  • T Y T... The Young Turds Network

  • All liberals do is complain about other liberals. Funny.

  • T Y T A total waist of time.

  • That's soooooooo funny because that is exactly what has happened over the past year.. You were right Cenk!

  • half the people who leave comments on these videos, are smarter than the president on what needs fixed and what doesn't. The people need the power to decide what gets passed and what doesn't.

  • I can't believe this guy when says the Republicans are not bi-partison when the democrats have not been bi-partison in the last 60 years, and was real obviuos since Pelosi and Ried have been head of the House and Senate. All the meeting without the Republicans.

  • Well hates off to Obama for not sinking to the republicans level and making a partisan war out of it.

  • Before he would accept the appointment to chairman, he made a deal with the governor to appoint a republican. Don't remember where, but there was media coverage on it.

  • What is being forgotten here is that by alienating a group only empowers, if the republicans decide to be assholes and ubstruck all the time, it will kill the republican party. If the GOP doesn't sit down and shut up soon, people will stop following them, the democrats are giving them that possibility, and if they take the bait, it's there own fault. I for one don't believe in a one party control government, there needs to be at least three groups in there.

  • Just to point out NEVERWRONG, that during the republican Bush administration, America: had new laws that restrict people's civil liberties, was attacked by terrorists, entered into a massive recession including a crash in the stock market, has had large increase in fuel costs, and currently, a Republican majority in Texas want to secede from the union.

  • Neverwrong? More like 100%WRONG!

    You fail to understand what you're talking about. Do yourself a favor and if you don't know what you're talking about, don't comment. It makes you look stupid.

  • What about the Jew leaders in Russia that killed Russian citizen just because they followed Russian traditions? Nobody talks about that, only the holocaust. 6 million UKRANIANS lost their lives in the 1920's and 30's, due to Jewish leadership liquidating them. So Jews are not blamless.

    And now, Israel is causing problems for the USA.

  • What I am saying is since the Fuherer and Germany lost in 1945, it allowes Muslims to fill up Europe, which is killing Europe. So the allies are the real losers. Under Adolf Hitlers Reich, Muslims would of never been allowed to step foot in Europe.

  • all Muslims, Jews, and anyone who didn't look wight like them would also have been killed in mass numbers. the problem is not Muslims, but the radical groups that hide behind Muslim faith. Here in the USA we have the same problem with chrichen groups that use the bible to justify hurting other people. Muslims are good people, they just need to clean there house out.

  • I think he's in love with Obama, in a gay way...

  • Europe is finished. It is filling up with Muslims. You may think Germany lost the war, but in reality, England and France lost, because look at Europe now.

  • Whats the fact that Europe has a higher population of Muslims have to do with anything? And WTF are you talking about Germany not loosing, if they won why isn't there a European Nazi government in place right now? Europe is in a economic mess, so is essentially every continent in the world right now.

  • In my 40 years of listening to the news, the Turk is right. Everytime a Democrat is in they band together and talk crap about the incumbent and when they're in office they pass policies that get rid of the policies that stop them from taking advantage of the american taxpayers. They keep doing this until things happen like our banking system fiasco.

  • this guys a tool

  • I was referring to the Dems' attitude, not the bill specifically.

    Yes we live in a representative/DEMOCRATIC/cons­titutional-republic but I've only 500 characters/post.

    Yup our representatives are supposed to work for us, but often don't so I often disagree with them.

    I'm aware of how tight our budget is AND how much we need to act, so it needs to be done right, but the Reps're just trying to make it worse. Also, Obama promised this, and the US needs to see the President keep his word right now.

  • Obama needs to grow some balls, he can't keep giving into the GOP. In a perfect world it would probably work but if he's going get things done, he can't be too quick to compromise.

  • You liberals tend to think that Europe is free! What a laugh, it is not! We are not "behind" Europe at all. Do you know it is illegal to speak negitivly against gays there? Or Muslims? Europe has effectivly destroyed free speech with hate crimes laws. Dr. Goebbles and the Fuhrer would be proud.

  • I have friends and spend time there and have no idea to what you are referring? France, Germany and UK

  • He's talking with no experience to back him.

