  • Obama is a failure. Plain and simple. EVERY policy that he ran on in 2008 (ie closing Gitmo) has failed. He even tried to take credit for OBL's death when intelligence obtained at Gitmo led to OBL's death. He should quietly fade into his role as the worst president in American history and hope that some other Democrat takes the role from him in the future. He even makes Carter seem tolerable

  • conservatives always want to antagonize and provoke people, because they love fighting.

  • i love you man your so funny and have so god appinions

  • hes got aids :O

  • mccain gets elected......there goes my home peacefull country. Canada.

    GUYS DONT ELECT mccain!!!

    PLEASE OH PLEASE SPREAD THE PEACEFUL WORDS OBMAMA SAYS!!!

    I have seen interviews rallies and debate and i was disgusted with mccain/palin

    COME ON AMERICANS DONT DO THIS TO OTHER COUNTRIES!!!!!

  • Ayers can be linked to McCain too. One of McCains largest funders sent 50 million dollars to the board that Obama was on with Ayers. Owned.

  • nice show u guys

  • Reps relics of the past, the only young ones are the bible thumping idiots.

    Reps are the white trash party mostly.

  • The economic DEMbacle was caused by Obama's DEMocratic friends at ACORN, at Fannie Mae, and in Congress.

  • Okay, lets start off with "illegal aliens can vote." You are a dumb f***. You have to be a citizen to vote.

    Are Americans REALLY that intelligent? One in five "legal" Americans cannot identify America on a world map.

    DONT play the color card because I know just as many dumba**es in the trailer park as I know in inner cities.

    Foreigners in most industrialized countries are smarter than you, you fat elitist f***. fall off a cliff or eat a bullet, PLEASE!!

  • Jmaddy10---- Nicely put my friends...haha

  • LOL you're so clever!! Being a senator sure is easy!! ROFL ROFL.

    Actually, black voters support Barrack around 85-93% of the time. Very similar to the support that Bill Clinton got from African Americans.

    In the Democratic Primaries, Obama got roughly 60% of the black vote in key states...compared to about 60-65% of white votes that Clinton got.

    DONT JUST EAT WHAT THE CANDIDATES FEED YOU!!!

    THINK THINK for YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!

  • *key states meaning states he lost that don't have a liberal or conservative bias.

  • The demo's gets 90% of the black vote regardless stupid.. like rep's get 90% of the white vote stupid...

  • There both idiots but I would have to go towards john Mccain because I feel more safe with Mccain then Obama. Obama is young and cant handle the pressure

  • Obama winning elections doesn't mean anything. People change but politics remain the same. The same old political ideas with different people. People suffer more and more, corruption and embezzlement is on the rise and the gap between the minority rich and the majority poor keeps on widening. I think the democratic reform idea that says: "the more you earn, the less your vote counts and vice versa" is the best for now. It is called VOTE SIZING and I recommend everyone to find out about this.

  • YESSS! we need major overhauls on our perception of government. It's all gone to hell :\

  • Yes true, you have an opinion...well...you have the opinion that you were "taught" don't worry a lot of people don't have the personal gumption to make up their OWN minds...don't feel bad, there are other retards besides you! :) I wasn't singling you out at all...are you Jewish by the way? (Just asking because of your profile pic) Why do you have a personal vendetta for Arabs? And what makes you think I'm leftist?? I'm anarchist at best hah! so when the govm't falls look me up...caliber .45

  • what bologne. Iran's leaders have an apocolyptic view of the world, they don't have the values of the west and therefore care far less for the loss of their own peoples lives. Obama's 'talking' to them will accomplish shyte.

  • please leave the country if you're here..and if not, DON'T VOTE AT ALL FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY....you are fuckin retarded.

  • surprise surprise, a leftist that not only believes I'm NOT entitled to my own opinion, but that I'm an idiot.

    That's why we VOTE in elections genius. If you don't like it, maybe YOU should leave the country. And may I recommend a country with your values, Iran.

