  • Cenk no MSNBC is a propoganda arm of the Dem/union mafia.

    You are too stupid and untalented to get an itern job at Fox.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Did they put the public option up for a vote? No? Then they didn't try,

  • Maureen Dowd is a phony ass, disengenious idiot.

  • Don't disagree with Mark Halperin,because he knows man,he's the political editor at large of Time magazine and you are worthless and weak.Now drop and give me twenty.Halperin is the biggest douche bag since Needlemayer.

  • Cenk wasnt born in the US, was he?

    Cenk for Prez?

  • Sad that some Dems are using same old "you are with us or you are against us" bush fanatism

  • Mark Halperin - Neodem - fake - phony - corporate shill

  • WTF??? Liberals are Authoritarian???

    You've been watching FOX News again, haven't you pennjersey83?

    People need to start to 'honestly' care about each other as a whole and not just caring about their own personal self-interests.

    Most people want social changes but if it costs them something, then they complain and try to prevent them.

    But don't worry, apathy and the politicians won't allow any huge changes.

    At least not any that would hurt the profits of the major companies.

  • God I can't stand Mark Halperin. His condicending attitude towards Cenk was disgusting. He thinks he's so high and mighty and all other's in the media should bow to his wise "unbiased" lazy opinions. He kept patronizingly telling Cenk to "slow down". I guess his "fair and balanced brain couldn't keep up with a real journalist who actually uses his in his job.

  • @anitafh1 I think . Halperin was good at seeming calm and collected with solid debating points. However, when Cenk brought in strongly contradictory evidence he got fired up (for good reason!), but may have looked radical in his demeanor. We're not criticizing Obama for being 'a left-wing loony' like the right, it's for not having the balls to stand up to that crap.

  • @synchronium24 Sorry for the late reply. I've been working on my blog so much I forget how much I enjoy you tube. Cenk gets a bit over dramatic but at least he has the integrity to tell us how he really feels about something and sometimes there really is only one correct position. Would you expect an anchor to give both sides (liberal vs. conservative) when it comes to civil rights or whether women should be allowed to vote. Halperin doesn't seem to get this.

  • Respond to this video... I do agree however President Obama needs to stand up to "all that crap" too and I am sick and tired of the disrespect some of these loony right wingers give to "their" President.

  • @anitafh1

    ooooh sweet sweet revenge. lol.

  • Liberals not authoritarian by nature? Lol please.

  • @pennjersey83 Liberals aren't authoritarian. Why don't you give me an example of anything they do considered authoritarian instead of just lol?

  • @anitafh1

    Liberals are authoritarian by nature. Liberals always know whats best for you. Owning a gun is a basic constitutional right and it says nothing about permits or licenses. But liberals know whats best for me so I should just shut up and accept that Im safer and ignore the constitution and get a permit. Liberals in San Francisco voted to take toys out of happy meals. But they know whats best for my child so I should just shut up and accept it. Liberals are authoritarian pricks

  • @pennjersey83 and drug prohibition and illegal gay marriage aren't authoritarian? don't act like conservatives are all about freedom, they only like freedom when it suits them.

  • @webmaster2089

    You can't broadly paint conservatives like that. There are many conservatives who are Libertarian leaning (me included) that don't support the drug war and don't give a damn if gays get married, I actually voted no on Prop 8 in California. The sad thing is most conservatives in the spotlight are neo-con fascists. I'm not trying to start an argument but don't think that all of us are evil or hateful. :)

  • @Deathfromthesky2112 well sadly, either most conservatives aren't like you, or (maybe more likely) the focus is on the ones who aren't. the ones i'm arguing against are the ones who tend to paint liberals in broad strokes as well, like this lovely fellow above me.

    and the truth is conservatives, at least the steadfast republicans, try to act like they have a monopoly on freedom, when it's really only the libertarians who could make that claim.

  • @pennjersey83 If you don't believe Liberals are not authoritarian by nature ( which you base on nothing but your own opinion), why don't you read "Conservatives Without Conscience" by John Dean. He has plenty of Nobel Prize winning, non political scientific sources sighted in it. I doubt you will though because unlike you I would never make a statement like you made without having studied it and then coming to a conclusion.based on scientific studies.

  • Actually no Cenk, Obama never said he wanted a single payer system and it's these kinds of missed facts that keep me from watching any political shows after 9am and before 4pm, because everyone on the air are just a bunch of hacks.