  • Sorry, this is not meant for turk but for cmm800's response to calimar28

  • Maybe their educational system is paying off by respecting people and the system, that taught you to speak against people you don't know, is obviously underfunded and produces haters who resort to name calling. I personally had enough of the Bush hate speach. Thank you for using this response to get a European Education

  • The democrats keep trying to meet the same republicans halfway that keep refusing to budge, so we keep slipping to the right. Then the world looks at our health care, education, use of the death penalty, and foreign policy and wonders how we're supposed to lead from BEHIND almost every other free, developed country.

    Democracy's a competition of ideas, there's no escaping that.

    Look at your approval rating, people want the ideas you supported. Your job's to get as much of that done as you can.

  • Im laughing Cenk! Your communism will not get passed during the next two years! you libs had your chance...you blew it! BAHAHAHAHAH funny stuff!

    If you dont like it, too bad for you! Tee hee hee...

  • No it's not and it's deplorable. But I didn't hear you bitching and crying when Bush introduced such an extreme measure. Single issue voters like you are the reason why America gets weaker

  • I just find it hilarious that you would bend over while Bush raped the constitution and spied on us and journalists and fail to recognize how dangerous and totalitarian that was yet while Obama is trying to create jobs after the mess Bush left him with you're throwing up your arms about the dangers of socialism.

  • What r u talking about u idiot. ok last forty years reagan. the best president ever.

  • Before or after his Alzheimer's kicked in? Remember his referring to military uniforms as "costumes"? Or reclassifying ketchup as a vegetable in grade school cafeterias? And who can forget his classic, "We don't want to throw out the baby with the DISH water"? But I kid the dead, he wasn't all that bad. Now Bush, that's another story altogether. Am I the only one who's tired of America being the most despised country in the world? Wouldn't it be nice to regain the respect we used to enjoy?

  • If you won't say it, I will. "IT"S NOT POSSIBLE!"

  • Actually I'm right. I've read studies showing that giving corporations and rich people tax breaks does not encourage them to offer more jobs. It encourages them to invest that money in stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.. and to enrich themselves. If tax breaks could be given to the middle class, then something might happen. Besides we need rich peoples tax dollars to pay for all this debt now. Time to repeal the Reagan tax cuts.

  • but for the war?

  • Socialism here we come!

  • By the way, (sarcasm ahead) I assume you were against all the billions we wasted and continue to waste in Iraq, right? And you probably were against the bank bailout because it was letting the people who got us into the mess off the hook, right?

  • You sure are getting into it with folks on this board, aren't you? Wow, you must not work for a living. You're probably in that top 1% that wants lower and lower taxes so you can not hire anyone and put the money into investments while you sit around the pool and wait for the dividend check to arrive in the mail. Your game is up and furthering it will not help us get out of this mess. We need JOBS with living wages, not lower taxes on rich people.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sure there might have been some ridiculous items in there and the ones that won't lead to anything definitive and are just hand-outs to buddies need to be removed. But, having said that, many items sighted by the critics are neccesary and will lead to a better economy including investing in our children's health and protecting our ecosystems. Like it or not, they have an effect in the end. It's time to start caring about that stuff and not just the top 1%

  • Comment removed

  • Perhaps I am being rude, but you and your fellow Rush Limbaugh apologists have dragged this country into the ground I for one am not looking to make friends getting us out of it. Ask any economist on the right or the left and you will find out that this bill must pass in its present form in order to do anything. Doing nothing as an alternative will lead to a massive depression. Supply-side economics has run it's course, we need the government to INVEST IN OUR COUNTRY because no one else can.

  • No, this bill was intended for long term economic growth and definitive change from our reckless policies of tax cuts for the rich. Extending Medicaid does create jobs and invest in our long term success as a country. You want it all and you want it now, but the key here is long term growth and sustainability, something Reagonomics disciples fail at. A job is a job is a job. Who cares where it is. There is no alternative. The alternative of tax cuts for the rich got us into this mess.

  • Gmail123, grade schools engage in heterosexual "indoctrination" all the time. Every story book that has a father/mother or prince/princess theme is a blatant attempt to "indoctrinate" children. If you're as intelligent as you believe yourself to be, you'll have picked up on the fact that I didn't care for your use of the word "indoctrination. Don't think of it as indoctrination; think of it as teaching diversity, tolerance and understanding, because that's what it truly is.

