The American voter doesn't have a choice!!! Either we vote for Obama or we get whatever idiot the Republican Party gives us. That is reality! So either way we get a puppet of the corporations.
lol @ u punks listening to politition. how about folowing this. get a job live your life. If somthing goes wrong don't blame anyone. don't you see what these people are doing?? they are making him (obama) out to be a "terrible president" as if all the previous ones told the whole truth and nothing but the truth. we get it!! he is black and people don't want another black president or even consider voting for another black so lets bash him. yeeeaahh sooo smart !!! i didn't vote...SUE ME!!
STOP VOTING THESE SCUMS! THEY ARE ALL THE SAME! You should wake the fuck up, stop believing all their crap! They are good in persuading you, but don't get fooled! They are the same bastard race!
worldwide we have to think outside the box, as they say, the actual economic model caused the crisis, it CAN'T be solved with concepts involved with it, we need a new model
The problem with the spending freeze isn't that it's a change of position for Obama. The problem with it is that, thrown against the spending that will still remain, it's like using a $700 rebate on a $70,000 Escalade as a justification for buying the Escalade. It doesn't make buying an Escalade a good idea! (The "Escalade" in this example is the massive spending that stays in the budget, btw.)
Although I don't blame Obama, he should still stick to waht he says and what he promised. It hasn't gotten too bad yet, but if it's really because he's worried about what the reps think, then screw that. He should do what he thinks is right for the whole country, not just the politicians sitting around him. I agree with his plans a lot, they sound great, but only if he starts that up.
People were rightly concerned that Sarah Palin could become President, if anything happened to McCain, but Obama shows you don't need her when the President appoints the wrong people to key positions in the Administration.
Is Obama the first President to appoint his own political assassins?
In the present situation, Marc Antony would have a hard time convincing anyone that these people "are all honourable men."
Let's make clear that we are now a year further down the road and circumstances have changed. Personally I don't think it is a bad thing to have a president who can change his mind about things (depending on circumstances or availability of info).
There's no way in hell Obama will get re-elected come 2012. It's ironic how everything John McCain said he would do, Obama denied, and then turned around and did himself.
I didn't want McCain, but now I wonder if we picked the wrong guy after all. . . .
the best part of tonites borring speech was the end! lmao! barak HUSSAIN obama is a little to late to try to make up for his terrible first year.. and i hope he failes again..OBAMA SUCKS.
Thanks for making it very clear that you want us to make massive cuts to the military. You have undermined your own position to the point where if anyone (for whatever reason) quotes you on anything, people will be able to point to this video to discredit you. Advancements in training and weaponry have saved an uncountable number of American lives, but hey, you're a Turk right? What does that matter to you.
I have been saying this since the election. Obama is a closet conservative. In practice he is more conservative than Bush was. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but his campaign even announced this on Faux news themselves in an attempt to appeal to the republican constituents who were still fence-sitting.
Well I'm glad that the economy was there to provide a learning curve for the guy. The fact is can't make the tought decisions, he has no experience and would rather be cheered at speeches (he had roughly 300 last year) and holding partys ( one every three days) or go golfing.
its funny how cenk and other progressives say their "fiscal conservatives" yet they support a totalitarian health bill that will not only take away our freedoms, it will also bankrupt this nation, and their other solution is to sacrifice our soldiers lives by cutting their budget? the soldiers fight and die for our freedom but the liberals are still willing to stab them in the back, tax and spend liberals not only hate america and our values, they also hate our troops
How come Clinton was able to balance the budget yet still create 22 million new jobs??????? We should find out how he did it and start from their!!!!!!
I voted for obama, and I never thought I would regret it, but then I remember the only other option. McCain and Palin. so basically we had 2 shitty choices, and one piece of shit just had cologne on to make himself smell better. fuck obama fuck democrats fuck republicans fuck John McCain I want a new party
@bevon17 We always have two shitty choices, we never have real choices. I admire the few congressmen who tried to expose Geithner in the hearings, but they are mostly alone and fighting to survive. one of them, here in IN, Burton (decades of a solid seat in a solidly Republican district) almost did not survive the primary here in IN. I reluctantly joined Tea Party, even though they are "out Republicaning" the Republicans. At least they are not beholden to Goldman or Morgan, etc.
Good thing THAT IS NOT WHAT OBAMA IS DOING. My dem friends are absolutely acting like utter fucking idiots not paying attention TO WHAT OBAMA IS ACTUALLY SAYING!
That's an apt point. HOWEVER, the freeze isn't across the board, like too many Dems are saying (which makes them look stupid) it's a scalpel to certain waistful programs while giving additional money to other programs.
for your info, France subsidizes its farming industry to a much larger degree, and France is, according to so many far-leftie socialists, the best Country in the World in which to live
that is, if you don't mind rude people, smelly women, dirty cities and dog shit everywhere!!