  • @shivakrishnarama Obama endorsed the idea of a single payer system back in 2003.

  • when Mark Halperin first came along with his book Game Change I thought he was liberal but the more I see of him the more I see he is more center right and an apologist for the agenda to compromise/give in at every turn with the right

  • Cenk, you are deranged because you (like most progressives) believed and campaigned for Obama because we thought he was on OUR side. The people's side. Instead we got a President willing to sell out his base for political expediency. Just because you pass a bill with a "Health Care" label on it doesn't mean it's progressive. Like the old saying goes, "Just because you pour syrup on shit doesn't make them pancakes"! We can't support a Democratic president just because he is a Democrat.

  • @atlsam1

    Come on, Cenk isn't deranged. He chose to believe Obama's campaign promises like I think people should be able to do. We should live in a world where we can trust what people say. Now Cenk is saying, why are you betraying those promises so badly?

    I am a progressive and I did not vote for Obama for the very reason that I have no trust in the Democrats, but that doesn't mean Cenk is deranged for doing the opposite.

    I think it's the politicians who are deranged, Obama included.

  • @lynchmobb2000 Out of curiosity who did you vote for? I supported Obama at the time (as more of a liberal than a progressive), but looking back Mike Gravel seemed the closest to my current beliefs. Too bad he's out of the politics deal now :( I'll I know for sure is that the establishment won't work, right or left.

  • @synchronium24

    I voted for Nader as I did in 2000, and 2004. In 08 I told all my Obama voting friends that as well intentioned as they were, Obama never committed to getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan immediately (as most of the country wanted) and never committed to Single Payer.

    The rest is history. Pathetic history.

  • @lynchmobb2000

    Progressives are deranged, but then again, you might not actually be one. What would your definition of progressive be?

  • @LoryLandskipper

    I most definitely am a Progressive. A Liberal. An open-minded person who believes society should protect the least among us as a priority.

    The next time you take a sick day from work, thank a Progressive.

    The next time you take a vacation day from work, thank a Progressive.

    Next time you work an 8 hour day, a 40 hour week, in safe conditions.

    The next time you breathe clean air, drink clean water, eat safe food.

    Open a history book you ignorant fuck.

  • @lynchmobb2000

    Yep, you're deranged. Thanks for proving it.

    You forgot "The next time you pay in taxes what could literally pay for a house"

    or "The next time someone tells you that you didn't get the job because of affirmative action"

    Yep, you progressives sure do make things better. Sick days, 40 hour work weeks, safe conditions, all brought on by unions, not just progressives. You're more like the little dweeb who tells everyone what they should do, but doesn't contribute shit.

  • @lynchmobb2000 The problem with Cenk and people on the professional left is that they project their own agendas on democratic candidates and if they don't get 100% of their agenda they want to burn the entire house down. Take the "single payer" issue. Candidate Obama NEVER promised or campaigned on setting up a single payer health care system. NEVER. Now, he may personally FAVOR single payer, and may have voiced that endorsement, but he knew there wasn't the mandate, or votes for it.

  • @amboyace

    What you call projecting an agenda, I call democracy. We need to make consistent strong demands or else these politicians will just do their own bidding. The squeaky wheel gets the oil.

    Not to mention I could say you're doing a little wordsmithing by saying BO never "campaigned on" single payer. The man campaigned on change. So how dare those of us who want single payer interpret "change" that way!

    Obama is nothing but a politician when it comes right down to it. He aint special.

  • @lynchmobb2000 They're ALL politicians. The difference between you and me is that I'm not looking for a messiah in politics. Obama campaigned on change. We got CHANGE. Millions of people will have access to healthcare that didn't have it BEFORE. Your waiting for single payer is a lot like my waiting for reparations as a Black man. Yeah, somebody once said my slave ancestors should have been compensated with 40 acres and a mule. Congress wasn't having it, so why should I EXPECT it to happen?

  • @lynchmobb2000 I think he was referring to Mark Halperin not Cenk.... but I would agree.

  • EVERYONE WANTS A FRIGGIN PUBLIC OPTION YOU STUPID POLITICIANS!

  • @jbeihl1 too bad Obama was the hand picked stooge of the elite and had no intention of doing anything he said during the campaign..he has given the elite everything they could have wanted and the real democrats will take the blame for his betrayal

  • Halperin has it exactly backwards.

