That's politics for ya: Michael Shure is usually very astute with his reasoning but when it comes to "his guy" reason dies. His argument devolved to the point where he could have thrown up just about anyone to run for prez because his only points for Obama were abstractions based on the verb "seem" a absolutely nothing more. Sad that Michael would come to eat his words, but that's politics for ya!
Cenk is a Dick. After watching a few of these old videos of TYT, I see why there's a lot of people that don't like Cenk. I honestly gotta say I didn't know Cenk could be such a Dick towards somebody in his own party that he really didn't know to much about.
WOW Cenk and Jill nailed it in this video on Obama...Especially the part where Jill said "Well, hes not a great leader, hes just a great politician" <--DEAD RIGHT
lots have happened since this clip, and you'd have to say that Cenk was the closst to being right. Okay he didn't call him a failure and the one president in recent times to introduce the most coorporate freindly laws, but still..
@satbir129 her name is jill pike she passed away shortly after this video due to a drunk driver they did make a video about it look it up on there page
@Bleedingbox maybe you're confusing her with someone else. she left I think in 2007, if you go over to "thetopvlog" channel ana did a video recently about how she joined tyt and I think she said jill left to go to dc or something.
@leetcr Here's the thing, Cenk saw Obama as the best we could get probably because Obama wasn't jaded like Hillary. But at the end, Obama was an empty suit and didn't give us the change he promised us. No financial reform, weak healthcare
Wait wait.....who's the president now? How much did he win the election by? :o) It's fun to look back on commentary like this. Cenk changed his tune about Obama.
He is a spineless, black bitch who would rather lay down on his stomach and chew pillow for his "masters" than put up any meaningful fight for the ideals he CAMPAIGNED FOR.
Hopefully, he'll shed his bitchassness and put it to the opposition in the next 3.5 years.
Why is it with some black people that bring their ethnicity in a number of remarks, then? It would be like me saying "Fuck that brown ass motherfucker! Fucking beaner!" See my point?
There is such a thing as reverse racism, you know, even if you are not aware of it.
Not implying that you are, but rather that yoy do come across as one even if you aren't.
Or maybe it's just The Man's fault for fucking with your people for so long(this one I'm inclined to take seriously).
The real question is why white people overanalyze how black people express themselves, like we can't call each other black ass motherfuckers and niggas and shit like that. Like how the fuck can a black person be reverse racist (shakes my head) when talking about his own kind (and not even in a racial context)?
Thats as funny as white folks getting mad when they hear a rapper say nigga. Why get mad white folks, y'all invented the word? What, y'all wanna control how we talk to each other, too?
People overanalyze black folks precysely because of what you just did. I'm not trying to control you, or prevent you from speaking in any way(I asked a question), but would you extend me the same courtesy? There are just words that I'm not ever allowed to say when in your presence, right?
Reverse racism is a byproduct of racism leading to conflicts between one's own ethnicity--not neccesarily an idea of hatred for oneself.
When I make a comment, I don't need to extend courtesy to noone when i'm not even addressing nobody but the video itself. Therefore, there is no need to censor myself. If you were offended or taken aback by my comment or how it was worded, then that is your problem. As for the whole reverse racism thing...whatever, man.
Nobody is talking about you censoring yourself, but rather that you expect that people censor themselves when in your presence(the N word, anyone?) which leads to you being perceived as racist, that and the way you bring ethnicity in your comments at the drop of a hat.
I'm not even offended, just pointing out the obvious which you seem to either miss or dismiss.
But, anyway, you keep it real and good for you but that doesn't mean it's any less racist even if it's not hateful.
It's not explicitly what you've said but how you come across, which seems to fit to an extent the stereotype of the black guy that wants to say whatever he feels like saying(and why shouldn't he?) but expects other people to mince their words around him(again, the example is the N word).
It must have been your overtly liberal use of "black bitch," or other racial slurs and bad judgment on my part.
So I'll assume you don't care about other people's choice of words.
the guy on the right shows the best forsight and delivers a thoughtful and balanced (=not too cheerful) analysis. but he has a hunch of what obama COULD rise up to be.
jill, we miss you(r openness in debate). and that smokin hot body, too.
and cenk comes off embarrasingly ignorant and prejudiced.
More than ignorant or even prejudiced, he came across as a cynic. he is speaking about courage(or as he understands it), and in a way, you could say the he was actually right in the long run.
Cenk is disappointing in this one. If you watch this guy all the time, it is clear that he is left-leaning and is all for Obama. I am all for balanced reporting, but it seems pathetic when he is obviously trying to pander to the conservative side without actually being factual and objective. both sides may be both right and wrong, but cenk should present them objectively based on facts, not "oooh look at me, and how balanced i am being". Cenk, this insult to your intelligent viewers is pathetic.
Jill was a bitch but Ana is no better in terms of overall quality. Ana is an airhead. The other host are out the door because they could actually debate with Cenk. Ana is a push over with no true insight.
@BlindPacemaker lol, just what i was thinking. the thing is he actually did recommend specific policy changes later, but he refuses to (and in some cases genuinely can't) act on them.
i am a heron. i haev a long neck and i pick fish out of the water w/ my beak. if you dont repost this comment on 10 other pages i will fly into your kitchen tonight and make a mess of your pots and pans
Cenk was going a little over the top but I was the same way for a bit. I didn't have any real problems with Obama but I didn't get what all the fuss was about.