  • In order to win this election, Obama will have to promise to end welfare, AFDC, the Earned Income Tax Credit, affirmative action and every other program that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton love. Obama can't do that w/o driving his nutty base over to Ralph Nader, so Obama's trapped. McCain has risen 28% in the polls to where he's dead even or even beating Obama. And this is just September.

  • end welfare....are you stupid...the trailer park would be on ruins

  • Definition of McCain in the Dictionary

    McBush McLobbyists McKarlRove'sBitch McShitStain McCain : Endless Shameless Flip-Flops, Endless Shameless Lies after Lies after Lies, Endless Shameless Disgusting Hypocrisy after Hypocrisy, All of these knows NO bounds.

    He will do absolutely anything, anything legal or illegal, he & Rove will even kill people, for just 1 more vote.

    Most Corrupt & Crooked politician currently in US Congress, constantly Deceiving & Exploiting the US public is his only talent

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

  • WOW! What a WACK! If Obama is elected then which party is getting elected? That's right, the same one that want to raise taxes, and develop social programs that with destroy our already faltering economy. Obama has no desire for world peace, like this douche bag seems to think, but then again either does McCain. Only, McCain will actually give it a better shot in Iraq, and probably Iran as well, than Obama will.

  • That's the #1 reason people want to elect this man, huh? because he'll do better in Iraq and Iran? Even if he did, how can this be a top priority?

  • Can anyone tell me if we win or loose in Iraq WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH FIXING AMERICA , people can be so fuckin stupid.

  • the only way obama can win, if if McCain drops out suddenly. Liberals and democrats are so blind with stupidity. They spend more time trying to think up new witty names to call us republicans, rather than bring up fact. This guy is the perfect example of a liberal fool. (well actually they all are)

  • Obama '08 !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • These have been used to foment fraticidal, divisive conflict in regime after regime we want to undermine. We know the telecoms knew what they were doing was illegal, and did it to help the gov't. What other gov't/corporate cooperation don't we know about?

    Is Fox's bias naive or unplanned? The answer is definitely not. Hannity is a dope--the genius comes in on handing Hannity the right talking points, the ones that will go straight to there target.

  • Sorry fuck Obama, he wants to ban my right to bear arms ya fuck off over my dead body..

  • One day you retards will realize that Obama will fuck this country just like McCain will. Unfortunately, you idiots see this as a big game. You idiots listen to Obama when he says ambiguous shit that means nothing yet ignore him when he talks about waging more war in the middle east, supporting Georgia against Russia, sending billions of dollars to Israel etc etc. Hitler can be running for president as a democrat and retards like "TheYoungTurks" will support him just for being a Democrat.

  • The part that scares me the most about McCain is that he's last in his class; which means he's dumber than Bush who was in the middle of his class. It's time to vote for someone that has brains. Vote Obama.

  • I respect your video! Agree with everything you said.

  • If it were not for the FISA bill, he probably would.

  • McCain is the worst puppet. That guy hasnt got a mind of his own and he wants to bring change? He is under full control and that Alaska Chick is such a lovely-silly Husky to complete this tag-team of indoctrinated fools fed by the guns&oil&war-lobbies. Thats exactly what they want: 2 puppets on a string. Easy to handle, easy to deceive, just as they would the American ppl. More ignorant behavior, warfare and social injustice thats what you get with these idiots.

    Keep up the good work TYT!

  • Stop worrying about Obama. If you know about Obama, he is a big basketball fan. His favorite is Jordon. Jordon had "no experience" in high school because he was not picked for the team his first year, not good enough. He rises above every obstacle, not by cheating like many of his fellow players did, be that Bird or Thomas, he just outplayed them. Hillary found this out and so will Mcain. Tiger also knows don't peak early, the last round is what counts. Watch the debates, you will see.

  • Why does Palin still refuse to call Trig her "son"?

