  • Success for Managers means: I want to be in healthy relationships. I want a real connection with people I spend so much time with.

  • I love the lit music thing, they need to do that more.

  • GREEN PARTY 2012

  • Working people with health insurance now could see their doctors within a few hours and still go to work on the same day. If the working people have to "fall in line" as the other unemployed people (who have all day to spare) since it is universal health care, what effect would this do on the productivity of America? Think about how many people would be falling in line for a doctor's visit or ER visit.

    Nothing is fair!

  • @tomitstube - this bullshit watered down public option is a 1000 miles from single payer and it will probably be an obsticle to implementing a single payer system. Dont be blinded by the uneducated hype machine.

    Even Uygar woke up and realized what we really want is single payer and what we have pushed for is a public option that will force the government to absorb only the liability cases, insurace companies will offer very competitive rates with better coverage for low risk. See MAIF.

  • @schmokay ~ i agree with you, i think. the current bill has been hijacked by conservatives and isn't worth the paper it's written on. forced mandates? subsidizing insurance companies? weakened abortion rights? payoffs to conservadems?

    what reform? kill the goddamn thing and force conservatives to explain why they chose insurance profits over the welfare of the american people. screw 'em, what have they done to demand our obedience? they've sold us out. lousy fucks.

  • Immigration has to be addressed at the same time. Thats because with 2 million a year coming in, plus overstayed visa's, anchor babies etc, thats all a huge weight on healthcare system. But congress never mentions it in the bill! Since we have 310 million here now, I say reduce immigration to 100,000 a year and stop the anchor baby laws altogether and defend the borders. We do that, and I will support single payer! AND IM CONSERVATIVE SAYING THAT!

    Deal?

  • @calimar28 You don't support anchor baby laws? 14th Amendment, Section 1- All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

  • @CupboardNinja That was written for slaves, not illegal aliens, and you god damn well know it. You liberals are taking advantage of it and hopes the supreme court doesnt notice how it is worded. And this is why the teaparty will never trust a liberal....EVER.

  • @calimar28 Does it say slaves? It was written to include all people born in the United States. It's not like they didn't have illegal immigrants back then. If they wanted it to not to make it only apply to slaves, they could have, but they didn't.

    "And this is why the Democratic party will never trust a conservative....EVER." Except we don't say that, because we're not a bunch of close-minded assholes like you.

  • @CupboardNinja No, your open minded. Who cares if all of Mexico comes in and get our entitlements? Or that mothers come 9 months preganant and has a baby on OUR dime. Who needs limitations? That's just silly.

    And this is why we despise liberals and always will...because your always willing to give away somebody elses money. We look at your side as thieves of the worst kind.

  • @calimar28 You're such a sweet person. You know that?

  • Because Obama doesn't support your suck ass version of a public option.

  • @schmokay ~ maybe you have motivated him to do so.

  • Obama is a soft sonofabitch!

  • @porn1978 ~ like a pillow?

  • huh???

  • lol yes like a pillow..sorry.

  • Obama is a no-nonsense negro that understands how unpopular the public option is with the American people! Nutty wack job liberals go bananas over issues like Guantanamo and now the public option. You crazy fringe liberals will not get your way, because Obama can read the polls! So how do you like them apples?

  • Your commen proves that Obama is teh stereoypical Negro - bends over as soon as masa says so.

    The majority of people who voted for him wanted change. REAL change.

    Obama the political Beyonce: looks goos. sinds a good song and makes you feel good abou race relaions. But ultimately what is he/

    Just another slave

  • @calimar28 ~ you again? "negro"? "crazy fringe liberals"?

    lmao, america wants a public option. it was 60% when there was a fight for it, and now the health bill is 35% without it.

    i don't think it takes einstein to figure out health care without single payer is suicide.

    apples? you're still an idiot.

  • Lets have a public option. While we are at it, lets have the goverment pay our rent, and food. I can use some new clothes, so how about I go to Macys on the goverment credit card? Goverment needs to make my car payments too.

    The next step is goverment choosing which occupation we will have, because we want to eliminate "chance and risk" and do what is best, which reduces goverments risk by supporting us right? And who knows better than goverment what we should all be doing?

