Barack Obama & Alan Keyes debate health care & free trade

[cunttaster]

@jerzy862 you r nut case.This guy Keyes is so much smarter than this guy Obama. The media wanted Obama for Senate.

[jerzy862]

Keyes sounds like Kermit the frog

[StrengthFromAbove83]

Food as medicine! What a novel idea! lol Alan Keyes is right on the money. Obama is a socialist (as he admits in his books).

[pikaparka1]

Keyes is a real smart black american...obama..not

[MsSchwarzerrabe]

obama is a theater chick

[yeshiva83]

He gestures bizarrely.

[MrBinieam]

Alan keyes by far the winner.

[NWO20122012]

Obama is a lying snake. Habitual liar.

[Misguidedism]

hey people, what we hear in the video and what he is actually saying are not the same audio has been put over the top, watch his lips people!

[shotsky94]

@goatface1000 That's a very fitting name you have there

[capleton48]

Obummer sounds like a complete idiot next to Keyes

[goatface1000]

This man Keyes is a total moron. He exploits the novelty value of being a black right winger for self publicity. Obama destroyed him in this debate. Why? Because he was right and Keyes was wrong. In Britain we have a National Health Service it is not perfect but at least our people have access to health care. Keyes is awful.

[Mr1700]

i like keyes last statement. wow i despised the man but i like what he said but he still sucks.

[deadleviathan]

@Mr1700 "he's smart and has good ideas and knows what he's talking about! but he sucks!" fuck off.

[Mr1700]

@deadleviathan i liked his last statement not that other bull he talking about

[Sereniama]

Alan Keyes is a joke.

I hope he dies of a horrible death.

[pinkhousemob]

@Sereniama Keyes is a genius. You must be an idiot

[gombis666]

Is Keyes Italian? He talks with his hands A LOT!

[blackgobble]

Alan Keyes manipulates what Obama's saying. He completely bipasses the idea that in a situation where an individual cannot afford necessary healthcare there is no fallback. How can people honestly say that we should deny people the right of healthcare? Why not have an NHS like in Britain? Its complete nonsense that free health care is inadequate health care and the only benefactors are "lazy ass fuckers" Complete tripe.

[Southernjuggalo63]

OBAMA GETS OWNED ON THIS VIDEO ALAN KEYES FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!

[NHTPC]

Where is the part where Keyes says "You're not even a natural born citizen" and Obama replies,"So what, I'm not running for president". PS - generics make me sick

[thewarwicktube]

Man Keyes knows how to spin that Harvard talk.

[capleton48]

Keyes make Barry look DUMB AGAIN

[nhl444life]

keyes owned obama lol

[d2eux]

I would vote for Alan Keyes over Obama any day

[Mage13246]

I think we made a bad choice getting McCain to be our rep for 2008. Alan Keyes smacked Obama around like a brainless owl.

[FREEDOMLVR7]

He really did! Keyes is much smarter and FAR more principled (doesn't take much) Typical liberal response Obama gives..some propaganda story that probably wasnt real.

[abinniss]

keys already lost to obama in this senate race.

[csasba]

Damn, smacked you like a b itch Alan Keys.

[IAMLEGEND391]

AAAAAAAA

[clevebrowns3]

Well obviously Alan Keyes knows little about how economics works. If our country doesn't allow free trade all in the name of protecting American jobs, then it becomes a hidden tax. The American people will have that much less purchasing power because they will have to pay x amount of dollars more for the same product.

[geezmann3]

how can you get the prescription the guy was talking about iff your not covered ? wow peoplee people

[ulpdy0]

•The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775 You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.

•Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.

•Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.

•War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.

[hoodoo961]

Social Security...broke? Are you fucking kidding me? Social Security brings in a massive surplus to the federal budget every year and is for many seniors the only stable source of income they have.

[MB3Productions]

@ulpdy0 : Amen!!!!

[ulpdy0]

•Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.

•Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.

•The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

[Tippercanoe]

The private health care system has been around for just as long. It is not right. Enron was a private corporation. Disaster. General Motors are private corporations. Not right. The Postal Service may be broke, but most people get their mail for cheap delivered to them daily. The Social Security system needs improvement but most people know they have some security blanket and have known it for 74 years. Private entities also fail, and they gouge you in the process.

