  • Well... not saying that the president is doing it right or should be any stronger, all I want to say is that the position gives Obama authority if-and-only-if people believe in it, which is not the case. Obama is the president, but he doesn't have the power. Arnold Schwarzenegger, is another example; he had 8 years of time, he knows what should be done in CA, but he cannot make it happened. That's the reality.

  • Ron Paul Please

  • Obama pushes for a public option and i gurantee 100% that health care does NOT pass. Would you rather have the appearance of strength and get nothing or negotiate and get something. I have no doubt that they wanted a PO but not only were the republicans against it, every single one of the blue dogs were as well.

  • Lol i find it funny that some people feel that they can believe everything these people say. If this guy wrote a book talking about how the White House wanted a PO and couldn't get it no one would read. A book criticizing a fairly unpopular president and confirming what people want to hear will sell much better.

  • The bottom line is, if anyone can remember is that the bill with the public option never would have passed! Does anyone remeber that??? I GAURENTEE if Obama had pushed for the public option the health care bill would never have been passed, and a friend of mine would be denied her cancer treatment due to a pre-existing condition. All of this blaming Obama for not getting what we wanted is getting out of hand!

  • @cobrompton That's garbage

    Back before obama kept putting off the vote the public option was IMMENSELY popular

    It only started losing popularity after obitchba gave the republicunts and blue bitch dimocraps time to demonize it as marxist socialist death panels

    Even after months of demonization it was still popular

    Obitchba gave the republicunts time to create the TEAliban

    Also Reid could have made the senate ACTUALLY filibuster not those fucking silent filibusters

  • @dffykvn In hindsight everything looks so easy. You argue that Obama took too long and let the Republicans grandstand, and yet you would have let them filibuster which would have done just that. Whether you like it or not, most Americans are conservative and our legislature reflected that even then. Do you deny this?

  • @cobr You misread me

    Obamas HCR committee had equal #s of blue dogs and republicans

    If it was put straight up to a vote with the silent filibuster REMOVED then the republicans would actually have to speak for a whole day rather than just saying filibuster and the dems moving on

    After two days of non stop speaking they'd give up and let it finally come to a vote

    Filibusters were originally meant to be SPOKEN, speak for 10 hours, not say "I filibuster, the end"

    Thats night and day

  • Comment removed

  • @dffykvn That was the THREAT of a real filibuster. Filibusters are famous for currying public support. That's why they were able to use it as a threat. It's also a reason why it's incredibly hard to get anything passed in the Senate.

  • @cobrompton I deny or rather refute what you wrote because I know the facts. Most Americans are liberal on key issues such as healthcare reform.

  • @MarmaladeINFP Evene the sources you site are inconclusive. For example, the washington post stated "Now, 55 percent say they like the idea, but the notion continues to attract intense objection: If that single provision were removed, opposition to the overall package drops by six percentage points, according to the poll."

    Obama was anticipating (correctly) that there would be massive anti-government thanks to the bailouts. It's all a matter of political climate, Obama did what he could.

  • @cobrompton As far as the configuration of americans across conservative/liberal dividing lines I agree that the numbers of liberals and progressives are increasing. Minorites are increasing, young people are much more progressive and homosexuality is becoming more and more acceptable and liberals have always been on the right side of that issue. However, baby boomers still rule the day and they are extremely suspicious of government. All you have to do do is say the word socialism..........

  • @cobrompton

    "All you have to do do is say the word socialism..."

    Hehe, well I suppose in a twisted bright side, they might die of heart attacks, and that'll solve your baby boomer generation problems once and for all.

  • @MarmaladeINFP ....and they revert back to their childhood instincts to duck under their desks and scream in fear of a Communist USSR warhead that comes in the form of Barack Obama and everything they fear. It's up to us to change this climate, but we do have to accept that this is the climate and not blame Obama for operating within that reality.

  • @cobrompton Part 2

    We aren't blaming obama for not getting what we wanted

    We're blaming him for being stabbed in the fucking back when he sold us out

    He made secret deals with pharma, the hospitals, insurers, the only people who weren't in on it were the public

    We're going to be forced to buy unaffordable private insurance that will most likely be worthless plans

    He could have fought to pass it quickly, but that stupid bitch kept putting it off

  • @cobrompton Part 3

    But good news, Barry the Bitch will keep on making supercommittees, deficit commissions, bi partisan deficit reduction plans, bowel simpson plans and gang of sixes until he finally guts medicare social security and medicaid

    That'll finally show us stupid liberals that he ain't no gosh durn marxist socialist!

