  • oh my god cenk sould run for president he get both popular votes for being awesome and legit votes for promises hed definatly keep

  • Jeff Shesol is right.

    Cenk is wrong on this one if you ask me.

  • I love how outspoken Cenk is!!! And I was thinking as I was watching him imitate a president....... if he actually was the president of the US the whole world would be a better place;

  • @bbphnix

    To bad he cant be born in Turkey but he could run for govenor

  • President Uygur!!

  • I think the president should apologize to the people of Iraq....

  • Yeh man. "Democracy" doesnt even exist dude. When people are virtually forced to participate in an "election". &choose between 2 narrow minded political veiws, thats a disguised dictatorship. Besides that, the decisions are based on false flagged facts. Its a big lie! (fools game)

  • FANTASTIC!!! TWO THUMBS UP AND FIVE STARS!!! Cenk is right and, if Obama said this, he would be re-elected. He is a coward though and doesn't have the balls to do this.

  • Afghanistan used to have powerful empires. They even attempted to take India.

  • Pure balls..i wish he would get he damn private contractors out as well

  • CENK FOR PRESIDENT!!!

  • I hope Cenk will enlist (i dont know the word for it) for president some time soon. His vision of things is very clear and logic.

  • Where can i vote for Cenk?

    

  • Should a country NUKE Mecca?

  • Bah American keeps getting tricked with fancy words by retards like Obama and Bush....If Obama wasn't black then McCain would of won...Its harsh...But fact...Americans need to go back to JFK, Clinton and Teddy presidents..

  • OH SNAP

    CENK HAS LEGS

  • you just don't get it Al-Queda isn't some overarching plan ruled over by Osama bin Laden to take over the world, it's an idea fueled by the injustice in the middle east to attack people who are exploiting that part of the world. Best way to defeat them stop giving them reasons to despise you.

  • @Havaanie Thumbs up for that! But I don't think this logic will trickle through to the minds of politicians who are in bed with defense contractors.

    "Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love. This is the eternal rule."

    Buddha figured this out in 500 B.C. Conservative minds think a little slower, I guess.

  • Cenk that was a great speech. Keep it up :) If you ever ran for president id vote for you hands down.

  • Cenk being incredible reasonable as usual, the most reasonable man in America

  • CENK UYGUR -- ALAN GRAYSON 2012

  • Watching that little shitbag speechwriter rationalising "business as usual" you come to realise how lawyers can make dumb juries believe O.J. was innocent, Michael Jackson did`nt molest kids & that Fox is a real news channel. THAT`S one of the fuckers right there. One of the ones who ensure you NEVER get real change, NEVER get a competent government & that everything stays fucked up. -Oh, and Cenk is FUCKING GREAT here.

  • The stimulus, Obamacare, financial reform have exhausted his first-term mandate. It will bear no more heavy lifting. And the Democrats will pay the price for ideological overreaching by losing one or both houses, whether de facto or de jure.

  • How about if the president acknowledge the death of hundreds of thousands iraqis? Killed by bombs, dropped from the skies to their thousand years old cities, on their thousands years old building, he may have talked about the amount of iraqi patriots killed by the occupational forces, while calling them terrorists. How many people, tortured, slaughter during the tyranny that was the military occupation of Iraq? The USA has lost its credibility decades ago, dont worry about that.

  • @DarkPractitioner About time someone looked it from their perspective. Well said.

  • If Cenk became president I would kill myself so I could prevent the next eight years of a constant erection.

  • Im SO glad Cenk is on MSNBC. He always sums up my thoughts perfectly! I love him!

  • Cenk Uygur, he has guts and boldness. Cenk for President. PERIOD!!!

  • Richard Engel is one sexy 'mothafucka'; come tap my boypussy!!!!

  • Cenk Uygur for President!!!

  • great speech

  • Cenk you are getting fatter. Exercise lose some weight for God's sake. Must pay pretty well to be a Democrat hack.

  • @jcfeltersnatch Y'know, its been shown that people readily turn to physical insults when they have no signifigant point to offer.

  • @dude355476300

    Or pretend to have points like Cenk .................right?

