IF Obama ever DID unleash the wrath of his pimp hand upon some poor fool republican, it would cause an apocalyptic rupture in the core of the earth of cataclysmic proportions.
Well lets see Cheney's in deep shit the Rep's are in a civil war within their party and We are getting a health care bill w/ a public option that today 57% of Americans agree with where as only 43% agreed with just 2 months ago. Looks like I was right, dont you think? Rep's are falling all over themselves. In 93 do you know the reason they didn't go with the health care bill? If not, look it up I think you will be very surprised at how quickly they flip flopped on their views and Obama knows it.
We still have to get through the cofferance and the house plan has a public option. If not, its still not dead b/c the mandate to buy a private policy is unconstitutional and will die on the supreme court floor, then I think you'll see medicaid and medicare open up for buy ins which States will love because it will clear 100's of millions off their books b/c policy holders will pay for it instead of the States. I think Obama is planning a rope-a-dope w/ the Rep's and they dont see it coming.
Heres the way I see it. I think Obama is giving the Republicans enough rope to hang themselves. Think about it. The Rep's are telling all these lies, about health care, death panels, rationing, Gov. take over, he's doing the same thing with Cheney. everyday we find out more and more of what Cheney did and he keeps putting the rope tighter and tighter around his own neck. Obama is very smart. And he is playing the Rep's like a fine violin.
I wouldn't be surprised if he is biding his time during the recess taking vacations and "being bipartisan" and then BAM switch into some sort of campaign mode.
He can go right up the middle between the left and the right, and leave the public option to the left.
He gets his way, and the left gets left.

Exactly, we need to hold the media accountable, because they never do their job anymore. I temember when I was in jr high, fifteen years ago that journalism was hard hitting and no holds barred when asking Clinton about things or holding him accountable.
Then with Bush the media changed, in a big way.. they did nothing, printing fluff stories, and now the trend has continued.
back in 2003 senator hillary voted for the war with iraq when she knew like everybody else it was complete bullshit ..she could have made a strong statement in voting against it ..but she didnt and it bit her in the ass 5 years later when obama used it against her during the primary that she lost ..balls my ass
Didn't OBAMA promise to close Guantanamo Bay when he took the Presidency? He remember him making this promise over and over.. the War in Iraq isn't over stil.. which he promised.. Healthcare reform we could easily pass, but he's still making bad on that.
Don't EVEN get me started on Civil Unions.
What's the deal? Why can't we change things? How do we change things?
journalism...real journalism, unfortunately people have been fed total crap (like taking quotations out of context, stories based entirely on ONE anonymous source, just reporting what politicians say with NO investigating as to the truth of their statements, and WORSE...and when that fails, distracting with celebrity gossip) and been told it's journalism and news for so long that they actually f*in believe it.
make the media do it's JOB and we'll start to get somewhere
Well isn't the media controlled by special interest groups, CEOs who line their own pockets, advertisers, and their 'need to sell airtime' (views make ratings, hence, shock stories and bullshit).
I don't think the MEDIA is the answer, because the MEDIA is who never asks HARD questions. You saw this so much during the BUSH years, they never gave him shit, never asked the hard questions, never 'questioned' or made a difference.
That's my point, journalism in the mainstream media is all but a memory. You get the public to demand actual journalism by NOT watching BS -at all-, and advertisers will have to start pulling out because they'll be wasting their money.
Unfortunately the public, as a whole, is too damn apathetic. There are so many that are more interested in celebrity gossip than the fate of their own country, and yet they wave flags and pretend to be patriots, while calling others "un-American". It's sick.
Didn't Obama take a lot of money from the insurance companies during his campaign? So, why would you think he would actually back Healthcare reform? I wish he would, we need it now more than ever.
Obama stick to your guns and do what is right for the "intellegent" and "reality" based U.S citizens..fuck public opinion and opposition and popularity...let your conscience be your guide ...for gods sake
FACT obama and his administration will soon find themselves trapped between to fires and rejected by both ...the progressive and liberal democrats who they seem to have thrown under the bus and the republican's who hate is guts and wants him to fail in the worst way ..he will be a president without a backing
Unless he does something major in the next year or so, I think I'm going to take the same stance. Right now is the 'alert zone' and while I figured this MIGHT happen, I certainly did not think it would happen.