BTW, if i liked Japanese cars as you do, i would be driving a GTR, not a broken down 350Z,...but then again that's likely all you can afford, amirite?? hey?
Face it guys. Obama has duped us all. Who would've believed a year ago that he would only prove to be a coward and a liar... Thinking about all the time, money, and hope we gave him makes me sick. He took advantage of the American peoples hope for change only to advance himself. I just hope we as a people don't fall for his type of 'snake oil' charm again,
The Pres. does not handle the economy. His job is to pick people who can. A Pres. is not required to hold undergraduate degrees in all gov matters.
Only to identify the will of the people and needs of the country and pick the best people.
McCain would have without a doubt picked the same people. If Obama picked up Bushes guys, you don't think his successor with the same economic policies would? Exactly.
This is the establishment in play. Not any 'lack of experience'.
It is utterly ridiculous, the USA spends more than $100 billion more on its armed forces than all of the other top ten biggest spending countries put together!
Here's the thing DaytonaRoadster, do you honestly think that because the USA spends more than $100 billion more than the next ten top spenders combined, it could win a war against China, France, The United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, Japan, Italy, Saudi Arabia and India all at once? Because baring in mind all of these countries put together spend less.
Obviously this situation will never happen, but I think that the figures show that the USA is paying WAY WAY WAY too much on its military.
No it's not... The USA spends $607 billion, while the next rest of the top ten spend $476.4 billion combined. Therefore the USA spends "more than $100 billion more".
The next biggest spender is China with $84.9 billion.
My hope is that Obama is using the Bugs Bunny strategy. The Republicans say, "NO" to everything, so propose spending cuts, and watch the Republicans oppose cuts before they realize what they are saying.
I think the inteelectual facade that was Obama has well and truly dissapeared. Wake up, the guy is an inexperienced naive candidate that should have never been president.
I have switched to the Green Party. I think they are too far Left, but when Greens compromise with the corporatitsts, they will end up in the right place.
At one time the Democrats were real liberals and the Republicans were real conservatives. Today they're neither. Both parties are fucked up and that means we're screwed.
Another reference from Babylon 5.I believe this new breed of Republicans are Shadow allies with George.W.,Cheney,Rove & their followers as the Drakh..

Obambi will be a 1 TERM EPIC FAIL and will get PWNED by Sarah Palin, America's NEXT President and GOD's CHOSEN ONE! Palin has SUPERIOR understanding of the economy and Palinomics will HEAL the world economy for it has the DIVINE and PURIFYING POWER OF GOD HERSELF! Top economists will sing their praises to Palinomics and it will surpass Reaganomics! If any lowly economist criticizes Palin, she will UNLEASH THE WRATH OF GOD HERSELF onto him and EXPOSE his PUSSY for the whole world to see!
My hope, Obama says, " I thought when I was elected, that I could bring the parties together. As I have found out, both parties are the same, I cant even get my party to side with me, too many republicans in democrats clothing.
There is nothing I can do by myself so I have decided, today, to resign. Live with Biden for the next three yrs. then elect who u want.... It will not matter.
People vote by freely deciding where to spend their own money.
Capitalism is individual voluntary exchange. The one way to become successful in this economic system is to satisfy the needs and wants of people since it is a voluntary system.
Socialism is about force. Success is only achieved by mutual corruption with politicians, since govn't controls a greater amount of the contracts.
Socialism is obama forcing taxes upon you. Then solely dictating where it will be spent to pander for votes
Maybe we should just wait and see what's going to happen. Obama is looking at information that none of us have access to. I'm guessing when Obama got into the white house and saw the real numbers he realized we are in alot more trouble than he thought.
imcdowall i hope your right but it's already been a year since he was elected, we are losing our super majority in congress, he hasn't been able to pass any real kind of change, there has been no standing up to wallstreet. obama is a pussy, i suppose we should have suspected it from the start but we all figured it was best to go with the one who promised the most, in the end it's all we can do.
Cenk dot you know Hoover IGNORED Mellon? Mellon wanted to liquidate the bad debt and assets in the system and let the recession run its course, but did Hoover listen? NOPE. Roosevelt only made it worse with his New Deal.
Stop waiting for Obama, or any politician for that matter. It is, has always been, and always will be up to ordinary people to organize and work for what they believe in. There are no saviors, educate yourself and act!
I've never called anyone a redneck idiot. But a lot of people who claim to be on the side of the people have so I understand where you're coming from. Instead of getting out there and organizing people with real grievances, they laugh at them and dismiss them. Then people with hidden agendas take advantage of that very real rage people are feeling and point it at easy targets like the gays, immigrants, black people, liberals, and so on. It's sad. It divides people who should be standing together
This horrible first black president a corporate sell out. If I knew this was going to happen I would voted for nobody. What can we do corporation have so much power maybe we could never do anything to them from the very beginning.
No, we need President Sarah Palin for she will ROOT OUT all forms of evil corruption in Washington and promote true conservative causes for all people in this country for Palin has the POWER OF GOD HERSELF!