    When it isn't election season obama argues for republican positions and tries to pass pieces of the republican agenda

  • I voted for Hillary, this is on you guys.

  • Obama zombies are fucking idiots. They can suck it.

  • "just as we told you" you actually said that was one of many possibilities... shotgun approach deserves no credit.

  • everybody is annoyed at what Obama was able to do and not able to do..what i noticed is that all of ya'll did a lot of talking and none of the keep the foot on the peddle in your face confrontation that we needed , while he was fighting and don't know where ya'll were at. the left went professional complaining about gains they never would have gotten without him..The work is not done , if your scared then go home...STOP BITCHIN

  • The hypocrisy of progressives:

    Prog: Ron Paul is against american imperialism and the war on drugs!

    Me: He wants to eliminate 90% of the government, privatize everything, and doesn't believe in the UN.

    Prog: Yeah I know. But his foreign and drug policy is still great!

    Me: What about Obama? He's the only one running who's domestic policy is center-left.

    Prog: OBAMA??!! HE'S NOT A PROGRESSIVE!!!!... FUCK HIM!!!!!!

    Me: Neither is Ron Paul

    Prog: FUCK OBAMA!!!! AARRGGG!!!!!!

  • Scammed into voting for Obama once, SHAME ON HIM ...

    Vote for Obama a 2nd time ... YOU'RE A DAMNED MORON

  • I wonder how Clinton got impeached for a blowjob when i bet his marriage is all fake but yet Obama passes the NDAA and he is still in office. 

  • @nowwithmorekick who's gonna impeach him? congress agreed with hin

  • @lfranklin27 I'm making a point.

  • They weren't weak. How did we end up with a health plan which is probably the worst of all possible scenarios? (and stop saying it is better than what we had before) Max fat pig Baucus gets nearly all his money form the health industry. Less than 20% of his campaign contributions come from Montana voters. Blanche total slut Lincoln even worse. The whole democratic party is shit. The fucking republicans can scream socialism and call it Obamacare but they love it too.

  • @1corpoaratekochwhore wrong. The "financial" shit was heavily watered down, just like the Healthcare stuff was. In my opinion. They are one in the same

  • Wrong.... they were very strong-kneed! How else do you think they gave so many blow-jobs to Corporate America?

  • @yaminbinbaqui LOL you have a point XD

  • @yaminbinbaqui hmm, I thought we were the ones being fucked.

  • @yaminbinbaqui I love the cowardice of the democratic talkers..all talk no discipline..cant back anything unless its perfect, public option...with conservative democrats, do you really think they were going for it..NO.. we got the best plan we could and it opened the door to do more..makes me beleive ya'll are not built to fight, but to complain...

  • @yaminbinbaqui lol dude~ this is some BAD comment, but it sure did lmao! Which is pretty sad btw ....

  • atleast obama would tax wealthy not like ron P lower taxes for corperates and wealthy

  • alternative powered farming resources tackle climate/ weather munipulation, energy poverty and watere in one resource which to they spoke bad about saying it was a social extremists plot look at conservatives here in canada calling over 4000 peaceful protestors left wing radicals regardless of there opinion

  • public options/ obamacare original = bundle deal like net phone cable but house car insurance's instead , now since 08 right has called it obamacare and fighting cleanenergy for the oil companies who the propaganda/ teabeggers and lobbiests get there funds

  • The public option never made any sense to begin with. The only way government could offer cheaper health insurance than private insurance companies would be to break their own laws and regulations to give themselves an unfair advantage.

  • @Houshalter They wouldn't have to spend money on paying shareholders, advertising etc

    There'd be no profit incentive to jack up prices

  • @dffykvn well existing insurance companies can choose to not spend money on advertising (most don't anyways as far as I know.) Also where would the government get money to fund it without any shareholders or investors? If it takes tax money that's basically cheating, like I said. Anyone can offer lower prices if they have access to free tax money.

    There is no profit incentive to raise prices in a market since doing so makes you uncompetitive with other companies that have lower prices.

  • Obama NEEDS to be impeached for becoming a national traitor to the USA!

  • Obama being a traitor and making back room deals with the Ins. Industry is exactly why I won't vote for that lying POS !

  • Seriously, after all this time, no one ever seems to look into the name of Buddy Roehmer? Sure he's a Republican, but he seems to be the most sane and hard-hitting person on the ground. A true shame that only few times, FEW TIMES, that man was ever mentioned throughout the entire campaign election. Then again, the man decided not to venture with the looney troop that we see today, but seriously? Someone needs a conscious here.

