[PAYNE227]

Have we got four yrs. of this s_ _t? Obama came from this area and he has some shady friends. In the time of economic chaos we don't need this. Bush has just about killed the country and someone with sanity needs to be in charge to get control, not answer questions about shady practices. We have one of the most spend thirft congresses in history, someone needs to rein them in. I have lost my retirement to Bushs,Banker friends,I would like to get some of it back. It doesn't look good.

[HG2013]

What about all the corrupt children being born that day?

[basenjib123]

Obama comes from one of the most corrupt areas in the USA. Nigger is as crooked as the rest of those thugs are.

[Minionuup]

I wonder how much Obama paid Blagojevich for his seat.

[mikecashvip]

obama became a senator before blagojavich was governor

[Minionuup]

Obama became a senator in 2004 after eliminating his opponents from the ballot. Blagojevich was elected govenor in 2002. What are you talking about? Do you know?

Again, how much did obama pay for his seat?

[mikecashvip]

obama was in the illinois senate from 97-04, hardly unqualified. besides, blagojavich only became governor after marrying the daughter of dick mell, the most powerful alderman in chicago. before that he was a traffic lawyer, a bad one at that. obama earned his seat, blagojavich is a different story

[Minionuup]

lol! Where do you people get this shit from?  Please go re-investigate your boy.

[mikecashvip]

well... about 10 years ago i was introduced to blagojavich through a serbian friend. blagojavich was a lawyer practicing in cook county at the skokie courthouse. he got my friend off some traffic violations.

[lassiecox]

him and his good friend the judge, long live chicago and all hail to the gambino tribe and casino america, yes its plane to see america is on the upside of bad, if you don't believe me then read the bloomberg report or usa today where only trith is raparted, don ax don tl

[lassiecox]

Isenate from illinois a reputable form of government, and not a mafia related event. One good thing about Chicago though is the, toll booths surrounding the city where the average commuter is given some form of relief, its not much, but its a start, and the two party system, on one side of town its polite and relative crime free except for the taxes---on the other side of town its absolute unmistakable anarchy, where anything goes, if you have the clout cash, affirmatively speaking, wright?

[kipptumor]

All this shit aside, yes - The Republicans are doomed right now, and as long as they think they need the strychnine-swilling snake-handler vote, they will continue to lose. As long as they pander to only two-percent of the population they will continue to lose, and as long as they insist on conducting policies behind closed doors and creating policies that strip liberty from the people they will continue to lose.Democrats too, have to change their tune, or they will never regain trust.

[Minionuup]

waaah!

[UTBESUX]

You right wingers are the most delusional, pathetic tarts on the planet. Honestly do you even have a clue as to what REALITY is? OBAMA is corrupt because of this guy? Either you are retarded, delusional or an idiot which is it? I's say all of the above and mean no offense to the mentality challenged. 911 happened on Bush's watch you blame Clinton. PEOPLE were left to DIE after Katrina hit, you blamed Clinton for the levees & called survivors looters because your leaders told you to. PATHETIC!

[yanikv]

Illinois politics are garbage, almost as bad as Delaware. Quite a few states should be under serious investigation, but that wont happen.

[WKaliber1]

Obama and Briebeovich were once friends and played water polo together.

[hollyhoodjoe123]

I asked this before, and I will continue to ask this until the media, or at least tpmtv, covers this.

I am not trying to downplay the importance of this story, but why isn't the indictment of Dick Cheney getting similiar coverage from the press?

This is baffling.

[Ender1zero1]

Probably because the charges were based on investments he made and he had no direct involvement with the alleged prisoner abuse and because the charges were dismissed over a week ago, at least that would be my guess.

[IndieArtistChaz]

I was the first person in IL to publicly call for Blagojevich to resign on Easter 2007 during my radio broadcast here in Lake Co. IL. Less than 2 weeks later, the mayor of my town, who is on the station board of directors cancelled my radio show, citing that my comments bothered local politicians.

[mattm4454]

you want a prize?

[IndieArtistChaz]

No, but you can suck my butt with a thousand crazy straws if it makes you feel better about yourself!

