  • @ClanWarp Why can't you side with those people who are 100 percent accurate? If you can't see that he is at least a muslim sympethizer, and you haven't heard Michelle Obama tell the world that Kenya is his home country, you really need to get in the loop.

  • Gas has continually increased forever. Pft.

  • adjudication!!! I WANT SOME FUCKIN' adjudication

  • it been more than two years that Obama has been in office! and people are still blaming bush, o and the democrats had control of both houses of congress sense 2006 two years before Obama took office. say hello to 5-6-7-8$/gallon gas and watch the cost of food double in price. the poor and everyone in this country are going to be screwed in america, hope everyone who voted for Obama is enjoying the hope and change!

  • @ABGAN100 Are you serious LOL stop bitching about the gas prices we pay over 10 dollars for a gallon where I come from, If you payed more for gas you would be more nature friendly and the money would desmantle the debth

  • @airHaakon how many miles do you on average drive to work? in the US many drive an average of 40+ miles/day and nature friendly is pure crap, global warming has already been debunked. and increasing the cost of oil to the us would not just effect the US nearly half the worlds grains are produced in the US so it oil goes up in price so dose grain. and all other food goods.

  • @ABGAN100 first of all you dont increase the price on oil you put higher taxes on it the oil price stays the same depending on the market!

  • @airHaakon raising the price of Oil ether by raising the tax or the cost of oil has the same effect the price of oil to the consumer goes up regardless of the market!

  • @ABGAN100 No because raising the taxes will give more money to the goverment which will raise your economic insecurity

  • @airHaakon you said " you dont increase the price on oil you put higher taxes on it" seems to me you were advocating increasing taxes on oil, now your saying that you want to raise economic insecurity. how do you suppose that will not effect the price of goods around the world do you really believe that manufacturers and food producers transporters etc everyone who uses that oil will not pass that cost on to the consumers?

  • @ABGAN100 The tax increase will only be put in place in your country so unless the other countries put higher tax on oil in their country the oil price will stay the same world wide

  • @airHaakon Your delusional if you think that Americans would be willing to go along with that! your also delusional if you think that exported good and food would not be effected by an tax increase, the US produces nearly 50% of all the worlds grains the price of exported grains would go up considerably! along with all other food goods exported from the US. of course its not going to happen the us is not going to raise taxes on oil not while we are in a recession.

  • qKdScVerrBU

  • gas prices are Barack's fault this time Cenk

  • This fucking liberal  asshole is a fucking idiot. FUCK THE TURK AND OBAMA

  • Drill drill drill

  • I want to punch this fucker in the face...look at the prices now you shit stain turks

  • The Young Turds,..I thought it smelled in here.

  • Drilling won't lower the price of gas that much, a few pennies per gallon maybe. Personally I'd rather not risk harming the environment.

  • its funny how obama is not leting them drill and its going to hit 5 bucks a gallon by 2012.mccain was rite.

  • @poorboytrucking As it was said in the video, our country doesn't get the oil, the corporations who buy it do. And who says they will help us out and lower prices? Like with many corporations, they are paying off the republicans so they can get legislation that is positive for them to make money and for us to be screwed over.

  • @poorboytrucking McCain was 1/2 and 1/2. 1st 1/2, he was ass-backwards for saying the prices were Obama's fault. 2nd 1/2, he's probably right about drilling in the mainland for oil, although maybe the government should do it rather than any generic companies.

  • Ignorant turks is more fitting. The ad obviously refers to Obama's anti-drilling stance.

  • When gas was $3 under Bush it was his fault. Its now back at $3......Let me guess STILL Bush's fault? WAIT TILL NOV 2010!! HAHHAHHA!!!

  • @mgallant01

    Yeah, it is Bush's fault, he ruined the world.

  • Bush was also responsible for the War of 1812. lol

  • I am a die hard liberal. I campaigned for Obama and I trusted him. But now that his signature is on the same Patriot Act that I protested under Bush, and since he is expanding the same wars I protested under Bush, I cannot trust this man. He is a liar, just like Bush.

    I'm voting for the third party, I don't care who it is. I want my Bill of Rights back. I want my money back. I'm sick of the liars.

  • @AnAxetoGrind Remember Obama also campaigned against nafta and hasn't done anything about it yet.

  • @AnAxetoGrind Ron Paul is the Man youve been voting fot Ron Paul 2012!!

  • @akxeel If Ron Paul becomes president, someone needs to take him out. President Obama can't fix the economy in 2 years.