    Did she pull a major fraud & deceit on the neo-con religious right with a bizarre story of the child's birth?

    Will some news-person finally have the courage to ask her if she really is Trig's birth-mother?

  • Just last week on Fox News there was a news report that was shown where one of the anchors visited Gov. Palin last April at her home. Her husband and youngest daughter were there as well. She showed her obviously pregnant belly on camera. The woman is in very good shape physically and did not get real big. I heard her refer to her baby as beautiful and perfect. She said that at the RNC.

  • Hitler was considered a war hero when he was blinded fighting the british in WWI. was America and the rest of the allied forces losers for attacking him?

    Just because hes a "war hero" (a guy who flies straight into a POW camp) doesn't mean he shouldn't be criticized dumbass!

  • Georgian President is a WAR criminal

  • CALLING ALL REPORTERS YOUTUBE PROJECT:REPORT

    is this spam? well then why are you allowing youtube to cover up half of our videos with this crap?

  • bullshit and you know it...thats not the situation on the world CIA made the alqaida

    Or whoevery thought of that name...

    911 is done by the internal govenment of amerika PROOF HERE>>> Zero : An Investigation Into 9-11- part 1

    that guy is brainwashing nonstop. dont listen to him

  • I think Obama is waiting for the debates to attack so that he has an image of someone people can trust. I'm positive that's their strategy. I'm waiting for the debates for Obama to totally rip him to shreds in front of everybody

  • He's already got an attack ad. You can see it on his website still I believe.

  • I hope John McCain gets elected and kicks all Turkish people out of the USA they are all Muslim extremists!

  • *lol* Nice trolling attempt.

    *Posts the obligatory "please don't feed the trolls" sign and walks away shaking his head*

  • Excellent video.

  • we're spending $5Billion more on a new aircraft carrier. That's a LOT of jobs, and military gear needs to be replaced after use. That's why we have an economy! Gov't spending is OK as long as it's for the Right reasons.

  • I read a very long MIT analysis of arms spending once. Despite being a war-funded university, they made the point clear that military spending is not good for the economy.

    That may be debatable, but its considered that military spending generates several times fewer jobs per dollar than civilian spending.

    "That's why we have an economy" is sort of a creationist argument. You know, the one where they say, "there must be a God because look how finely everything is attuned to us"?

  • "I read a very long MIT analysis of arms spending once" You should be reading the Bible to understand why war in inevitable until the Final battle of Good vs. Evil. Believers yearn for it so Chuck Norris can lead us to our place at His side.

  • My take on your comments, J. You are someone who supports war, perhaps ambivalently, through a longstanding anti-Moslem prejudice.

    & perhaps only thro a semi-conscious rationalizion, not clear manipulation, you are attempting to get others to support war by applying to economic fears.

    Then, instead of facing defeat on the war-econ pt., you change the subject,& try to mask the diversion with appeal to anti-religious liberal hate. You assume I'll get confused and not see what you did.

  • Look at yourself. Heal yourself. Stop misdirecting your smarts. Reach for something higher. You'll have alot more fun, and its the only way we're going to survive.

    Go watch Encounter Point before you talk to me again.

  • OR I was playing Devil's Advocate trying to get Dem's to understand the lazy and dogmatically simplistic view most Americans have. 60% believe in Noah's Ark, I'm more of a fan of his bagels. I'd feel bad for fishing you in, but you really should have caught the Chuck Norris thing as too obvious ;) I like Encounter Point. check out jews4baja dotcom

  • I don't know if this guy is Mexican but if he is, how exactly would that fact in itself make him as irrelevant as you claim? It is your racist crap that is irrelevant. I may be naive but I am hoping that most McCain supporters are more intelligent than the small mind you demonstrate.

  • it's not relevant to my claim at all. I just thought I'd "throw it in". :D

    My mind is quite the opposite of small.

