  • Well. Crap. This was depressingly accurate.

  • Ralph was right in '00 and you idiots all cheered on Bush to steal the election & get us into two wasteful wars!

  • Wow, I got this Nader character all wrong back then apparently.

  • If that happens it will be worsh! Obama is black! KKK will play the popular "antistatist revolutionary" card!

  • Obama v Nader

    of mice and men

    wrenches in the gears

    Lives Not Lived In Vain

    NadePaulKuciGravMcKi

  • this guy is right about almost everything, yet America lets him slip through the cracks every single election

  • everyone know that

  • Crazy, try searching who is barry soetoro? by Nomessiah gotta listen to this awesome metal song about Barack Obama!

  • Ralph Nader even predicted this before his administration.

  • There is a bright side. The tax cuts will continue to attract rich immigrants, so a lucky few will get jobs mowing their lawns and even some exciting carpet cleaning action.

  • Every word has come true. Nadar is on track here, whatever his failings. Obama is a corporatist who has supported the security industrial complex built by Bush, and stepped it up.

  • to quote comedian bill hicks,

    "i'll show you politics in america.. i think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs; i think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.. HEY WAIT, THERE'S ONE GUY HOLDING UP BOTH PUPPETS!

    go back to bed america - your government is in control.."

  • haha i remember watching this load of shit. look at all these fuckin idiots who voted for him and jesse jackson crying.......PATHETIC!!! and Nadar was right with this.

  • A man like Nader should know that America is controlled much more by zionists than Corporate Welfare itself.

  • Politics is so dirty , it's almost impossible to come out of it clean. I will never put my trust in these robotic leaders, it's only in God I trust, that's it.

  • Ralph Nader may be not a socialist, but he's definitely an idealist. I mean, do you people actually believe that he could really eliminate corporate welfare if he was elected?

  • shit they'd have him assassinated day one

  • GOD BLESS YOU

  • Corportations have moved to appeal to marginal groups to create a false message

    Families First

    Screw balls second

  • To think that this man really wants the good of America is completely stupid.

  • I hate hardcore communists like Sean Penn or this man who think that it's their duty (and of their blind zealots) to destroy capitalism forever. Don't get me wrong, conservatism is probably the worst political ideology of all-time, but that doesn't mean that leftist leaders are going to 'save' the world.

  • I don't know about Sean Penn, but Ralph Nader isn't a communist. He believes in the free market, not monopolistic corporations.

  • A number of people who voted for Nader in 2000 voted for Obama in 08'. I'm starting to think that a lot of dems use Nader as a scapegoat because they are envious of the fact that he's an exceptional lawyer.

  • Unlike in other Western countries, a new President in America gets to choose all his little mates for whatever purpose he wants. So he can set up a REGIME quite easily, and they can do what they want. Dangerous system. So sometimes it goes haywire: the Iraq War for eg. A small number of people can ride roughshod over everybody else. Wholesale revision required. You need elected cabinet members (!) and an independent/unmuzzled civil service.

  • Jewsnot smart has a good point but plz watch ur slander because Sharon and his army full of fake wannabe jews are not the true jews. Jews are the eastern african jews and arab jews. Jesus had a dark complexion and black hair. I also agree that he surrounded himself with way too many so called populist-corporate democrats.

  • jews? yeah sharon is a jew! what he is not, is an isrealite! isrealites include not only those african and sumerian isrealites but also the entire peoples who inhabited the americas before the western europea invasion.

  • are you sure  he was from the texas hill country.?

  • I kinda like Obama and he had better watch out for the zionist Biden who could be a repeat of how the Israeli jews had JFK killed because he wouldn't allow Israel to have nuclear weapons which was the same policy as Eisenhower. Once that paid stooge of the jews LBJ was put into the presidency the jews then got their nuclear weapons along with every single thing they wanted. I'm not saying LBJ was part of the JFK killing but he likely knew it was in the works because the jews had to find a way.

  • PEOPLE think they put OBAMA in POWER,,, hahahahaha, OBAMA knows who are real masters ,,, he is ineteresting ,, BUT policy will be the same as BUSHES ,,, no DOUBT ,,, USA is imperialiST POWER , IT will continue BOMBING the people around the world Stealing the resources ,,, OBAMA is nothing in it ...