  • @calimar28 ~ why do you bother? is it because you want me to sort it out for you?

    ok, the "public option" is not a gubment take over, the revenuers ain't coming to shut down your still, bubba. you pay for it. it's competition. you know, competition for the stranglehold private insurance has on the american health care system? if you don't want it, then keep your overpriced crap.

    and yes, "chance and risk", should be minimized in my health care system. duh. are you serious???

  • We have fully public fire departments. If you have a fire doesnt cost a dime to have the government put it out. Why hasnt that led to the government paying our rent or deciding which occupation we will have?

    If that's not enough, every country in the G-8, except the US has universal coverage. That means the entire capitalist world excluding the US. Yet none of them buy clothes at Macy's for people or decide occupation. Just think about it.

  • Stop using the fire dept analogy. Its really dumb. Police, fire, roadways has to be goverment, there is no other way in those cases. Are people going to hire their own personal fire guy? Will I have to stop my car every 15 yards to ask the next guy if I can drive on his piece of road? Those are services that are "non-personal" so thats why goverment is the only way.

    Healthcare is a "personal service". Like rent, food, car, etc - and goverment need not be involved in those things.

  • @calimar28 ~ health care should be a right, not a privilege for only those who can afford it. every civilized country in the world believes this but us. 44,000 people a year die in america because they are denied access to medicine and care.

    putting profit over treating the sick is barbaric. we are the richest country in the world and we routinely tell the sick, sorry, maybe if you lived in bolivia, you could get medicine or treatment.

    this hypocrisy has gone on long enough.

  • Richest no more.

  • @tomitstube Oh, so we are responsable for Mexico's healthcare? And what about too many legal immigrants coming in breaking the back of entitlements? We shouldnt be able to reduce immigration first?

  • @calimar28 starting with "personal service". Your home is private property. People have private fire insurance, If there is an incident they can call private fire department (exactly like going to a private hospital) and the insurance company will pay. If you do not have insurance or the fire department does not accept your insurance then they do not have to respond. The analogy is exact, you can even throw in public departments like pulic hospitals, and mandatory responses like ER visits.

  • People have grown comfortable with the concept of public fire department that you do not have to pay for as an essential service. It is not categorically different than health care. In fact nearly the entire developed world views health care as an essential service not at all different from the fire department. If we had private fire departments and private payers and the government suggested a single payer public system there would be the same backlash. "Why should I pay for someone else fire?"

  • Comment removed

  • Obama has completely sold us out on health care. We need to stop this and start over, skipping all the graft and corruption the next time.

  • Obama's Presidency is nothing but a joke and a failure.

  • OBAMA loses in 2012...

    ...plain and simple.

  • Obama's "Vision that was planted in my brain....still remains within the sound of SILENCE "

    LMFAO

  • I have to agree, Obama dropped the ball on the public option. He let a lot of Americans down and I think this will be his downfall. I like Obama, but he has no backbone when it come down to doing what Americans elected him to do. He has shown he's like every other career politician. He should have stood his ground on this. He let Joe Lieberman and his Insurance cronies keep real health care reform from happening.

  • He never picked up the ball. Obama = Bush.

  • People keep poring over what Obama says and doesn't say, but this is a mistake.

    There has never been the slightest connection between what Obama says and what he does.

  • bastard golfs more than bush

  • cgordon6969

    Its not "free" health care, the people have to pay taxes for it. Gov't collect taxes and in turn uses portion of it to pay medical bill, in other word, single pay system much like Medicad, Medicare, VA

  • TDOG8622

    Actually you never answered my question. Anyway I will answer your question, I'm not medical doctor nor involved in health care arena but I'm more informed about health care issues than you. You don't know what the hell are you talking about

  • Sure whatever you say buddy

  • TDOG8622

    Are you Canadian? If not then shut up.

  • Are you in the health field? Then shut up.

  • demcrats are the same way the are stuped and obama is so stupoesed he iisent american he is for aborshun he has lyed a lot to the people of america he is the worst prisdent in the world bush was bether

  • lol ok well whatever you say

  • Seriously stop posting comments.  Do us all a favor.

