  • Republicans dont have a monopoly on wealthy candidates running for office or wealthy members of Congress who manage to keep getting elected to office. That's why this is a dumb ass reason for being against a candidate. When was the last time a poor man ran for President and won?There aren't too many poor people graduating from Harvard Law School. It's sad when people spend their time worrying about a candidate's personal money, instead of worrying about what politicians are doing with our money.

  • Matthew 19:24

    "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

  • @Redfingers If you want to apply Biblical principles, the Bible also says the borrower shall be servant to the lender. Since half of our national debt is owed to the Federal Reserve, and the other half owed to foreign nations like China. I guess we need to wake up and realize who our masters are.

  • 0:36 - epic

  • lolol i love cenk's impression of the rich

  • No, No...Mr Romney, take off your specially-tailored $5,000.00 suit...you're not meeting with your super-rich contibutors today...put on those faded old blue jeans of yours so you can make some fools in the middle-class think you are like them & actually give a damn about them.

  • @DillonDee1 The thing that I don't see is: Why should he be ashamed of having money?

  • @ishaan212 - He should be ashamed because of the way he earned most of his money.

  • In the US everyone that has a job claims to be "middle class", be it rich guys with waiter at their feet or struggling families. weird.

  • Great video! For more outrage against the "poor unemployed Mitt Romney" check out my video, My Rebuttal to Mitt Romney's "I'm-not-concerned-about-the-v­ery-poor" comment Thanks!

  • Will this guy ever criticize Oprah for being very rich ?

    what is it that Oprah did to deserve to be so rich ?

    why is it ok to be Oprah-rich but so evil to be Romney-rich ?

    americans...americans...you are loooost

  • @tonatep Its how he got rich, And that's not the point of the video, The point is he pretends he doesn't have $250,000,000.

  • @tonatep idiot at least oprah is self made this snob was born rich really really rich he can't relate to the average american unless like him they are also rich the last thing we need is a rich daddy's boy in power remember what happened the last time that happened? war weapons of mass destruction ? the recession ? a dumb president who got shoes thrown at him? so shut it

  • @johnnytijeras You are barking to me...like the dog next door, I can hear you. OK, OK keep Mr. Barak H. in power...America is lost anyway. About Oprah, you have no clue what my point is..and I will not waste my time explaining it anymore. ..USA is falling, hurra ! !

  • The likes are at 911 .......

  • i agree that it would be more of a conspiracy thing if I didn't hear some of the current things he has been saying. Something about allowing companies to discriminate if they feel like it. The two put together scare me as a brown person. Its another thing in his pitch that is based on naive preconceptions . If racism was actually dead like the pundits say then yeah forget about all the civil rights laws everything will be fine.but its not . It's like the belief in the free market that doesnt exi

  • The subtitles are completely off at times.

  • I love how Americans say patronising!

  • Romney is such a tool. Rahm Emanuel is even more of a tool. But they're both massive tools. Fuck the DNC and RNC. Vote Libertarian.

  • That is so insulting. I have $10 in the bank and I'm doing a freelance gig that is supposed to lead to a full-time job. My electricity is going to be turned off if I don't pay by January 4, and I don't know when I'm going to get paid. I have a master's degree, and I have lived in poverty ever since I moved out of my parents' house to get it, and my mom won't let me return. (My dad died in the interim, and my mom thinks I'm stupid for spending what little he left me on rent.)

  • Those young turks are like young wolves, they would do anything to backstab another man

  • Ron Paul

  • cenk's mitt romney laugh impression. lmao.

  • I Think the Media on television doesn't report the reality of Ron Paul's lead !

    I read Yahoo news a Lot & Yahoo is very Democrat/Liberal w/ it's reporters

    I NEVER see even a small group of supporters, much less enthusiastic supporters

    For ANY other candidate other than RON PAUL, & that Venues Anti-Ron Paul,

    Wheres the people voting for Romney & Newt if they're so tied w/ Ron Paul ????

    Somethings amiss in NY city & Washington DC !!! 90% comments ore Pro RP & Hardly a peep from any other :-/

  • Good thing too! Cuz all them rich people are evil!

  • Just one more reason for, Ron Paul 2012!!!

  • Mitt is a hard worker, a great father and husband. He deserves every dime that he has earned. You biased liberal fools are pathetic.