  • Obama cuts taxes for average Americans and only raises taxes on the SUPER-RICH. But the folks who want more wars, really understand how to lie to gain political power. Barack Obama's senior economic advisor Austan Goolsbee is from Milton Friedman's school-the U. of Chicago. "Neocon's" aren't fiscal conservatives, they are fake "social conservatives" who back the war-based spread of empire for profit, and many neocons were actual reds, like Podhoretz. McCain is a Neocon.

  • Well how is that fair if he raises taxes on the "super-rich"? The "super-rich" are paying most of the taxes in this country already. And most of that money is being pissed away due to government bureaucracy. Now I'll be the first to admit that this horribly managed war has been a big draw on the taxpayers, but at least a small amount of good comes from it.

    If you honestly think that taxing the rich so that the government can expand is a good thing then you need to take a class in Economics

  • my family pays 50% of our income in taxes and Obama wants to raise that even more so that he can expand the government. What does the government do well (other than provide public goods like roads, military, NASA, etc.)? Nothing.

    The government is terribly inefficient due to PURE ECONOMICS.

    And why does someone who makes $20k a year get the same number of votes as me if I'm being taxed much more??? What a joke.

    We need to reform this "election system" to make votes progressive.

  • sorry mr. elitist, but just because u pay more taxes doesnt mean ur vote should count more. u pay more taxes simply because u can afford it, meanwhile the 20k a year guy is strugling to get by as it is.

  • Yes, people should take a class in Economics. Even so, you can NEVER truly understand what will work best. Lets see, the GOP deregulated the banking industry. Makes sense, taxes and regulations down, more incentive to do business, more money, GREAT!!! YAY! Wait, now these companies have come crashing down and who is there to hand them a kleenex?? The same a**holes who let them run amock.

    All I'm saying is we see the results, trial and error says LETS CHANGE something and see what we get.

  • McCain wants to send us back into a Cold war era mentality.

    You O.B.L. is still on the loose out there, and now he wants to divert you attention to Russia?

  • the fucking liberals need more fake out rage like the gop

  • mccain and palin main priority is a war with russia. The war that no one wins, the war we all lose, war that will kill billions.

    We should resolve our issues with russia peacefully, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. Teasing russia, cancelling nuclear treaties, taking sides with aggresors such as president of georgia who on first day of olympics attacked russia (and there is no doubt he got mccain permission before hand), war rhetherics such as "I know how to win wars" will benefit NO ONE! WE LOSE.

  • Georgia did NOT attack Russia.

  • excuse me?

    Georgia bombed russian peace keepers in an autonomious region.

    Thats an attack on Russian citizens! A provocation of war!

    Therefore, Georgia DID attack Russia.

    And talk about double standards:

    America justified its invasion of Panama because a handful of US troops were injured in fights with civilians! (and then they threw in the drug excuse too)... talk about AMerican double standards!!!

  • First, you are believing the Russian version of events. However, an attack on Peace Keepers if unintentional or not does not constitute an attack on Russia. Georgia did not attack or invade Russia. Russia invaded Georgia, and went far beyond "rescuing" their peace keepers. You keep defending the Russian comrade!

  • An attack on Citizens of a nation, regardless of location, without agreed upon legal justification is considered an act of war by most nations.  Often enough, it doesn't lead to full on war, but only because the lesser power is the one being maligned, and it knows it can't win an open war.

  • You cannot handout passports to everyone in a city and then claim them as citizens to provide a justification for war. Russia wants all of Georgia back. Make no mistake about that.

  • "You are believing the Russian version of events"

    This is not a matter of belief. It is an objective fact that Georgia was the aggressor. And i see the Russians as justified in their response... they crippled the army of a nation of that attacked their citizens, yet did not go for regime change... their response was measured.

    I ask you Weddel, would America show such measured response if something like this occurred in their region? No, theyd take out the whole country and put in a puppet.

