  • Is there anybody who's actually surprised by this? I mean I understand if you don't know who he is. But SERIOUSLY? This guy couldn't do my taxes. Obama's doesn't want to learn anything, CENK! He's a tool of the sith lords who put him in power! Larry Summers, Timothy Geithner, the ENTIRE FREAKING Council on Foreign Relations is in OBAMA's CaBiNeT.

    Rocky Anderson is the only candidate in 2012. Ron Paul is the antichrist part 3.

  • Yeah, fuck the Obamasheeples. This shit is sad.

  • You make no arguments in the video! just buzz words like 'progressive', if you're so against bank de-regulation tell us why for christs sake! Tell us what's wrong with Larry Summers!

  • @barbicaine They lay it out all the time, just not in this specific video.

  • @batshitcrazy007 Unfortunately, I am going to be voting for him again, because Bernie Sanders and Howard Dean aren't running.

  • Does anyone ever feel lost or stupid because you feel like you don't know enough? We get pieces through news but is there something that contains all of these events. For example what exactly caused the 2008 recession or what caused the attack on 9/11. I want to be very politically educated and I don't know how to go about it? What should I read as far as books, websites, or forums to get smart?

  • I think they have photos of Obama tied to a bed with a hooker or something..

  • @stuartjamesgemmell Yep. Larry Summers is probably more powerful than the President in some way.

  • I think when Obama signed the NDAA he made a mistake. He actualy likes civil liberties. He just didn't know what he was doing. I don't think he'll make the same mistake on SOPA though. hahaha! Mabey sign it at the last moment when nobody's looking?

  • Wake the Fuck up people.. These banks own the politicians Clinton, Bush, Obama. Obama is just the latest puppet.

    Stop thinking Left Vs. Right, Conservative Vs. Liberal these are devices to divide the public. America can be fiscally responsible and help the people who are struggling, it's not one or the other.

    Bill Still's The Money Masters is a great place to start.

  • I wonder if mrs. Obama is progressive enough to divorce him at some point.

  • Comment removed

  • I been telling you people for years Obama is a fucking MOLE. God damn! when are you just going to accept the truth of what you've been speculating about since about the third month of this asshole's presidency. Yes we've been had. Once again this god damned two party system has fucked us over.

  • @youngturks cenk when you say obama supporter you voted for him and have a 99 percent chance id say in voting for him again that makes YOU an Obama supporter , its not enough just just call out both sides make your vote mean something and vote neither side if enough ppl follow you you can change the course of your country you speak to millions put it to good use for once

  • The sub titles were a bit more accurate than usual; so when it read "exactly as they are have" I flipped at the audio. XD

  • I hate politicians

  • politics, illusion, two words, BOHEMIAN CLUB.

  • Cenq, it amazes me how you are so informed by yet remain so naive as to continue to believe a right-left agenda exists. Obama gets his orders from from his handlers and supporters. Face it, there intentions are too drastically change the world and it is not in the best interest of free people. There control is vast and laws and morals mean nothing.

  • Obama didn't choose Larry Summers to head up the world bank, rather, the world bank chose Larry Summers and Obama the puppet will take the blame. The banks run our country. Banks create money from thin air and loan it out at interest and the Govt "borrows" the money the banks created from thin air, so who do you think is in charge?

    If I created money from thin air and you had to borrow it from me and pay interest on it, who would you say is in charge? You or me?

  • You don't understand Cenk, Obama can sing.

  • not a mistake, pretty sure he meant to do it.....Obama is a secret ultra republican

  • The difference between Barrack Obama and the Republican Canidates is that Obama always finds a way to Screw something up even if everyone thought there is no way to screw it up he somehow does! Another thing is that if you are going to deregulate at least do it right!!!

  • Larry Summers signed a memo in 1992 which stated "I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest-wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that," according to The New York Time. That tells you tons about him.

  • All these people who are blatantly wrong for the jobs they are being appointed shows how corrupt,and the criminal insiders are their to ruin this country by design.

  • Paul's wants to put banks on a hard asset standard. How on earth is that "deregulating"?

  • No Cenk, u dont understand! Obama is playing long-term 3 dimensional chess!

  • When Cenk got silent i said Larry Summers, then when he said it i screamed "HAHAAAA" and clapped my hands lol.

  • What the Fuck?!

  • Larry Summers is a terrorist. Someone needs to make a citizen's arrest.

  • @scottandrewhutchins HA! good luck with that! citizen arrest does not apply to people in power.

  • @scottandrewhutchins Well thanks to the retard law we can throw him strait into a cell where no light shall ever reach his eyes again, and never give him any real justice, because you know he's a terrorist.

    Use the governments own idiocy against it

  • It's impossible for a reasonable person to think that Obama is liberal.