  • @ryanmxn Hey come on calm down, conservatives can also be biased. This country is full of people on one side, then on the other, and a very few people in the middle. There is bias in every direction.

  • Romney is such a tool. Kudos Cenk, Bravo Aslan, Afferin! You make us Turkish Americans proud to be both American and Turkish by speaking the truth. May the light of liberty shine bright for you, my friend.

  • Most gov't employees make shit for a living. The reason they put up with it is the steady work and the promise of a decent pension.

    But those pensions are in danger as the full scope of financial malfeasance by the gov't comes to light.

  • Did you know that Mitt Romney father is full blooded Mexican? Google it!

  • @royaladam well obama is kenyan and you worship him.

  • Mitt is bulldozing down his $12 MILLION DOLLAR beach house.

    It's just not big enough for him.

    He's replacing it with a $30 MILLION DOLLAR beach house.

    Who the hell is Willard trying to fool?

  • since when was being rich a bad thing?

  • @MrAhhh112 its called lying about being middle class. its easy to live rich and hard to live middle class so its insulting

  • @Ioganstone yeah insulting because you are jealous. look im from the middle class and i dont look at the rich people and say "i hate that guy because he has more money i do". rich people are rich because know how to make money. if you look at other poorer countries, life here is a lot easier here, even for the poor. they are looking at us saying the same things that we middle class people are saying to the rich. unfortunately its human nature to always demand more so we think life so hard here.

  • @MrAhhh112 and next you'll say, herp derp Be thankful because they're the job creators!

  • @Ioganstone haha your just pissed off cuz your a self centered spoiled person and im not.

  • @MrAhhh112 I think you have it the other way around, but whatever troll

  • @MrAhhh112 I feel the need to chime in here, because, as the son of 1) an inspector that services nuclear power plants all over the world and 2) an advocate who compiles report data for the Department of Labor I know more about two things than you do: A) how to create jobs, and B) how the rich make money.

    First of all, the notion that the super rich make a lot of money because they're educated is baloney. Most of them are awarded honorary degrees AFTER they're rich.

  • @MrAhhh112 Read the title and listen what Cenk says. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being rich.

  • I think a Mormon would make a very good President. remember he donated his salary when he was governor of Massachusetts.

  • Please.... as a government contractor employee I can say that yes government employee make more then the outside.

  • Your rich person impersonation makes me laugh cenk

  • What do Romney and Paul videos have in common? Ron Paul supporters, that's what. RON PAUL 2012 !!

  • @SuperMagnetizer so you don't mind that he is racist?

  • @MonaLisaSmiles56 False accusation, show evidence

  • @ElJefer the newsletters?

  • @MonaLisaSmiles56 Most of the ones people call racist were written by James B. Powell, there were may other writers on staff. It's more of a conspiracy theory than evidence.

  • @SuperMagnetizer Yeah Mitt Romney wins real polls while Ron Paul supporters say shit shit about Romney on the internet.

  • @SuperMagnetizer Their spam to be precise

  • Mitt Romney strapped his dog to the roof of his car for a long road trip--now thats who we need to run our country! sigh.....

  • Mitt Romney is a manipulating machine like the rest... Ron Paul!!

  • Hank Paulson sold his $500 million in Goldman Sachs stock when he became Treasury Secretary TAX FREE (about a $200 million profit TAX FREE). He later pushed the AIG bailout that went directly to ......Goldman Sachs. Big surprise! They can get away with anything now. They steal billions right in front of us and we do NOTHING.

  • I find the phrase, "do basic bible study and you'll see mormonism is a crock of shit.", to be highly ironic. Anyone else get that?

  • RON PAUL HAS GOT MY VOTE!!

  • I still think Mitt Romney will do a better job as president.

  • hahahaha, anyone who votes for someone else besides ron paul is an idiot. mitt romney is a total fucking COWARD, a cripple asked about using medical marijuana for MS, and romney walks away like a total pussy piece of shit. HES A DAMN MORMON FOR GODSAKE! you people really want an IDIOT MORmON RUNNING OUR COUNTRY? oh jesus christ we're fucked if this mormon is elected. HE BELIEVS THAT SATAN IS BROTHERS WITH JESUS AND THAT MAGIC UNDERWEAR PROTECTS HIM! hahahahhaha, oh my, hahaha, idiot MORmON!

  • romney is a stupid LOSER.