  • First, Georgia did not attack Russia. This is a fact. Russia was not justified. This is fact. Had we not told them to back off, they would have taken out the government. We have had peacekeepers killed in other countries and did not attack that country enforce as Russia did.

  • Your kidding yourself! Look at it from Russia's point of view, instead of just your own. America puts in a puppet govt ON THE BORDER of Russia, and arms it! (Remember Cuba?)

    America has gone to war multiple times using the excuse of 'protecting American citizens'.

    Georgia attacked Russian troops and citizens, in an autonomous region that aligned itself with Russia.

    Russias counter-attack was limited. As Putin said, "we are not interested in Regime Change. Thats an American invention."

  • It is you who is kidding themselves if you think Putin can be trusted. Russia wants all of Georgia and will take it if given the opportunity. I would not be surprise if the Russians shot their own peacekeepers.

  • I agree with you on that... I don't think Putin can be trusted. But Bush can't be trusted either!

    There is a simple solution to this problem - stop encircling Russia, stop arming its immediate neighbors, and stop trying to put missile systems on its borders.

    You already have NATO in europe, so USAs interests are safe!

    The cold war ended in 1991... Russia has been dormant since then... but by threatening it... you might just wake it up again. Leave it alone! Problem solved.

  • I completely agree.

  • yeah you're damn right. I'm from Europe... why is it that USA has to decide to 'protect Europe from Iran'.. If we want to build a missile shield surely we (the EU) can decide that? not some sideline deal between US and Poland. Fortunately most European governments aren't so stupid and use their citizens money on useful projects.

  • This vid should have MILLIONS of views. Cenk should have his own damn show.

    John McCain is DANGEROUS. Glad someone said it.

  • Our problem is stupid PEOPLE!!!

    Stupid fucking people who use emotion more than information to make decision.

  • You got that right. It never ceases to amaze me how the mainstream Amerian media gets away with insinuating "Iran could attack the US with nuclear weapons". Iran wouldn't even dream of attcking the US with nuks, unless they're ready to be obliterated. But still, the fox news morons sit, watch, and never think. These are the people that are dragging the US backwards.

  • I love your passion. You voice a lot of my own frustrations. I'm going to subscribe.

  • can someone tell me why Iran isn't allowed to have a nuclear weapon but Israel can have 200, and at the same time Americans want to invade Iran?

  • Awesome. This is absolutely awesome.

  • Brilliant, Cenk, as usual!

  • Brilliant analysis Cenk! McSame is crazy. The voters need to know that.

  • A loser? Nice argument. Now, go die in a hole.

  • and electing McCain/Palin is like electing Bill O'Reilly, Ann Colter, and Bush (again).

    besides, i'd take oprah over oppression any day.

  • lol, I agree ... I would rather have a war hero in the white house.

  • WHY????????????????????

  • Obama worship has gotten to the point where Congressman Cohen actually compared Obama to Christ on the House floor, with the false claim that both were community organizers. Almost as odd, he compared Palin to Pontius Pilate. Apparently an elected governor & a brutal leader of an occupying force who executed Christ are the same. I that there are Bibles in Tenn. Please, someone hand one to Congressman Cohen.

  • That's what I was saying.

  • you guys stop talking and just go vote...

  • damn cenk, that's a pretty good argument. the problem is that mccain wants average americans who don't care about politics to feel safe so he uses tough talk even when it leaves us as americans standing alone in a global since. these average joes think america is so powerful we can take on the world alone. well, here's the joke on you. You can attack a country but it's harder to attack an organization that has no homeland as its primary source like sleeper cells in the u.s.(we need unilateralism

  • yep we are getting fuckes

  • You are way too excited...you need to calm down and come back. I really admire and follow you but you come across so darn hysterical that you turn people off. Re-do this whole thing!!! I know what you are saying is RIGHT and CORRECT but you sound too I hate to say it again but hysterical.

