  • I normally agree with TYT analysis but Bachman's smile at the end is an obvious sign that she knew she got it wrong and highlighting that she doesn't use a teleprompter compared to Obama. I think that was just being "sweet" and was a mistake of the same calibre as Obama's 57 States - though I'm English so not sure what State Lexington is in. I can't stand people like Bachman and am shocked she had enough support to mount a bid for leadership but Cenk's mock anger was worthy of a Fox anchor.

  • Is Fox News using facts?

  • Fox news has a research department?

  • @geeksqrd Yes, Fox research department is facts coming from your ass.

  • Does "slapping the sense into people" really work? Can we at least try it?

  • Young Turks is slowly becoming more and more reputable. YOu guys used to be a bit iffy but you've come a huge way keep it up

  • Don't you get Cenk, it's ALWAYS the Black mans fault. The white trash is taught that an early age.

  • You guys rock!

  • "Stupid is as stupid does"

    She is a dumb cunt.

  • 51% = 1,2%

    I suppose it was not intended as a factual statement...

  • Bachmann = W in drag???

  • I thought she was joking

  • How indeed did she blame Obama for her dumbassery

  • No wonder this woman was forced to drop out. Even Christians were seeing through her bull shit.

  • 51% ???

    LMAO!!

  • so glad that she dropped out

  • i never see dumb bitch like you u don't know where american revolution started go back home to canada bitchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • @webster935 no, don't let her up here. we don't like right-wing bible-thumping idiots in canada. we prefer to contain them to the south of our border. they can go to mexico for all i care.

  • Comment removed

  • She should stop trying to be clever and settle for trying not to look like a total fool.

  • Bachmann is such a scumbag. The entire Conservative faction of the GOP has always been a cesspool of corruption and complete stupidity. Religious zealots have no place in government.

  • Fuck, what Christian taught her to talk with a peanut butter mouth so well?

  • Suck it up Princess.. You can't blame anyone but yourself.

  • Michelle Bachmann--> GOD I hope she has a penis because she is a DISGRACE to all American women.

  • @Piriathy She is a disgrace to all humans.

  • Comment removed

  • subtitles suck. RON PAUL 2012!!!

  • Although Gingrich is entertaining & Santorum's name is fun to say, Michelle, Rick & Herman were in another dimension when it came to foot-in-mouth disease. They are sorely missed.

  • LOL dumb bitch

  • what businesses has she run?? when did this happen?? did it happen before she was a politician or after?? HMMM

  • She'd be hot if she didn't talk like a retard.

  • @AGenericGuy She's a fucking brainless idiot who believes that the Earth is 6000 years old and the biggest threat to America is gay people. Still, I maintain that it was a good joke...

  • Nothing says "President" Like blaming others for your mistakes...

  • Clearly a joke. Not a bad one either...

  • @forsterism Clearly a repub whitey. Not a smart one either

  • She was joking.

  • read it yourself and look up the part where it says that you are jesus christ. i didn't find it! now stay silent, you false prophet! you don't know the difference between good and evil so how can you judge anything?

  • the problem is that republican jokes are more repetitive than the jokes of the skyrim-fanboys. a long time ago the republican candidates used to be witty and funny but then they took... aahhh, fuck it!

  • it was a bad joke dog...she's a politician....

  • michelle can read????

  • she is a perfect perfect ass.....

  • Fuck it, im moving to Canada.

  • @SuperUltraSquad

    Canada has problems too... look up Stephen Harper..

  • @xmaniack2 I like how every country comes to TYT videos to post that America sucks. Why listen to an American show then? Our shows are good, are people are good, our culture is the amazing. But, yes, we have a strange and mildly corrupt form of government. Doesn't mean America is a bad place to live though.

  • @NY1love I don't come to say America sucks. I'm English, and our government is fairly sensible, so for a good few laughs I watch some of these crazies.

  • Those evil teleprompters do love to conspire.

  • To be fair, it was a joke, and one that was fed to her by her incompetent staff. Also, nobody thought it was funny except the same idiots who already like her. I'm surprised that FOX didn't try to back her up on the 51% issue.

  • Her confusion is a result of being married to a man who can't have sex with her.

  • obama sheep are scary.