  • CENK CHEWED HIS ASS UP LOL LEEEEEGGGGOOOOO TYT

  • I'm unsubscribing from TYT, just because my homepage is spammed by Cenk and MSNBC these days. If i wanted to see MSNBC, i would subscribe.

    This has turned into the Cenk show.

    Goodbye

  • @markadair

    not me, TYT is history without Cenk

  • If I were CVenk I would NOT shed ANY tears for you.... Why did you subscribe in the first place to look at Ana and Jerk off??? If you don't listen to what he's saying and you don't care about the politics than BYE...... I would understand maybe if Cenk went on MSNBC and started speaking differently than he usually does but he hasn't... TYT doesn't need left wingers who have right wing mind frames

  • With due respect Cenk, Barack Obama "supported" Single Payer as far as 2003. By 2008 in the primaries and on campaign mode, he was OPPOSED to Single Payer. Barack Obama only tepidly supported the Public Option in which case you are correct. The issue will come back after Democrats get their act together years later and try to (if there any common sense outside the absolute pro-Single Payer position) to institute a Medicare buy in for everyone under 65.

  • And you believe this will happen??? ALSO I dont remember Obama being tepid about the public option... I remember him making the case for it a lot during his campaign... tepid AFTER election agreed....

  • the media ( print press and tv news ) have gone out of their way to show how fair and balanced they are as fox news moves ever further right. this has happened ever since the dan rather, incident at cbs. they feel they must re-establish their creditbility and it is'nt working and it is'nt going to. their just going to continue to be seen as lackies until they do their job without consideration of perception. wolf blitzer has before a major butt smoocher in intrest of appearing fair and balanced.

  • Basically, it's all bullshit! KRS 1 was right. The President is like the manager of Burger King. We will never see the franchise owner.

  • Cenk kicks ass. The Ed Show format suits him

  • Anyone else think Cenk's inteviewing tone suddenly sounds like mellow version of a Billo?

    ....I was honestly waiting for "shuddap" near the end XD

    But I loved the video because of its clearcut message: All media should challenge the government, not Fox it!

  • @ShyneLamar No...? But thanks for participating in yet another Fox Troll whisper campaign

  • Mark, what EXACTLY did Obama do to push for the public option? 6:25 It could definitely mean the White House is not trying as hard b/c Obama CERTAINLY could have exerted pressure on turncoat Dems. We never heard Obama taking it to the Bluedog Dems to push for the public option. 6:37 the prof left did not support Obama like the inst right supported Bush b/c Obama wasn't taking strong positions ie pharmaceutical monoply giveaway. That's why. If Obama pushed like Bush did imagine the difference.

  • nice cenk

  • Cenk is a bad ass.

  • The difference between MSNBC and Fox News is that people watch Fox News.

  • @azcraigrr You think popularity signifies correctness?

    So did the Germans.

  • @djangst

    Behold the socialist trying to smear prior socialist stink onto those who oppose their current form.

    HILARIOUS.

  • @djangst And how do you make that leap in logic? Fox and MSNBC are chosen to be viewed by the viewers, not the other way around.

  • this has got to be the best B S vid ever msnbc using thier brains LMAO

    two of the biggest "a" holes that could be found

  • Mark, why didn't they have the votes? Whose interests did the "no votes" have in mind? I've zero experience in journalism & no Washington inside connections yet I come up with questions that a real reporter should ask. You, Maureen Dowd's, and the media elite's failures to even come up with these in depth questions let alone answering them is why establishment media is tanking.

    Cenk please pass this point along to them and the rest of the media elite.

  • Cenk panders to the audience, cause he just wants to be liked..... what a sell-out. TheDungTurds suck.

    Nobody watches MSNBC...... LOL!

  • Dhimmi-Tube

    Day after day, the entire front page of YouTube's "News & Politics" ...

    TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, TheYoungMuslims, ... evidently, Acorn's army found a new gig.

    Leftists & Muslims -- Life Partners -- Hot for Hirabah

  • @TylerNull Something wrong with Muslims? Bigot much?

  • @djangst Something wrong with reality? Deny much?

    La Raza much?

    Bigots SKYROCKET to the top of your toxic rainbow party. Don't project, jackass.

  • After we take over in November, we have to reverse 100 years of liberalism. We have to get rid of dept of education, dept of energy, and a bunch more depts. We have to leave about 150 of the 180 nations we occupy. We have to get rid of a bunch of welfare, end unemployment insurance, etc - we have a ton of work to do.