So frustrating, I believe it's the corruption in our Government overall. Let's face it a lot of democrat's are bought and payed for two. They two parties merge as one when it comes to "who play's the game."
Then our media as a corporate entity itself, our fake press, out there doing "we the people" no justice what so ever. Spreading fantasy and falsehood's, giving relevance to the irrelevant, making sense out of non-sense.
Tea baggers and what not making this country into a complete joke.Sad
Howard Dean should run in 2012 ..he's the only democrate thats openly against bipartisonship..and strongly backs the public option...Obama YOU SUCK ...you let fuckin dumb ass, crazy, disgraced, loser,ex governer, "Sarah Palin" punk your ass into taking out the "living will provision" in the health care bill ..WTF
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that government alternative to private health insurance is "not the essential element" of the administration's health care overhaul. The White House would be open to co-ops, she said, a sign that Democrats want a compromise so they can declare a victory.
Facing mounting opposition to the overhaul, administration officials left open the chance for a compromise with Republicans that would include health insurance cooperatives instead of a government-run plan. Such a concession probably would enrage Obama's liberal supporters but could deliver a much-needed victory on a top domestic priority opposed by GOP lawmakers
rom the associayed press..WASHINGTON Bowing to Republican pressure and an uneasy public, President Barack Obama's administration signaled Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run insurance as part of a new health care system.
OH did anybody catch the latest from yahoo news it appears the obama administration is about to drop the "public option" from the health care bill .. due to the pressure from repubilcans and blue dog democrats and right wing fringe protest ...OBAMA IS A COW TOWIN COWARD BITCH ..cenk you called it right ..FUCK OBAMA and the dems FUCKIN PUSSYS..i hope he changins his mind
I recently sent the President an e-mail saying that the time for bipartisanship has passed. The overtures made to the Republican members of Congress have been met with derision and rejection. He should be working on the Democrats that have been bought by the healthcare industry and trying to get them to fall in line. All the so-called "centrist" Dems are nothing of the sort. They are all paid representatives of the healthcare lobby and this fact needs to be exposed. Obama has a card to play.
The big question is this: Are we, as a nation, better off after 8yrs of the Bush administration? The answer is a resounding NO! Obama, like him or not, is trying to clean up an enormous mess left behind by the previous administration. In fairness, I concede that both parties are guilty of the near ruination of this country. I put more blame on Republicans because they had the power to make a difference during Bush's tenure. Now Obama is trying to correct things and here comes the scare tactics.
This makes me think of Maddow's bit where she focused on an affliction that was affecting Democrats in Congress - OFII (O Fortuna Induced Insanity).
Closing Guantanamo is a good idea, everyone's in favor of it. Those now held there would be placed in super-max U.S. prisons and given due process. Sounds like a plan... that is until right wingers run a scare ad about terrorist being "released" in the U.S., backed with scary music (O Fortuna).
Dems caved, voted against it. Lie beats truth. WTF?!
And Right wing nut jobs shoot the Holocaust Museum and murder an Abortion doctor during his church, and you compare that to pies being thrown at Ann Coulter.
People who promote hate and racism should be at the mercy of people NOT doctors performing legal operations etc.
The theocratic fascists like Coulter, Limbaugh etc. are scum of the earth.
Throw pies, not bombs! Frankly, if everyone threw pies instead of shooting guns there would be a lot more jobs in the pie industry ;))
@micahgee Wrong faggot. You fucking left wing commie cock suckers are the scourge of the Earth. Are you actually saying racism is worse than murder? You are so fucking retarded. Get a life and stop leeching off of those "right wing nutjobs" you're talking shit about.
Obama takes $40billion dollars from social security.. You work for GE or Daves bake shop they tax deduct your money calling Social Security Union Tax. Dave sets on Welfare and you work. Dave lauges while he calls you a scab. You paid nothing. A federal workers own child is a excuse for govt. to deposit large sums of money in social security to make it strong as McDonalds called it a loss on the W2 form. Where is the $40billion I guess Obama has got this in the bag. politics did not pay
wow, cenk letting off some steam man.i love it, the dems in Washington are weak. they act like they are scared of the GOP. Who gives a dam, if the GOP really cared about health reform, hey would have tried to do something while Bush was in office and when they had the majority. We voted for change not only in the white house but the senate and the house of reps as well. Dems need to do something, forget the Repubs they are the party of "No", i say to hell with them and get something done...
