  • Obama talks from the left, but is very moderate, As a liberal myself I think he speaks to the contries colloctive common sense seeing how far the republicans have taken this country ever sinse Raegen. He is going to get four more years after Mitt wins the republican primary but not before he gets a handfull of political damage all for the sake of Newt's ego.  You Heard it here first by this time next year Obama will be president with a heavy assist from Newt Gingrich.

  • Obama is a weak pussy. Liberals are a dead legacy. I think the establishment wanted him to be elected because he has a muslim name. That means he can US image overseas after ten years of bloody massacres. The NeoCons still run this country and behind them is the military.

  • @Enigma6662

    No... the gop held the house majority, and they signed a pledge against raising tax cuts, no matter what the situation. Obama gave john a bargain, but john had his boehner too far up norquists asshole to follow. These guys are a disgrace to Ronald Reagan. Even reagan agreed with tax hikes. you see ppl from reagans admin criticizing them.When you have a majority, theres nothing really obama can do about it. hopefully the assholes will get kicked out in 2012.

  • Cenk, you're wrong. 2:13. The Republicans "will not" have a political price to pay. Gerrymandered districts and SuperPACs usually don't result in political turnovers no matter what the political price is.

  • Fareed is just speaking the pure, logical, rational truth. Far-left Liberals like CENK just can't handle it. Some, but not all, liberals, live in a fantasy world devoid of reality, thinking correcting society's problems is as simple as saying the words "yes we can." Its good to be optimistic, but let not that optimism be hijacked by delusion.

  • Fareed is 100% correct. I hate and stopped watching TYT because of Cenk Uygur criticizes everything

  • How the hell is this Fareed on a major American network? Is this guya joke; that we're resorting to people speaking broken English. Send that clown back to the 3rd World dump that he came from.

  • calm down dumb ass!

  • Fareed is absolutely correct. Cenk is why I quit watching TYT and was so glad when MSNBC dumped him. Crybaby fit-pitching liberal progressive leftists are a massive embarrassment not JUST because they think they know more than everyone (calling all teabaggers) but also because their minds are completely closed to the possibility that they may be incorrect. Everytime I hear something about Obama, I research it to be sure, and everytime, I see the firebaggers are comlpetely wrong.

  • Cenk, you're great. And in this case, IMHO, incorrect. Fareed makes a solid point. It's one reason the Republicans have been beating the pants off the Democrats -- SUPPORTING THEIR OWN.

  • Oh, and why is Fareed particularly on-target insofar as Obama's letting go on the obscene, economically disastrous Bush tax cuts? Remember, it's the GOP's House right now, and the Republicans will bite on NOTHING if ending Bush's tax cuts is on the table.

    Until the general election, "nothing" serves their political cause far more than it does the Democrat Executive branch. The GOP's #1 goal is ousting a Democrat from the White House, and stagnation best serves that objective.

  • Ok, so I have to disagree with you this time, Cenk. You want to blame someone? Blame the Republicans. Do you really think Obama has a whole lot to work with here? He is an EXCELLENT negotiator. The American people aren't used to compromise, and moderation. Use your head. The GOP controls the House, Obama is trying to compromise with nutbars. To criticize a centrist as not having principles is ridiculous. If you're mad, get your butts out there and protest against the GOP!

  • It's pretty obvious why MSNBC dumped Cenk and installed the "say nothing bad about Obama" man, Al Sharpton. Cenk had an eye on the issues, as most voters for Obama, and came down on those defeating the issues, be they left, right, or president. This is why I loved tuning in to Cenk--he didn't let anyone get away with BS! Thank goodness for youtube.

  • Today on the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, Fareed Zarcharia on his CNN show GPS, had the nerve to say we have wasted the past decade post 9/11. I am disappointed CNN continues to give this guy a platform to spew his hate for Americans. I say, shame on him and shame on CNN.

  • do you know what the real name is?

  • Fareed and Cenk are like the bling leading the blind.

  • His fantasy seems to be that compromise with the illusory magic middle of Wash DC pr campaigns is smart-n-sensible. Smug sack of tapioca with a dash of weak spice to hip-up a career on corp media. Radical evils of empire, of a massive global wealth-gap that dooms billions to starvation, disease, stunted dreams, & early deaths, & of a looming, global corp totalitarianism don't respond to quaint appeals for moderation and real politic. Global movement for Sharing=justice=peace, or WW III. Reality.

  • You only look at half of Zakaria's video.

    You usually have decent videos, but I heavily disagree with your approach to targeting Zakaria's arguments.

