  • People say a lot of things when they're running for president.

  • The moral: Cenk really is as dumb as he looks and sounds.

  • Obama bush same shit diffrent ass. Both puppets for the nwo

  • We will all be having to work to save our sanity and our nation, no matter what party affiliation: Unless we all want to live on Animal Farm, where others tell us what to do, eat, say, work, and how and where to live. And much more. Folks, time to wake up and think as one nation, not many! You only get one chance to make that right, lest infiltrators come in and take it all! And they will not care which party we are, they will take it from all of us!

  • Aw Cenk you've came so far since then (he hates him now and calls him a Republican).

  • @cchanderson Cenk doesn't hate Obama, he's just frustrated that Obama continues to cave into the Republicans demands.

  • This is what America is supposed to be.

  • hm, and what happened?

  • 0:38 - I hear the "Remember the Titans" music...Trevor Rabin beats Obama any day.

  • Depressing to watch this now.

  • your rock cenk....i watch you everyday. We love you. your the best

  • This is what hope is all about. Getting people excited about stuff they weren't in the past... and it only lasted a few months. Cheers.

  • BUSH IS A F**** PRICK .... im wondering why hes not in gail ...

  • "light bulbs goin off-on-off-on..."

  • Well, 2 years later, that populism is gone and Obama has become an archtypal politician. Some times I feel discouraged....

  • which obama speech is this?

  • Barak Obama's Health Care Attempt.... Do you believe in this gov's bill? See my utube channel and Discover exactly why Y0UR thoughts are needed !!

  • dems...cons...libs...anarchist­. we r all srewed.

  • Wow! Cenk can be duped easily. Govt. won't work for the rich? Look what he has done in 6 months. Trillion dollar bailouts for mega corporations like AIG, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup, while the average men were losing their job and homes. Moreover, these same regular men will pay for the rich in additional taxes. More war expenditure to make companies like Blackwater, Haliburton even richer, while a million civilians die in Iraq. You have no CHOICE. You have OWNERS. The game is rigged.

  • Sadly true

  • Cool, very enlightening, now prove it.

    I don't mean give me opinions, I wanna see the information and numbers and ACTUAL news, not rumours, probabilities or anything vague like that...GO!

  • To learn how he has extended Bush's foreign policies, YouTube search "Jeremy Scahill exposes Blackwater and Obama Administration". Also, check out Cenk's new video "Obama is not a Leader". Check out "The Obama Deception". Sure it has exaggerations but lot of undeniable facts too. Good luck with your research, because you will need to put in a few hours to get the alternate view that hasn't been projected by the media (apart from Fox disinformation).

  • Oh great, thanks for pointing out videos about people....I asked for facts...your "sources" easily fall as propaganda. Especially the Obama Deception, who is made by people that are trying to cash in on controversy or are just plain bored, seeing as how all they do is find "controversy" with EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. I mean, I have yet to see a video that doesn't generalize a situation so easily...every side is so fucking biased...it fucking sucks.

  • Question. Why are civilians dying in the first place in Iraq? Why were people losing their jobs and homes in the first place? Why were bailouts needed in the first place? Have you been blind for 8 years?

  • Haha i hear the "remember the titans" soundtrack in the background.

  • Barack Obama can speak, but where is the work he promised?

  • ...And How Long Has He Been President ?

  • You were right then and your right now, that's why I trust Cenk.

  • cenk your the best

  • man you call yourselves patriots serving for our country?!?!?!?! wishing for a president to fail is the most ignorant thing you can do....really. if he fails well end up in a huuuuuggge hole and china will come in and call their tabs with us and well officially become china.....thats that. but if he succeeds in giving us heathcare that we can afford??? and gets people back to work??????? really thats bad huh....how dare he try to get us healthy and financially stable...how fucking dare he!!!!!!!

  • WE LOVE YA CENK

  • Dear Nazi, shut up.  Drink more Seigu.

  • 61% of obamas campaign funds came from israeli, zionist "donations". Hes a puppet.

    Educated People is an oxymoron. The people are clueless and incapable of thinking for themselves.

  • 61 percent of stats are made up by losers on the net....

  • Dear infant, grow up. Drink more starbucks.

  • Who is this clown?

  • Hes a good guy give him a chance.

  • Comment removed

  • OHhh, well I should have read your name, how could a Bill Maher fan not have some sense.

  • The choice was arbitrary, idiot.

