  • AMERICA start to look and to be so "IDIOTIC" and "STUPID" They act so weirds with all the "CULTS FROM HELL" with their "VOICE TO SKULL" and "DIRECT ENERGY WEAPON" They captures "VERY INNOCENTS" people that don't have nothing to do with all that and they are so naive and in the darks that they don't even know how they got involved with that!- Russians Jews Mafia is t' worse that happen to (With t' manipulations and elbows pushers-They r' KILLERS) AMERICA!

  • Obama is a failure. Lefties are just figuring this out. He was a slogan and you guys voted for him. The rest of the voters believed the slogan and didin't know what it was.

  • They forgot to add: "and gets bitchslapped......again."

  • Obama needs to quite appeasing the right wing lunatic fringe

    pull that big ol' black musky out of his trousers and smack them across the face with it

  • U know that liberal media is in serious problems when their two main channel on the internet has "russia" and "turks" in their names.

  • Obama stpp sucking the republicans asses. Your are making me sick

    and embarrassing our country.

  • i think a revolution is the only way we the american people can prevent the country from going to the coperations and ending in a true facsist state with no reminance of democracy left, with corperations running things for profit for profit's sake and not for progress.

    *Sigh* Republicans are bought right wing nuts, democrats are either bought or so painfully spineless they don't do a thing. Independents have no power or coverage.

    American Politics is broken.

  • so after calling them enemies now this....what a dupe

  • This is what I'm starting to think of as classic Obama. He takes an issue that people are upset about and want action on, conflates it with another issue that nobody cares about but is politically easy to work with, and then pledges to fix the issue that no one cares about.

    I think he thinks he's being clever, but he's not fooling anyone.

  • These so-called liberals saying they're voting republican now after 2 years?? You were a republican all the time, stop lying. . Obama is trying to please both sides and no matter what he does each side is gonna give him hell, going to complain "he's doing too much" or "he's not doing enough". The American people are never please and when they should have been outraged they weren't until they were living in Tent city and eating beans and rice everyday -.-

  • God I hope the Republicans don't work with NObama. I voted Republican because I want them to STOP everything NObama does.

  • What's ironic is socialism, in a true progressive positive form, could save this country, yet most talk about it as some evil communist form of imprisonment when in reality it's capitalism that has imprisoned the majority of us. What is so wrong with a single-payer health care system, free to low-cost college and raising income taxes on the wealthiest Americans who can afford it while we work on a perfect system for us all?

  • I laughed so hard at 3:57 LOL

  • Comment removed

  • I am done with Democrats. This is why they lost. Their voters stayed home. The ones who switched and voted repulican... those are the impatient dumbasses who want change tomorrow. They are severely infected with this gotta have it now, culture which is the bane of this country.

  • who was that hot looking woman on the left

  • So Americans elected republicans because Obama wouldn't ignore them completely? Progressives are a bunch of power hungry fascists after all. You can bankrupt farmers by restricting water usage but you won't let people smoke pot? Power hungry fascists.

  • President Obama is gong to be out of office on Friday 20th January 2013 !! He did´nt fight to the GOP ! Wasted too much time reaching out to the GOP ! Instead of reaching out to people to support him for REAL change !!! The USA is going down !!

  • I AM so fucking pissed that Democrats did'nt fight. They did not fight. Obama did not fucking fight. no fight, no fucking fight, no mutherfukin god damn fight. I'm Done.

  • I don't know if I can vote again, I voted for Obama because I thought he was a fighter, I voted against Burr because I wanted to defeat republicans . Liberals can let me know when there ready, I'll be prep'in the fuckin grenade's

  • Ben! U look like an extra from Casablanca

  • Obama was doomed from day one!! if he fights republicans, republicans will hate him even more! if he doesnt fight democrats will hate him! what ever he does people will hate him! I feel bad for him I hope he gets through this

  • Obama lied he is going to take vacations instead and stay outside the country mostly.

