  • Obama has no clue on how to do anything in washington. He is a disaster and bringing down the country!

  • YOU LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHH!

  • Got to say about Ron Paul. Shit. good prediction by him about obama so called change that he offers no change. you think the democrat supporters could find a guy more trustworthy. guess that isn't presidential for the people these days.

  • Greenwald is right. Obama is not failing to do certain things; he is doing exactly what he intended to do. Some might say Bush's presidency was a failure, but it wasn't. They accomplished just what they wanted....and maybe even more...

  • I never thought Obama was a genius and I still don't---unless of course you are referring to his acting talent. The POTUS has ALWAYS represented a small, powerful wealthy class. As Parenti says, the consitiution was designed to keep the people in check, not the elite class and its representatives.

    So, I'm not disappointed in Obama, except maybe that he is even more deceptive and secretive than I thought he was.

  • I`m just baffled that so much truth was allowed to be aired on tv..

  • @onedthought MSNBC :)

  • @onedthought I am, too, but I think it's because MSNBC knows Dylan Ratigan's audience---so he/cenk/glenn are preaching to the choir more or less.

  • Yawn... imagine that, Dems that are disenfranchised. If you guys had the guts to stand up FOR your elected officials then they could go out and do what they gotta do. The way it is now they gotta look over their shoulder and try to curry votes with independents. If the avg liberal in America stood up for the Democrats half as much as the avg conservative stands up for the Republicans you'd never lose another election again. Piss and moan all you want - you're causing your own problems here

  • @Relbl Trouble is, most Americans are not liberal, and dont like liberalism. Liberals are fighting a losing battle.

  • Hey Americans! If you want to change things why don't you simply stop using the services of those 6 corporations or banks or whatever? Make them loose money; no money, no power

  • It's crap like this and mgallant01's comment that makes me wanna go truly Independent cuz I really don't give a shit what party does what. Why the FUCK is everyone arguing and bickering over some stupid ass policies instead of caring about us. "Hahaha? It was a wipeout? Yes we can???" So the fuck what???!!! What does that mean?? That the country is better off?? Cenk is 1000000% right in EVERYTHING he said. Forget politicians, forget ppl in power, forget all of it. Don't we control THEM???

  • HAHAHAHH!! HAHAH!! It was fu^&ing WIPEOUT! 63 Seats! 600 PLUS state legislature seats!! 6 Senate Seats!! HAHHAHAH! YES ! YES WE CAN!!

  • @mgallant01-so what does that mean?

  • One of the best political discussions I've ever seen.

  • Why isn't this show (The Dylan Ratigan show) a podcast?

  • I just LOVE when Cenk gets so upset. Awsome.

  • Thi mutha fuckas dont like Obama cuz he black. racist shits kiss my ass

  • @nastrobamas What the Hell has Obama done for black people?

  • @Uncle99B more then all the smart ass white boyz who said they would help us

  • @nastrobamas . I repeat. What has Obama done for black people since he has been president? Seems to me all he has done is lecture them on personal responsibility. He has acted as a puppet for the white power structure

  • @nastrobamas You need to think more than race. Obama doesn't have your best interest in mind. These guys are only against Obama because he didn't even bother fighting for what he campaigned on. How does that sound racist? Just so you know. I am black and can't stand Obama. Dude is just like Bush but worse. You need to read about what's really going on and not just watch it from corporate owned news on TV.

  • @nastrobamas just watch the documentary "Inside Job". Then you will see who's on which side.

  • @soccerdude601 Nah Obama is not doin it the white boy way. These niggas think we be stupid. Dissed by everybody. Now its our time its our time

  • i look atthese comments an still see the dellusionthat democratsare the party of the people. the party needs to fail just like the republican party needs to fail. so you can do what you were meant to do. so now you can get envolved.