  • and if there aren't 600 000 immediatepositions to be made in the private sector? short term fixes? why funnel all of this money if there are no plans on sustaining it? it makes no sense

  • also there is a time when nitpicking about the size of government was appropriate but given the current situation how could your stance on government not change? In the interest of the country you'd think you'd concede that America needs a BIG boost from government. Since you're a family man, think of the families who need this

  • OK fair enough. Those are ok values. I disagree with your stance on gay marriage assuming you're against it and most likely your stance on abortion. If you believe that being far right/radical is bad, then you wouldn't support a religious zealot like Sarah Palin (who by the way is stupid.. come on? can you deny it?) because of your similar family values. If you had common sense, you would consider other issues before supporting Palin, who is repping the far far far right

  • Safe? We have never been so hated ever. And clearly you place no value on civil liberties. You love America yet you don't feel the need to boost the economy with a stimulus package after the mess he was left with? What do you propose the president does then to save the economy?

  • This list is never ending. There is a plethora of links on youtube demonstrating the rights refusal to base anything on fact; a big one? Invading Iraq under the guise that they had WMDs. Your refusal to acknowledge Darwin's theories, your insistence that dinosaurs existed with Jesus, didn't you get the memo? Republicans don't care for facts. They blatantly lie on their "news" broadcasts. Amazing. Ignorance is bliss huh?

  • my how clever. a gaffe by nancy pelosi. If you want to play that game I have whole calendars of Bush gaffes for every day of the year. No matter what the republican will always be dumber because they base nothing on fact but pretend they do (case in point)

  • um favouriting fox isn't winning you any credibility. My attacks are personal but you can't deny it. It's true and so transparent. Why don't you go invest this energy in praying to God instead that Obama doesn't succeed and another crazy GOP can go wreck this country all over again

  • Please, you want to compare Pelosi and Palin? Palin is dumber than a rock. My kid brother in elementary school knows more geography and politics than she does. Oh and never mind Palin hires witch doctors from Africa to remove demons from her in public and thinks Iraq is a mission from God. She's insane. You single issue voters make me sick Otherwise why the hell would you ever make the argument that Palin could even run a household properly nevermind the fucking country.

  • No I expect great things from Obama but I know the hole that he is in due to your genius president before him. It's not the best way to win an election but it's fact. People remember the Bush years accurately.

    cont'd

  • Really where are your facts coming from to suggest that Obama is going to turn America communist. Do you really expect to make such statements and not appear idiotic? Bush brought about change in the form of welfare handouts to Wallstreet because he couldn't manage the government.. we have all this money for Wallstreet and not for healthcare? wish the best for this country my ass, you want tax breaks and no abortion. You're so transparent.

  • Yes united in getting a looney like Sarah Palin to run in 2012.. keep going. I cannot believe a group of people could be so socially inept. All the democrats have to do is prove they are not as catastrophic as the Bush administration. Therefore, your boy Bush already won Obama his second term for him.

  • As a "big fan of American history" you should be able to retain the events of the last 8 years. But it seems that your mental capacity is such that you cannot grasp the consequences of rightwing ideology. Facts do not change just because you selectively decide to forget the past 8 years.

  • please you're as ignorant as they come. I already saw your favourites. your sources are jokes. where have you been? on the fringes clearly

  • The GOP is dying, you're in denial

  • Really? you bible clutching looney show me where you get your facts.. FOX? God?

  • Obama is drawing the Republicans in a caral. The public will not forgive the Republican party if they are the ones that is seen to fail to put through policy that will help America. Obama is building the GOP up for total failure in the next electorial campaign by exposing them as anti-american. The GOP has to lie low and refocus and come up with a clear direction, but Obama is not allowing them to do this and tying them to any failings.

  • KKK? What the fuck are you talking about xD those where white Southern conservatives. You can stick whatever label you want on them if it makes you feel better. But know this, you're not even fooling yourself much less anyone else. There's a very good reason why today's republican party is a party of old southern white males.