  • Great president you liberals got there...

  • All I know is that when the right wing nuts went on their misinformation campaign to halt any type of heath care reform and keep the status quo, Obama did a piss poor weak job of defending the health care reform agenda. As President of the US, he is in the bully pulpit and he seemed to have forgotten that he had the moral, ethical and even economic high ground when it came to arguing for the public option. Well either he forgot, or it really wasn't that important to him in the first place.

  • Obama is a jew, or at least he acts like one..

  • @1corpoaratekochwhore How do you decide which one is the "lesser of 2evils." Obama has been worse than Bush. In Obama's second term, it will be worse than his first. Romney will be no different than Obama, different rhetoric, same action. Romney will just continue the same shit the previews presidents started. Supporting the 2party system will never allow us to change it.

    Evil is Evil. Knowing one is evil and then voting for evil, is wrong.

  • Despite the supposed "lies" (?) Obama has told us I'll be proudly voting for him again simply because the alternative is exponentially more dangerous to freedom and the American dream.

  • @bcourter82 You sound like an abused wife, "Sure he hits me but he is a better man than any other I have known."

    Voting him again is consenting to bad government and rewarding Obama for being just a little better than complete pieces of shit.

    There are third party candidates and if you look at other countries that have third party options that people use, they usually have better governments.

  • @KidOmniMan Who is this third party candidate you speak of?

  • @bcourter82 There is Rocky Anderson from the Justice Party, formerly a Democratic mayor he left the party disgusted with how owned it is.

    The Green Party has a few candidates as well and there is the Libertarian Party, the Party of Socialism and Liberation as well as half a dozen other parties that should be running candidates. And that is from about two seconds of internet searching, just because corporate news networks don't give any coverage to any third party doesn't mean there aren't any.

  • @KidOmniMan If they make a good case I'd consider voting for a 3rd party. I'd never vote Republican since Willard Wall Street isn't worth the sweat off my sack.

  • @bcourter82 Look up the other parties and their platform, you will definitely find one better than Obama's and for sure better than Republicans.

  • I remember David Duke , he ran as a Republican . suprise, suprise.

  • "Weak-kneed"? More like "No-knees and No-spine".

  • In 2002, due to voter apathy and a low turnout, far right politician Jean-Marie Le Pen surprisingly won the French equivalent of a primary to set him up in a Presidential election contest against Jacques Chirac.

    This gave the French people a choice between electing a racist, holocaust denier or the hated and corrupt incumbent.

    Slogans at the time read "elect the fraud not the fascist" and "vote but hold your nose".

    The parallels are obvious. What a dilemma. Romney/Gingrich or Obama?

  • It's kind of ironic that when it comes to the 2012 election and Obama, the public has no option...

  • @mrcharm69 Again Obama killed the possibility of public option.

    Of course, only Alanis Morrissette would think that is ironic. It's just sad.

  • @mrcharm69 haha newt and Romney are betting Ron Paul i mean if you want to beat Obama don't nominate an ass hole and flip flopper.

  • Cenk, I think the flaw in your argument is assuming that the public option could have passed if Obama had been stronger. Yes, I understand that there were 60 Dems in the Senate, but that isn't a blank check to do anything Obama wants. He can't turn Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman into liberals, and ultimately he needed their votes (or the votes of a Republican or two) to pass anything. Drawing a line in the sand and demanding a public option might very well have killed the whole thing.

  • @TheNoobSensei The issue completely dies at that point and there is absolutely no recourse for a loss of the public option, right? There's no such thing as pressure against members of his party or the utilization of his bully pulpit at all. Correct? /sarcasm

    The only reason the Republicans pushed back against Obama's GOP solution to the healthcare issue was for the sole purpose of appearing more conservative than our "socialist" president. More apologist excuses.

  • @eagles980 The idea of a presidential "bully pulpit" is largely a myth...ESPECIALLY when you need every last vote. The idea that Obama could have just given a speech that would have changed Ben Nelson's mind overly simplifies the political dynamics.

    And the basic math is the same regardless of the GOP's motives for pushing back; Obama needed 60 votes in the Senate, which meant either rallying every last conservative Democrat or picking off a Republican or two.

  • @TheNoobSensei The "bully pulpit" largely a myth? The man got the majority of the American people on his side by virtue of the fact that they voted him into office. Before he did anything at all as president, he won the Nobel Peace Prize because he was the personification of racial equality in this country and represented an change (irony) in American foreign policy. The fact that he's got apologists like you groveling at his feet, despite his failures, speaks to this influence.