  • Here's the reason why Democrats Lost: they did not stand up for real financial reform, they did not stand for real healthcare reform, they capitulated on the stimulus and Afghanistan; they gave in on every important stance that they campaigned on so Progressives were like Screw it and then the Tea Party and Corporations were able to spin the milquetoast reform as Socialism. They won the argument with the American people even if they are full of shit

  • The part of 3 dimensional chess where you give up your queen, knight, bishop & house of representatives is when you are a pawn for the other team.

    How long is it going to take the mass of Democrats to realize that?

  • we do translation and you can select Russain women gettop5.info

  • CENK is THE MAN!

  • Right on Dylan, Cenk and Glenn. You 3 hit it outta the park. I just hope the WH is watching. Of course they're not and will continue to crush the Dem party and America with their ignorant behaviour.

  • Gleen Greenwald is fantastic.  btw can you believe he's 46? He looks like he could be in his late 20s.

  • Gleen Greenwald is fantastic.

  • I have a great idea. Why don't people just stop flipping back and forth between republican and democrat and actually decide to vote independent. Just a thought...

  • @pgorney you mean bring informed and voting on the issues? good f-ing luck with that. who can watch a whole debate when american idol is on?

  • cenk is a fighter,,, now i understand why the turks kicked our ass,s at galipoli

  • Three of the best. TYT

  • 2 people that has the ability to produce long sentence came to my mind.

    Dylan Ratigan and Sarah Palin. The former is cool as heck to listen, the later ...

  • THIS is the reason people don't vote. This is the reason people hate the government. They work for the money, not the people. How much longer can this be gotten away with? Not much. We're already throwing people out in droves. This is not necessarily a good thing, but it will keep going on. We will get more and more kooks every time. They are not voting for teabaggers because they believe in what they are saying. They vote for teabaggers because they think they are not corporately owned.

  • If you really do fight the power, you WILL get enough support to do it. Fight for it and you will get real progressives in power. You CAN run a successful grassroots presidential campaign. It's what we all want. It will take a long time, but we're in it for the long haul. We WILL vote in the guys who are actually down for this reform. Some will be voted out and voted down. But get a clean sweep of candidates, and progress WILL be made. We don't want teabaggers. We want change. Get it?

  • I sure hope they gun for a coalition of all progressive groups for campaign finance reform etc. Giving that movement enough energy might help impact the democrats.

    Probably not tho -.-

  • If everything hadn't collapsed they could have taken on the longer battle, but realistically he would have lost the house anyway and it was critically important to do the things they did while they could.

  • Wow, Cenk SOLD OUT. Damn!

  • @Imhotep397 on which part of this video did it indicate that cenk 'sold out'?

  • @kjaoend Critisizing on Obama on things that were out of his control proves to me that Cenk is just bashing Obama because it's popular to do so. The "The Blue Dogs" and Lieberman screwed over healthcare reform, the Supreme court screwed up campaign finance reform, Dems lost filibuster proof major. to force donor lists into the light. On top of that the media downplayed Haliburton connection to the BP Oil spill to protect Bush-Cheney. Cenk knows all of this he just wants to switch sides...

  • @Imhotep397 Your premise would be more legitimate had Obama himself not negotiated away almost the entire core reforms to Big Pharma, AHIP, the hospitals, etc. at the beginning of the health care debate. Barack Obama is essentially a marginally less extreme Joe Lieberman (his mentor in the Senate, btw). The sooner progressives realize this, the sooner we can rectify the long term damage he has done to the Democratic party.

  • @blankportraits The progressive strategy that Cenk and the rest of you mindless twits want to remain overly idealistic about is a recipe for getting absolutely nothing done. None of you really wants to accept the obvious fact that it's because you're all sitting on your asses not doing anything you have the luxury proposing plans that would stonewall any progress. There are things I don't like, but turning the Public option inside out into national HC law is NOT a loss.

  • @Imhotep397 Fine let's do it your way and compromise all of our core principles in the name of "getting something done". Oh wait we did that for 2 years and it lead to a continuing rise in healthcare premiums, escalation of wars, even bigger banks and a nice midterm "shellacking" on top.