  • What's wrong with that?

  • nader atleast speaks his mind. hes not a slave to the system. he doesnt want the us to dissapear. he just wants to get rid of the shitty government u guys have. ur all victims. WE are all victims.

  • Obama Sucks!

    Bush Sucks

    Hilary and Bill Sucks!

    Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter best presidential candidates for 2012.

  • @chrisgreycg I am asking fellow Greens this. Should we come out as a party and demand that Obama take BP into conservatorship/recievership? I think this would really be something many progressives would agree with. Please let me know what you think. Good Idea bad idea indifferent? Maybe I could start a FB page for it. Go Green Party!

  • @chrisgreycg Ralph Nader is a far better choice than Paul or Hunter.

  • Liberals like Harry Reid say you smell bad.

    Liberals like Obama say you are far right and racist and bitter if you simply CLING to the constitution.

    Globalist Barack Obama says you have anti-immigrant sentiment if you are against illegal immigration due to it being a big fat globalist scam.

    Murtha says you are racist rednecks, vote for me,and the stupid idiot people do it.

    The American people are trained morons apparently.

  • voter fraud bo

  • It's really Americans IGNORANCE and GREED that made the world to what it is today. Thinking it's alright to have a 2-party system ,If you don't see trough that you're just DUMB fools . In Belgian Politics there are 6 parties governing and still it's hard not to get corruption. You guys have LOBBYING and companies dealing out money to politicians, in my country they call that CORRUPTION, and you will go to jail for that. CORRUPTION in the US is just a way of doing business it seems.

  • "in the US is just a way of doing business it seems."

    The left here calls the behavior you described above as "protecting American workings," "investing in planet Earth," "creating energy independence," "building strategic partnerships between government and business" -- Obama and the American left offer socialism on the fascist model: private ownership, public control.

  • should be investing in American *workers*, ahem.

  • Got that right, Thank god I'm a conserative libertarian.

  • agreed

  • To all the scumbags. Bush is a nigger as well as Obama! If you have a problem with that then look me up in 4 years!

  • Perpetual cynicism is just naivete-for-dyspeptics.

  • rippist91,

    What's the point of fixing anything if the people lose hope and stop trying and society falls apart?

  • "Progressive" is not necessarily a good word. The progressives were totally in favor of Texas governor Rick Perry's disgusting power grab to force insufficiently tested HPV vaccination on teen girls--so power grabs and violation of individual freedom were totally OK, as long as it hit a progressive button.

    Yes, Barack's a conciliator, but Ralph isn't just not walking on eggshells, he's being narcissistic/immature. This isn't academic, its OUR LIVES, and what we need now is HOPE.

  • "what we need now is HOPE."

    Is this parody? Or unintentional reverence for The Messiah?

  • as we speak, obama is building a clinton cabinet... and what did the clinton administration do? it laid the groundwork for the iraqi war. the economic mess and NAFTA? thanks, bubba.

    but no thanks.

    it's not looking so good- and for a moment- i had a glimmer of hope. who wouldn't after an acceptance speech like his?

    ladies and gentleman, your new puppet, er, i mean president...servant to the corporations- er, i mean the american public: Bush Lite

  • so true

  • Obama is full of shit like most niggers....

  • Pugslie2000, the next time you have a thought, just keep it to yourself. People like you will only make it more diffucult for others to actually offer real criticism if Obama goes back on promises he made during his campaign.

  • Wow, you are still hynotizied. Didn't you see that the fix was in years in advance? The maintstream world is leading you around by the collar. You are a follower. Try making up your own mind. Consider a fresh perspective. You don't have to be a parrot. The world has plenty too much parrots.

  • Obama is doing what all president-elects do before they enter office. Let's not pretend like he's doing anything special until he actually does it.

  • why don't we get this kind of news in the uk? :|

  • its actually on sky channel 510 and aljazeera english is on sky 514. theyre just never advertised anywhere

  • No comments from our anti-western slavic "brothers" in Russia on here I see. They've probably no fucking idea who Ralph Nader is! LMAO!!

