CNN's Awkward Analysis of Obama's "Swagga"

[osofreshbaby]

IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE WOULD LOOK AT YOU GUY LIKE YOUR STUPID

[BrooklynJEW7]

As a black guy i thought it was funny and cute. Embarrassing for sure.. but hilarious.

[Dorminay42]

J. Edgar Hoover had tons of swagga.

[YunggPaisleyyBoyy]

"shaq music" ahahaha

[beesleeper]

Republicans should commit suicide.

[cutemussy]

This channel is pretty shameful. They got all this mad equipment - and the actual presenters aren't very good at all ... convert the rambling to actual, interesting commentary man! What is that girl even doing there on the right the whole time?

[TakeNotice100]

To talk black??? Wow I didnt know we had a language, and she needs to stop.....

[jamiedoer2]

Yeah Obama, you go out and be that young, hip 49 year old, you dog, you..

[dimransee]

lol i know nothing about her but from that clip, she seemed so sweet. a little racist but she meant well. she probably thought it was so super progressive of her lol

[omgimlikesofly]

That woman pisses me off so much I have to watch it over and over again to calm myself down. UGH

[JImmy4336]

i stopped at 1:07. I couldn't take it anymore.

[nickm2386]

she's so white

[urreadingthishuh]

Thank you for making this video, of life threatening importance.

[GoblinsnHobbits]

god, lol what a lame white bitch

[tkgawa]

There's a black man to protect her.

[wrlord]

Astonishingly offensive.

[jskaggs2008]

Ok, white girls shouldn't try to dance, and they shouldn't use the word flava or swagga. It just embarrasses all the other white people, and makes it difficult to look black people in the eye. Hey CNN you forgot the fried chicken and watermellon.

[dimransee]

@jskaggs2008 what about white guys? just white girls???

[xoulepas]

she is hot...very hot actually..she can call me anything as long as she gives me a blow job...i forgive her

[LadySmurf09]

she's adorable

[Hardwaykru]

CNN's analysis was natural...this analysis is awkward. Your white-female co-host is looking like.."where are we going with this?" This FAILED!

[tbanke]

This is just sooo funny! I like!

[therohanicelf]

Racists belong in the stone age.

[mwan245]

@therohanicelf

racists deserve to die, there is no point of them living if they're going to be stubborn about everything, cough some republicans

[upplsuckimcool16]

She's like black people are my fav subject you KNOW she wants the black cock!!!

[GetTheLook2010]

She would be a fool not to hug it out with TJ Holmes. OMG that man is so fine.

[FuckUtube2008]

@GetTheLook2010 what ethnicity are you? just curious.

[akaakachi]

What's with the lady lol? Easy girl before you wet your you know what. And young turks, what the F is wrong with you all? You seem excited too. smh.

[KTD82291]

Dude CNN is one thing, but this dude is just embarrassing himself. What's funny is that he knows it because the chick next to him wouldn't even laugh at his jokes, so he just kept trying even harder; thus causing him to say the same thing over & over.

[JiggyMcCue]

Young Turks are faggots.

[imabeme247]

Cringetasticness at its best.

[49prgordon]

Embarrssing

[DanniLuv316]

LMBO this is too funny!

[jd55192]

Cink, you idiotic hypocrite, how does one "talk black?"

[fenderbender602]

i think theyre high as fuck

[IceMetalPunk]

"It's like 'swagger', but with more 'flava'" Holy crap.

I love how after watching that clip, even the Young Turks host has trouble saying "swagga" naturally. And the same thing happened with me afterward--the awkwardness is contagious! xD

Thank God she didn't try to say fo' shizzle, or she'd have orgasm'd right there :P .

-IMP ;) :)

[MrZLeroy92]

@IceMetalPunk We just say swagg, no A or ER at the end. 

[IceMetalPunk]

@MrZLeroy92 Maybe you do, but I've definitely heard it both ways :) .

-IMP ;) :)

[MarcusKiner]

She probably gets a lot of black dick...

[pindapik]

I really hate this douchebag...

He's hammering on people but he doesn' t notice he's EXACTLY the same as that CNN woman.....TOO happy to talk about bullshit.