  • @kjaoend (cont'd) Until the Tsunami of conservatives target Arabs/Musilms again with the big political guns. I'm talking about them deciding to declare all Mosques terrorist cells or something insane like that.

  • "if you re-build it they will come" another win quote by Cenk.

  • @b1rdkeeper How the fuck are they ignorant? Everything they said was absolutely true, Obama sucks and nothing is going to get done in this country for a while. I hate your opinion, it sucks.

  • @b1rdkeeper

    Are you kidding? Cenk constantly criticizes Obama and his administration for not doing enough.

    "bunch of leftist, liberal douche-bag"

    Didn't you say you were liberal?

    And you didn't respond to me either before.

  • Cenk is wasted on the left! The other guy there looked too scared to speak. The left needs more Cenks and less smart ass pussies

  • Hey what happened to TYT .. where is Cenk and Ana... Im tired of watching Ben and this new chick talk about a snake mating ball....geez dont try to sell us that sh*t.. we are smarter than that.

  • This was one of the best discussions I've heard. I hope Cenk is right, though, that people will really rise up if they try to cut Social Security, because we are not exactly the French. In fact, next to the French, we're like a bunch of battered children. I hate to say it, but it seems to be true. Also, brainwashed

  • @katemcshane I agree-- this was a great discussion. i wish Cenk could control his temper -hed have more credibility.Hes does make people a bit passionate thoughl

  • Ratigan is so awesome it is unreal. I was not a natural fan, he won me over. I have termed what Barack Obama did to the coalition "Political Malpractice"..

  • Dylan for president.

  • I didn't vote cause none of the fuckers running deserved my vote.

  • I'm glad cenk says he's not gonna let them do it and stuff, but um does he know he really has no position of power?

  • I prefer TYT Cenk, because MSNBC Cenk comes off too stiff and rehersed. TYT Cenk is more relaxed, down to earth and frank.

  • @poolerboy0077 yea true, but when he's on tv his credibility is alot more at stake.

    He atleast said what he's been waiting to straight foward say for awhile here. Was a good video.

  • cenk went INNNNNNN.. hardcore..  that's how you stick it to them cenk.

    that was one of the best conversations on a mainstream media network i've ever heard..

  • The "Elephant in the Room" that they "skirt" around is, The United States of America is evidently not a Democracy! A facade of choice is offered to con the electorate into believing that when they vote they can change anything substantially! To be fair, though, the US isn't the only western nation to do this!

  • Cenk should run in 2012 under the "TheYoungTurks" party and kick some ass

  • gogo gadget Independent!

  • YoungTurks updates stopped showing up on my homepage...

  • @allianceFiLifeDotCom same it pissed me off

    

  • Fuckin' A THIS!

  • JJJJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZ Cenk, pull it back a little with the yelling a little. You're at a 50 and you need to be at a 9. That aside, you kicked ass! :D

  • @Bobbiethejean

    FUCK THAT!!! we're on a warpath bitchezzzz!!!! we're taking no prisoners dammit.

    we want campaign finance reform, and we want it NOW!!

    fuck partisan politics, fuck corporate interests, fuck all the other bullshit. we want a populist congress and president, not a democrat or republican, and much less corporatist government.

    get em cenk!!! ruff talk em and run em off!!! git, git, git... lol!!!

  • @elnegrobembon

    You can't get anything right away you must have patience.

  • Ron Paul's website has the procedure for states to impeach their representative. Its time NOW to start working towards impeaching the house. IMPEACH THE HOUSE

  • Obama needs to see the clip.

  • @Luxmans i bet he is waching it, and he is pissed

  • @Luxmans

    What for? To keep hoping for Obama to do the right thing is now just plain stupid.

  • @Luxmans he has... he just doesnt want to be shot by some german international bankers or somthing lol

  • obama did not squander his chance to fight the corporate power structure. he tricked you. he works for the bank just like bush, mccain & the next two fakes we get to vote for.

  • Cenk makes some excellent points which most common sense people understand.