I thought he was inexperienced but he proved himself to millions of us. I'm proud to have him as my president now.
@Napstrpsx you know I was a huge Obama Supporter. I supported him since 2004. I supported him over Hillary CLinton and even when he was speculating. However, the more I have seen him capitulate to the right wing and the utter sham that was the heatlh care bill(no single payer and no public option means no change) it has really disappointed me. He's not the liberal I expected
@Napstrpsx Obama is spineless and he sold out to corporations like all the presidents before him. Other than that he is a lot more reasonable than any of the republican clowns
if it wasnt for the media getting his message across obama would of had no chance of becoming pres., he lack leadership bc he stands on virtually nothing thats why he has low negatives.
having said that he looks like he could be a great pres.
LMAO, FAST FORWARD .. TO THE FUUUTURE!! Jill showed wisdom in not judging Obama until she learned the facts. But Cenk my man, lol, way to look like an ass. To be fair, at least this proves you were never a blind obamabot. Good to be very critical.
Cenk sounds like a real ass here.. tearing someone apart and expecting to be fed information when HE didn't go out and do the research for the myriad questions he's asking.. well it's ironic that on this day he's dissecting the "we the people" speech and falling all over Obama.. finally this bum got on the Obama bus
Look at the date added. After you posted that statement should make anyone who criticized Cenk questioning Obama feel stupid. And it proves the Cenk isnt a "Kool-Aid" drinker and actually wanted Obama to prove himself before he gave him a chance. So that proves hes a critical thinker. GO CENK. GO OBAMA!!!!
You are watching the cynics trying so hard to strip the achievements of Obama. The verdict is in, the people have spoken - they want Obama.
Doubters, skeptics and questioners - your days on getting ratings by preaching hate are over. We are tired of cynics, its time to turn to the next chapter of unity.
well,Bush can tell anyone its OK now,he has got what he wanted,Be called the President of the USA. Do you think had Hilary been president before,she be crying for loosing at a caucus? She didnt cry following Kathrina and World trade centre.
Check the record on decision making and laws and legislations passed between Hillary and Barack,then u can then talk about experience between them 2. Hillary talks about experience,assuming Bills presidency was hers,yet refusing to disclose archives abt it
Interesting. Just learned Hillary and Obama are long term friends. See the connection? It's all controlled. The ones who reveal the truth Gravel, Larouche, Ron Paul, are ousted. Doesn't matter, Democrat, Republican the masses are blinded, there are higher individuals controlling America, any smart person will research, the rest are just sheep. People love being sheep as most are simple minded, love to be told what to do, very few critical thinkers in the world today.
The problem with Obama is that he's a member of the corrupt Council on Foreign Relations which is slowly damaging the Constitution. Look up the CFR documentary by journalist Bill Moyers and the public statement by JFK about shadow government. Any CFR member running is being controlled by the shadow govt. Vote for Ron Paul or Kucinich or Gravel.
listen man I felt the same way as you before I realized that you don't always have to follow the agenda of CFR.. in fact I believe he will use and betray anyone who is against his sole agenda.. which is to UNITE us all!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Barack's father is Muslim, Barack was Muslim before he decided to run for President.
Very odd circumstances. For the first time in History America gets into a war with a Muslim Country, Obama (might be) a pretend Christian who was (is) Muslim. We Went After Osama, Sounds like Obama, then we went after Hussein, Obama's middle name. Barack Hussein Obama. That's kind of like the Kennedy Lincoln thing.
u have got to be kidding me, right after I read the statement of you saying that obama is a muslim, discredited your entire statement. most black people have italian, arabic, or french names. read a book please
Search "barack obama muslim" This is a highly debatable subject matter but the story above is believed to be true by various news reporters who have researched and visited the schools Obama went to. Some people will like a person then ignoring some warning signs, others dig for the truth and ignore charismatic personalities that will sway many.
Sure, Tinfoil hat, bigotry, no prejudice, just research. Strange coincidence. First American war with Muslims, after a dude named osama sounds like Obama. We Took over Iraq killing millions and executed Saddam Hussein. (Barrack Hussein Obama). That's weired but hey, just go on with your cocktail parties, don't let me spoil the buzz. Yah America!!! Kill em all, Let God Sort'em out as long as we have a drink in our hand. Go America, Slaughter them all, who cares? last call for alcohol!!!
No actually I discovered a larger threat but all people are brainwashed to not look at this. Study Israeli Lobby. Jews against Israel, Jews against Zionism. The Mossad. Israel is actually in the driving seat, Sharome himself stated in an Israeli paper that they control America, then I looked up The Mossad, they are Israeli CIA & craftier than US CIA. But nobody wants to here this, they like to stay in their Disney Land bubbles so never mind, nobody cares who runs America its collapsing anyway
So your saying that your so stupid that if I told you before Bush was elected that he had plans to send us to war & collapse the economy you prefer to wait for solid proof first, as in after the fact?
Your just a 19yr old kid. From the age of 7-19 the amount of information you learn is massive. The amount of things learned will slow but the things you do learn from 20-45 will be profound, that is if you pay close attention. Sometimes People (like maybe Presidents) you trust the most will turn out to be the ones you should have never trusted in the first place. Only time (or extensive study) will you see what goes on behind closed doors. You are unaware because you choose to not to study.
I get tired of holding peoples hands because they dont know how to search on their own. This video will get you started. I told you, if you are not alert you will miss these things right in front of your eyes.