DUDE...if i was a truk i put a jihad on your fucking family.

[oxus72]

@pindapik well at least you're keeping it civil, that's the main thing. Would your jihad vary depending on if you were a pickup-truk vs a full-blown 18 wheeler?

[GetTheLook2010]

@oxus72 LOL, your comment is hilarious. LOOOOL.

[oxus72]

@GetTheLook2010 can't take cred - joke was there already ;)

[EgyptianPrinceCB]

0:40

that guy thinks he is the coolest ever....

and CNN is shit any ways...

[Yelena335]

0bamas Health Care Reformation, Will it hurt America's residents. . . ? American view point's matter!! See my tube profile page and read how!

[rabidgoldfish65]

That was uncomfortable to watch.

[gombis666]

Have you guys at TYT made enough money to get this sloppy bitch a wireless microphone yet? Pathetic.

[EgyptianPrinceCB]

Obama is a damn disaster .... he is worse than Bush...

[Abgef]

that lame anchor is such hottie..

[Abgef]

haha she's white alright..

[SouthLondonsREAL]

3:16 "I wonder if she thought he had... FLAVAH or SWAGGAH." LOL

[kelvin5830]

i could not watch this video with out pausing every 3 seconds and face palming am i awkward?

[FlyLikeAnEagle2012]

Ebonics fail

[FlyLikeAnEagle2012]

Bush has no fucking swag

[frankystein12]

The anchor is hot, so I'll give her a pass on this.

[upplsuckimcool16]

Cenk I hatew to break it to you but you're not far off from that when you try to act "black" what ever that means... seeriously though when you try to talk with "flava" and you try to put a lil "swagga" to your step ypou don't look much better I think it IS a generational thing HAHAHA!!!

[dwittner]

you critiquing a veteran newscaster... THAT'S funny

[tehutimes1]

Under the constitution Washington was the 1st and a freak who enjoyed fathering kids by his slaves. Washington or Jefferson traded one of their sons to Trinidad for a couple barrels of rum...now thats swagga!!!!!!

[noveltyskateboards]

i enjoy how everyone says obama has swag but no other president does, i don't see why...probably because it's a racial thing?...i think so and you can't say because that song just came out, rappers talked about swag far before obama's presidency...JFK had swag, he was a pimp along with Clinton.....FDR had swag to get us through WWII....George Washington had swag, probably the most, i mean he was the first president of the US

[SouthLondonsREAL]

It aint even racial, its truth don. Your tellin me dat faggot Bush had swag

SNM

[noveltyskateboards]

hahaha NOOOOO Bush had no swag what so ever, he's a dumb shit....Bush falls into the category of, the white guy who said nigga in that rap battle in front of a bunch of african americans...Bush is retarded he has about as much swag as like a chav

[bigot111]

I personally thought it was cute!

[hobodanforever]

/facepalm

[WID7]

White guilt is awkward to watch

[FuckUtube2008]

@WID7 white guilt? you must be one of those angry white nationalist racist types. they're the only nut bars that through around such terms as "white guilt". does she look like she's guilty about anything? nope. she looks like she loves big black cock and that she's having a good time. why don't you try it some time.

[WID7]

@FuckUtube2008 In a way Obama is sticking it to us, next time I hope people look at experience instead of feeling bad for somebody and voting for them. It was a big mistake and we now 3 trillion dollars in the hole and no jobs. I am not a racist but thanks for prejudicing me how ironic

[TheFounderUtopia]

@WID7

...Are you joking right now? You can't be serious surely. 3 trilliant in debt? Because of Obama? Tell me you're joking please.

Look, I'm not an Obama lobbyist by any means, but jesus christ man give a little ground won't you? I mean come on, be fair, be rational at least. When you hand a guy the keys to a country that has *JUST* been all but crippled by the banks with a 13 trillian deficit and a shattered economy, just exactly how quickly do you expect him to be able to fix everything?

[mithras1001]

@TheFounderUtopia shes not joking

[mithras1001]

@TheFounderUtopia and hes not going to fix anything. wake up.

