  • Way to go Obama!

  • Reporter: Do You Think That You Are Buying These Politicians ?

    Charles Keating: I Sure As Hell Hope So, Why Else Am I Spending This Money.

    LOL I Respect His Honesty.

  • Which historical leader turned on the industrialist that got him into power?

  • I'm a ex republican because of Obama- He is ruled by no one other than his principals - first time in my adult life I have felt respect for the occupant of the White House.

  • Hey, I am an Ex Democrat because of Obama and it is the first time in my life I have not respected the president! Who can respect a Socialist! Only other Socialists!

  • Given the current economic crisis, socialism is USA's savior.

  • @Beachbug1vw you didnt not pay for your education as an american did you? no? guess why? socialist system ued to fund your education. yes an equaling out so all benefit. you werent complaining then!!

  • This is very good to hear. Though, it should be noted that not only are ``top Republicans'' beholden to their donors (or take themselves to be); the oil companies, for instance, line the pockets of some Democratic congresspeople, too. K Street is an equal opportunity briber.

  • Unions FTW!

  • "miracle bundler". Lol.

  • That's my President. The President of all the people not just the rich and connected.

  • And that's how it ''should" be.

    Hail Obama!

  • This is actually good news. Everyone should be pleased at this.

  • I'll be an Obama believer if/when HR1207 reaches his desk and he signs it.

  • I love Obama. It's so nice to finally have a president with a brain, a vision, character and morals. Oh, and who also is not a compulsive torture loving democracy hating liar.

    Obama 2012.

  • this is the most pathetic excuse i have ever heared..."at least he listens to them" Where is the difference when he lets them talk to him so people like cenk be happy but doesnt act on it. None!! Its not so bad if he makes a bad call?? excuse me?! this is not las vegas it affects the lives of 300mill. people.

  • Obama doesn't love you, okay?

  • why?

  • you can't tell?

  • Obama rules

    Republicans are corrupt. they don't represent the interests of the people.

  • You have the intelligence of a dog.

  • hahaha whatever you say stupid right winger. you MORONS have been dead wrong on EVERYTHING the past 2 decades. You supported Bush W. for 8 years. Thanks for nearly destroying our country you fucking idiots.

    Talk about intelligence of a dog.

  • I'm a Liberal. Everything you just said was wrong. You should give up, because you're stupid. No wonder, you were educated in the USA!

  • A little message to all you Obama-Borg about rich people: Raising the taxes on the rich will only result in one thing and one thing only, the rich will just stop investing - remember, theyve already made their fortunes and have them tucked away in safes and banks around the world, well beyond the reach of US taxation. Also you will be unemployed.

    Why is it that Obuma and his clowns say well 500K unemployed last month thats ok cause it could have been 600K. Thats on Obama's watch!

  • to 1st paragraph : BS!

    to 2nd: its your personal opinion.

  • 1st Paragraph: If you had two cents you would realize the truth when it bitch slaps you in the face.

    2nd Paragraph: Its true did you not listen to CNN and MSNBC or are you that fucking stupid? Oh it coul have been worst we could have lost 600,000 jobs in one month. That was the Obama admin prediction but they are happy it was only 500K. Look it up retard...

  • yes the loss of jobs is on obamas watch..does it mean hes the one mostly responsible for it? I thought thats what u meant so I wanted to ask you : Do you think that the economic crisis that caused all those job losses was caused by obama...or was it rather caused by the negligence and non economic regulation of the past administration?

  • also I hate people who see obama as a sincere politician because hes an opportunist like all the others but, if you want to call him out on something, then do it on something real that he did wrong..not what the previous administration did wrong and what he inherited from that..call him out on hiring geithner that piece of shit or on not pushing for an investigation on all the people who allowed CIA officers to torture..

  • You are just plain stupid. If Obama was a "opportunist" he would have worked on wallstreet for millions of dollars instead of going into public service.

