  • The guy on this show is a dick head.

  • lol, how wrong is this

  • Watching this in 2011. I thought the title was sarcasm

  • did work out did it

  • These young turkish fools are eating their words now. haha

    

  • OMG, my 6 year old daughter has a better grasp on politics than this Demobot.

  • HUNTSMAN 2012!!!

    THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHOSE WISDOM IS ABOVE PARTY POLITICS.

  • Cenk wasn't entirely wrong here, but ol Huntsman quit his post and is running now anyway - good for him. At least if Huntsman wins the RNC candidacy America might be treated to actual debate instead of shit-slinging and ad hominem nonsense devolving to labelling everyone under the sun as either a Nazi, Stalinist or Maoist. I wonder how much people REALLY understand about what those terms mean in their historical sense as opposed to the GBeck sense of it....?

  • If the entire republican party was like John Huntsman(moderate) I'd actually consider voting for them.

  • Obama, go away, just go the fuck away.....And take congress with you.......Both sides....

  • @thesparitan "your wrong"

    *you're

  • obama will not win in 2012. his approval rating is shit. lots of people regret voting for him

  • Its funny and sad that people still think that Democrats and Republicans are two different parties.

  • @LibertyOrDeath00 agreed

    all in same basket

  • Comment removed

  • Positive side:Obama has one less conservative to deal with

    Negative side:With that conservative guy over there Fallout 3 might happened 0_0

  • Let's see -- it's been over a year now. Do you still think a right-winger can't possibly defeat the Nitwit-in-Chief in 2012? You numbskull!

  • @jsm555 Well, I do because the republicans are still a bunch of racist retards.

  • @hughes7520 i agree with u as well

  • I couldn't give Obama the credit for this. 'Not smart enough.

  • Obama has sure proven to be full of perfect political moves...

  • This idiot loves obama......poor guy nothing obama does will work nothing. Thats what he was put into office for. Why dont you run for president your just a bright as he is.

  • if you lstend to the jewsh dog mongol turks, than yo ll be a cow gader, wth ther ltle gentile bran.

    talk lke womens the jewish dog turks.

  • I hope everybody remembers this because what Cenk just said will come back to bite us all in the ass...Guaranteed.

  • Jon Huntsman seems like a great individual, fluent in Mandarin and Taiwanese, what more could you expect from an ambassador to China?

  • Jon Huntsman for President 2016!

  • The Republican will win for sure

  • I do not believe Obama has a chance in twenty twelve

  • Hong Bopei's Chinese is very awkward sounding.

  • Jon Huntsman... Candidate in 2012? I seriously doubt it. But nice try though...

  • This guy would suck off Obama if he could, but would probably settle for Olbermann if he had to. How about Obama's brilliant political move to quadruple the deficit?

  • No thats with the last President did with a surplus.

  • Brilliant???????????? UM....ok. lmao

  • um it is........ what are u talking about astarspangledgirl?

  • mc donalds basically IS in charge of setting the country's nutrition standards.

  • these political thingies are making my brain twitch =[]

  • The greatest myth of this administration is the B.O. is brilliant. B.O. has never owned his own business, never created a job, never met a payroll, knows nothing about energy and knows nothing about medical or health care, he is a fool!

  • yeah man, u tell em, god bless sarah palin 2012

    (lol)

  • your wrong

  • This asshole looks like he is readings from a fortune cookie.

    btw: I could give Obama a run for his money now.

    Moving opponents across the world is hardly a brilliant political move..... lol

    this guys an absolute jack ass

  • @loffredo91 care to elaborate on that??

  • Employment numbers went through the roof and inflation plummeted upon Huntsman landing in China. Thank You President Obama.

  • what an idiot

  • Please everyone! On you tube go to Sarah Obama Reveals Obama was Born In Kenya. See and hear what his own grandmother said, that he loved so much. By the way she died shortly after this.

  • Nobody gave Oboma nothing, Oboma couldn't wait to take over this country. He has had money printed, borrowed money that he can't afford to pay back and I don't care if your white, pink, or blue, he wants you to pay his dept. Ask Oboma if he'll pay off your bills or if you can print your own money! I bet you would go to Jail. Check out Obomas grandmother on you tube. Find out what your playing with. Listen to what she said about his birth place because she was there when he was born. He has lied

  • Who cares where he was born? That shouldn't have anything to do with any government.

  • Seriously... take a minute and think "why would it matter where someone is born as it relates to being elected President of a country?" Let me know what comes to you. I look forward to hearing what does.

