How Presidents Govern: Crash Course Government and Politics #14 

William Stockhecker POWER!!! UNLIMITED POWER!!!!

William Stockhecker just....amazing.

William Stockhecker And then he was ELECTED as emperor......then a small group of terrorists blew up the government resulting in mass starvation, increase in crime, the remaning admirals start fighting eachouther for power creating an ever more divided galaxy, then the outher rim pirates invaded at took over most of the galaxy. Actions have conequences.

Mystogan Edolas sounds a lot like what happened to the roman empire too. the superpower builds itself up and then when overinflated, it gets popped by something "insignificant". actually, here's a few empires from history that would fall into his niche: Russian Empire, Soviet Union, Ottoman Empire, Persian Empire, British Empire. they all have fallen when they were "too big to fail" :P

***** well not the British Empire, it fell as the country went bankrupt fighting the Nazi's and the United States demanded we get rid of it in order to receive any aid (loans) to make sure Britain was no longer a global superpower

And now we really are playing Pokemon

ryderov0 Yet...

+Nolan Thiessen Obama is a guest on the final episode. fingers crossed

I love it

+Harun Suaidi Where are you from?

Indonesia

Well the richest billionaires in Indonesia are tobacco moghuls. They have a lot of influence on government.

***** "Hattrick!"

***** I'm assuming the Hat trick was to make up for THE TRAVESTY in episode #13

***** Then wouldn't it be called FALCON PUNCH?

It sure is helping future generations for AP us gov

***** oh dear lord.....parliament gov't is confusing

***** oh please no

....you do realize this is a PBS thing, right? meaning thats its america only.

OMG Thanks for this!

FunkyHonkyCDXX triple!

FunkyHonkyCDXX He even SAID three times, dumbass.

Be nice. I'm sure he posted the comment after the 2nd punch out of joy, he was so sad after being robbed last week that as soon as the 2nd attack had occurred he posted a comment to thank Craig for his reckless violence to a symbol of our nation, that he didn't feel it necessary to watch the rest of the video to view the 3 strike.

HeeminGamin You're partially right. I did post the comment immediately after the second punch out of joy. However, I didn't feel the need to correct myself after seeing the third punch because I figured the fact that he clearly pointed it out would make it patently obvious that I had posted it before he'd done it. Clearly I have once again over estimated the internet.

Maybe. But i wouldnt have commented if you werent a top comment. I just cant let obvious falsehood stand uncommented. Your probably not be a dumbass though...

Ooshgaar Obama is liberal? Hah... HAH! Good one. Obama is a good president? *Dying from laughter* Sure, sure....

lolpauve Well ok. As I've said I'm looking from the outside in, and I've not really done much in the way of research into the guy. So, I can see you not a fan of his. Please elaborate.

Ooshgaar Oh dear where to begin. Well one, breaking of or attempting to break campaign promises. Remember the whole "bring our troops home" thing? In fact, his administration was heavily lobbying Prime Minister Maliki for a status of forces agreement to allow some U.S. troops to remain in Iraq after 2011. It was only the refusal by the Iraqis which forced complete withdrawal of U.S. troops. Similarly in Afghanistan, he said something along the lines of getting them out in summer of 2011. However, not only did he not get them out, he escalated it into the border region of Pakistan. That's number one. Number two, the general shitting of civil liberties which granted mainly done by his administration and not him directly but he's the president and does have control over some of it, which he definitely did not use for good. *Cough* Drone strikes *cough* and Gitmo/Bagram/Gitmo North and military tribunals to which Obama said first, paraphrasing "hell no" and when he got into office his attitude was more like "well ok". Gay rights is another thing. Obama in 2012: Well i think everyone is equal but I can't be bothered to lift a finger about it. (Note that was not an actual quote, that was just my interpretation of a statement he made during the second presidential campaign. But this is just what I've picked up on, I reccomend you skim through this: www.obamatheconservative.com/ and I do mean skim since it's quite long and comprehensive (and well written and well sourced.

lolpauve Thank you! these things I did not know. I will indeed take a look at that and I thank you again for your polite reply.

Ooshgaar He's not wrong that Obama has done many conservative things, but to call him conservative from an American perspective (pretty much all American politicians are conservative from a European perspective) is flat out wrong. Also, as Greg pointed out in this very video, it's hard for presidents to get things done with a divided Washington. And finally, here's a good look at Obama's campaign promises. www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/

***** majority = more than half 1992 presidential election popular vote: Clinton - 43% Bush - 37.5% Perot - 19% 2000 presidential election popular vote: Bush - 47.9% Gore - 48.4% The elected president in these elections was not voted for by the majority of people. /watch?v=W9H3gvnN468 And false, 1 vote is not equal when you consider the number of electoral college votes is not proportionate to the population of a state. /watch?v=7wC42HgLA4k Google can answer most of our questions, we just have to ask...and check the sources.

yes

We shouldnt have to supply it with money outside of paying for services either, but when they are in a deficit our taxes go to it

calculon000 Ever heard of toll roads?

Mystogan Edolas Yeah, we don't HAVE THOSE anymore. It's not a law or anything, they just inhibit free travel and trade more than they help pay for their own upkeep.

Argusthecat Where do you live? The U.S. totally has toll roads although not as many these days and most are made to fund local projects, typically pay for the road itself.

calculon000 The Post Office is expected to deliver a letter to any address in the USA for the price of a first class stamp, unlike UPS and FedEx. This is necessary for the country to function.

Not really, just the butt-hurt ones.

Except all of them are butthurt.

They should know that this is based on AP courses in the U.S...

John Gohn Its made by PBS. Funded in part by the American tax dollar.

They're just jealous.

sion8 Not to be confused with Crimea, the Russian president already got that.

sion8 y we so nerdy

Bob Hope​ I don't care what Russian law says on that matter, it didn't happen. And Putin sucks! Russia was better with out him. Parthav Poudel​​ I have no idea what that says!

sion8 Chimera Chimera Chimera Chimera Chimera!I'm not even a US!Chimera!

sion8 he's behind you...

rcutler9 about to get that solid 1

Emily Todd It's all fairly basic Newtonian mechanics. Barely worth a single video. Cool to go on, not actually that interesting from a science perspective.

bigglessy Well, it is a fairly solid vehicle for teaching a lot of base level applied Newtonian mechanics that is more interesting to many students than a lot of the commonly used scenarios.

vlademir1 Many do use it as an example. But it's not worth much beyond that example, is what I mean. There's not a lot of depth to them.