  • how come Cenk didn't get a permanent place at msnbc? he is perfect!

  • @colloredbrothers

    Maybe he would have to sell himself out? Like the guy he was talking to.

  • You can tell that Cenk is working with a teleprompter. I like him better when he is just speaking his mind.

  • BYE BYE DEMS! They are already predicting A WIPEPOUT IN NOV! HAAHHAHAHH!!

  • @mgallant01 thats nice. you do sound a bit like a maniac though. and im kind of amazed you didnt realize that before posting that

  • @mgallant01 Yeaaah! Fascism....awesome....kill yourself.

  • Hillary will be NBC's candidate in 2012. The reason O'bama is being attacked is because he was a set up. He knew this was coming. Explain. Simple The press is not O'bama they are LEFT listen to them. It is only politics to them. When (R) win and things keep going the same. In 2012 Hillary will offer not hope or change but chance and opportunity. This is all a set up for complete and total control. Pander to the unions then pander to the common then sell them out and ship jobs over seas.

  • @CommunistProgressive <<<awww ..check out the little communist obama lover!

  • @Mixman77 LOLOLOLOLOLOL yeah, I did not vote for either. shhhhh I'm a Libertarian.

  • slowwwwwww dowwwwwwn Cenkkkkkkkk

  • We cannot help but laugh at this entire ordeal with TYT, MSNBC and the left over TYT crew that Cenk has now left in the dust, for what? A news company that is losing its ass a lil more daily? We were talking about this in the studio the other day, first off, why is the sound so bad on everything that has to do with TYT's? Invest in good equipment gezzz. 2nd, where are the other turks? Cenk said F em all for MSNBC? TYT's crew has fallen into the, "where are they now," category ...ROFL

  • @AngryStudioEngineer hahaha..i disagree...hes still on tyt via skype though...and msnbc isnt losing its ass...its ratings are as good as ever...if there were no cnn and headline news, msnbc would have fox news type ratings

  • Halperin is the best example of a journalist that protects the government. Halperin behaved the way Cenk said establishment journalist do. Don't believe me? Watch the piece twice. Cenk kicks ass and is unique in TV journalism.

  • TYT's are obnoxious! ...look at all the videos...go AWAY ...no one believes what they say cause its ALL propaganda!

  • @Mixman77 >>>"TYT's are obnoxious!" ....WE AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY! ...how desperate has MSNBC become when they hope for a small handful of TYT followers from YT in order to have at least someone watching them? Okay, we will help them out this one time for free ...STOP LYING, TELL THE TRUTH & guess what? Your rating will come back...if not ...just say bye! BTW, Obama would never lose his popularity for you, the way you have for him! Try to realize, news means nothing if it's fake or all lies!

  • @Mixman77 ahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahah­hahahahhaah..tyt is like the only news that is NOT propaganda

  • @panathabro <<<can you say SUCKER cause you should be able to...being you are the poster child for the worlds biggest sucker. You see, if you had the intelligence to actually research the actual facts, instead of getting your news from a kids video sites like YT, then you might, and I use that term loosely, you might, break out of being the worlds biggest sucker of all time. Go lay under the Cenk poster hanging over your bed Dude ...you cenk groupie! ROFL

  • @Mixman77 ahahahhaha....what the fuk do you know about facts? cenk is the man dont hate....where do you suggest i get my news from than sucker???? please tell me so i too can be enlightened like you

  • Oh... now I'm unrealistic?? Thanks Mark. I expect a good president and good lawmakers to protect me from corporatism. When they don't, I expect the PRESS to CALL THEM ON IT!! I thinks that's realistic.

  • why is this smushed mouth joker on EVERY video? Oh, and the damn bus in the Phillipines...come on dude

  • Two Parties, my rosy, red, behind...get the movie 'The Shooter'. Ned Beatty plays a US Senator and says, "Sides? There are no sides. There's no Sunnis or Shiites; no Republicans or Democrats. There's only haves and have-nots..." Art imitating life. Truth in fiction. Why don't the correct things get done? Because one or another set of SOBs isn't getting their piece of the action. And they contribute more than you can. Any questions?

  • They must be real smart.

  • Obama is trash! I never thought that I would want to back my bags and move to another country. I am black and hate the fact that this is the only guy we could get to represent our race. Damn, leave it to the black man to drop the ball. PS...Obama, where did you purchase those teeth? The candy store?