  • Democrats = mainstream

    Republicans = hipsters

    The hipster GOP always flip flops their views to go against what the Democrats want. They always want to be the opposite!

  • Imagine if Ron Paul was president- he would've made filibustering illegal! I'm not a big supporter of him, but wow imagine how that would turn the tables on how things get carried out in Congress...

  • Obama "The Interim President"

  • He standing there lying, the damn idiot, Americans have had enough of Obama, they want the lying corrupt bastard outa there white house.

  • @TheImpeacher I like how you speak for all of America, because obviously someone such as you would not be given to gross generalizations.

  • The house and Senate were controlled by the Dems and they had a clear majority, they didn't need 1 republican vote to push their stuff through. I get so tired of people disregarding that fact. You didn't need bipartisanship!

    Dems vote in pussies, Pubs vote in dicks, getting fucked is the nature of the beast!

  • I miss Bill.

  • BS, if Obowma is as smart as the progressives say he is, he should have known what he's doing has consequences

    he says he didn't communicate well enough! BS, he's the "great communicator" isn't he??

  • We dont want to change "how" things get done...Our founders implemented a system that we dont want to see changed.. The constitution forbids changing the infrastructure of the system...If you want to change things, go do it in a more flexible country without a constitution.

  • @pennjersey83 OH really? Please quote the exact words of the constitution which states that we can't change "how things get done." Have you ever heard of an amendment before? No? I didn't think so. Because 99% of you guys are at least half illiterate and wholly full of shit.

  • @DirtFlyer

    you can add amendments but they have to be within the bounds of the constitution.

  • @pennjersey83 Amendments can also repeal other amendments! The founding fathers wrote the constitution with this in mine...it's designed to be totally malleable.

  • love watching u people so dum its like communism television

  • I thought Obama would fight like Ali but, we got Pee Wee Herman! I want Obama to kick ass not kiss ass!

  • haha cenk and ben are just like cartman and kyle from south park

  • @CarnardP the Democrats are a great party? i'm not sure if you got the memo, but Clinton hasn't been president for about 10 years now, and the Democratic party hasn't had a backbone since he left.

  • WE ARE TAKING AMERICA BACK FROM ALL YOU LIBERALS WHO ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET MORE GOVERNMENT INTO OUR LIVES!!

    ALL YOUR COMMUNIST POLICIES AND ATTEMPTS TO DESTROY AMERICA HAVE FAILED.

    NOW ALL YOU OBAMA PEOPLE SHOULD MOVE TO A MUSLIM COUNTRY AND LEAVE AMERICA TO THE REAL AMERICANS!

    WE WILL RESTORE OUR COUNTRY TO THE WAY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WANTED IT TO BE!!

  • @alfredoooddd Yeah!!! I agree! Good American people have been told what to do too much by the liberal, communist, Nazis in charge!!

    Our freedoms are being taken away. It was only one hundred years ago when a good REAL American could own a SLAVE!

    What happened to that?

    We need to fight this "progress".. If the good Christian, American people want to burn some witches at a stake, then they should be able to!!

    'MERICA. FUCK YEAH.

  • @ninjazachy06 Oh yea black people are only worth 1/4 of a vote I forgot about that too! We should obviously go back to that system, because America was perfect then.

  • @alfredoooddd wow... I still don't get how you can say no government in your life then attack Muslims. Shouldn't no government intervention mean men can marry men? You should be able to study whatever stem cells you want? Worship whatever god, gods whatever you want?

    Can't have it both ways.

  • @harvellt GOVERNMENT IS BAD. READ THE CONSTITUTION AND KEEP YOUR BIBLE AROUND. THAT'S WHAT AMERICA IS ABOUT.

    INSTEAD YOU LIBERALS LIKE TO FOLLOW OBAMA WHO ENFORCES POLICIES SIMILAR TO THOSE USED IN NAZI GERMANY AND SOVIET RUSSIA.

