Comments by "Clint Holmes" (@clintholmes2061) on "Obama Fails Again With Out-Of-Touch Speech That Proves How Bad He Is" video.

Obama fooled me. I can't believe I voted for him twice.

Yup. His signature piece of legislation was a Republican policy rather than a progressive policy. He brought war, war, war, war, war, war, and war. He did nothing substantial to regulate wall street. He did nothing to address income inequality. He let Hillary do whatever she wanted. His failed presidency and inability to actually bring hope and change directly led to Trump. People still want and need change and would go to extreme measures to try and get it. The only reason history will remember him fondly is because he is likely to be sandwiched between two of the worst President's in history and American's are all about comparing things rather than judging them by their own merits.

user regarding, "he had the whole Republican-dominated Congress against him" Not the entire time. He used a democrat controlled house and senate to pass Romneycare nationwide. He could stop DAPL this very moment and it has nothing to do with congress. He represents corporations and his donors. Stop defending him.

Jesus regarding, "This time I voted Trump." I don't think you are racist for that but I do think you are being a fool for supporting that conman and clown.

Gisli regarding, "But boy did he make it look good, though." Yup. He was a great public speaker. Too bad he sucked as a leader.

Auceza. Bernie Sanders had done more to expose the establishment and call them out that pretty much anyone on the planet. Is he perfect? Hardly. But he seems perfect compared to the others names you mentioned. Regarding, "But progressives like that." You are an idiot. Only a moron would think this makes sense.

Mega regarding, "the only positive thing I could think of during Obama's presidency" I tend to think of getting Bin Laden and doing so in a way that gained us the maximum amount of intelligence (as opposed to just droning him). That said for the most part he was nothing more than a total disappointment. I guess he helped starve off a depression but at the same time he did nothing to prevent the same types of problems in the future. The banks are bigger than ever. I don't think he even considered bringing back glass-steagal. Main street was never bailed out. Even as I type this I can't help but feel regret for voting for him. Hope and Change? Nope. Same old, same old.

Auceza regarding, "Bernie is a sellout." You are using the term sellout wrong. A sellout gets something of value like money. There is no reason to believe this was the case with Bernie. When Bernie was running he said over and over that he didn't want Trump to win and considered him a threat. He said over and over and over that he would do whatever he could to prevent Trump from winning. I wanted him to tell the DNC to fuck off and run with Jill Stein. He didn't and although I disagree with him I get it because Bernie Sanders said over and over what he was going to do and he has a way of doing what he says he will. Regarding, "The Green Party will shit on you, too." The Green Party is different in that they do not accept legalized bribes from big money and corporations. That means the are free to represent the people and not the people paying to fund their elections. There is a direct correlation between money and corruption. That is, in part, what makes the Green Party superior at the moment.

That's absurd. I'm not a fan of Obama but he is by far more popular with the country than Hillary or Trump.

Bob regarding, "I think you and the rest of the keyboard clown jockeys in here" Hypocrite much? Regarding, "Is that crickets I hear?" No. Don't be afraid to give an opportunity to respond before jumping to your preconceived notions. The first step in solving any problem is admitting there is a problem. Social media is one way of talking about and addressing problems. No problem is ever solved without awareness. Regarding, "keyboard jockey" What are you exactly? Other than a hypocrite? Regarding, "clown," and "bag of hot air," Again I find this funny coming from you. Thank you for the laugh. They are needed in sad times. Regarding, "conspiracy theories" I was called a conspiracy theorist for saying the DNC was rigging the game. Wikileaks proved me right because some conspiracy theories are true. What you are doing is being disparaging to suggest that the idea of a conspiracy theory is to be dismissed off hand. That is at least as dumb and inaccurate as thinking all conspiracy theories are true. Regarding, "Breitbart" Just insults with nothing of substance to back it up. I think Breitbart sucks. You know what I don't do? Go there and talk shit. If you believe the BS you are saying what does that say about you that you are here?

Ward regarding, "Hillary" Hillary only fooled the blindest of the blind. Or some supported her because they feared Trump. The people are learning otherwise she would have won. The politicians and elites of the "democratic" party, not so much.
4
Ozy regarding, "Obama has been a crook his entire political career," Obama was one of the few to vote against the moronic war in Iraq. He spoke out against torturing people. He talked about closing Gitmo. He stressed the need to talk to our enemies and not just bomb them. I admit being duped but if you can't understand why he was able to fool some people you are an idiot or just being a dick gloating while saying I told you so.