  • That's funny. I'm pretty sure it was the Republicans that ended up nationalizing all of the big businesses. If that is your argument then the Republicans (among other things) have definitely put us on the path to totalitarianism. I like how you wish to wash this off the hands of the Republicans. Fact is, the republicans made us more communist than at any time ever.

  • i knew obama was going to fail

  • Gmail, you have to love the tenacious crazy that motuivates the Loyal Bushie. Like the Loyal Nazi, he repeats lies, throws squid ink into the water, and pretends to be the exact opposite of what he is.

    Americans, DO NOT BE FOOLED! gmail counts on ignorance of history Senator Bilbo would be a Republican today, and a crazy Hannidiot like gmail, at that.

    Go sell that soap to your Republican KKK buddies. They might be that dumb to buy it.

  • Bushies and Nazis - liars both. Both accuse their victims of what the Bushies and Nazis are doing themselves.

    Liars and disgusting disgraces. Enemies of America. Bushies and Nazis, they are one and the same, they are liars and propagandists, frauds and theives.

    KKK is Republican. They would have been Republican THEN, but the Party of Lincoln is now the Party of Robt. E. Lee.

    The KKK joined the Republicans in the 70s.

  • gmail is a lunatic Bushie propagandist. The shamelessness of his lies The KKK switched to the Republicans long ago. Lincoln would be a Democrat today.

    gmail with his Buishie Lies Bushies Lies, same as Nazi lies about the Jews. Nazis and Bushies accuse their victims of what they ARE!

    gmail, you are a vile excuse for a human being and a traitor to America You disgrace.

  • No after the lats 8 years you cons/reps have a right to shut the fuck up and nothing more.

  • part of the new world order its coming

  • i have a feeling the next four years is gonna be cenk doingexactly what hes doin right now

    "maybe he has a plan"....despite the very clear evidence that he is cowtowing and generally being weak.

    when is the jury gonna be ready cenk? cuz the jury cant be out for much longer...on a whole bunch of issues.

    man ive been really disapointed with obama so far.

  • loool "Islamofascist"??? What on earth is that??? loool i am muslim and never heard such thing. Did you replace Terrosist with ISlamofascist??? Cant we just be Muslim who enjoy soccer and tea?

  • haha well said brother.

  • Lincoln wanted the blacks sent back to Africa.

  • Those were actually the Republicans, because the parties switched affiliations after Reconstruction--the Democrats became Republicans and vice versa. Read your history. Lincoln was actually a Democrat.

  • It's true that Republicans would have never done something similar, but Obama wanted Judd Gregg, and Judd Gregg wasn't retarded enough to have anything to do with it unless he knew that a Republican Senator would replace him. So, unless he had an agreement that that would be so, he wouldn't have gone along with the appointment. Now, I would have liked a 60th Dem. Senator, but I would have liked less having to outright lie to Judd Gregg to get one. This isn't a sign of weakness.

  • Go ahead use the word RETARDED, it was the first one that came to my mind while you were talking.

  • If you knew ANYTHING about the government in the last 2 years you'd realize America has never been closer to being a totalitarian society as it has in the Bush years. America is not going to be COMMUNIST and anyone who actually thinks so is stupid. They are working on reversing the fasicm that clearly went over your head

  • Well.. we've had a republican govt the last 8 years .. and that was the.. right direction? I think you've already lost this debate my friend. And thank goodness 60% of the American ppl have some foresight.

  • Cenk Dude you are so right. The Dems are a bunch of pussies. In order to advance social democracy these guys better start hammering the GOP. I do agree with constructive debate but put some points on the board first then let the repubs have some cheap shots at weak policy decisions. Where is the GRAVITAS from the Dems. They need a loud Pittsburgh Union leader tellin the republicans how it is going to be not the MARIN COunty Socialite or "former boxer" / muppet show beaker look alike. WEENIES.

  • the dems are trying to help the common american worker. that's what they are all about. the repubs are only about the top 1% - you've been duped my friend, go back to school. WE ARE THE PEOPLE WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT. take your red-baiting mccarthyite shit back to Palin-ville fool. you fucking lost

  • Why are you cherry picking items from the stimulus bill? That's childish. Grow up boy. That stuff is like 1% of the money in that bill. We're just getting back what ya'll took away from us for the past eight years with that. The real stimulus is from infrastructure development, energy inovation, funding in science, rebuilding defense structures (yes, dept of defense), green energy, etc. you fail econ 101 if you think that won't promote jobs and start putting money back into the system.

