CNN: Bernie Talks about No Vote on Debt Deal

[UberAlarmist]

democratic-republican student ???? are you serious ???? sounds a bit schizophrenic and ... ignorant .... what kind of idiot could think a conservative will do better than Obama ? oh, right ... the one's with room temperature IQs .....

[mikey3k]

@YouKnowWhoElse He said caucus' with.

[irishgodfatherchris]

@YouKnowWhoElse I'm Australian so I'm actually partially disgusted with myself that I have no life so that I actually knew this rubbish

[atosafi1]

People are afraid of demanding something better in fear of getting something worse.

[irishgodfatherchris]

@YouKnowWhoElse its cut but I believe what he says is caucuses with the Democrats which he does do in exchange for continued support for his seat so they don't run a candidate against him.

[18CaStRaDoMiS89]

And Blitzer is totally out of tune with the subject. It's in one ear and out the other.

He doesn't agree or disagree with Sanders in an effort to stay neutral, regardless if it's right or wrong.

THAT'S why I hate CNN.

[Delacresse]

I can't keep hearing this secondary mindset Wolf tried to lead Sanders on. Senator, Obama WILL NOT WIN. You must defend the collective and challange the president. If you do not run I will lend my vote to Ron Paul. I'm a 21 year old black poor atheist socialist progressive democratic-republican student, I nominate you to bring back happines. Bernie Sanders President 2012

[patty0130]

As anyone with half a brain can see Sen. Bernie Sanders is a national treasure. His voice has always rung loud and clear in favor of the people of this country!

[Tstormchaser]

I know Bernie has stated on several occasions that he has no interest in running for president, but PLEASE, for the sake of every average American (yes, we the unemployed, the underemployed, those with no health care, the elderly, the poor and the hungry children, and the majority who are just plain sick and tired of the millionaires, billionaires and corporations getting richer by the minute), we NEED YOU BERNIE!!

[ThePatrioticMom]

wolf blitzer is such a friggin moron.

[dshore9535]

The key word for anyone, by definition is 'politician'. This is how my computer dictionary defines the word: a person who acts in a manipulative and devious way, typically to gain advancement within an organization.

[ref1trillion]

Is Bernie Sanders the only person in D.C. making any sense? There is a significant number of lawyers in the House and Senate. I would guess that many of them went to the best schools in our country. They k now what they are doing and they are trying their best to rip off the middle class. It's time to fight back.

[TheLintee]

Bernie Sanders is the only polititian who cares about the ordinary people. Bernie Sanders for President.

[sallyhampton]

Bernie Sanders is a true American HERO. One of the ONLY in D.C. who is looking out for the average citizen and one of the few really smart elected officials. It's a shame we don't have more like him in Congress. But that would require a smarter, better informed electorate and most Americans are too busy working two jobs to buy more junk they don't need at Wal-Mart to pay attention to more than a sound byte on Fox news. THAT is the problem.

[halseyrobin]

Bernie for President! I agree that this legislation is an attack again, on the poor and I am so disappointed in President Obama that I can't even describe it! Shame on you and this time, you have really lost my vote and my support.

[nbalsz]

BERNIE FOR PRESIDENT!!! or Alan Grayson. Both of these fine gentleman possess what we want in gov't. God bless you both for looking out for US!

[wolflady52]

@biggerturtle Careful there, young whippersnapper...you're not immortal. And heed this quote:

When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent;

I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists,

I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for the Jews,

I remained silent; I wasn't a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.

[wolflady52]

I meant to say I agree with ralphinator2. Your response to aykayddon was right on.

[wolflady52]

Excuse me....Medicare and Social Security is not welfare. If that's the case, I want all the money they've been taking out of my paychecks for the last 42 years.  @ aykaydon...I totally agree with you. Give us something to work with, Corporate America, if you want us to fend for ourselves.

[ridewave444]

Important issues here and you see the Ryan O'Neals son, Lindsey Lohan, Leonardo DiCaprio scroll at the bottom of the screen. All you need to know.

[mozillanerd]

President Obama is a very weak person - therefore you see him caving in, you see him going after Afganistan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, do extra-judicial killings, use the way of the coward (drones) to kill targets and civilians as collateral waste.

[kilowat1946]

CNN why have you ask to disable the Embedding of the video? thanks to MSNBC we can get the same and better interview.

[cavebear33]

Wolf Bltzer is the cartoon MSM has largely become. He's an embarrassment to journalism. Bernie is what we want in our government, an honest man fighting probably a losing battle against all the special interests that control Congress today. President Obama needs a serious injection of Harry Truman's DNA. For those who remember, he won an election fighting against "The do-nothing Congress". Well, it's back. Unfortunately, Harry isn't.