[RollTideBig12]

Fuck you

[MMGJ10]

@ulpdy0 This sums it up sooo well. Nice posts!

[ulpdy0]

You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??

[xxashyy]

You forgot the disastrous public school system.

[Tippercanoe]

you can check books out of libaries. Take kids ot community hospitals. Most planes do not fall out of the sky. You have an intricate interstate system. Your meat is not poisoned even though it comes from all over hte world. Your kid can't go to work at age 9. Pipelines get built with safety requirements. Money is printed everyday. Millions of people get thier medicare checks and social sec. on a monthly basis. Govt is not perfect. But is also an essential part of a civilized society.

[daddeo01905]

Alan Keyes makes a good point about imported goods, but it seems like it is off topic.

[SouthernFriedGood]

Looking for part of this campaign where they debated and the natural born status of BHO came up. Do you have it?

[nhteaparty]

I am looking for this too! This will be a blockbuster if found.

[09geauxtigers]

Alan Keyes is the man. He is awesome and would have been a better Senator for Illinois over Hussein!!!

[starVol]

These liberals always accuse us of disliking Obama because he is black (which is not true) but Allan Keyes would have made a far better President!

[carowallace]

I am starting communists for Alan Keyes.

[ACEBAKER911]

This Lightweight and empty suit Hussein Obama is so Phony and is such a pure political Opportunist that its Embarrassing.

Obama is Never specific on Anything, his entire campaign was 1 slogan, which by the way was Childish and Asinine

HOPE AND CHANGE

thats tailor made for High school drop outs who have NO clue about what this country stands for and was founded on

Obama is a Joke, there was never anything new or different about him, Just another  selfish Political Parasite

[1776rep]

Alan keyes is allways right on the mark

[toomuchwow247]

Go alan keyes! Hes great with domestic policy, he just sucks with foregn. If i want to get Private health care, because i'm white and I have money, i should be able to do so. Free health care is SHIT quality, take a look at Britain and Canada. Plus why should i give my tax money so a bunch of illegal immigrants should get free health care AND welfare? AND THEIR KIDS GET CITIZENSHIP? Its stupid.

[masaa121]

What is it about healthcare that bugs you? You are using an example of Britain, but as a Brit, i can tell you that free health care is invaluable to the poor. And by the way, it's not poor quality unless you're comparing it to American medicine where I believe doctors even construct diagnosis just to cash in. In UK,those who can afford private medical care have the option of going private, so if youre rich, why don't you just pay your way and let the poor majority benefit? It's not rocketscience

[Reagansmash123456789]

Great. That's a fine idea. Just the only thing im worried about is being stuck with the bullshit, shitty quality health care, and not being able to pay for my own, decent quality health care. But if u can make a plan in which we can afford health care like that, thats decent quality that pays for everybody that diserves it, be my guest.

[BaineB43]

*PC ALERT*

the point of my reply was 2 say that every 1 pays for free (i.e., inadequate) health care, especially the poor. everybody has to buy health insurance because doctors are evil, greedy capitalist pigs who dont care. but democrats CARE. HillaryCAREs. & that's why democrats are known for being so thrifty. Al Gore only owns 3 homes & 1 gulfstream, & Obama only eats $100-per-pound beef on special occasions. why? because they CARE

(or should I say "CAIR"?)

[MMGJ10]

@BaineB43 "Democrats are known for being so thrifty" BAWAHAHAHAHA!!!! YOU ARE A BRAINWASHED IGNORANT LEFTIST DIPSHIT!!! I have never eatin $20 a pound beef let alone $100! "Because they care" --FUCK YOU!!! MORON!

[Miketothejones]

How the fuck do we get free health care??

only lazy ass mother fuckers get the health care

and us working people have to pay for them lazy mother fuckers!!!!!

[BaineB43]

we've been addressing the cost of health care since 1965. the more we address the problem, the worse it gets. health care costs rise from 5% to 15% GDP

now, as the feds pour $100's of billions into a bottomless abyss, the private sector has pledged to cut $2T in health care spending

Q: wtf does health care spending do, if not PROVIDE HEALTH CARE???? if they cut $2T in spending, aren't they cutting $2T worth of health care?