    HE IS A NAZI AND A COMMIE AND YOU LIBS STILL FOLLOW HIM.

  • @alfredoooddd Obvious troll is obvious.

  • @alfredoooddd Sure I get it Government is bad but doesn't that mean you can't force me to read your bible? I like the Jeffersonian bible. He was a founding father and he took all the stuff about Jesus being magical out. Can't use the Government to stop men from having sex with each other anymore either. Also is your caps lock broken? Are you being sarcastic?

  • @alfredoooddd Obama also likes MUSTARD on his BURGER! You better hate MUSTARD!

  • If Obama was even half as smart as Cenk, Cenk would still be twice as smart as Obama.

    I did the math. It is true.

  • If it's Ben, I don't even bother watching. Give us the C-man.

  • @twk373 Then don't watch!

  • Barack Obama: Best Republican President EVER. FYI he doesn't need more heart, he just need to do what he said

  • anyone else getting a buzzing sound for all TYT vids?

  • Obama has to sound like he's "reaching out" to the Republicans, even as the Republicans say they won't reciprocate. It's the kind of thing you HAVE to say after an election.

    I think Obama is playing "rope a dope" with the GOP---he's setting the stage for when things get really partisan he can point out that he's trying to get things done but the other side has nothing to offer but obstructionism.

  • Obama reaches out to Banksters.....with his hand open awaiting another payoff for not going after them.

    1200 bankers went to jail for the S&L scandal.

    ZERO banksters have gone to jail for the financial collapse - thanks to Obama.

  • obama reaches while the gop impeaches. Screw both parties, its time for REAL change. We need to form a new party that will expel the lot of them and put in place real reforms. No more left and right, its time for real instead.

  • @ocerg1111 I have been trying to mention this to people for years, but no one listens. They keep voting for these two loser parties that only focus on tabloid crap during the campaigns, and don't do anything that helps the masses, only corporations.

  • But liberalism rejects ideological struggle and stands for unprincipled peace, thus giving rise to a decadent, Philistine attitude and bringing about political degeneration in certain units and individuals in the Party and the revolutionary organizations. - mao-tse-tung

  • whats up with the buzzing sound?

  • And, so ended the Obama presidency ,with a wimper....

  • you reach your hand out once and the dog bites it you blame the dog but on the 25th time we blame you, i mean that dog bites ffs you know that

  • hey look, its ben in his oversized white pimp jacket!

  • reaching out again????? with as much as he bowed down to the Repubs for the last two years.... the next step is either a hand job or blow job....

  • Ben I LOVE your suit it's VERY nice!

  • AGAIN this is Obama dismissing the left.... he said that we think that it SEEMS liek the same squabble it SEEMS like the same fightiing..... no Obama it doesn't seem that way it IS that way... Everything about him is to dismiss the concerns of his base and I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY!

  • There is loud static on the microphones on this clip. Come on Jesus.

  • @CognosSquare - something isn't plugged in all the way.

  • @VirusofLife182 hmm maybe its jayars job to check on that. And Cenk has taken him with him to MSNBC as he usually does.

  • As long as there is no significant independent 3rd party in this country Americans are screwed. Republicans and Democrats work for the same corporate interests. We elect them, they get in office, give us about 2% of what we ask for, and then tell us they are better than the other party. What do we do in return? Eat it up, go to the polls, and vote for whomever we are less frustrated by at the time. Wake up ya stupid fux.

  • Stand and fight President Obama.. We the American people will stand with you.. we have your back.. we just need you to be our leader...

  • what if obama is secretly getting paid billions of dollars to do what hes doing????

  • @3108711289

    Well I don't think billions is the correct figure, but he is being paid to be US President aka, the country's scapegoat, so in essence, you're right.

  • to me this is an admitance of his own mistakes, he is being responsible for his own mistakes, if only he were to change something about his strategy, but i doubt that

  • Are American voters too stupid to see who is causing the problems? Yep.