  • @TellHonestTruth

    oh do shut the fuck up already

  • MSNBC is in the RATINGS CELLAR!! HAHAHH! BYE BYE DEMS IN Nov!! HAHAHH!! BYE BYE HOUSE!! BOO FRIGGIN HOO!!

  • Who is this unknown idiot?

  • FUCK LEFT RIGHT, THE TRUTH IS ALL THAT MATTERS. DIVIDED WE FALL...

  • The CenkTube!!! Go get then Cenk!!

  • I guess weoutube Politics Channel the CENK channel.. No bias on Youtube though, right?

  • Cenk kicks ass!

  • Obama peed on our leg and told us its raining.Now Halpern expects us to thank him for it.

  • MSNBC has mind of it's own alright. His Name is George Soros. Obama is his puppet. MSNBC is their voice.

  • I'm getting tired of looking at this greasy ass monkey. Watch the fat bastard on TV (it will give them a fifth viewer) and leave it off youtube.

  • sounds like the dems are imploding...I thought every one LOVED bo, the greatest thing since sliced bread....what happened?

  • This is a "nontroversey," to use the term Chris Hayes used liberally whilst subbing for Maddow. Mike Barnicle said it best on Morning Joe: Does anybody beside the "professional left" care about Gibbs' criticism? This is a tempest in a teapot for temperamental leftist journalists. The average person doesn't care about Gibbs' slight. And by attacking Maureen Dowd, Cenk only entertains the right, who love to sit back and enjoy some infighting. Dowd reported some inconvenient truths in her column.

  • @GaryPeterson67 <_< Good parrot.

  • Are you guys done with your propaganda yet?

    Amazing how badly these people want our country to be ruled by the government and only the government. Fox, you guys follow fox like robots. You only lean from

    Fox cause you so biased.

  • Cenk wasn't pulling any punches on this one.

    But yeah, he didn't have to be that mean to Mark.

  • why did halperin keep trying to deflect cenk's arguments by just talking about how he's talking too fast?....my guess is because halperin couldn't stave off all those stubborn facts cenk was serving him

  • Cenk simply does not know how to listen.

  • @1kkyu to bullshit

  • Why is that mans face so red? He has an unnatural red lipstache.

  • Fox kick your ass all over the place LOL loser

  • @1HOLLIS Fox news is a JOKE!

    

  • This is why MSNBC is real journalism and Fox is not.  Can you even imagine someone on Fox actually criticizing Bush?

  • @johnedwards1968 Wait so if you criticize Obama that is not real journalism but criticizing Bush is? What a fucking delusional fool you are.. and good job naming yourself after someone who has had an affair while his wife was cancer stricken.

  • @H0VA That's not what I said. If you criticize BOTH Obama and Bush, then it's real journalism. Fox's partisan nonsense is not. If you can't see that, then your blinded by your own biases.

    The name is my own, and it's just coincidental.

  • Cenk ROCKS!!

    :P

    

  • oh man did u feel that silence after he asked about bush. that was epic 

  • @fantasticalNINJA yeah!!

  • I think Cenk did a decit job hosting for Ed, but I think he went too fast. It seemed like he was trying too hard to cram a lot of information into one show. However, I wish Cenk the best of luck!

  • I hate to say it, but that debate was won by neither.

  • I'd love to see Cenk on FOX -- he would kick ass give the Stupid Vote (Fox viewers) something to think about. If Fox wanted to be "balanced" they would hire Cenk or someone like him.

    MSNBC should put Cenk on -- take Rachel off .. Note to MSNBC---- you idiots are boring because you ALL hit the same superficial issue ALL four hours a night. Are you fucking NUTS? Do you have any fucking idea why suck hind tit in ratings?

  • @FilmCriticOne Shouldn't you be in school?

    MSLSD sucks, except for Rattigan, even he is comprimised.

    Your prophet is nothing but a progressive shill, to create division for his master's agenda.

    Ever wonder why most of their time is spent casting stones?

    Wake up dude. This ain't real news.

  • @jag10 FilmCriticOne,is a huge troll.he has 30 + accounts.His main one is RonPaulHatesBlacks.

  • Cenk, you were better off on your podcast. MSNBC is a sinking ship, they took us to war with their lies.

  • @airborne373 "MSNBC is a sinking ship, they took us to war with their lies."

    Point out the "lies", please.

  • @LibertyInProgress Really? OK, When Herr Chris Mathews had neo-con after neo-con on his show saying Iraq had nukes. There are more, if you are not brain dead you can find them easily on this new thing called the internets.