  • @eagles980 Each senator has their own incentives, and they aren't necessarily aligned with the president's. Giving a speech from the "bully pulpit" isn't going to change that dynamic. When you have progressives in favor of legislation and conservatives opposed, and you're scrambling for the few votes in the middle to get to 60, the legislation is only going to be as good as the 60th most liberal senator. You can continue insulting me if you like but it doesn't change that mathematical reality.

  • @TheNoobSensei Cont.

    This desperate attempt of yours to rationalize Obama's failure as a progressive or a harbinger of change is really quite sad. It's almost as if you're using Orwellian doublethink in order to justify the presidents habitual and instinctual tendency to abandon his once precious ideals in favor of conservative corporatism and fascist abuse of civil liberties.

    "Lesser of two evils?" Try "opposite side of the same coin."

  • @eagles980 The way you put that phrase in quotes, it ALMOST sounds like I actually said it somewhere. I'm done with you, jackass. The president is not omniscient and to pretend that he can just wave his hands and command 60 senators to do his bidding is fucking retarded. Since you've been such an ass I won't be responding to you again. Now it's time for you to get the last word in and pat yourself on the back for "winning" because I left. You internet trolls are a dime a dozen. Fuck off.

  • @TheNoobSensei That's right, dismiss every criticism directed at Obama as "trolling". While you're doing that, resort to using childish insults and unnecessary profanity in order to prove your point.

    Did Bush "wave his hands" and "command" in order to get the majority of Congress to do his bidding? It sure sounds like you think he did. If this is your last resort, it was a poor effort and a joke.

    Side note: Who said anything about "winning"? Freud would like a word...

  • @TheNoobSensei Cont.

    When did Bush ever need a majority in Congress to pass all of his disastrous policies? That's what i thought. If Obama can't work with a majority in Congress, what evidence do you have that he can work with anything at all.

    Obamabot HO!!!!!

  • @eagles980 Umm Bush DID have a majority to pass all of his disastrous policies. If he didn't, then they WOULDN'T have passed. For example, the Iraq War passed the Senate 77-23. No Child Left Behind passed 87-10. The Bush tax cuts passed 50-50 (under reconciliation with Dick Cheney casting the tie breaking vote).

    Unfortunately there simply weren't 60 votes there for the public option. Sorry if understanding math and political science makes me an "Obamabot," but that's the reality.

  • @TheNoobSensei By majority, I meant political party. The "mathematical reality" is that even Bush managed to squeeze his policies out there without having to rely on his party alone to do the job.

    Do you know what happens if you don't make the case for legislation you believe in as president? You doom yourself to failure. Obama didn't even introduce a Public Option proposal, despite the fact that the majority of the public (up to 70%) supported it. More excuses. How tiresome.

  • Want someone else to vote for.

    Anyone, basically, who is not lying slime, or utterly evil.

    ::crickets chirping::

    No, seriously, anyone.

    ANYone.

    ...anyone?

  • Cenk for president!

  • wtf is this mixer add? its 6 or 7 minutes long? WTF?!?!??!!

  • Obama apologists are self-deluded, because there is no alternative and they desperately need to justify voting for the lesser of two evils.

  • @Anonymityisdead1984

    Naa.. I'm not delusional. The main problem is congress, not our imperfect president. I support Obama because I'm satisfied with his performance thus far. It could have been better, but my life has certainly improved since he took office.

  • @Anonymityisdead1984 Paul is not going to get nominated and will put Romney in the White House if he runs third party.

  • Obama 2012.... because I'd rather cruise in neutral than throw it in reverse.

  • shared and shared again

  • Him being on his knees has nothing to do with weak knees. :P

  • 13 ppl don't like it and will cry about it all day long.

  • @1corpoaratekochwhore Vote 3rd party.... Don't support the corrupt system.

  • mandatory insurance.

  • I feel sorry for all American voters. It's really shameful what is happening.

    ALL your candidate choices whether republican or Democrat (Obama) are GREEDY mother f***** assholes.

  • Cenk, as of right now, who would you vote for?

  • @hurley3000gt He said it before, he would vote for Rocky Anderson.

  • Maybe Obama took an arrow in the knee

  • Obama and romney BOTH SUCK

  • i hope a republican becomes the presidents so the world can laugh as the country burns down

  • Zhenron of the Omago sector 4012!

  • It is funny how Cenk talks about what "other people think" when he used to think it until he was proved wrong.