[Abena20]

Someone put a muzzle on that woman!! Stop stereotyping

[shayaan2354]

*FACEPALM*

[bevon17]

god i hate that fucking word

any girl who says she wants a guy with swag needs to be backhanded

[Ken211]

- with a spiked gauntlet

its almost as worse when idiots say it on the basketball court after they hit a shot

[bevon17]

wow-.-

i could imagine that

*makes a 3*

SWAGGA!!!

[princess11222]

@bevon17 the word has become too catchy. i used to use the word swagger a long time ago. now it's everywhere and many that use it don't even know the real meaning. it's just a trendy word now.

[Jemini29944]

This is video is an instant favorite! She was so harmless trying to talk black, so no harm no foul. Keep up the good work TYT.

[williafx]

oh my god unacceptable and embarrassing.

[GUCCImontana420]

that cnn clip was the definition of lame, tryna get carleton banks's older brother to be hood rich

[nightflight83]

Ghetto-speak is lame no matter who does it.

[classic14rider]

Wow, this clip from CNN is incredibly pathetic. If the professional class would spend half as much time (and resources) addressing urban problems as they spend imitating urban fashion this would be a much better country -- this CNN anchorwoman, like most in the professional class, love urban culture but not the people themselves. Sad, but kinda funny too.

[litnight]

Culture, art, music, etc is a function of poverty. Just look through history at a lot of famous artists, and major artistic movements and you will see it rooted not with the people with money, but with the people without it. The people with money though do end up embracing it, adapting it and eventually finding a way to capitalize off of it.

[slugger681]

you're a moron

the renaissance was started in florence and funded by rich italian business families

[litnight]

Let me this again in simpler words. Culture, art and music are FUNDED by and CAPITALIZED on by the rich. But they are created by the poor. Using your example Leonardo Da Vinci, the most famous renaissance man, was born a peasant. I usually don't respond to uneducated people, but I had to point out the absurdity of your comment.

Now just to make you think. If all you've ever known your entire life is how to get everything you've ever wanted what do you really have to express.

[blacksabbathgnr098]

@litnight you're both stupid as hell. The arts know no economic boundaries. A rich person could be the next Picasso. A poor person could be the next Picasso.

And litnight, did you ever consider the fact that maybe some poor cultures exploit themselves to get rich?

Have you ever listened to rap music?

[litnight]

Rap music didn't start out as an exploitation of culture. It became one when the rich people commercialized it. Originally it was the voice of a people silenced by mainstream ideas of what america was like.

As long as we look at things only from our own perspective and refuse to see what other people are really trying to say of course other people, and cultures will look "stupid as hell."

BTW, everything in life has economic boundaries and influence, what makes art any different?

[blacksabbathgnr098]

@litnight i wasn't calling culture stupid as hell, i was calling you stupid as hell because you refuse to believe that anything good can come from a higher economic class. If it weren't for the "rich evil" record producers who invested in these "poor defenseless rappers" then rap woudln't have been distributed and no one would hear their music.

Distribution is essential for any medium. And don't act like the rappers are being exploited because they're making millions for rhyming words.

[litnight]

Whether or not the exploitation of rap (the genre) or any other art form is a good thing or a bad thing is a topic for another time and I never even touched on it. (And bringing up the fact that individuals make millions off of the exploitation has nothing to do with our conversation).

You essentially made absolutely no point relevant to the topic. So I guess I'm bored of hearing your weak arguments and name calling. -Peace

[utwobing]

lol...The chick to the right looks uncomfortable about the whole discussion. Maybe she's thinking, "What are they talking about?" "Why the hell are they talking about this?' "This is really not politically correct?" "I'm not joining in on this one!"

[utwobing]

The young turk news guy is funny.

Yeah she does sound a bit lame. I hate twisting of the English language. The word is swagger. Besides Bush had a cowboy strut. Who even cares?

[RUAMirage]

its slang dont correct it. you're twisting the twist yo

[Groggy1981]

Someone please stop CNN before they hurt themselves.

[squirrelybmx]

what a stupid bitch

[Smurfhat]

Ana does not seem amused.

[Doc53]

swagga is swagger with swag

[tsmith01220]

I don't care about "swagga" or "ebonix". I care about cutting taxes and keeping my health insurance.