  • when i see "Obama Reaches Out To Republicans" in the title of a video, i numb my senses by doing excess amounts of opiates before watching the video.

  • Well i do know that if he doesn't own up to the voters who put him in he aint going to be there in 2012 MAN UP OBAMA!

  • Maybe if Obama stopped acting like the GOP's little bitch, then maybe we would have some damn change.

  • If the big O just moves to the right (he can't move anymore left) he will be fine and probably get re-elected. It's not that tough

  • OBAMA JOB= MAKE PEOPLE LOVE THE REPUBLICANS AGAIN.

    WE DON'T WANT DEMOCRATS TO START WW3. GOT TO KEEP DEMOCRACY AS THE BEST THING FOR NATIONS.

    MISSION ACCOMPLICED PREPARE FOR ASSRAPE!

  • If Obama can make everyone like him, then he'll win!

  • I want to yell loud and clear into Obama's ears: STOP KISSING THEIR ASS !

    they never liked him and will never like him. For them he's an infidel liberal and they badly want him to be a one term president and so far he's doing exactly what they wish for. Obama should be a hardcore liberal and tell the tan man: good for you, you won the house but I will veto appealing healthcare and cutting taxes for the wealthy so give it up, if you have a real job creator welcome otherwise go fuck yourself.

  • Obama's an idiot. Idealistic but with no idea how people and politics actually work.

  • Ben, Ben, Ben.

    "President" Obama has never reached out to the Republicans,

    other than to shake their hand with one hand, and pick their pockets

    with the other.

    His Obamacare "reform" bill was not a "reach out" to the GOP, but, (if you will recall), was a lock out, with the rest of his spending was jammed thru by his paid for liberals.

    I hope, and expect, the GOP to reach out to Obama in the same capacity as the libs reached out to them. Nothing more, & nothing less.

  • He is Democrat by name only, in spirit, he is a Republican.

  • Dems lights out party is ovvvvvvvver,,,,,,,, 2012 RUSH LIMBAUGH president ,MICHAEL SAVAGE vice president " THATS HOW I SEE IT"

  • So... I think he will run for president candidate... for the GOP in 2012

  • I think Ben's been watchin Miami Vice reruns again

  • ben's suit is very shiny.

  • republicans are always assholes, democrats are allways pussies.

    makes me glad to be Canadian

  • @Ninjaspyfan

    Dude as far as I can tell it really isn't that different up here, Harper is a bully that gets mad when he doesn't get his way, and Ignatief really is a pussy

  • @Saucypants1000 ya i know, but to me it seems like the US is a bit worse off at the moment, with the Tea Party and all. at the very least we don't have that here, to my knowledge anyway

  • @Ninjaspyfan

    well no argument from me on that one :)

  • Cenk is still in a dream world. I wish the Dems would just Stop sucking Obamas nuts. Both parties are down right criminal and America has spoken, whether informed or not. That in itself is progress. Now whether if we remain to be proactive and continue not to take shit from either sides still remains to be seen.

    The "demonization of Set" is just starting.

    Pass.

  • Savannah is so fuckable.

  • Is Barack Obama ball-less? Or is he just stupid? Which is it?

  • @TheCOOLbigGOV he's trying to be reasonable in a country dominated by morons & criminals.

  • *hands Barry some boxing gloves* We're in your corner sir, hit back!

  • The American people just rewarded a group of people who blocked virtually all legislation from passing for two years. They filibustered more than any other political party in the history of congress. Our system is broken, it's broken because the vast majority of voters are complete morons who have no idea how our system works.

  • @Xenite227 Only a Liberal or Progressive Socialist would call a system broken when they passed Stimulus, Cap and Trade, and Obamacare. Your mad because not a single Republican voted for any of those three bills and they're your responsibility solely. A vast majority of Americans were against all three but as Liberals and Progressive Socialists only you and your ilk know whats best for the rest of us. You were soundly rejected Tuesday, take your loss like a man.