    My update on not watching anything on FOX NEWS. I feel great. I feel more relaxed. I feel more positive. I feel awsome. I recommend not watchng Fox News and feel the difference in your life. But if you have to watch Fox News, do so but really limit the amount you watch and balance it out with other news networks of equal amount.

  • @uniquemetal I totally agree. I used to watch Fox News too (years ago). Then I got fed up and just stopped watching all news, other than some local news. And I would never go back. It just eats away at your time, your energy, and your life, for no purpose at all except to get angry about made up nonsense. You can still be informed through other sources. TRY IT EVERYONE!

  • Yessssss!

  • what if this was the new tyt set :)

  • @GPunktmod Glenn would definitely be an enrichment.

  • this video makes me want to go kick some political ass, TYT Army Let's Go!

  • Is this a rerun of fantasy Island?

    This guy is the new Obama -- the new leftist con man? He's just hustling for page views. There was zero evidence that Obama would bring hope and change. Zero evidence! Nothing but his big mouth. Yet leftist leaders helped perpetuate this fraud on the people. So now they are cooking up a new scam on all those lost leftists suffering an existential meltdown.

    Change the system. Change it to what, Communism? What a joke.

  • @4yearsandout

    Change it so that the people who fund elections don't always get what they want at the expense of the American people to start.

    Communism? Really? Maybe you should watch the video.

  • @4yearsandout

    "Change to what, Communism?"

    ....Fucking idiot. Aren't you ever like ashamed? Of how big of an ignorant wingnut you are? Your kind of mentality is *EXACTLY* what is holding America back.

  • @4yearsandout Zero evidence? Yeah i guess ALL the things Obama promised before being elected count as Zero evidence. Gee where the hell did people get those ideas about change and stuff, he never even said anything about it.

  • @4yearsandout So you dont want transparency in government? you dont want to hold your government and politicians accountable? you want corporations and the big money interests to be able to effectively buy whatever politician or capitol hill staff member they like? If so then you re against what these guys were just talking about

    as Ron Paul said 'The problem with Obama is not that he is a socialist, the problem with Obama is that he is a corporatist'

    PS. communist????

  • We're Going to War! lolololol Cenk

  • @sushanalone Because while 90% of reasonable people are probably not bigots there still are quite a few of them that have the ability to realize they are wrong.

    But your right, it's pretty much not worth it on you tube.

  • If Cenk says its time to go to war then it's time to mobilize TYT Army!

  • TYT Army, hell yes!

  • Thats it i have been trying to deny it for sooooo long but now i have to admit it.

    I HAVE A TOTAL MAN-CRUSH ON CENK

  • @gogitasan not funny ur gay my friend

  • Great fucken video. Lets do this shit Cenk!

  • 100 TRILLION TIMES BETTER THAN FOX (FAKE) NEWS

  • Cenk 4 president all the way

  • goddam Cenk killed it. Wow.

  • You people are such suckers..... You think Cenk is "fair and balanced", yet he makes videos titled stupid shit like "Republicans drink pee water." Plus he backs people like Alan Grayson, who is the goofiest motherfucker to ever be elected to congress in the past 50 years. I could go on and on and on with this nut.

  • Why cut Social Security when you can cut our massive (and wasteful) Defense spending?

  • Grayson for President 2012 -2028

  • We (progressives) may have a large army, but the fact of the matter is neither us or conservatives can win without the moderates and independents in the middle.

    Most of them ran to the gop this time because they felt Obama didn't do enough to get them jobs. Most of those people aren't overly concerned with liberal or conservative agendas. They just want jobs.

    Obama will have much more freedom to enact progressive agendas after he is reelected. Turn on him now and the gop wins in 2012.

  • We'll stand behind you Cenk, you are shedding light where there has only been darkness. All I can say is when you make it big, and it looks like you already have, you have to be PERFECT. They'll be gunning for you left and right; the machine will not let you say these things forever and they do not fight fairly. Give em hell.

