'I'd rather have promises Obama doesn't keep than promises Republicans might keep'

[slytherinspy1960]

my prediction which was the same a year ago is that he goes against romney and he wins. i don't know to me it's obvious. will see.

[fds9931]

TYT suck partisan hacks that keep the political system fucked up.

[plusmin09]

What an idiotic statement by Shure. Look at Obamas last term. He probably won't keep his promises but instead will do the bought out republicans' dirty work for them.

THEY ARE ALL TOOLS!!!

[oolong2]

There's absolutely no question that Obama will be re-elected. All this "what if" talk is simply filling airtime.

Obama is one of the greatest politicians of our time. He's on the level of Reagan & Clinton. There is siimply NO GOP candidate capapble of competing against Obama.......PERIOD.

I hate to admit it, but Obama's constant compromise may have worked. There is nothing the GOP wanted that Obama didn't do, so other than the economy (which is turning around) they have no case against him.

[AmishRakeFight85]

"I'd rather have the promises [Obama] doesn't keep than the promises the Republicans keep."

.

Micheal, this is essentially an admission that you don't care if the government is right-wing, so long as your guy Obama is at the helm instead of a Republican. What a useless, partisan, dishonest apologist you are. Get the fuck off this show and go to MSNBC where your ilk belong. You destroy the credibility of this program.

[BoredomCorner]

@AmishRakeFight85 You haven't noticed how extreme the GOP is acting these days, have you?

[AmishRakeFight85]

@BoredomCorner I have indeed noticed the GOP heading for the extreme right. But unlike yourself, I've also noticed how extreme right-wing the Democrats are acting these days too.

[BoredomCorner]

@AmishRakeFight85 On the contrary I am noticing that the Dems are turning conservative... but nowhere near as far as the GOP.

[AmishRakeFight85]

@BoredomCorner The Dems are not turning conservative. They have been conservative since Bill Clinton's presidency. The only reason they opposed Bush's heinous policies was for political gain. Now that their guy is in the white house, they happily continue Bush's worst and most offensive policies. They are a party that stands on the same principles as the GOP. There are only very subtle and inconsequential differences.

[lorenzo8500]

Voting in America is a joke. The two party system is a monopoly. There are other parties and candidates but most people will never hear about them. I would not even trust Ron Paul the Freemason. He's controlled opposition.

[lennydevechio]

Some of you people are so naive about parties and politics.

[chrlpolk]

"'I'd rather have promises Obama doesn't keep than promises Republicans might keep."

But promises Obama doesn't keep ARE the Republican promises! This is the attitude that we camped out for. And now we're back to "lesser of two evils" rhetoric. Was getting pepper sprayed worth it, folks?

[cheddyrod]

You can bet that Obama won't keep his promises, history tells us that.

Ron Paul in 2012.

[aluisious]

I'd rather vote for no one. Fuck this system, it's rigged all around.

[kendon0923]

@aluisious It basically comes down to who's the lesser of two evils

[aluisious]

@kendon0923 I'm not playing that game anymore. The system is the greater evil. This false choice every 4 years is worse than the candidates.

[BoredomCorner]

@aluisious Then if America turns to the dark side in November, we'll know who to blame.

[aluisious]

@BoredomCorner This isn't Star Wars, grow up.

[BoredomCorner]

@aluisious Oh for crying out loud... you say I'm immature because I use a metaphor (not invented by Star Wars, incidentally) for the Republicans turning America into a police state, when all you have to offer is a personal attack that makes you look like an idiot.

[aluisious]

@BoredomCorner It's a particularly bad metaphor. For one, it's hardly my fault if the Republicans gain power no matter what I do, is it? And for another we have as much of a "police state" now with Obama as we did with Boy Bush or we would with a Republican, so you're making a false dichotomy.

[Twostones00]

Talk is cheap. My vote will be based on what Obama has done. He took from all americans the right to a trial when he signed the NDAA act. On voting day i will remember the loss of my civil rights, not the words of a speech. Fool me once Obama, shame on you. I will not be fooled twice.