  • Vote ----- Ron Paul

    1. Cut funding to Israel & spend the money in America & for Americans

  • You can just see the dollars falling out of Fareed's mouth here.

  • I'm still waiting for the next real JFK, to please stand up.

  • Tell em' why you mad Cenk!!!

  • Fareed Zakaria can go fuck himself - the patronising cunt.

  • The reason Cenk is not on MSNBC anymore is because Obana couldn't stand the truth anymore.

  • Obama will be Toast in the 2012 Elections!

    Not because Bush,Republican's,Scooby do, japan or any other bull shit he can try and dream up.

    Because, He is in over his head! He is a freaking Clueless community organizer from the streets of Chicago. :-(

    I understand you Lib's thought this man was GOD, I am sorry that your bubble was busted. He's just a robot that stops talking as soon as you kick the TelePrompTer over! :-(

  • @paulstrong123 lol who;s your alternative?

  • Someone should explain to Mr Zakaria how Bush bullied congress into passing illegal wire-tapping bills and two insane tax cuts. He didn't do it by giving stirring speeches; he did it through political maneuvering. All great presidents have employed smart strategies to get things done, and sometimes questionable ones. Lincoln had to play clever politics to get his malicious opposition cabinet in line. He also jailed Maryland rebels illegally to save Washington DC and thus the Union. Leaders lead.

  • I lost a lot of respect for Zakaria. I saw his article in Newseek recently where he goes into all this bullshit about how Obama has played the role he's supposed to play and that congress is to blame, not him.

  • when will progressives learn that dems are not on their side (at least 90%) and get a real liberal like Nader or Grayson their Kucinich their votes?

  • Obama had 5 Goals:

    1) Do the Bidding of the GOP, Corporations, War Industry & Wall-Street AT ALL TIMES, and pretend "Obama lost all the fights because they are too strong".

    2) Make sure Another Black American NEVER GETS ELECTED to the Presidency again.

    3) Make sure to make the Democrat Party A CLONE of the Republican Party.

    4) Make sure to Pocket all the Money from Lobbyists, Wall-Street, AIPAC (Israel), Oil companies & War Industry, and do their Bidding.

    5) Empower Neocons, Destroy USA's Future

  • 'Tea Party' mentality tells the public the democrats take away their rights. After every Obama compromise the conservatives steal & shutdown programs from the tax payers budget.. If people paid attention,. to campaign donors to candidates like Rick Perry.., They'd see in the 'trickledown mentality" of the neo-cons., That $14.3 trillion dollar debt never made it to the common middle or working class Americans. But Obama negotiations has the tax payers footing the bill..

  • The democrats have to wake up.. And consider the leverage Pres. Obama gives up in everyone of his negotiations... The Conservative options in most cases were political suicide... Yet his compromises ripoff the tax payers more & more... In the pay-to-play scheme of Washington DC, that $14.3 trillion dollar debt is not the tax payers tab.., It's the the (corrupt) Washington officials & the (outsourcing) lobbyist bill we're paying... it's WMD's scamming all over... It's slumlording time in the US

  • Fareed Zakaria is a DOUCHE-BAG.

  • Obama doesn't need a "stirring speech." What he needs to do is start protecting the interests of the people who voted him in instead of corporate interests.

    I simply cannot vote for Obama again. He agreed to cut social safety nets in order to redistribute wealth to the extremely affluent. I will write-in Bernie Sanders until the Democrats field a real candidate truly who represents the party of great leaders like FDR. Being slightly less awful than the Republican candidates isn't cutting it.

  • Jinkies Cenk, looks like you pwned Fareed.

  • I hate right-wingers, and I especially don't like Ann Coulter. But I think she was onto something when she described Cenk as the "retarded person' on MSNBC. He screams and yells, rants and raves, and doesn't seem to be any smarter than George Bush.

  • @Biofighter Classic rhetorical tactic... "I hate them"... "but I agree with them in this one": "I hate racists but I agree when they say that black people are stupid"; "I'm an atheist, but I agree with the right wing fundamentalists when they say that R. Dawkins is evil"; "I hate right-wingers, but I agree when they describe Cenk as the "retarded person on MSNBC".

  • This was outstanding TYT

  • Cenk is on fire. Absolutely amazing.

  • Cenk...you are contradicting yourself! Obama is simply a republican. When the Dems screw you they are weak but the republicans are labeled crooked.... CENK....THEY ARE ALL CROOKED!!!

    GODDAMN IT CENK!!!!!

    RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!!!!

  • @gary031183 ...., CORRECTION!!!!!. ... Obama's a "manchurian republican" tagged as a democrat... Before every negotiation Obama talks,walks & looks democrat..., After he compromises to the conservative agenda negotiation after negotiation he televises an " excuse speech"... Democrats should expect his next one (excuse speech) after "The super (deficit) committee's " tax payer's ripoff....

  • Lets send this video and spam Fareed Zakria's twitter account!!!!

  • @fatman1001 Done. :)

  • @fatman1001 TURKS HAVE BAD TEMPER, LIKE MY DAD LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

  • Cent for president!

  • Cenk is the shit, GET 'EM

  • Liberals have only themselves to blame for Obama's failures. He didnt have any experience or any record. Admit it: you fell for his speeches and his poetry and started masturbating to his voice. Why are you pissed off now? You projected your vision on Obama and now you are blaming him for falling short? Grow up!

  • One wacky muslim. Don't like America, then get your ass down the road.

  • @TheImpeacher

    Biggest news show on the internet.

    We are legion.

  • @TheImpeacher because it's all the muslims' fault right

  • Liberals and progressives need to realize that Obama is a part of the establishment, which means that he is a servant to big business, the international finance-capitalists and the UN-NAFTA globalists.

  • @SkullOfYorick Thank you!

  • Well, golly, that certainly isn't incredibly simplistic.

  • @Winthorpej Would you like to tell me how Obama and Bush are different? The war on terror, the war on drugs, the FDA war on raw milk and other natural foods, nation-building, centralized educational reforms that destroy the independence of the teaching profession, the PATRIOT Act, Gitmo, selling the country out to China, bailouts and other corporate welfare, and now we have extrajudicial executions of US citizens: now that's what I call continuity.

  • welcome back cenk

  • this dipshit's balanced position is to bend over, take it all in, and in addition, offer to give a blowjob once you're done.. and all you obama worshippers and obama cultists out there, fuck you too, you ain't one fucking bit different from those republicans whom you so passionately hate..

  • The Democratic Party need to ditch Obama right now and start building support for a Democrat that might stand a chance of winning with the mill stone of Obama's record going into the election.

    I don't particularly care for her but I think they need to get behind Clinton and get going on the campaign trail.

  • Fareed Stake sounds like an old grandma. What a lame tactic

  • Obama is not negotiating. When you negotiate you get something you supposedly want. Obama got what he wanted so he didn't realize he didn't supposedly "get" something for "giving" what he did. Obama is in total alignment with the Republicans. So much so, he can't even pretend to be doing anything else because that something else doesn't really exist. And he's feeding the public a shit sandwich with with big eyes and a smile. Wake up people. Obama is a Trojan Horse pretending.

  • Fucking liked and favorited, that's what this video is.

  • Cenk is a total rube. There's a reason why Fareed is the Editor of TIME Magazine while Cenk couldn't even get a show on MSNBC. There's no place for petulant idiots on MSNBC or CNN. At least Maddow is informative and intelligent, and gives credit where credit is due. This Cenk idiot seems to think that being angry and vociferous is sufficient for insightful political analysis.

  • @Biofighter the heritage foundation called, they want their very mentally arthritic ass kisser back.

  • @Biofighter exactly

  • Well done Cenk...

    NO, Obama is MATURE and though MISTAKENLY he was dealing with INTELLIGENT, INTELLECTUALS ...

    ...but no, he is dealing iwth childish partisan fools, ideological sociopaths, and GREEEDY WHITE MEN and WOMEN within Congress interested only in themselves not the country for which they WERE ELECTED TO SERVE THE PEOPLE'S INTERESTS.

    PS: What a bunch of claptrap...a poor example as somepne he thinks he understnads and practices psychology.

    Come to DC in October & Let Them Know!

  • The idea of voting for anyone in 2012 makes me sick at heart. I don't think I can do it in good conscious. Democrat/Republican, two sides of the same rotten coin. I'd like to see the D.C. establishment on trial for selling out the American people. They made a clear choice, the few who have it all over the many who have little.

    Fuck 'em all.

  • Even little children know that giving bullies what they want will only motivate them further. Obama's presidency can be summarized in two words: false hope. I feel like my voice in this country is mute, as if no one in Washington represents my point of view at all. Obama doesn't represent democratic and progressive principles - he fulfills the republican party's agenda, then allows those very people to blame him for the failures brought by that agenda. It's hard to imagine a worse president

  • @brianbernsteintv dude, but if you need results, someone has to give...

