no i'm just pointing out the similarities and i ain't no democrat i'm a C.P.U.S.A guy i have respect for dems and used to for repubs but when you want to deny people health, bust unions, stop child labor laws, attack womens rights, give the rich big tax cuts well you squeeze the communist oops i mean community...yes i consider that close to satan.
anyone who votes for Obama a 2nd time is a sucker! It's time to stop voting for anyone in this 2 party (really 1 party) system. I'm hoping Libertarians and progressives can join forces in 2012 and really give these corrupt bastards a run for their money.
When the Nazis/Republicans came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist. When they came for the Jews / Mexicans I remained silent; I wasn't a Jew / Mexican. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.
Why should the AstroTurf unionized 11.9% of the workforce have such an overbearing effect on the other 88.1% free and independent workers! The majority of taxpaying voters have spoken. Governors Christie and Walker get it as this is what the silent TEA majority is screaming for. We need to progress into the future with compensation based on merit. The taxpayers and student do not need to be trampled upon for a few that feel entitled to excessive compensation and protection exacted by Big Labor!
Let's say I make widgets at a non unionized factory, across town from a unionized factory. If the Unionized factory is willing to pay $20 an hour, then my factory will have to match that.
@17R3W I have no problem as long as the playing field is level but when there is artificial equalizers like prevailing wage and osha inspectors not watching union sites with the same vigilance as others or the members of a union having membership as a condition of employment (can you say monopoly) then using the extorted dues to bribe oops I meant elect sympathetic politicians that will be sitting across from them at the bargaining table giving out deals that harm the taxpayers and students!
A union is supposed to have a monopoly. If you split the power of the employees you lose the purpose of a union.
Second, you say extorted dues used to elect pro union politicians. lol
Members would want a pro-union politician, their job is to be concerned about themselves just as you are woried about yourself, so your accusing the union bosses of working for the members benefits, i hope your right, lol
@waltermh111 Who do I hat? Union membership should not be an condition of employment as this would force them to be better or lose members! I am a manager in a union shop and an ex-member of 3 diferent unions and have met many Conservative union members that do not support Democrats but yet a significant amount of their money was used to elect politicians they do not support!
When I first heard Republicans claim that Obama will be a one term president I thought it was just them being sore losers. Now, as time has passed, I completely agree with them.
Obama has reneged on just about every issue that was a staple to his campaign in 2008 i.e. extending tax cuts for the rich, the closing down of Guantanamo, Health care (a very HOLLOW bill) etc. He is the most SPINELESS U.S. president in living memory. It is shameful.
Obama isn't doing what he literally said he was going to do on this type of situation... funny enough from a political standpoint he shouldn't for one Main reason

Saying I'm with the Unions on a STATE specific issue over steps his fed lines
and just think how it will be played out if he goes out there and says this Wisconsin gov is out his mind with these cuts
conservatives will crucify him for telling the state how to handle their budget & managing the states which is not his domain & he isn't serious about cuts on the Federal level even though that wouldn't be true to what he says
Then who would then go to bat on the counter argument, Cenk, Maddow and ultimate all of it will fall on deaf ears cause their platform is their base
cause progressives don't have a foundation for outlets to moderates like the way that conservatives do and have Far greater apathy about voting for their issues than conservatives do
Perfect example of this twisting of words is what Cenk did with the press advisors statement
To say that Obama believes that Unions should lose their bargaining rights is silly b/c the statement says that in these fiscal reduction times both parties need to come together & make sacrifices
He already knows that the unions have given these consessions in terms of pay and benefits & since the right to assemble is the major bone to pick, its now the Gov.& his teams turn to find a middle ground which should be take the controls you've gotten from the bargaining & then come to terms that they can't win this fight on removing benefits based on public opinion
It's all carefully thought & it pisses guys like Cenk off but its what must be done to get what is good and right for everyone