  • Wrong, someone has to have passion about it. I sure as hell am not going to just sit around and have the reigns handed to the same stupid-ass party that's screwed us over the last 8 years. HYSTERIA, passion...SOMETHING needs to cause Change.

  • your show is great! everyone who is going to vote republican should watch your show.

  • "If you elect McCain, you re-elect the entire republican party."

    That plus its christian supremacist wing plus the ideology of the Heritage Foundation and all the other Neo-Con think tanks that advised the mess the last eight years of american policy have been.

    What I dont understand is: You want the republican party to be reformed? Then dont vote for them and show you want them to reform. Otherwise nothing will change in your beloved party.

    Loyal republicans vote democrat this time.

  • Obama came on O'Reilly.

    But Palin would be scared to death to come on your show, Cenk.

    She'll only consent to be interviewed by Republican die-hards like Charles Gibson & Sean Hannity where they are only allowed to ask pre-approved soft-ball questions!

  • I like this guy, he's fucking cool lol

  • How the fuck is Obama's book the heart of evil?

    Your an idiot...

  • Biden is a Zionist. I rest my case. Obama /Biden is a complete disaster and McCain/Palin is much,much worse. It is really stupid to take on Russia. Russia is moderate and the US is a rogue state.

    It's too bad the Democrats are so stupid when it comes to campaigning. Obama will win despite all this because Americans vote lesser of evils. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. And that's the truth.

  • Except Biden was the first to suggest 1 billion dollars of "relief" to Georgia even though it's military aid.

  • Obama needs to watch this video

  • OMG excellent point by point breakdown on our future problem if McSame McLame gets in. And he needs to continue to appease the chicken little mentality of the scared chicken shit christian warmongers, they preach heaven is so great, why are they so afraid to die? Gotta Kill'em in Iraq so we don't have to kill'em here on our own soil... Who would Jesus bomb?

  • At 4:40, Cenk is speaking the gospel truth. Think about the lobbyists versus the American people. McCain's campaign is funded by lobbyists. When he is elected, he tells them thank you thru tax breaks and oversights in big business. When Obama gets donations from the American public, it is the same thing, only his breaks and incentives go back to THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!! It has nothing to do with religion, moral issues, race or any of those things. Its the economic role of the president.

  • Obama has someone backing him. He has his lobbyists too. Don't let his slick words and underhanded methods overshadow his hands are in someone elses pockets.

  • I agree.

  • SPOT ON CENK! I hope the dems' strategists are watching this.

  • CNN reported today that ALL of the tutors advising Palin are BUSH people. I think Obama should do an ad with McCain's and Palin's names and advisor titles on one side and the name and the fact that their titles as BUSH's advisor on that subject. That they are BOTH just more of Bush's policy is all we need to know. She may or may not be a maverick in ways, but the results will be the same. Tying their lobbyists to Bush's favorite lobbyists (Exxon, anyone) would also work. MUST TIE TO BUSH!

  • thats the truth kick McGay out.. he aint good for USA and peoples around the world fairing that guys with a button who can bomb who he wants and take oil where he wants.. obama must win.. its a must!

  • tell him enk,you are right,obama had to make it a controversy,lie and lie if you have to and let people talk about it. obama should wake the fuck up and go get him

  • Thank you

  • Great point turk!!!

    Dam those republican shit heads....

    Republicans=WAR/OIL/Greed

  • people please vote Democrat look I know Republicans want to be tough and fight people who want to hurt america

    but Al Gore said a great quote in the Dem convention

    "We shouldnt show the example of our power but the power of our example" America stands for peace in the world and solving the problems of the world not creating them...plz no how no way McCain..i know Obama is not perfect but Republicans will make the world worse by trying to appeal to warhawk conservative christians

  • this guy is a tool

  • This is why I subscribed to TYT because I see sense in this mad world and I basically agree to everything you guys say.

  • All this is fine and dandy, and such a scare tactic might possibly work, if people had brains.  In order to be afraid of something, first you have to have brains. If people don't have brains, they won't be afraid. Ergo, such an ad can't possibly work.