  • MItt Romney was refering to the people. Mitt Romney is one of us, he may have a lot more money, but he is one of us.

    MItt romney 2012

  • Mitt romney 2012!

  • @ChristianPhysicist hahaha shutup you MORMON loving piece of shit. do basic bible study and you'll see mormonism is a crock of shit. you support a COWARD! hahaha

  • @burtontoker Ron Paul rejects Evolution.

    What an educational disgrace for someone that is suppose to be a Physician, didn't he take some Biology classes??

    Anyways, you and Ron Paul believe in talking donkeys, and Ron Paul rejects Evolution.

    I am not voting for that silly guy.

    "the Bible a collection of honorable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish" -- Albert Einstein

  • This guy acts like being rich is a bad thing. Success is a good thing. If this guy were 1/20 as smart as Mitt Romney he would shut his fat mouth. If you are a republican vote for Mitt Romney. You may not like everything about him but most people see he is the best republican candidate. He is the only one that has a shot at beating Obama. Just look at the polls. Every other republican will get killed.

  • @1kemistry I'd pick Huntsman over Romney.

  • @1kemistry You need to look at the polls. Among independant voters Ron Paul is the only candidate who beats Obama. Nice try though. Next.

  • A CREATURE OF THE UNDER WORLD

  • I'm supporting Ron Paul, the most principled public servant of our time. President Paul will accept a salary of $39,000, the median American wage.

  • how bout u quit insulting ours and tell america y ur candidate is better?

  • DUDE GOD BLESS YOUR PARENTS! I TOTALY AGREE MITT ROMNEY IS A FLIP FLOP WHO LEFT HIS WIFE TO RAISE 5 KIDS , POOR THING GOT SICK, BUT NOT ONLY THAT HE LEFT HIS DOG ON A HWY FOR 12 HRS , REPUBLICANS HAVE NO MORALS THEY LOVE WARS . MITT ROMNEY HIRED ILLEGALS TO CUT HIS GRASS WHATS WRONG WITH AMERICAN STUDENTS? WHY NOT HIRE A POOR STUDENT? I DONT WANT ANYMORE BUILDINGS COLAPSING LIKE TWIN TOWERS, AMERICA I AM BEGGING YOU DO NOT VOTE FOR REPUBLICAN, TERRORISTS HATE BUSH AND HIS FATHER, WAKE UP PEOPLE!

  • CAN MITT ROMNEY SERVE TWO MASTERS? The Mormon Church Versus the Office Of The Presidency of the United States of America.

    It’s a must read if we are going to stop this flaming liberal dressed in Republican clothing. He has such deep pockets and has spent all of his time for the last 6 years raising money and greasing the palms in turn for their financial and grass roots and media support. Please spread this book far and wide in order to stir the American people to the truth on Romney.

  • romney is a LOSER.

  • MITT IS RIGHT ...ON THE REAL...GOVERMENT EMPLOYEES(SENATORS CONGRESSMEN)(SUPREME JUDGES)MAKE... WILL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY...

  • Hey I'm Mitt Romney. I'm just like you! Only I have friends on Wall Street and I don't smell like a hippie.

  • Fuck man, Mitt is so rich he could afford to get his servants servants, but that is too charitable, so he wouldn't ever do that.

  • They all do this crap! Jerry Brown drove around in a beat up old car when he was governor of California in the '70's! This nonsense knows no party affiliation--- it's all politics!

  • A presidential campaign cost 1.5 billion dollars, and how much do you think Obama is making. Also how much did that watch and ring cost you buddy. Maybe you should look inward for the lies, and you aren't wearing a tie either, trying to show that your like one of us.

  • Only Romney would paint himself as the one of the 99%. The man is a clown.

  • While you may be right in your reactions, Cenk, we have to be very clear about the context in which Romney said those things. Although, hypocrisy among politicians is something that is totally disgusting..I do like Romney, I hope he realizes that being authentic is much more important and admirable than being otherwise..

  • Of course they make so much money. In Greece!

  • Princess Mitt is a lying, flip-flopping scumbag.

  • Romney eats the shit out of his own ass.Why would anyone vote for a bitch like him?I don't believe there are people that stupid!!

  • @oprichniki12 The only people who are excited about Romney is FOX News, MSNBC, and CNN....Time magazine..etc...When they say he`s the frontrunner...it is a lie. Look at the wikipedia straw poll results for 2012..

