  • I still support the president but boy were we suckers to believe that lobbyists and corporate America would be punished. We were euphoric and thought things would change for the better - some things did but mostly things remained the same. American government is just too corrupt I think it doesn't matter who is president.

  • Hind sight is 20/20. Nobody expected the torchure and bombings and guantanimo to continue and actually believed this clown.

  • Why are they getting off on a fucking inauguration... creepy.

  • @bonfirejovi Because Bush is no longer President... why the fuck do you think?

  • 2:02 Welcome to socialist America :(

  • Unbelievable... Over two MILLION people gathered at our nation's capital to watch the inauguration of Barack Obama. It was truly a turning point in American history and will be remembered for an eternity.

    Just wondering how many of the two million people actually had to take the day off from work to be there.

  • Makes me smile to see that again. The euphoria, the optimism, the idealism - the delusions, basically. No more torture, no more illegal spying? Oh cenk, you're a sucker for big words, fancy ceremonies and symbolic gestures too, aren't you?

  • where white dont have to be white!! hahaha

  • What crack do you have in your area? You are saying all the things that absolutely do not apply to Obama and do apply to Bush...NOW your embarressed??? Dude-Bush was a tyrant with no brains who caused a financial collapse of america and a large part of the world...WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE SMOKING??

  • whats with the voice over?

  • my best part in speech 5:30......I guess the funnies part....I love.

  • im from uk but watched the whole thing, unforgettable

  • An error in the commentary here. Biden was never the President. Barack Obama became President of the United States at 12 noon based on the Constitution even without the Oath of Office. So Biden being sworn in 1st did not make him President.

  • @San47di They were joking

  • Great video!

  • Watch Obama's smile when dude says "when white will do what is right"

  • OMG HE HATES WHITE PEOPLE!!! Couldn't be that he merely understands the irony of that statement.

  • Great great great five stars and more it is what's right to be for America for change that we all can believe in so America in God we trust for our president and vice president we must implement peace and love with no problems for change that we all can believe in. America we must.

  • well JoesGuy is most likely a Mccain supporter who wasn't born in America either but on a military base but of course that's not going to come out of his mouth.

  • Again, you are a simpleton to say that I'm a McCain supporter just because I don't trust Obama. American politics is laughable because clearly you people see in absolutes. Just because I dislike Obama doesn't mean I like McCain. Neither of them fit the bill of a worthy commander in chief. Of course, being as patriotic as you all say you are, I'd never expect you to understand, but I respect your right to vote for whoever you want. It's not my business if you fuck up your country again and again.

  • This was great!

  • hahahah, " get out of dodge"!

    true dat!

  • Roberts,so dissapointing

  • AMEN,Amen,amen

  • your wrong Obama, every world is watching you. and i hope one day very soon your helicopter dont use more oil. XD

  • What a class act.

  • you guys are just so clueless

  • History will show Mr. Bush was the new Crusader against 1.5 Billion people, and a stauch supporter of massacres by U.S. and terrorist state of Israel. He and his cronies have proven to the world and to the U.S. citizens how much harm they can inflict to us and other societies in the world.

  • What if W's chair was placed over a trap door, so that at 12 noon o'clock. . .

  • "Ding Dong the witch is dead, which old witch, the wicked witch. Ding Dong the wicked witch is dead." This was the song that came to mind when the Great Asshole left Washington.

  • THere he goes , into the comforts of the ranch, protected by the NWO cronies. You people are sheep

  • RON PAUL!!!!!

  • I hope you guys know that according to constitution that obama was president as of 12 noon with or without the oath of office

  • His birth certificate has been publicly shown and confirmed a long time ago. Now, unless Hawaii somehow wasn't a US state back in '61 you have no argument. But anyway, like you said, what do you know, right?

  • I know more than you, it appears. Why then is he still being asked for it? Why is his certificate ambiguous enough to say "that might be forged." Why would senators complain if it was legitimate.