listen to dipshit young turk projecting his fascist progressive traits onto republicans again. "sounds like a republican if I ever heard one" liberal BS.
when turk says the people are angry what he really means is the far left loon progressive SCUM are angry. you filth minority don't represent the people so cut that crap out.
hey progressive VERMIN, what's the solution? well, gut the military and tax the hell out of the rich of course. that's what these socialist PIGS always say
frictionRx5. You complain about Cenk's one sided statement by making several statements even more one sided? I think you should do a little research before you start with your Fascist BS. Fascism requires a melding of religious, Govt interests. Over protection of corporate interests. Overzealous love of patriotic symbols. Disgust for intellectuals. Rampant militarism. Disdain for labor. Suppression of human rights. Obsession with crime and punishment. Seems more right than left. Clueless you are
From what I can tell, alot of people in the country are angry.
I'm so envious of Conserva-nuts like you, I wish I lived in a Fantasy world too.
You and I are both taking it in the Ars. But I know who's phucking me, you on the other hand think the Republicans who are ramming their d!#c$ in your anus are doing so because they like you.
@frictionRx5 republicans are fascist and Cenk has been attacking Obamas typical politican policies for almost a year now. You're so funny with your Glen Beck on meth post.
Politics is not about courage, it is about compromise. Having principles, requires courage. Most politicians care only for power and that does not require principles.
I wanted Hillary and hoped she would go all the way against Obama. If she won Michigan and Florida. SHe would have run against McCain. I hope she runs again. Show this guy the DOOR.
My issue with Hilary is that she was once on the BOD of Wal-Mart.
Bill Clinton enacted "Free trade" with China (A communist country) greatly accelerating the importation of US jobs.
Bill Clinton also eliminates the Glass-Steagall act, enacted after the great depression to separate consumer banks from investment banks, which many believe is the single biggest contributing factor creating our current economic situation.
BOTH parties have sold us out, Clintons INCLUDED!
I feel like a retard for supporting Obama. I wanted to vote for Hillary, but got swept away with all that hopey-changey thingy. In my defense smarter people than me got hoodwinked to. Anywho in 2012 I will correct my mistake.
Out of curiosity why Hillary? I do not think any of the candidates were going to bring any real change. Hillary maybe would have once upon a time. Back when she tried to bring about universal health care. But remember that eventually she backed down as well. Who knows though...