  • More likely I suspect it's because Russia Today News may be like US's version of Democracy Now where they are on the internet and possibly on independent rather than on mainstrea channels and networks. That's because they seem to provide constructive critism and getting different views from many perspectives like Democracy Now.

    Many videoas from Russia Today have few views.

  • Something tells me Ralph is a sore loser.

  • "Unless he builds more political and civic energy among the people. Does he have the personality for that? No."

    Ralph got things done in the courts, NOT by "building civic energy". He's the one who doesn't have a personality for that!

    Barack Obama has *already* built more civic energy among the people (along with Bush's screw-ups awakening people) than anyone I've seen in my lifetime.

  • Why would you say that? He's always lost.

    He's dissapointed, but I don't think he's sore about it.

    Let's just hope Obama will be different. Don't put all your trust in him until he actually EARNS your trust with his actions!

  • Because I guess like most Europeans I didn't know he'd ran before, a bit like, I dunno, Nick Clegg for Lib Dems (except it was Charles Kennedy or something who ran Lib Dem before, but still..) heh. I hadn't done any research back to check if he'd ran before, and I was only a wee age of 11 in 04

  • But if you were eleven years old in 2004, then that means . . . oh.

    Well, good job, then!

  • I think that's misapplying a generally good rule of thumb for trust. Obama is the president of the United States, not someone you are asking to watch your child.

    I realize you said "all your trust" but with alot of folks that will translate to "any". We need to START the Obama presidency trusting that he is going to do the best he can, and trusting him and ourselves enough to participate and try to heal this country and the world. We have to do it now-there isn't much time left.

  • And shame on Ralph Nader and his right-wing agenda.

    (Which he somehow still thinks is progressive.)

  • LOL, RI. Nader, bleah! Here's what I posted below:

    "Progressive" is not necessarily a good word. The progressives were in favor of Rick Perry's disgusting power grab to force tested HPV vaccination on teen girls--so power grabs and violation of individual freedom are OK, as long as its "progressive".

    Yes, Barack's a conciliator, but Ralph isn't just not walking on eggshells, he's being narcissistic/immature. This isn't academic, its OUR LIVES, and what we need now is HOPE.

  • Hope? I can hope for a million different thing and not a damn one will come true with hope alone. come on man this is crap and you know it.

  • Wait, what's wrong with HPV vaccination?

    I thought that was a good news story that prevented many common forms of cervical cancer. What's so terrible about that? I -hate- cervical cancer.

  • God Ralph, he couldn't ruin this election like he did for Al Gore, so know he has to keep babbling like a drunken asshole.

  • More Democrats voted for Bush than Nader so blame them rather than those who voted AGAINST Bush.

    The Republicans cheated & the Supeme Court ruling was biassed in Florida.

    Also, rethink why you are defending the Democrats.

    Nader was perceptive to have been against the Iraq sanctions & bombings during the Clinton/ Gore administration for lies of WMD & terroist ties.Lies Bush continued,not started.

    Also,Gore's VP Lieberman wrote the Iraq war resolutiona.

    Democrats & Republicans= warmongers

  • Oh so you didn't vote then?

  • Nader is a homersextional.

  • another nigga who said that another nigga is just a nigga like another nigga

  • I sure hope that Obama won't blame Bush four years from now for all the country's problems. We'll see how we are in four years. Probably worse than today.

  • wait and see

  • are you objecting because he's black and not white?

  • True, anyone is better than Bush, but that's the lowest standard any one can set for qualifying to be President.

    What worries me though is that progressives were more aware of the actions of war & occupation under the Bush administration, but under the Obama administration they seem totally unawre that he's continuing the same policies of war on terror yet think he's an anti war candidate.

    They can't hold him accountable if they are unaware or unwilling to critisise his foreign policy.

  • i agree with you, its a false hope and his stance towards israel and the "war on terror" is basically the same if not a little different.

    the only reason why he's a little better is because he's atleast willing to negotiate instead of patronising other nations and speaking down to them.

    he's the first black man to be president so that makes him more popular as well.