  • Obama wants the public option, but he will simply call it something else or he will put in some sort of "trigger" to enact the public option. Make no mistake about it, Obama understands how much money is at stake and he will enact the public option to extract more and more money from the tax payers of this country. That is, unless enough people actually can read between the lines and tell Obama Hell No!

  • looking for a guy who knows his way around a lady's body!

  • Jesus Christ, republicans are stupid!

  • Obama is done.

    Sanders 2012

  • The song...is right

  • thiis is y i dont vote for presidents they are all for the most part jokes,whores, and get away with it from help from congress the lower level whores

  • What do we expect from a black man.

    I remember how we had this black First LT in the army and he couldnt lead us out of a wet paper bag.

    Dont try to throw that Colin Powell stuff at me because the bottom line is when it came time to planning battles he played no part in it. I doubt Barack Obama is even running the show.

    When will you get through your dumb white liberal thick skulls these people cant lead a first world nation, just look at any black city in the United States.

  • Please don't disrespect black people. Blacks are who built this country whether you want to accept that as truth or not!~ Black invented a lot of things white people took credit of inventing.. Thanks for the comment earlier.

  • @dadreamzworld Blacks invented things and built this country? Well how come all the blacks coutnries are 3rd world then? If blacks are so industrious? Did they make factories and manufacturing?

  • @calimar28 ~ blacks were kept in bondage for three hundred years in america, kind of hard to invent things don't you think? they weren't allowed to read or write, own property, keep their families in tact, they were routinely murdered and beaten to be kept in line... and you're talking about their ability to "make factories"?

    as for mexicans "breaking the backs of entitlements", they don't get entitlements moron.

    maybe you should try learning some facts.

  • @tomitstube Why didnt blacks make manufacturing and modren medicene is Uganda? Or Nigeria? How about giving whites due credit for their ingenious production of things? Blacks always pat themselves for sinking a basketball from half court, but whites are never mentioned for the AWESOME controbutions they made...

  • @tomitstube ANd blacksi n AMerica, although slaves 200 years ago, are WAY better of than blacks in their own countries in Africa! So whites have to put up with them, and at the same time we put up with the insults because of slavery, which HELPED blacks since they are here now, ruining our lives.

  • @calimar28 ~ apparently you are not familiar with the slave market in africa, or colonization there for the length of industrialization. you lost your racist argument about america, now you're trying to compare it to africa.

    you won't admit that if african americans had been given the same opportunities as white european immigrants, our history would be full of black accomplishments in every field of endeavor.

    i see you're still trying to pound that racist square into a round hole.

  • @tomitstube Wrong, just look at Africa now. All of it. And Whites are the reason for that, plus the non-sucess of blacks in America where they have it better than anywhere in the world? REALLY?

  • @calimar28 Because white ppl are evil. Thats what they want to show how blacks live, and they know they have idiots like you who will believe everything shown. White ppl steal and say they did things that others done. For instance, all Elvis Presley did was stole black ppls songs and claimed them as his own. Get your head out your ass and learn something you fucking dimwit.

  • @dadreamzworld Elvis? LOL I'm talking about important stuff like manufacturing.

  • I lol'd. Your racist hick parody act is pretty good....it's an act right? right?

    :(

  • It was white men who STOLE and DESTROYED an entire country and everyones lives.

  • My guess isn't that he doesn't want it. it's that he knows we're not gonna get it. There are far too many moderate Dems who vote with the other side. They should change parties so the voters in their states wanting actual Dems in office can vote for someone else.

    Obama is letting us down, but the tone feels different than with Bush. Bush a puppet of evil and money. Obama is too soft and caves to political pressure. It's a disappointment

  • Obama let me down for the last time. After 3 decades of voting for the lesser of the 2 evils I can no longer in good conscience vote again for a democrat or republican. My best hope now is for Grayson and Frankin to turn Independent and run in 2012. But I won't hold my breath.

  • Obama failed us. i feel sad...

  • Obama isn't a liberal, just a moderate conservative pretending to be one.

