  • President Obama - End the system of PRISONS FOR PROFIT. PLEASE.

  • 2 years later.....

  • Turkish buddy, can you please remind your wife that men run the world!!!

  • Fault. You sir, are an idiot.

  • @ahana did you not watch the video? Not only did you not get the point of it, but you have no idea what youre talking about. Obama has not only failed to "fix what bush messed up" he has actually extended a lot of bush's policies that the democrats were against in the first place. What Obama has actually accomplished quite a bit of what he is trying to accomplish, but because people like you sont even know what he has been doing the last few years, you think its all tje republicans and bushs

  • i think its quite ridiculous how u expect obama to fix all the shit tht Bush caused in only 4 years. Bush was in office for 8 years so OBVIOUSLY its going to be hard for obama. Also the republicans, the majority of congress, are completely against all the ideas tht obama puts up forth, despite the fact tht theyre actually really good. its not obamas fault its the republicans because they dont want CHANGE theyre contantly vetoing all of the bills tht Obama proposes. so fuck off

  • wow just wow.

  • thumbs up if you think Obama should fuck off

  • i thought he was about  to cry 3 times

  • A little more bass in his voice, and it would have sounded more like a demand, rather then a whine. Otherwise, I'm completely on his side with his request, but I'll say I could see in Obama's eyes from the beginning he was not an American man and had no interest in doing a thing he said he would. 

  • Pff......Obama is a zionist/isreal muppet.

  • thumbs up if you like A Message To President Obama

  • these videos are always interesting

  • This guy is what the country is running away from. But what scares me many people think like him !

  • "You are the president you have the power to do it, we don't. That's why we elected you." So you voted for him because he had as much power as the presdient, and now he doesn't have anymore power? That makes no sense you are a loon just like Rachel Maddow, Hillary Clinton, anybody that supports the left.

  • Обама---это кусок дерьма!!!!как и те америкоши что за него!!!Готовтесь к терактам!!!Жопа вам будет ой жопа!!!!С Востоком игратся так нельзя!!!

  • national healthcare is a landmark bill. rising private healthcare is huge profit for companies and becoming unaffordable for the avg working person. this president did something no one has ever done before.

  • FUCK OFF! AND KILL YOURSELF!

  • My message to Obama : YOU FUCKING SUCK AND YOU WALK LIKE A QUEER.

  • I love you man but you dont know the mafia you're trying to "change"

  • @hobo59 ...

  • talking to the wall?

  • Stop the government takeover! Kick out he jack-booted thugs! vote PALIN 2012!!!

  • @xbilljenkinx hahaha. Vote for Palin. hilarious.

  • If we try to please everyone, we will please NO ONE!

  • I just saw this low life make fun of how Sarah Palin talks. Now I don’t much like Palin but to make fun of the way she speaks? Are we resorting to that now? You do realize, you have just opened the door for people to make fun of the way minorities speak. You have proven to be just as low as all the people you criticize. Idiot.

  • thanks cenk. you got balls bro. may God give you the strength to go all the way. we support and have your back as well.

    an American Turk, really dangerous highly explosive.

    thats a mix of ottoman blood

    and in my opinion usa people naturally have the characteristics of the sahaba mentality u dont see that much in nations these days and will do plenty for Islam in the near future God willing.

    Go Spastic brother all out muslim or not all of us suffering by the same tyrants, tellem brooo

    Australia

  • national healthcare IS CHANGE you fools

  • i can't believe this was broadcast without being cut off

  • Cenk for president

  • On tv: approved.

  • I would love to sit down, have a couple of tea and a chat with Cenk.

  • Ik denk niet dat Obama alles kan doen wat hij wilt want bij ons in de Tweede Kamer zijn er regeringspartijen en als een minister-president gezag uitoefent wat de medepartij in de regering van de fractie tegen is, dan is de kabinet gevallen dus als Obama opzettelijk niks doet ja dan is hij net zoals Bush alleen met een democratisch tintje en anders kun je hem wel de schuld geven maar hij kan er niks aan doen als hij geen steun krijgt van zijn medepartij in de regering...

  • @TheFunnyscool I think it's good that they didn't let you join the army after seeing your comment.....

  • Tweeted this

  • i have it bad i took a credit card a couple years ago at my old job and now i have that on my record just because i made a dumb mistake now its impossible for me to get hired. i'm screwed for life.

  • All right Cenk, your starting to win me back with this video. There's hope for you yet.

    And by the way, your exactly right with your message. But unfortunately the powers that be have too much to hold over his head for him to buck the system as it stands.