  • Imagine how much we could have helped our economy if we had spent that money here with, say, a trillion dollar stimulus? I get it! He's trying to be funny cause we did that already and it was a miserable failure lolol!

  • LOL 100,000 KILLED, TRY OVER 1 MILLION DUDE

  • Who the fuck is this hack amateur?

  • @dgallegos4201 the guy banging your mother in the throat everynight

  • @DCisMINE FTW

  • Iraq did NOTHING Nuuuuuuthing. AT All @ alll.

    afghanistan on the other hand needed our attention but NOT U.S. Troops.

    You don't send an army to handle that situation.

    didn't we learn anything from vietnam?

    keep it small. go at them the same way the israelis went after those spies.

    who sends 50,000 troops to combat 150 "gang members".

  • Hilarious how everybody is commenting of his fat now.

  • "No applause?" See, that's why the TYT soundboard needs to be on MSNBC.

  • Speech writers? Hahaha....part of the problem. When you got a President who needs speech writers, you got a severe problem already.

  • @OmarThePug

    Considering most/all of the US Presidents have had speech writers I'd say we've had a severe problem for some time now, don't you think?

  • United States of Amnesia....

    Invasions (they were not wars) of Iraq and Afganistan, were not the only places where civilians were killed in the last 10 years......any American remember Syria or Pakistan.

    Most people in America don't realise that the USA is a militaristic Imperial country.

    Check out this video and comment back to me

    youtube.com/watch?v=e4_bjm2eza­U

  • @nikolasramsay You are either joking or your a complete idiot...

  • Also Cenk, I think you should have made the case that the invasion of Iraq was ILLEGAL. The US and UK managed to secure Resolution 1441 (for further arms inspections in Iraq), but they were not authorised to attack another sovereign nation. This action was wrong under the UN Charter (it was not a war of self-defence and Iraq did not pose a serious threat to the US and UK). The war is also illegal under the Rome Statutes, the Kellog-Briand Pact and the Nuremberg Principles. Make the case!

  • @BeholdZeus despite what you may think.....there is no such thing as international law

  • I'm so happy to see Cenk doing so well.

  • Excuse me, over 100,000 Iraqis killed. Are you taking the piss? I think what you meant to say was over 1.2 million Iraqis killed (see studies conducted in The Lancet and Johns Hopkins School of Epidemiology; also see ORB study). Let's not rubbish the lives of the innocent and make light of the huge losses that were accrued by the citizens of Iraq in all this. Get your facts straight Cenk.

  • Wow, I'm seriously disappointed that the captions are real instead of hilariously approximated.

    Also, great speech, Cenk man.

  • One of the talking points often brought up in these kinds of debates, usually by people who have never been in the armed forces, is that troops will somehow be dishonored if it is admitted that a war was a mistake. Even worse, during the Bush years, this argument was used as an excuse to somehow justify sending more troops in harm's way. That's insane.

    These men and women want to come home safe to their families, they want to hear the truth, and trust me, they will not be dishonored by it.

  • Laughed my ass off when he was walking over to make the speech.

  • Ooooooh Cenk. That camera angle when you stood up didn't flatter you at all.

  • Cenk looks fatter when he walks. That desk does a great job hiding it.

  • @DiverseLA lol thats what i was thinking

  • OMG, Cenk has legs!!! 

  • What? Cenk has legs.

  • Man if Cenk kicked any more ass, he'd be asked for a part in Expendables 2!

  • precious american life,lol that cenk is funny :)

  • Cenk needs to lose some of that fat.

  • OMG He Is Using A Teleprompter.....

    The Teleprompter Tells Cenk Uygur Just Like It Tells Obama....

    Beware The Illuminati.

    (Sarcasm Intended)

  • epic speech. Cenk is a fucking god.

  • Reagan, Bush Sr/Jr, & Rumsfeld gave Saddam money, training & support and Sold Saddam countless WMDs (Biological & Chemical) all throughout 80s & 90s, they wanted free oil from Saddam and wanted Saddam to use the US-made Biological/Chemical Weapons on Iran & its innocent civilians but Saddam instead chose to use the American weapons against the Kurds, the Shiites & everyone else in Iraq that would not bow down to him. America DID NOTHING but sit by and watch, and after 2003, USA killed 2 Million.

