Tim Pawlenty Welcomes President Obama Back to Minnesota

[kg6mem]

Tim Pawlenty is a nut case who personally believes in intelligent design.

[TheYogibear77]

Minnesota Forever!

[frigginjoe]

I read that in Obama's first two years in office, Republicans spent more time, and effort to make Obama look bad and counter anything he tried to do than serve the country's interests. Yikes.

[radiofreak56]

Umm no he ran up a 6b dollar debt in MN

[Hello59239]

It's funny how Republicans conveniently forget the fact that the individual mandate was originally proposed by Republicans in the early 90's.

How is individual mandate<<<<<<<<<<federal takeover?

[halation777]

Paw-lenty-of-nothing, FUCK YOU.

[UNDguy1987]

@halation777 catchy, its just like "Yes we can" or " Change" catchy but not really saying anything.

[PatriotInChief]

He reminds me of Leo Bloom from The Producers.

[libralhippieabortion]

This guy was totaly inocent and just passing buy, there was nothing suspiscuss or threatning about him. These cops just seemed to want to fight. There was a lot more unecissary police brutality than that all around, from what I got out of it the cops were trying to intimidate people with crule uses of there non leathal arsenal. I am just saying this out of my own observations, I participated peacefuly on both sides.

[libralhippieabortion]

The police there also very clearly reflected Tims tone in actions. I saw things of camra the are inexcusable. There was a guy riding his bike close to were amy goodman was arrested befor it happend. He was just passing buy and seemed like he could care less about what was going on. He passed by some riot police and whammm!!!!!!!! the officer knocked him off his bike and beat the crap out of him with the riot stick.

[libralhippieabortion]

Most of the protesters were familys of working class people displaced or effected by the coruption in office which Tim here on the daily show seemed to be so againste. yet Tim did not want to raise corprate tax in Minnesota. No instead he cuts spending on the working class. Tim you are not one of us the problem is not government its self, but rather the people in government like you that allow bad things to happen to the people you serve in the inrest of the wealth of few.

[libralhippieabortion]

I just saaw him on the daily show, he thinks that the people protesting at the 2008 R.N.C. Are just some angry 18 year old kids screeming and shouting. and at the same time threatning physicley. I was there and I went to both sides of the whole thing. The people around were the far right wingers were stood around with there nose in the air reassusuing them selfs of there supiorority and controll.

Mean while on the other side working class people from all walks of life. to be cont...

[libralhippieabortion]

Wow I can not believe how much of douchebag this guy is, he is so out of touch the real every day Minnesotain. He cut funds for disabled people, and vetoed the law that would allow chronicly ill people use medical marijauna. Oh and talk about wasting tax payers money this asshole is responsible for target feild right after the ecinomic meltdown of 2008 at the cost of about $400,000,000 to tax payers. Now he is leaving MN with a $6,200,000,000 deficet. what happend to puting it on a credit card?

[DrakeMarino]

I'm still a little sour over the cigarette tax, or fee, but overall I'd say I'm satisfied with Pawlenty as a governor.

[dubtafoo]

What a disingenuous politically motivated "welcome" this was. If you don't like him, be honest about it instead off giving a a fake welcome. Not cool. Typical politician talk.

[Wparklaw]

wow, I wonder what state he taped this in.

[BullishOnRhubarb]

If Pawlenty runs, Obama will crush him in Minnesota. Timmy did poorly here in Lanesboro and Fillmore County. As they say down here in turkey territory, he's all gizzard and no grit.

[dbeimers]

Irony = Governor Pawlenty saying "don't be a stranger now"

[lakestorm11]

...Not to mention that you deleted almost all other critical comments. You are one of a kind, Tim!

[lakestorm11]

Wow Pawlenty, you delete my comment because I was critical of your video?! What kind of governor are you???? Have fun fading into obscurity!

[StorybookLady]

Tim Pawlenty has done incredible for our state keeping spending in appropriate balance, and very good prioritizing. He'll be missed, including his MN humor. If you don't get it, your not Minnesotan! ;) 

[scottner]

I was in Minneapolis this last week. Was great weather, sunshine, nice breezes... all that good stuff. Then come Saturday morning, when the Barackinator shows up in the Twin Cities, the weather turned to crap... just like that. Everywhere he goes, everything he touches turns to crap.

Obama is pitiful.

[raec486]

are they seriously removing comments of differing views? i thought that's what politics is all about.

[giedosst]

Yikes! What a douche bag!

[chasepassauer]

Proud to be a Minnesotan! Minnesotans love T-Paw!

[BearHeart13]

Typical censorship, deleting differing views. You did this your whole term while calling the Dems the uncompromising ones. Your publicist must be Karl Goebbels Rove.

[eggyxtreme]

So this video is supposed to be funny? Sure is hurp durp in here.........

[pinochet222]

So you're basically saying that Obama isn't cleaning up the disastrous mess that your failed Republican economic policies have caused.

You got chutzpah, pal! Go look that word up ...

[Randy55402]

I love this guy. Democrats and unions will destroy this country if not held in check by adults like Pawlenty.

[leoandhope]

Thats why Dayton is winning in the polls. No one wants another Pawlenty. Had Pawlenty of him!

[testingbox2008]

I love this clip till death...LMAO!

[VacantLot33]

Because Russia became independent republics 20 years ago, USSR no longer, is it possible for them to war within? 2 Russian Republics at war with one another? If so, could Alaska be the next Pearl Harbor? And could the fact that Russian scientists perform bizarre, brutal experiments on animals and humans be a parallell to Hitler? We need to PREVENT WWIII, and any/all nuclear missile use, at all costs. An expose would have brought Hitler down. Do we need an Expose on Russia?