  • I can think of nothing. Somebody born in the country can be a total dumbass and not know anything about it, really; some foreign-born person can know more about that nation and its government than anybody else on earth. Tell me who's more qualified to run the government (given that their intentions are benevolent).

  • Sorry to have taken so long to reply.

    You honestly can't think of any reasons why it might be a bad idea to allow persons of foreign birth to be elected President?

    Would you appoint McDonald's CEOs to be in charge of setting the country's nutrition standards? Of course not. But why? Because their deepest tendencies and allegiances are toward their business and/or personal gain.

    Allowing foreign born individuals to become President is way too high a risk to national interests.

    USA born.

  • But you must think (and I do not wish to start a swear-war; those are terrible). McDonald's CEO's are adults -- perhaps not mature, but at least adults -- and have their loyalties in their bank accounts and pockets (most of them). But if a person is born outside of the US and moves here at a young age, as Obama MAY HAVE BY A SMALL CHANCE, their loyalties can change. It was proven that Obama was at least in America by the age of five, and was raised by his grandparents, both proud, patriotic Amer

  • icans. Do you think a five year old raised in such a free, american loving environment would grow up to have allegiances and tendencies elsewhere? I came to America when I was two, and my allegiance is completely with America. I still have nostalgia for my country of birth, but given the choice I would support America in any competition. War, of course, is another story. What I think is right or wrong. Please reply, I do enjoy philosophical discussions.

  • All things considered, there's nothing that can predetermine where someone's ultimate allegiances will lie. Including where they're born. Only that individual harbors the potential to make those choices.

    But allowing a foreign-born individual to become President is ASKING for problems in the areas of national security and international politics.

    If the world was comprised of essentially like-minded countries with essentially like-minded citizens, this wouldn't be an issue obviously.

  • Excuse me?! Would you like to explain to me and everyone else why you feel it necessary to pretend you know me well enough to assign a negative name to my person?!

    The above sentiment was purely conjectured reasoning. Not to mention rational, logical and reasonable.

  • @Lastman0nEarth

    If you could please point out where exactly I expressed that I thought Obama wasn't born in the US that would be great.

    Oh, right... I never did. But, hey, thanks for assuming I've been *talking* about the topic as if the act itself means I must believe he was born outside of the US.

    Reread what I wrote. Maybe a little slower this time. And you'll realize no where have I expressed that's what *I* believe. Just why the law exists.

  • @Lastman0nEarth

    "Allowing foreign born individuals to become President is way too high a risk to national interests."

    That's the full quote from my previous comment that you're trying so hard to decontextualize.

    So, where exactly do I say that I think Obama was born outside the US?

  • @hypeisdead So you really think Obama wasn't completely checked out before becoming President? You think our government would put a non-American in office? Really?...... Come ON Son! Please tell me your not that dence! who makes people like you?

  • @lordcron

    No.

    No.

    You make people like me. Cause whoever you think I am doesn't actually exist.

    You and Lastman seem to have some kind of contextual comprehension problem. Reread what I wrote. Slower. And you'll realize I was only expressing why the law exists.

  • It makes him "appear" bipartism.  Great when libs admit it is an act.

  • I don't know why I click on "TYT" links.

    *rub temples*

  • yeah, it's so brilliant.

    ya think obama could fix the economy now?

    ya think obama could stop spending money like a drunken...um... congressman?

    just asking.

  • ya think it takes more then a year to fix the economy obama can't just go "LOL GUISE I GIVE YOU ALL MONEHS AND EC0N0ME IS FIXED"

  • xsniper7895

    a year? LOL!

    obama's mess will take decades to recover from, maybe more. obama has done all the wrong things at the worst possible time. he has spent more $ then all previous presidents from 1789 unitl now. obama claimed unemployment would not reach double digits, now they are back tracking because michigan is projected to hit 20% unemployment.

  • It's not and never was "Obama's mess".

    Imagine being hired to run a company and you're replacing someone who did a very poor job of doing so. Would you be blamed for the company's problems even while you were trying to fix them? Not likely. So why do you simply regurgitate what you've heard instead of realizing he had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CURRENT SITUATION. He's been in office for, what, a few months?

    And Obama doesn't manage Michigan. So blame Michigan's gov't if anything.