    I'm glad they are pressing the CIA officers because they will have to give up who authorized them to do that.

  • funny you should say im stupid and then claim that they are pressing CIA officers because they arent...obamas words were that he didnt want to look back..therefore NOT prosecuting his predecessors...and yes hes an ooportunist like every other politician..your failure to understand my point doesnt make me stupid

  • No, they are irregular combatants, if I recall the wording. But the Geneva Conventions still provide some protection to those right? I don't know what level, I'm not a lawyer quoting the laws chapter and verse. But I'm pretty sure these agreements close off any loopholes regarding torture.

    But some prisoners in Iraq died under US custody, tortured to death.

  • President Franklin Roosevelt showed how military justice should work when we captured a dozen WW2 German saboteurs in our country. A few months passed from the time of their capture to their trials, executions, or imprisonment. This was perfectly legal under the Geneva Convention. These Nazis could have been shot as soon as they were captured on the beachesthey were illegal out of uniform combatants.

  • 8 german landed at Long Island wearing uniforms,they were captured 6 were tried & executed within a month...dont let the facts get in the way of your bullshit story.

  • Both groups landed wearing complete or partial German uniforms to ensure treatment as prisoners of war rather than as spies if they were caught.

    My mistake but full uniforms on a beach landing???????Does that sound right?

    I do like the Gamma Ray song with old Ralf on the Mic.

  • well there you go,Gamma Ray would have thought.

  • You Americans don't deserve universal healthcare that way your population would live 3 years more.You guy won you independence with a war we've got ours with diplomacy.Empires in the past collapst because they became arrogant and people got fed up.Will your empire survive?

  • hey we don't deserve universal healthcare...? what the fucks up with that man? all of a sudden since I was born in the united states I don't deserve health care? Yea a lot of people in this country are rude as shit, but thats because we have bad public education and we have to pay for everything out of pocket. I do agree pure capitalism doesn't work and we need to change but your kind of a dick man. You make giant asumptions that we all just love war and love greed! so piss off mate.

  • they were waterboarded Im sure you never experienced that...and no matter who they fought for, the geneva convention forbids torturing enemy combattants..which is the category those "terrorists" would fall under..celine dion 24/7 would be torture I agree..you try to reject my point of view based on the fact that I live in canada at the moment that makes you intellectually bankrupt..I dont need to insult you to feel that my thoughts dominate yours when it comes to being rational

  • And I disagree because they fought under no state, flag or uniform therefore they are not enemy combatants thats why no one will be prosecuted. My question to you genius what worst being waterboarded or deciding if you should burn or jump from a 100 story building? Lets here your rational thought? You would probably see it a little different if this had happened to Canadians or better yet your family?

  • If they weren't enemy combatants then they were civilian non-combatants and were waterboarded...thats worse. You are either an enemy combatant or a non-combatant civilian...geneva convention deals with both and you are either one or the other.

  • Why not just try them under regular law?

    3000 counts of murder should easily justify the death penalty. Why is it important that they are treated as members of a political religious group? Just interogate them as members of an ongoing criminal conspiracy to harm citizens of the Unitied States. There is no need for any fancy new laws, or combatant status.

  • the geneva convention still protects you from being tortured if youre NOT an enemy combattant..if they did get to save many lives by torturing then i would ALMOST (still not) consider that position legitimate but the previous admin. has failed at showing any prevented attacks from all that waterbording and it was even shown that most of the info they would get would be fake, the tortured prisoners just made up stuff so that it would stop. sit the fuck down and have a piece of humble pie

  • Its not Obama fault but its is occuring on his watch and it is his problem that it is growing rapidly. Obama is the steriod being injected into a baseball players ass. And if you want to look at it differently Obama is the Capt. Smith of this Titantic, he did not design the ship but he is in charge. You keep looking backward and you will continue to blame Bush for everything instead of recognizing the truth.

  • retard is the one who is not capable of making sense and call others names.