  • Irans parliament speaker Ali Larijani slammed US president-elect Barack Obama on Saturday, for saying Tehrans pursuit of nuclear weapons was unacceptable, official IRNA news agency reported.

    This signifies a pursuit of the same erroneous policy as in the past, Larijani said when asked about Obamas comment on Friday.

    Obama understands that change does not only mean a change of colour and superficial differences, change must also have a strategic basis,IRNA quoted Larijani as saying.

  • Obama's chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, is asking for compulsory service, where children between the age of 18 and 25, MUST do work for the government...

    its a mass mind-control job, to get you to worship the government... its hardcore fascism/nazism...

    This is so consistant with the mandatory youth military duty in Israel..

  • Jan 2009...

    Iran attacked with Missing Nukes from Minot Airforce Base (July 2007). Dis-info of Missing Russian Nukes blamed as the source.

    All out war with Russia backing Iran against NATO Countries. China Drops US Economy.

    All of these events will support the evil Bush propaganda, swinging the "lump of fish" back to the Republican candidate.

    Please wake up.

    Realise there are alternatives to the "Siamese twins".

    the Non Voters need to vote for 3rd party candidates...stop the insanity

  • Susan Rice- CFR.

  • Bush was committed to destroying Bush's reputation. McCain dedicated himself for a full year to destroying McCain's reputation.

    And now Ralph Nader seems to be devoting the rest of his life to destroying Ralph Nader's reputation.

    Is there something in the water?

  • your support for obama is shameful and a disgrace to humanity

  • orly

    I think your support for Bush and torture is a disgrace to humanity.

  • You are an idiot. Do you have any idea on obama's position on foreign policy? if you did you certainly wouldnt have voted him. He is nothing but a puppet controlled by wealthy merchants and corporations. He is a traitor and he does not give a shit about you or the rest of the american people.

  • Nonsense. 

    Buy a newspaper once in a while.

  • sure, believe whatever the media feeds you.

  • also, i do not support obama or bush. they are essentially the same. If i were an american i would have voted a third party candidate.

  • If you're a progressive, and you would have voted for Nader, then you would have been helping John McCain and endorsing the acts of torture that Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and their coven of right-wing lawyers ordered and supervised.

  • Ralph Nader and the far right in America have been on the wrong side of history since 2000.

    Ralph Nader destroyed all the good he had done in his career in 2000, and now Nader's turning into Jean-Marie Le Pen, undoubtedly egged on by GOP operatives who tell him he's changing the world.

  • Standing for principeled positions and daring to challenge the 2 party system in 2000, and actually being popular made Nader lose credibility in 2000?!

    Democrats need to wake up see who they're blindly voting for whilst they make a vote against the Republican warmongers.

    The linto/ Gore administration repetedly bombed & sanctioned Iraq before Bush on lies of WMD & teroist ties.

    Lieberman- te man who wrote the Iraq war resolution was Gore's VP (Gore's Cheney)

    Nader was right.

  • Oh come on, Obama is going to be way better than Bush. I love Nader, but he is just being a bitter asshole.

  • you'll wake up sooner than you imagine

  • Barack bush.

  • yankie are terrible racists, who just adore to preach all world.and, as a historical revenge, one day u will have the yellow leader.

  • I'm sure most people agree that Obama is better than McCain...but that doesn't say much.

    Obama will use the financial crisis in the same way that Bush used 9/11.

    Just wait and see.

  • Nader is right. most politicians, no matter how idealistic they are, are eventually forced to give in to corporate interest to a degree. its inevitable.

  • when an independent speaks you should listen because he is not a slave to either party

  • Of course he may disppoint that is the nature of politics but it wont be because of giant corporations but because he has so little room to manoeuvre after the financial meltdown. we must try to understand his predicament.

  • Ralph Nader may have dedicated his entire life to trying to protect his fellow Americans, but it appears very few want to listen to him. Or should I say "they can't listen to him"???

    That's because he is banned from engaging in debates or even *attending* the debates he is banned from. He is persona non grata for the US television stations and many of the newspapers.

    You call that a "democracy"???