  • @halcyon0830

    don't forget war pretty much takes money straight from the average american taxpayer and puts it directly into the hand of the billionaire military industrial complexes. these bastards have so much money and so many lobbyists, they can buy congress and government to keep war going, and insuring their profits keep skyrocketing

  • American Troops and Corrupt Contractors have Bases in Almost EVERY SINGLE Country on Earth.

    After America starts a War based on Lies, IT NEVER EVER LEAVES A COUNTRY WHICH IT HAS INVADED. NO TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY HAS NAZI AMERICA EVER LEFT A COUNTRY IN WHICH US TROOPS/ NEOCONS/ZIONISTS/ISRAEL/CORPOR ATIONS HAVE CREATED A WAR INSIDE.

    USA WILL NEVER LEAVE Iraq, EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY AMERICA STARTS A WAR INSIDE, AMERICA INSTALLS A PUPPET GOVERNMENT FULLY CONTROLLED BY NAZI USA NEOCONS/PENTAGON/CIA.

  • <3.

  • War is always a mistake.

  • great speech!!!

  • Cenk ftw !

  • Cenk you should be president.

  • cenk is the fairest man in america

  • @dorkydevil u mean fattest

  • @dorkydevil HAHAHA!!!

    I needed a laugh today!

  • Guys, frictionRx5 is a troll. He comments on almost every TYT video insulting liberals and the left wing. He's a troll. Ignore him.

  • @StirItUP1973 agreed. i think he a big fan or somethin lol

  • He's gr8! Someone give this men a beer and show him tits! :D

  • Comment removed

  • LOL@the caption mistake. The people who make YT captions don't know the word "milquetoast"? come on, YT. Get wit it

  • The defense contractors and the thousands of corporate heads are laughing their asses of to this "Can you imagine a president who doesn't follow what we say? HA that's a good one Cenk!"

  • I love you Cenk my man!

  • I prefer Cenk's speech. And i think this speech would be an added uplift to the economy with all jobs it would create. We would need cleanup crews all over the states what with all the explodeing heads right! Well, thats assumeing that extreamists listen at all..

  • Man Cenk is doing a great job! keep it that way....

  • Why isnt Cenk president yet??

  • @AdventCK i think he was not born in the US.

  • @Netha08 damn ur rite, i forgot about that part

  • Hey @frictionRx5 do you mind posting one comment where you don't type HAHAHA in caps as if you are winning some sort of fight against us. I see it all the time, people who want to act like they're right in some way and winning some fight against everyone else in the comments here. Stop posting in caps with LOL! and HAHA! and EPIC FAIL! because it's not funny, and it's just childish.

    Grow up, and stop being so arrogant.

    No one is going to take you seriously you prick.

  • Yeah, it sucks telling veterans that they died for a total mistake.. BUT THEY DID DIE FOR A TOTAL MISTAKE!! The sake of someone's sensitivities is no reason to continue a war or to watch your mouth in a speech.

  • @williafx, so true. My dad is a vietnam vet and feels the same way. Besides most soldiers realize, bullshit or not, what you hopefully did best over there was keep your comrades and yourself alive, and maybe doing some good work.

  • @williafx

    Total mistake? They got rid of Saddam.

  • @SENTRY000 "They got rid of Saddam"---which caused the collaspe of Iraqi society.

  • dont feed the troll

  • Comment removed

  • @frictionRx5 YOU BE TROLLIN! 4/10

  • Too strong!!!

  • GO Cenk, I love that speech!

  • Cenk 4 Prez!!!

  • I LOVE YOU CENK!!! Please run for Congress soon.

  • @frictionRx5 just go away man!

  • I wish we could have Cenk for President. :(

  • @XGP15A3 Cenk for Vice President then.. or Sec of State..

  • @XGP15A3

    too bad he's a secret Muslim!

    wait he is a Muslim....or was.....nevermind

  • Iraq=Vietnam

  • CENK youre the man!