  • you know I used to think the same thing until I realized that if he didn't fail, that would mean that all of his socialist tendencies would succeed. While I do agree that my fellow servicemen and women need to come home and deserve a much needed rest, President Obama's closing of Guantanamo and his continuous apologies for America's arrogance have not only been looked upon as a slap in the face of service men and women, but as a weakness, which will most definitely be exploited

  • But these are just my thoughts, I am sure on this page these views will not be shared. Although I am not supporter of President Obama, I, as a member of the U.S. Army, respect him as my boss, for his accomplishments, and as my president. I do however wish for him to fail.

  • remember that if he fails basicaly the country fails with him, and just to let u know he is trying to get the trops back home as soon as possible, and unles u want to have more lives and money wasted in the most stupidest way u would want him to succed

  • People who wish for Obama to fail don't deserve to enjoy the benefits of this country. Simple as that.

  • while I admire his vigor and passion in a very historic moment, his over zealous attitude which is evident by his comments, was rather ridiculous and completely off point. His usage of the phrase

    "good and evil" (evil to describe the Republican party) was completely out of line, his disrespectful attitude towards Sen. John McCain was embarrassing, and his angelic description of President of President Obama made me sick.

  • this guy is a complete joke

  • It would appear to me that you are an absolute authority on "Complete Jokes". After all, you seem to speak from a personal connection.

  • The thing is about all this is that Cenk is purely motivated by emotion here, which is Obama's ploy. He has not kept any of his promises from his campaign. But, his opinion polls are high because he is charismatic. He's like one of those old snake oil salesmen. I feel bad for how deceived you are. There is so much to say here that I can't even say it all. 1.)Tax cuts for Millions! or for 5 %?!---which one would be better economically. the 5%. It will create jobs.

  • actually his tax cut plan passed.

    stem cell research

    his budget also passed.

    foreign diplomacy is being fixed

    so, so far he's doing a good job keeping his promises.

    pay attention and turn faux news off. why do you think the republicans are sso mad. because he is keeping his promises

  • And since when is genuine emotion in politics or a politician such a bad thing? Aren't republicans suppose to love America?

    Obama's fixing of foreign policy around the world so far has been his biggest accomplishment, which of course means it is never focused on.

  • There is only a VS. if you want it there.

  • Your the man Cenk baby!

  • trickle down economics don't work. proof last 8 years.

  • We didn't have trickle down economics for the last eight years.  Bush wasn't a conservative. There is a difference between a conservative and a republican.

  • come on. trickle down economics is basically give the rich and rich businesses huge tax cuts in "hopes" that it will trickle down.

    bush definitely gave the rich huge tax cuts. they just didn't work because, trickle down economics relies on the rich not being greedy.

  • I'd call it Social Democratic, and it *does* work.

  • Hi Ana:)

  • palin was as dumb as shit, a typical brainless republican choice, hilarious she's seriously thinking about standing in 2012, walkover for obama's second term I think :)

  • CENK IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • We at least have the hope that Obama will turn out to be the real deal: someone good, someone unifying, someone inclusive. McCain has shown he is not.

  • The fact that you don't know what "kool-aid drinkers" means convinces me that there are still people out there with no intellect. It has nothing to do with race. "Drinking the kool-aid" is a commonly used term derived from the James Jones massacre when his over-zealous and maniacal followers commited mass suicide by drinking drug-laced Kool-aid. It signifies people who irrationally lock onto an empty ideology without first using reason.

    Your a racist piece of shit!

  • Wonderful cenk. Thanks for your heartfelt response!

  • Go Cenk!

  • Thank you for your heartfelt analysis of Obama's speech. As I am an Obama supporter I appreciate your thoughts about him and I am proud that I am supporting him thru.Nov. 4. Vote Obama08.

  • thank you cenk for the wonderful post

  • your boy mccain donated $500,000 to khalidi...

  • Obama is my homeboy! We are going all the way in 2008.

  • I relly feel sorry for you. I wish I could see what you like. It's ok if you don't like Obama, but please be just a little human and use reason and common sense. Did you even listen to the speach? No, you were probably distracted by HATE, HATE and HATE. listen, the train is moving, you'd be better off getting on board because you can't stop it.

  • Nice job on the prediction asshole!

    Sarah Palin=EPIC FAIL

  • Eat those words asshole, Obama WON!

  • It was awesome to be there with you guys--online that is!!

  • Thanks for posting this :D

  • Thank you for posting. I loved Sen. Obama's speech too.