  • Must say... first time I've enjoyed one of your videos...

  • kind of sad that libs dont even like obama =/

    I mean he really has done nothing he said he was gana do.

  • I hope he is only a one termer. Obama is a very horrible president that is more like a rockstar than anything. He is extremely weak on his sponsoring of any policies.

  • ...and thus American politics works to kill idealism and morality in America...

    ...just another day in plutocracy.

  • *Sigh* Where's a new Progressive Party when you need it?

  • LMFAO I heard that its going to be the Tea Party led by Sarah Palin, or at least that is what Bill O' wants.

  • this is relevant to my interests

  • there is no stupid public option, the democrats killed it today, gave up on it, whatever you want to call it.

    I expect all filthy liberal progressive SCUM to immediately shoot themselves in the face. do it right now you filthy vermin!

    POW POW POW

  • Fric??

    How old are you really?

    Im not insulting or anything of the kind, but I am curious.

  • Coward, sell out, corporate slave. I had low expectations for Obama and he still managed to disappoint.

  • I wonder if Hillary would have fought harder to give all Americans health care or if she would have ended the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. I wanted her to president. Thanks Obama for nothing, you spineless corporate whore!

  • NO PUBLIC OPTION, NO SECOND TERM !

  • Bama is a 'centrist'. Which, to my way of thinking, is a chicken shit Democrat very interested in kissing Republican ass. Maybe he should invest in knee pads and chap stick. I wish I had voted for Jesse Ventura. I would love to see the war crimimnals (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and others) doing prison time.

  • Obama is the charlatan in chief

  • Simon & Garfunkel are amazing

  • Comment removed

  • wait so what did obama do to make him a fascist? fascism is defined in the dictionary as a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism. now tell me how obama is a dictator, and how he suppresses free speech? and next time you wanna spout your psycho ideas and such get your facts right. and maybe try spelling things correctly hmm?

  • He's a fascist? You mean he is a far right supporter of extreme nationalism and a corporatist economic system? Because that's what fascism is all about.

  • yeah dude how is he a fascist? what actions are you talking about exactly. he certainly seems like a pushover and a pussy like most democrats but how is he a fascist? speaking of pussies, if anyone wants to see how a MAN deals with right wing bullshit, check out Kucinich on O'reilly.

  • Mussolini claimed that Italian Fascism's economic system of corporatism could be identified as either state capitalism or state socialism, which in either case involved "the bureaucratisation of the economic activities of the nation."

    Government takes over banks, auto companies and health care and is moving in on all energy production through taxation policies. It wants increased control over internet communications. Power & control is what Obama has been all about. In a word, Fascism

  • Paying for health care, is taking over of health care?

    Still allowing private hospitals and doctors to operate but the government pays for it. That is a take over?

    Besides, if government bailing out companies is facism, then what were the founding fathers doing when they started and ended companies?

  • HappyJack01: How the hell does the government take over auto companies, banks and health care? Particularly when the first two groups were just handed tidy sums of bailout money and sent off, when auto companies could have been incentivised to work exclusively on green tech and buses? Even Friedman believed in effective gov. regulation, and that's all, except cutting the war, you need to do to recover. As for health care... the gov's just proposing a cheap public *option*.The paranoia is insane.

  • Obama is a closet republican he,s just keeping up the image of being a democrat. Until now the only thing he has done is screw the left with some bread crumbs while appeasing the republicans. if only there was a better option than him but unfortunately there isn't. Unless you want some crazy republican running the country.

    His slogan should have been: The 5% change you can believe in the rest is appeasing nut jobs all the way baby.

  • Here's the news Obama is the same as George W Bush,George Herbert Bush,William Jefferson Clinton and every other lying self serving politician puppet feeding at the public trough.

  • I gave up on Obama months ago....