  • Cenk for president!!

  • TYT army is coming!

  • @justified1975 I bet, He would still be the best presidnt youd have, and Fyi, More then half of your presidint have been fat, Others Ugly, The rest Just Greedy.

  • While I agree that Obama needs to attack, I don't think that the Iraq address would have been the correct moment for it. He needs to focus on the troops so that afterwards he can kick the Republicans HARD and not worry about the "You hate the troops" bullshit.

  • Cenk is so wrong again!!!!!

    most people voted for him because he conned them into believing he was a centrist and moderate and would govern from the center. Cenk assumes the majority of Americans are far-left loons, whereas in reality they form the small lunatic fringe within the Dem party. they ARE what Rahm Emanuel called the "fucking retards" (He He)

    what Obowma should say is that he opposed the troop surge, and he was wrong as usual

    he voted "No" on the war knowing he had nothing to lose

  • If I was president, I'd say that anyone that supports the war gets an instant tax increase. This will be a great way to gauge how many Americans support the Iraq war.

    If we did this, then support for the war would drop from 35% to 0.0000001% overnight.

  • @Scipio2021 Most likely illegal and unconstitutional. But that is a fun thought.

  • @Scipio2021 lol nice

  • @Scipio2021

    If I was president, I would get elected on Saturday, would be murdered on Sunday, then go back to work on Monday; if I was president...

  • america fucks up every war they go into!

  • Comment removed

  • @ColJ2 haha when has that ever worked. This is America. 70% thought Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11.

    Americans are best described by 2 words:

    1. Fat

    2. Stupid

    And that is no way to go through life really. So If you want your news on a slow drip while sipping your tea, watch Rachel Maddow. Her viewers are not that many so youll be needed.

  • @CognosSquare Maybe I will, thanks for the tip. :p

    In reality I usually watch BBC.

  • Actually Instead of Obama saying all that he should have just said that he is going to resign. Worst president in American history and he has ensured that no Afro American will ever become president in the future.

    I voted for him but sadly Obama is just a Retardlican in Democrats clothing. And not just your typical Retardlican either. He is one of the most corrupt of them all.

  • BEAUTIFULLY SAID!

  • Aside from Afghanistan, I completely agree.

  • @SamHagagaga

    Are you an idiot?

  • Cenk for president!

  • heres what he should say, while I bankrupt the american taxpayer and give away unearned tax revenue to my union supporters, please don't question my bending over for the muslim world. fuck you young douches

  • @TheUnitedStatists you should advertise your 3rd party that will lead America out of bankruptcy, since it's clear you have to despise the GOP for the Iraq war and the tax cuts that were a huge factor in bankrupting America. Denying this is like denying the Village People are gay.

    Or are you going to say vote Republican because they borrow and spend less and that we should be content with this?

  • @Scipio2021 Even though they dont borrow and spend less they claim to but look at deficits when a republican president is in office they just shift the spending on revenge wars

  • @smdiddy When the GOP "leadership" dodged the question about how the Bush tax cuts will be paid for, they proved what I always knew, that they're fake conservatives and only use the "small government" mantra to block any reforms they don't like.

  • cenk for president

  • I knew enk would loosen up on television after getting used to it!!!

  • @upplsuckimcool16

    are you referring to that bloblike walk he did?

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LOL!

    not only does dipshit young turk think this juvenile leftwing loon speech is a great idea, some deranged MSNBCrap producer actually said yeah go ahead and do it

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

    what a total fucking pathetic joke of a network

    EPIC FAIL!

  • @frictionRx5 you keep posting your totally fuckin g pathetic joke of an opinion over and over ya fuckin loser. Only helps add to the views and giving TYT more money.

  • @DTMTroy HAHA!

    hey troy ur still a big fat disgusting pig right

    have u been reclassified from a small moon to a planet yet?

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    filthy canadian SCUM!

  • @frictionRx5 and who are you, i hope we stop giving you guys oil and lumber. and shut off the power to many of your northern citys. without us you guys would be fucked. we would befine without u shitheads, living beside america is like having to share a room with a drug addict who wont shut the fuck up or stop messing up the room

  • @TheInfamousCanadian HAHA!

    are you a canadian SCUM?

    man how I would love to reattach Mexico directly to your stupid border and let you idiots deal with those vermin

    YEAH!