  • I think she borrowed sarah palin's teleprompter

  • "The numbers I had gotten"... wow, she's an amazing orator.

  • i would have bought it if she said "it was Bush's fault".

  • First of all it's a joke you idiot. Second of all the majority of people in this country don't know jack shit about our founding fathers, or the revolutionary war. Stop being an asshole, and leran how to take a fucking joke.

  • @BabD1892 It wasnt meant as a Joke it was a cheap shot at President Obama, she made a mistake and instead of owning up to it tried to make Obama look bad for it...lol but all she really did was make herself look even worse, jokes are meant to be funny and her comment wasnt even close to being funny.

  • @KYoungblood1974 I understand if the joke wasn't funny, but it's ridiculous that the media always goes after republicans for the simplest thing. Again the saddest thing is that kids in high school don't know who the first president was. Michelle Bachamn is a lawyer, she got her life together lets worry about more important thing than seeing what Michelle Bachman knows about history. These people act like Barack Obama has never made a mistake.

  • @BabD1892 does she not represent america? it does make a difference what she knows about american history, maybe im wrong, but im an 11 year old irish girl, so haha, im terrible at history and politics too, i done mean to be rude, and most likely im completely wrong..:P

  • @mopryIScool LLs you are not wrong (: It is important for her to know basic information about the country. At the end of the day it matters what her core values are as a person. I strongly believe she is more experienced and more qualified than our current president. Obama ounce went to Austria and delivered a speech. During the speech he said an American phrase and said "how do you say that in Austrian" A president should know the language of the country he's visiting. Everyone makes mistakes.

  • @BabD1892 ok :D

  • @BabD1892 she is stupid. i mean... come on! be republican, be conservative, love jesus as much as you want but stop bullshitting people. no one in the new republican party is experienced in anything but corruption and bullshit. the gop was cool, too sad it died with reagan.

  • @UberTankred I agree. The Republican party has been demoralized for years. Thankfully, since we have seen the wonderful job Obama has done, many have woke up. Many republicans are just know starting to get back to the core beliefs and values of this country.The republican party may have been demoralized, but the Democrat party is extremely demorilized. Please do not make the mistake of voting for Obama. I promise you this country will be unrecognizable.

  • @BabD1892 i can't vote for him anyway since i live in germany. but honestly, i'd rather support his semi-gay attempt at fixing things because the alternatives are bitch romney, newt the grinch, the anal liquid santorum and the guy who wants the confederation back. the only respectable guy has no chance of being supported by the corporations because he's too honest. vote paul and i'm with you but if you vote for another republican then... wow... fuck you guys!!! that would be too much!

  • @UberTankred umm r u missin out ron paul? like evryone always does?

  • @thejack544 read my comment again. the moral of the story was that ron paul is the only, the fucking only alternative to obama. if you vote for one of those new republicans i'm totally in favor of cutting diplomatic relations to the usa because the "new republican party" consists solely of retards who want to destroy everything real christians love. they are moneylovers! the new republican party is the national embarrassment of the usa and americans will pay for their stupidity.

  • @UberTankred Could you point out which Christians are the "real" ones?

  • @JimHinCO love your neighbor, treat the poor like human beings, generally be a good person... you know, the exact oppposite of the new republican party. i don't know if newt the grinch and cheney worship the devil (they most definitely do) but they are definitely no fans of jesus. they say they are but they talk a lot, all day long.

  • @UberTankred So you'd admit that "fuck you guys" doesn't really qualify you as being a Christian, correct? Or even being able to spot one?

  • @JimHinCO you're using the republican definition! don't smoke in public, don't curse in public, don't drink in public, but... pissing on a corpse? thumbs up! molesting children? perfect! having gay sex on amphetamine while being a famous evangelical? great! but don't get caught, because that's the only sin. using words that people, well... use because they are regular human beings? WRONG! kill, torture and rape but don't say the f-word!!! you hypocrite! NO! worse! you fake republican!

  • @UberTankred Christians aren't called to be regular human beings of the world. They are called to be more Christ-like. I don't claim to be republican nor democrat. You shouldn't claim to be Christian.

  • @JimHinCO again! you're using your personal definition and you claim to know that i'm not christian but a pinhead... you remind me of someone! you're a little judgemental, aren't you? as a human being you can't be more or less than a human being. pissing on dead people is NOT better than the average human being. are you from south carolina?

