or Syria…maybe you are only 12, no adult could be so dumb.

@TheKangarlu And Clinton had absolutely nothing to do with the boom years in the 1990′s, that was due to the technological boom in the computer/internet revolution. No politician has any influence or impact on such things. However, it is a well known fact that a TRUE conservative, limited government is the best friend to the economy, politicians and bureaucrats know nothing about running a business, only how to fleece one!
January 25th, 2012 - 11:24
@TheKangarlu Ahahahahahahaha, Riiight, Bush would have made it worse, but not Obama, well you obviously don’t know the difference between the U3 unemployment figures and the U6 which is the TRUE account including people who have given up looking and those who have fallen off the unemployment roles. NO, things have gotten much, much worse and liberals and progressives are nothing more than dupes and useful idiots for the marxist/zionists who run the U.S. via Israel.

@Crimble67 And thank you for the kind comment of “I highly doubt you are 14 sir”. I will definitely put that on my resume when I finish high school
January 25th, 2012 - 12:42
@Crimble67 And one more thing. when I said stabilized the economy, I did not say he brought it back to the way it was in the Clinton years, I meant that he just stopped it from going even lower. I understand that many are unemployed, but YOU must understand that if Bush were president, the number would’ve been much greater. And seriously, I AM 15. Seriously, no joke. Look at my channel if you don’t believe me. I swear I am. Just a non-ignorant one who comes from a well educated family.
January 25th, 2012 - 13:05
@Crimble67 Also, I’m not a communist. If I’m correct, I believe I am a liberal, or a progressive. Not a Communist. Trust me, I know the difference, I am studying about it right now because I am skipping 2 grades, so my History is great.
January 25th, 2012 - 13:56
@Crimble67 Dude I’m Actually 15, you’re right, I did lie. I am not really angry at you, I’m just trying to inform you that the Obama administration has been doing much better then under the Bush Admin. He is cleaning up the mess that Bush created, and we both know that. Seriously, you can’t blame Obama for the war BUSH started. You can’t blame Obama for the unemployment rate that began it’s downfall under the Bush Admin! It’s just a bit frustrating that the anger goes toward the wrong person
January 25th, 2012 - 13:59
@TheKangarlu Oh yeah, and I highly doubt that you are 14 sir, I can spot a leftist shill a mile away, SIR. Sorry, but fourteen year olds don’t speak (or comment) that way, Sir. Nice try commie!
January 25th, 2012 - 14:50
@TheKangarlu Yeah right, EVERY president “accomplishes” those things on your list, things that are just hot air, tell the 25 million unemployed that the economy is stabilized, tell the innocent people who have been killed by the tens of thousands in Afghanistan and Pakistan that Obama is a man of peace, not to mention that Obama just signed the most tyrannical piece of legislation to ever come before a U.S. president yesterday with the NDAA which allows indefinite detention of American citizens.

@Crimble67 Obama:
1) overhauled the food safety system
2)Expanded CHIP
3)Expanded access to medical care and provided subsidies for people who can’t afford it
4)Invested in Clean Energy
5) Gave help to 9/11 Victims
6) Got Osama
6) ENDED THE IRAQ WAR THAT BUSH STARTED
7) Stabilized the economy that began its downfall under Bush Admin.
Seriously man, I’m 14 and my facts are straighter than yours.
If a conservative saw his resume without his name, the’y worship him. You “sir” deny the truth.

@Crimble67
thank you for your suggestion, I will certainly produce this follow up. If you or anybody else have some further suggestion then please let me know, it helps to generate the energy I need to go out and make another video
January 25th, 2012 - 16:33
@magauchsein Can you do a follow up video to this one asking “the people” what Obama has changed from the Bush years? If they like the fact that Obama has expanded the wars in Afghanistan and into Pakistan killing thousands within the borders of that sovereign nation, in essence committing war crimes like Bush did? Oh, I forgot, Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, he is a man of peace so when he kills it is in the interest of world peace, right?
January 25th, 2012 - 17:25
@Boahnico Yeah, now I get it. Menschen is singular in this case, but the ending of Mensch is in all cases except nominative EN, Menschen. That’s why I confused it with plural. Thanks.)
January 25th, 2012 - 18:09
@Sharukkin
Not quite, because he was talking about “den Menschen” in general. So he was using 3rd case dative singular.
January 25th, 2012 - 18:55
Listening, listening… all very good reasons for wanting Obama as president… mhm… mhm… and then out of nowhere, “I’d vote for him because he’s a good looking black man *giggle*”.
Erm… I.. I um… I don’t think that’s how politics is supposed to work.
January 25th, 2012 - 19:08
@dunjak111 I was being somewhat satirical, but seriously “quite the opposite”? Did Germany not vote a 440Bn Euro rescue package for Greece and the like. “Sowing a safety net” is exactly my point. Smaller countries give up national identity (currency) in return for sercurity/solvency. They now have no incentive for fiscal responsibility. Thier saftey net is sewn by the German taxpayer. As for most Eurozone countries investing, have you seen the German GDP compared to other Eurozone countries…
January 25th, 2012 - 19:53
@bombasous
Germany will not bail out Greece. Quite the opposite: They already invested most of all european countries and Germany and France sue a safety net for the whole euro zone..
–
“That’s why socialist principals fail.”
I dont understand the context of this. Also, why do you assume, that other countries would not do the same, when they already did? Most european countries invested already, while greece got a strict savings plan, they got to obey.
Finally, its still 1€ = 1,32$, today..
January 25th, 2012 - 19:55
@cashernandes1
dispshit. this was before Obama was elected… The majority of us Americans voted for him as well…. And no, you are misinformed. Germany is on the rise and Euro currency relies heavily on Germany’s economy. Man, you are wrong in every way.
January 25th, 2012 - 20:17
@bombasous
good idea, I certainly will do it
January 25th, 2012 - 20:44
Please do another video with the theme, will Germany bail out the Euro. We need to know if Germany will bail out Greece and then potentially Portugal, Spain, etc so we can invest our money appropriately. That’s why socialist principals fail. Why would your neighbors demonstrate the dedecation, drive, and resignation that Germany does when they have a nice beech down the road. Expecting a new wave of German liberals here in the US and the Euro to go the way of Obama and the dodo. DL please give.
January 25th, 2012 - 21:40
@jackalan88 I disagree. Keep in mind that Obama campaigned in Germany and was really pushed by the media. I didn’t really see any substance in these answers. I really don’t think they were knowledgeable. They just know what is being shown in the media… just like Americans. Look at the answers that were given, “because he’s likable”, “because he’s black”, “because he’s hot”, etc.
January 25th, 2012 - 21:41
@cashernandes1 Idiot, this is BEFORE he got elected, and germany is rising up compared to the rest of europe and the states.

I’m the cart guy!!!