  • @chaumont20 "take your loss like a man"

    You go first, your fellow Republicans bawwed and taunted Obama ever since he stepped into office.

  • @JustChrisLTD When a party loses 63 seats in the House and 6 in the Senate the American public is telling the Democrats to compromise or there will be another beatdown in 2012 but you and the Democrats will never figure that out.

  • @chaumont20 It is foolish to think that Obama could have taken the country out of a recession so quickly. Just shows how fucking ignorant people here in america are. I listen to them all the time and you just have to say wow.

  • Nice try. Look at the voter demographics. The majority of those who voted were white males over the age of sixty. Less than a fifth were young people, women, and minorities. COMBINED.

    This was (one of) the last gasp(s) of the top 1% trying to retain their power and keep everyone else below them.

  • @1RadicalOne Keep believing that and keep the Liberal and Progressive Socialism coming. The American people said STOP but you and your side just want to play your usual " the voters are stupid game". People can take just so much of Liberalism and they've had ENOUGH.

  • @chaumont20

    What did the American people say STOP to?

    Republicans were told to stop in 2008 with a bitch slap on the way out. Liberal and Progressive ideologies were not furthered by Obama. Conservatives just had a louder voice because they whined like a five year old who wasn't given a cookie. Obama actually wanted to reason with them( which was dumb), but they kept saying NO!!!

    What did the Republicans propose that was stopped by the Democrats? Nothing.

    :P

  • @Joxman2k Tort reform, Buying Insurance across state lines, Capital gains tax cuts,drilling in ANWAR, school vouchers, trials for prisoners AT gitmo, Arizona Imigration law, and a President who actually knows BEFOREHAND that there is no such thing as a shovel ready job. Just to name a few. Now, you were saying.....

  • @chaumont20

    You are talking with a small mind. The Republican energies were in fighting, NOT actually seeing reality and making things better for all.

    ...it's almost like Nelson from the Simpsons saying "quit hitting yourself, quite hitting yourself."

    :P

  • @Joxman2k I think your mind is actually smaller than most. Your question was " What did the Republicans propose that was stopped by the Democrats ? Nothing " I gave you 7 examples and you come back with babbleage. Respond to the examples.

  • Right. The classic "all facts that disagree with me are part of this big evil conspiracy propaganda campaign".

    How is that any different from a conspiracy theorist who claims all dissenters are "NWO shills"? Or creationists who claim "evolution is just a big atheist conspiracy"?

    Or are you those too?

  • @Xenite227 true. i always say education is key. our society functions on maintaining a world where we have to move and think as little as possible. Can you solve 2 + 2? "Droid can".

  • @Xenite227 or ignorant and lazy

  • Check it

    whatthefuckhasobamadonesofardo­tcom

  • bye bye Obama

  • hahaha tyt you lose GO GOP! oh and tell George Soros to suck my balls!

  • @aggies436 youll be sucking JP Morgans soon. along with the rest of wall street. youll be deep throating all of them now...unfortunately....so will all of us.

  • @aggies436 i think you are an idiot do you know what GOp agenda is? it is in favor of the riches not for you dummy.

  • @dooooooer oh and your party is in it for george soros to come and remake our nation into France! Rich people make jobs idiot, but you're to stupid to understand that.

  • @aggies436 rich people want as few jobs as possible..for the least amount of money possible. rich people....they love when the people that serve them buy into the lies they feed them. but youre too stupid to understand that.

  • @aggies436 really? because of the tax cut lol your a moron.

  • Obama is either a pussy that doesn't know how to get things done or George Carlin was right and he's just another puppet for the elites.

  • In my dreams he would just step down and make Allan Grayson The President.

  • LOL reaching out again. Its not like he has any other choice but to, but after two years of giving the right and the general population the bird. And steamrolling our republican style of government. They democrats get to taste the backlash after not listening to they own base as well as the right itself its time. Bend over obamabots and the left your getting the boot. We do not want another 4 trillion in debt more job losses and failed schemes from obama. We are going to repel healthcare, fail

  • At some point you have to realize that this Bipartisan, reaching across the aisle bull shit is not working and it never will. Republicans protect their interests point blank period. Democrats protect their interests as long as it doesn't offend Republicans.