  • @UberTankred That's the Biblical definition...you should read the Bible and look it up some time! If you are claiming all non-Christians are pin-heads, then I guess you aren't completely lying in your statement. However, I don't claim that nor that you are a pin-head...but certainly, you aren't a Christian. You are bad fruit...even Christ told us that you can judge a tree by it's fruit. Please take it up with Christ. Thanks.

  • @UberTankred totally understood sry for my judgement

  • @BabD1892 its not a joke because people actually believe this women

  • 1.3 percent.

  • hilarious response by bachman love it love it always good when u can turn a ? into a joke about obama

  • "How does she blame President Obama for her being a dumbass?" hahahahaha

  • I really wish that people wouldn't use words like "flakey" or "bitch" when referring to female politicians, even if they are as ignorant and incompetent as Bachmann. I'm so tired of seeing every female politicians coloured by her gender.

    Additionally, I believe when she "blamed" Obama's teleprompter.. I believe that was a joke. Saying "I'm not perfect, but Obama has fucked up too." Not that it was a good joke.. but really taking it so literally isn't to this guy's credit.

  • @koishiou ....i wasnt aware that the adjective flakey was gender specific. I just thought it was a diplomatic way of saying stupid or thoughtless. I agree with referring to her as a bitch --- that does little to advance discourse. I agree as well about ur assessment on the teleprompter. She was just trying to be cute and funny there.

  • @flipgood89

    Flakey is a word commonly used to refer to women. It's not as directly associated as the word "bitch" maybe, but male politicians are never referred to as "flakey". George W Bush is a classic example. He got very important facts wrong all the time. No one ever used "flakey" as a descriptor, by friend or foe. It might seem like more of a stretch, but I think it's still somewhat valid.

  • @koishiou ...perhaps, its just that its used to uncommonly its hard to describe it as oriented towards gender. However, being a black man who is sensitive to racial, dog whistles and coded language, I will not dismiss ur claims.

  • it is painful to see that bitch so ignorant uf !

  • She is dumb ........

  • I think you are making a little too much of a silly joke she made. Now I hate Bachman, but that was just a joke there, blaming it on Obama..

  • DUMB BITCH!!!!

    

  • republican mental illness

  • republican mental illness

  • I`m glad Cenk is always there to show the world how crazy some teabaggers are.

  • how does congress vote these people to run for president where in the hell do people find these Representative my friend its time to wash the white house clean man there is some weird stuff going on here

  • The hate on Obama using teleprompters always sort of baffles me. Lots of Presidents used teleprompters. I'd dare say most of them do - considering the amount of speeches a President has to do, it'd be a little insane to think he needs to memorize them all or say them completely off the cuff. Hell, given the number of mistakes Bachmann's made, she should think about getting a good teleprompter.

  • It will all be OK as long as they remove the American IRANIAN embassy.

  • Dude she is not blaming obama she is trying to tell a terrible joke.

  • She just made a mistake.... lol

  • @luckyStrike89ru

    No one really cares about the factual error. His main concern is the way she conducts herself after making a mistake.

    The adult thing to do when you're wrong is to recognize that you were wrong and then apologize. Not to make up more lies and blaming everyone else for your error.

  • I hate bachmann, but I hate this asshole even more.

  • @samborlon

    Perhaps you should stop watching his show?

  • The guy says if you know American history ans shit, I bet He himself wouldn't know that.

  • @samborlon

    I'd be willing to put money on him knowing more than you.

  • @AntitheistPOV You should do it then!

  • Hes says Obama, the words at the bottom say all bombers, wtf

  • Obama mixed up 57 STOPS (campaign trail) instead of 50 STATES.

    A verbal mix up IS NOT THE SAME as getting history totally WRONG

  • What about witches and witchcraft ???

    Remember those years and days... and they went on tv to see their cousins on tv evangelism...

    Some kind of scandal and so why this one ?

  • Ron Paul is the only answer to this countries problems

  • 57 states that's all republicans have? How about if we count the republicans Sarah, Michelle , bush, Herman, Rick, and many more. WTF republicans are lame and stupid!

  • SHE IS SO DUMB!

  • Same teleprompter that told Obama there are 52 states.