[TheToostie2]

biggerturturtle get off this forum , you sound to much like a birdbrain, talking about bernie like that no wonder u-tube covered up your stupid comment

[TheToostie2]

whats the difference if obama wins next election, he is a republican in democratic clothing, there needs to be a true democratic candidate out there to be the next prez

[TheJaydiaz]

love at the end of the clip how Senator Sanders says that the media should be focusing on what is in the legislation, then Wolf goes right back to talking about the "political price" for the next segment. At least they gave him 6 minutes...

[bjbold]

Is Wolf Blitzer really that stupid?

[60rick]

I am grateful we have Senator Sanders to offer of voice of truth and conscience to the news, which has become more of an entertainment industry than the movie theater.

[Rnactivist55]

Move to Ammend...join today to overturn citizens united and take back our democracy. google a group near you! Do something....

[aykayddon]

I feel that the US as a country needs a rethink. Americans fend for themselves and stop depending on the government for support with the SS, Medicare & Medicaid. I feel the US should deeply reform the Medicare & Medicaid program BUT not scrap them. Also America should stop playing the policeman of the world. The military industrial complex is the biggest threat to America's claim as the world's superpower. Why is America in Iraq & Afghanistan conducting regular drone attacks in Yemen.

[ralphinator2]

@aykayddon Oh ya, fend for yourselves, but at the same time, we are going to finish getting rid of unions, make you compete with Chinese for wages, get rid of pension plans, and make you pay for your own private health insurance instead of offering employer benefits.

[captspock1]

Only 328 views, 328 interested people,if this was about sex it would be in the hundreds of thousands.

[HillbillyReport]

Bernie, did CNN request you to disable embedding?

[Craigipedia]

Sanders/Brown 2012!

[ufo5147]

Sanders 2012!

[siquierocerveza666]

Did anybody notice how, at the end, right after Bernie asked the media to start talking about how REAL PEOPLE are affected and not the parties, Wolf Blitzer says, now let's talk more about the bill's political price!

Why does CNN ignore that this legislation has a REAL PRICE for the sub-affluent American?? The media has completely played into the Tea Party, Republican, and the Koch Brothers' hands.

[biggerturtle]

@siquierocerveza666 Good!! let all the old fucks like Sanders die Bye byre Bernie HAHahaha

[reuntes]

Well stated, Mr Sanders.

[biggerturtle]

@reuntes SANDERS IS A TYPICAL SOCIALIST CUNT TAKE FROM ME AND GIVE TO YOU WELL THE WORM HAS TURNED SO FUCK YOU NO MORE FREELOADING SCUM HAHAHA

[raj1037]

@biggerturtle Roads, schools, FD/PD, postage… these things would be unbelievably expensive for small towns without the "socialism" you whine about.

This is in part why Blue states/cities pay more in taxes than they collect, while Red ones collect far more than they put in. Frankly, if conservative areas of the country really want to see what life is like without us, I'd be more than happy to let them. Their prices will skyrocket, ours will drop. That's the hilarious irony of this debate.

[newave123456]

@raj1037 That just shows you how ignorant people are. I used to have a co-worker who said how he wanted people to fend for themselves. Then I told him that his state (Oklahoma) gets lots of money from the gov. because they dont put that much in the coffer. He was shocked. He looked it up and when he saw it was true, he apologized and rethought his position. Most right wingers are not bad people, they are just ignorant to the facts.

[MultiVideohelp]

Since Obama has gone back on his promises, he should be tried for perjury, which involves a jail sentence!

[williamlp75]

This was just another manufactured crisis like last time with the bush tax cuts when Obama gave us a false choice between keeping them in place and extending employment benefits or letting the tax cuts expire and not extending employment benefits. Obama has fooled alot of people I myself voted for him, but he will NOT fool me again. Id rather vote for Mitt Romney atleast he admits he is a republican.

[williamlp75]

Why isn't embedding enabled? I would like to share this on my facebook page but I dont want my friends to have to jump through hoops to see it.

[ITOLDUDA]

I couldn't imagine Hillary doing a worse job than Obama is doing. He must not have a backbone at all...

[boonkanina]

Progressives have nowhere to go? Here is where I, a staunch liberal, am going:  Voting as conservative as possible. Put the right wing in power and let them hang themselves. Maybe America will wake up. This has a better chance of getting America back on track than continuing to support roll-over-and-pee-on-himself Obama.

[drdavidism]

He is just George Bush with a tan....a major disappointment.