[acmna]

@BaineB43 One of the ballooning cost of healthcare is due to government interference. If it weren't for the money that insurance companies and government pump into the healthcare system, the cost of healthcare would be much lower. I'll use an analogy, if your at an auction and everyone is bidding on a good, then someone comes along and each gives you 1,000 dollars, will you start bidding the same amount, or jack the price up higher?

[StrengthFromAbove83]

@BaineB43 short answer. no. People need to learn to save their money for emergencies. It is YOUR responsibility to take care of yourself, not the government's.

[IamNethaj]

@StrengthFromAbove83 Even though your idea aligns along with my personal beliefs, I don't think the government cannot just wash its hands off that easily. I think this is a matter we should question ourselves about what kind of a government we want in our country.

Hobbs and Locke might help us a bit in defining that.

[Southernjuggalo63]

@Miketothejones excatly my friend liberals are ruining this country period!!!

[wrathofme03]

@Miketothejones some people work but are still too poor for heatlh care you dumb ass. Actually a lot of people. The deficit would be greatly reduced with a single payer system.

[SamuraiPhalanx]

And you thought Bush rigged the election? I dont support that ass clown either but hello! if Bush could do it what would keep a diabolical scumbag like obama from rigging it?

Do we really have such a low amount of faith in our fellow Americans?

[sjfmeyers67]

impeech obama. before the american people impeech washington!~

[silasdogood9]

Taffy...,

I do, and I do a radio segment. We joke about Keyes, Steele, Obama, Palin, McCain, and others. You might even be a listener if you're driving thru metro atlanta ga. The "key" (pardon my pun) is not to take this stuff so seriously on a personal level! LOL

[pimadave]

DEPORT OBAMA!!!!!!!!!

[DCOPE5]

AMEN

[BeantownJim]

obama is a eusefer (pardon my spelling)

[silasdogood9]

When you look at, and listen to, these two men it is clear who is the winner--Obama. Keys is not a good speaker and is too ugly to be taken seriously. His tirades remind me of what William Lynch achieved by dividing the House "N's" and the yard "N's" during slavery.

[shiiamnot]

Agreed! It never ceases to amaze me how sooooo many people have soooo much mouth after someone beats them! Sour grapes from Keyes is all I'm hearing!

[azcardzfan2005]

just who the hell is obama??? he went to pakistan in 1981 when it was illegal for a u.s. citizen to do so. he went to a indonesian madrassa under the name of barry sortero? why the f did the people of illinois and the u.s electorate elect this guy?

[zenlez]

Although Alan Keyes does make some good points i.e. his references to import of cheaper goods as "slave goods" (a statement at odds with true believers in "free markets") , he is is an out of touch, desperate ideologue who talks out of both sides of his mouth.

[maidenman69]

Alan Keyes' intellect is far superior to Obama and most politicians. He is also utterly politically incorrect, and says a lot of things that don't get you elected.

[tooosweeet]

Obama is an empty suite, clearly out of his league facing Alan Keyes. All he knows is campaign rhetoric.

[daaamatt]

Does Obama always agree with the person he debates?

[BaineB43]

The comments on this video are interesting. It seems like viewers almost unanimously agree that Alan Keyes won the debate, at least from this short clip. So my question is, how is it possible that Obama unanimously lost the debte and unanimously won the election?

[MMGJ10]

@BaineB43 THATS SIMPLE! It's Illinios, it's Chicago, poor, stupid people in the inner citys Think that Dems are helping them. They are apparently too lazy to open their own eyes and look around at what the Democrats HAVE DONE TO THEM FOR DECADES!!! SO THEY JUST GO VOTE FOR MORE OF THE SAME! Because PEOPLE ARE STUPID.  They do not pay any attention to anything. Keyes would rip apart Obama in any debate.

[MMGJ10]

@BaineB43 If Jesus Christ ran as a Republican and Hitler ran as a Democrat in Chicago, Hitler would win in a landslide!! And all the ignorant leftist scum in Chicago would support Hitler, and call Jesus a FASCIST! Thats why Baine, Democrats are ignorant, they are the party of the ignorant.

[Sereniama]

@MMGJ10 Nice, Hitler, Obama comparisons.

Do me a favor, go die asshole.