  • Great Job YT

    Obama/Biden 08

  • That was good YT, good job!!!And what an inspired speech by Obama?? He has my vote!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love TYT !

  • Good stuff Cenk. The speech was superb. As long as people stop believing these brainwashed automatons (Fox News. etc.) trying to sew the seeds of doubt into the minds of the electorate regarding Obama and his abilities, Barack will be the next President of the United States.

  • Obama--specific, pointed, throrough. McSame just wraps himself in the flag and says the opposite of what he really will do.

  • Trickle-Down economics didn't work for Reagan, Bush I, or Bush II! Try as you might "voodoo economics" never has worked!

  • McCain would continue Bush's economic policies that do NOT work. Look at our economy now. Our economy sucks! Every time our economy tanks, a Repubican is President! Herbert Hoover - Great Depression Dwight Eisenhower - 1957 Recession Richard Nixon - 1971 Recession Gerald Ford - stagflation in 1973 Ronald Reagan - "Black Monday," Oct. 19, 1987 George H. W. Bush - 1991 Recession George W. Bush - right now! We deserve a change. Vote Barack Obama.
  • enferno00, I love your post, I will add it to my channel if you don't like it, let me know, and I will remove it on request.

  • In case you haven't noticed you idiot, Obama is running for president against McCain not Palin you fool. She will be contesting Joe Biden who's Obama's VP. Palin has no foreign policy experience and will be eaten alive by Joe Biden. John McCain just shot himself in the foot - big time.

  • more experience governing a state populated by less people than this country's 17th largest city? experience at getting into bed with big business? she can't even be straight up in giving her own daughter some simple sex education; she can't even govern her own house

  • i wonder how many fake hillary suporter are out thier that are really republicans trying to cause truoble.

  • Obama looked golden! Yes he is.

  • Sponsors by the Republican Party.

  • if you want to talk about lieing about stances....look at McCains adds for me please, then re-post what you just said and call yourself logical...

  • OBAMA #08

    CHANGE is evidenT, if you onlY believe..

    :))

  • lol, cenk, good seeing you genuinely excited and happy about a political event!

  • is he about to cry? lmao

  • McCain is the epitome of the old crap rich get richer mentality. Fuck, he is a 72 year old very rich white guy.

  • Wow have you fallen for the BS! Barack voted for the Patriot act, for the refunding of the war, for the wiretapping bill. He wants to spend another 50 billion on a stimulus package, send troops to Afghanistan, create another government bureaucracy for health care. His policies will add 3 TRILLION to the nation debt after 2 terms (he does not address the 10 trillion dollar federal debt at all). He has no plan to address the 60 TRILLION in liabilities for the entitlement programs.

  • Truly Inspirational...OBAMA / BIDEN 08!!!

  • Idiots who rant about CFR, are stupid as hell. It was RON PAULS JOB to pull independents from the Democratic base. Thats what the CFR bullshit is.  Republican propaganda for conspiracy theorists.

  • The speech was inspiring. But I need to know about his cabinet before I can make a final choice. I need to know who he will pick for DOJ above all. I think I can pretty much predict who McCain would choose, the type of person anyway. But with Obama, there is still much more to learn about him before Nov and I'll be watching.

  • CNN had a complete show on the Fed, and the deregulations which were done in the last Democratic Administration, and how those pre bubble moves created the economy we are now eating. It takes 5 to 10 years for an economy to catch up! So, you cannot blame one person. It is cumulative - Clinton actually cut our national defense so we were more vulnerable, and then the next guy inherited a mess. McCain has a true record of working with both sides. Senator Obama has speeches!

  • so now we should pick McCain and his assclown pick? I dont think so.

  • Cumulative huh? REALLY? never woulda guessed considering the amount of money and the amount of disasterous policys that bush has used to destroy this countries economy single-handedly.....if you blame any of the economoic failures on clinton...well...you REALLY need to study your side a bit more hes(bush) marred this country reputation completely and totally not just here, but throughout the whole world, enviornmental health is bust, economy is bust, and foriegn affairs is uber-bust, nuff said

  • Try studying macro/micro economics and see that it takes 5 to 10 years for impacts to hit the general population. Try researching Greenspan, as CNN did, and see the affects of each group.Try looking at how vulnerable our national security cuts made us so Bush inherited the terror messes and got blamed for things set in motion way before him. Try being grateful that Bush kept your country safe for 8 years so you could be free to bash him!

