    Senate Republicans yesterday stripped a special $246 million tax break for Hollywood producers from President Obama's stimulus package.

    .

    "This isn't stimulus. This is a gift," said Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), who wrote the amendment to strike out the giveaway for some of the Democrats' most generous political supporters.

    .

    "It's not going to stimulate the economy at all," he said. "What it's going to do is line the pockets of very wealthy individuals already not experiencing the downside of the economy."

    "I don't want to send a message to the American people that there are two sets of standards, one for powerful people and one for ordinary folks who are working every day and paying their taxes." BHO

    Maybe he shouldn't have hired Geithner as head of the IRS then. That idiot still owes money on back taxes!!!

    SPEND - U - LUST package exposed
    as pork barrel for the Democrats
    and San Fran Nan Pelosi,
    the richest woman in Congress.

    How is it that he's talking to Stone Phillips in the beginning then all of a sudden he's talking to Katie Couric?



  9. 9

    i really wish you would post celeb gossip.



  10. 10

    i am so proud of our president.



  11. 11

    How do you know a democrat is not telling the truth? His/her lips are moving. He is trying to rebrand the "stimulus" package into a "recovery" package because nothing contained within it will stimulate the economy. It's a liberal spending spree that will NOT bring an end to the recession. His administration was asked how the "stimulus" package would create 1 job…… CRICKETS. It's a scam. If the almost trillion dollars in spending the democrats are proposing was distributed to each US citizen, we would each be $300,000 richer. Now that's stimulation I can believe in, not this scam of a "stimulus/recovery" bill.



  12. 12

    How can you tell when a politician is lying? Their lips move.

    Anyone who actually has a business in America knows how hard it is to compete. Everyday new fees and regulations are imposed while China, India etc. do not regulate. When the credit dries up and we have to work instead of borrow we wonder why we do not have customers. I am not saying deregulate everything but do we really need inventory tax, air compressor permits etc. etc. etc. Obama is not dealing with the problem he is trying to borrow more. That's Dumb….It was dumb when Bush did it and it is still dumb when Obama does it. Its just now he gets a free pass with the media.



  18. 18

    LOVE HIM!!!

    Re: guilty of being white – YA! GET TO FUCKING WORK!!! ok



  22. 22

    Very responsible thing to say. I hope he follows through. If he doesn't, his opponents will cite the part where he says "the only measure of my success as president…is gonna be 'did IO get this economy fixed?'" over and over again. I can already see the negative ads.



  23. 23

    My woodiez
    come and play.

    he is in over his head and has no idea what the hell he is doing

    about 10 cents of every dollar will go to stimulating the economy, the rest of it goes to paying off political favors. i guess the 'change we can count on' will come in pennies.



  26. 26

    My "economy" would be a lot better if I could cheat on my taxes and not face jail time if caught. I'm with Toby and RashManly.



  27. 27

    i love my president and i need a job. even wal-mart is not hiring. sad sad sad.

  32. 32

    Look, seriously, we are in deep $%^&. We have had poor to horrendous leadership at all levels for 20 years, no exceptions. We have bred a generation, maybe two, of people with their hands out and nothing more. Our Education system is terrible and parents don't raise their kids anymore. Now we sit here and put our hope and faith in a man, who is surrounded by crooks and seems totally overmatched for his position, that was elected because it was "cool" to vote for him and because it was historic. McCain was no better, but come on. How much longer until Ceasar crosses the Rubicon in this country. And if you don't know what I mean, you are part of the problem. Good luck.



  33. 33

    I'm not gonna lie. I really like the guy, but it just sounds like he's still campaigning. This didn't sound like the president of the united states of america, ostensibly the most powerful man on earth. This sounded like some guy campaigning. He's still trying to sell us on himself and his plans, even after we elected him. I think he needs to fucking grow a pair at least in the way he talks to the media. I think this whole transparency thing is gonna backfire and he won't look presidential. He'll just look like the perpetual nominee.

    This guy is a moron. Anyone who voted for him should be ashamed at what followers you are. Now look at this bullshit. Fuck this stimulus. Here's an idea Barrack Osama - How about people live within their means and shut the fuck up. Seriously! Most of the people losing their homes could not afford them in the first place and were negligent in even attempting to buy them. Yes, the economy is bad. No, everyoe does not need a handout. They need to shut the fuck up and get to work! That includes this dumb ass Muslim!

    it's sad that he's only been in office for how many days and already fishy things are happening in washington under his watch. he doesn't fool me playing the whole "apologetic I made a mistake" bit. one by one they'll all fall down. there are handfuls of people that see the cracks in his nearly TRILLION dollar "stimulus" package. I cannot believe people elected him into office. what a joke.