  • @ihofaerefa

    It's naive to think you can ALWAYS compromise with people... Obama appears to think that if he gives the republicans what they want enough times, they'll stop stone-walling everything he does. No so. In fact, OBVIOUSLY not so. Obvious to everyone on the left but our idiot president. 

  • Grow up and tax the millionaires and billionaires~!

  • Obama is a plant by the federal reserve. Most presidents have been for some time now. His loyalty is not to the American people but to a banking cartel. 

  • Obama SHOULD be moving heaven and earth to save the economy just like Washington did for the banks. Instead, he goes out campaigning on a bus MADE IN CANADA and then goes to Martha's Vineyard for vacation.

    Fuck you, Obama. MY VACATION GOT SCRUBBED BECAUSE THERE'S NO FUCKING MONEY FOR ONE. Eat shit, asshole.

  • Fareed and Cenk are both progressive socialists. Love seeing them disagree on how socialistic we should become.

    Clue: Americans hates socialists

  • @spkngrmn Jesus was a socialist

  • @stupidtrooper501 So was Hitler what's your point?

  • @spkngrmn america loves jesus thats what is my point. obvious troll is obvious

  • @stupidtrooper501 Troll? lol is that the best you've got? You progessive socialists hate Jesus & the Bible, what are you talking about? Cmon commie, tell us how socialism & communism will succeed here in America. Explain how each will benefit a country of our size and exactly how each would be implemented.

    I'll say it again, Americans have no desire to become a socialist society.

  • @spkngrmn troll troll troll I'll say it however many times i want. also you never said Americans do not want to become a socialist society you just said they hate socialists so i pointed out the most famous socialist who also is loved by America. clue progressivism =/= socialism cenk wants to regulate the banks making him a progressive i want to nationalize them big difference. lastly socialism benefits the lower classes and creates more income equality helping....

  • @stupidtrooper501 Prove Jesus was a socialist. I'll be waiting for this humdinger of a response. How old are you 16? Just from your prescripted cult propaganda I can tell you're not a very educated person.

    Instead of following your socialist cult leaders, whomever they may be, try being a free thinker for once. I understand that's a foriegn concept to you cult followers butmaybe you'll raise yourself above the lower class you speak of.

  • @spkngrmn Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.'"

    “What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul.”

  • @stupidtrooper501 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.'

  • @stupidtrooper501 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions.

  • @stupidtrooper501 He said also to the one who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.

  • @stupidtrooper501 Woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. --

  • @spkngrmn Canada can be said to be far more 'Socialist' than the US, and is doing exponentially better than we are. Why? Because of what they GET for their tax dollars. Free healthcare, etc etc. It's an excellent system, and works beautifully. Ours doesn't.

  • @spkngrmn ....to fuel a consumer based economy not a market based economy that is recession resistant just like in germany and norway but for me to explain how it will be implemented is a waste of my time as i know you will just ignore me. BTW socialists are against religion not belief because for most of history religion has been a major source of violence. obvious troll is obvious

  • @stupidtrooper501 You want America to resemble Germany who just reported .01% GDP growth? Norway is a capitalist welfare nanny state of only 5 million people compared to USA 310 million people & has a "mixed" (consumer/free market) economy.

    I'm sorry you feel the need for govt to prop your life up, wipe ur arse, and dole out cash since you're incapable of supporting yourself. You want to suck on the govt tit because you can't make it on your own merit. In other words you're useless, I get it.

  • @spkngrmn you listen to to much limbaugh. ( nanny state,govt tit,,dole out) then you tell him to be a" free thinker"......what joke......you cant do that for yourself.... you sound like sean hannity jr. kissed rupert murdoch's ass lately?

  • @TheBabyboomkidof53 And you accuse me of talking points? Bahahahahahaha!!!! How about this... you and your socialist buddy can't seem to provide for yourselves so you rely on govt handouts, you know, sweet sugar daddy. I do not watch TV nor listen to talk radio, I read. A new concept to you probably since an education is needed and you're definitely lacking there. Let me ask you this upchuck... what are you afraid of? Scared I'm actually correct? Are you a closet limbaugh/hannity fan?

  • @spkngrmn If it looks like a duck....walks like a duck.....quacks like a duck......it's a duck. got news for you bud......YOUR A DUCK!!!!!.........quack,quack,­quack,quack,quack.....