Jesus regarding, "better than Hill3ary." No. They are essentially the same. Birds of a feather flock together. Hillary went to Trump's wedding. Trump called Bill Clinton for a little chat immediately before announcing he was running. Had Trump not ran Hillary would have considered him for her VP. They are not different in any sort of meaningful way even if there are differences. Regarding, "I don't watch CNN and think their lies and manipulations is news or journalism." I too think CNN sucks balls but you might want to note that CNN and MSM that you rightfully hate gave Trump BILLIONS in free media. Regarding, "nonsensensical fear mongering" Remember when ISIS said, "we have to take out their families" wait, that wasn't ISIS. That only sounds exactly like something ISIS would say. That was actually Donald Trump calling for the US to be committing war crimes. And that wasn't the only time. There are legit reasons to fear Trump (as there were for fearing Hillary). It isn't all just fear mongering. Try to be honest about your candidate when he doesn't do anything he said he would. Try to be honest when he gives blowjobs to the corporations and the oligarchy. Try to be honest when he does nothing that helps the common person. I admit I was wrong for voting for Obama. When Trump fucks you over try to be honest about it as well.

Jesus regarding, "Trump ended the TPP." I'll be happy if this ends up being the case but I'm not cracking the champagne just yet. Regarding, "Made peace with Russia" Huh, I didn't know we were at war with Russia. And he accomplished this before even taking office. Trump is pretty amazing or you are insane. Regarding, "is scaring Ford and Apple to keeping jobs in the USA" I'd ask you to elaborate on this if I were actually interested in what you had to say. Regarding, "has China and SaudiArabia calling him out of respect" Because leaders calling the winners of elections is not normal I guess. Regarding, "Japanese Prime minister saying he is happy and gas full confidence in President Trump after 90 minute meeting" I expected him to break down crying and claim the apocalypse was about to begin (that is sarcasm in case you can't tell). Regarding, "has Canada and Mexico begging that they are willing to renogotiate Nafta," Ok. This I am actually curious to know what you are talking about. It smells like BS. Regarding, "StockMarket" Of course wall street is thrilled. They know he is going to deregulate them and let them run wild as they fuck over the public. Regarding, "He us already a better president than Obama, and he has not even taken iffice." LOL. Yes, the guy who isn't president is already a great president. If logic were a person they would kick your ass. Regarding, "CNN" I don't watch CNN and try to avoid thinking about them as much as possible. That said I'm betting Corey Lewdowski is sucking your clowns dick. Regarding, "They know Trump has potential to Make America Great Again." Do you have any idea how empty that sounds to the sane. Regarding, "Even if he has to bring brainwashed peeps" This is funny coming from someone who is clearly brainwashed. Regarding, "But ibwill be first to call him out in 2 years uf he has failed some." Consider me a skeptic of this statement. Regarding, "Do u even doubtbthat?" Yes. I think you are being absurd. Regarding, "A reasonable person would give him a chance at least for a year with an open mind." I have no choice but to give him a chance. But considering his words, his actions, his lack of character, and everything about him only a fool thinks he is going to be a good president. Regarding, "he is as bad a Prez as BushJr was" Yes. You are utterly ridiculous. I'm not a fan of Obama but W... president during 9-11, the stock market, skyrocketing deficit, katrina, didn't get bin laden, the patriot act, torture, gitmo, lied us into the Iraq war, bailouts and more. You, as usual, are being absurd even if Obama has sucked as well.

Valken regarding, "Bernie, same thing" Don't be absurd. The idea that Bernie is the same thing is beyond stupid.
4
You write like a certifiable moron.

Mike regarding, "Bernie sanders is a puppet" Bernie Sanders has a long record that suggests otherwise. Regarding, "I know its a tough pill to swallow" Did you bother to read what I've written? I've been trashing Obama. But Obama and Sanders are different people that you are conflating based on nothing of substance to me.
3
Mike regarding, "go back and look at Bernie's record." Bernie has a very long record. Anyone who has been in office that long will always have done something I disagree with. But when I look at the big picture of Bernie's record he has consistently been on the right side of issues even when they were unpopular. He opposed the Iraq war and the Patriot act when it was the popular position. He supported gay rights when it was the unpopular position. Nobody is perfect but in comparison to his colleagues Bernie is. Regarding, "Look Bernie was put out there as like a release valve and to lead the dissent" And they would have been more dangerous had they not had someone leading the cause? They would have been better off had their not been someone speaking out against the machine and the oligarchy? They would have been better off had Sanders not been talking about the real problems? We are going to have to disagree. Regarding, "before this year people were waking up" And now they are not despite wikileaks, Sanders, and Trump winning? Again we are going to have to disagree. Regarding, "If we all wake up and unite against the real enemy of humanity which is Zionism" Again we have to disagree. Money is the root of all evil in my opinion and Jews do not have a monopoly on it.