  • when you transcribe the audio the subtitles for "fight for us" are "fifa rocks". NICE

  • Pres Obama needs to take a page from the Bush/Cheney playbook. Bush was able to get Roberts and other SC nominees confirmed by refusing to compromise and give up on getting them confirmed. Pres Obama and Dems should past tax cuts for the middle class by using reconcillation in the Senate. Pass the bill by any means necessary.

  • obama sucks!! woot woot hes screwign everyone while smileing i couldnt even join the army becouse of the basterd!! so many people joining the army i cant even join it now liek wtf/??? i have to go to colldege jsut to get shot at are you kidding me?????

  • @TheFunnyscool i couldnt get into the army in Australia, of the same reason i had to attend TAFE when i came to the same coclussion as you i decided it was GODS will.

    ill defend and die for my country but truthfully i dont wanna get shot in another country fighting for an unjustifed cause. and fighting for greedy war mongers. life is to short bro settle down have a family defend your country at your country if needed. when the time comes you will be ready at home defending your soil n u family.

  • The play is called Fela you Idiot NOT "Fella" and SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE OBAMA'S.

  • The problem is that you guys went victims to the Weapons of Mass Deception (the media) to think that Obama is any different.

    Until you people see and comprehend how Zionists control the main elements of power of the country (Banks, Media, and Politics (BOTH PARTIES)) , nothing will change.

    Excuse me Cenk, but you've been deceived by him like the others.

  • I'm a conservative (not a Republican or a Teapartier) and not a Democrat. But I will give credit to this President. He is working. Literally. He shows up in his desk everyday, dives into issues, looks for long term solutions, and acts upon them. Successful or not, he is working. Unlike this bullshitter who sends a message to President via First Lady, in both of their absence, about a political black hole that existed since Rome. Gimme a break. John Stewart said it already, to his face yet.

  • Cenk you speak volumes of a genuine Patriot, up with progressives down with the corrupted. PERIOD!!

  • President Obama needs to stop worrying about getting re-elected in 2012, and MAN THE HELL UP!

    But Cenk, you're words are more likely falling on deaf ears. He's leading the country exactly the way he intended to do so. I don't know how people forgot that politicians say what you want to hear before any election. He's a salesman(politician) and everyone fell for his sales hook. I believe that was uh..."Change." There will be no Change. Reps/Dems. are one in the same. It's just entertainment.

  • @ZoValente

    "President Obama needs to stop worrying about getting re-elected in 2012, and MAN THE HELL UP!" Actually, manning up is probably what would get him reelected.

  • @ZoValente The thing is if he could sttand up with his spine he would get re-elected

  • @ZoValente blah blah

    

  • well europes bankrupt socialism sucks lets just out vote in 2012. and bomb north korea

  • lobiests can suck my b@(($!!! You will never take my country from me with out a fight!!! I hope barack obama knows that all hardworking amaricans(not wealthy) feel this way.

  • @libralhippieabortion Barack OBAMA is just another puppet catering to the lobbyist man lets be real. Why u think he bailout all those bank and rich ceo for avg joe job security child please. Its to give the money back those greedy ass ceo lost.

  • Somebody needs to put Obama's backbone on a milk-carton.

  • The bankers and lobbyists are running this country. Whether you're liberal or conservative, they need to be booted out.

  • Obama is the establishment. He is just another PUPPET.

    Lobbyists of all kinds running the show IS NOT A LEFT RIGHT ARGUMENT.

    It is us, vs. them--us against the establishment. The establishment wants us divided, and bickering over trivial garbage while both sides sell us down river.

  • practice that voice cenk please!!!! it sounds too whiny on msnbc! :(

  • Why the HELL do we have to ask questions of "our" President by proxy?

    Someone point me to ONE address he's made to his disillusioned followers.

    He's like some guy who adds as many MySpace friends as he can, and never intends talks to them. His YT site is a joke. I've NEVER gotten a single response to any question I've put to them, and believe me when I say that I went out of my way to be polite.

    He aughta just start posting booty dancing and bellyplay videos if he's going to keep the site.

  • korea is on the brink of war ,and comrade obama is planning his next vacation, what a dismal failure and a marxist pig-- god help us make it another 2 years until this marxist filth gets his pink slip

  • RON PAUL

    BEN SAUNDERS

    CENK UYGUR

    Need I say More?!

  • What makes you think Obama is on your side? Because he said so? Because he sounded convincing?

    Starve the beast!1 Tea Party 2012!

  • Yeah this guy is naive. If Obama decided to do all that (he never will) something would happen to him before he would be able to do anything.

  • @jbohler33 yep he is too afraid to bite the hand that feeds him.

  • Obama has run as president using the strong arm, manipulating, Chicago type politics he's so familiar with.