  • lol stop your crying you right wing lunatics. Obama is president.

    conservative movement is a failure. you fail at foreign policy, economy, energy, civil rights, health care, education.

    you fail at everything. be happy america will finally have a president who is not a stupid loser conservative

  • Lol I'm going to shit on your response, which I'm sure you masturbated over after you sent it, by revealing an interesting fact - I am a left wing libertarian. This is the same thing with people voting for Bush because they are "Republican" voters. News flash! Just because you support a party doesn't mean you support its stances or its leaders! This is common sense you fools.

  • Yes, at appears you know more than me and the entire election committee who just happen to let it slide. He's not being asked for anything. That's another figment of your imagination. And if you read about it anywhere, i can bet it'd be from another pissed off republican denying anything to make a point.

  • Um actually, you foolishly made my point for me. They aren't asking for his certificate, when any in-depth look at it would have people saying "oh my, for an extract, why are some areas blacked out?"

  • Are you really going to argue about this? Why are the areas blacked out? In case you had no idea, Birth Certificate is a LEGAL medical document. Any information identifying an individual on the document (IDs, policy/medical numbers) is considered to be SENSITIVE. Sharing SENSITIVE information publicly is prohibited by HIPPA and can result in major fines. If you work at a place dealing with health insurance, you can get fired for simply leaving a document like this on your desk out in the open.

  • Now you understand why I'm at odds with the fact he is the president. Look at a few sources that AREN'T praising him as the token black and you might find a few surprises there. Some of which are convincing in the sense that we are too busy masturbating over electing a black man and not analysing his character.

  • Just for shit and giggles...

    "I know more than you, it appears. Why then is he still being asked for it?"

    "They aren't asking for his certificate"

    I honestly think you're confused who's asking what.

  • Honestly, I think you're confusing who "they" are when I mention them. I'd explain both of "them" but I only get a few hundred characters per comment. Feel free to pm me if so inclined.

  • How the fuck can he become President if there is question of his birth certificate? Get the fuck out of here. Stop using that dumb lame weak ass excuse and use your brain.

  • No use your brain. He shouldn't be there for not supplying said information. What do you think I'm talking about here. The fact that they let it slide in the first place is why I'm complaining.

    And for the record, while I am correct and you'll be apologising to me in four years the constitution states I can say whatever the hell I want about anyone or anything. Just because you're personally offended by what I'm saying won't ever change the fact that I'll keep saying it because it's my opinion.

  • such pandering, good grief.

  • these commentators are corny

  • lol at references to the biden administration

  • don't give you're faith to man

  • Amen to that. Man can easily change his ways to suit people's desires. No need for a tin foil hat, just common sense. If he fucks up, at least I didn't worship him.

  • "The Reign of Error is Over!" Good one Cenk!

  • From Canada: Eight years of horror are now over.

  • From Canada too: Amen to that

  • from Canada three:

    Sure feels good now he is gone

  • racist rev lowery lecturing whites. f him.

  • my bush is tingling

  • i was there! i stood on that mall for over 6 hours freezing my ass off. it was one of the greatest days of my life.

  • What a change of pace from Bush's inauguration when his limo was pelted with eggs and had through zoom through parade route.

  • Te reign of error is gone!! Brilliant, unfortunately, if he was making mistakes one after the other, his administration knew what it was doing, I have never seen such a money laudery operation so professionnally setup. From the war to Wall Street. They managed to rob the US taxpayer until the very bitter end. My worry is that now that the musician has changed the music stays the same...let's HOPE for the best.

  • Great line! 9:57 lol "You know what? I think I'm going to take to the house." Keep up the good work.

  • They ended up RE-doin the oath on Wednesday I heard. Always knew that Bush "had 1 more giant ef up in him"! :D

  • Erm that was likely Obama's mistake too.

  • They ended up having to do a do-over on the oath because of "excessive caution." You know it was because the same idiots who tried to make a case against Obama's eligibility because of his mother's age and conspiracy theories about his grandparents putting out a fake birth announcement because they knew he was going to run for President, or just plain lying about when Hawaii became a state etc. They said if we don't redo this, there will be dumb lawsuits brought all term.

  • Chief Justice John Roberts - one of W's many fatal errors.

  • Fuck you Racist Roberts!

