Hahahah, …
Hahahah, Hahahahahha.
Get a clue. Obama is a puppet of goldman sachs and other institutions more powerful than any government.

Yo,Barokeydoke…if you’re going to keep smacking your lips and telling us how good Saul Alinsky’s watermelon is, how about a little tap dance to go along with it?
Obama has the …
Obama has the courage and integrity to act in the best interests of the average American. He has been the most forthright and “transparent” of any administration so far. That’s why the special interest groups are panicking… because they want to continue to influence legislators to vote in their favor.
Obama’s been fixing …
Obama’s been fixing stuff that was broken by Republicans, when they were in power, since he got into office. It’s a full-time job. I think the Republicans break stuff on purpose, just so the next Democratic administration will have to spend time and effort fixing it.
thanks for bringing …
thanks for bringing up the supreme court ruling..its a travesty
Mr. the American …
Mr. the American People HATE you. You will be a one term President. So Mr. President, take it to them. The uneducated fools compare Unions to Corporations. Unions that get their money from Voluntary Contributions of their members compared to Corporations who get their money from selling products made in China, Chile, Mexico, or Singapore. Working people compared to Fat Cats. And they want to pay homage to the Fat Cats as our America is destroyed by their stupidity. Stand up for us now.
talk talk talk…. …
talk talk talk….pussiest president……Health care fail…..public option fail….. he talk too much but not much of action, he’s going to fool us again.
President Obama …
President Obama You’re doing an awful job . Do the American people a favor and resign.
President Obama …
President Obama You’re doing a great job . Thank You for all that you do.
Many people have …
Many people have worked hard, or have not had the chance to work hard. There are so many today that are going back to school on their second major/degree because they did not have the chance to get jobs the 1st time due to jobs are continuing to go over seas to this day. How are Americans going to get jobs if they are not in the United States of America?
Yes EVILLL …
Yes EVILLL corporations for far too long have been apartof the election process. OOOh wait didn’t you Mr. President take 60 million dollars from Andy Stern’s SEIU? Isn’t it under your administration and democratically controlled Congress that the Fat cats received their bonuses? Typical Socialist tactics. Bash the very agenda you support. Cloud the minds of the uneducated. Open your eyes America before there is no America.
So, I wonder if the …
So, I wonder if the political candidates that end up with corporate sponsorship, will have to sport the corporate logos on their lapel or suit jacket much like a NASCAR driver does or any other professional athlete or athletic team does?
I hope Obama takes this fight beyond the Supreme Court and brings it straight before the people, as he is starting to do. Perhaps an amendment to our constitution would be in order to require a 2/3’s majority vote would be worth consideration? Any thoughts?
This is a joke …
This is a joke right….he fights against Special Interest? LMAO!! This guy is so full of himself I dont know where to begin on this one……..
Yo,Barokeydoke….. …
Yo,Barokeydoke……suck Andy Stern’s thug dick much?
Mr. President, the …
Mr. President, the America People HATE you. They want to forget and bury 30 years of Voodoo Economic Trickle Down Theory. They want to watch the Millionaires on Fox News tell them that the Minimum Wage should be done away with and think it will be good for working people. Line up at the fence for a job, like people did in the ’30’s. Let the wealthyiest have their second Guilded Age. Let the Corporate Masters rule the Economic Slaves. There’s no Constitutional Rights in the Work Place.
Mr. President, the …
Mr. President, the American People HATE you. They want you to spoon feed them. They say you have done nothing since you took office, but they only know that because someone on Fox News told them that. They do not inform themselves by investigating what you have done. They do not read the signs along the highway that say Funds Provided by the ReInvestment and Recovery Act. They just want to criticize, condemn, and complain. It is much easier to hate for no reason, than to see the light!
Obama’s a joke, the …
Obama’s a joke, the government’s a joke, the whole country’s a joke. The joke’s on you ! Anyone laughing now, you won’t be for much longer !
Great weekly …
Great weekly address! I really hope Obama can win this battle. For too long corporations have done whatever they wanted, threatening job or campaign contribution cuts. Very few corporations actually behave ethically. Nike, Starbucks, banks? They obviously have to do the interest of their shareholders (are we sure SH interest is their main goal?). What distinguishes the human race from the animal kingdom is civilization: corporations should also care for their stakeholders and stop the politics.
I have lost faith …
I have lost faith in our government. Im tired of working hard only to give my money to tight who sit behind desk making decisions on how to make my life harder than what it is. Moral lacking, evil people w/ my money in their hands. parasites of the system.
Then we have to listen to them lie & put on fronts. All the while they’re stuffing our money in their pockets, plotting on how to do ill will to the public to fatten their pockets alittle more. Im tired of the ignorance in govt.