[NHTPC]

@BaineB43 Because he has George Soros and David Rockfeller, evil globalist nazis, behind him?

[Theeriuth]

@BaineB43 Because people are stupid

[iamdabest245]

he said at the beginning free health care accounts?? then how is it free, someone has to pay for it. those people who pay for it are tax payers

[tooliscool23]

yeah, obama looks hungover, spent or like he doesn't care, Obama got owned

[2connection]

Obama is a total Lightweight and Phony slick speaker with NO substance behind any of the hollow words

[tbed63]

Barack thinks the government can solve our problems...just like they've solved, hmmmm, let me think, just like they've really helped me to... well, never mind.

When Obama speaks, ask yourself this question: Who is "we?"

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out which of these two men has the superior intelligence.

[jeremiah2294]

Excuse me the gas in Denmark ays for reserch into other types of fules and the 25% of income tax pays for your free health care

[jeremiah2294]

This is the stupides thing I have ever herd, look at canada if you have cancer you have to wait 5 mouths to get into the free health care clinc and most time just die, people with money come to the US. There is no such thing as free health care like in denmark gas cost $10 a gallon becuase they have to pay for the "free" health care.

[RawVeganTruth]

Alan Keyes Makes Sense

[ericclaptonismygod31]

I agree! The USA should isolate itself and protect domestic producers. Keep foreign products (and foreign people) out of the great USA! Rather than make the country more competitive and productive, the USA should restrict the economy and pay higher prices for everything! Looks like Obama wants this to happen?

[1TrueConservative]

OBAMA is supposedly a very well educated man formally. Which is Great, that has its place obviously.

But why does that not translate into the Mans presentation and speech patterns ?

Just listening to OBAMA speak is so irritating with typical answers starting as...

''ummm well, ahhh, ohhh, ahhh, ummm we need hope and change and Not just change without hope...ahhh, well, ummm etc.

This is considered an Intelligent Man ? In debates he sounds like a Dope and a Stooge

[qknight77]

I don't usually agree Alan Keyes on anything but I do agree with what he said about free trade. It kills more than the people who buy the product. It exploits the people that are forced to produce these products in horrible conditions at sub-standard quality.

[binky059]

ALan Keyes is so blind and lives in this bubble he has created for himself and only see what he wants to see and believe.

He is horrible and arrogant at that. Loves to hear himself speak.

[MccainsaLIBERAL]

I find OBAMA to be totally Canned, Rehearsed and Fake sounding. His Extreme Monotone almost Robotic Delivery, sounds so Lame, and unappealing. He sounds like a pure conventional Politician to me. I dont hear ANY original ideas , thoughts from the Man.

What is Obamas core political philosophy ? We dont hear this...all we hear is the same old standard pure political rehearsed answers....Nothing new with him, His entire Pres. Campaign is based on pure fluff , style with No substance !

[binky059]

I think Obama can be an excellent President.

McCain is alright too! I think he would be better than Bush and I admire that at least for a republican, he actually upholds Human Rights and the Geneva Convention, forbidding torture. Thank god he is Liberal, or else he would condone torture.

[tbg538]

Alan Keys has weird stances. He is against any sort of national healthcare but for fair trade. Weird.

[DallasisCursed]

I don't trust Alan,on the first part,he would force people to take better care of themselves at a younger age,how young is he talking about.But the other parts,i do agree with him.There needs to be a place for him somewhere.I've never seen him waver.

[tigerone1970]

Right on, Alan Keyes. I don't disagree with him at all, at least on 'free trade'.

[dhsilv2]

How do people listen to Obama...is there a worse speaker on the planet? I just want to smack the guy when he drags out EVERY word for no reason!

[pfannyguy]

Sheeez

[MccainsaLIBERAL]

DHSILV, Is it fair to say OBAMA is the MOST OVERATED politician in American History ?

all slick sounding style, with NO substance

[parispeter2]

Did Alan Keyes join the wrong party by mistake?

[TyredUvBS]

keyes is an old school hard core super conservative hand picked by reagan himself, he is also the only other candidate who is getting screwed and blacked out worse than ron paul

[parispeter2]

Ah OK, thanks for the info. Yes, I do think it's bad for democracy that candidates get sidelined in this way. Closer to my sensibilities, Denis Kucinich was also a victim of this.