    He has no desire to bring the office of the Presidency back to its foundational roots; to serve the public that hired him.

    He wants to fundamentally change America into a Socialist nightmare where the people are severely dependent on the Government to dole out its good graces upon us when it feels it's necessary.

    This is far beyond left or right wing; it's an invasion from the inside.

  • hay your guys leave him alone he is changing the usa. Shut up to all those who think that he is not! and you know what we did vote for him and will again when he runs again! just let him do his job. all you guys do is put him down maybe if he had some one other that his office and family encouraging him he could get more done. i would like to see you take his job!

  • i agree with cenk, just to bad that presidents have no power and are puppets. americans all ways need to point a finger at someone thats why we vote.

  • @ThePILUCHO what

  • (cont'd) At that point voters could have seen that Insurance, Big Oil, Wallstreet and the Banks that they complain about so much bankrolled the Tea Party wave. Maybe, some would have accepted the farce for what it is and they would have thought twice about voting for them.

  • Cenk,..you're clueless. Howard Dean tried the progressive take no prisoners progressive path and he never got to the White House. The Tea Party lynch mob doesn't want a new system they want the Black guy deposed, it's very simple. If they wanted a new system they would have required all Tea Party candidates make campaign contributors public.

  • Oh Cenk, you poor, naive fool.

  • Cenk for president

  • I don't think Obama can do much, JFK proved what happens when a president tries to change the system.

  • @Sun6Tzu

    Sarah Palin will change our system completely and DESTROY the OLD BOYS NETWORK! We will have NO MEN in govt! Nobody can kill Sarah Palin for she is PROTECTED by GOD HERSELF! Palin will immediately UNLEASH the WRATH and FURY of GOD HERSELF onto her would be assailent and expose his PUSSY!

  • LOL! This video cracks me up the more I view it! Obama campaigned on bipartisanship, remember the red america/blue america speech? He didn't even campaign as a progressive (remember his FISA vote and the pledge to escalate the war in Afghanistan?). He never really fought that hard against Hillary or Mccain during the election, he worked behind the scenes and then watched as they self-imploded. You guys are expecting Obama to act in ways he didn't even act during the campaign.

  • A person flipping a coin would do a better job. Actually... Someone try that.

  • If only Cenk can run for president, all people will vote for him.

  • Cenk, please run for president. I feel like your the only person who would actually get stuff done that needs to be done. You'd have the TYT army supporting you. RUN FOR PRESIDENT! Make it the TYT political party lol.

  • I actually agree with everything you said here, Cenk.

  • But, Cenk? Did you think that was an appropriate place & time to ask her such a thing? This was a play, right?

  • Thank you Cenk, Thank you for actually asking the right questions, for being in this regard, Incorruptable.

  • This anchor is lame as hell and his jokes are korny

  • "Change the system"??? I don't think Obama or anybody for that matter will be able to change the system. It's not going to happen while money is king.

  • It's Fela not Fella, lol.

  • The democrats can provoce a massive election landslide in 2012 if they can persuade the republicans to come up with Palin as their candidate.

  • "America...fuck yeah!"

  • Fight, Fight, Fight, Lets Go Cenk!!

  • It's also unfortunate that where I live, California, our gubernatorial candidate Whitman spent 160 million of her own money to run for office. That money could have been spent to employ people at eBay where she was the CEO. That could have been great for californias economy.

  • Leave his family out of it, we didn't elect her.

  • all of you bashing the tea party, name one honest politician. come on, name names. who?

  • That's the way to use a bully pulpit! Good job, Cenk!

  • WE DO HAVE THE POWER, WE JUST DON'T REALIZE IT. YOUR FOOLISH TO THINK THAT A PRESIDENT WILL BRING CHANGE...YOU WANT CHANGE, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR IT.

  • @StrangersInTheLight Go back to your tea party!

  • Republicans are idiots and don't understand that the budget should be balanced, taxes cut for middle class, and bailouts actually save jobs by keeping the companies able to hire!

  • @Hgindia69 The bailouts may have saved a lot of jobs, yes, but they sure didn't create much. The point that many conservatives make is that by preventing companies like GM and AIG from failing, we are making it that much harder for us to get out of this recession. All they did was maintain the oligarchy. Also keep in mind that we didn't have the money to bailout those companies, we borrowed it, and if we continue to borrow money at this rate we'll likely see high inflation, meaning lost jobs.

  • @commoncents1821 I agree with that. However the companies have a set deadline to pay it back. So really in essence, all we did was lent them money. And all I know is that we better start balancing this budget or we might go under as a nation.