  • @scottandrewhutchins they think he is the most liberal in history lmfao

  • @TheBrandond20 Because our education system sucks from all the defunding.

  • @TheBrandond20 The people who say that don't. They just say he's liberal because that's dumbass republican code for SOCIALIST. Idiots. If Obama's a socialist my grandmother was Genghis Khan. Fascist Fascist Fascist. Do you want Fascist Blue or Fascist Red. That's what's left now. Two choices of Fascists.

    Rocky Anderson 2012!

  • Obama has lest spine then Alexander Kerensky.

  • dam Obama is disappointing me i cant vote for pimpen newt he openly dosnt like black ppl i guess o have to vote for obezzy i want to vote for ron he seems sane and down to earth but hes still a republican and republicans and blacks go together like bush and a huccain in new Orleans

  • @tinyface dude you're not serious right? Just checking to make sure that at least people who get news from youtube know that Ron Paul will do more for blacks than any president since the start of the drug war...

  • It is not a mistake. It is all a plan.

  • Surprise surprise, Larry is jewish. Why is it that every world bank, imf, federal reserve , etc is jewish. This is no coincidence

  • @luxedge read a history book.

  • Obama is proof of how badly money can corrupt politics.

  • @Demov12 *figuratively

  • @Demov12 "Obama is literally jizzing in his supporters face and they are just opening their mouths."

    Literally?

  • @Demov12 I dislike both Obama and Paul, and I refer to those who spam caps and post obsessive comments about Paul on videos that have nothing to do with him Paulbots. Why do nearly all of his supporters assume that Obama is the only other option? I and many others find ALL of the choices to be incompetent, and will not be voting.

  • @Demov12

    What makes you think that recognizing the obnoxious fanaticism of Ron Paul supporters is just an Obama thing?

  • Cenk, I think you're a good man, and I agree with everything you're saying, but keep in mind: Al Gore, the owner of CurrenTV, worked as Bill Clinton's VP while Larry Summers was Clinton's Financial Adviser. It's not just Obama who's pro-corporatist; it's the whole pool of politicians -- including Al Gore. In fact, almost every financial person or aide that's worked for Clinton and Gore, now works for Obama; and Gore's received donations from corporations and banks for his global warming work.

  • The top rated comments are great so funny

  • Comment removed

  • You know after thinking about, dont we just have another clinton in the white house? the clintons pulled offf acting like liberals but made millions out of their corporatist patrons. obams is doing the same thing.

  • Summers is a corporatist douchebag. is obama having to repay his new friends on wall street with appointments like this. summers is a republican lite corporatist bag licker.

  • I wonder how long it's going to take Cenk to come to an "OF COURSE!" moment, when he realizes the Democratic party is just shy of being as corrupt at the Republican party; just with a slightly different list of backers. Obama's #2 campaign backer, Goldman Sachs; Romney's #1 campaign backer, Goldman Sachs.

  • Good Cenk, now get behind the damned alternative already!

    Ron Paul will KILL the banks power, are you man enough to back him up? Or will you keep using the excuse that he's a grumpy old white man to leave your viewers with NO alternative to Obama?

  • @peterfulification How would further deregulation of the banks in an effort to turn the economy into a "free market" be any better than what Obama is doing right now? How exactly does deregulation "kill" the banks power?

    Logic.

  • @peterfulification

    Shut the hell up. Ron 'Capitalism run amok' Paul won't do a damn thing.

  • @SSTTEEAALLTTHH Oh you bet he will :)

  • The only way we will get our America back is if we do it buy force. We are the military, we are the police and we are the power. It's time to turn this peaceful Mr Luther King protest into a Malcolm X protest. By any means necessary..

  • Banksters are the ones really running our world. We know that money itself determines what WE do with our time and what government does with its time. Yet, we fail to acknowledge that those who issue and control the flow of currency have disproportionate power to decide what society shall do.

  • Yea fuck Summers.

  • Well TYT hasnt done shit but bitch and complain. Yes, you tell the story but until people are informed about what is going on they will continue to vote for the corporate appointed. You don’t like Ron Paul cause he’s a racist but who else will actually do something about the government being bribed every damn election? Tell me Cenk! You guys are nothing but hot air too and fluff. Really

  • @RealSmellyFrog Cenk's trying to show people what's really going on in Washington and trying to motivate people to reconsider how politics work in this country. But I do agree with you about TYT doing very little outside of that. Hell, Wolf-PAC's done almost nothing from what I've gathered.

  • @BlazingAzureTheta good point I'm really believe its all sham.

  • LOVE the videos but TYT, Alex Jones, and Ron Paul have LOTS in common lately. Their channels LITERALLY talk about the same issues & all 3 agree with each other. Hope you guys team up some day soon

  • Obama don't do it!!!!