mars regarding, "by far the worst ever" Are you kidding me? Look at DootDoot's list. There is almost nothing of policy mentioned. The only exception is the disgrace going on in ND. And I agree that that belongs on a list of fuckups. Compare that to Ws time in office. There is no comparison. The idea that Obama was the worst even even thou he sucked suggests you must have been born in the last 8 years.
3
143 regarding, "they promise things" Everyone promises things. That is how the game is played. I like to think I have good BS detection but I was fooled with Obama. The problem with him wasn't that he promised things. The problem with Obama is that he didn't deliver.
3
FSnow regarding, "Obama was a victim of reality" Is that suppose to mean something? Because to me that seems like word vomit.
3
steve regarding, "bush was a Democrat" Run along and let the sane talk please.

jwren regarding, "I now don't believe a damn thing politicians say." The biggest lesson and takeaway I've learned from this is the importance of following the money. The biggest tell that Obama was going to sell out the people was how much and where he got his money from. There is a direct correlation between how corrupt a politician is and where they do and do not get their money. Regarding, "George Carlin" Fuck I miss him. I'd love to hear his take on the current state of things. Not only would it be accurate but it would have been hilarious and we need good laughs in sad times when we can get them.

gray troll regarding, "I can't believe you did either" Yes. You are a troll. Get a life.

Coley regarding, "u shouldnt vote again honestly" Sorry. I will. Regarding, "he fooled u cause hes black" What kind of ridiculous statement is this? Do you understand how absurd it is? What do you base this on? Please don't answer. That is rhetorical. I don't actually care what you think. Regarding, "i told you so" I don't think so. I don't recall ever talking to you before this.
2
Coley regarding, "fine get fooled again" No like you. You are amazing, have never made a mistake and have never been fooled even if you are a fool. Regarding, "they never call out BLM for shit." If I actually cared what you think I'd ask what your problem with BLM is. I don't care what you think so please don't offer your thoughts. Regarding, "they think black people cant be racist." Of course they can. Regarding, "they think black people can define what is racist" I let the dictionary define things. That said I think you are ignoring the fact that blacks have a very unique perspective on racism that I think you lack. Regarding, "so i will say i told u so. i will gladly tell you." I can't say for sure that you are a racist although I do think you are suspect. I can say for certain that you obviously a douche-bag.

Auceza there is so much irony in a Trump supporter saying things like, "weak excuses," and "Don't trust the Green Party." You make excuses for Trump. You support Trump. It would be funny if it weren't so scary that there are so many people that "think" like you.

Auceza regarding, "If Trump doesn't deliver what he promised, i won't support him anymore." You strike me as the type who can rationalize almost anything. Consider me a skeptic of this statement. Regarding, "Actually there is no hint that he won't keep his word." Let's just consider the past 24 hours shall we. Trump has previously said, "I don't settle cases. I don't do it because that's why I don't get sued very often, because I don't settle, unlike a lot of other people. You know what, let's see what happens in court." But that was what he said while campaigning for office. He didn't even wait til taking office before proving he was lying. There is literally no reason to think he will keep his word about anything. He is capable of contradicting himself in the SAME FUCKING SENTENCE. That is not easy to do. Regarding, "I don't take rumours and gossip serious." I wish you could realize how similar you sound to Hillary supporters. You are just fucking delusional and capable of believing whatever you want to believe. He is a conman and you have bought into his BS. Regarding, "Jimmy" Jimmy is the man because he says what true progressives like myself think. If you think so little of him you should just fuck off. Regarding, "Trump doesn't put all his cards on the table" Neither did Hillary. She too had a public and a private face.

David Payne regarding, "Trump did not end TPP." If the TPP never gets signed it will be directly correlated to Trump winning. Time will tell and I still have my doubts. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump gets into office and ultimately signs it because he negotiated a great deal and because there is an extra comma and now it is amazing and great. We shall see.

MTG regarding, "I wasn't even fooled ONCE." Good for you. You got say I told you so. Now you can move along and feel good about yourself for ONCE.

kari regarding, "You know the saying" In my defense it isn't as if the Republicans give much of an alternative. It would be a lot easier if at least one major party represented the people.