[natyanayaki]

I am so fucking tired of the antisemitism here, on TYT and TDPS...

[MANWORKER1]

@natyanayaki At least you are not watching RT videos. The comments are full of that shit.

[natyanayaki]

@MANWORKER1 Gross. I do watch RT, I just usually avoid reading the comments...

[Sluggo117]

@Stevie68000 Wait, WTF?

[cheerfeverextra]

Democrats and Republicans both are not worthy to be in office. Both parties are barely worthy to clean toilets for living. If their was one decent Democrat or Republican in office, I'd be freaking shocked! Vote American Independent, Reform, Green anything that isn't Democrat or Republican!

[Stevie68000]

Michael Shure is Jew. His great granfather did bad things to Jesus.

[eight18]

@Stevie68000 umadson?

[Terastas]

I live in close proximity to some absolute tea-bagger assholes. But you know what? I've noticed they're a lot less vocal after each Republican debate. Obama might not be a great president, but the alternatives the G.O.P. would give us instead are scary as hell.

Seriously, if Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney gets in, you will see me on the news jogging to the Canadian border. And I suspect I'll have a lot of people running along with me too.

[aluisious]

@Terastas Have fun getting through the border.

At least I'm a dual citizen, it's a plausible plan :p

[seamoremonster]

Okay Mr President...you've rattled the saver, you've beaten your chest. You've said it before. Believe it Mr President I don't think many of us are necessarily blood thirsty...be we want to see some asses kicked and see some things done. Now duck, weave, dance around... but his time throw some power punches and land them on the chin.

[yes4me]

great quote

[halfasser]

Wait...what politician keeps their promise?

[capucchan8]

Bush = Obama = Romney = Newt

[TheDJT418]

@capucchan8 That is BS. Take Obama out and you have it right.

[capucchan8]

@TheDJT418 no they all favor very similar policies but if you wanna keep believing in the tooth fairy go ahead

[TheDJT418]

@capucchan8 Yah! Obama wants to start wars?

[capucchan8]

@TheDJT418 I think the "humanitarian mission" in Libya answers that question

[AmishRakeFight85]

@TheDJT418 The current saber rattling in Iran? The drone bombing extended into six countries? You need to wake the fuck up. Obama is just as much of an illegal war monger and his predecessor.

[indaks007]

Obama is a politician first and people thought he might be the president that will turn washington upside down, he wont do that but when he comes into his second term he knows he doesn't have to worry about re-election and then you will see him a bit more aggressive and progressive

But he's no elizabeth warren and progressive democrats have to realise that

[ChurchOfNotNothing]

Ron Paul has always kept his.

[Guyjharrison]

TYT, I will not be watching you anymore. Your host is turning into an egotistical madman. Your stance on the continuation of "let's just choose the lesser of two evils, Obama" is getting old and that way of thinking doesn't fly anymore. I wonder where you stand in all of this and it would seem TYT is a bias based sell out for the left.

[kinghumanity]

@Guyjharrison So long then, you won't be missed.

[AmishRakeFight85]

@Guyjharrison I get where you're coming from with your comment. Cank has been a major, major critic of Obama, so I'm not sure he's a lost cause... yet. However he surrounds himself with pathetic Democratic apologists like Michael Shure that just poison the entire show.

We'll see what happens. I'm holding out hope. But if Cenk ends up cheering for Obama to win, it's game over for TYT in my book.

[TubaInferno]

Wow that is very ignorant of you guys. There is nothing wrong about the Republicans. Obama shouldn't win this year. Democracys aren't any better. Why do you guys look down on Republicans?

[yes4me]

@TubaInferno because they are insane stupid or arrogant. For example...

Take Cain who pretends he knew everything but when asked about medicare or Libya doesn't know the answer and turns around in circle.

Take Gingrich who is now saying that he is better off with experience of his INFIDELITY.

Take Santorum is talking about attacking China.

Take Bachmann who was praying for democrats and Obama to die surrounded by bankers and camera.

[TubaInferno]

@yes4me How much news do you watch?
