MTV Town Hall Questioner To Obama: "Why Should We Still Support You?" (video)

Question from Adam Hunter: "When you were first elected, it seemed as though the sky was falling in terms of the economy. There was a bailout that you supported, there was stimulus that added to our deficit, but yet it seems as though our unemployment rate still rises. You said it won't go past 8% and now it's at 9.5% … So, my question to you is: Why should we still support you going forward with your economic policies and if the economic does not improve over the next years, why should we vote you back in?"

if his lips are moving...he’s lying

From The American Thinker 10/14:

Some 2 million Americans lost their jobs shortly before Barack Obama took office, but make no mistake: they lost them precisely because he was about to do so. And to argue against that is to demonstrate colossal ignorance as to what a business owner’s first job is, which is to see around the corner and position his business for what is coming.

And business owners saw Obama coming. They saw Pelosi’s and Reid’s increased power coming, too. They feared that trifecta so much that they went ahead and fired about 2 million people between Election Day 2008 and the inauguration. They were too scared to wait until Obama was actually sworn in.

Memo to the president: Mr. Obama, all six million job losses are on you — and your liberal friends in Congress. You can have all the town halls you want and all the jobs summits you want, and it does not change that fact. Moreover, nothing will turn this economy around until the entrepreneur feels it’s safe to come out and play some more.

That probably means nothing will get better for a while — in other words, while you remain in office. You, Pelosi, and Reid will never get the proper blame for the two million jobs lost in the ninety days before you took office. But on the bright side, I can see about a hundred firings this November that might be a step in the right direction — and you all will get blamed for those.

Obama? Doesn’t like giving speeches? Are you kidding? He LOVES giving speeches! He loves the adoration and the applause, the attentive audience cheering him, tuned into him... He LIVES for that.

Obama was completely on the defensive, blamed Bush, then bragged about how he has lowered taxes(?) He never answered the question as to why he should be given a second term.

One question

Is he speaking in Negro dialect?

At this point, that’s my only interest in this fool’s appearances.

U’r’ right. The kid was obviously not a plant and spoke independently off-the-script as we say here in Hollywood CA. I almost never heard the Tea Party comment until u blast the volume way up..

During the campaign he said “I like the way I sound when giving speeches.” Really. I made a mental note of that.

LMAO!!!!! The President was just told Twitter responses some of the greatest fears are quote “You being re-elected” and another was “America is becoming a Communist nation”.

Obama responded “Uh-oh...”

Well he may like it but he stinks at it. He is much better just talking in general with people asking questions.

Sorry Kenyan,

Most of these young people know you’re a lying POS! What they do know for a fact, is that unemployment for them is well over 10%! They’re catching on day by day that you’re intentionally destroying they’re future!

I hope your lying tongue rots out of your filthy mouth!

Well, since there were both Blacks and Whites here, he only spoke every other word in Ebonics.

Yes, he did.

The 20 percent unemployment rate is a legacy of the Bush economy.

Indonesian presidents are always cleaning up after American presidents. It’s a job that never ends.

This is the second Africa American to publicly challenge Obama to his face on his failed polices.

The young man touched on Obama’s broken promise on unemployment, the stimulus added to the deficit, etc.

I am very surprised to see this in a MTV forum... loved it!