You can watch the video now or watch it on Public TV 50yrs from now. For many dumb Americans that´s the only way they learn, is to wait 50yrs after the fact to learn the truth as it becomes documented fact & boy are the masses dumb.
whats ur problem white boy!i know u got hate for obama. american just dont want black presidents isn't?
i promised u.....there will be a change very soon. i wonder who da hell is listen to your scrap programme.if dont know anything about obama, then keep ur dirty mouth shut. or else u get deported back to ur country..hahaha. are u from america green? it seems u are from middle east, maybe iraq. go an rescue ur country from america or obama will render u more help idiot.
Green your an Idiot, Whites make up only 1/5th and we are the only race that succesfuly builds the strongest nations that all the blacks want to move to because they cant build there own nations. Obama does not have the biggest following where do you get your info?
you think being a slave or building a few railroads makes you equal in ownership of America? I know other races played a part in shaping of America but they played a small part(America 1950 was 90% White). In all the wars who died the most?. We built and engineered the city's,bridges,railroads and schools.the Indians did not want advancement. You owe your jobs and education to white men and women. America is White and calling me a racist for giving you facts will not change anything.
White people only make up 1/5 of the world populous. Talking heads like the ones in this video are always wrong. The money tells you Obama has the biggest foundation/following. Even bigger than Bush. Jill must have been dumped by a guy that looks like Obama she has too much hate.
My take on Obama's vision: His idea is to find common interests among those with opposing views so we can get something done. Example: Abortion. EVERYONE on both sides of the issue can agree it's not a desirable occurence! How can we reduce the occurence? There is lots of work that can be done in that department right now, educating (a liberal view) or creating stronger moral ethics for our young ones (a conservative view). These things don't necessarily conflict as life vs. pro life.
Those who question what Barack has done should read this THREE books!!! he may not walk around thumping his chest but is THAT what we want? Is that a TRUE reflection of ability? Again, look at his track record. he organized communities with less than zero resources and brought them around utilizing his great diplomacy as well as compassion and REASONABLE LOGICAL thinking. Outspoken, truthful and capable is thrice the qualification of only a 'track record' in politics.
i feel u man... im not racist against whites man its just some of them that really get under my skin... racist for no reason.. I mean give me areason why you hate blacks more than any other race? Im just sick and tired of all this black specific racism...
It's really discouraging to see dumb people trying to analyse Obama's character. This is what is wrong in America. You all seem to know what is best all the time. That's why you put George Bush in the white house.lol.Anyways.your questioning his track record,well engage in some research and then formulate an opinion.I think Barack Obama will do a whole heap of good for this slumping country
HEY BULDY stop the racist bullshit but look at this if u can elect an idiot George Bush than u have sould have no quarrel with OBAMA... SO CHILL... america has not made any progress politically in the last 40 years.. black and having a muslim dad is a ticket to being nowhere in american politics
The last 10 presidents and the last 50 congressmen. Our country is ran by race traitors and Jews. No Nigger should run this great nation, America is a white country not a mixed country of traitors who have there own agenda and want to take what my people have worked so hard to build. You're all the racist just trying to take credit for what my ancestors have done for this country. Count the number of white men who have died for this country and then tell me who sacrificed the most.
well say what you want, i know for sure you are not talking on behalf of white people...actually if you lived out here in california, it's the white people who would wanna kick your ass for being so ignorant...we are past that nigger bullshit. we dont need your vote anywayz....jews, whites, blacks,asians, latinos...we make up the world. deal with it.
Is that all you can say? I suggest you read my post again. Jews, blacks, Asians, Latinos all want to take your freedom and your right to be a proud white man/woman away from you. Do you think they don't have there own agenda? I do speak for most White Americans just not the ones who are brainwashed and traitors to there own culture. You will let these others bread you out of this world why? Stop the hate we just want our White nations back
i hope you are not refering to the USA when talking about your nation, this country was built with efforts from blacks, jews, even latinos, everybody have contributed in the making this country...not to mention the original owners, the indians, lets just get along please, life is too short to hate anyone.
You should be ashamed; This Country was built by White men/women. Minorities brainwash you to think because they played a VERY small part in this country, that give's them a right to take our jobs, education, land and pride. Everyone has not contributed in the USA most have lived off the White mans sweat and the little that other races have done does not give them the right to take it from us.
BULDY YOUR A FUCKING RACIST!!! SO BLACKS CARRYING THE SOUTHERN ECONOMY ON THEIR BACKS DIDN'T HAVE A ROLE..WANTED OR NOT..YOU SHED SWEAT AND BLOOD FOR THIS COUNTRY SO DID BLACKS..IF NOT MORE..WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS DUDE.. OUR GENOME VIRTUALLY THE SAME.. DONT BE RACIST CUZ i CAN STAY OUT N THE SUN LONGER..YOU DONT YOU BE LIKE THE REST OF YOUR RACE AND GET TANS SO YOU CAN HAVE SOME COLOR U PALE BASTARD..HAHAHA
stampinator1234 & obamajnr I feel what u guys r saying. Lets look at his politics & not his skin color even if its a beaufiful 1. All ppl have a stake in this country especially blks, Latinos, Native Americans & cretin whts. So ppl lets evolve mentally superior & look at what this man can do!!!