  • How many slaves did the chief justice's ancestors owned?

  • Comment removed

  • President Obama should also have asked the chief justice prior to the ceremony.

    Mr. Chief Justice, are you prepared to GIVE the Oath?

    What was the chief justice thinking?

    Probably he did not have expected a negro to be the President of United States.

  • Thank you TYT for your moral support. We made it this far.

  • lets just wait and see...what "change" is ahead...

  • Lol I agree. There will be "change." God, I had no idea the extremist lefts like the Young Turks are so easily fooled by a black man. >_>

  • well the last 8 years shows what happens when the country is fooled by a whiteman and his father

  • racist

  • Uhm, incase you didn't notice, the majority of white folks DIDN'T support Bush. So please, call him what he is, a dumbass. He screwed up the country because he was a dumbass pawn who was bought and paid for, not solely because he was white.

  • Product1999 and buzderan, this isn't a view on race, no matter what anyone says. It's a view on a particular man's integrity and I see no such integrity from Obama considering he hasn't "done" anything yet. I won't blindly praise the man because he's the token black. That's not racism, that's wariness, which is fair considering the hell we've gone through for nearly a decade. He has some work to do to earn my praise. Don't blindly worship anyone until they accomplish something that merits it.

  • Bravo Bravo Mr President Barack Obama God bless you

  • Yes indeed, it's amazing two Americans can just hug each other and say goodbye. That's a distinctly educated thing to do.

  • Fuck Yeah, Down Goes Chainey !!!

  • Bush must be wondering - "wow this is what is means to be popular and not hated in my own country". This is better than the 10 people who turned up for Bush's inauguration.

  • A truly great speech, does anyone know who wrote it?

    I understand the elation caused by the demise of the lunatic Bush, but why do you people treat your politicians like you do your celebrities?

    Additionally, I'm confused why such a ridiculous amount of money was spent on this spectacle during such desperate financial times. How many families could have been saved from financial ruin with this money? Tens of thousands? Maybe more?

  • @2HoleDraw: please watch the TYT video on the myth of the cost the inauguration. Cenk explains the truth of this. That is all.

  • I watched it yesterday, how do you think I discovered how much it cost?. It's a hell of a lot of wasted money. All of this could have been done behind closed doors. That is all.

  • Ali was the king of "Rope A Dope" and President Obama is the king of "Hope A Dope"! And you guys are the kind of Dopes I am talking about!

    What a racist comment it was for that guy to pray that "And let Whites embrace what is right" that was sick!

    God Bless George W. Bush and the Jury is still out on President OBama as he is just getting started.

  • "I have exorcised the demon, this house (white) is clear"

  • "Down goes Cheney! DOWN GOES CHENEY!!!" Luv u guys!!!

  • GOODBYE BUSH!!!!!!!! (we'll miss u so much lol NOT ) go obama!!!!

  • HAHAHA Dick Cheney in a wheelchair LMFAO LMFAO HAHAHA Dick Cheney in a wheelchair.

  • I just got to say, I love James Garner's words for Hail to the Chief, from My Fellow Americans:

    "Hail to the Chief if you don't I'll have to kill you, I am the chief so you had better watch your step, you bastards"

    Go Obama!

  • obama have to re take his oath he miss some words

  • He is still a "war president" like Bush no? He mentioned tanks, missles and war thru out his speach. Yeah he mixed it in with buzz words of peace ect, but hes still wants to war no?

  • He said "not just with missiles and tanks" you idiot.

  • Lon... I mean Dick Cheney in a wheelchair.

  • Amen!

  • chief justice Roberts... what a loser.

  • My favorite part was seeing the Bushes get into the helicopter and leave. Reign of terror is OVAH! lol.

  • haha I give this 1 year before he flops, times are way too hard to be running things like a grad student class

  • is it me or is there a lot of Obama groupies

  • 8:22 Let's hope Obama can clean up that lawn, it's covered in litter.