    Obama's "stimulus plan" isn't aimed toward regular folks. It's not even going to help produce jobs or help the foreclosure mess. It is stacked with special interests. You tell me how gov drug tests on unemployed workers will put them back to work, how will funding abortion clinics OVERSEAS help our economy? Infrastructure was removed yesterday. How on God's green Earth will this, any of this, help our economy??? It will produce jobs overseas for Americans, but we need jobs HERE! Our families are here, our homes are here. Pres. Obama is turning out to be a disaster for America, the economy and our freedoms!

    Nancy Pelosi claims that we lose 500 million American jobs each month we don't pass her $1 trillion pork barrel spending boondoggle. With politicians like this who can't count, how do we expect anything they propose will work?



  42. 42

    all he is, is a pretty face who can read a script. he is a product of the corrupt political machine of illinois…same old, same old. and all you idiots who voted for him totally fell for it. he has zero experience and has always surrouded himself with the most liberal, corrupt people. yeah, let's give hollywood some more money…dumba$$!



  43. 43

    Re: topper
    Perhaps Nancy is taking into account that Barack told her there are 57 states. /sarc

    This entire administration is a joke and a failure and it's only been 2 weeks. I blame it on all of the uninformed followers that voted for this idiot. If any of the followers would read up on Jimmy Carter, you'd know what direction this country is headed…. high inflation, high unemployment, and zero national security. We're all screwed.



  44. 44

    obama you said you would be different and bring change. That means not lying like other prez did, I HOPE your telling the truth.



  45. 45

    It's so amazing to see a someone with an actual functioning brain as POTUS!



  46. 46

    BRING ON THE EPIC FAIL!!!

    He will just blame it all on bush anyway…

    OH and the best part is the media is so fucking far left that they are trying their hardest to obscure the fact of what's really going on in Washington! It's going to be very hard for us Americans to ever hear the truth about all the shit that's going down in D.C. unless it somehow gets big enough that it can't be ignored. Either that or you get your daily dose of Fox News. Yea they may be a little too conservative BUT at least they aren't kissing Obama's ass and they were openly the only network that REFUSED to hold baby Obama's hand to the White House. So pathetic!



  50. 50

    He is what I expecting to be, an empty suit unqualified to be presodent of this country. A community organizer and a Senator for 143 days, running the biggest country in the world? A total joke…But hey, he is cool and black….
    And the fact that he only appoints criminals that do not pay taxes to his new government make me realize that we are now under CHICAGO politics….Corruption, corruption….I don't understand why people are not totally outrage with the fact that the new head of Treasure did not pay his taxes for 5 years…What type of CHANGE is this?

    And wait until the terrorists of Guantanamos are release……But hey, Obama is so coooooool, right?

    Call your senators and tell them to block this "Stimulus" package. It is NOT a stimulus package. It includes huge amounts of money for far Left Democratic constituencies, including ACORN, which engaged in massive voter fraud in the past election. This bill is simply meant to strengthen their power base. It will leave the rest of us in huge debt, with our taxes going higher and higher to pay for all these things, while our freedom and prosperity will diminish as the ruling class confiscates more of our money and power.

    The poor people in Obama's district in Chicago were not empowered by these kinds of policies. They were left to freeze in unheated, rodent-infested housing, while big city money went to those contributing to keep the corrupt Chicago machine in power. Now we have this corruption coming to Washington. The new Attorney General pardoned terrorists. The new Treasury Secretary is a tax cheat. Ethics? That's a joke.

    Those who vote based on emotion and general impressions need to educate yourselves about the issues and what's really going on. Visit sites like Drudgereport.com, AmericanThinker.com, and NationalReview.com and learn the facts the bought-and-paid-for mainstream media will not tell you.

    Re: Sgirl – You are so right! And so is the person that said Clinton got this ball rolling - mortgages to those that can't afford them.



  53. 53

    Got Buyers Remorse?



  54. 54

    Re: Sgirl – Here here!