  • that NH governor is a pussy. harry reid is a pussy too. fuck the dems - they aren't any better than the corrupt and anti-american republicants

  • There is, however, a difference between the two. Dems have absolutely no spine, and everyone knows it. Obama's entire agenda will never get through these upcoming four years because of the undisciplined and weak nature of the Democratic party. No change.

  • too bad the policy agenda of the democratic party is by far and way superior to the religious belief of tax cuts and bullshit from the republican party. it's too bad the dems just don't sack up and fucking do their job - fuck teh republicans. i'm looking for a dem that kicks some ass and i'm not seeing it anywhere. i'm mad as hell about them placating the corrupt and fucked up right wing shitheads

  • SenatorDavid you really need to take your shootgun you talk about on the last comment and put it to your racist hate filled head and pull the trigger you won't be missed trust me we could care less your a cancer in amerikkka that has to be removed....

  • Comment removed

  • Do us all a favor and point that shotgun between your legs. Then proceed to stay away from children so you cannot influence them with your ignorance and hate.

    Thanks. = )

  • Lol whatever makes you feel better you insane wignnut!

  • When Republicans reach across the isle, they're called "mavericks." When Democrats reach across the isle, they're called "third party candidates." I personally applaud any Democrat who's actually willing to meet Republicans on neutral ground rather than insisting that everyone votes to the left, because the Democrats have a much worse track record when it comes to being partisan than Republicans.

  • Fuck bipartisanism. The Pubbies would NEVER be bipartisan.

  • This is making me very angry. They better pass that stimulus bill soon or the fucking revolution is coming.

  • Nope the republicans will filibuster it because it doesn't meet all their demands, and the democrats won't allow any more compromises for the republicans. It won't get passed, the blamings will fly, no progress. The world will watch how we (USA) handle this crisis, we will look like a bunch of immature children and be hated even more. Mark my words!

  • Democrats are being too nice.

    The Republicans did not seek ONE iota of bipartisanship.

  • "You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," missing word is "just" which I take to mean you may listen to Rush, but other people too.

  • blah blah blah democrats get in office the economy grows and gets rich. republicans get in they spend it and were in a depression. whos better... good economy that fights for the average man or bad economy that helps the rich only

  • Democrats and Republicans are just two sides of the same piece of shit coin. It's like organized crime, there's squabbles and sometimes someone gets shot... but as soon as someone threatens their whole game, they all come together.

  • This was a bad choice for commerce secretary. Kiss more American jobs goodbye!

  • Judd Gregg wouldn't have accepted the nomination unless he was assured he had a Republican replacement. Wouldn't have worked.

  • If Dems don't stop acting like pussies to the Republicans, things are going to go right back the way they were. The Dems just don't see, the Republicans are clearly trying to save their asses for the coming elections in '10 and also '12. Dems get it together and before your asses loose control of the power you have now!

  • wow that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard

  • Mr. David Vitter, I didn't know that hypocritical Republican Senators were allowed to post on youtube?

    Isn't that violating your probation?!

  • Errrr...molesting children?

    How about you stop molesting facts.

  • The Governor had to do it or the current senator from NH wouldn't have joined the Obama administration.

  • Obama is the biggest bust since new coke, he seems to focused only looking bypartisan at the expense of delivieing results. He named Hillary Clinton eventhough she used the race card against him during the campaign, he named gregg to commerce even though the man stands for everything Obama ran against he campaigned for in terms of trade and even though the guy had voted to shut that departament. Obama promised change we could believe in yet only named insider hacks who represent the status quo

  • lol, you really think Obama is clueless about teh way Republicans are? Really?... like all the stuff they did with him and his daugthers and his wife?

    You think he's naive? lol, his play a much higher game than what's been played in the past. This guy not only needs to be back in for 2012 but needs his polices continued even past 2016.

    Watch, just watch. This guy is just different from what they see up there. They won't see it coming Dems & Republicans both. Just watch.

  • wow, dude, like... you for real? wow.

  • I believe the Democrats don't want a 60 Dem senate,they they would have no excuse in passing prograns popular with the people.