  • Nadar is most likely correct. People should listen to him more carefully... instead we get dunces like the Faux News commentator who are more concerned about his choice of words! Incredible!!!

  • Right on the money Nader!

  • "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

  • Ron Paul would be a better president.

  • Obama ALREADY proved Nader is right.

    He said he will continue building missile shield in Europe, and he already criticized Iran the same way Bush and McCain does.

    Russia and Iran will not back down, that means there will be further military escalation.

    And take my word, Obama will not take troops back from Iraq, because this would mean pro-USA forces there will be gone in like several weeks.

  • Obama and bush are one and the same.

  • I will have to disagree with Ralph Nader for this one Obama is the incoming president Obama is our only hope and Ralph Nader can't change the situation. I trust Obama for now.

  • Blind: Why don't you actually research his position on foreign policy. Obama's position is essentially the same. Do a little research, arm yourself with facts, don't just trust. The people of Germany trusted Hitler. Look where that got them.

  • straight up

    some people think we're 'extreme' for saying shit about the nazis but fuck that its true

    same propaganda machine!!

    same white power structure..

  • You seem to have missed my point. Point being, you should never blindly trust your leaders. You should watch them and see they are true to their word.

  • White people get oppressed too. Its the elite oppressing everyone through their corporations and banking system which also control the government.

  • In all 3 prs. debate there was a question about how the cand.tes treat Israel. Why they were not asked how they think about Armenian Genocide, or the ongoing nonstop rape and massacre in Congo? YES, lobbies ! Nader is right. This country is not running by Pres.Congress or Senate but- by Inc. and lobbies...Obama is the best person we had after Ken.dy, but personality has nothing to do with this mess

  • so what is Nader is an arab! He is one of the most intelligent politicians in the US

  • It's not about intelligence. The other politicians are intelligent, too. Cheney is intelligent. He knew that the Iraq War Crime will be a fundamental catastrophe, he said it in front of the cameras in 94.

    The difference is that Nader didn't sell out.

    He's not an Israeli puppet, he's not a Wall Street puppet, he's not a MIC puppet, or CFR, or Bilderberger, of Trilateral Commission, or CIA, or Mafia, or drug dealers, or war lords, or church, or FED, or IRS, or FEMA, or Homeland Security, or...

  • Bush is not a jew dumbass

  • Interesting. And obaMA + BUSh = MABUS... ;)

  • I agree 100% with ralph nader

  • In a 2d pr debate BO said that Russia is 'evil'.what person with dignity would say that about other nation? Reagan said that about USSR (not Russia), and even he regretted I understand whole moral values in USA are LOST! Yes, we need Russia to shine.. to be an example and make USA to go back to its human values (if any)

  • Is Barack Obama nothing more than a sugar-coated GWB? Obama is after all for continuing the pointless antagonizing of Russia. I feel bad for Russia. My country (USA) is just jealous of Russia's oil and the new wealth it is enjoying from it, that is the only real reason the USA is behaving towards Russia the way it is. USA foeign policy is always about OIL, no matter who's in the Oval office. OIL! OIL! OIL!

  • This, coming from a man who recently brought up the term "Uncle Tom" in relation to our new President. Nader has NO credibility. Please leave the stage.

  • knowitx how can the arab occupy "zion"? Do you see Arab soldiers with guns on every street in Israel? No. But you can see Israeli soldiers in every street in the Occupied West Bank.

  • Israel's war is NOT my war, and I am USA citizen! what makes you think that our sons should go and die MEANINGLESSLY? you are a murderer, if you have excuse for these wars!and so is Bush Inc.if Obama does not stop WAR he is a murderer too.

  • Nader is an old, grouch, racist and asinine arab, who should just go away!

    It takes great efforts and time to turn around a huge nation. Every good citizen has AN OBLIGATION to lend a hand.

    Endless criticism from this senile old fool has made Nader more and more IRRELEVANT!

    Barack achieved what Nader can only dream about; so he's envious.

    How can one expect to lead a people if one can't appeal to a people? Nader is a sad old fool!