Obama really did throw away his presidency. When he first came into office he had the country, the WORLD, in the palm of his hand. Everyone loved him and felt he could really change America for the better. Instead he ignored his base COMPLETELY and bent over backwards to help Wall St. and big business.
Instead of trying to live up to people's expectations and become greater than he was he decided to be a typical corporate loving politician. Obama - no greater hope, no bigger disappointment.
Cenk, had enough yet? Are we ready for Ron Paul, a man who we already know will NEVER sell out??? A man WILL end wars, WILL end the entitlement programs, WILL balance our budget, WILL defend liberties and WILL uphold the Constitution.
You have to remember guys, he can't do anything jews don't like, then he will not be elected in 2012. For the moment, he builds a foundation for his change-plan in the next period.
@AwsmUsername So what are the Jews gonna do to threaten us? Do they have a kill switch for instantly shutting down their businesses the moment they don't get their way? Ohh I'm shaking in my boots. I don't think they'll do that, but some sure act like it.
@ccricers You got me wrong, Jews are everywhere. They are running usa as they wish. Obama will get in their way if he don't give the rich (jews) tax cuts and more benefits, and instead uses money on the working class.
That's also the reason he doesn't cut the money support to Israel, yet.
@AwsmUsername If we decided enough is enough, the Jews need to stop grabbing us by the balls and we stopped supporting them, they cannot retaliate too well. Having the US hate Jews is worse for the Jews than for the US. Just look at the problems they have with everyone else. Harshly retaliation against the US will bring their own destruction faster than the terrorists can attack them. Israel would be a good boy to the US if they know what's best for them.
in 2012 obama will have to starting lying again to all his liberal voters! all of them should tell him to fuck off! I hope romney wins for the republicans so he can beat obama!
@Andy180084 Obama isn't wimping out. He is doing exactly what his bosses are asking him to do. What his bosses want him to do is the opposite of what he said he was going to do when he campaigned.
@007Licensed2comment Hence wimping out. Otherwise he'd grow a backbone and stand firm with the workers of Wisconsin. Is he the President of the People or President of the Banking Oligarchs? I'd say the latter.
@BeholdZeus He is the President of the oligarchs. That is why I said he isn't wimping out. He is doing what the Oligarchs (his bosses want) He never intended to be the President of the people. That was just a charade to get elected.
@007Licensed2comment hes playing both sides of the fence...if he gets involved hes gonna get fucking crushed for it and it will energize the base of the republicans. Second..he doesnt want to be fucking dead like Kennedy ...Something you guys dont notice is ....White Rich people dont like when you get outta line..and help the human race...cuz everyone thats ever done anything positive for anyone in the United states is fucking dead.
These are only the newest reasons why you all should vote for me to be US President in 2012. Write in Dwight Schmuck. That's me...a REAL Schmuck. But, this coming election, vote for the Schmuck who is on OUR side, for a change. That would be me. Why am I on OUR side? Because I AM one of OUR side. A working guy. Put a REAL Schmuck in the White House. Me.
Its funny how we can bitch and moan about our president not keeping "some" of his liberal promises and at the same time witness his approval ratings become the highest since he was elected. We voted for obama now we have to shut up and live with it, besides its to late to vote for Hillary.
@sambricky While he hasn't delivered on many of his promises he's actually done some good things that no Republican would ever do: whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar *.* com
Not mentioned here: The fact that Federal employees do not have the near the level of collective ability that the Wisconsin state employess do, and with good reason. Civil Service workers should not be allowed to organize politically. See the Hatch Act for more detail. Also, collective bargaining is not a right.
@eddgiles alright i wouldn't go that far, but if sarah palin was, certainly. Not to disappoint you but i have a strong feeling he will be reelected, the republican opposition is in disarray. I see no reasonable leaders in the GOP, other than ron paul, and he will cause a large amount of dissent among them. I honestly wouldn't mind paul lol..... even a libertarian would prove more liberal than obama, but then again obama made very good promises too. Too bad he didn't keep them.
@NaziGOPBallmer oh yea! that's right otherwise obama wouldn't be president lol. For some reason i thought you needed to have parents that were native born as well. Oh well, Cenk for president!!
Obama has failed every campaign promise: rich tax cuts? war in the east? protesters? deficit? next he'll pussy out on ss and medicare, then he'll announce he idolizes Reagan.
@Andy180084 Obama never was PROACTIVE to allow gays in the military; has ALLOWED the Pentagon to increase spending in arms; did not push for SERIOUS wall street regulation; allowed the 2% to SAVE BILLIONS in taxes without putting a fight; has not made a dent into cleaning the environment; DOES NOT SUPPORT THE UNIONS!!: Allows Social Security Pilferage; Agrees with the GOP on budget cuts.
WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO SAY...OH YES..HE IS A CORPORATE OWNED POLITICIAN, JUST LIKE 99% OF THEM.
@MastermindX....Everybody (including TYT) is being way too cynical about everything. TYT even managed to turn DOMA being declared unconstitutional into a negative. Instead of taking it as a sing of progress they turned it into a whining "but he's still opposed to gay marriage!!" video lol.
I'm kind of happy Obama is such a douche. It really shows the country that the Dems and Repubs are controlled by the same people. It's not like the morons in the GOP are controlling him. It's about the money Lebowski. He's controlled by JP Morgan and the rest of Wall St. (just like Bush was).
If you read Obama's autobiography his wishy washy behavior should not surprise you.
He can't loose in 2012? He will be so far to the right that the conservatives will suddenly say he was born in the USA with a flag as a diaper and THEY will vote for him.
I agree, he's practically a GOP puppet, well more like the corporate puppet. The only thing stopping him from becoming a Republican is that he's black, has a Muslim background (he's not a Muslim himself so keep that in mind) and he has a funny name. These are all the things that Obama has mentioned during his campaign that Republicans will pick on him for.
There was not tax cut this past dec from the republicans or from obama. All they did was continue the existing tax rates and NOT RAISE taxes. There was no tax cut!!!!!
@nytech04 they continued the bush tax cuts that have been going on for almost ten years now, costing a decent fraction of the deficit. Where have you been? Oh that's right the pussy dems didn't blow up over it, as they should have.
@Andy180084 Not confiscating my salary didnt caus the deficit. Overspending caused the deficits. I earned it and I will keep it by using every possible loophole in the system. Its my money to spending on whatever I WANT and not for the govt to take from me and overpay worthless garbage union workers who would never survive in the private sector.
I would have fired everyone of those people in WI and made sure that they never get another govt job for life and will not get any govt assistance.
I have to wonder if Obama's main plan is to SOMEHOW get re-elected, and then -- when his presidency (or rather, his legacy) can't be touched by anything short of impeachable stupidity -- he would go hard-line progressive / liberal / whatever his campaign position was.
...because clearly, he's either a proponent of STATUS QUO IS GOD or just surviving for his own sake and not for the nation's benefit.
If that's not his post-reelection plan, we probably need a DIFFERENT democratic candidate, no?
@Maginomicon Interesting. Just assuming hypothetically that Obama did not receive the new candidacy for 2012, who do you think would be - or could be - in the running for Dem nomination? As a foreign observer, it appears that the Republicans do not - at this stage - have any clear front-runner. If things really are as polarised as they appear, what chances of a third party (reformist-minded?) contesting to ideologically claim the centre ground?
Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of answer. From where I'm sitting, I'm just noticing that if Obama didn't automatically get the ballot, that both parties would be greatly divided. The Dems have an uber-conservative "democratic" president that wouldn't follow any part of what Fox believes is hardline left even if you hit him with a brick with their position written on it. Meanwhile the Repubs are literally divided into original and spicy (Tea Party). It's all about the MONEY.
@Maginomicon....I hope you hope you're not describing Obama as "Uber-Conservative". The left in this country by default is center right. Obama is not particularly Conservative as far as Democrats go and falls well within the bounds of your average "Liberal Democrat" on the Political spectrum.
@CrossTheGrigori He has 40% of Americans believing he is an evil socialist and the anti-Christ, telling their small children he kills babies and is a muslim. He has another percentage saying he is not progressive enough and weak plus he has rising unemployment, the Middle East is in meltdown which will push up oil prices, when people are already struggling with food prices. He went the wrong way on health care but then actual protestors had pictures of him being lynched, hanged etc...
@CrossTheGrigori I agree that the UN should step in with Libya but Obama has to watch it and they had to get thousands of people out, including Americans before acting...There has also been a terrible earthquake in New Zealand, Obama has sent help to them too.. I think he has spoken but world events plus the noise of the media drowned it out. There are reasons to attack Obama but this is not a fair one. Someone asked when he will be shot in a public meeting this week.
The Shoes that Obama was referring to in that 2007 Campaign Speech were "Flip Flops", which is fitting for Obama, since hes now known to Flip Flop his position as the Pres.
@CrossTheGrigori I think the people actually protesting would find that their cause is diminished if Obama turned up. He has spoken about it, he called it an assault on unions sot take away collective bargining rights, which is the main issue with the protestors not the cuts. What more is he supposed to do, he come down on their side. If he arrived on Air Force One, they would say it is him intervening, it was a publicity stunt and what about Libya etc....There are issues with Obama, not this.