  • The gas in my area has been rising slowly but steadily over the past few weeks.

    Damn Bush.

  • this is your best work ever, Cenk

    i laughed so much :)

  • in my area the gas price is dropping slowly but dropping

  • "I'm just trying to help a brother out." lol

  • gas is now $2.15 where i live GO OBAMA!!!

  • LOL, it's like a movie trailer! I love American politics and media for being so unprofessional and immature. It's like watching Disney Channel all day long. Good job America, keep on going, building up your cartoon-country.

  • That is resonate on a million levels

  • Let us not forget that fat ass rush limbaugh blames the current ression on OBAMA, and not on that bushy gang that was in power for 8 yrs, fuckin republicans, they are all the same.

  • @derail14

    The current recession should be blamed on the Federal Reserve. All the recessions in our nation's history has been caused by them. Hell, Bernake even admitted the Fed was responsible for causing the Great Depression.

  • Damn that Obama :l allways Conspiracing against the republicans. I never even thought he was the one behind gas prices going up. Well gotta admit he is some sort of superman. Like another McCain add showed us he is a Jesus and Moses

  • Why is even Mr McCain criticizing Obama when his own party under GW Bush refuse to cap gas prices after Hurrican Katrina. Just watch if McCain gets into power he wont do a single thing to reduce gas prices

  • Yes and It was Obama's fault that the Titanic hit the Iceberg and it was Obama's fault that the Hinderburg exploded. (Sarcasm)

  • @sevadaj

    Obama is the reason smallpox spread to the Native Americans. What a dick, right?

  • @sevadaj I'm glad some one sees the truth... This was coming, its been coming for a long time. All politicians are responsible. Nothing has been done to make our dependence on oil less . Get ready , these bastards don't care if we die from starvation for oil. Obama " that bastard can only do so much" it a little late for him to step in & do anything... He could go into our reserves " Get ready... its coming, 5.00, 6.00. We didn't believe it... but its here... Read my lips !

  • Will there be people who will solely blame it on Bush? Of course...but he does deserve the blame.

    Obama has done nothing to help matters though...to say the least. Massive spending when we are already over our heads in debt is hardly an answer.

    It's all of them...both parties and presidents...for decades that have led us to where we are right now.

    Really I'm just tired of everyone saying well it's the other side that screwed things up and then ignore the argument against them.

  • No no no people keep saying this. Obama is spending more money to stimulate the economy and create more jobs. It's an investment and a bit of a long term one!

    George Bush helped out the gas and oil companies SO MUCH and gave them so much tax breaks and they spent money on war that was built on lies! I'm talking about Iraq not Afghanistan. That's a billion times worse.

  • I'm still waiting for the economic boom that was forecasted by the Fed and others to occur the second half of 2008 - which was repeated several months ago to happen in 2009 - oh well, promises, promises.

    Unless substantial efforts are made on behalf of government and business policy as well as the will of the people, there will be absolutely no change in the direction of the economy - or is that the plan?

  • Spend do you want to do nothing

    That always works.

  • Its amazing how positive the media is constantly spinning the economy now with 9% unemployment and a deficit twice as big as before. They were all pretty doom and gloom with 5% unemployment, a healthy stock market and a deficit that, compared to the current one, looked tiny.

  • Hell it was the people post WW2 who made the guess that America and Europe will be the sole users of this limited resource for all time.

    But in the the proximate term if you were being so shot sighted to blame one person then its GW.

    If you are republican this is a epic fail add.

  • I blame Obama for Katrina and Tsunami! fucking bastard!

  • yah rly, he didn't use his supar powars then D:<

    greedy bastard!!11

  • Comment removed

  • So, now that the oil price is down is it Barak Obama or is it Dubia? Or maybe Palin? Some Republican waved his/her magic wand and made oil cheaper, right? Because it CANNOT have been Barak Obama. Right?

    Such nonsense.

  • Did he said Obama brought gas prices down? no, all he said was Barack couldnt have rise the gas prices cuz at the time he didnt have the power to do so. Come on dude, u are then one making no sense here, tottaly off topic. In fact, u sound like Sarah Pailin to me. We are talking about one thing and then u come up with something nobody mention or said, tottaly off topic.

  • no what xhagast said made complete and utter sense haha

  • err,people this day belive anything unstill someone talk somesence in them

  • There were actually alot of dumbshits who believed in off shore drilling, and believed all the propaganda that the Democrats were responsible for the rise in fuel prices.