We dont want to take your rights,we just wanted equality.We deserve these rights the sane as you if not more.The asians built the railroads ,slave money is still cerculating in the top us banks to this day .For one thing the land was stolen so i wouldnt go bragging to quick ,where are your people from? they're not from here unless they are Native Americans. This nation has never been a white nation!Its always been mixed with something.
The 2 speakers may be morons and at least have a little sense. But i feel sorry for u because u are just an empty vessel. if u don't know what that means u better ask somebody.
The only person in this video who has a clue of what he's talking about is the guy in the blue shirt. The other two don't seem to have any facts to base their opinions on.
Why did he ask all the questions like, "I want to know why people like him" and "What has he done", when he was just going to cut the other guy off while he was answering? Hmm... I wonder if they're republican. Hmm... One guess.
Who is that dumb girl with the glasses?? Listen at her. "You know who is optimistic? George Bush." Bitch, just because George Bush is happy, doesn't mean I have to be, it doesn't mean that people in Chicago or New York have to be, and it doesn't mean that YOU have to be. You're close minded.
I thought the guy in the middle was a bully that made no real argument. Barack was one of the few people against the war in Iraq from the get go and he voiced that opinion. That shows leadership.
Its really disappointing to see the hosts assume just because they are ignorant about Obama's record that it doesn't exist. If they spent 5 minutes on votesmart or wikipedia they would know that Obama is the most progressive of those who have a shot at the White House.
MIchael Shure is just a priest for the democrat party. Replace him with Misty would be better at least.