  • TYT Rocks!!!

    You have my full support!

    -I have known a few Pursians. They are great, good hearted people.

    There are too many sheep that will not vote, or will throw their vote in the garbage by voting for someone off the ticket.

    -Peace

  • You're sounding a bit desperate. If he needs your advice all the time, which he could use yes, is he ready to lead? Where's his cahunas, since cave man age those things (balls, woman or man) required for being elected as a big chief.

  • You are amazing.

    That is all I have to say.

  • To all you dumbass conservative asses. Who the fuck do you think is getting rich on the high gas prices? Answer: The people that WORKED and donated on the bush campaign.

  • in that picture with obama mccain looked like darth siddius

  • OBama needs to hide who and what he really is - a socialist.

  • Aye...so?

  • explain... your accusations smack of 1950s McCarthyism, which time has proven to be a un-American tactic. Why do you hate America?

  • I love America. It is the greatest nation in the whole. That is why they all envy us. OBama will turn us into a socialist mess. He will ruin health care and our businesses.

  • No you don't. You love making money and watching the rest of the country go to shit. Why don't you move to Dubai and just make money and sit around in your penthouse and have the slave wages build you want you want there. Ruin health care? Health is already ruined. Look around you, people getting denied for pre-existing conditions and can't afford payments, let alone even get any insurance. Business are shipping jobs oversees - they only care about profits - not communities and people.

  • Business exist to make money, not care about communities and people. The problems with health care are caused BY THE GOVERNMENT.

  • I'm ignoring your other comments because they don't really warrant a response, but this one almost made me fall out of my chair! I'd like you to illustrate how THE GOVERNMENT is hurting the current health care situation. The only thing government is doing wrong with health care right now is that they aren't doing anything with health care. The current health care crisis is the result of a corporate health care system. You are a fool.

  • The health care system is fine, if we let the government take over health care we will be waiting months for surgerys, why do you think people from other countries come here, for our health care system!!

  • actually your only half way correct alot of americans go to south american countries like panama for example because there healthcare is just as good as the us and is alot cheaper you should do some research

  • It's fine? Are you joking? I hope you don't get sick - that's our insurance policy in this country. The government won't run the health care system - they should and will run the health care insurance system. No one is advocating for government run hospitals and doctors, but the way things are paid for needs to change. The government needs to cover our asses instead of doing things like, say, sending billions in aid the Republic of Georgia.

  • I agree with you with cutting of the aid of the republic of georgia , also we should cut of the aid to all the countries that did not support us on the iraq war. that will save us billions of dollars, then we could lower our gas prices and our taxes...

  • So, you're saying that the Iraq war was the right war; a noble war; the proper response to 9/11? Laughable at best, especially in retrospect. The countries that didn't support us knew it was bloody oil war from the beginning. If McCain wins and starts advocating war against Russia for attacking his lobbyist friend's country of Georgia, you'll be the first one yelling about how we have to protect Georgia.

  • I did not have time to find your other comment so I will answer here. The government screwed up health care when THEY promised free health care to seniors called "Medicare". This is your best example of government run health care. The Government stop reimbursing providers the full cost of the care they provided, paying only 80% of what they think it should cost. Where were the providers going to make up that LOSE?

  • Yes, Medicare is the best example of government run health care. I'd be interested in researching more about this 20% shortfall. I wonder if that occurred under the Bush regime? If so, it's quite obvious that a governmental program run by people that want to destroy government isn't going to work very well. They want to make the government look bad so they push privatization of everything, including and up to the military of this country (see: Blackwater).

  • Actually, an even better example of the government running actual health care is the veteran's health care system. Be careful, you are letting your hatred of President Bush cloud your thinking. No, Medicare has been a problem from it's very beginning. The government does very few things well. They promised the old people free health care and then could not actually pay for it.