  • 95 percent of Americans have no idea who Larry Summers is lol

  • What people dont get is every president is the same we need a revolution but now adays that thought is farfetched pussy ass american people.

  • If the main culprits behind the collapse of the housing market (essentially the 08 economic collapse) can be narrowed down to three people, Larry Summers would be number 1. Wake up America and educate yourselves!

  • How do I die Q~Q

    Do I elect the electric chair or the hanging rope

    Someone tell me!!!

  • Cenk Uygur please stand for the presidency !

    We will make you win !

  • I hate Obama more than I hate Bush. Never thought i'd ever say that.

  • @heyyy19

    I've been there for over 2 years now.

  • Love the Canadian twang at the end, soory ass excuses :)

  • I'd rather have a republican in office than keep Obama as president and have Summers as head of the World Bank

  • @hurley3000gt The only republican choices are either creationists racist bigots or nutters or for the most part, all the above, sad choice and situation to have to pick between them.

  • WAKE UP TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER

  • Comment removed

  • if obama had half a brain and was truly progressive he would have appointed stiglitz to head economic adviser. but he appointed one of the most pro-bank economists in the world in summers and is now appointing him to the WB.

  • *headdesk*

  • god damn it i'm fuckign sick of this chicken shit going on in our country. how the fuck did we let it get to this. this is fucking disgusting

  • @SeriouslyPissedOff My question to you when was somebody in any country not getting screwed. In past in america minorities where getting screwed over probably still are. I would have say why it took people so long to notice they were getting screwed over

  • @bumfire007 Probably still are? OF COURSE they still are. What did you hope to accomplish with this comment? What we're experiencing now is WIDESPREAD butt fucking as compared to just butt fucking minorities. Now 99% of people are minorities. Fuck.

  • @bumfire007 No possibly about it, they are, the trans community is a prime example (a community that resorts to porn acting in order to make money to live because of so many bigots and a lack of protection laws)

  • Fuck obama, I'm not even going to capitalize his name anymore.

  • @thenoobassassin woh you really got him.

  • "President Obama has not learned anything" LOL - Is it not clear to you that he works with banking industry all the time - for a journalist reasoning is not your stronger side

    But its Obama right - It is a mistake

    If it was Ron Paul It would be "I have a verdict - Ron Paul (boom boom boom) GUILTY

    He works for the banking loby" - way to go "Independent prograsive media" (yeah right)

    OH and pastor Wright and Obama (mistake doesnt matter) vote Obama

    Ron Paul and Newsletters = guilty - rasist

  • Rocky Anderson

  • cont...If ppl would like a more well rounded view of Obama please go to bobcesa.com/blog-archives/2012­/01/progressives-and-evaluting­-the-president.html. Obama may not be the perfect president progs want him to be (hell no one is or was) but he's not exactly Obama The Terrible either.

  • @ChiGuy251 Get your head out of Obongos ass... that piece of shit is nothing short of GWB's third term.

  • Gawd, Cenk is such a professional whiner, if you notice he does this everytime he gets into a big fight with supporters on twitter. They have the nerve to actually disagreee with him so he throws a tantrum like a child and does shit like this. The Andrew Sullivan article bothered him because it laid out a case contrarian to the narrative he's been pushing all along (which was mostly negative) so he takes to youtube and upload videos bashing Obama to lash out at them....

  • Capitalism fails again!

    (htt) (p:/) /news.firedoglak (e.co) m/2012/01/19/hedge-funds-putti­ng-together-chutzpah-lawsuit-t­o-sue-greece-for-debt-in-human­-rights-court/

  • Cenk, the look on your face reminds me of the look you had in that other recent vid where you were silent for so long. I'm worried that you're starting to despair. Don't give up yet. There's still hope as long as there are people who care.

  • CENK! Its time to stop commenting and revolt, none of them are on our side! None!

  • you dont have to be a Mayan to predict where this is going.

  • @complex5150 Lool you took the thoughts right out of my head....Big-Brother state, here we come.

  • Watch 'The Warning' on Youtube to see the derivatives henchmen: Rubin & Summers.

  • Ron Paul vs Mitt Robama.

  • this is why Ron Paul get so much heat from both left and right

    he dont rolls for the banker

    romney and obama are both sponsored by goldman sachs by millions...

    choose wisely america

  • @madtrade No he just wants to cut their taxes and end their regulations

    Unlike mitt and obama he doesn't have to be bribed to suck their cock he'll do it for free!

  • @dffykvn

    So true. People act as if Ron Paul is the heir apparent; the savior of all saviors. But Ron Paul is so totally against regulating big business that he probably bring the U.S.A. down to the level of Somalia for crying out loud.