  • @cavetrollhead There are 50 states and TWO USA Territories you dolt who vote in elections. Learn about your own country, then post.

  • @dprague Sorry, I was wrong, he said there were 57 states. At any rate there are only 50 states. Is a territory a state? No. Yes I will be voting. By the way, I don't begrudge the president for making this error. I am just saying, if a simple human error makes someone a dumb ass like this commentator says, that knife cuts both ways.

  • Comment removed

  • @cavetrollhead 57 states

  • CO2's 3% of the atmosphere. Michele Bachmann said so! She's not wrong! The "facts" are wrong!

  • Oh shut the hell up.

  • Oh shut the hell up.

  • Shit she's right.

  • Dude, yes she's an idiot. But she was trying to be funny with the teleprompter thing.

  • I didnt know typos make people retarded? She mixed up important locations in the revolution in a memorized speech. Not a big deal. She had a bad statistic and didnt think before speaking. A mistake, but doesnt make her stupid. Now obama on the other hand forgot how many states there were... Thats retarded.

  • Chris Wallace for the win

  • Just Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • They're just using to distract people from what's more important.

  • what a cunt

  • I think she was trying to be witty by making a lame joke.  Another Bachmann fail

  • that b!tch blames everybody but herself

  • who ever wrote the subtitles is retarded.

  • sad thing is peeps in minn keep electing this dumb fuckin bitch to congress!

  • @derail14 Exactly,who the hell votes for crazy ass stupid brainless people like her, Its really scary when people vote people like her into office.People are that stupid,no wonder this country is so fucked and the rest of the world laughs at us.

  • The best thing about these god-awful videos is actually the ads they run at the beginning. Boo hiss for crappy commercial content on YouTube!

  • THe Obama blaming machine with no politicial program else than blaming Obama is back... Let me get some pop-corn, sit and relax, we're in for some fun, again...

  • @Acrimonator Shit, I didn't even watched the video, I knew it would be awesome... Republicans only present retards as runners for presidency... Is that all they've got ?

    P.S.: Obama is a freaking liar only interessed in making nice talks and look good...

  • DOES THIS BITCH THINKS SHE CAN TAKE ON OBAMA,,

  • Oh dear Lord! How can you make such HUGE mistakes time and time and time again and continue to be taken seriously...

  • @josephsalchemy: Simple. Be a moderately cute republican female. It's so rare to find one with a head full of teeth that they'll forgive the pointless blather that falls out of it.

  • for those who demand tests of american culture / history for new immigrants to prove they are american enouigh to live in the usa just wonder how many "real" amricans would fail that test and have to move to mexico or texas

  • So I am curious. If She doesn't plan to use a teleprompter is she going to go back to speeches written on paper that she looks down at? Wasn't that customary before Obama invented the teleprompter system (that's a joke son) which does not require the speaker to look DOWN at notes? OR does she simply plan to make up her speeches as she goes; extemporaneously? Or maybe she so smart and capable that she can simply memorise all her speeches. That's another joke.

  • Fox has a "brain room"? Really? It kicked in when they thought this crazy bitch would get the nomination.

  • so what does she blame for her stupidity??

  • This woman and her Tea Club aims to live the lie, ignorance and the excuse for permanent faux pas. On top of trying to reach the President for not knowing American history. That's what it is, stupidity without limit.

  • being a history professor doesn't make a good president.

  • @signupsigma neither does being an idiot.

  • @TheZorseWhisperer

    And knowing history proves that you're smart. I'm sure Obama is a walking history book. Hey, I know. Let's take the last Jeopardy Winner and make him the president. He has lots of knowledge, even more than Obama. He knows all the dates of when the presidents are born, what year the wars start, too. Obama and YOU sure don't.

  • @signupsigma I never said I support Obama, also that 51% Bachmann mentioned has nothing to do with history, thats what makes me think shes stupid. And while American History 101 is not a requirement for president ALL presidential canidates should study previous presidents to see what worked and what didnt.

  • Biggest Mistake Ever "Letting this woman out of the kitchen"

  • @sixdaysnow biggest mistake was letting her husband out.

  • damn, blame obama cuz she dont know her freakin history.

  • It was a joke Cenk for Christ sake.