[ZEROEVILDARKCOOL]

WHY WERE THEY WIRETAPPING HIM?

[DieKazze]

cmon say FUCK dammit -.-

[toughmilitary]

Damm Crooked Politicians,all of them...Including "The Chosen One"...

[toughmilitary]

Obama knew EVERYTHING that was going on with his Buddy Governer!! Paying the Highest Bidder for O. Senate Seat?? Governer of Illinois,O's home state? I wonder how much of a CUT, O. was going to get for this Transaction??

[SabuPtolemy]

Shithead, do you really think Obama is dumb enough to jeopardize his Presidency before he is even inaugurated by aiding a crook like Blagojevich? Get a life.

[toughmilitary]

Hey sabu...Your Leader is a damm crooked politician like all the others....Charlie Rangle,etc.  ASSHOLE... Get some BRAINS...

[SabuPtolemy]

Obama is not Rangel and he is not Blagojevich. I know all you right-wing fucktards would love nothing more than for Obama to stumble as soon as possible so you can shit on the man but he's got nothing to do with the selling of his old seat so shut your dumb redneck mouth.

[ver506]

Yeah, republicans are practically giddy over this. Blago was cursing at Obama on the recordings, but no, they have to have been "paling around". Republicans will not accept anything else......which is why they will lose again in 2012.

[joelp123]

ASS-HOLE

[marniespeaks]

Obama is a terrible liar

[NativeCain]

What he lie about?

[marniespeaks]

His relationship with Blago and that he knew this was about to drop

[NativeCain]

He didn't say he didn't know him or what he was doing..He just said he can't comment on it as it is an ongoing investigation and that he has not had contact with them. I know a friend of my had a baby, but I have not had contact with her. See what I'm saying?

[pokerslut530]

Some of the comments I see on here just make me scratch a hole in my head sometimes. Actually, that's exactly what he said. After saying he didn't want to comment he follows up with "I had no contact with the governor or his office and I was not aware this was happening" What video were *you* watching? Selective hearing or something?

[NativeCain]

hah..you're right..I missed that part..My fault. =)

[MooseOfReason]

Best bleeping video this week!

[biggerflexible]

If I was Blagojvich I would pick a senator quick as hell lololol.

[Spective10]

Obama saying no comment on ongoing investigations That is NOT change you can believe in!

[jcb74]

Oh Bleep off!

[Spective10]

eat it, mate.

[Himechansexytightass]

Oh, please. The gov is REALLY pissed at Obama because he wouldn't bribe him for "candidate 1" and said fuck them.

[Spective10]

Obama sounds like Bush with comments like that. He better shape up.

[TuNnL]

It's inappropriate for Obama to comment on an ongoing federal investigation. At the time he made his comments, Blagojevich had not even appeared in court yet. You have a lot to learn about the law, son.

[Spective10]

Don't patronize me cock sucker. That's why today Obama came to his senses and stated that the a-hole Gov of Ill. should resign. This is more than a legal matter. There are political ramifications, and the last thing Obama should do is start sounding like the corrupt Bush administration. You are such a douche with your law remark: That's why several lawyers have told me I know law pretty damn well, and recommended that I should become a lawyer. Obama figured it out so Eat crow.

[TuNnL]

Ah yes, namecalling. Your last feeble attempt to defame my accurate statement. Obama didn't "figure it out." He already knew when it is and is not appropriate to comment. Now that Blagojevich has made his initial appearance in court, surrendering his passport, Obama can feel free to share his view on the next step for Blagojevich, without jeopardizing the case. He also has had enought time to thoroughly analyze the criminal complaint, and give an informed opinion on Blagojevich's ethical lapse.

[Spective10]

Your channel is a porn channel, and you are trying to present yourself as above it all. You are keeping IRONY alive! You are a joke.

[TuNnL]

Im not trying to present myself as anything. Im just clarifying the facts, for which you apparently have very little regard. Two consecutive posts with mostly namecalling and personal attacks. Sure doesnt help your case, but keep trying.