I don't care about any of that. The only thing I care about is here & now. And Obama is blowing it on ALL fronts. I guess that is what you get when you send inexperienced weasel to do a job.
Since when did Republicans take the reign on defense spending? They have to be the strong ones on defense? When did this happen? True and traditional conservatives would be against this crazy interventionist spending on wars!
"Mr. Republican", President Taft was against the formation of NATO for goodness sake!
Ron Paul is seemingly the last true conservative in Washington today.
Despicable.
IMO, 2012 is Ron Paul's last chance to take office...or another Bush/Obama will take office!!!
lol No. However, I did make the mistake of calling him President Taft...I was referring to Senator Robert Taft of Ohio. He opposed the new deal and many government programs sponsored by FDR.
He believed the interventionist foreign policies that NATO formed were unnecessary and would invoke our foreign enemies to do worse and more powerful damage to the rest of the world.
Cenk you've never been serious - only Ron Paul is serious about defense spending - in the real world he's the only one who'd do the right thing - Ron Paul as president couldn't do much, he'd have hella resistance from the politicos - but he'd make it a lot harder to increase spending, and the bank bailouts wouldn't have happened.
I am still surprised by the view that he is 'kowtowing' to Republicans trying to be bi-partisan. Just look at who has lined Obama's pockets to see he's just another slick politician doing the bidding of his masters who made him a wealthy man. Just like Blaggo, he's a politician from the Chicago sausage-making machine, selling himself to the jighest bidder.
What's insane is that, despite all Obama's cowtowing to the crazy Republicans, they still hate his guts! He's trying to play the center game but it's not working. Instead of everyone sort of liking him, the conservatives still hate him and always will, and now progressives (like me) hate him too. The only people that still like Obama are poor, uneducated peopled who don't read the papers or really follow what's going on in the world. And, unfortunately for him, these people aren't big voters.
Ugh! Listening to him use the hatchet analogy over and over is like watching a comedian recycle jokes - it stops being funny and automatically makes me suspicious that he's getting his lines from someone else.
wow THE TURKS straying from their SAVIOR ! IF a democrat fails call him a REPUBLICAN and then nominate another democrat that will fail ! makes PERFECT SENSE ! obama in case everyone didn't already know it is TRUE to africa and his people at the EXPENSE of the rest of EVERYONE ELSE ! next on the agenda ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION REFORM ! LMAO !
he did it for his buddies to make money for them and his family..the Bush family has investments that reaped in massive profits due to the war..he like all the others he represents are all about money and power for their benefit..the people are just there to be used
I'm not saying they would and it doesn't matter anyway they didn't stand a chance, but all these morons who voted for him because they thought he was magic or something...god I hate this country
You are absolutely right. I just wish Obama actually delivered on his promises I went to his campaign rallies and voted for him. He's changed I think he has tried to hard to reach out and befriend the god DAMN conservatives to much. He needs to go more progressive. GO BLUE. PEACE MAN. x_X
".....McCain and the dumbest woman in the World would be doing MUCH better."
yup she sure is!!,...a University grad, a mother and homemaker while being Governor of a State with 87% approval rating, AND at the same time still managed to run 6 miles per day and hunt moose!
Katie didn't think much of her because she couldn't find time to read the kind of left wing shit magazines elite Eastern bitches like
go look in a mirror to see the most stupid person in the world, Okie Dokie???
Some of us voted for Obama because we had to choose between him and a Palin train-wreck. As much as I've grown to despise Obama, I'd vote for him any day over that crazy bitch. My criticism with Obama is that he's doing nothing and changing nothing. Palin and Co., on the other hand, would be doing a lot and changing a lot -- just not in the direction that helps.
Obama and bush should have been impeached for giving so much fucking money to those snake banks. What the fuck were they thinking? LET THE BANKS FAIL!

He took advantage of the American peoples hope for change only to advance himself. I just hope we as a people don't fall for his type of 'snake oil' charm again,

redrocker1055 2 years ago
The truth is that McCain was more qualified to handle the economy then the inexperienced lying Obama.
willsbanana 2 years ago
But that's the thing.
The Pres. does not handle the economy. His job is to pick people who can. A Pres. is not required to hold undergraduate degrees in all gov matters.
Only to identify the will of the people and needs of the country and pick the best people.
McCain would have without a doubt picked the same people. If Obama picked up Bushes guys, you don't think his successor with the same economic policies would? Exactly.
This is the establishment in play. Not any 'lack of experience'.

It is utterly ridiculous, the USA spends more than $100 billion more on its armed forces than all of the other top ten biggest spending countries put together!
A $100 billion more, than them all combined!
No other country even spends $100 billion!

Here's the thing DaytonaRoadster, do you honestly think that because the USA spends more than $100 billion more than the next ten top spenders combined, it could win a war against China, France, The United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, Japan, Italy, Saudi Arabia and India all at once? Because baring in mind all of these countries put together spend less.
Obviously this situation will never happen, but I think that the figures show that the USA is paying WAY WAY WAY too much on its military.
ransomdave 2 years ago 2
Hold on... its a lot more than $100billion, wanna check those numbers....
CmdrTobs 2 years ago
No it's not... The USA spends $607 billion, while the next rest of the top ten spend $476.4 billion combined. Therefore the USA spends "more than $100 billion more".
The next biggest spender is China with $84.9 billion.

People vote by freely deciding where to spend their own money.
Capitalism is individual voluntary exchange. The one way to become successful in this economic system is to satisfy the needs and wants of people since it is a voluntary system.
Socialism is about force. Success is only achieved by mutual corruption with politicians, since govn't controls a greater amount of the contracts.
Socialism is obama forcing taxes upon you. Then solely dictating where it will be spent to pander for votes

I am still surprised by the view that he is 'kowtowing' to Republicans trying to be bi-partisan.

The only people that still like Obama are poor, uneducated peopled who don't read the papers or really follow what's going on in the world. And, unfortunately for him, these people aren't big voters.