    Don't get me wrong, the Democrats are not perfect , but to say that the Republicans are at par with them is insanity, the Republicans are FAR worse.

  • who watches this chanel i mean wtf

  • You obviously watch it.

  • and me

  • Go TYT

  • I have recently begun watching "the young turks" and i must say ive become addicted to it.. He is awesome. He tells everything like it is..

  • I also find myself watching these videos all the time. But I would definitely say that TYT have a clear liberal bias.  Not saying I don't enjoy that though :).

  • Sometimes they go the other way ...but I can see what your saying. And I enjoy it too. But isn't Cenk Republican?

  • he used to be. he became enlightened and switched parties

  • That is what sensible people do.

  • Since hes been elected gas has dropped. Its 1.76 in arkansas

  • yeah, but the decrease in gas prices has nothing to do with Obama's election! I hope you are not assuming that gas prices has fallen because of Obama getting elected.

  • it was a response to the video. If obama was secretly running the country hes finally dropped the price of gas.

    it most the stock market and supply and demand

    i don;t think he has anything to do with gas. I was just saying because some people think it is and some people think that it is a ploy the the bush admin to make him look bad if gas goes back up during hes presidency.

    It 1.57 now.

  • Of course, the fall of crude oil had to do mostly with the spike of unemployment, and the stock market crash which led to far less demand.

    I guess thats ONE thing we could thank Bush for though, if you can call that a good thing I dunno.

  • lol, yeah, I agree. Only people who don't own a house, don't own stocks, and have not lost their jobs can thank Bush for what he has done.

  • suck cock

  • everyone needs to quit saying "the elite" Its probably the dumbest phrase to come out of this election. worse than any cheezy nonsense that flew out of palins mouth.

  • i apoloogize, i shouldn't have sworn but it is the truth and if the democrats were going to change the country they would have started, they've controlled the congress since 2006 and they should have started to fix the economy and withdraw from iraq by now. and i sometimes think im the only one who knows but everything has to go through the congress so blame most of the bad things on yourselves democrats. PS you can spam me as much as u want that wont hide the truth

  • Well, at least you apologized for swearing.

  • Bush vetoed everything the democratic congress tried to do in order to repair the damage he and his administration have done.

  • LOL are you serious? Now the dems want to raise gas and diesel by 50%,tax farmers and ranchers $150 per head for every cow and steer,$20-$60 for every head of pig,force car companies to build cars that there is no technology to build.Un fucking real,liberals should all die for their lack of commmon sense.

  • gEORGE BUSH RAISED GAS PRICES BY 400% AND THAT RAISE WENT TO ARABS, BUT I GUESS YOU LIKE THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE A DIRTY TERRORIST

  • If I could vote I'd vote for Obama. MCcain is only talking negative about Obama. He has to focus more on America!

  • lol your right all mcain talks about is obama. I think mcain's obsessed with obama.

  • i wonder... have you seen any of obama's ads or speeches, or did you just see that on CNN. in case you didnt know they are the best democrat supporters out there :)

  • That man is always leaning on Senator Obama. He's a darned disgrace!!!

  • It is actually the Rockefeller elite that is running this problem, not Obama.

  • nah, there are lots of people in america that would believe that this ad is true.

  • "im just tryin to help a brother out" lol - very true all he says

  • macain is a dumb ass!

    its true!

    only people that are smart are voting for Obama!

    lol...!

  • fag

  • McCain is a FAG!

  • bla bla bla bla always Bushes falt !!!

    I get pissed off watching this video, I think I'll blame George Bush

  • Lett me guess, you like subway better than quiznoe's, you like family guy over simpsons, and you like wendys. if you do, that dosent surprise me, you are uneducated. did you even go to collage?

  • f u. mccain and palin r stuuuuupid.

  • i'm a mccain supporter too but thats just Fox news BS

  • drill for what?? only a tiny % of oil lies off us coastlines. so drilling will solve nothing.

  • hi blaupunkt...did you watch this? Our own oil?or exonn,shell etc..

  • its not necessarily people who are more educated are voting for obama. its more people who listen to the media too much and dont really think for them selves

  • i know its late but i noticed most of the educated people support obama!i dunno :-)

  • Fake Ass Republicans!!!

    Get out and vote and Stop the Hate!

    You'll Feel Great!!

    Enough is Enough

    With all this Republican Stuff!

    Obama-Biden'08 .....Stop the hate...

  • I nearly laughed my butt off when i saw this political ad several months ago. How on earth does Obama have anything to do with this?