  • I agree, lol

  • Abu Ghraib is not "torture" or an "atrocity". This is the kind of thing frat boys, sorority girls, and academy cadets do every year.

  • here comes the new boss, same as the old boss :(

  • Why do you give such a fake definition of "Young Turks" on your profile?

  • What, a direct quote from a dictionary?

  • NH is a touchy state... very moderate. That governor may have just won his/her next election in that state because of that decision. However, Cenk has a very valid point when it comes to the national perspective... it's just that state & national politics are sometimes oil and water.

  • WOW WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

    that absolutely ridiculous.

    that governor is a FUCKING IDIOT.

  • 100% correct Cenk. 100 fucking per cent.

  • please do not forgot who was the cause of the housing market collapse and the subprime mortgage , there is a video on youtube showing the democrats forcing the subprime mortgage loans law down the banks' throats . and they were opposed to regulations on merril lynch and goldman's sachs ... so it was not all the republicans fault, but yes they did contribute to it

  • first i start off by saying i am neither democrat or republican, or any other party for that matter. having said that, i want to make a comment on what was said at the beginning of this video. having a congress majority of one party is very dangerous for the same reason that has been stated(so you can push your own agenda).. because it allows the democrats to do what they want with no resistance offers from any other side. and to make things worse the executive branch is also democrat

  • Don't presume to know me. Rush is not rational. His just a guy making money from sponsors to host a show. He not interested in rational behavior. When I was in college I was a Republican and now I favor neither party. They both are pro-corporation. Whoever holds the money holds the power. It benefits no one in the working class. How do you think they are able to run for re-election? Money. Companies have money to burn. Most people's truth is subjective.

  • Your quote is not right

  • If Democrats act like how republicans acted in the past 8 years, there will be no change in how Washington works.

  • the donkey has been neutered for years now.

  • picking a republican was a great move now any failures can still be blamed on the reps

  • ...

  • You are something else. A man who says that he will make others miserable because he is miserable is rational? A patriot looks out for the interest of a nation as a whole. Just like those against the breaking the Union~they were Patriots. So tell me, how are you so sure anyone is telling you the truth?You got to listen to both sides to see what the truth is.Just listening to one side of the debate then you are bias.We are a country of different points of view.Your truth is subjective.

  • Yeah and lincoln was a Wigg party member, the start of the republican party so lol that logic makes little sense.....

  • Well you cant really call them stupid, the true definition of stupid is the people believing the real change can come from the government, it never has and never will. Jesus Christ could be president and still not accomplish anything.

    True change wont happen until the people have power to change things.

    Ni4d*dot*us

  • A Republican of that era, would be a Democrat now.

  • Maybe he knows something that we don't know. However, I feel bringing the Republicans over is showing the U.S. the other 48% that voted for McCain that he is not serving only one side, he is trying to serve the the entire US. I think he is setting up for 2012 when he could reshape the entire map. Let me stress the fact 48% for McCain so the democrats better not take light of the position that they are in. I wish my democrats would have a backgraound & stand firm in what they believe in!

  • The Republicans will do everything they can do obstruct Obama. They want him to be a one-termer and then snach back the White House. I have a feeling that in 2010, the Republicans will be washed out of the Senate even more as well as from the House. The Dems are really organized for campaigning in the new Internet era. Obama plans to be a populist. That will help in 2010 for sure! I just hope it won't be too late.

  • Yes but that was before...when times change, political parties shift to different agenda. Just like the Republican party is shifting to an extreme right wing, Rush Limbaugh, fight everyone who doesn't think like you...no prisoner mentality ~ types. That is why they are losing elections. They are the minority.

  • im sorry mate but that was lets seee.....100 years ago?

    btw obama = first black prez

  • First black & white prez. Let's not disrespect his white mother.

  • That is not being disrespectful to his mother.

  • Why not? Omitting her isn't disrespectful? I know Obama rode that horse because it was a catchy thing to be. It wouldn't be as righteous, I guess, to push the fact you're not the first black, but first bi-racial.

  • If that's the case, then blacks as a whole has to rewrite their entire history. Booker T. Washington, W.E.B Dubois, Malcolm X, etc wouldn't be considered black according to you.

