Obama Victory is A "Check that Can't Be Removed"

[mgallant01]

November 2, 2010..how did that check work out for ya?

[syzygy502]

@mgallant01 We kept the Senate and will put the republicans out of business.

[mgallant01]

@syzygy502 right.....you are delusional....63 Seats won.. 600 PLUS state legislature seats won...24 Governorships won....and in case you missed it MORE Senate seats are up for grab in 2012..sorry - say BYE BYE SENATE! HAHAHAHH! Oh even better - thanks to people fleeing crappy Blue States - HELLO more electoral votes for Red states!! Sorry ! hahhahah!!

[syzygy502]

@mgallant01 You are a fool. The top 10 states in the country economically are all Democrats. The bottom 10 are all republican. You have been reported for treason and slander.

[syzygy502]

Also, 24 republican governors are mostly out West. No New England States are left for the republicans. Interesting, that the real Americans are the Democrats. Good day to you.

[mgallant01]

@syzygy502 you lost! PERIOD!

[syzygy502]

@mgallant01 So. That happens with every president. Come back in 2012. If Obama is not re-elected and Democrats don't win both the Senate and the House, then come back and say that we lost. If you get the presidency, then December 21, 2012 is true after all.

[thelousyllama]

is this the 1st video of tyt after obama won

[upplsuckimcool16]

Why you tink Mccaine would have been a better pick?

If that is your position then I don't think you should be saying the things you are saying.

[upplsuckimcool16]

Tell that to the cenk of today.

[illmagnified]

it sucks, this was when all the propaganda was still working, now America is waking up and realizing how false Obama is in everything he does, hes a liar.

[JoePyrotechnic]

OBAMA IS A CUNT!!!!  FATSHIT LOSER!!!

[Irribeer101]

And Still he won:P

nananananan Suck on that :P

[oldjoe5]

I don't think they were using Limeys to pick all that cotton

[Sorenzo]

Yurimai,you can call the guy a muslim or a communist or a terrorist or anything you bloody well like. But what on EARTH do you have against a welfare state? The only thing "welfare state" refers to is a state that supports education, health care, and civil liberties. The entire POINT of the welfare system is to make money - healthy, well-educated people always earn themselves AND the state more money, increasing everyone's wealth. Do you hate your country so much you're against it earning money?

[lilcubsfan07]

wow... you are one IGNORANT asshole. go read a fucking book you racist bitch.

[Yurimai0]

No, it is a stain that can't be removed. Obama and his kind will drag us into a welfare state. You know what I'm talking about.

[NSU224]

I agree, kinda like being surprised that the 40 yeard old white guy next door is a pervert and molested your daughter.

[misticspear]

troll lol

[KangaKucha]

i just hope that one day my big issues that i fught for, gay marriage, polygamy and mariwana legalisation, will also be like this.

a check that cant be removed.

in canada, its already one down, two+ to go.

[Sorenzo]

Methinks you should just avoid the whole marijuana argument until you can actually spell the word.

And what's the point of polygamy? I don't know how many guys would want their wives to have more than one husbond. I don't think that's in the nature of men.

[KangaKucha]

its in the bible dumbass. and whats bad bout it? it mite acutrally improve socaity, you think of that? no more need fir divoce.

and over 70 present of north american consevatives, inculding republicans, are in favor of making "marijuana" legal.

[upabittoolate]

in the bible? dude, stop typing when you're drunk

[KangaKucha]

Jacob had mutuple wifes, Aberham had mutiple wifes, all in the bible.

[upabittoolate]

that's not what it said. it said that jacob was married more than once. my father was married twice but that doesn't mean he had multiple wives. stop typing drunk

[KangaKucha]

then why does the plays and images of jacob hav him with several wifes and kids?

[KangaKucha]

btw i;m not drunk, i;m as sober as you are, but not a stupid fucking cunt like you are.

[upabittoolate]

namecall all you want, it won't make your words true. as far as stupid goes, all you have is jingoistic belief in the KJVB & no interpretation or lateral thinking. the passion of christ was a play but you made it true. your belief is just that; not necessarily facts though. someone told me never to argue with stupid people so you & i are done here. godspeed

[KangaKucha]

your god is dead mother fucker!

[upabittoolate]

you assume that i profess any religion. taoists don't. dude, let it go, you've lost

[KangaKucha]

taoist are you?