  • REIGN OF ERROR! LOL

  • I DONT GIVE A DAMN IF HE IS BLACK

    as long as he can do the job

  • SOME!!!!!!!!!!! mistakes made!!!!!!!!!! that was the wrong oath he might as well wipe his ass with the constitution! PEOPLE WAKE UP!! MAKE HIM TAKE THE OATH OVER!!!!!! roberts botched the damn thing , obama can say screw the constitution because lawfully that wasnt the oath of the presidency of the united states of america DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!

  • You're an idiot. The constitution legally made him the President Of The United States at 12 noon, Jan. 20th. But then again, you're an idiot.

  • stfu bluetickrunner, just shut the f*ck up. Oath or no oath, he was president as of 12pm noon. The mistake wasn't his fault.

  • the president is wearing a red tie, bloodgang

  • ....ahhhh shit Canada here i come....

  • "masterpxz2" Keep your backwards hillbilly ass out of Canada. Anyone who has to leave the states simply because a black man was elected president, ain't welcome in my country. Get lost.

  • I never said I didn't like him because he's African American, you're the racist person. Think before you comment. Get lost.

  • barack H obama ?? WTF ?? H ?? LOL

  • george W bush??WTF??W??LOL

  • A black man in the white house!

    Woohoo!

  • 16 minutes untill no more disasters are possible?

    Well that pretty much proves that Cenk is so far in Obamas ass that he can't even see the light anymore.

  • Down goes bush! lol

  • self-professed G. Bush is gone! Good-bye to bad rubbish.

    The positive future of the United States of America begins!

  • I voted for Obama - and God bless him.  I also voted for Bush - and God bless him.

  • AN AMAZING DAY!!!

  • I love this country!

  • the empire prevails, obama holding the same speech bush did, the empty slogans of hope and change already buried in a frame of imperialistic demagogy: starting with invoking the al kaida bogeyman ("vast networt of hatred and violence") and ending with unity in the face and because of a common threat - sticks aligned and bundled to support the axe.., sad absurd theater

  • DOWN GOES CHENEY!!!!

  • GOBAMA!

  • It's a Sea King helicopter, marines.

  • A great day for America and a great day for the world.

  • I Was There!! YEAH LETZ DO THIS!!

  • Good Work President Obama ;)

  • I seen this vid already overdubed with the bird dance.

  • The fawning over the 'peaceful transition of power' is ... lame. TYT aren't the only ones to make note of it.

    Peaceful transitions are the NORM... it's not a glowing example of how American politics is great... That the media makes note of it every election-time is more indicative that there is a mote of violent rebellion left in the mind of whoever speaks of it.

  • idd, even more if obama was sincere and honest the transition couldnt be that peaceful considering the crimes of the previous administration, tolerating different opinions is something different than tolerating crimes, bush and cheney dont deserve a dignified exit, also this "only in america"-bullshit - its not like other western politicians ritually kill their predecessors either, its still the old imperial exceptionalism propaganda speaking

  • actually, the oath doesn't make him officially president. it's just an extra thing to put in there.

  • Worst moment: Rick Warren suggesting that America couldn't do without Yahweh's help.

  • Rick Warren can go fist himself.

  • He's way ahead of you :P

  • Obama will make the tough decisions with the right attitude. Dubya just made too many poor decisions and was just too god damn aggressive. A new start now so the world can simply get on with forgetting Bush.

  • I have optimism and faith in Obama.

  • mee too!

  • Lol @ people thinking things will change xD

  • dude he sounded like bush being sworn in!

  • Obamas speech was about 5 notches down from epic. WAY TO HYPE THIS GUY UP TYT.

  • i cant stand how alot of people especially my people are running around like this man has done something lets wait and see what obama has in store ( i didnt vote )fuck the gov

  • *lol* at the welshman flying the red dragon at 08:22 :)

  • That completely made my day! We seem to get everywhere, but most foreigners still haven't got a clue about us.

  • no offense to justice roberts but seriously. you can't memorize something like that?

  • nice video but quality aint better at all.

  • actually biden wasn't president for 6mn, Bush was until obama was sworn in...i believe

  • The 22nd Amendment says that the presidency shifts at noon on January 20, so Obama become president several minutes before he swore the oath. The new president is required to swear the oath by the Constitution, but the transition of power is not contingent on the oath.