  • 2:53 EWWWW HE LOOKS LIKE A FAT WHITE BITCH.

  • WTF are Republicans going to do? In 2 years, Obama tried to do bipartisan, and get whatever he did done. It was all weaksauce things, but fine whatever. Now that the Republicans have the House, they are all about undoing what Obama has done ... okay well that is 2 more years. What have they said they would do to help the economy? If they spend 2 years undoing what little progress was made, we would just be back to square one, and 4 years are wasted away.

    We are not getting any younger!

  • obama needs to reattach his balls bend the republicans over his desk and ram some proposals up their he needs to stop being a huge pussy

  • God dammit.! More of Obama compromise bs. What the hell is wrong with him?Do what we elected you to do?I don't give a fuck if you parties agree or not.Just get the job done. The problem seems to be Obama thinks he Ghandi or something. But Ghandi was an asshole also.

    Republicans:Fuck you,commie nazi.

    Obama:Lets go and discuss this.And reach a better understanding.

  • you really can't blame the Republicans on anything with a super majority.

  • Man, Ben is looking rather snazzy today. Lookin' good, Ben!

  • Next up, Obama will soak his hand in pigs blood and stick his hand in a shark tank. He's confident this attempt to reach out will result in a reciprocal show of bipartisanship and good will on the part of the shark.

  • Its like telling someone you're going to pet a crocodile. Everyone knows how its going to play out. The President is at least trying to serve all the country though unlike Herr Bush.

  • @Silvertrine I have to disagree. Obama isn't trying. At least Bush got done what he wanted to. Obama is so powerless its not even funny.

  • Well it looks like the republicans are great at manipulating a bunch of stupid ass americans and the democrats are great on their knees, or bending over whichever one is more comfortable.

  • Time for Democrats to get aggressive and run these fucking rich, racist, in compassionate republican FUCKS into the fucking ground. Stop pandering to the fucking rich people you fucking jackasses.

    STOMP EM IN THE FUCKING NUTS

  • Obama Reach out to Republians:

    STOP, STOP, STOP.

    NO ! NO! NO!

  • Obama, no one on the right supports you. WE are your base, stop trying to negotiate with these rifle-humping nematodes and BE OUR PRESIDENT.

  • In other news, Obama's on Mythbusters in December! Yaaay....

  • quit being a pussy Obama; Democrats need a leader w/ a backbone who knows how to use their muscle

  • @comerbp82:

    Most of the Democrats did not even bother to vote in 11/2. WHY?

    Americans have no one else to blame, Not the big government, Not Obama, but THEMSELVES for being ignorant.

  • 3:57 LOL!

  • When Obama talked about how WE didn't change how things got done is not quite correct. What Obama should of said "I" didn't change how things got done.

  • Yeah, he'll reach out alright.....reach out dat ass to get fucked some more by Republicans.

    Democrats are nothing but pussies. They still don't seem to have learned that pussies just get fucked.

  • I like that Obama aknowledges everyone but why compromise when you know you are in the right here?

  • Saw this yesterday and couldn't stop facepalming... The deals are done people stop dragging behind these 'parties'

  • I can't fathom why conservatives don't like Obama...he bends over and says give it to me, i want more...there should be no compromise, if i were president, every time I heard a conservative complaint, i'd say "send my secretary a message and I'll get back to you"...

  • @sjk5000 You are truly our intellectual superior, as demonstrated by your absolutely genius comment.

  • I voted for a pussy.