  • @DeagleBeagle eah its called opinions and also that doesent prove that obama is good anyways

  • They instead pick out divisive and highly emotional “social” issues, that while I understand are important to many, believe me are being used very deliberately to keep you heated and engaged in furious debate over these less consequential matters while they avoid talking about the stuff that really matters like the Federal Reserve and the counterfeit monetary system they run to bail out the richest and most connected, as well as the dissolution of your civil rights and the rule of law.

  • The story we are told is that there are “red” states and “blue” states and that we aren’t supposed to like each other and that on most of the important issues the various populations are diametrically opposed to each other. They make it seem this way by never actually really debating the issues that really matter to our freedoms and economic prosperity.

  • HOW DARE CENK TALK BAD ABOUT MY PRECIOUS OBAMA! ANYONE WHO CRITICIZES HIM IS TOTAL RACIST!

  • dam dam dam - I can't vote for the psychopaths but how can I vote for Mr. Sell -Out??????

    What choice do we have?

  • @ShalomYal RP ?

  • @ShalomYal President Paul.

  • @ShalomYal Green Party.

  • RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @PatTheFilmGuy Hell yes!

  • PON RAUL 2068!!!

  • Feryerhealth!

  • Saying Obama is weak kneed is giving him too much credit. The guy's just a liar.

  • @menthol5

    >Implying Obama has a leg to stand on.

  • im surprised that the top comments didnt contain the the whole "until i took an arrow to the knee" meme

    shame on you, youtube!

  • @FengxianLeTerrible I used to make jokes about taking arrows to the knee like you, then I got a brain.

  • @BrawlerGamma funny thing, i never liked the meme and never used it.

  • Obama used to be strong-kneed until he took an arrow to one.

  • Great analysis. I am not a fan of the left in general, but I love that Cenk is principled and brutally honest.

  • Vote for Obama once, shame on him...... vote fore Obama twice shame on us...... DON'T DO IT

  • @Tupacca10 shame on....a fooled man cant be fooled again.

  • @Tupacca10 And vote a Republican into office? No thanks.

  • @Tupacca10 Two things I will never do, Vote for a republican president in 2012 or vote for Obama again. Never again.

  • @Tupacca10 The only alternative is a Republican, which is a hundred times worse. I will only vote against Obama in the primaries, except no one is going to challenge him.

  • @Tupacca10 And if Mitt or Newt wins the primaries what else are we going to choose?

    If these to two guys wins the primaries then WE have to vote for Obama. I just wish a lot of people would wake up and have one hour to think and research the damn candidates on the internet instead of watching CNN, MSNBC, and FOX NEWS.

  • @Tupacca10 those of us that choose to walk away..for what..because we didn"t get everything you wanted..where was all this opinion when he fought the republicans single handedly during the health-care conference ..one on all the republicans and he mopped the floor with them..If you choose to not vote that makes me think you were never a supporter anyway and not built for the long haul

  • People have to understand this.

    Ron Paul only REAL candidate..

  • It's funny how they consider a public-option version "more progressive" (whatever that means). A public option would've been fiscally responsible. Instead they gave the industry millions of new customers on a silver platter, largely paid for by government-backed mandates. The bill that passed is extremely liberal compared to what the public-option version would've been. This really is the most straightforward case imaginable of Obama bowing to lobbyists. I really hope we get rid of him in 2012.

  • Everyone vote Ralph Nader this year, between Obama and the next GOP cannidate I don't see what we have to lose anymore.....-_-

  • I am not really impressed with Obama right now...

  • Ron Paul is fiscally conservative. But then again so is Obama when he gets bought out. So how could you not like Ron Paul more? At least he won't turn America into a police state like Mitt Robama.

  • Well this just kinda makes the documentary "Inside job" right.

  • One thing that puzzles me is why are 'progressives' stating that they will vote Ron Paul? He's against any form of healthcare and especially the public option.

  • @glddraco666 Dr. Paul is the only person running for president now who isn't a bought out puppet by corporations. I may not agree with everything he says (I actually agree with a lot tho) but I'd much rather have Ron Paul than a New World Order

  • @skinnydiprog3r It sounds like you need to get on some medication. New World Order? LOL okay I guess Cenk's supporters are a bunch of ideologue kooks from the right and not the left. It figures because very few people that I've chatted with online and in real life actually like this guy, that is if they even know who he is.

  • @glddraco666 Good to see you completely changed the discussion to attacking me personally when you have no clue who I am. Really lets your intelligence shine through.

  • "you don't like it...you can cry about it all day long". Or in my case vote for Ron Paul because this is the shit we'll get from any of the other candidates.