  • Actually, the policies of the past 30 years, namely the push for affordable housing - a democratic party issue - is at the heart of this mess. a recent house of rep report places the blame squarely where it belongs. if you also watch the cspan hearings on freddie and fannie you will see that despite efforts by repubs the dems thwarted attempts at common sense regulation. combine this with the repeal of glass steigel under clinton, some changes in accounting - yeah it's a democrat mess.

  • No it's the democrats always fixing what the Republicans messes up causing a tug and war with our economic policies that got us where we are

  • @Omega231984 really?

  • @magdamagda999

    It still doesn't make it strictly HIS "mess".

    And what do you mean by including "the push for affordable housing" in your statements?

  • another brilliant observation by this genius, would be great if he could point out the fact that the govt. is in the process of taking over freedom and liberty, but Obama is "brilliant" for calling on Huntsam to be the ambassador to China.... yeah, huntsman is seen as weak here in Utah, did a commercial with other governors about "global warming" and appears to be apparently part of the problem with politics. this TYT dude is fairly lame, would you not agree?

  • your lack of knowledge and arrogance amuses me. im gonna be honest you really destroy your credibility when you jump on this obama conspiracy it just makes you sound like a retard.

  • bremenavaron21

    i am not sure what lame conspiracy you are referring to, but all i can say is that obama is looking to be as bad as jimmy carter - or worse.

    obama is destroying the USA. he is bankrupting this country.

  • obama is bankrupting the country the country is already bankrupt

  • no george bush bankrupted before Obama even became president, preety much Bush fucked up the country and then gives the pile of shit to Obama

  • Actually, the money crisis started with Reagan and all the money and aid given to right-wing religious nuts in foreign countries such as Iran and Afghanistan, as well as the installation of non-democratic dictators in Latin America.

  • please shut the hell up are you black or do you just enjoy talking out of your ass

  • You don't like Jimmy Carter?!!!???!! You fucking cunt!

  • Both Dem's and Rep's have bought into the socialist system. Conservatism is based in truth, the Constitution and love for the INDIVIDUAL. We believe every INDIVIDUAL has the ability to succeed and prosper if not hampered by an oppressive government. Race and relegion plays no part for true conservatives. We see AMERICANS that are capable and industrious. They are limitless if not hampered by an oppressive and burdensom government! We are NOT groups or classes. WE ARE AMERICANS!!

  • Wow, we seem to have some philosphies in common. You, like I, believe in TRUE American ideals, not liberalism or this phony conservtism.

  • HUURR 'MURIKA IS GREAT

  • I have been watching some of the posts the "youngturks" have been posting. Just another leftist organization spewing bull crap from the socialists. John McCain WAS the reason the Repubs lost. Conservatives live by principles and values, therefore, it is impossible to be "moderate". Progressives, leftist's or whatever you rename "socialism", govern by wants and desires, hardly worth building a foudation upon.

  • A moderate can NOT beat obama. Why? Because democrats vote for democrat even if a blue dog runs for office on the democratic ticket.

    McCain lost because he's been against the conservatives since about the same second he was elected. He didnt attack obama for any of the crazy, crooked past he has (I live in Chicago, I see it FIRST HAND, he didnt do a damned thing here for anyone).

    The republicans will win as soon as they get another conservative. Send Ron Paul to the gym + make him pro-war. WIN

  • It's like a chess game.

  • theres no such language as chinese... Common misconception. The languages spoken are Kantonese, Wu, and Mandarin :)

  • Who funds this?

  • Obama is a socialist, The closest thing to a communist that this country has seen in office. He is destroying our ecomomy by bringing us into more debt. How is he being praised by anyone? If he was doing his job he'd let the free market decide interest rates which in turn would detur spending when rates were high and reward saving and in turn increase the value of the dollar. Obama hasn't changed anything other than spending more money than any office prior.

  • where the hell do you get your information? the deregulation of the markets, otherwise known as the free market, is what got us into this mess in the first place. also even if Obama was a socialist our constitution states that we are a Republic, thus the united states is not going to be a socialist country.

    Dont judge people by their lables. you remeber Abe Lincoln . Did you know he was as close to a dictator this country has ever seen? yet he is one of the most celeberated presidents of all.

  • How was Abe Lincoln a dictator? You would have to explain that one.

  • I forgot the exact reasons but he made brash desicions like throwing people with oposing ideas in jail and denying people their rights. And i said he was close to a dictator not a dictator.

  • Not to be argumentative, I have simply never heard of anything like that. I also feel obliged to mention that people that opposed good old Abe's views were slave owners. He also gave a lot of people their rights. I'm simply confused by your stance on that and was only hoping for a factual statement to back it up.