  • @Hgindia69 go dance in the forest

  • Right on man. Well said

  • what is the tax rate for the richest 1% and what will it be if its raised?

  • Hear hear!

  • right on brother

  • Talk to the president not his wife ass-wipe Now that you're on TV you act as if you have all the answers. It's just a job.

  • the change he was talking about was the NEW WORLD ORDER

  • @LazySmi There all in it They are all part of that plan. The plan for the NEW WORLD ORDER!

  • @Thegarmendia i'll agree with you a hundred times !!! they wont change these guys are puppets !!

  • You guys really overestimate Obama's power.

    Not that I disagree with the message, though.

  • @4damskii

    Obozo is POWERLESS and WEAK! Sarah Palin has the REAL POWER and is the PUPPETMASTER of the world! Everything is controlled by Sarah Palin for she has the POWER of GOD HERSELF!

  • @4damskii "You guys really overestimate Obama's power."

    No, we underestimated the power that the upper rich businessmen have. they have Superman fetching for beers while they watch TV and sell America out (to the emerging markets), the question is: Can we rescue superman or not? Kuz if we can't we are screwed.

  • @4damskii

    Not sure what you mean by that, but my take is that if our current president can't change the way things run in Washington, then whats the point of the Presidency? We may as well all storm the castle, burn it down and rebuild.

  • @4damskii I don't think many of us overestimate his power at all. The President has the power to mandate things be done from his congress. He can also execise many executive powers, but unfortunately he's too afraid. All he's been doing since he stepped into office is worry about getting re-elected. If he actually did the job he was elected to do, we would not have souch an uproar. I'm already prepared to nominate and vote for someone else in 2012. He'll instantly become a 1 term President.

  • It doesn't even matter who the president is. The military-industrial complex has almost total control of our government. 300 individuals own the Federal Reserve. All of the "popular" issues are just a smokescreen. Republicans and Democrats are basically the same, but the powers-that-be would rather see us fight amongst ourselves while they keep filling their coffers, tax-free. We have not been free since December 25, 1913.

  • @digiprez77 what happened on that day?

  • why can't americans just be happy for once without making a big thing about it. your not THAT fucking special

  • Cenk said it right. Obama has sold himself out. I wish JFK jr. were still alive.

  • @playbak Obama and JFK Jr. two totally different types of Democrate.  Obama is, in reality, a far left individual in his policies, his mind and heart. JFK Jr. was a pragmatist and very much a CENTER guy! That being said, I agree. I wish JFK Jr. were here too!

  • Jesus Fucking Christ just make Cenk the Secretary of Truth already

  • As long as the president continues to take orders it will stay like this JFK changed and tried to save the system, us citizens should protect JFK like presidents from the CIA FBI and those who control them too

  • "Luckily, I'm hosting a national television show right now...!" Hah, Cenk and TYT FTW!

  • we are all 3rd class citizens,.. 1st class banks 2nd class corp

    3rd class cannon fodder for wars and a slave work force.

  • Bravo Good Sir.

    With any luck change will come. Obama, in my mind, has the best character to accomplish this task. He has the public's support. Now he must merely act upon it.

  • F*CK OBAMA, hes a liar, hes just as bad a bush, spending all our money we dont have........... We need a president who can put us in positive revenue, not spending trillions on health care and other bills not needed right now!!!

  • The only thing that gives me even the slightest bit of hope is the fact that the 2 top rated comments are right on the money. Whoever thought a Chicago union whore would change anything was sadly mistaken. I voted for Obama too, and he fucked all of us. Until we make elections publicly funded and rid our government of corporate control we're all going to end up in a third world country run by private government armies.

  • Why does everyone hate on Obama. His ideas and policies are the same as clintons except at different economic times. People need to stop blaming people for the economy and come together to solve the problem. Blaming gets people nowhere. So let's pull through!

  • Uh huh.. but then there's that whole majority vote thing. Ya, just go piss everybody off, Obama.. that oughta work.

    I'd say the fella's doing a fine job. He HAS made changes... whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar dot calm There are a TON of people blocking progress for selfish reasons.

  • "By the people,of the people,for the people",apologies to Abe Lincoln if I got that wrong! Go figure!

  • By the way a funny example of that is Mcconnell telling Bush to pull out of the war simply to get more votes..and in the same day condemning Democrats for wanting to pull out. Its all a PR stunt. All you hear is criticism of the president but NEVER have I heard logical solutions to their countless complains. How do we know they will be any better than the current administration.. in reality they can spit on the American people for their own sake.