  • Cenk is a punk who uses the same old tired lines over and over and over and over and over... how many fucking times is this fool going to make the 3d chess, weak point. this punk is no progressive. Rachel Maddow needs to sit his dumb ass down and school him on WHAT THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE. you can't change the system unless you get the bums out, but talking heads like him who give up so easily and cry and bitch without looking towards the FUTURE are the ones who hurt change. F U Cenk!!!

  • people need to relax and not loose there cool over this election. The democrats lost, the republicans one, move on and look forward. Its not like it armaggedon time 300 or something. Parties win mid term elections almost all the time. If the republicans had not won this they would have been the most incompetent politicians ever. So them winning this doesn't mean they'll take the white house. Just like in 1994, it guarantees nothing

  •  just make a new party! ,both party aren't helping anyone

  • CENK FOR PRESIDENT. AND YES, HE WAS MUSLIM. GET OVER IT.

  • CENK FOR PRESIDENT.

  • Glenn Greenwald articulated a lot of the problems extremely well. Everyone in America needs to see this.

  • I VOTE FOR A CAP ON CAMPAIGN SPENDING FOR ALL PARTIES!

  • Wow...that muslim guy whines alot...He sounded like my 4 year old brother when he doesnt get his way.

  • @pennjersey83 Muslim guy?

  • @pennjersey83 dude he is an atheist; btw islam is a religion not a race.

  • Great discussion! I agree with everyone on there about pretty much everything. But when Cenk started talking about "going to war", it made me a little uneasy. I know what he meant, we all know what he meant, but there's some nut job out there that's listening to that and is going to take it too far. He criticizes right wingers for using violence-laden rhetoric, he should remember what kinds of things can happen when unstable people start hearing things like that.

  • BTW it is the GOP governors who draw districts...and the GOP has many new governors, at excatly the right time! :D :D

  • Your right Dylan, the GOP is going to do something about the redistricting problem...they are going ot jerrymander themselves some districts this year since it has been 10 years and the Census ihas been taken :) We teapartiers can redraw the districts so the dems can never win again...and we will! After seeing how some of the liberal districts look now (so they can hold power), I am not against the GOP doing the same!

  • Wow why dont i hear these discussions on cable more often!?!?

  • Here is the deal...the GOP won by saying "no", and they can keep saying "no" and win bigger in 2012! So the GOP has an easy job. They are Obama's new waterloo. And liberals DID VOTE...the independants voted for the GOP, end of story.

  • Cenk is 1000% right ! President Obama wasted the golden two years ! He promised change !! But hardly change anything !! Reform ! Your have 2011 and 2012 !! The clock is ticking Mr. President !!!

  • Cenk you kick ass brother.

  • Cenk, you are getting very good at this

  • Cenk said "Lets do Obama without Obama"

    I like that :)

    :P

  • Cenk made me come... again.

  • My favourite three guys ever... where's the fourth one (Stewart!?) ;)

  • Cenk is pissed hahahahahahahaha

  • I wonder if the only hope Americans have now is Ron Paul.

  • @13lackLight Oh boy Ron Paul is not the answer

  • Sodom Hussein Obama is just a lawn jockey for the corporate Democrat welfare plantation.

    Small employer insurance pooling by voluntary association would give small employers more bargaining power for their employee health plans.

    You guys have no clue (or you are lying) about the problems in health insurance.

  • @SirWinstonChurchill who the fuck is you? complete sentences?

    it would also give big corporations more power over small businesses and probably insure that insurance companies make money rather the sick get treated or not.

    the public option is the most sensible plan.

  • @truthisouttheir

    No, greedy, greedy man...

    Babylon is full of lies with daggers behind smiles.

    Who is I you ask me?

    I is he you waited for. I am the first who always follows the last, as the earth is a circle, so is the Lions of Judah.

    You know the way of the Rastafari is to give freely that which is given you. Babylon only takes and never gives.

    You ask who I is when you know already, but you do not live free with Babylon...

  • @SirWinstonChurchill "You guys have no clue (or you are lying) about the problems in health insurance."

    that was the you i was referring to but after all that jibberish i don't care what you think anymore. peace

  • @truthisouttheir

    You are not in the video girlie man...