  • my point was that great people become great because of their actions not because they were socialists/democrats/republica­ns. it was just an example of why he should not bash Obama for being socialist. my stance is that yes he was a great president and without him alot of things would be amiss.

  • From what i've seen his actions don't seem to be all that great. If he was different from anyone else that has been in office i'd aplod him. He spends too much, taxes are raising, the dollor from what i can see is only going to depreciate and all our jobs are over seas. This country needs change and now, just not the change he has had to offer so far. Please give me examples of what good he has done in your mind.

  • they were in civil war and if u wer not with the union u could have been a spy so better safe then sorry

  • So this video is basically all about how Obama is using his position as President to make political moves instead of doing what is best for the United States of America??? Thanks for letting us know who Obama is really looking out for.

  • Exactly, that all he seems to be doing as president, playing politics.

  • Is this guy for real? This show is a joke.

  • Your clear reasoning and supporting evidence makes your view difficult to refute.

    .. oh...wait.

  • Ok, let me spell out what I thought was obvious. TYT is going way over the top calling this a "brilliant" move on Obama's part. Way over the top. That should should be a hint for anyone. The truth of the matter is that John Huntsman has been considered for this appointment for a while, but was hated by the neocons. There was discussion with McCain about the appointment. Huntsman is very qualified and the obvious choice. This has nothing to do with "brilliance" and just fell in Obama's lap.

  • I see a "begging the question" fallacy, and conflicting semantics. So:

    1. Cenk "going over the top" is a hint as to why he shouldn't go over the top. That was just such a pathetic attempt at logic.

    2. Semanticaly speaking if you have a brilliant candidate for a post don't you call the appointment brilliant? The antithesis is calling a poor appointment when the candidate was poor.

  • Comment removed

  • What in the world are you talking about? 1) when someone is "over the top" that is a hit that they are bias towards something. I hope that is clear enough for you 2) when something falls in your lap (happens to work out by chance) that is hardly your brilliance. Stop trying to be argumentative, you're not that smart. Now do something productive with your life and leave me alone.

  • Now that is one of the funniest vids I've heard! Wow! Might want to tell the view on the other side.

  • has this show been picked up by comedy central yet?

  • "Makes Obama appear bipartisan."

    Glad to at least hear you admit that Obama's touted bipartisanship is nothing but a facade.

    Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled Obama worship and liberal propaganda show.

  • Interesting...what's so liked about Huntsman by the Chinese?

  • not that impressive. Obama isn't that great, how much you want to make a bet Rahm Emanuel was behind this.

  • So the news is that Obama is a cutthroat politician? Did anyone not know this?

    Also, I love how you prescribe this motive that he wants to improve the Republican party - that is bullshit and you are simply stating what you want to believe.

    If we really wanted to reform the Republican party then we would've elected McCain, instead we got the "black guy" (change).

  • electing mccain would've kept the republican party the same, so by not electing mccain would be a desire to reform the republican party

  • That's just revisionism. McCain was beloved by the media since he wasn't a typical republican - until he dared to challenge an actual democrat for office.

    The fact of the matter is that McCain's record often matches his rhetoric (unlike Barack). He'd have brought Republicans back to fiscal conservatism (which we desperately need) and would've turned them on to environmentalism/energy independence.

    Instead you guys elected a crooked democrat who is doing to the D's what Bush did to the R's.

  • "McCain was beloved by the media since he wasn't a typical republican - until he dared to challenge an actual democrat for office."

    It was McCain that changed, not the media. The McCain of 2000 was a "maverick" and all that stuff. The McCain of 2008 was a sellout; he sold himself to the far right for a chance to become president.

    And his pick of Palin was just another example of that; the McCain of 2000 would *never* have picked Palin as his running mate.

  • McCain didn't change - just the perception of him, and you can thank the media for that. And Palin really wasn't that bad - she did a damn good job in Alaska.

    Again, left-wing blogs and people like Keith Olbermann distorted who she was so they could get their boy elected.

  • or they saw her interviewed and made an opinion, he chose her so he wouldn't lose the religious right vote; if mccain would have won most of his haters wouldn't be saying any of this shit, its almost like you're pissed at him for losing

  • lol, they saw her interviewed and made an opinion? I suggest you google "palin gibson" and then look at the newsbusters link - they edited her interviews to make her look bad. Couric did the same thing.