In the future, a new country will be founded that seperates corporate influence and government, as well as religion.... Too bad our founding fathers didnt see this proplem a long time ago.
TYT - Just thinkin here but, by "pimp hand" you seem to be referring to the "ability to buy somebody" or "ability to scream lies the loudest". im thinkin - obama can't/won't buy the bastards and exploding with lies is not his desired effect. he still has to work with these cowards and he's not in charge of voting them in. Perhaps the "pimp hand" should lie with the people???
No, by 'pimp hand' he means to slap the shit out of (metaphorically) the guys that are betraying him. Obama and the democrats need to 'show their pimp hand' and use that fucking filibuster-proof majority to pass healthcare reform without worrying about convincing people that are bought and paid for by the insurance industry.
This country is getting screwed harder and harder into the ground.. if we get another republican president, or another WIMP in the WHITE HOUSE (democrat).. I'm just moving to Japan or Canada. At least in Canada, if the government isn't doing what they promise, the people revolt and reform the entire government.
umm those are the two most prominent parties, correction, really the only 2 parties in this nation and the likelihood of one of them coming into office is pretty much 100%. I hope you like it in Japan or whatever
I suspect the President might be trying the "give 'em enough rope to hang themselves" strategy. Tricky? Yep. Dangerous? Of course. Can it work? Perhaps -- IF he handles it adroitly.
I don't know when you made this video, but in recent days Obama *has* become far more pro-active in calling his critics out on their out-and-out false accusations. There's plenty open to legitimate debate among people of good will on ALL sides of the issues without making this sh*t "kill granny" garbage.
There's nothing wrong with accepting corporate funds. The problem begins when you become an advocate for the corporations as opposed to speaking for your constituents. Obama is trying to bring about the reformation of the healthcare industry. That is what the American people voted for.
I suppose you could suggest that the American people voted for healthcare reform. But you could also say this for any possible change due to how vague his campaign was.
My problem with Obama during his campaign was that he never spoke in any detail on the reform he wanted to bring. I find it concerning that simply saying "Hope & Change" is good enough for an American voter.
Obama recieved millions from Big Pharma which is why he is cutting them a deal. Or, avoiding serious change.
I don't know what you were listening to but Obama was very specific in his intentions. He clearly laid out what he wanted to do and I was in favor of it all. The plan to withdraw from Iraq has been a little off schedule but just about everything else has been close to what he said.
All I can say that it seems that time and time again, the dems have NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO backbone! Just have no spine what so ever. People did not vote for you to compromise, they voted to put your beliefs and rights into the system to make this so-called "change" happen. 99% of the time I feel the right is wrong, yet they still remain the most vocal. Why can't the left? Their army of only 500, still continues to threaten the massive army the dems now have, it's ridiculous! NO DAMN BACKBONE!
Cenk, I was not in the proper mind-set to listen to this clip. I know you're right. These democrats are likely to fold like lawn chair. It's so sickening that it has caused me to be in a pissed off mood for days.
He'll be 75 then, and almost 80 at the end of his term if he were elected. And he'll lie to you too, just like every other corporate shill that wants to be president.
i only agree with ron paul's foreign policy. but I'll give him credit that he's the only legitimate guy out there, and that's why he'll never make it.
I wonder how many in-power democrats are shaking in their boots because Cenk called them out lmao. Nice performance cenk but they're not watching haha.
Our Constitution and system of democracy tries to ensure that the government serves the will of the people. But it is also the job of government to take control and do what's best for the people, during those times when the people are being dicks.
This is Obama's first test: Whether he can give up trying to make everybody happy, and take action.
I think that Obama is still holding out the hope that he can work with grownups. I sympathize; I am often patient with idiots above and beyond the call, just because I keep wishing for better.
He may also be sticking to the strategy that worked so well in his campaign. All he had to do was appear modestly sane, and the election was in the bag. I don't think that that will work anymore. I agree, the time for talking is over.
It is time to forget the bipartisan thing for health care. They have 60 votes, or can kill filibuster. Do not need Republicans or blue-turd dems. Pick up bipartisanship after it is voted up.
That is the sad story of the USA: Moronic views rule, Fuck the logic. Obama like every other US president is going along with the bullshit because, well, being a US President means he is part of the bullshit now.
Exactly I'm coming to realize that the president might as well not have an opinion because in the end he's gonna make decisions based on other's will anyway.