  • @willia3r Those assholes treat somalia as a success story

    Somalias a bad example a hideous combination of foxconns work rules, chinese cancer villages environment, nigerian blood diamond miners worker protection and union status of colombian worker (try unionizing and you get labelled "farc terrorist" or are targeted by a right wing privatized death squad)

  • @dffykvn err hit post before I finished with "is a better example"

  • When will you realize obama does not make decisions he just follows orders. That is why Ron Paul in 2012 is so important regardless if you agree with him or not.

  • Me! Me! He's going to pick me! What? Larry Summers? Why the hell would he do that?!?

  • It's still better than Paul Wolfowitz. That guy flat out stole money from the W.B.

  • I don't like to believe in conspiracy theories but there's just too many Jews in charge of the most important monetary institutions!

  • lol at the captions

  • CENK = REPUBLICAN

  • @Chesedrosen You = Idiot.

  • OBAMA 2012 ! Stick with the party you pussies.

  • @Chesedrosen So I'm not aloud to criticize my party anymore. If they do something I don't agree with or is just plain wrong I should just not say anything?

  • @Chesedrosen ok mr.Obama bot trolly troll

  • Um that's exactly it. Nothing good or bad has happened. So suck it. They are waiting for us to get comfortable with the unemployment as it is and then we're gonna be really fucked.

  • jesus, can we please get some criticism of Obama that has some substance...

    i get it, Obama doesn't appoint people that you would but how has it translated negatively in terms of policy? what disaster has happened under Obama's watch? In what way has Obama's appointees failed the country?

  • @DannyEmbry

    1. Failed to push back on tax cuts to the wealthy

    2. Failed to fight for the public option

    3. Failed to bring criminal charges against Wall Street CEO/executives responsible for subprime mortgage fraud

    4. Failed to pull us out of Afghanistan

    5. Failed to fight for Public Option in healthcare

    6. Signed National Defense Authorization Act, parts of which could literally define ANY American as a terrorist to be detained indefinitely without trial

  • @willia3r eh..

    1-also gave the largest middle class tax cuts in history with his stimulus

    2-ya, but he also negotiated that insurers must spend atleast 80% of their revenue on actual healthcare services...not too shabby IMO

    3-that's the nature of an LLC, the scumbags are protected by corporate law

    4-i hear ya

    5=2

    6-any prez would sign that, too much of our economy is locked in that bill & a senate majority of 100 said yes to it, even if he vetoed they'd push it through and he'd look like a bitch

  • @willia3r and again...criticism with substance, not a litany of things you personally don't like or think you'd do different

  • @DannyEmbry

    If you are expecting a 15 page Phd style research paper you will be sorely disappointed. Fact of the matter is, Obama is a weak President.

    He could have rammed through some Franklin Delano Roosevelt-style legislation in the first 2 years of the Presidency where the Democrats had a solid majority in both houses. In the Senate even if he didn't have all 60 votes he could have just used the simple majority/reconciliation method that Bush had used MANY times.

  • @willia3r what you call a love-fest, i call an objective realization of the truth in the face of my initial disappointment

    i get Obama is not what you consider strong, but a republican prez:

    would not have done the stimulus

    would not have helped GM

    would not get DADT repealed

    would not stop enforcing DOMA

    would not sign lily ledbetter

    would not restarted stem cell research

    would not have signed dodd-frank

    would not have done health reform

  • @DannyEmbry Lesser of two evils, dude. You need to check out VoteRocky+org

  • @DannyEmbry

    But he did not. He decided to be a pussy. I'd rather have a one term President who at least had the cojones to pass some great legislation than a 2 term President who passed nothing worth speaking about.

    But don't let me stop you from engaging in your Obama love-fest. But I have a strong feeling that you will be the only one at the party.

  • @L0OOOooooOOOOOOOOL

    the top comment has nothing to do with Ron Paul's international policies.

  • Hey everybody, remember the guy that contributed greatly to the insane policies that led our economy and indeed the global economy to the brink of collapse? Here's an idea, now I know you're going to chuckle a bit when I say this but, hear me out... Lets make that guy HEAD OF THE WORLD BANK!!! Oh man, do you think the public would let us get away with it?? -- OF COURSE! 90% of people don't pay attention to anything in this world!... I bet this old maniac does get the position.

  • More importantly, WHY does the US even have a world bank? Sounds like another way for the bankers to screw us.

  • Comment removed

  • My Hope has turned to a different four letter word that starts with H.

    I am ashamed of my vote in 2008

  • Now I'm not one to buy into the whole Jews run the finical world theory, but news like this, well.....

  • president bomber HAHAHAHAHA

  • I lolled at the top com