  • COPY: NOTHING honest about Obama?

    He lies abt past political dealings, his family history, and associations with radicals and terrorists. He's involved in corruption scandals and is about big government that will take away our rights and freedoms. His views are nothing new, they are based on old marxism and socialism. I just dont get what people see in him. He is just another politician who will do and say anything to advance his political career.

    MARXIST OBAMA

  • this guy is wright Obama is not resposable for the gas prices not for anything.not good or bad NOBAMA did not do a fucking thing any where.Before Nacey wax the pole ski got elected for speaker she said i will lower the gas prices well what happend? thats when gas prices started going up and barney frank had nothing to do with anything bull shit the dems fucked up just as bad as every one else.BUSH IS NOT A KING that is why we have congress who had the house for the last 2 years i wonder wakeup

  • John McCain blames Obama for everything under the sun. McCain is a asshole who continues to show what a righteous fuck up he is. He can't win on merit so he lies about everything and blames Obama and other democrats for his own failure.

    Who caused the great depression of the 1930s? Obama. Who sank the Titanic? Obama. Who caused the 1906 San Francisco earthquake? Obama. Who caused the Challenger explosion in 1986? Obama.

    Who's going to bitch slap McCain and Palin back to idiot land? Obama!

  • thats a good one.....lol

  • Thanks....I wrote that myself.

  • Until anything happens in the next 2 weeks, i hope Obama wipes the floor with McCain, so i'm with ya =)

  • I appreciate that sir.

  • ummm gas prices are falling now... there 2.60 a gallon in my area.

  • cenk's is talking about who is the MOST responsible person for the gas prices,if you dont understand this,it means you want to support mccain no matter what.

  • dont forget, you stupid socialist-demos, that the people voted for change in 2006 giving the democrats power of congress. mean while its only 2 years till next election and and all congress has to do is sit on thier hands and do nothing let gas prices rise let the economy tank and have bush take all the blame after all every socialist-demo forgets that we do have a congress that doesnt not have to pass something bush wants. there was nothing wrong with these issues the first 6 years.

  • McCain didn't say that he rose gas prices and, it was more like if obama becomes president he doesn't prioritize drilling, and I do. Thats it. I can clearly see that you are very bias. I doubt you even look at the fact with an open mind. I guarentee by the way you talk and your logic that you twist everything in your head to be what you want. But good point that exxon own the oil. but that is neither democrats or republicans, that is currupt business with very deep roots.

  • so whats your solution? bush did it! bush did it!

  • mccain is one big blunder lol :P

  • "are you kidding me? that's a joke right?"

    No it's pure sinister propaganda. The kind evil people use. It lies and assumes you, I, and all americans are imbeciles.

    Will offshore drilling lower the price of gasoline in the USA? No. The investment and return have such a minor delta, that the only people who will benefit from it is the oil industry.

  • YOU referring to TheMormonMarine

  • Is this ad a joke..seriously.

  • Unfortunately I KNOW there is millions of people who are stupid enough to believe this. This country is riddled with morons who'll believe anything they see on T.V. or the Interent. If there weren't millions of retards out there then Bush would not have been re-elected.

  • McCain looks like Goldmember!!!!!!

  • how did obama "perfect" the art of negative campaigns? he has had a few negative ads, but thats nothing compared to john mccain

  • Obama hasn't attacked McCain personally in his ads. He has attacked McCain's wrongheaded policies.

  • Haha, all McCain does is attack Obama!

    Listen to this video from 3:29-3:35 that "anyone" is YOU...

    here is the order of suckage of the republicans

    Cheney>Bush>McCain

  • McCain would kill this technology too making it so that we would suffer paying high gas prices, I can't say Obama wouldn't but at least with him we have a chance not to.

  • Hydrogen powered vehicles are the solution and the technology has already been created, but the government is banning it because it would kill the ecomony. The gas industry would be obsolete as hydrogen power vehicles would require water a fuel (battery supplies electricity which when passed through water creates hydrogen and oxygen, my friend is building his own device so I am very familiar with it). In fact, Fox News already had a special on a car that ran on water. What happened to it Bush?

  • Mcain is a ass.

  • massive drilling causes earthquakes.

    instead those rich fucks drilling, why dont they start using electric cars or water fueled cars. lake ontario is big, i dont mind a water car

  • massive drilling causes earthquakes? the drills will have to go really deep

  • they do drill deep. and they are not taking there oil, they are storing other countries oils in america. then they will control the gas pries and food and such. its sad, but true.