The Politicians remind me of watching WWF (Now WWE) back when I was a kid 20 years ago. The wrestlers would come out and beat the shit out of eachother and talk smack, they were worse enemies and they put on a hell of a show. They even had people holding signs expressing love and discuss for the battling duo's. After the shows over they are in the back high fiving each other, playing cards, joking around, they are best friends. These guys are here to put on a show, that's it!
The dems spit in the eyes of the public and kick us in the crotch all the time with higher taxes, higher deficits, and bigger government to tell us how to live. How are they any different than the greedy republicans who get us into wars and also grow government and increase our debt? It's the same old same old just a different year is printed on the calendar.
who knows maybe obama has an ace up his sleeve we don't know about. ..i HOPE...come september if he and the dems screw "intelligent americans' and the public option doesnt make it in the bill ...obama and the rest of the dems will be fucked FOREVER
70-80% of the country wanted a public option? Can you tell me where he got that statistic? In one of his other vids with the same date stamp he says Obama already sold out to the pharmaceutical companies and hospitals. Why does he now make it sound like the republicans will be responsible for the Public option getting dropped because dems are pussies and don't stand up to them?
This guy is as bad as Rush Limbaugh at manipulating and changing stories around.
not that I care about the negative rating on the comment above but, I really was serious on the statistic, I'm not trying to be smart ass, if he's going to throw out a big number like that I'd just like to know where he got it. Or is he doing the same thing Limbaugh does and just makes shit up? I don't think it's anywhere near 70-80%.
To be fair, in that video Obama received something in return from the pharmaceutical companies, (which you would know if you watched it) whereas now he's saying that Obama and the Democrats are being complacent for no reason.
Comparing Cenk to Rush is laughable. I've listened to Rush in the past, and he generally fails to name anything close to a source or statistic.
Additionally, Cenk isn't switching who he blames, far from it, he's blaming everyone and rightfully so.
Is it not obvious that politicians at the highest levels of the US gov't, regardless of alleged party affiliation, and despite the occasional disagreement (real on contrived), are, and have been for decades, working towards the same goals? Don't believe the hype.
The U.S people have to demand change ..the "intellegent people" who stand for principles.... not the fringe right idiots who believe unreasonable bullshit
PEOPLE WAKE THE HELL UP you cant put your trust and hopes in a political party ..the intellegent U.S people have to take the country back ...you have to demand REAL change ..not wait for it to come from a salesman
just gonna be the same shit ...they will be controlled also ...politicians cannot be trusted PERIOD...wake up ..republicans independents, democrates...they are all the same
it's like obama has peanuts for balls..HE IS A WEAK BITCH ...fuck bipartisinship...if obama fucks over the people that stood for hours on election day 2008 he can fuck his 2012 bid for relection...fuck politiions altogether ..dems republicans and indepensents ...all are the same..wake up america
fuck that...somebody needs to really "pimp slap"obama and knock some damn sense into his ass ...i'm sick of his soft ass with this bipartison shit ...liberal and progressive movements needs to call his ass out LOUD
Obama insists he wont raise middle-class taxes, but takes on people who say, I dont care how much money somebody makes, they shouldnt have to pay higher taxes. He continues: Weve got to get over this notion that you can have something for nothing.
life in the US will never change. Money & corporations are KING. We are less informed & ignorant compared to the rest of the western world. They are laughing at us. There needs to be a real revolution. Obama promised change and he is now a one term pres. How sad.
:58 I think he just answered his own question... It's hard to take "proverbial" violence seriously when you'll never consider the real kind. Who's afraid of a pussy?
I felt the same way as you Cenk. I thought Obama was gonna bring some heat to the republicans. I was hoping that his tv town hall meeting today was going to be it, but it looked pretty tame. Maybe I should run for president.
No he doesn't Cenk, because as much I like Obama's policies, he's still too much of a pussy. He's afriad of the right and the media are going to say instead of doing what he campaigned on.
man obama aint shit but a bitch...he has no spine whatsoever ....i despised George w bush but i admired his strength in pushing his agendas through ...obama watch the movie "LEAN ON ME" and study "Joe Clark" that was a true boss
I see what you mean. It does get irritating. But what is more irritating is Obama not standing up against the power structure in America. Would you agree?
Obama can say that he's gonna work with Grassley, and not actually do it. Don't take everything in politics so black and white. Who knows what's really going on in Washington.