[KangaKucha]

so you really know jack shit bout the bible.

[Marikay4]

That was awesome. that last line. That it gives you a good feeling every time you think about it. It's so true. esp for those of us who worked on the ground for Obama. To know that I was apart of his victory. To know I helped stop the horrible train wreck of the Bush years. Part of the long hard battle to clean up and rebuild our United States of America. I'm so proud. No one can ever take that away from me.

I'm a new watcher, but I'm really enjoying your show.

peace!

-Marikay4

[unclesam21]

BRilliant.... r a real AL BUNDY

[ChichiriMuyo]

I think that check would be thoroughly removed if it came out that the election was fixed in any way. Not that it's likely, but if voter fraud were involved the whole thing would be a sham and undone.

[KangaKucha]

hm video isnt loading

[seanboy80]

I view it as more of the glass half empty... we got Bush/Cheney OUT

[BlueLotusPagana]

EXACTLY what I felt after leaving the voting booth, and exactly what I still feel every now. I wake up and realize: HEY, I voted and I volunteered to get out the vote for Obama and the Democrats. And you know what? No more right wing fundies and neo-cons ruling over Congress and the White House next year. It truly is a great peaceful feeling. It will never change, and it has changed my life. No more falling asleep at the political switch for me. Never again :)

[Marikay4]

Same here! WOO! Obama volunteers are awesome!

[818loko]

Haha that aint a bad idea....

Tell me how u got up there?

[oppesdaman]

Check one for Obama!!!!

[qanazir]

Assasination.

[plord28]

lol @qanazir, you caught that as well huh?

[Richardgwm]

Cenk, there is no statute of limitations on trespassing on the Hollywood sign.

[kevjo66]

Will someone remind this dick wad who's been running this country for the last eight years?

[gymelef]

LOL yeah you tell him

kevjo66 Eight years of "get r dun" policy. We can now start a new and bring back science, ideology and democracy back to the USA

[oldhacks]

What about his support for the FISA bill? what about his mute stance on the war on drugs? what about the sad fact that his economic adviser is the same adviser that advised Clinton to repeal the Glass Steagall act and caused the mess on wall street? What about him stating he's gonna protect the embassy in Iraq? what about his stance against Iran? the list goes on and on

[normalais]

what about it? no matter how long your list gets, it cannot be as long as the one for McBush

Obama will be MILLION times better than McBush or any repub.

Voting for him was the easiest choice I ever made in my life.

[oldhacks]

So we're gonna be living the rest of our lives by "the Bush Standard"?

"well at least he's not as bad as Bush."

Bush is the worst president in American history and that's where you set your standard?

[KangaKucha]

Mcbush, sounds like a fast food chain.

[GretchenDawntreader]

this is going to sound really silly...but after I finally turned the tv off at like 2am when the coverage was winding down and getting repetitive...I stepped out on my porch and I was overcome by a feeling that it was a whole new country, that we had turned a page, it was like the world was fresh and new.

Irrational I know but it was just one of those "moments." As Cenk put it, a check that cannot be removed.

[PakarRhoy]

I will respect Mr. Obama as our president and that alone. He has done and will most likely do nothing to earn anything other than that.

Congrats Mr. Obama, I hope you do well, if not oh well you're here for only 4 years.

[smokeyorangutan]

achievement unlocked

[suisenbenjo]

I can say as a Republican that Obama won me over long ago and he's turned out to be the first president I've voted FOR (not just against his opponent) and been truly excited about. I mean, wow. An intelligent, respectable man for prez, and I thought the Republicans would be the party for that. Okay, I was an idiot.

[caelym]

I have to say, your great. That type of mindset is the best because you vote for the best candidate.

[funkycooldad]

Good stuff suisenbenjo, appreciated. We're all in this together. cheers

[crowdaddy13]

hahaha......so who needs florida? cuz even with a recount, mccain still gets his ass kicked, give him a few more states, obama is still the man

it our turn motherfuckers hahahahaha

[dralavant]

EXCELLENT!

[RudyPorter01]

Hey Cenk, sorry to tell you this, but I broke into your house and stole your Fantasy Football Trophy. I took it away from you. I'm willing to send it back for a small ransom.

[Kloxboy]

Dude, you're just awesome.