  • Public option produces competition?

    LOL!!!

    Have you ever seen the public works fix a pot hole?

    Competition produces competition, idiot.

    A monopoly does not allow for competition.

    The prison system health care works well.... only because the the slaves are worth more alive than dead in prison, for these private companies.

    It is the opposite for the real world, where half of population is worth more dead than alive, especially if they are an organ donor.

  • @jag10

    #1 the public option was not a monopoly.

    #2 IF it was a total disaster then no Americans would sign up for it and it would die a quiet death.

    You don't seem to understand what the public option was, so I can't take your opinion of it very seriously.

  • @megamarsvin I understand adding more bureaucracy to corruption is poison.

    I'll take my chances with a profit driven insurance company, at least there is a bit of a control filter.

    You want to line up for your red pill and your kool-aid, go for it.

    You want to be RFID chipped and become a lab rat, go for it.

    You want to be sterilized and have your DNA crossed with a pig, go for it.

    Keep banging your drum, you will probably get your wish soon, Dr. Mengele

  • Again you're talking about things that have nothing remotely to do with the public option. How you think the public option would directly result in genocide and crimes against humanity is just mind boggling.

    How many "Dr. Mengeles" does Europe have? Japan? And many of them have single payer, that should be much "worse" than the public option if I listen to you.

    The profit motive has failed. The current US healthcare system has failed. Better face it than stick your head in the sand.

  • @megamarsvin You are right, you have convinced me. The solution is to offer my soul and my children to the benevolent corporate state to do as they wish with my flesh and mind.

    Control is only bad if Monsanto, Pharma, GE, and you, tell me its bad.

    I now see the light, you must be an angel.

    Big brother good.

    Freedom bad.

    Scanning my privates good

    Vitamins bad.

    UN and CFR good.

    Mom and Dad bad.

  • @jag10 Jesus you should apply to be Glenn Beck's sidekick or something. Random conspiracy nonsense with nothing to back it up? You'd fit right in.

  • @megamarsvin

    That is too funny. Let me take two guesses at who signs your paycheck.

    Anyway, the only Beck I watch is what I see on Youtube - "Rightscoop". I find some of his clips entertaining. He is an entertainer. That is a good site.

    The information is all out there, take with a grain of salt.

    Conspiracies exist. The most egregious are the cover-ups.

    I'll put my trust in those who claim their paychecks from ethical, identifiable sources.

    Good luck to you and yours.

  • @jag10 Conspiracies exist. But the people who think they are uncovering them are almost without exception circus clowns. Whether it's Beck or Alex Jones, or whoever.

    As for my paycheck, I sign my own.

  • @megamarsvin Did you miss the point of the video? Nothing really changes, no matter who is in office. No conspiracies here, just a list of things Obama has lied about... Patriot Act. Prosecuting torture. Investigating war crimes against W. N.A.F.T.A Lobbyists, and contributors in the cabinet. 5 Days to read ALL bills before signed, and transparency in general. Health Care debates on CSPAN. See, just because Glenn Beck is bad, does not make Obama good. He sucks.
  • @poopstreek So the government is corrupt, so has every other government on the planet been since the dawn of time. I agree it's terrible but it's been like this for decades, centuries. And if we're talking corruption and waste, Bush/Cheney were probably the worst administration since Nixon, but we didn't hear a peep of this outrage. Did any conservative senator talk about secession? Did we have tea parties screaming armed revolution? Of course not. It's not about that.

  • @megamarsvin

    So, because Bush/Cheney belong in prison, means that Obama does not deserve the next cell? Obama STOLE OUR MONEY AND GAVE IT TO HIS BILLIONAIRE BANKER FRIENDS!!!! The banksters put him in office, and they are hanging out with him at Martha's Vineyard right now, telling him what to do next.

    Obama and Bush work for the SAME people, they are EQUALLY corrupt.

    As far as waste goes, Obama has wasted more money than any president in history, that is indisputable.

  • @poopstreek Are you serious? Bushs 2 wars are what drove up the US Debt and deficit in the first place. Obamas debt is a small % compared to bush. He hasnt even finished his first term and your saying hes wasted the most money. Do you see how absurd that is. And not to mention his non regulatory policies which allowed banks and big corporations to exploit the public and gain even more billions and bring the strongest economy in the world on its knees.