    You are Babylon and you babble on about nothing.

    Was not was, nothing is but what is not.

    Peace you say? Where is the peace when you sent Babylon with guns to collect your tax mr. police man?

  • @Solareffects No ones in ur way - oh brave one! Go forth and find us 60 senators and over a hundred congressmen that will change the campaign finance laws into a form that doesnt make them rich! LMAO Good luck, u dreamer!

  • Cenk got so pissed! I love it!

  • Ratigan's man crush on Cenk! lol.

  • Joe Scarborough & Pat Buchanan donated THOUSANDS of dollars to Republicans and they are allowed to donate to GOP (WTF?) and they get to keep their jobs at MSNBC?? Olbermann donates to Democrats and is suspended indefinitely??

    Well now we know who MSNBC supports, only Neocons, War & Republicans, they can do whatever they want on MSNBC, but if you're a progressive & a truth-teller, you are treated worst than shit on PMSNBC.

    Hannity, Cavuto & Beck Donated THOUSANDS to GOP politicians..

    is. gd/gLmnk

  • Time to mobilize that TYT Army of yours, Cenk.

  • I wonder if Obama ever gets to see these clips? Or are there people actively monitoring the feedback he gets from the media/internet.

  • Comment removed

  • LOL @ Cenk at the beginning

  • Cenk, I with you on the social security.... you just say when and where and I am there.

  • Just get rid of private funding for campaigns, and only allow public donations. Sit back. And see who wins.

    Why is it so goddamn difficult?

  • Actually this panel would maybe even kick the ass of Fox news. The are both highly opinionated and entertaining, but there is a difference: Cenk and co. are FAIR. They don't make up stuff to make somebody look bad, they simply tell us their opinion about the reality as opposed to misrepresenting reality to suit their opinion. That makes the different even from Olbermann, whose passion does take him too far sometimes.

  • @rurikbird

    Well said :)

    :P

    

  • dylan,

    im in

  • NBC, why not make this a regular panel of the show? Those 3 have great chemistry and while they all are generally in the same camp, they don't agree on every issue. Make it Ratigan-Greenwald-Turk show to kick the ass of Parker-Spitzer. We would get lots of interesting, substantive, RESPECTFUL, discussions on TV for a change.

  • Cenk is an idiot.

  • @BuschTek Why so?

  • make more round tables like this one..great commentary

  • If Dylan Ratigan says, "Jerrymander" one more time I swear I'm going to punch a puppy

  • @CenkIsAdorable hahah

  • @CenkIsAdorable CenkisAMuslim!

  • Obama Fail

    Republicans Double Fail

    Libertarians Fascist Money Adicts

    Tea Party Religion Fanatics

    ... and Socialist Europe is the Devil...aren't we?

  • Glen gets the prize ... the American people - through voting for Obama - "...instead of becoming the voice of populace change,.... they became the agents of the status-quo rather than the agents of change..."

    So many of Obama supporters worried about Obama's safety. To me - he was under no threat, whatsoever.

  • powerful stuff

  • I agree with Cenk's previous notion that the Dems and Reps are playing good cop, bad cop on the people. Basically the only option left i protests. Massive protests.

  • Cenk wins.

  • @ebingen Cenk is a LOSER with a capital "L", he's a Whiner with a capital "W", he's a Crybaby with a capital "C".

  • @BuschTek Republican, right?

  • Outside looking in(Scotland). From what I can see, and hear, you need a Libetarian/Progressive Left coalition!!!! Ha ha. The new Republican/Democrat situation.? I think both have great views on the way forward but you must rid yourselves of the corporate takeover!!!

  • Freaking EXCELLENT item by the way. One of the best items in months, because this is what it's ALL ABOUT. I hope this gets tons of views on youtube and TV. Keep it coming guys, keep bring it. This is great!

    I don't understand myself because I'm from the Netherlands, but I'm really happy that people that bring the truth (in my view) get more views! They deserve it. Truth is the only answer in the long run!!!