    I'm sorry, but when the media is actively covering up for one candidate, and editing the others to make them look like shit...well,that's not democracy.

  • how the hell can u make someone look bad! you are asking questions!!! im tired of such excuses, just accept defeat stop blaming the media, its ok everyone loses eventually nobodys perfect, its so horrible people are so afraid of responsibility nowadays, if repubs are the party of values, I think they should add not to be a little bitch when someone beats you

  • Ok, I didn't realize you were willfully ignorant - my bad. Next time you should just tell people straight up so they don't bother telling you EXACTLY were to look for information.

    Oh, and I'm not a republican you dumb piece of shit.

  • The media was very bias against McCain. I ended up voting for Obama, but the press was not fair to McCain. For example, on the William Ayers issue, it was the Clintons who had Stephanopoulos raise the issue, getting the info from Hannity. For the most part, the Democrats did not care except when McCain raised the issue, then it was considered dirty politics. McCain was being tortured in Vietnam while Ayers was blowing up U.S. buildings. If anyone had a legitimate concern, it was McCain.

  • I doubt you voted for Obama. You sound like a Palinite to me. I didn't dislike McCain - I didn't understand his judgement with picking Palin for his ticket. Being tortured all by itself does not make you Leadership material - though absolutely he was a hero. I would salute him now if I saw him. However, if you've ever had the misfortune to be commanded by a poor leader, you start thinking less like a political robot. Most servicemen and women prefer Obama. What does that tell you.

  • You're an obvious nut case.

  • lol can i say smack the right way :D Well said

  • What servicemen and women are you talking to?

  • The presumption that a "right-wing" cannot beat Obama in 2012 is patently false. A moderate John McCain had no chance in last election. Americans needs a conservative who is a real conservative to stand up and oppose the President on his socialist/liberal agenda.

    Americans are suffering but are being conned as to what the causes are. Healthcare is in trouble because of the GOVERNMENT. The economy is in trouble because of the GOVERNMENT. The government cannot solve the problems.

  • What has the government done to put healthcare in trouble? Not an insult, I would just like to know.

  • Medicare and Medicaid for starters. Who do you think pays the 20+ percent the Federal government does not pay the providers when they provide treatment to a Medicare patient? This began the spiraling increases in medical costs.

  • Ever wonder why nobody ever heard of this guy? It's because he's a dumb-ass.

  • feel free to point out other selfish democratic ulterior motives. the legalization of illegal immigrants would be a good one to start with.

  • But Who Does'nt Like Pussy ?

  • Everyone thinks that Obama is smart, yet many overlook that smart people make very stupid mistakes; which quite often are overlooked until they've shown themselves to be failures later.

    Example Hillary Clinton and John H. and/or any Republican can still run against Obama in future.

  • Very Clever...

  • Obama loves the Constitution where as Republicans have now destroyed it.

  • Are you from another country? Obama's every move contridicts the constitution. it is the Republicans who are preserving it as long as they can until these socialist democrats try to destroy every amendment our fore-fathers have graced us with... you are a fine example of a dumb Obama supporter

  • Republicans are preserving it? Why do they not like Ha beaus Corpus? Wow no wonder people are leaving your party in droves, Republicans are full of shit and morons.

  • I just wish Obama wasn't doing all the wrong things in office. I'm not saying Bush was a great president, but he was better than Obama right now. Because it wasn't just Bush who got us into this debt, it was the Democrat Congress who ignored everything. And now Obama is just handing out money to corporations and signing off on pointless government programs. We are in more debt with Obama than Bush.

  • CJ: You are sincere....Sincerely WRONG that is. The REPUBLICANS controlled Congress for six years!

    The Republicans had the presidency for 8 straight years, and the Republicans ran Congress for 6 years. So you do the math.

    Bill Clinton handed your boy Bush a $400 billion dollar surplus, and your Georgie Boy turned that into a $4 trillion dollar deficit. Obama is cleaning up the mess that your boy Bush caused ok?

  • Yeah I don't understand why some conservatives can't just admit they were wrong with Bush...or admit they were wrong period that'll be the motherfucking day sheesh.

  • publicatdamagnificen:

    Do you not know who controlled congress for the years you're citing?  Do you not understand the role of congress?

    Look it up. Thanks.

  • I probably have forgotten more about the role of Congress than you will ever know ok?

    Your anger is due to your lack of basic civics. Your problem is based on partisanship; Not objectivity.

    Once you get over your biased partisan mindset, then we can have dialogue!

  • Obama was a creation of pop culture.