    Are you blind to see its a challenge to fix 8 years of repooplican screwups.

  • Those screwups were back by democrats!

  • this show is better than alxes jones, because alex jones is just too out there.

  • It's not that Alex Jones is out there. It's that the truth is out there.

  • if the billionaires don't get what they paid for u can expect Obamba to get tossed from office in 2012 guaranteed

  • wtf is wrong with u rollsthepaul?

  • Obama never benefited from affirmative action.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!

    You have a good comedy routine going!

  • oooookkkkkaaaay?.........

  • uhm - donottake - you DO know that a JD is more than a college degree, right? Oh, and it took your hero Sara Palin 6 years and 5 colleges just to get a single college degree.

  • When the best you can do for your boy is tout a college degree that is sad.... very sad.

  • So you're confirming my claim that you are an ignorant piece of crap because you have no clue what a JD is - thank you for proving me right. Oh, and don't bother replying, because OBVIOUS TROLL is obvious.

  • Don't equate yourself to James Dean. You are a racist.

  • Attention all those who don't know donottake is More Obsessed with Race than Rush Limbaugh! Do Not Take him seriously

  • Big corporations, need to take Obama aside and show him a film of the John Kennedy assassination, taken from an angle, never published anywhere. The next thing is to ask Obama "Any questions?", to which he will certainly reply "What's my agenda?".

  • Let me guess...

    Ron Paul supporter, right?

  • No, I think Mr.&Mrs. Obama are great. You know, the couple with the wonderful sense of humor. I'll try again.

    Have you heard about Obama's stimulis package; it's huge, even for a black guy.

    What makes Obama's tenure in The White House even more sweet, is how the Republicans absolutely hate his guts. It's bad enough that they lost but to a black guy,well that is just over the top. And who says there is no sweetness, in life.Watching the GOP flail it's way into oblivion,is justice enough.

  • Keep dreaming from your grave.. Mr. Oswald!

  • bill hicks said it better

  • With all the things he's promised and the progress he's made so far, what makes you think he'd change his plan now?

  • It's ajoke, lighten up will yah.

  • I really hope that the secret service considers this comment a breach of Presidential Security and a threat against a sitting president, I for my part will be sure to report this to the appropriate authorities!

  • hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­haha

  • It wasn't a funny joke rolls...I hated Bush with a passion but I didn't make jokes about threatening him with assassination.

  • To which he will actually reply: "With all due respect, GTFO or ill reopen guantanamo for just for you."

  • Sometimes people skew the meaning of money. In our culture it apparently means "closer to god" rather than more like Satan. It means you can commit crimes in the name of America or god and get away with it because of the nature of corruption.. America is an excellent place to live a corrupt an cruel life and get away with it. Depends where you are.

  • Yeah Cenk, keep believing that shit. Obama is in the pocket of corporatism and big finance. These little pr stunts are just obfuscation.

  • How is passing a law a PR stunt?

  • he's way more helpful to the lower and middle classes than any republican would ever be

  • Yeah, we have evidence of that. They will never vote for the credit card reform act or for more tax cuts for the middle class.

  • Hey what's in it for me?

    "Think not what my country can do for me, rather what can I do for my country" - JFK

    Not that I totally agree - there's always exceptions to the rule -

  • the unions and they opposition to campaign finance reform are greatly responsible for this financial crisis, much like the banks they opposed campaign finance regulation so that they could keep buying influence, unions are anything but heroic, they are as much a parasite as banks

  • if it wasnt for unions your income would be zip, and forget medical, oh you like no medical, and pay going down, when was america strong, when we had strong government and strong unions

  • No there is a damn good red flag, where did that 700-800million come from, give me some more insight on the contributers who raised that money, lets not just look into it, there is a reason some say he was most supported by as for the other party McCain, by the "Billionairs club", or corporations this is a face in politics, just like it has always been, even with Bush, I may have the vote, but I don't have the means of monies to really influence the government that is the fact of the matter.