[Fitzcard]

@VacantLot33 Relax, the nuclear arms race ended when we came out with the Neutron bomb. Sure still some sabor rattling, but when we announced a little bomb that explodes way up in the air then rains down lethal amounts of radiation that penitrates even fallout bunkers, then disappears in 4-7 days leaving behind fully working enemy equipment, just minus any form of life, the russians threw in teh towel.

[shalcall]

Deleting dissenting comments. . . Uffdah!

[copperegrets]

Fargo, seriously?

[North2016]

This guy is like Bachmann, where in the world is he? He is NEVER in Minnesota...

Nice, you guys elected a governor who is never in Minnesota.. lmao

[13carolynnful]

I like this,guy. Hopefully our mew Gov. to be Mary Fallen will give a speech somewhat like this. 

[sethholmesv1]

31 people? UFFDAH!

[SugarFreeDLy]

@m55paTT

Because whoever moderates this deletes all dissenting comments. Pawlenty, indirect pre-emptive strikes at your potential future opponent don't work.

[M55paTT]

@SugarFreeDLy I forgot that these "defenders" of the Constitution have a bit of difficulty understanding and applying freedom of speech. I expect I'll be proven correct and this will disappear or be considered spam.

[M55paTT]

Why do thumbs up/down not appear with comments for this video? They show up on all others.....

[M55paTT]

Tim says: Don't raise taxes; let everything shift to counties and cities and watch the property taxes zoom skyward. A pretty sight, you betcha! Don't send schools their budgeted money, if fact, take money back from schools that are fiscally responsible and have some $ in the bank. Yah, the schools can then borrow from banks and pay interest on it. The state won't pay interest in anything they hold or "borrow" from the schools. Gosh darn it looks good on paper - for real, not so much.

[jsoulster]

Yet you allow a comment referring to Sen. Franken as a psychopath to stay.

[jsoulster]

Why do you remove comments that find Gov. Pawlenty's video tasteless and disrespectful?

[justbaseball]

Cool! Obama won't get it....

[M55paTT]

@justbaseball He's a little busy to care. 

[g8186]

There is nothing to dispute factually here, so, as per usual, Democrats have to resort to ad hominem attacks. So typical

[JackpineGandy]

Another Minnesota-ism, "Oh, for dumb!" As in: Oh, ja, now Pawlenty is citing old-line Democrats in supporting his own "Party of No" cuts in state aid programs - oh, for dumb! Ja, he didn't support state taxes for dese 'tings, so now we gotta jack up our local taxes to pay for dem, an' so we ain't saving not'ing! Uffda! (the "j" is pronounced like "y")

[JesterFey]

this is an epic win! fantastic, to the facts and very true.

[M55paTT]

@JesterFey If win means Whiney, Immature, Not appropriate to the office of governor.

[brightize69]

T.Paw stay out of the 2012 Presidential election. There are better conservatives that will run ( Haley Barber). Instead concentrate on removing Amy Klobuchar. We have enough ugly Democrats representing Mn, especially with Frankenstein ( what an embarrassment).

[jmmjman252]

T-Paw = best governor in the country. way to rep Tim!

[bslow22]

@jmmjman252 Where have you been living for the last number of years?

[jmmjman252]

@bslow22 MN born and raised.

[hfbasketball920]

@bslow22 I know him, he lives in Iowa

[TheAK1012]

T-Paw! Good job you got myself and two other teens laughing. I'm glad someone is getting back at Obama! And for the rest of you, the schools don't need more money so much as they need teachers that actually teach. Take it from a student, and yes, I live in and go to school in MN. In public schools.

[deafiegb]

I still can believe the crazy fools in MN who voted for that psychopath for Senator (AL Frankestein) and the socialist Obama. What you fools smoking up there?

[shadowfaxstudio]

@TCIrishMusic Our current president acts just as smug, if not more so, which is one of the reasons I didn't like him when he was just an IL Senator. At least Pawlenty is touting his accomplishments and behaving as if he understands the people of his state. Obama, eh, not so much.

[jlsinternet]

If Obama comes to your state, the best thing to say is YIKES !!!!!!!! LOL

[czvet534]

We all stupid ignoramus's 'cause we don't see his greatness.

[drawson25]

Well said T-Paw!

[camperman411]

Uffda!!! try googling uffdatees

[tehnull]

@piwinter Minnesota is the 12th largest state in the union and it's minuscule population estimate of 5mil still ranks us at the 22nd largest by population. Seeing as how the United States makes up only 4.52% of the world population. This must mean we don't know anything about governing a nation. Awww shucks lets admit it, we're all just a bunch of really good landscapers.

[HardWorkingMN]

Thanks for holding down government spending in MN, Governor. And for helping spread the conservative philosophy across this great nation. Keep up the good work!

[lowerhay123]

Yawn....

[AnotherWittyName]

jordan..... apparently you don't hear when Obama talks.... he's rude and condescending to everyone who doesn't agree with him. For the great uniter he was suppose to be... he's not doing a good job.

[JayShri2321]

Is this for real? I think Gov. Jindal seems better in comparison....

[MNPonyLady]

I love my Gov !!!

[thetrixrabbit]

This is awesome! Keep up the great work, Governor Pawlenty! 2012, 2012, 2012!

[stillmacswoman]

Clever way to get some points out there dontcha know.



[Ovedya2006]

Ooftah!

[7beers]

God bless Pawlenty!!!

[impeachobamanow2010]

WHY? OBAMA IS A JOKE!