  • OK the ad itself is not saying that it is all Obama's fault. It is indicating the the dems don't want us to drill and obama share's that same view. Which would mean the oil prices would not be fixed.

  • hey when gas started to soar it was in 2006...

    when dems got in office.

  • yeah right retard luke bush is a frekin retard it wasnt the dems

  • hey the you can complain about bush being stupid but the democrats have been in office for a while now and havnt done anything to stop rising gas prices

  • i mean in the congress.

  • no it was after 2003 when we started the war in Iraq. I still remember the gas prices were $2/gallon in October of 2004. and it was $2.50 by 2005 and it was skyrocketing since 2003. so don't blame the dems for this mess.

  • Seriously I remember the gas being 4 dollars in 2006. The gas prices this summer is 4.50. Man you are delirious. Gas prices rose mainly after 2002. I mean are you that retarted.

  • John McChange has changed his mind AGAIN.

    NOW that the Republican Free Market House of Cards has crashed and burned. Now that our economy is about to tank out.

    NOW McChange is For Regulation.

    But a couple a months ago he said, "I don't think anyone who wants to increase the burden of government regulation and high taxes has any real understanding of economics," McCain said this spring, when he also declared "the fundamentals of our economy are good."

    John McChange—clueless old flip flopper

  • in a few simple words i must say: i agree.

  • (also in response to bobwatters) Our founding fathers were federalists if you dont like large government do you support the new bush administration that has taken away our rights and spied on us and took away our right to privacy? The same administration that enlarged our federal government by adding new departments and wasted money to support them. We already had organizations that did the same thing. (CIA and FBI) Ill admit that Reagen and H.W. Bush had good foriegn policy not domestic policy.

  • I guess he's trying to say that's the power of hope. lol

  • Yeah, well basically McCain has no credibility left... All of his ads are so ridiculous, even Karl ROVE said "McCain's ads go one setp too far. They don't pass the *adult* test in believability." Why doesn't McCain quit his lying, quit his phoney movie trailer propaganda ads, and look the American public in the eye and give them some straight talk about real issues, instead of just using "straight talk" as ridiculous slogan considering McCain has squandered any drop of credibility he once had.

  • Obviously he is not saying that Obama is single handedly responsible for the gas price crisis, but rather the democrats in congress who have block efforts to tap energy sources in American. What is ridiculous is turning a blind eye to the truth and voting for a guy with no experience that touts a plan that will destroy our economy, military, small businesses, and families. Just a thought...

  • Yea since the Republicans had the senate house and presidency till 2006.

  • Drilling won't reduce gas prices. Even if it does, it won't be till 2030. Who ever tells you anything different, is fucking retarded.

  • Yes - McCain was pretty smart to choose that woman though, as she was the one threatening to succede from the union, taking alaska's oil away from US government control and putting it squarely in the hands of the free-market.

    At least with her on his side he stands a chance of keeping Alaska's reserves under the control of washington. Which at the very least gives the government some weapon against the oil corporations.

  • Are you kidding? What liars the republicans are! Everyone knows that the US reserves are almost nothing. That's why the oil companies aren't even drilling on the land they do have rights to. It's just a gimmick to trick the stupd voters to vote against their best interests!

  • liberal republicans own the presidency, democrats own congress.

  • Why are so many people supporting McCain and Palin???

  • yeah because helping people is a waste of money but killing people is just good buisness

  • during the iraqi conflict the republican party spent around 12 billion dollars a month on a pointless war and even still today 10 million a month. way more than the 845 billion you suggest. not to mention, even though i had to look it up, the 845 billion is spread out through 12 years. as for this "treaty" which i admit i've never heard of, congress has to aprove all international treaties for it to go into effect. don't be a moron and spread ignorance.

  • there's something i want to clarify before i respond to this. which gun ban are you talking about?

  • if i understand the article, the gun ban is not currently represented in the legislation but is a future goal of the program. and what does the kyoto protocols have to do with this?

  • lol that's actually something i agree with you on. the kyoto protocol is ridiculous and it's effects are superficial it's like taking a half step forward. but where did you get your info from that shows the list of bundled treaties?

  • A quagmire election before end of Empire falls all the rich-withdraw all they can till America-drops why? they don't care about us. they're going to destroy all major cities by weather microwave satellite-beams & use Dark-Rift force a.k.a. 2012 it's easy, wipe out all the poor by weather the rich hide underground into Arc system set by Europe empires, many will die about 91% of all north America only rich are saved Election distraction.