  • i liked what cenk said, but i'd like to do my own research on what the employee free choice act is, so i'll do that, but from this video I like that obama does not side with those who gave him money for his campaign. it shows a significant change is the way politics work. i'm glad for it, at the same time there is always a legitimate opposite view and a gray area with this. i'll come back after some investigation.

  • I love this video. Cenk, nicely said! Obama is the best president in a very long time. I 101% approve of his job and should be given more credit for what he does. Finally a president who believes and works for us and is ready to go against his donors for us. Then again, we are much better donors than of these billionaires! Go Obama 2012 and a 3rd term 2016?? ;) .......You never know.....Lol

  • as much as I support Obama, this is just as bad as the Palin 2012 supporters.

  • How is it bad? He went against his own donors. Thats good. Palin would kiss up to these nut jobs. Don't see your point.

  • I like the bit on Patriotism at the end. It seems a lot of people have lost sight of doing things for the good of the nation and our fellow countrymen.

  • Patriotism is a tool used to controll a population, just as nationalism and religion.

  • True, it can be. It's also a tool used to promote mutual ideals and band together for the advancement of society, but I don't expect a Debby Downer like you to acknowledge the upside.

  • u dont get it,

    the democrats (liberals i guess) want to accomplish that as well

  • he does, but you dont you want to paint all ideas as bad, look go watch alex jones and be happy, suck up to limbaugh etc

  • True and there's nothing wrong with loving your country.

  • I know everybody want to talk about thier views on obama but please stop for a minute I work at a hotel: their was a letter with my pay check about unions anyone have info about what is going on

  • i dont but i can take a stab at it.

    the corporate staff of your employer is going to make approximately 515,000 instead of 525,000 salary plus bonuses which will be unaffected of course, and the letter is a way to justify screwing you over in some way

  • it is just refreshing to have a pres who tries to do the right thing (at least most of the time)

  • Your are nuts and sooooooo knee deep into the bullshit you hear.

  • yeah . . clearly he is exactly like bush/chaney

    wtf are you talking about

  • I don't even want to know or care how

    flyingtorpedo thinks so.

  • no one cares what you claim to be . . . Prediction: obama will change american politics for a long time to come.

    once the current republican racisgelicals wave is over and they are gone forevever and our government starts working for the people again; he will never get the credit he deserves for being so much different than anyone else of his era.

  • i don't want to go as far as that but in the sense of foreign policy it holds a little more ground. i like obama on the social issues tho. taxes aren't really changing either to me so i don't get what the fuss is about.

    i too am an independent but am left-leaning. i still respect and like some of what obama has done, i just want him to pull the troops out of the middle east.

  • agree

  • Can you filibuster anymore for the democratic party Cenk?

  • why do you watch these videos ?.....i don't go hunting for conservative blogs or videos to comment.....i was just interested why you watch these clips just to complain about them

  • Im a crusader in my own mind, alot of niave people believe this shit literally. This is total partisan gangsterism. Im a moderate Independent.

  • Go read ecwaufisxtreme's comments to see some real republican insanity

  • wtf? are you a fucking idiot LOL?

  • I bet you were one of the ones saying McCain was gonna win right up until the election too.

  • I don't see why they all rate you down, I kinda like your robot satire. It certainly has a theme:)

  • It's a nice start but only a small start. When he starts smacking down bankers THEN I'll be impressed.

  • i wonder the same thing about the ads. I've seen them and have to ask what are these people doing spending money for their cause. I'd like to see ads like- Let's cure AIDS in Africa, our Please donate food to your local food pantry, or just don't litter. It's whoever's right to pay the money for ads. It's ours not to click on them and shame them.

  • Your totally right. Not growing up rich but somehow making it to Harvard, becoming a lawyer, a senator and now the first black president of the United States. What the fuck have you done?