  • Trump 2012, lol. I would vote for him in a heartbeat instead of the republicans leaders that are the biggest hypocrites in the world perpetually lying to get personal power. If Mcconnell or Bohner say something about listening to the people again I'm gonna have to get earplugs

  • This man fights FOR republicans, and they hate him. Just because he can play basketball, does not mean he aint an Uncle Tom.

  • Yes .. Hi this is obama whose sitting inside the big white house, Me thats who I make decisions bitch..

  • The last POTUS that tried 'real change' was JFK and look what they did to him. Please, somebody tell Cenk Santa Claus isn't real because he's still leaving out cookies and milk.

  • ... okay,... now back to the real world

  • retard.

  • Bolgernow......Im not interested in political parties. I vote for a person. Count the number of financially corrupt lobbyist Obama has given positions in the Whitehouse. LOOK who financed and managed his campaign

  • Obama is motivated to protect the system that got him elected. This guy is the democrat version of Sean Hannity.

  • fight against the wicked of Washington

  • Good speech Cenk. Now would you please go listen to Alex Jones and find out what's going on. I bet half the governing elite tunes into Infowars, just like moviestars reading scandal magazines. To find out what they did last week.

  • Cenk is looking for heroism in Obama, what a naive thought. What the whole thing about presidency Obama really looks like is that Obama saw presidency as a boost to his own ego and of course landing a better job. So people did not get what they ask for, that is tough luck for the people. Obama has his presidency job and that is all that matter to Obama, or any other president for that matter.

  • But Cenk obama is friends with the lobbyist man. Come on man wake up cenk dont tell me u fall into the trap. OBAMA Secretary of Treasury he elected to put there was the former president of the corrupted federal national bank, Come on CENK lets be real. The bailout should of been the indicator that rich corporations come first man.

  • You have it half right Cenk. You said the people don't have the power to change the system, the president does. The people do have the power to change the system, they simply can't do it as easily as the president can. The people, without a doubt, have the power to create the change, however we have been so absorbed by culture that most people have forgotten they have that inherent power. This is a point of transition on Earth. Either we the people change it, or it stays the same

  • Little does he know, OBAMA was placed into the office by his "banker" friends & George Soros, so he's asking for a man who BAILED OUT the banks over the poor. HE STOLE FROM THE POOR AND GAVE TO THE RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @OneDudesVideo that's not true, Republican Tea Party were placed in there to do this. Since you like whooper lies, why stop there? The Tea Party elected people based on "stop spending". Guess what, they're spending, but now on stuff they like(Tax cuts, defense, wars, corporate lobbyist loopholes), while screaming "stop spending" to stuff they don't(enempolyment benefits, Medicare, SS, healthcare reform). This is about power, nothing more...

  • why does he sound like he's crying or at least going to?

  • @loserkin , this whole system is too disappointing, I don't blame him wanting to cry.

  • This guy sound so whinning he pisses me off

  • This is exactly what was predicted to happen if Obama took office two years ago; and, it's happened. What's that old, old saying?  O yeah, how are ya all liking that hopey , feely, changey thing now?

  • waaaaaaaaa, you promised hope and change, boo hoo hoo, we wanted socialism, waaaaaaaaa, the smart people told us you were lying but we wouldn't listen, boo hoo hoo.

  • So sad that SO many people have jumped on the Media's "Bad Obama" BandWagon. The rich spend a lot of money to keep people in their lane to continue lining their pockets, and it appears to be working.

  • i think by CHANGE Obama thought we meant people standing by the highways holding up a sign that said "CHANGE" begging for money.

  • At least we only have 2 years to go.

  • This guy is either getting paid off or doesn't know about the Illuminati

  • @dubterr

    Or third option: he's not a fucking idiot like you

  • Democrats must grow some balls!

    Alan Greyson and Jesse Ventura 2012.

  • love it!! I hope he hears is!! 

  • No shit the lobbyists still run shit.

  • michelle obama is the drag queen RU PAUL

  • He looked as though he was about to break down and start crying.

  • obama is a dismal failure and a marxist pig, two years untill barry gets his pink  slip

  • @100crawma

    I don't think you know what marxism is...let me guess: you listen alot to conservative talk radio, (/Fox clowns like Glenn Beck) but don't really question things you hear

  • the funny thing is when it comes time to vote for a "we the people candidate" WE, the people, never do! The media control's us with fear.

  • hey comrade president obama is going on vacation  again

  • People just don't seem to have the knowledge that our President can NOT make policy changes ALONE... it also takes the support of Congress!

    So many of us got out and voted for the Presidential election, but then let President Obama's opposition control the House... you have to vote CONSISTENTLY for change if you really expect to get it!!!

    People also don't realize that the Health care "Option" was shot down by Congress. This was a HUGE change that was in favor of the American people.