  • Hey your a fucking faggot.. Haha but you liked George Bush and his bullshit.. He was the worst President ever.. that drunk mother fucker from texas.. fuck you and him

  • Tell that jimmy the cricket lookin mutha fucka!~lol

  • haha lol that guy is stupid as fuck.. he can give upon obama when obama attacks the United States.. im suprised that George W. Bush's dumb fucking ass didn't think of it damn lmao

  • How do you know that I am a faggot . Have ever fucked you before? I got nothing against gay but I don't swing that way fam. What make you think I'm a rethug because I gave up on guy that's willing to pass a crappy bill and call it a victory . When that crappy bill that's going to take fours to enact doesn't work because it's been water down so bad , by the state legislator. What are you going to say once the rethugs claim that goverment programs doesn't work?.

  • hey bush was better than obama so far

  • Since you're willing to go along with a crappy bill that has a mandate and is going to be waterdown to the point where it doesn't matter what you have the goverment option or private . If you want to stick by Obama by all means feel free to do. Bush was one of the worst president ,but I got to give him credit for knowing that he had power ,and never had a problem getting what he wanted.

  • lmao

  • Who cares about the public option when the Tiger Woods saga continues to dominate world headlines???

  • I can't believe there isn't a public outcry of rage about the Senate scrapping the public option! What the fuck, liberals!? Where are your balls!? Jesus, everyone in this country is out for themselves! No one ever, ever mentions the fucking poor in this country when discussing the health care issue. Where is there option? Does anyone even give a fuck?

  • Isn't that what we have county facilities for?

  • He can kiss it good bye if it does pass....

  • obama hasn't shown leadership on anything!

  • AWESOME POINT! And song! Thank you.

  • how many things do we expect to be the priority?

  • Democrats are sellouts with a conscience. Republicans are sellouts without a conscience.

  • Ted Kennedy had a conscience? Maybe someone should tell that to the family of Mary Jo Kopechne...or perhapes to Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers...etc

  • Dear god, are you really this desperate?

    Kopechne = accidental car accident.

    Lewinsky = sexual misconduct

    Jones = alleged sexual misconduct

    Flowers = alleged sexual misconduct

    Is that all you got? Seriously?

    Filthy-rich republicans and their pals on Wall Street are literally sentencing our fellow Americans to die slowly and painfully (2,000 per month), by interfering with healthcare overhall; yet all you care about is the fact that Bill Clinton got a blow job? Where are your priorities?

  • We don't want no government take over of health care....

  • would you rather the bullshit corporations have control of it and already aid the deaths of millions of americans?

  • Why not? The coporations running it now are fucking you over big time.

  • Because all politicians are just that politicians they don't care about people but when it's time for election they are angels who are ready to kiss anyones butt.

  • Obama better NOT let his politics override what he vowed to deliver to the American Public. If he let's this bill go without a public option, than he's a pussy-ass and he is just a wolf in sheeps clothing sucking up to the corporate world and the banks. He'd better show some balls if he knows what's good for him!!!!

  • The bill w.o the public option is a fail of a bill. I'm positive the monkeys in our government don't care a lick about the American people. I'm sick to my stomach.

  • By George, now you got it!

  • Obama is a balless, dickless asshole.

  • this video gets one star and I didn't even look at it at all. I'm so sick and tired of Cenk's, Fred Flintstone lookin ass!

  • So, what you are admitting, is that you are basically a human votebot? If you're going to rate videos without watching them, your opinion is MEANINGLESS!

  • Its none of your fucking business why I did what I did!~ I rated the video based on the topic you and no other bitch needs to worry about what the fuck I'm doing!~ I didn't ask you if my opinon meant anything to your old as dirt ass!~ Move the fuck around!~

  • Oh, very good! Nice little votebot! lol

    I don't care what your opinion is, and neither do you!

  • Bitch mind your fucking business you piece of use ass paper!~

  • Ladies and gentleman, the classy conservative movement. At least your use of the word ass means we know you're thinking about 1 thing anyway. lol

  • Was that suppose to be hilarious? If so I'm sure not only me, but the ladies and gentlemen are disappointed in your humor!~

  • Fred Flintstone lookin

    hahahaha thats so funny

  • xxxRightThePowerxxx

    who the fuck are you?

  • 3dartistguy

    what the hell are you talking about?

  • Joseph Lieserman is a tool, and unfortunately my senator!