  • @Thrashaero Good idea..get the hell out of here...and carry the scum media, and scum government with you....

  • Just youtube ''Mitt Romney - Who Let the Dogs Out?'' .. This is why nobody can be enthusiastic about this guy, he just can't do it, no, he can't even fake it.. He isn't brain-dead like Cain or Bachmann but he's just soooooo lame.. I've yet to see one person who's excited about him running for presidency..

  • A typical politician....a liar...but he is a "conservative liar" he thinks he's smart when he is not, he pretends to have faith in the free markets when he supports monopolies and oligopolies...he pretends that de-regulation will improve the economy when in reality it will only defer the current crisis to a later date.....he pretends to an average joe when he lives in a 200 million dollar home.....how sad that many are easily fooled by scum like him

  • IS HE WEARING HIS MAGIC UNDERWEAR !!

  • Mitt is BULLDOZING down one of his beach houses - one worth $12 million dollars -- to put in another bigger house worth $30 MILLION

    YEP, HE'S MIDDLE-CLASS -- LOL

  • mitt has servants chew his food for him.

  • Jeez...Some douch bags will switch sides just to get votes!

  • fuck mitt rommmney

  • TYT is the lib equivalent of Fox....

  • @Aggiesgigem point?

  • @Thrashaero It gets under my skin to see "news" outlets be so biased...

  • @Aggiesgigem it gets under my skin to see people complaining about a bias that is well deserved. pointing out how much of a phony Romney is isn't some sort of arbitrary, political bias. it's simply common sense bias. something fox has none of, and very few news stations bother engaging with in return. besides, this is more of an opinion show where they talk about the news, not just report it. and if you want to call that bias, where are they wrong? don't just criticize with weasel words.

  • @Aggiesgigem

    What? fox news uses facts?

    That bubble your living in must be amazing.

  • @DarthVantos Huh? Take your blinders off, TYT is the liberal spin kings!

  • @Aggiesgigem Not really sure what you mean by that. Does TYT lie? Does TYT only attack Republicans? Does TYT earn it's revenue from global corporations?  No, no and no. Exactly what is the equivalence between TYT and Fox News?

  • @labrat1807

    They both have a bias, but at least TYT cites sources for their stories

  • @labrat1807 Well TYT isn't always honest.. It's best not to get all your news from TYT.

    I'm still a massive fan.. I just double-check facts sometimes.

  • both my parents worked for the fed, when I was growing up. To say they made too much is asinine.

  • TELL EM CENK!!!!!!

  • 0:37 lol

  • It's so frustrating that most people would need several lifespans worth of hard and honest work to even get to ONE million, while clowns like Mitt Romney have so much money that they can't even appreciate it anymore. Whoever calls for legislation in favor of that (I'm looking at you Republicans) must be a heartless lunatic.

  • That Mormon fag didn't even tithe all the 10% of what he's made.

  • Can someone explain to me why Lindsey Graham isn't running for president?

  • @VTFreestyle224 Because Lindsey Graham doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hell? He couldn't get the GOP nod because he's about as moderate as it gets in the modern republican party.

  • @calthopian And because he's moderate is the reason that he should run. But you're right, and it's sad that this country doesn't accept moderatism as a legitimate viewpoint.

  • @VTFreestyle224 I'm almost to the point where I'd like to fucking get the hell out of this country...and watch the scumbag south, midwest, etc. conservatick fucktards with zero valid education burn themselves down to the ground from rooting for so many evil candidates and ruining everything with such horrible policies. and then if it comes to them spewing their armageddon shit all over the rest of the world, the world takes up arms and puts bullets through their zombie heads.

  • Look at Ron Paul, he is REAL! RON PAUL 2012!

  • WASTE OF SKIN

  • If the teabaggers suddenly loved gays, Mitt would find a cock to suck in front of the cameras.

  • No one became a Teacher, Fire Fighter, or Policeman to get rich.

  • @siloria wtf?! i spent all this time going through the police academy and NOW someone tells me i can't get rich from it?!

    FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUU--

  • RON PAUL

    nuff said

  • Ten years ago, Democrats were left wing, and Republicans were right wing.

    Now, Democrats are right wing, Republicans are fascist.