[ElRoi65]

BERNIE SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT 2012! Otherwise, Blobama will be re-elected. Why wouldn't the GOP want him back. He has been their whipping boy for the last three years and has given them every last thing they have wanted. He is the perfect "Manchurian Candidate" for the Corporatocracy and the oligarchs thereof.

[clintsubmit]

Bernie for President!

[ldoyle1043]

President Obama is not a push over! He waits to get all the information in before acting.

[celainea]

Thank you Bernie.

[justjulie37]

Does anyone really believe that this so called "Super committee" will ever give in to any taxes on the rich??? They will only choose people for this committee who bow down to the tea party. This will never be what the president calls a "Shared" sacrifice. We are all screwed...thanks to those who voted for these heartless brainless group of morons in the congress. I liked Obama, but now I wish someone like Bernie would challenge him. We need someone with the balls to stand up for us

[judyleasugar97]

It is important that Democrats get to the voter booth in 2012. This is only the beginning of Republican / Tea Party dirty tricks. It has to stop.

[choobie12]

It's sad, this is all eugenics.

[ncrdisabled]

He should mention the bill that got sneaked thru with this 6 person committee crap. I can see it now once they get going its going to bet cuts for all vets medicare will have more deductibles and many more cuts to the folks that are barley making it now

[GreatBigBore]

Hell, if he can order illegal wars, why would he care whether he has a case for using the 14th? He should have just illegally ordered it.

[kdills]

A major antiwar and anti-establishment protest will start in Washington DC on October 6th 2011 in Freedom Plaza and will end-???

Type-OCTOBER2011 or STOP THE MACHINE. SEE YOU THERE.

I HOPE THE PROGRESSIVES WILL BE PUTTING UP ANOTHER CANDIDATE TO CHALLENGE OBAMA IN 2012 AS OUR FAMILY WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR HIM AGAIN. BERNIE IS RIGHT-WE HAVE BEEN "SOLD OUT". OBAMA HAS BROKEN TOO MANY PROMISES THAT HE RAN ON. VOTE GREEN PARTY OR LIBERATARIAN IF NOTHING ELSE.

[Asher8328]

Every time I see vacuous Wolf Blitzer conduct an interview I keep remembering how I heard this guy was on Jeopardy and got every single question wrong. He's not a journalist, intellectual, or an analyst. He's an actor pretending to be all of those other things.

[gatorhighlights4]

People like Bernie Sanders are one of just a handful of politicians who are worthy of being in congress. The rest should be run out with swift kicks to the ass on their way out. This debt "deal" was a joke passed under false pretenses. Here's a deal: cease all wars, end tax cuts and raise taxes on the wealthiest and corporations, spend money on infrastructure and jobs, nationalize oil and tell lobbyists to shut their fu*king mouths. Enough of this non-sense.

[peacewavenow]

No need to worry about this legislation, didn't the great negotiator Obama made sure that the public option was included in the health care bill before he signed it?.........yep, we're screwed.

[reasonjr1960]

I would vote for a turd before I would vote for Obama. As I've stated before, "HE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT!"

[Meade556]

@reasonjr1960 He does not even call himself one. Sheesh and we thought Clinton was bad. Who does Obama say one of his favorite Presidents was: "Reagan!" Whose portrait did he hang prominently? Reagan! Who did Bill choose? FDR and Truman. Clinton for all his faults was a Democrat and the tax cuts he did concede to were designed to help working families and middle class people.

[basscann0n]

@reasonjr1960 no, he is a democrat..  that's the problem

[armandogro91]

I wish Sen. Sanders ran for president.

[doctordude]

At least we have Bernie.

[Engelen51]

My sons and I have watched Mr. Sanders yet again give voice to the "invisible." As we grow poorer at least my sons have Mr. Sanders fighting for those who are not so priviliged. as to be represented by by Mr. Sanders. Our elected officials that I petition are rich, white, and in bed with the devil. Mr. Sanders by his continued speaking up put them to shame.

[AngieLile]

Here here Bernie! I think you are so right on when it comes to what is really the issue here. Not who is going to gain what kind of status in Washington.. but how many people are going to really be affected by the games they play. I support your decision all the way.

[BeholdZeus]

Ol Pussycat Blitzer.

[tunit20]

Tell them Bernie, down with the fat pig bourgeoisie

[TheVladimere9]

Bernie getting coverage makes me smile

[EPRVa62]

Obama a Constitutional lawyer professor? God help his students. I hope a primary challenge is in the works. Sen Sanders-thank you for pointing out the failure of the media to do it's job.

[biggerturtle]

@EPRVa62 I just fucked faggot Bernie in the ass What a scumbag . He begged for more and pretended I was Obama