[Spective10]

Face it, Obama using Bush as a model to discuss political/legal issues is doomed to failure. He came back the next day and wisely changed his tune. I was right; the facts are on my side. You evidently have no comprehension of facts, you are mysteriously condescending, and you have zero originality in your channel making you basically worthless.

[TuNnL]

The facts, as I stated previously, are that Obama waited until Blagojevich appeared in court before making any specific comments on the case. Your take on the matter is simply a skewed coloration of what is otherwise pretty simple to understand.

I dont have a channel, so perhaps you should avoid watching my favorites if it displeases you. But since you did, and seem so obsessed with the content, I would postulate that you probably enjoyed it.

[Spective10]

I glanced at the still content of your channel to see who the idiot was on the other end. The facts are I was right.

[TuNnL]

Changing the subject will not change the absurdity of your view of Obama. But keep trying.

[Spective10]

I love lesbians too. Have a good life. I was right.

[Spective10]

If this was a right-wing conservative Gov, I guarantee Fox News would find a way to defend this guy. But liberal out lets like Countdown w/ K.O. and Rachel Maddow along with CNN and the rest of MSNBC all criticized this a-hole to no end. Liberal media holds everyone accountable, conservative media defends reactionaries to no end and goes overboard if a Democrat gets caught. Regardless, at least this a-hole told Obama to F-off, and Raum Emanuel turned him in.

[InTylerWeTrust84]

Maybe its because Ive been drinking but I dont know what to say, but what the fuck, what an asshole. How did he think he would get away with this? I mean fuck man, come on.

[foxilocks2007]

that blago guy is bleeping screwed. wire taps.....BLEEP!

[ethanbrand]

wire taps? why was the governer being wire tapped?! He's not a terrorist. No one is safe. No one is free.

[chrishird21]

Corruption charges I suppose? To be honest, he's been caught attempting to sell a Senate seat. He certainly won't be free anymore :) How can you consider it a bad thing that he was being wiretapped?

[marniespeaks]

They have to prove he took something for the seat, so far all they got is a lot of bravado

Why didn't they wait for the transfer of funds and cuff him like Marion Barry?

Something's missing or this was very sloppy, unlike Fitzgerald.

[FeelFreeToArgue]

No bleeping mercy for corrupt bleeps.

[WKaliber1]

I bet that guy helped Obama get elected too. Obama is corrupted too.

[buffalosouljah18]

Oh, just shut the bleep up.

[Timmy23413]

No. Blagojevich tried to bribe Obama to choose the person to fill his vacant senate seat in exchange for a higher position, possibly in Obama's cabinet, or money. Boy was Blagojevich furious. Obama is clean as a whisle.

[WKaliber1]

no he is not, Obama was born in Kenya

[Himechansexytightass]

Oh, fucking stop it. The Hawaii State Department said that he is born in Hawaii and they are the final authority on it.

[popgyrl]

Obama and Blagjoviech are not friends.

This is what Blagjoviech had to say about Obama in regards to Obama getting in the way of selling the senate seat:

"F**k him," Blagjoveich says of Obama during a lengthy call with top aides and his wife recorded on November 10th, "For nothing? F**k him."

[masterhook]

and you bleeping stupid.

[jcb74]

You get bleeping thumbed down, and you come back & repeat your bleeping stupid un-substantiated crap?

Bleeping bleep. Obama got elected, get the bleep over it!

[virtualheadache]

bleep him

[hollyhoodjoe123]

I don't see the big deal. The only thing Blavo-whatever did was sell the senate seat to the highest bidder.

Isn't that the whole point of capitalism? If there is a high demand for a good or service, and there is a limited amount of that good or service, then you give that good to the highest bidder.

The governor was only fulfilling the law of capitalism. If he would have gave that seat away, he would have been picking "winners and losers." Only a communist country allows that!

[Timmy23413]

If only this was bleeping legal. You don't see me selling weed on ebay where the highest bidder receives my goods.

[mgband]

@hollyhoodjoe123

Thumbs up your comment for sarcasm.