    Very important note: I am not calling anyone a Nazi! Fascists are authoritarian, and although they were originally neither left nor right wing, they evolved into extreme right wing. I'm not accusing the Republicans of genocide, or even racism. I'm saying that Republicans want complete control and nationalism, even more so than during the Bush years.

  • @BrandonSchleifer Ron Paul doesn't want complete control and nationalism. He wants the opposite of that. Look him up, he is running for president.

  • @DP3mo24hofosho In the words of Jon Stewart: "Ron Paul... [is] certainly capable of winning his party's nomination, but the Republicans ain't his party!"

    Ron Paul may think he's a Republican, and he may have been considered Republican twenty years ago, but today, he's more left wing than the Democrats. If Ron Paul wins the Republican nomination, it will be a massive victory for the progressive left, and I will do a victory dance.

  • @BrandonSchleifer I hate to break it to you, but Ron Paul is FAR from being a left-leaning anything. If Mr. Paul had his druthers, he'd dismantle the Dept of Education, Dept of Labor, the EPA, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and The Civil Rights Act of 1964. Those are just the things I can name from memory. Paul is a Libertarian, not a Liberal. There's a huge difference...

  • @cing5000 Libertarian versus authoritarian is how much the individual is regulated. Liberal versus conservative is how much the corporation is regulated. Ron Paul doesn't want to regulate corporations or people. Fascists want to regulate people, not corporations. People like Stalin want to regulate people and corporations. I want to regulate corporations, not people. Since corporations are deregulated anyway, I'd rather have Ron Paul over the Fascists. Then, at least gays can marry.

  • @BrandonSchleifer Interesting assessment...silly and ignorant but interesting. You should read more. LOTS more. Good luck to you.

  • @BrandonSchleifer

    He's more left wing than the democrats?

    I almost don't even know how to respond to that statement, it is almost like you said that the Sun is the coldest place in our galaxy.

    The only reason why the republicans don't support him, is because he actually IS a conservative. He wants ACTUAL conservative laws, not just laws which make the rich richer.

    He wants to massively shrink government, and doesn't believe in evolution.

    Where is the evidence for him being more left of the dems

  • @ViciousRanger Ron Paul is a conservative libertarian, the only conservative libertarian in the Republican party. From my point of view, the Democrats are turning into conservative libertarians. I have to look far off into the distant right to see any US politicians. In the sense that the left tends to be more libertarian, Ron Paul is more left wing than the Democrats. Whether he truly is left of the Democrats, I can't tell. I'm from a country that actually is progressive.

  • @BrandonSchleifer well, he is really a conservative, he is as conservative as it gets, which is opposite of progressive. hopefully the republican party will wake up and realize the consistent conservative they always wanted is standing right in front of him, but i have a bad feeling that will not happen.

  • @DP3mo24hofosho If progressive is the opposite of conservative, then why is the official opposition in the Ontario Provincial Government called the Progressive Conservative Party?

  • @BrandonSchleifer The progressive conservative party? lol. what a stupid name.

  • @DP3mo24hofosho - Not really. There have been progressive-leaning conservatives all over the industrialized world historically, even in the US. For example, Ike Eisenhower was a progressive-leaning conservative Republican. Same with Richard Nixon, to a degree (he was progressive on some economic issues but was very conservative politically and socially). Nixon even once said "We're all Keynesians now".

    It sounds weird today though because the American GOP has chased out moderates since Reagan.

  • Seriously. Your argument holds much more panache when you don't censor yourself.

  • My parents are both hard-working, honest government employees who pay their taxes and live within their means. They've dedicated their lives to the educating the youth in this country and Mitt Romney, like the pompous ass that he is, complains that they're making too much money (they make about $60,000 each), yet he'd do anything to make sure that millionaires and billionaires, Wall Street crooks can continue to make money off the back of the middle class. Real class act.

  • Cenk's rich guy laugh sounds like Buzz Killington's laugh from Family Guy.

  • again Cenk lies

    government employees make far more than people with similar qualifications in private industry, plus they have far better job security, pensions, healthcare, perks, benefits

    btw Romney does not earn $250M as cenk claims, that's his net worth

  • mitt romney reeks with fake....

  • Damn, I wish I was an "unemployed" presidential candidate with $250,000,000. I could get by for nearly a year with all that money.

  • @zowxon Me too. Shit, I think I might be able to stretch it out for two years if I was really careful.