    I think Biden would have been considered acting president during the minutes after noon but before Obama swore the oath.

  • RE: Biden. No he wouldn't be "acting president". Bush is President until noon and Obama is President at that time (EST) automatically. The oath has nothing to do with it.

  • Whoa what a video I can&TBPSQUOt take my eyes off the screen! haha this is very interesting stuff to know about.

  • Man human beings are fallible no one is supernatural, so whatever happened in the end we have our president we are all proud of, why waste time talking about unnecessary stuff when a lot awaits us in the future.

  • I have been pissed off by politics, sickened, but never choked up, until yesterday.

  • Always the cynic I am not convinced and will hold out my joy until Obama does some of what he promised.

    I am however overjoyed that Bush/Cheney are gone...OMG! What a horrendous 4 years in our history. I only hope that Bushco is held accountable somehow for their crimes. I hold little hope for this and yet even a glimmer is good. I will be demanding justice vociferously, join me?

  • Ha ha ha, great.

  • Has fox news ripped on Obama yet for not knowing his oath?

  • Well it was roberts who messed it up so prolly not.

  • Obama messed it up first, an you know how Fox "news" is.

  • Justice Roberts messed up the oath, not Obama, per NPR and other news sources.

  • ....it wasn't Obamas fault. The first time he simply started reciting it befor the minister was finished (the minister is supposed to stop where obama started anyway) And the secodn time the minister read it out wrong; thats why obama stopped and smiled at him.

  • Never said it was. Fox news would just make it seem that way. It was a fucking joke.

  • Well then; you have my apologies. Hard to get jokes and sarcasm over the net as we all know. But really mate, there was just no need to tell me it was 'a fucking joke'. No need.

  • Of course there was no need, but this is Youtube. You get comments like that from everyone. Get used to it. Bad grammar, swearing and random jokes about Fox news are all a part of life on Youtube.

  • ...yeah, I suppose. Ok, whatever then .....asshole. :P

  • Thats the right attitude.

  • unless you put a /sarcasm on or off

  • You're right!! Obama's a freakin genius!! He stopped right where Roberts made the mistake which was..."that I will execute..". Any INTELLIGENT person would look at it again and see the genius of Obama. He refused to go along with the wrong oath, not because he was nervous but because it made NO sense at all. People forget that guy taught Constitutional Law?!!!!!

  • ....see I can spot the sarcasm this time. I never said Obama wasn't nervous...Are you ok? Aer you on something....? o.O Yeah he was nervous- he started to repeat the oath before the minister finished reading the first segment. ...your point is? hes not a genius, and he did make a small mistake, though usually it is read out in smaller segments (but thats not the point). I meant the second 'mistake' was not his fault.

  • No you're WRONG. Roberts WAS supposed to stop at "...I Barack Hussein Obama". He kept on going like an idiot, causing Obama to wait and then repeat. Now, the second part, we both agree on -- his fault as well.

  • I don't think u r American, else u wouldn't be this fucked up. Shit on you.

  • You fucking American fat asses cannot take a joke. I said that Fox "news" always warps the facts around to make it look like the democrat is wrong.

  • Why would someone ever take Fox News seriously anyways?

  • hey don't go picking on america. i know you envy our cool, brother president & his drink-the-bath-water fine wife (with the big dupa). but there's no need to ppick on the whole country. just elect a black guy in your own country. the best girlfriend i ever had was from warsaw (dominieka kurowska) so i'm sure there's at least 1 gorgeous swirl baby in your country with a super high IQ. elect him or her when he/she comes of age. lol. take care

  • Not in Warsaw. Youtube sucks that way. I live in Japan. How Do I switch it? Used to live in Warsaw though.

  • click "account" next to your name. click "profile setup" then change you "hometown/location". anyways, she never got pregnant. too bad though, she's really a good woman (and beautiful too). she couldn't speak a lick of english. all we ever did was eat & fuck. the best girlfriend i ever had. the next time i go to chicago, i'm gonna hunt her down & knock her up.

  • Sean Hannity said that they have to impeach him now XD

  • fuck yea