[bl4ckf3lla]

This vid was posted before the Public Option even became a issue wasn't it?

[StashBurners]

You saw the title of the clip, why did you click on it? To bitch?

[glaked23]

CNN can be pretty embarrassing it's not even a huge bias like FOX, it's just plain stupidity. First we had this, then we had the "what to do when your BFF unfriends you on facebook" article, then we had the SNL fact check.  I mean some of it is complete lol worthy

[dardonZ]

Yeah lol CNN is more just stupid then you know pretending to be true.. Even though they dont give news either

[viruslived]

agreed

[Dominacus15]

thats classic

[IncredibleStan]

i find it soo cool how the guy was able to find a medium between "sounding cool" and "sounding professional" but the girl was just too damn corny.....

and yea Jayar is right....i think they had "coffee" afterwards

[IncredibleStan]

shes acting like she wants to fuck him

[Krhazey80]

this shit is madd racist lmao but fuck it

[1aaronaaron1]

swagga? who uses that word that is so beyond ... you know what i cant even think of an insult that would do it justice

[Kenidashi]

I agree, you have to pardon her for it. Yeah, way too excited, but it's one of the few times a anchorwomen like her would be able to talk like that without controversy.

[Evilinsane]

oh my goodness, she turns me on.

[toddlerman]

lol

[ToonSquad09]

i swear sometimes if you look at that girl to the right she looks like she hates her job lol

[kenshin80012]

maybe she just hates the douchebag next to her, hes a gimp

[octasian]

She might be apart of the "white women club" were white women find blacks to have sex with.

[XratedBarbie]

lol i thought that shiit was funny :D

chill out with the racism though -_-

[Coolflames101]

she just wants to fuck the guest lol

[DeviaPeregrinus]

This is seriously fucking retarded.

[EGarrett01]

It's not really a race thing. Obama does have a "swagga," and so did JFK, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. It's more a matter of having a strong personality and being comfortable in yourself.

[princess11222]

@EGarrett01 Hmm, black men just have more swag. It's not politically correct to discuss it, but we all know it's true. However, JFK was indeed a white guy with swag.

[EGarrett01]

@princess11222

Not really, no. It may be cultural, but it's not racial so you shouldn't make statements like "black men have more swag" as though it's in the DNA. That fallacious method of thinking and speaking leads to some really dumb and dangerous things.

[princess11222]

@EGarrett01 It probably is cultural, but black men do have more swag just like they have bigger cocks and are better dancers.

[csereix]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ­ZZ

I just wasted valuable minutes from my life.

[oppositronic]

exoticism - look it up

[Redthatsmyname]

I like YTs, but I don't which was worse; CNNs report on the presidents "swagga" or cenks report on their report. Both kinda stupid.

[5285086]

REPUBLICAN JACKASS

[M3GTR]

this is why america sucks complete dick...fucking cripes..

[DeviaPeregrinus]

STFU

[xxxDollarGeneralxxx]

snowbunny was tryn to show she got a lil swag......fail

[jamesarongray]

man this guys such a bitch

[LimbaughTheMoron]

Hold up Hold up. We all know that Cheney is a cross-dressa but we gotta keep thangs on the down-lo.

Peep dis: Palin been comin over in disguise late at night, she be actin' like she don't like niggas, but I be layin pipe in her dumbass. Why she be frontin' yo?

[Antwansuperstar88]

Talk Black?

[MrStupidAtheist]

Yo Yo Yo, I gotta pull y'alls chain on the quiet tip, gotta drop some science down so y'all niggas can know what tam it is up in hey-yah!.....Holla Holla!!

[miguelin97223]

Hollaaaa!!

[Antwansuperstar88]

Shut up !

[MrStupidAtheist]

Hehehe.

[0ushka]

LOL <3

[saltyfrye]

I like how they assumed the black anchor is ghetto and should be a "swagga" consultant..."hit the rock"....You can tell he was just like "damn these racists"...Good old CNN

[jmanflex]

america is fucked now, no use fighting for this country. brb slittin wrists

[dynamitee8]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[csereix]

Nero fiddles....while Rome burns.  CNN you have lost ALL credibility...