  • @spkngrmn You are just cherry picking, troll. The well known fallacy of incomplete evidence. Why don't you also consider the facts that contradict your claims? Yes Germany reported a Second-Quarter Growth of 0.1% (not 0.01%, learn the facts), but in 2010 German economy reported a growth of 3.6% as opposed to 2.8% of your beloved "consumer/free market" USA economy. What about Norway? Norway has "only" the highest HDI score of the planet and the second highest GDP per-capita of the world.

  • @LordVoldemort1987 norway does not have the 2nd highest GDP in the world. youi gotta be kidding me

  • @JullianChua GDP PER CAPITA. Next time read more carefully.

    

  • Government spending never helps the middle class or the poor. That is a huge fallacy.

  • Obama is a spineless pussy. He can't even put up a decent fight. He folds like wet cardboard. The economy is entirely fucked and what does he do? Does he hold an urgent business summit to figure out how to create jobs? Does he surround himself with the best business minds in the country? No. he does not. He goes out campaigning..... right before he goes on vacation. What a fucking asshole. He is a fucking disgrace.

  • @Muzzy337 no he isnt a pussy, he just doesn't represent you. He represents the lobbyists who put him into power.

  • Obama a "Socialist"?! If anything, he's a "moderate conservative"!

  • "I bet I win" doesn't work when the republicans are threatening a default of the nation unless they get their way. If the republicans are not willing to compromise on anything, then what do you do? Stand your ground? And then, when the nation has defaulted...do you say you won? Well congratulations, now you're thinking like a tea party republican. You're willing to destroy the country as long as you hold your ground. Fareed is exactly right; Obama doesn't have magic powers, he only had 1 option

  • @radscorpion8 Wait so because the Republicans made a threat he has to do 100% of what they want? What if they said, "Corporations should pay 0% taxes". Should he cave then too because of their "threats". They were empty threats in any case, they weren't gonna let the debt default.

  • TYT are commies 

  • The problem here is the man the people elected is now governing like a right leaning Republican. That isn't compromise, that's bait & switch. He stands up for NOTHING anymore. Just gives speeches but no action

  • "racist ... racist ... racist." You are so articulate Stink Ugly. Young Jerks is, like, so post-modern.

  • @pkpapers whos racist? lol

  • Fareed Zakaria, go home.

  • WTF obama wants to fight with progressive and not republicans. WHEN DID WE BECOME THE BAD GUY.

    obama staffer sends email bashing progressives WTF. democrats want a fight with progressives then bring it, i am tired of democrats and republican BULLSHIT

    progressive need to reorganize and take the democratic party because democrats have been pussies for years

  • @trounbyfire: Only 20% of Americans or so are Liberal or whatever you call them today, "Progressives". No recent stats since 2009, but I would venture to guess that number is now a bit lower. One fact is, Liberals got lucky in 2008 when Independents were fooled. That has since changed. Independents have now virtually abandoned the Democratic party.

    Liberalism just doesn't align with facts, reality, logic, or common-sense

  • @PerryRubio2012 next time you are driving on the interstate i want you to think about how it just doesn't align with facts, reality, logic, or common-sense

    you are a moron not all democrats are progressive so don't group us together

  • @trounbyfire WROTE: "you are a moron not all democrats are progressive so don't group us together".

    Try reading my comment again, dipshit. I referenced "liberal" or "progressive" several times in one comment, yet somehow you missed it. You should stop spending your time with politics & work on 3rd grade level literacy & comprehension skills.

  • @PerryRubio2012 sorry i was reading another comment and added that part my mistake but you are a moron

  • @trounbyfire progressive/liberal same thing

  • @100crawma NO the progressive are a party with in the democrats. they get grouped together but have dramatically different idea which is why progressives are bitching about obama. even nancy pelosi has been at odds with obama on many things but every time she comes around because they are party of the party but she is a progressive leader

    the progressive caucus put out a budget deal before obama did that was very different so don't group us

  • looks like Cenk really got butt-hurt over this one, too bad that Fareed was mostly correct if you actually watched his entire take on the matter

  • @g13iceman lol, regardless of whether or not Cenk was offended, he is absolutely correct about Fareed's baseless defense of Barack Obama.

  • I kind of just don't get this debate at all because when Bill Clinton called Barack Obama a "fairy tale" in 2008, everyone on the left said he was washed up, jealous of Obama's political skills, losing his marbles, and probably kind of racist. So where do liberals get off discussing "fantasies" and how Obama should be tougher on the Republicans?

  • Ron Paul "The one who can beat Obama"

  • @MrRex1235 right.....