  • @surfric She would blame him if he wiped his ass the way she doesn't. I dont buy that "she was just joking" bullshit for a second. She's currently making a living blaming the guy.

  • OBAMA IS NOT A NICE GUY.

  • Aha I love this guy. He seems to be the only one with common sense.

  • Palin, Bachman and fox news for dumb fux

  • joke is on TYT for taking this woman so seriously i dont see them criticizing obama when all he does is blame bush

  • "We"? "You people"? what the hell is this?

    By the way: I am no American; probably the reason why I see things you don't. I guess that just sums it up. You can have your beliefs but no need to spread false accusations around. Obama expands Bush' war, yeah right.

    The US have made a choice: free entreprise, free market and freedom at all costs. Media flare up the public on either side. Your way of life, deal with it.

  • If someone is bad for a channel called "young Turks" then she is good for the people.

  • HA. I was wanting Palin to win so she could be embarrassed by President Obama. Who needs her now? We have Palin2.

  • Can anyone say Sarah Bachman or Michele Palin. One and the same, both have a uneducated support system behind them and from the look of it they igore any good advice that is given to them. Can you say Katie Kouric interview (Palin), or "gangster government" (Bachman). It should scare you that such uneducated individuals would proclaim that they could do a better job than Obama. Is this a case of "dumbing down" or are they naturally ignorant of the world around them?

  • How is it possible to actually believe 1 in 2 businesses are owned by the government. Seriously?

    sad part is i bet some do.

  • Stupid women are good in bed.. err... not in the White House .. lol

  • If she becomes the president of Usa. I will build a bomb shelter here in Sweden. She is the greatest threat to the world ever. Her rhetorics is so ridiculus it hurts my brain. But the again so is the majority of the population of United states of a-holes. Your contry needs her, the world fear her. She is one of the most unintelligent people that has reached that much power.

    Only Bush can compare to her.

  • Ron Paul is the only candidate that actually gives a fuck about America. PERIOD. His voting record shows who he is. Don't be fooled by these liars.

  • @iamthedarkavenger obama voted to torture people in somalia as well as engage in more wars even when Americans are struggling at home. You are lost if you think Obama cares about America or american law. He only cares about thickening the pockets of his handlers. Remember we dont wanna look back, we want to move forward? Yeh he said that so he could continue torturing people. You fucking idiot Obama has prosecuted more whistleblowers than any president ever.

  • @qualityrkc Oh STFU. The hell with the torture thing - Obama's probably the last hope of actually getting the country out of the Republic sh* hole it's in. Stop wasting precious bandtwith with all that rubbish conspiracy crap.

  • @Happyjoyjoy8 CONSPIRACY?!? watch?v=pkYUosydkHE . Can you name one of Obamas foreign policies that differ from bush? JUST ONE

  • @qualityrkc Policies? Well getting out of Irak and changing strategies in Afghanistan for one.. Bush left one hell of a mess and it's hard to fix broken pots when you got dinosaurs - yet influencial ones- that hold you back.

  • @Happyjoyjoy8 getting out of Iraq? There aren't any troops in iraq? There arent any military contractors in iraq? There arent mercenaries in Iraq? Change of strategies in afghanistan!? Adding more troops and paying people not to bomb our troops is not progress and its not what the American people want. Americans want these wars to be over not to be rebranded. You say repubs and dems are different on big issues. I know they differ on wedge issues but what are these other issues they differ on?

  • Also which dinosaurs were in the democrats way when they controlled the white house, senate, and congress before the dems got their asses handed to them in the 2010 elections?Why didnt they save the country when they had total control?

  • @Happyjoyjoy8 btw judging by the fact that you responded without even doing any research brings me to the conclusion that you are a fucking moron.The republicans=democrats. They are beholden to the same special interests and if you took your head out of your ass for once you might learn something.

  • @qualityrkc Yoiu popped off at me and didn't even have the right conversation you illiterate sister fucking backyard asswhore You need to cool the fuck out and go read a few books.

  • @qualityrkc What research is there to be done? If you really think republicans = democrats, you probably can't pinpoint Canada on a map and would't know a tennis ball from a duck if you had both stuck in your a**. Look, they are both very different parties - however they do share similar interests but the application differs a lot. Don't confuse things.