  55. 55

    He NOT ONCE mentioned how he was going to CREATE jobs - only how much aid the unemployed will receive. WE TAXPAYERS will be burdened with paying more to those who don't work. How does that boost the economy?? Burdening the honest, hard working taxpayer with MORE TAXES!!!!



  56. 56

    WHEN WE HAVE A TERRORIST GROUP ATTACK OUR COUNTRY IT WILL BE BECAUSE THIS AMATEUR WAS ELECTED AND THEY SMELL BLOOD IN THE WATER.



  57. 57

    It's funny to see how his popularity has declined and he's only been in office for 2 weeks. The people who are still gaga over him are either misinformed, uneducated or just plain stupid.



  58. 58

    It is nothing but a sham…full of special interest BS and not going to stimulate anything. He needs to actually read the damn bill.. it's 687 pages of crap… if he read it then he would know you cannot fix the economy this way! Seriously.. someone needs to ring his damn blackberry and have a talk for shiz!!!!!



  59. 59

    the interviewer changes halfway through it…



  60. 60

    YAY Obama!! Now do it! :D



  61. 61

    Someone here finally commented on something that I agree with. The United States (and now a lot of European countries are doing the same) has "bred a couple of generations with their hands sticking out of their pockets" and you know what also? This is an ignorant, lazy, overweight, overly arrogant, center of the Universe, generation with WAY too much self esteem. America hasn't really seen it tough. I think people have sat on their fat asses watching TV for three hours a day for way too long… We are in trouble, horrible trouble. Soon, crime rate will increase (no jobs mean more crime), cities will look uglier, more contaminated. The sea level is going to rise, hollywood is going to be the "new education system" and gangs will control communities. We will start looking like Mexico in less than five years. Just watch and see…



  62. 62

    I am more interested in watching Skeletina's SNL video!!!



  63. 63

    It's really easy to sit and talk… let's see some more action and less press releases and interviews… Obama you won't be "cool" until you really do something! We can't afford having that many lay offs, let's work on something!!!



  64. 64

    Face it, people…what really needs to be done to fix this problem the politicians don't have the balls to do it because it's not politically expedient. The truth is, Ron Paul is right. The government MUST cut taxes AND cut spending. There is no pain free way out of this. However, if the government keeps up the current way they are choosing to deal with this problem they are going to turn a recession into a depression. Stop with the bailouts and the stimulus plans because they don't work. We spent and consumed our way into this problem and we cannot spend and consume our way out of it. The government is trying to reinflate a burst bubble(a bubble that was created by the unConstitutional and fradulent Federal Reserve).



  65. 65

    Obama is not dealing with the problem he is trying to borrow more. That's Dumb….It was dumb when Bush did it and it is still dumb when Obama does it. Its just now he gets a free pass with the media.
    Re: localsavage

    Exactly. Obama is just continuing the disastrous economic policies of the last administration. Change we can believe in. We need to stop nation building and sticking our nose in the world's business. Ron Paul says it costs up to $1 trillion a year to maintain our american empire. We the taxpayer have our money confiscated from us and sent overseas to pay for stupid shit like "family planning" in other countries while our country is going broke. Stop giving our money away to other nations, especially nations that are hostile to us.

    Re: SweetZombieJesus
    Too true. The USA has trade deficits+savings deficits+debt deficits+leadership deficits = this problem was a long time coming. (See Fiat dollar created after Bretton Woods 1971)

    Nine years from now president Palin will be getting the credit for fixing the economy, conquering the arab world, and finally ridding us of all those damn annoying wolves.



  68. 68

    About $10 billion should go toward auditors to seek out fraud in our welfare system!! I see it everyday and wonder how they are getting away with it!! If all of these politicians would have their taxes audited, there would probably be about $2 billion in owed taxes that they "overlooked" on their returns. Yeah, right. And then they don't even have to pay penalties or interest. Us common folk sure do!

    I'm glad that spending all those millions on his inauguration party was his first step to a better economy. jackass.



  71. 71

    I read Perez to hear what liberals think and right before the election, I feared for my country and its future. I am very happy to see more people waking up to Obama and his gang of thugs who are not out to help the average American. I am a conservative, but not a moron. I know Bush sucked, but Obama is going to be worse and no one will say anything for fear of being a bigot. It saddens me how many people have stopped questioning authority. Capitalism is the only political ideology that allows for personal freedoms, and those freedoms are starting be be taken away by a government that believes they know what is better for you than you.