Hey Cenk, why don't you send him that quote of his. I mean... that should go on MSNBC. You could get Fox to run with that line too (assuming they want to use it to bash him). Get everyone in on it. Make Obama notice.
Fuck Obama! I'm not american but im embarassed.. Fucking pussy get outta there! Making us mixed black/white look bad.. I actually wanna see him get shot so that people remember him as some kind of martyr instead of an embarassment.. just kidding.. don't bomb my country =( kthxbb
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. Specifically, he wants to raise the federal gas tax as a means to fund infrastructure spending. “We need a dedicated source of revenue to create infrastructure in this country”. We already pay a gas tax to improve roads, and they already siphen off those funds to pay for bike paths. so if we raise gas taxes even higher, who to say they don’t spend those funds on hiring union bike riders to ride on the bike paths?
Are the Unions really the good guys here? Especially when we're discussing teachers. You know that teachers unions have been an obstacle to reform education in this country since the 70's. Look who Obama has been surrounding himself with lately when it comes to education. Michelle Rhee and a gentleman called Geoffrey Canada watch that Waiting for Superman movie and see what they think of unions...and If anything Obama is using the rethuglicans to kill 2 birds with one stone by being quiet.
Unions may not be angels, but they are far from being devils compared to Conservative Republicans like Scott Walker and other Republican governors that want to turn America to a Banana Republic backwater country.
I agree with you and from the perspective of my last response it's like Obama would be ready to gamble the majority of teachers in WI who are good at their job for the few that suck to get at unions. Oh belive me the Teabaggers and the republican will take us straight to Idiocracy...Real fast.
We all need to chip in 1 penny to help obama by a pair of comfortable shoes. Send the penny to the white house to: the liar in chief For: comfortable shoes!
joe wilson was right! obama lies! obama has been the most pathetic and weak president ever! The only way he might get re elected is that he is going to bring up immigration and the republicans are going to go crazy about and turn off IND voters!
Before Obama got into the White House, he was naive & didn't really know how absolutely powerful the 'real rulers' of America are...Now he's in the White House & he knows who the 'real rulers' are now (and how truly powerful they really are)...Sadly he also now knows that he cannot defy the 'real rulers' cos they have tied his hands and HE REALIZES THAT HE IS A JUST PUPPET PRESIDENT TO THE CORPORATIONS, BANKS, MILITARY, OIL & THOSE MULTI-BILLIONAIRES!
when are TYT viewers going to realize that Cenk is a lying smear merchant
President Obowma can't go to WI in support of union members! He is Pres and must stand in support of all people who happen to be the opposing side to unions at the bargaining table. Even Cenk, dumb lawyer that he is, surely must know that would constitute a serious conflict of interest!
Also, Obowma would reveal himself a hypocrite in that Federal employees don't have collective bargaining rights
Cenk have you any idea of the security that would be needed, if he joined the picket line, especially when someone has publically asked when he will be shot? It would then be about him not the teachers and most likely harm them further.
He also has watch what is happening in Libya. Give him a break on this one Cenk. This has been an insane news week, outside the USA.
I've been saying for awhile now that Pres. Obama is a closet Republican & have caught hell for it by Obamafiles. Don't get too happy at my comment too quickly Republicans, I think you're a bunch of nut cases on a rampage. Maybe the President was replaced by one of those Stepford kind of robots, LOL.
@thelivingfire yeah little to blue blinded. I support the big o he hasn't done as bad as I thought he was going to, but if this dude think he is bad by not shutting down every idea from the otherside then this is a crazy turk.
@1RadicalOne Most CEOs are engineers, you have to fight fire with fire man. I'm a systems engineer, and I think we're way more suited to running a country than a lawyer. There's more to running a country than the legal system.
@mikel1982 We need to forbid private founding for presidential campaign, or any political campaing for that matter. Do that, and fix this amazingly shitty education system, and the country will heal himself slowly.
All politicians are on the same side. They divide us by lying to us...convincing us that we have a choice for "change" or whatever. They convince us that they will work for us when in actuality they work for whoever paid for their campaign. They're all in on it together.......making money hand over fist, laughing at us while they do it.
There is such a thing as States Rights, if Obama was to stick his nose down there personally, how would that really help the cause?...no kidding, the backlash would be huge, it would the situation ten times worse...so a reality check is in order here folks.
I'm just a kid watching this, can someone please explain to me what he lied about please? :) thankyou.