  • ben just increased cenk's volume using that new thing :O

    what is it??? ipad? some other touch screen device? or is it just a remote control with a volume toggle? :P

  • we knew it would be hard far Obama...he's doing his best..can't blame the guy...Bush just messed things up too much to begin with. Again, he may be making the same mistake, he is overwhelmed and struggling to maintain order and at the same time attempt to find solutions...ITS GOING TO BE HARD REGARDLESS...IN THE END..WE NEED A SMALLER GOVERNMENT. PERIOD..maybe not to the extent at which ron paul wanted but we need consensus of all decision ..not child's play and treating this like the sand box.

  • @kmusic You can take the high ground for so long but there comes a time after which you've tried and tried and tried to understand why a bully is punching you in the face, that you have to take a swing back and punch them in the face. Obama should be at that point and he's not. He's a pussy.

    Giving in to the Republicans is the WRONG solution here. He needs to force compromise or at the very least, block the bad ideas. Cutting taxes for the wealthy is a BAD IDEA - for example.

  • @DisturbedHavok I totally agree! thats a perfect example with the bully. how long will you take the bullies bs before you snap on the bully??? I myself still regret this from my school days. wheres marty mcfly and doc brown when you need them! I'd go back in time and whoop some ass instead of worry about taking the high road!! I just hope Obama doesn't have to look back and wish he did something about this when he had the chance.... I know I still do....

  • @DisturbedHavok

    Didn't OBAMA gave the finger to Paul Ryan? When the republicans came out with some ideas for health-care?

    Come on TYT stop giving us these crap. I don't get how you sometimes you criticize FOX and you do exactly the same shit BUT worse. TYT get personal to defend communism and the Muslim.

    The only people getting blocked are the Democrats.

  • @elpatriotaLX

    "these crap?"

    Learn to spell retard.

  • @elpatriotaLX some ideas for healthcare? are you joking? obama agreed to every stipulation the repubs posed, and they still voted against it. the public option was supposed to be the compromise from single payer healthcare, do we have a public option?

  • @dudeeful1

    Well, I think you are right in asking about; what a good idea would be...

    Some people don't prioritize. For example:

    -They don't have health insurance yet they have big TV's and nice cars nice clothing.

    I am fine with poor people who really can't really afford it, we already pay for them anyway.

    Here in my city (Downtown Chicago) where I PAY High taxes, the emergency rooms are always packed with homeless people and poor people (not from the area). Yet they are not denied.

  • @elpatriotaLX Please, there was the meeting between the President and the leadership of both parties in the House and the Senate live on TV. The idea for end of life care was an idea pushed by Republicans, and then used by Republicans to say "oh there's Death Panels in the bill".

    Just because they didn't use an idea put forth by 1 guy, doesn't mean they didn't use Republican ideas.

  • @kmusic Some of it, you could chalk up to him honestly miscalculating and overestimating the reasonableness of the opposition party - to an extent. Some of what he's done just goes so far in favor of corporate interests you have to question his sincerity. Private meeting with corporate lobbyist during the crafting of the health care legislation, for instance.

    And as DisturbedHavok points out, you can only take so many punches before you have to take a shot yourself.

  • @RetiredBard honestly, regardless of any other president we would have voted for, the result would have been more or less the same. His integrity, eh..speculations here and there, but who really knows. Though the amount of thing accomplished is far from what we as citizens expect and want, however, understand the state we were in when Bush left. IT was a total disaster. On a personal note, my dad a businessman even fell short during Bush's time of presidency and my was fairly successful.

  • @kmusic I think you are missing the point. Its not that anyone expected a 180 overnight, that is the misconception. The point is can you name one major thing Obama has done or is doing that doesn't end with a "but"? And by major mean relevant to the times, whether its financial reform, health care etc etc?

  • @MizAlexandria

    the fact that taxes HAVE GONE DOWN FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS?

  • @MizAlexandria He ended the ban on embryonic stem cell research.

  • @kmusic

    I sorta wish McCain won so Republicans could have done a worse job than Obama. The only reason I'm glad he did not was that in the good chance he died in office, Sarah Palin, one of the most ignorant and powerful Americans would be president.