[funkycooldad]

Thanks Cenk, I'm just one of the happiest guys in the world right now. Amazing! He won! He actually won! America has voted for the smartest coolest guy to be President. Way off the charts cool. Everybody check out Obamas CV on wikipedia. How smart is this guy? No more idiots in charge. I can sleep at night now knowing he'll be at the helm. Great!!! And to everybody that's black, I'm living the dream with you, and I'm white! We're in this world together. ALL of us. Love to everybody. Johnny UK.

[randy95023]

Even though I'm a Republican I respect the will of the American people to choose who they think will best serve the country. I will support Obama as MY president even if/when I disagree with him. (I wish more Dem's would have respected and supported George W. Bush.) God Bless America!

[funkycooldad]

Cool Randy. Love the U.S.A. same as you.

[edp1968]

Had he earned our respect, we Democrats would have gladly given it to him. I respect you for stating that as a Republican you will stand by our newly elected President, but unfortunately, you will be one of very few who will do that. I expect that once the euphoria dies down, Republicans will tear President-elect Obama apart as they usually do when someone does not believe or follow their principles and ideologies.

[740205]

Nice one Randy, that's a really cool attitude.

[DivineMacabre]

First, awesome you can say that as a republican. Much respect. However, it was hard for us Dems to embrace Bush, more so when he made it a point to exclude us. I remember when Bush was re-elected and the threat was made that he would veto ANY bill the Dem's proposed. Now...That's not really crossing party lines. Obama's different in that he's voiced that the Republicans have been heard and is willing to extend his hand. Bush wasn't as receptive....at all.

[MrDeppness]

"Have I come up with an absurd example? Yes I have." HAHAHA nice one! 0:36

[ILoveGoodFellas]

Just think, from less then 48 hours ago onwards in history the phrase "There hasnt ever been a black president" shall never be uttered. It was my 1st vote, and Barack Won. What a week !! Im mostly glad I dont have to watch negative ads, fox news gutter shots, McCain/Palin BUUUULLSHIT !! Now, its all President-Elect Barack Obama !! YES WE DID !

[swaimb]

Nice to see "fantasy football" people so in tune with the real world. (not the show) for idiots. I applaud you Cenk for your commentary. It was truly the good fight.

[beccahday]

yes! :) love the examples.

[pa6xylly]

great message, cenk. and i don't think your example was trivial.

[majestik143]

This Great Victory spread optimism all over The World instantly! Thank you everyone to get him elected. Amazing just amazingly beautiful!

[juliact]

You were right the first time, you DID get Obama elected! You and all the thousands of tireless campaigners, you found the right candidate and got to work, great work guys!!!!

[DevaRupa]

Obama would be the first to agree when you say "We got Barack Obama elected" and he meant it and that's why he won by a landslide....

[axelfear]

For the People...By the People. It is wonderful to watch true democracy work. :D

-Axel

[lestliness]

... but we don't live in a democracy. We are a Republic. I congratulate Obama, I'm glad he won, but let us remember that republicans and democrats suppress the alternate ideas through ownership of the debate process. In this historic election we should recognize all it's significance and be proud for what has been achieved. Also, we must insist on true unity where all voices of reason can be heard and not deny ballot access or airtime to perceived threats to the 2 party ruling class.

[shadspreiter]

Cenk....I didn't take you for a fantasy football geek. lol, but I guess I won't hold that against you.

[hypnofan35]

Something like half the country got out and voted for him. I think it could have been more of a blow out than it was. I don't know. The players are always planning some new gambit.

[tigerlky]

okay next time i go to LA im climbing that fucking sign.

[lordmonfort]

Cenk...never think it cant be removed. It only takes some crazy whack job to destroy all we have fought for.

[ram11386]

lmao

[instntlyurbiggestfan]

lol Cenk makes me laugh so hard

[grayfox189]

Its illegal to touch it?! :O

[njb444]

Amen, brother!

[BobfromSydney]

I thought he was going to talk about checks and balances.

[BkzFr3sh3stDuD3]

Republicans called him a socialist a Zionist a terrorist an uncle tom an Arab a Muslim a Marxist an elitist and a liberal an anti-Semite a nigger and an election thief but NOW THEY HAVE TO CALL HIM MR. PRESIDENT!!! I have never been so proud to be an American OBAMA!!!!

[willspeagle]

I love this!

[theunruly1]

[JerkyChid]

[paintball164]
