What is obama doing? The stimulus package has already failed. CNN,CNBC, and obama keep on their lies by telling people the stimulus is still working. The liberals are calling independent people like me mobsters. I am an independent and I know that this administration has screwed us more than the last administration did. Atleast Bush said he failed us while obama just plays the blame game. Know I found out that obama may not be a citizen. Berg, who is a lifetime democrat, has videos and shows why obama is not elegible to be president of the U.S. I think he is a fraud. Leave office Barry Sotoro(which is obamas real name if he did not change it legally) you have sucked enough you loser or should I say illegal alien.

Obama’s attack on our free market economy began long before the current crisis. The following legal documents, news articles, and videos show his part in causing this crisis over the past fifteen years. Now he uses it as an excuse to do even more damage. To him, our free enterprise system is a giant merciless beast that he and his allies have succeeded in wounding. In a free market, your choices as a consumer, select against society’s losers, which he represents. This is why the Obamabots, having won, are still seething with hatred for their opponents. Having wounded the beast they are now closing in for the kill. The recovery of our free market economy is not their objective. They would rather replace it with something else. So their policies are only making matters measurably worse. They want revenge for the unfairness they perceive in the free market.

These legal documents show Barack Obama suing Citibank under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) from 1994 to 1998, where he and other lawyers got $950,000 in legal fees without finding any evidence of wrongdoing:

This was part of a legalized protection racket perpetrated on our nations banks, and part of a widespread systematic shakedown, described in detail in this article published in the year 2000: "The Trillion-Dollar Bank Shakedown That Bodes Ill for Cities":

http://www.city-journal.org/html/10_1_the_trillion_dollar.html

The New York Times reported on this in 2003, and explained what additional regulatory action the Bush administration tried to initiate to protect the banks, in "New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae", only to be blocked by Democrats in congress:

Obama, ACORN, Bill Clinton, the Clinton Administration, and members of congress explain what happened here in their own words in these videos:

Thomas Sowell summarized it all in his column, "Do Facts Matter?":

The Washington Post provides additional detail: ("Where Was Sen. Dodd? Playing the Blame Game On Fannie and Freddie"):

The Wall Street Journal provides additional detail: ("Blame Fannie Mae and Congress For the Credit Mess "):

This pattern of behavior must be stopped to protect the economic future of our country.

On August 7, 2009 Matt Towery of InsiderAdvantage reported the results of two Georgia polls taken to gauge African-Americans' Approval Rating of President Obama.

Disapproval among African Americans was found to be between 35 to 38%.

This is surprising when you consider that in Nov 2008 that 90% of the African American voters elected Obama.

I am beginning to lose hope with Obama.

I voted for Barack Obama and I am normally a staunch Republican.

I trusted Barack!

I no longer trust him. Obama's inexperience has really hurt the country.

I also am very upset the way he made such a harsh and biased decision without thinking when he condemned police officers.

My Uncle Mike from Philadelphia is an officer and he said he voted for Obama, but he wishes he could re-vote and vote for McCain.

Say what you will, McCain was at least honest.

GOD IS GREAT, BEER IS GOOD, AND AMERICANS ARE CRAZY FOR STANDING UP FOR A BLACK MUSLIM PRESIDENT THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER TOOK OFFICE.

I've had it with Obama's rampantspending. Any idiot can throw money at a problem. How about thinking before you spend billions of OUR money.

Throw the bum out!!!

I think the poor literacy displayed in the negative comments says everything that needs to be said.

Altivo Overo of IL 12:08PM August 07, 2009

Obviously the Right wing spin machine is doing a good job of poisoning American minds about the healthcare bill, and every other thing Obama has done to try to help this country pull its ox out osf a very deep ditch.

As some of you may recall, the massive stimulus bills were first put forth by George Bush and his finanacial team, not Obama. Since it does appear that our economy is GAINING ground, slowly but surely, a case can be made that the TARP was the right move.

As to seniors being "forced" to make end of life decisions, if you listened to anyone other than FOX NEWS, you would know that was not accurate in the least. All the bill does is provide insurance coverage for seniors who want to consult someone about a Living will or hospice care, to make a directive about what they themselves would wish to be the course of their own care if they are rendered unable to tell someone what they want. All of us will be there. I can't believe people are crazy enough to believe this vile propaganda.

for all of you who accuse this president of so many hateful things, foremost among them being a Socialist, why don't we start a movement to repeal Social Security and Medicare and have a truly capitalistic society, and Devil take the hindmost! I can hear people screaming about that now. You remind me of the people on the Titanic when they made it into the lifeboats: "I'm aboard, now pull up the rope!".

I don't remember when the citizen's of this once free country decided to live under comunism but i for did not and i'm sure i know alot of redneck's and just good ole folk's that just won't sit still for a goverment that control's their every move. As far as senior's being told when they need to die i can't seem to swallow that pill where i'm from that's called legalized murder the bible say's thou shalt not kill i think i'll stick to the good book thank you very much.

If this country know's what's good for it the citizen's will stand up to our so called good for nothing gov because let's face it people thier just not getting the job done, i've got a nine year old son that could do a better job of running this country.

we've already had one civil war north v/s south but if you obama keep traveling down the same road your on now i'm sure this country not afraid to do it again but this time america the people v/s america the crapie goverment