    Obama is an empty suit.

  • "Obama was a creation of pop culture.

    Obama is an empty suit."

    LOL

  • like parrots

  • Very true Geetryflb!

  • And Obama is not fixing the economy at all. He's spending more and now we are in more debt. I think if things stay they the way they are right now there will probably be a change in office. Congress needs to come up with a better bailout because it's making businesses lazy.

  • Nuclear Pakistan is about to be taken over by terrorists.

    Iran launches a mid range missile.

    New York attacked again by terrorists.

    And Obama is spending his time running car companies ??????????

    We are doomed !

  • There is a reason why Cain didn't win. We want the economy to be fix. That's the top priority the American have voted.

  • whahah And democrats care more about the swine flu and a couple of terrorist getting waterboarded than any of those.

  • Can you please recommend me some videos to watch in regards to the Pakistan and the Iran scenarios you've mentioned? I guess I have been unaware of this but it caught my interest and I was wondering if you knew of any information on it.

  • Obama is a one term president. Just wait...wait until the smoke clears and America is tired of the overplayed "Bush did it" card. Once America starts making him take responsibility for his actions then it will be a different story.

  • what actions? please clarify? because the reason people blame bush is because they can being factual information to show that bush was irresponsible and overall a terrible president. such as on this show

  • you don't think bush was a terrible president???? Are you living under a fuckin rock?

  • Just like Jimmy Carter, he was the "chosen one" and then was a pussy in office, kinda like obama

  • if bush can get a second term, anyone can.

  • Bush never would've gotten that second term the Supreme Court didn't give him his first...

  • obama doesnt call the shots. wake up.

  • ok, first of all ive never heard of tyt or whatever the fuck this shit is but hes a hell of a better president than bush so boo fuckin hoo

  • This show is pretty much equal for both sides. Maybe a BIT MORE democratic the republican but still. so maybe you should watch a few more videos before making such a rash comment.

  • get your head out of obama's ass you idiot it is a very dirty place. why do you hate capitalism stop feeding the people your socialist communist bullshit!!!!!!!!!!1

  • Peace and love~

  • peace through superior firepower

  • What a great political move by Obama!

    Too bad his presidency is turning out to be a total disaster.

  • How are you measuring it on the disaster scale? The more right-wingers attack him the more popular he gets.

  • @jbrandonf

    It's like the car was headed towards the edge of cliff, then Obama got in the driver's seat put the pedal to the metal.

    So, on the disaster scale, Obama is even worse than Bush. Is that "right winger": enough for your 1-dimensional thinking?

  • Nope, the car had already gone over the edge of the cliff and Obama had the misfortune to take over just before impact. Please don't try to revise history..this economic collapse happened on Bush's watch. Nobody elses.

  • @jbrandonf

    Right. Because that's generally what they say on TV, so it is most certainly must be true. The reality is that all these bailouts, which started in 2008 and are continued in hyperspeed by Obama, are leading the economy to destruction. It doesn't matter whether or not you believe it because it's going to happen anyway. Do yourself a favor and prepare for Weimar Germany style inflation.

  • No scott. Commentators on TV are trying to say exactly what YOU are saying. There are already signs the economy is healing, and I wish I had a way of sending you this exchange in a year or 2 when we've pulled through.

  • @jbrandonf

    Try listening to the people who correctly predicted these problems and how they would play out. Oh, I forgot, every time I hear someone on TV talk about it, they say "no one" knew this was coming. Well that's BS - there were plenty who knew it was coming, and why. But you go ahead and continue listening to the people who talked about how great the economy was right up until fall 2008. Maybe they'll get lucky.

  • You just proved my point. It. was. not. Obama's. fault.

    If they predicted it then the previous Admin. should've done something to avert disaster. I'm listening to people who are saying the same thing I am, that the economy was in a decline the farther we went into Bush's term. I don't know what your argument is here.

  • @jbrandonf

    Those people who correctly predicted the current problems are saying that Obama is doing exactly the wrong things in trying to fix it.

  • Who are these people by the way? I like to do some research. Honestly during the campaign McCain thought that cutting taxes/spending would work but it was Obama who had the economists on his side. The massive spending of WW2 and The New Deal brought us out of the Great Depression, who said it won't/can't work again?

  • @jbrandonf

    Cool, doing your own research is the only way to get to the truth. Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, Tom Woods, and anyone who understands the austrian theory of the business cycle got it right. They have the only coherent explanation, and they were able to