  • And you need to hide being what you really are - a muppet.

  • if ur sick and tired of gas prices, vote for mccain!!

  • Vote for Obama!

  • why? because new oil leases will magically turn into lower prices tomorrow? get your facts straight. it will result in 3 or 4 cents of savings in 15-20 years. if you care about Big Oils profits, then vote for McCain.

  • Did you fall on your head or are you being paid by the post? All you have is lies and distortion. You'll soon be finished my Disillusioned friend. And a lamppost near you has your name on it.

    Think I'm joking little man? See ya soon.

  • Cenk, honestly...smart people like you should be working for the democrats.

  • yeh, i agree with him. McCain is not the main problem, its the Republicons that scare me. We cant tolerate another day with them in charge of foreign policy. They are ruining the country and what it stands for.

  • If americans fuck up at the polls and elect another war monger idiot to the presidency then the USA will loose every scrap of decency it has left (which isn't saying much).

  • Don't worry, we will. Everything is pointing to a Republican win. If Americans don't care that Bush stole the first election, and don't care that the government lied to us to start a war with Iraq ... what makes anyone think Americans care about another 8 years? Message to the world: AMERICANS DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES, MUCH LESS CARE ABOUT YOU. Once the world realizes that and behaves accordingly, then we might have some change on Earth.

  • cynical as hell, but can't say that I don't feel like that sometimes

  • Only cynical about Americans and the US - deeply optimistic about Humanity. It's time for Humanity to stop waiting for the US to live up to its promises - we're wasting time. Time for new leadership in the world and it isn't coming from the US.

  • Obama has also pledged to stop the revolving door if elected. He has also declined to take donations from lobbyists; McCain has not.

  • Damn! thats some scary shit!!!!!!!

  • ARGH!

  • what obama needs to do is have *you*, cenk, on his campaign management team if he wants to go on the offensive anytime soon.

  • Totally. Obama, come on man!

  • do you really think Obamba is gonna be that great Cenk?

    Ron Paul!

    Google the Campaign for Liberty

    campaignforliberty . com

  • do you really think RACIST cut-everything-but-the-militar­y Ron Paul is gonna be that great rh7onda7???

  • Listen, I'm all for having Ron paul for President but give it up man. He's done, he's out of the race, why are you still trying to call for his election? His own party disowned him. OBAMA 08. Better than McCain. Waaaaay better.

  • tremedar, "reason we have income tax" is to pay for wars. check your history.

    "Federal Reserve is in charge of OUR money, we will always be in debt" NO, irresponsible consumption is the reason for it. The Reserve is the safety net from a congress pork barrel, earmark happy, special interest whores of congress. U want them in control of the $. what kind of "put the fox in charge of the henhouse" thinking is that?

    do you have any understanding of basic macro-econimics?

  • LOL ur watching his video, fucker. Cenk is probably 20 thousand times more intelligent from you.

    FUCK OFF REPUBLICAN ASSHOLE.

  • Sometimes ur shows rises to genius.... well done

  • Throw the Republicans Out! They deserve only that.

  • I guess the way to win votes is to scare

    the hell out of the electorate, sad but true.

    McCain and Palin are both liars and smears

    artists.

  • Yeah that is funny since Obama slings his far share of mud as well.

  • Obama never adressed small town america. Thats what McCain did with Palin. Deal done.

    This sucks ass.

  • I DON'T want to be represented to the world by "small town" America! Small town Americans are as we have already sen for the most part IGNORANT!

    Deal Done!

  • I can`t even believe this election is close. How can people be so fricking stupid not to see the facts. They blindly cheer McCain & Palin as "maverick reformers" when the facts show they are hypocrites & blatant liars saying they are against the very things they have embraced as a part of their bogus "Country First" campaign. Damnit people WAKE UP! Quit looking at the superficial BS this election is to important to give it to a 72 year old WARMONGER & a HOCKEY MOM!!