[monica24b]

"Talk Black"?! smh

[NA60469]

Whats wrong with CNN?

[stefangsteff]

OMG....i fear for the future when my so called "News" station is talking about Obama's "Swagger" while Trillions are being wasted everyday and Bills are being pushed through congress at 3am ....I wish people can wake up.....and IM fucking BLACK!!! SO DON'T call me fucking rasict.....I wish my people would stop wearing the fucking Shirts and Hats and wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! READ A FUCKING BOOK!!

[ULoveMyCoffee1]

Has anyone watched Obama speak without his telepromptor..(ithink I spelled that right) Anyhow, let the bumbling begin. And gives a crap about SWAGGA? We want 50cent in the white house??? We want an intelligent, honest and responsible man or woman with the countries best interest as a priority...not how the pop culture rates their swagga. Yep...CNN is pop culture. The founders of this great country would puke seeing this "FREE" press swooning over this leader.

[Ltdeacon]

kinda like how reagan was, "a real american hero" please the 80's g.i joe cartoon theme.

[SenseiDonGraham]

Hm which part is supposed to be awkward, cause the dude after the ccn interview was pretty awkward hehe

[yippiekiyah]

corny

[POWERJFROMLA]

i hate these stupid guy he is so annoying!!!!!!

[ScarbzDynasty]

fuck

[Spazzboy911]

"they're stuffy up-tight presidents"

being the leader of the Free World, USA, i don't want the PotUS to have any f*cking 'swagga' in the office. i want him to do his job and help the US. what we now have is 'swagga' and high taxes. f*ck this world.

[dionnerrushin]

Did he say the anchor was happy to "talk black"? What exactly does that mean? I could have sworn that black people are not the only ones to use slang when they speak. So if most people use slang, how is this talking black?

[kidq26]

calm down hes not racist and you know what he means

[cottonmintcandy]

hahaha...lol

[Estrogenerous]

huh?

bill clinton had swagga lmfao

[daydreamin09]

hell yea foo was straight up playa.

[elnegrobembon]

what the hell is "talking black"?? do they really think that the word "swagga" part of "black people's native language"???

seriously... smh... idiots..

[Jicim]

saddening to know people voted for a rockstar over content.

[princess11222]

@Jicim We didn't vote for Obama cause we thought he was a rock star, a lot of us just didn't want Palin near the white house.

[FuckUtube2008]

@princess11222 you seem like a white woman that loves sucking big black cock? is this the case?

[Jicim]

my palm is on my face.

[chowbelly]

It's a country coon show that puppet obama puts on to fool the avg 85 IQ blacks and hypnotized whites into thinking that he is anything other than a tool of the moneychangers. His actions betray his thin facade as he pillages our wealth and attacks our rights. Deeper into fascism we go

[PLAYZ2SLAY]

wtf is swagga.

[whitetailhunta]

swagga-(to have a large cock.) ''that obama guy has a lot of swagga.'' lmao!

[adrift923]

Kyra Phillips is one of most pro-Obama newscasters on CNN. So annoying, not to mention unethical.

[1pygmychimp]

Jesus that woman is annoying

[beasttoe212]

anyone who votes for barak obama for his youth or "swagga" is an idiot and probably should not be able to vote.

[yusefdoodie]

Just let her have fun LOL

[SkitzSkitzSkitz]

amen! she was so excited too! hahahaha... good for her :)

[AldoRama69]

This is the most liberal you tube channel I have seen in a while.

[mrsbungle82]

I don't think she was that bad.  She was corny and all but it wasn't as bad as he's making it out to be.

[Qsosnaspear]

He's 39?!

[phiveofakind]

Our white camera man is tryin' to swagger over there with the camera. Swagga it's like swagger with a little more flava

[gocksly4554whathavey]

Rent or buy Bottoms Up! It is such a good comedy! It is so funny! I just rented it!  It is good!

It has the guys from Clerks 2!

It is bomb!

LYON

[gfsfg111]

Ignorant little Bastards

She knows nothing because she's friggin WHITE. You're brown, therefore you at least half understand.