  • I'll be voting Herman Cain via Colbert Saturday

  • People make it seem like its bad to criticize Obama but still vote for him. I probably wont vote for him but some people believe in the "lesser of two evils" concept. If Newt or Romney wins the nomination and Paul does not run as a third party candidate, who else can you possibly vote for?

  • @BrooklynJEW7 You can write in Ron Paul. They're all the same, show them the only type of candidate you'll vote for.

  • @MFINN23 I have thought of that too. This will be my first year of eligibility to vote but I dont really want to vote for someone I know wont win. Plus I do have my own issues with Ron

  • TYT has jumped how many sharks lately. You guys know that most of these types of books are garbage, good-bye TYT it was good knowing you.

  • @yelobmx

    Bye faggot.

  • I was fool before the election,but now I know that Pres.Obama is a republican as I said before,while the Formerly Republican Party as been taken over by what I refer to has the Nationalist Puritan Fascist Party or Puritans.mainly white supremacist,Pro Corporation & religious zealots.

  • Fuck hope.

  • I've yet to see Cenk confirm that he's not supporting Obama in the next election.

  • cenk stop pretending u are not a obama supporter

    and u keep saying oh obama supporters will complain

    obama has no supporters left, just people afraid of republicans and too misinformed to vote ron paul

  • @naym2011 Actually, I consider Ron Paul supporters to be the misinformed. Stop pretending you know what you're talking about.

  • @octoberkittycat If you are informed how could you not support Ron Paul? How many times do you need to see obama cave before you realize he's throwing the fight on purpose. Who else should we support if not Paul. That's what I'd really like to know.

  • @jallison79 Two things about Ron Paul. He is staunchly against abortion. In countries that don't allow abortion, the rates of female and child poverty are astronomical. He doesn't believe in evolution ad he's a doctor. That's just sad. I admit, he's good on some economic issues and he does speak from his heart. But these are big issues to me. Convince me I'm wrong. My mind can be changed with evidence and smart persuasion.

  • @fatouche99 Yeah those are big problems for me as well. From what I've heard though it sounds like he wants to leave those decisions up to the states. I do consider sending out troops all over the place to fight these senseless wars in the name of terror to be far more detrimental to our country. Not only that but the senseless war on drugs that is clearly in place for profit.

  • I knew Hillary was a sell-out, but I was hoping that Obama was better than that. I was wrong.

  • his name should be dumfuck obummer

  • Who makes those subtitles? Do they do it to fuck with deaf people?

  • @bkny11215 they aren't made, they're interpreted by an algorithm. The word "beta" beside the "Transcribe Audio" option means that the feature isn't finished and is just meant for testing/teasing.

  • Obama is not a Liberal (refuse to use the word 'Progressive) - he falls on the same end of the Political Spectrum as David Cameron (Conservative PM in UK).

  • If you want to change how conservatives think all you have to do is give Fox News a lot of money. Lobby Fox News and you change the world, because they serve "The KoolAid" to their mindless zombies. Money talks with Fox News.

  • Democrats nominated and got a 1-term congressman as president, and then expected him to be strong? No wonder the republicans just ate him alive.

  • Obama is not a progressive because progressives don't get corporate sponsorship, corporatists do.He didn't want a public option after the health insurance companies threatened to cut off their campaign contributions. You see, they give money to both parties. When someone in one party doesn't do what they say, they cut off their corporate sponsorship to that person and give the funds to their opponent. Until we get the corporate and private money out of politics, it won't matter who you vote for.

  • "just weak" sums up Obama and his first few years in office.

  • I swear , if any of the kiddies on here are older than 18, and are saying "took an arrow to the knee", you are fucking pathetic. It's not funny, you're not funny, stafoo bitches.

  • @DaBamBamMan

    bet you're no older than 25 calling people pathetic for such little things ;)

  • OBAMA SOLD US OUT

  • Fuck Washington.

  • All hail president Achilles!

  • I used to be weak kneed. But then i took an arrow in the knee

  • WHO DO WE VOTE FOR PROGRESSIVES?

    I voted Nader the last two generals, I only knew Obama was a fraud because Nader proved it in his campaigning. WHERE WERE THE REST OF YOU PROGRESSIVES!? This fucking "first black president" hype got so many confused, they somehow related African-American politicians to Superman or something. What a scam it was. It just shows us HOW STUPID MOST voters are, even the progressives and liberals who actually thought Obama was legit.

    SHAME ON OBAMA!