  • Obama is a liar plain and simple.

  • Fuck Obama. I mean, I'm not surprised he's a bad president. My friends seem to think because I voted for him I must support him blindly, but I knew we were fucked either way. I simply hated him less than McCain.

    FUCK OBAMA

  • GOOD! IMpeACH OBAMA NOW!

  • Obama has shown his true colors. He is a manipulative, cowardly sellout, a stooge for big business mascarading as a bipartisan, an unprincipled go-along-to- get-a-long soulless politician, a traitor to the people who got him elected, a phony coverboy, lip stick on a pig, mask over the elite so they cannot be identified as the butt fuck this country stronger and harder than ever before lying sack of crap.

  • Are you all that NAIVE that politicans rarely if ever do what they promise they are going to do? There's an episode of the old Addams Family tv series in which they delieberetely suppoort a cannidate because they know he will do the oppiste of what they promise! Unfortunately, unemployment has risen under this president because of his unwillingness to do the right thing-like cut taxes because everyone knows by cutting taxes you create jobs-everyone except our uber socialist-Barack hussein Obama!

  • Cutting taxes doesn't always create jobs. How long have the Bush tax cuts been in effect? The middle class and lower class are worse off now.

  • You're comments are silly and naive. Even if all politicians are liars, that doesn't mean I cannot criticize one individual specifically, which is what I did. And cutting taxes is only one tool in the tool bag of economic policy, you don't just pull it out and start swinging it all the time, everytime. You have to use it correctly. By the way, tax cuts were the biggest part of the stimulus package and we are still losing jobs because the system is fundamentally flawed.

  • Politicians who vote against a public option should have their own state health insurance terminated. It's only logical.

  • politicans who vote for a big government federal rationing control of the health care industry should be hung by their testicles-Mussolini style!

  • Perhaps, in the fluffy little world of 3D Art, people might award merit to your delusional ramblings, but out here in reality you just look like an ignorant fucktard.

  • Well I hope you enjoy your higher taxes, bigger government, rationed health care, high unemployment that this President has delievered to you.

  • Healthcare is already rationed.

  • his sound clips are getting better and better

    lol

  • whats the name of that song?

  • Simon and Garfunkel - the sound of silence.

  • Say goodbye to your hopes of ever having any form of taxpayer health care, pick up a broom and mopstick, and compete with the illegal immigrants for their jobs.

  • zacky89

    Then why the hell he ran for the office. If he can't take the heat then he shouldn't be president.

  • People just dont get it,

    The entire system is fighting against Obama,

    the commercials its not only on YOutube

    Its on EVERYWHERE!! the facebook, youtube

    all over the internet.

    Obama is mao shirts on commercial on facebook.

    And people wonder why Obama is bowing down to Republicans. and bankers

  • And thanks for the soud clip of one of the greatest songs ever. :D

  • Shit--make that "sound" clip, of course.

  • I fully intend to vote for Obama over whatever clown the Republican party offers up in '12. But unless "change" is forthcoming and imminent, it's gonna be a pinched-nose vote, let me tell you.

  • you know that Ralph Nader or Kucinich or even Ron Paul exists ? Why limit your choices to the two parties choice that clearly love to have you pick up the soap ?

  • I'd rather vote for someone who actually has a chance in hell of winning, thanks.

  • This is this thinking that prevents other reliable candidate to be elected but this is your choice.

  • Same here.  I'm already in the mind-set that he is just the lesser of two evils.

  • Modern elections require that you vote for the one you hate less.

  • the president needs to talk about the public option non stop and he needs to make a speech about how its about life and death people need to be reminded everyday that while congress is debating little details ppl are dying .i hope congressmen and women lose their healthcare so they can see what it feels like to be gauged. when you get down to it obama is saying if you have money you live if you dont you die. i am so disapointed in obama wtf

  • As an Englishman, I actually feel sad for America.

  • you actually feel bad?

  • Pray for us. We are being led by retards and pawns of the insurance companies.

  • @alandtami Don't worry; I'll sacrifice a chicken everyday...

  • As an American, maybe you feel sad for your own SOCIALIST country.