  • hah....right...grateful that the rest of the world freaking hates our guts right now, and from the people who want to "take" or freedom, who the fuck wanted to "take" our freedom precisely? im pretty sure right now its the republican right and the people who are in congress who are kissing the collective ass of the republican right are continuing these shitty policies and making the "free" america people talk about being even LESS "free" bush and mccain are just so out of it its ludicrous,

  • you are one of those brainwashed idiot

  • hmmm Obama's whole saying is "Yes We Can" hmm how many times have we heard that. Way too many than I can count. Ya Bush screwed up with iraq but what president wouldn't go into iraq after 9-11. And what president wouldn't stay there if gas prices were sky high. All I'm saying is that this guy says "Yes We Can." When are country is really ran by the Congress. His saying should be "Yes I might be able to do some of that."

  • Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. you're thinking of Afghanistan.

    Iraq was about alleged Weapons of Mass Destruction - ones which still haven't been found.

  • What a speech! It's so fantastic having a cross eyed idiot telling us how this is the future of America! Let's see Obama off the tele-prompters!

    Let's see your ratings! Let's just see what America really wants!!

  • even though its funny you have to say something like cross eyed idiot when you want to diss obama since you cant really come up with anything bad that was actually true, even if obama had one leg, a scar across the face and no arms, i would always prefer him over a mac cain figure that lives to hold up his own wealth and power.

  • 90k losers in one spot? That's amazing, but not so unbelievable any longer! Young Turkeys are nothing. No ratings, do nothing nobodies!

  • I appreciate the coverage and analysis from The Young Turks. Hearing that those TV guys had their backs to the stage and did not lay witness to history is not surprising. That's downtime for those guys when they can get their faces powdered and hair sprayed.

  • all right, all right, all right calm down Cenk!

    Thank the president for Obama's rise.

  • I loved seeing people of ALL colors, nationalities, partying together - all in one accord. Brought tears to my eyes, and joy to my heart. Wish I was there, man!

  • .. between Good and Evil!! yeah!!

  • ... as is anyone who can see the wave coming.

  • Yea i know im surprised he cant smell his Bull"Shit" LOL

    BALDWIN 08

    MCKINNEY 08

    LOCH NESS MONSTER 08...any1 will be better than these to CFR Globalist

  • too bad congress is so corrupt that obama will never have a chance.

    :)

  • By that logic Ron Paul wouldn't have a chance either if he was still running.

  • you're drunk on politics, dude. no offense, but HRC can't pull inspiration out of her butt. you're gleaning the energy of 70k peeps - not anything this lady saying. you're totally buzzed. but that's okay.

  • 90k actually...

  • I wish we lived in revolutionary times SOOOO MUCH.

    And the real funny thing is that we do BUT we have been blinded and stupefied for so long that all even the smartest of us can do is point out the idiocy of the blame game. I place 100% of the fault for this on the traitorous media. The heads of corporate media deserve televised executions.

    I wish Ron Paul had a real chance.

    BUT of the two "choices" Obama has to be the better one.

    For the neocons MUST BE STOPPED by any means neccessary.

  • yeah i know.

    i dont trust either parties. And you can proably quess who i will vote for.

    All I'm saying is that i hold far less disdain in my heart for someone who chooses to play the numbers game and votes for Obama then someone who votes for McSame.

  • McCain's VP pick is unqualified. Why didn't he choose Meg Whitman or Carly Fiorina.

    This women is dangerous. I am not voting for this shit show.

  • Good for you!

  • January 20, 2009 will be the beginning of at last 12 years...with a Democrat in The White House!

    The President is a servant of the People. We haven't had one for the past 8 years. W serves himself and pisses on everyone else.

  • LETS GIVE THE FUTURE A SHOT!!!

  • If the Democrats can acomplish just 20 percent of what they promise, then the US, the western alliance and the world will be well served.

    If McCain can accomplish just 20 percent of what he promises... we all can go to sleep for the next four years and keep waiting for solutions.

  • But who is going to pay for all of the rhetoric that was espoused. And did bashing every other word at McCain, really give a true picture of reality. Most of the things said against McCain were totally inaccurate. Clinton deregulated, and cut national security by 25%, and the next Pres. had to inherit that mess, since finances and economics come 5 to 10 years after put into play. Hello - earth to warm fuzzies!!!!!

  • Most of the deregulation under Clinton happened because there was a Republican house and senate that believed government was incompetent and tried to privatize everything. Clinton didn't simply cut national security, he just didn't get us into a war where we are dumping our money into an enormous black hole. I think most of Obama's message against McCain was simply saying that things are going badly now under Bush and McCain wants to keep that going, is that what you want for the next 4 years?