I agree, he's practically a GOP puppet, well more like the corporate puppet.

These are all the things that Obama has mentioned during his campaign that Republicans will pick on him for.

I would have fired everyone of those people in WI and made sure that they never get another govt job for life and will not get any govt assistance.

I have to wonder if Obama's main plan is to SOMEHOW get re-elected, and then -- when his presidency (or rather, his legacy) can't be touched by anything short of impeachable stupidity -- he would go hard-line progressive / liberal / whatever his campaign position was.
...because clearly, he's either a proponent of STATUS QUO IS GOD or just surviving for his own sake and not for the nation's benefit.
If that's not his post-reelection plan, we probably need a DIFFERENT democratic candidate, no?
Maginomicon 1 year ago
@Maginomicon Interesting. Just assuming hypothetically that Obama did not receive the new candidacy for 2012, who do you think would be - or could be - in the running for Dem nomination? As a foreign observer, it appears that the Republicans do not - at this stage - have any clear front-runner. If things really are as polarised as they appear, what chances of a third party (reformist-minded?) contesting to ideologically claim the centre ground?
liberalmatt 1 year ago
@liberalmatt
Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of answer. From where I'm sitting, I'm just noticing that if Obama didn't automatically get the ballot, that both parties would be greatly divided. The Dems have an uber-conservative "democratic" president that wouldn't follow any part of what Fox believes is hardline left even if you hit him with a brick with their position written on it. Meanwhile the Repubs are literally divided into original and spicy (Tea Party). It's all about the MONEY.
Maginomicon 1 year ago
@Maginomicon....I hope you hope you're not describing Obama as "Uber-Conservative". The left in this country by default is center right. Obama is not particularly Conservative as far as Democrats go and falls well within the bounds of your average "Liberal Democrat" on the Political spectrum.

@CrossTheGrigori He has 40% of Americans believing he is an evil socialist and the anti-Christ, telling their small children he kills babies and is a muslim. He has another percentage saying he is not progressive enough and weak plus he has rising unemployment, the Middle East is in meltdown which will push up oil prices, when people are already struggling with food prices. He went the wrong way on health care but then actual protestors had pictures of him being lynched, hanged etc...

@CrossTheGrigori I agree that the UN should step in with Libya but Obama has to watch it and they had to get thousands of people out, including Americans before acting...There has also been a terrible earthquake in New Zealand, Obama has sent help to them too..

Someone asked when he will be shot in a public meeting this week.

@CrossTheGrigori I think the people actually protesting would find that their cause is diminished if Obama turned up. He has spoken about it, he called it an assault on unions sot take away collective bargining rights, which is the main issue with the protestors not the cuts. What more is he supposed to do, he come down on their side. If he arrived on Air Force One, they would say it is him intervening, it was a publicity stunt and what about Libya etc....There are issues with Obama, not this.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. Specifically, he wants to raise the federal gas tax as a means to fund infrastructure spending. “We need a dedicated source of revenue to create infrastructure in this country”. We already pay a gas tax to improve roads, and they already siphen off those funds to pay for bike paths. so if we raise gas taxes even higher, who to say they don’t spend those funds on hiring union bike riders to ride on the bike paths?

Are the Unions really the good guys here? Especially when we're discussing teachers. You know that teachers unions have been an obstacle to reform education in this country since the 70's. Look who Obama has been surrounding himself with lately when it comes to education. Michelle Rhee and a gentleman called Geoffrey Canada watch that Waiting for Superman movie and see what they think of unions...and If anything Obama is using the rethuglicans to kill 2 birds with one stone by being quiet.