  • Oh, man, c'mon now. Don't go that route. Malcom X was 1/4th White. No one is fucking pure anything in this country, so that isn't the point. But if you are directly descended from one half white, and one half black (by appearance at least, because no one is pure) there should be no shame to be titled as such. Why does it automatically place you in the black category is all I'm asking. Why is it not as important to be half black / half white?

  • You should ask people like Barack Obama that question. Better yet, maybe you should ask non-black people that. It's been this way for years so why are you the only one trying to change it?

  • Wow, I'm not trying to change a damn thing - I made an opinion.. And I actually am a person like Obama, as terms of being black and white, and don't look at myself as either black or white, but what I actually am - a mixture. And just because shit's been a certain way for years doesn't make things solid and correct. Try to think outside of the box from time to time.

  • Well that is your preference, but don't come on here telling us to call Obama black and white because it is disrespectful to his mother, which I believe is the silliest thing I have ever heard. Maybe you need to take your argument to Obama who identifies himself as being an African American.

  • lol, again, you try to insinuate one's motives in a ridiculous way. I'm trying to change things, and I'm telling "us" (lol?) to call Obama black and white. You're a stubborn and foolish person to make such stand points solely for the sake of arguing. As I said before - it was just an opinion. Take it or leave it, and get the fuck over it.

  • Oh I've been over it.

  • Don't let the blacks take the white out of the equation.When blacks say "first black prez " say Bi-racial prez.,black people are very racist to Bi-racial people ,but now they accept Obama because they have their hands out.

  • That was part of the deal for him to accept the appointment. If they didn't appoint a Republican then he would have refused the appointment.

  • Maybe the guy who appointed the republican is just a hypocrite, pretending to be a democrat?

  • Don't you see the big picture? Next year she is up for elections. Those there in her state don't know her better than the Democrat running there...chances the Democrat will win. New England is turning bluer in each election. That's the bigger strategy. Voters are less likely to vote for a Senator they didn't elect as an incumbent. The Gov. had to give in for this overall strategy to work.

  • The R's are digging themselves into a whole. Most educated Republicans are embarrassed by Limbaugh. I mean if Obama fails, we all are screwed whether you are a Republican or a Democrat or Independent. More jobs will be lost and our economy will collapse. This is the risk the Republicans are facing. Hoover was not into government spending and look what the result was. The Great Depression!

  • Patience. There are R's that are retiring and this lady Senator has to be re-elected next year. That seat will be weak. New England is mostly D's. I think Obama is going to show that D's are doing the best and it's the R's fault for not cooperating. Look at the House vote. R's are playing politics with our future. This Stimulus bill is very popular because it doesn't help corporations but Main street..

  • another great vid

  • Cooperation, while in the best interest of our nation, has never been in the best interest of the Republican party, especially now that they are the minority.

    Now all it takes is just ONE numb skull "conservative" to completely shut down congress. And you can bet your sweet ass their going to do it too.

    Its just like Rush Limbaugh said, the Republicans would rather see the Obama administration fail at the expense of the nation rather the see him succeed at the expense of the Republican party.

  • RUN A CAR ON WATER

    Can you run a car using water as the fuel source?

    Yes, you can!

    Stan Meyer did this in the late 1990s. He ran his water-powered car across country. The Orion Project now owns his invention for proof & research.

    Paul Zigouras did this with speed boats, and so did Bob Boyce. Google: Paul Zigouras Panacea AND Bob Boyce D9 PDF.

    Technologies like the Stan Meyer Water Fuel Cell hold the answers to new jobs, clean energy & water and free energy for all!

  • Obama STOP being nice to republicans to hell with them !

  • Jesus christ you are a fucktard.

    I thought it was embarrassing enough that the supreme court uses tv shows to base their decisions on when it comes to things like torture. But I can see what fucktarded conservative sentiment they are influenced by.

  • Obama is taking the high ground....with republicans moving over to his side, he is covered if anything goes badly.

  • kumbaya my lord!....kumbaya!!!!!!

  • Cenk. It was already promised to the Senator that a Republican would be chosen in his place.

    Obama is killing them with kindness, and winning more and more centrist over with his ideas.

    Relax bro.