  • Clinton caused the deregulation. And Clinton cut the budgets to the point of vulnerability. Further by ignoring the prior terror attacks, he opened the door for the results later. This was all put in place before Bush even took over.

  • As a US Senator, Obama will be criticized on every vote he makes and he's not trying to take more criticism as "anti-patriotic." That's our system. You haven't heard one good reason to vote for Obama, but I'll give you two: He's our best chance of getting out of Iraq and he's not going to push the same agenda that Bush had for the last 8 years of giving everything to the corporations and leaving everybody else to fend for themselves in a country where prosperity is only available to the elites.

  • That is the problem, they were lies and anti McCain bashing, when no substance was given, just typical Dem rhetoric, without backing. Obama's record in Senate does not really exist. McCain has proven votes over the years and things done with both parties - Whether you agree with him or not, he was and is a maverick and has accomplished much to help us all. Not just bashing and talk, but real actions. Obama missed an opportunity to deliver real substance - the steak instead of the sizzle!!!!

  • Well, I guess the top 5% are going to pay for it. You know, the ones with 7 houses. Obama said he has the budget laid out on his website. Why didn't you hear that? Why can't you just go read his platform and learn a little about him? I understand, like most you made up your mind long ago. Oh well, after the 2nd great depression democrats will be back in just like the first. Might as well make the most of what little we got left.

  • Man crush!!

  • Bama Bama

  • yeh but do you believe our votes count?

  • Cenk is right - was that nebulous "middle-America" watching and feeling this and thinking about what is at stake? They are the ones (unfortunately) ALWAYS decide elections. They floated from Nixon to Carter, Carter to Reagan, Papa Bush to Clinton to Baby Bush.

    I can't believe that after these last 8 years that they won't float back to Obama. But who the fuck knows?

  • Good Goddess! McCain has nominated The Flying Nun who had a daughter that she named "Willow"!

  • : ) Cenk and TYT, you guys get an A+

  • obama 08 hands down

  • OBAMA O8!!!

  • lets be honest the neo conservetive camp got elected (only just if you remember)because of the infidelities of clinton which the self rightous right used to their advantage.good economic growth,great foreign relations improved health and education wasn`t enough to elect a very intelligent and effective man but sadely lack luster.thank god for a candidate that has all 3 and more-

  • How is Obama supposed to help this country when he won't help his brother out who lives off of $1 a month?

  • U rock u young turk u.

  • JOB WELL DONE TURKS!!!!

  • obamas a fascist

    mccains a fascist

    nader is not a fascist

    vote for who you actually want, not someone whos gonna fuck u n the ass

  • Zippy, obviously you went to the school of resentment. Wake up, man, and stop working for McSame.

  • i hate mccain. but its not like its the lesser of two evils! we can still vote for nader. we need to show how we the people still have a voice.

  • Zlippy, u can vote for whomever u want, true. Yet the reality is that if you vote for an unpopular candidate, it's throwing away a vote, and making it possible for the axis of evil to win. McInsane must lose, and I think Obama is great, not the lesser of slim pickins. Be a player, make your voice count, and the US can be healed.

  • Obama's speech drew 38 million viewers. 38 million!!! This just shows how hungry people are for change. It's unfortunate that a lot of people are not going to vote for him because he is black.This country is ready for change. Martin Luther King jr. proved that by bringing all races together. Now Barack Obama is doing the same thing. God loves everyone.."for God loved the world he gave his only son" Peace to all.

  • Poor Neo-conservative Republicunt dumbfucks continue to sell the illusion that this country can be saved by dismantling it piece by piece.

    Thanks to the failed. misguided policies of the Bush/Cheney/Rove Republicunt Neo-conservative regime, this countyr was already taken over and sold long ago to the highest bidder, intact...

  • I really do believe that God is one Obama's side.. that's why he does have that messiah like effect on people. As much as Republicans talk abt God, God is not on their side this time. Obama for the people! Good vs. evil- tear down the evil Obama!!

  • Obama bashed the Bible and God is on neither side. God doesn't care about politics.

  • Can you please, please, PLEASE explain where Obama "bashed" the Bible?

  • youtube. com/watch?v=J6oh4gL51U4

    minus the space

  • You need totake the blue pill to hear the hidden messages. Go on, take it, life is sweet in the Matrix.