  • @frictionRx5 dick

  • @frictionRx5 lol a few years ago you guys build a fence on the canadian boarder and demanded we pay for half (even tho we dont give a shit about the fence) but why dont you guys build a fence on the mexican boarder other then worrying about canadians. are you guys scared were gonna burn your whitehouse again? ahahahaa! your fence on mexico obvoiusly sux so its your own peoples fault

  • @TheInfamousCanadian HAHA!

    canadians harbor muslim terrorists and filthy liberal cowards who desert the U.S. military and everyone knows it

    LOL! Canada=land of the coward wimps

  • @frictionRx5

    ahh the narcissist little prick is back.

    wassamatta little fella, has paaww spit yer sphincter again or has your sister stopped producing milk?

    Do the world a favour and die of cancer soon you ignorant little butt nugget

  • @frictionRx5 i agree with you as long as we have enough nukes to destroy the world 3x over and have wars cause we feel like it were the best country in the world (that was sarcastic, btw im canadian and we are the first country to get out of your stupid global reccession because you don't control your banks we on the other hand do)

  • @frictionRx5 So what's your solution? Should we vote Republican, which is a proven sucky option? Or should we vote 3rd party? If so, then why don't you advertise the 3rd party you support?

    Or is your mind that feeble that you have no answers?

    Saying "liberals suck" over and over but advocating a crappy option like voting GOP only means that you're an advocate of the same sucky leadership you despise, thus making your opinion worthless.

  • @Scipio2021 yes vote Republican

    once they take control the 1st order of business will be to punish the filthy useless vermin liberal SCUM that infest America

    YEAH!

  • @frictionRx5 Why vote Republican if they're no different than the GOP that the American people rejected in 2006 and 2008?

    If the GOP were such solid leaders then they'd still be in power right now. Why do you trust the GOP to do the right thing now after they screwed up so bad in the past? (please deny the GOP screwed up and prove your an idiot yet again)

    Your mantra of "a return to the Bush era" proves your impotence yet again.

  • @frictionRx5 and why vote Republican when vile people like you represent them?

    Your kind were wrong to attack the patriotism of those that questioned the Iraq war, so why should we vote for anyone that got it so very wrong?

  • @Scipio2021 HAHA!

    you leftwing pukes just don't get it

    you're not Americans

    you liberal scum don't live in America, you infest it

  • @frictionRx5 The fact you're to impotent to have an honest debate with me, you only prove that we the people need to keep voting your Republican kind out of existence.

    You have no answers to solve America's problems, nor can you say how the GOP of 2010 is any different from the GOP of 2006 and 2008. Keep ignoring these topics and keep proving my point of how stupid your kind are and why the Republican party is worthless.

  • @frictionRx5 Why vote Republican if they're no different than the GOP that the American people rejected in 2006 and 2008?

    I can copy/paste that question for 10 years and you'll refuse to answer, thus proving the GOP is worthless.

  • @frictionRx5

    troll

  • @frictionRx5 Oh you're still here... Man I stopped caring months ago.

  • @frictionRx5 and who ever says epic is a homosexual... or atleast a bisexual

  • @TheInfamousCanadian. As a fellow Canadian I'm begging you to ignore frictionRx5. He's just a racist Amrican prick and whimp sitting in his parents' basement acting tough trolling TYT 24/7 because he has no life. No offence to my American neighbors btw. The stuff I said about friction being a racist American prick was meant for him and people like him. I know most of you don't fell the same way about Canada as he does.

  • @cne08 Post in Fwench. Be a good Canuck.

  • If our Republican leadership lived in Germany in 1939, they would have supported Hitler's invasion of Poland, because by not doing so would be disrespecting their country's troops.

    That's the argument you're looking for Cenk. Ask any Republican if they would support Hitler, or would they question his war making policies.

  • @Scipio2021 Hey, friction is a troll. Stop feeding him. He NEVER makes an actual point.