  • @nour1989 Obama's military budget is bigger than Bush's. He has also given more TRILLIONS of dollars to his friends on Wall St. than Bush. I am not defending Bush at all. Obama has already run up more debt than any other president in history. Even BEFORE his first term is up. Obama has taken Bush's corporatist policies, and put them into overdrive.

    Also, unconstitutional wars, AND entitlements are running up the debts. If you can see the corruption in the (R)'s, but not the (D)'s.

  • @nour1989 --If you cant see the corruption in the Democrat party, then you are blind. Just because the Republicans are corrupt, does not give the Democrats a pass.

  • @poopstreek I completely agree. Both parties are bought by corporatists. Its not that i trust obama nor democrats, but i think u cant judge his presidency after just 2 years. Hes got a lot of time left. But your absolutly right, both Ds and Rs are not fighting for the your average americans.

    lol.

    Professional Progressive Robot reading from a script!

  • Wow, this fuckwit thought he could win an argument against Cenk??!! Haha he couldn't come up with one example to counter Cenk. Go home buddy, you just got your ass kicked by TYT nation.

  • look the thumbs up 665 LOL

  • ROFL - Cenk kicked ass!

  • That was a little frustrating. Part of the problem of course is time constraints but Cenk really should've given the guest more of an opportunity to respond instead of constantly talking over him. I get really sick of that really quick. I know Cenk feels strongly about this issue but common courtesy should win out.  That's journalism, that's professionalism.

  • How do they get all these fools on there? All these Dem's he talks to are always defending Obama like he's Jesus. Where are the people who agree and where are the ones with a good argument?

  • I love Cenk, but I wish he would let people respond completely. I like to hear a dialogue, not a monologue. Though, I still admire his passion over the issues.

  • While I tend to agree with Cenk on this, Halpern is correct in that the far-right "crazies" do a much better job toeing the line in support of their candidate. Which is politically helpful to republican presidents.

    Honestly though, considering the amount of money pharmaceutical and health insurance companies donated to Obama's campaign, we shouldn't be surprised that Obama didn't fight for a public option and that the bill came out the way it did. And the financial reform bill is no different.

  • Just be glad we're not dealing with McCain. Voting for a president is more about picking who you would rather NOT have in office, then voting against him. Unless you want to throw your vote away on an independent.

  • As of today, "pwned" will be replaced by "Cenked"

    Halpern just got Cenked.

  • Great commentary Cenk it was honest, intelligent and refreshing to FINALLY hear some cold hard facts on national TV and you didn't even need a chalk board. Obama has unfortunately fallen short of our expectations to the delight of the republicans. He had an unfortunate situation to deal with but we all had his back now he only has 43%. Let's just lower taxes for the rich so they get off their asses and jump start this economy, lets hear it for the fillibuster!!!!

  • Hey, Gibbs!, Count me as part of the institutional left then! I'm a voter. I'm a donor. I'm a campaigner. I'm also with Cenk on this one.

  • So he's pretty much going to get his own show on MSNBC, isn't he?

  • Fuckin A brother!!!

    

  • lol Cenk is pwning da n00bs

  • You always bring up good points, Cenk. The only problem I see is that you should allow the person to have their moment to speak. Even if they were spewing out crap, it's a bit rude to talk over the guest. Watching you do just that left a bad taste in my mouth.

  • @Gambrick I totally agree.

  • @Gambrick Well there's limited time for them to talk, so he pretty much tried to get his own points in, otherwise he might not get to.

  • OMG AAAAAAWESOME!!!!!

  • Dear Cenk,

    YOU. ARE. A .REAL .FUCKING. MAN!

    love america

  • Thumbs up for Cenk back on TYT. This is just me, but I want to see him run his own show, fuck GoDaddy, MSNBC, and Netflix, and let TYT make its own.

  • I read Maureen Dowd's column the other day. It was VERY supportive of the White House, which was actually surprising to me. It was the first time that NY Times had been so transparent in its support of the establishment. There's no way the Times can be labeled as ANY part of the "liberal" media, at least to me. Good job, Cenk!

  • Comment removed

  • Your talking to a Tool Cenk... a fucking tool

  • I know this is a great opportunity for Cenk to be on a well known program like MSNBC but this is getting annoying. He's been filling in a lot lately which I do not mind from time to time but I did subscribe for the TYT not clips from the MSNBC. Plus Cenk is the face of TYT. Without him it's not nice.