[Causa10bserver]

Blatant political corruption in Chicago is hardly new news. I do find it extremely hard to believe that someone representing a state in the Senate has no contact whatsoever with that state's Governor. Perhaps he meant "lately"?

[TuNnL]

If you viewed the entire Obama press conference, rather than the "edited-down soundbite" included in this montage, you would know that the President-elect was responding to a specific question regarding "the situation with his U.S. senate seat." I would advise you to watch that press conference before you jump to conclusions based on this "TPM-TV" clip.

[Causa10bserver]

Thanks for pointing that out, it would've been nice if they'd included the extra second of the reporter asking the question in their vid. Though BO's statements in the actual news conference seemed more pertinent and newsworthy.

[bombonyou]

WHERE IS SHEPARD SMITH??!!

[WadeBlazingame34]

Good one! What's a 100 Second Recap without Dreamy Ole Blue Eyes the Double-Secret Liberal?

[WadeBlazingame34]

His haircut is the real crime.

[JordanMBucher]

This whole story is bleeping crazy.

[arizonacardinals2007]

Obama LIED!!!!

[vertigate]

What's with the Star Trek guy? Fattie.

[MuglyTheWorm]

lol @ his evangelical hair

[dgleason2]

he just got caught....im glad, but that has/will continue...

[zame209]

bleep them indeed

[sharinganclan213]

lol jack cafferty is the shit.

[ForzaInternazionale9]

Can someone explain to me what happend ? about the belogovich guy

[TomStrong08]

He tried to sell Obama's vacant Senate seat.

[gcalvanetten]

that and a whole carpet of corrupt activities on the side, including trying to retract a $8 Million funding for a childrens hospital because they didn't give him campaign money.

[southernfried08]

u should google it

duhhhhhhhh

[voyeurdug]

His bleeping hair is prettier than Mitt Romney's bleeping hair...

What's under that-there bleeping hair (both) is very, very unpretty.

So unpretty.

[22OHV]

And he wanted to close prisons in IL, for no apparent reason. For one Pontiac...several criminals in which is already overcrowded. Tear a Prison, build a prison. Contracts, Contracts, Contracts. He never cared about state workers, never was at the capitol when a mobb of 400 AFSCME Union officers protested there, he was in Hollywood! Also he managed to fire 40 state Il National Guard security officers for a multi million dollar private security contract.

[TheWayISeeIt1982]

I agree. Democrats in Illinois have been tired of Blagojevich for a long time.

[loveforeignaccents]

Greedy, dumb-ass punk at that!

[addmoreice]

at least the democrats are coming down on him like a ton of bricks.

[dogtv]

shatner!

[thatonehobo3]

bleep lol

[masterdude787]

BLEEP HIM AND HIS FAMILY!!!

I dont get it!! why doesnt the FBI just execute these fuckers on the spot!!

Fucking Human Rights people are also a BLEEPING BLEEP!

[WKaliber1]

I bet that guy helped Obama get elected too. Obama is corrupted too I bet.

[Aerotides]

Your bleeping bet means nothing unless there is bleeping evidence. Bleep. :D

[hoosiermama5357libin]

Wow you're so smart! This gov of Ill had control over all the other states Obama won and the 63 million voters!! Aren't you supposed to be up at the supreme court with your hair on fire?? ou need to tighten your tinfoil hat before rational thought enters.

[majorgeek]

Bleep You!

[SubmarinerAndroid]

You "bet."  You don't know a thing.

[rezzo1]

He did nothing to help Obama get elected. Most Illinois Democrats dissociated themselves from Blago 3 years ago.

[DarkManS32]

Bleeeeeeep.

-.-

[petey8080]

haha  "He's a PUNK!"

Hey grandpa!!!!! Come into this century! At least call him a little bitch.

[randomvidwatcher]

What is with the name and description on this video?

[rohstyles23]

December 9, 2008: The Day in 100 Seconds don't know why they didn't title it.

[VinceOmega]

I like it!

[uberlyPWNDshow]

It's everything that happened today in 100 seconds.

[Spective10]