I don't think the Democrats are weak. I think they're full of shit. They claim to be the good guys, the party who sticks up for the poor and the middle class, but it's all bullshit. They are even worse than the Republicans, because at least the Repubs are pretty obviously the party of the wealthy elite. The Dems on the other hand, lie their asses off about being advocates for the poor, but they don't give a shit about the poor at all, they do the bidding of the same people the Republicans do.
has anyone ever thought of the first day of obama's presidency. I can see it now, he sits there at the desk, while a repub, or builderburg guy laid it down for him, "you may have been elected president, but we run this country, push us too far, and your gonna be another jfk. it's not his fault, although real heros cared not about their own lives, just what was right
Cenk is the man. I think we need a few more Dems who look like they eat red meat- instead of whiny paul begalas and pelosis. the democratic party used to be about salt of the earth working people- now we are represented by the most feminie bunch of pansies you can imagine. Remember this? who would you rather have a beer with? yup, W. won that one. Toughen the F up.
There not wimps they just played our ass talking about change. It was a sweet talk just waiting to tap that ass.
Now if this bill doesn't pass anyone who says the Dems are for change and the people are morons. They will continue to play you'll for suckers making money in the process.
Does everyone get it now? There is no democracy. That died in 1913. WTF does everyone get so hurt when they find out that Obama is just a better salesman of the snake-oil we all gotta take?
The democrats have lost their momentum, and it seems like the republicans might make a comeback, even though they don't have any ideas or leaders.
I agree with what Cenk is saying. The democrats have got to be way more aggressive if they want to pass anything on their agenda. I think we know for a fact by now that the republicans are not going to get any more nicer or reasonable, so its time for the democrats to step up to the plate and lay down the law, no matter what the republicans say.
Does the Obama Administration or any party have the best of intensions for the American public? No. Both Republicans and Democrats are ruled by the financiers on Capital Hill: Lobbyists, Bankers, Pharmaceuticals, Capitalists, Insurance Companies etc. Good luck everyone. We are fucked!

The White House would be open to co-ops, she said, a sign that Democrats want a compromise so they can declare a victory.
fashizze 2 years ago
Facing mounting opposition to the overhaul, administration officials left open the chance for a compromise with Republicans that would include health insurance cooperatives instead of a government-run plan. Such a concession probably would enrage Obama's liberal supporters but could deliver a much-needed victory on a top domestic priority opposed by GOP lawmakers

rom the associayed press..WASHINGTON Bowing to Republican pressure and an uneasy public, President Barack Obama's administration signaled Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run insurance as part of a new health care system.

I recently sent the President an e-mail saying that the time for bipartisanship has passed. The overtures made to the Republican members of Congress have been met with derision and rejection. He should be working on the Democrats that have been bought by the healthcare industry and trying to get them to fall in line. All the so-called "centrist" Dems are nothing of the sort. They are all paid representatives of the healthcare lobby and this fact needs to be exposed. Obama has a card to play.

The big question is this: Are we, as a nation, better off after 8yrs of the Bush administration? The answer is a resounding NO! Obama, like him or not, is trying to clean up an enormous mess left behind by the previous administration. In fairness, I concede that both parties are guilty of the near ruination of this country. I put more blame on Republicans because they had the power to make a difference during Bush's tenure. Now Obama is trying to correct things and here comes the scare tactics.

This makes me think of Maddow's bit where she focused on an affliction that was affecting Democrats in Congress - OFII (O Fortuna Induced Insanity).
Closing Guantanamo is a good idea, everyone's in favor of it. Those now held there would be placed in super-max U.S. prisons and given due process. Sounds like a plan... that is until right wingers run a scare ad about terrorist being "released" in the U.S., backed with scary music (O Fortuna).

There's nothing wrong with accepting corporate funds. The problem begins when you become an advocate for the corporations as opposed to speaking for your constituents. Obama is trying to bring about the reformation of the healthcare industry. That is what the American people voted for.
beeshor1 2 years ago
I suppose you could suggest that the American people voted for healthcare reform. But you could also say this for any possible change due to how vague his campaign was.
My problem with Obama during his campaign was that he never spoke in any detail on the reform he wanted to bring. I find it concerning that simply saying "Hope & Change" is good enough for an American voter.
Obama recieved millions from Big Pharma which is why he is cutting them a deal. Or, avoiding serious change.