@BlindPacemaker lol, just what i was thinking. the thing is he actually did recommend specific policy changes later, but he refuses to (and in some cases genuinely can't) act on them.

Cenk was going a little over the top but I was the same way for a bit. I didn't have any real problems with Obama but I didn't get what all the fuss was about.
I thought he was inexperienced but he proved himself to millions of us. I'm proud to have him as my president now.

@Napstrpsx you know I was a huge Obama Supporter. I supported him since 2004. I supported him over Hillary CLinton and even when he was speculating. However, the more I have seen him capitulate to the right wing and the utter sham that was the heatlh care bill(no single payer and no public option means no change) it has really disappointed me. He's not the liberal I expected

if it wasnt for the media getting his message across obama would of had no chance of becoming pres., he lack leadership bc he stands on virtually nothing thats why he has low negatives.
having said that he looks like he could be a great pres.

obama speaks of change...
what change can he bring...
has he once been specific about his kind of change?
OBAMA DOES NOT REPRESENT CHANGE AND THIS CAN BE PROVEN...
IF OBAMA REPRESENTED RADICAL CHANGE...
THEN WHY ARE SO MANY WASHINGTON INSIDERS AND OLD WASHINGTON DEMS ENDORSING HIM...
IF HE WERE SOOOO DIFFERENT THEN DO U THINK WASHINGTON WOULD EMBRACE HIM AS IF HE WERE ONE OF THEIR OWN?

Interesting. Just learned Hillary and Obama are long term friends. See the connection? It's all controlled. The ones who reveal the truth Gravel, Larouche, Ron Paul, are ousted. Doesn't matter, Democrat, Republican the masses are blinded, there are higher individuals controlling America, any smart person will research, the rest are just sheep. People love being sheep as most are simple minded, love to be told what to do, very few critical thinkers in the world today.

stormz7675454 4 years ago
The problem with Obama is that he's a member of the corrupt Council on Foreign Relations which is slowly damaging the Constitution. Look up the CFR documentary by journalist Bill Moyers and the public statement by JFK about shadow government. Any CFR member running is being controlled by the shadow govt. Vote for Ron Paul or Kucinich or Gravel.

Barack's father is Muslim, Barack was Muslim before he decided to run for President.
Very odd circumstances. For the first time in History America gets into a war with a Muslim Country, Obama (might be) a pretend Christian who was (is) Muslim. We Went After Osama, Sounds like Obama, then we went after Hussein, Obama's middle name. Barack Hussein Obama. That's kind of like the Kennedy Lincoln thing.

No actually I discovered a larger threat but all people are brainwashed to not look at this. Study Israeli Lobby. Jews against Israel, Jews against Zionism. The Mossad. Israel is actually in the driving seat, Sharome himself stated in an Israeli paper that they control America, then I looked up The Mossad, they are Israeli CIA & craftier than US CIA.

Your just a 19yr old kid. From the age of 7-19 the amount of information you learn is massive. The amount of things learned will slow but the things you do learn from 20-45 will be profound, that is if you pay close attention. Sometimes People (like maybe Presidents) you trust the most will turn out to be the ones you should have never trusted in the first place. Only time (or extensive study) will you see what goes on behind closed doors. You are unaware because you choose to not to study.

you think being a slave or building a few railroads makes you equal in ownership of America? I know other races played a part in shaping of America but they played a small part(America 1950 was 90% White). In all the wars who died the most?. We built and engineered the city's,bridges,railroads and schools.the Indians did not want advancement. You owe your jobs and education to white men and women. America is White and calling me a racist for giving you facts will not change anything.
Buldy1 4 years ago
White people only make up 1/5 of the world populous. Talking heads like the ones in this video are always wrong. The money tells you Obama has the biggest foundation/following. Even bigger than Bush. Jill must have been dumped by a guy that looks like Obama she has too much hate.
greenorama 4 years ago
My take on Obama's vision: His idea is to find common interests among those with opposing views so we can get something done. Example: Abortion. EVERYONE on both sides of the issue can agree it's not a desirable occurence! How can we reduce the occurence? There is lots of work that can be done in that department right now, educating (a liberal view) or creating stronger moral ethics for our young ones (a conservative view). These things don't necessarily conflict as life vs. pro life.

Those who question what Barack has done should read this THREE books!!! he may not walk around thumping his chest but is THAT what we want? Is that a TRUE reflection of ability? Again, look at his track record. he organized communities with less than zero resources and brought them around utilizing his great diplomacy as well as compassion and REASONABLE LOGICAL thinking. Outspoken, truthful and capable is thrice the qualification of only a 'track record' in politics.

The last 10 presidents and the last 50 congressmen. Our country is ran by race traitors and Jews.

You're all the racist just trying to take credit for what my ancestors have done for this country.

You should be ashamed; This Country was built by White men/women.