  • @jaroncreed lol can u imagine ron paul and obama going back and forth about the economy... u probably supported the stimulus...

  • @lnclincoln and you gather all that information about me just from me saying "right." wow you are amazing, can I hire your psychic ability to help find my lost dog???

  • "Obama is a bad negotiator" the greatest thing I've heard all day Cenk! Great video TYT

  • I wonder why shills like Fareed are constantly invited by the likes of Jon Stewart but Cenk hasn't been on there once.

  • Dear TYT, I love you guys and gals. You, and internet articles, are my only news source. You keep me informed on current events and laughing at the same time. Thank you for broadcasting. You're my favorite. Have a superawesome day. Love, Ashlee.

  • Great video. I watched that segment live. All I could think at the time was, "WHAT? Obama never compromised, he capitulated!" It's not that liberals are whining about only getting 30% or 40% of what they wanted, they're whining about getting 0%, and I thank you for pointing that important fact out.

  • @nukells: If Liberals are whining about getting "0%" of what they wanted, it's rather strange that Conservatives got an ass-load of things they didn't want:

    Massive Stimulus ... Health Care bill ... Cash-for-Clunkers ... Massive Omnibus bill ... Ledbetter bill ... Frank-Dodd bill ... so-called Jobs bill ... so-called Mortgage Rescue bill .. etc

  • @busboysanalogy

    lol@"racist teabaggin' 'tards". You should help the president with his speeches, perhaps...

    You are absolutely right. He hasn't made the case forcefully enough that we need to make the wealthy shoulder their fair share of the tax burden. That being said, I don't think you can expect him to get his way 100% of the time. He's dealing with a difficult situation in Congress and a population who really will not understand certain things no matter how clearly he articulates them.

  • I killed Big Foot recently after hunting him for 10 years, and immediately dumped the body out at sea.

    Believe me, it was him, I ran his DNA.

    So why the hell do people look at me funny when I tell them my tale?

  • Cenk - run for political office in CA. you got my vote.

  • Obama's been a HORRIBLE President. I think it's a bit of BS to simply blame the "republicans" for all the Presidents fuck-ups. HE signed legislation into law, HE started an illegal war in Libya and God knows where else. HE extended the Patriot act and kept secret prisons open. HE sent more troops into the middle east etc etc. Not to say that members of congress on BOTH sides of the isle didn't play their role in this madness, but so did Obama. Is Cenk voting for Obama in 2012? If so, WHY?

  • @DeJach I don't care if Obama had Bin Laden hiding in a closet in the Oval Office and they played PS3 every damn nite....I'm STILL voting for Obama refuckingardless!!!!! And most of us will..... :-P

  • @busboysanalogy

    ... and you think Americans would have understood that their unemployment checks were stopped because of mentally ill racists and not because of Obama? You give us more credit than I do...

    The president is a bit of a lightening rod. He has to spell out his case a little more clearly than the opposition, because they have the benefit of not being in the White House.

    At least the Bush tax giveaways are still temporary. He wouldn't have gotten that had he waited either...

  • good to see libturds go after each other. so refreshing.

  • Obama ran on a distinctly liberal platform. As soon as he got in office, he proceeded to betray everything he said he stood for. We are right to be angry. To say otherwise is shear idiocy.

  • @Bobbiethejean I agree.

  • @busboysanalogy

    Oh, and by the by, "Democrat" is NOT A FUCKING ADJECTIVE!!! I don't care what Faux News says.

    It's "Democratic majority". Get it right.

    You say Obama had to pass the Dec. 2010 compromise bill or unemployment benefits would've run out and you simultaneously say he caved. Well, if he had to pass the bill, how could he have caved? What was his other option?

    I think he DID have the option of not getting the bill passed, but that would mean he'd be dealing with teabaggers instead of regular Repugs. According to your own logic, the teabaggers were part of the political calculus here.

  • you can tell cenk doesnt believe the drivel he is spouting

  • feeling IMF'd yet? UNified? Enjoy listening to limeys and other foreigners telling Americans how to be patriotic and take it in the ASS? Kick these foreigners OFF the news and out of the district of criminals.

  • poor cenk, still trying to stay relevant, the young turds  at their best

  • @100crawma Of course, he is relevant, even to teabaggers like you, otherwise you'd stick to O'Reilly's ass all the time!

  • Keep up the passion, It great listening to TYT. The passion, about the issues has Cenk sees them is great. I can't tell if he wrong on many issues, but he really engages me to hear all he has to say. Keep it up, It would be great if many more TV news people were like you.