  • Donottake...Did you graduate Harvard Magna Cum Laude to become a civil rights attorney, lecture at the university of Chicago law, write a book, become a community organizer, become a senator for 8 years and than go onto become president? Because if you did, you would be just a clown who has not done a damn thing with their life.

  • why are there so many conservative/ anti obama ads on youtube ? and on the tyt video channel......i get sick of seeing anne coulter ads.....or fire obama crap.....or the sarah pac bullshit.....WTF is going on ?

  • Remember what Don Corleone said in The Godfather, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

  • Exactly what Cenk said at the end... it's not about what's in it for me, it's about what's better for the country.

  • Some Republicans can be some real dick bobbers!~

  • Republicunts

  • Sorry, as much as I might agree with your sentiment, I thumbs downed your comment as I don't see one made up slur worth 9 thumbs up. Gotta be somewhat, balanced, and expect more intelligent discourse.

  • Sentanta1959 = dumb cunt

  • Republicans don''t care about this country, they care about their wallets.

  • darealdjnutz,

    .. and the Republicans see us and our country as nothing more than a resource to be exploited.

  • we can only hope the employee's free choice act gets passed or labor will be totally enslaved by corporations, we'll be back to the company store economy.. it's already a take it or leave it job market

  • fuck 'em, gold star Obama!!

  • It's about time someone started standing up for the rights of the working man. Stop fucking the working man out of money that is rightfully theirs. That's why unions exist because greedy fucking companies don't want to pay workers a fair and equitable wage.

  • How about just a living wage?

  • Wal-Mart makes billions and pays shit. That's just one example. At what point does business becomes exploitation especially if there isn't some form of representation. What about all of the businesses hiring illegals?

    I bet you wish you could still own slaves, don't you, D-bag?

  • 'Wal-Mart makes billions and pays shit.'

    then don't work at walmart and don't support their system of business. eventually they'll change if nobody will work there.

    what about businesses hiring illegals? what about illegals working for those businesses? it takes 2 to tango and a business can't exploit its' employees if it doesn't have any.

    whatsup with the slave comment? can't think of anything real to say?

  • You talk in semantics. Nice solution solving. This country is in the toilet because of people thinking like you. Free markets must be policed. Things got one sided, it's time to fix them.

    You just strike me as someone with the slave owner mentality.

  • I'm pro-union all the way man, but they need to be mindful of driving their own jobs overseas. It's in the best interests of the workers to keep their employers competitive. Your statement kinda furthers the 'us versus them' sentiment that polarizes the issue. Gotta work together.

  • Concessions? I think U.S. labor has taken it in the shorts for far too long. Let the union dockworkers stop sweatshop products produced by child and slave labor at the docks. No civilized country should compete with those kind of working conditions. Places like WalMart are killing American Industry.

  • then TAX the companies that have parts of them overseas

  • That might work for a while, but eventually those companies would just move their base of operations somewhere else. Instead of loosing just some of the lower-level jobs, we'd lose the higher paying ones and a huge source of tax revenue as well.

  • Let them move their basis and then tarrif the living shit out of their products. These pricks who move their businesses off shore aren't looking after America's interest they're only looking after their own.

  • With his enormous approval rating Obama doesn't really have to worry about sponsors as much as the next politician. I bet he doesn't even have to put out a commercial during the next election and will still win....especially if the GOP insists on putting far right nutbags like Palin out there against him.

  • Are you on drugs? His entire campaign only raised 755 million and the Innauguration raised 53 million.

  • huh? that doesn't mean that people who were billionaires couldn't have donated a few million.

  • Cenk stated that the Bloomberg article claimed that 1 BUNDLER RAISED 755 MILLION for the campaign and 53 million for the 21st.

  • Obama.... One badass motherfucker.

  • that's a yupper

  • when he gets a movie about him, Samuel L Jacken will play him!

  • I look forward to that movie. "It's time to get these muthafuckin' lobbyists out this muthafuckin' whitehouse!"

  • he's the bamf of the year

  • smart

  • NOT!