  • Nader is arab, I am Armenian, Bush is..what ? a Jew? so we have different morals, differenet human values. and what is Obama? a negro? as mccain would address him 'that thing'... who is now a racist?

    USA is in demonic delusions for sure...people can just hate one who has an itegrity, vision, courage...

  • arab? and who are you? a Jew? that explains everything. only .01% of USA population is Jewish and yet whole SA foreign policy offers a service to Israel? what is it? a devil possessed curse?or suicide as a nation. Nader is right. whoever is right is marked as 'fool' so was J. Christ

  • J Christ was a JEW. For that he was MURDERED BY ROME, so Rome could take out the leader of the Jews and take over Zion. It was the 1st Reich.

    The leadership of Zion, were Roman collaborators, and set up Zion for destruction, JUST LIKE TODAY.

    Nader is Arab, so what. He is American. He knows better then to so much as think Zion is other then Jewish.

  • delusional idiot. Nader does not need you.

  • ralph is wrong again

  • Guess RT is now starting to suffer buyers remorse now that its clear that BO won't kiss the feet of Mr. Putin.

  • I think that Russia is quite happy to have a 'robust' relationship with the USA. What Russia and the rest of us want is sanity in the Whitehouse. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Perle, Woolfwitz, Crystal is like a text book line up for rabbid insanity. The whole world is glad to see self serving ideologues gone. There is a lot to fix, the USA should be at the forefront. What ma

  • FUCK THIS NEWS! Obama will be like Bush! YEAH RIGHT! McCain is like Bush: Spending 10 billion dollar war in Iraq while economy is struggling, carelesss war against terrorist, and so on! FUCK RussiaToday!

  • Haha yeah right. Obama plans to turn it over to the people of Iraq, is for the middle-class, and has said that we should try to talk things out first--even if it's the leader of Iran. Nader is just sore that he lost.

    Also, bashing a whole party is stupid. This is part of why joining any political party is lame.

  • WRONG! Nader has a point! btw I agree, joining a party is like deliberately gouging out one of your eyes! You see things from one side clearly but are blind to everything else, like religion but I am not even gonna go there!

  • this guy is full of s..t, I'm from the Uk, and I believe that President Obama will make a big change not just for the american's but all over the world. America has evolved into something new which the whole of the world needs to catch up...

    Go President Obama!!!!!

  • No, you're the one with the problem. Calling someone a "little kid" for that makes you look like a condescending ass.

  • lol, sorry that was one of my friends who is in the same room as me. I don't get mad, and I don't really care what happens on this video. XD

  • you know more then one man makes the decisions in Washignton,

  • If you heard Obama's speech in Germany he made very clear to Europe that he wants us to draagged into sending more troops and funding to US war on terror in Afghanistan & expanding war in Pakistan.

    Our economy is going to go into recession and national security further undermined unless Britain's anti war movement to wakes up to say we like Obama, but we're ending our involvement in this false war on terror creating more terroism.

  • thankyou and well said.

  • I love how all these racist white people are praying for the downfall of this country just so they can say Obama was a bad president. I have never seen a President get attacked like this right after the election. Wanting the president of the United States to fail is unamerican and ignorant. Nader is just an old racist who hates the fact that a black man has won the job he's been trying to get for years. He called Obama an uncle tom on election night as a matter of fact. STOP HATING BLACK PEOPLE!

  • efeez, there have been several blacks at my university who have threatened whites for wearing McCain buttons. In one incident, a young white lady was cornered by blacks in a secluded area. She was harassed, called a "bitch," and told that "whites will be our slaves now!" Add to all of this that news outlets don't report black on white crime (such as the Newson/Christian murders) with the frequency that they report other types of crime. It's a travesty.

  • i kno some black dude who vote mccain.. prolly the only one in the usa

  • Nader is both the first Arab American and Lebanese American presidential candidate in the U.S.

    Beyond his vital work in consumer protection and enviromentalism of the 70's and 80's, Nader has become a simple tool of the far right wing of politics and an iconic caricature of his former activist self image.

    Constantly rejected by the voting public, he never fails to continue his Don Quixote style quest, but fails to take on major corporations of the modern age that dominate the internet.

  • You aren't mentally stable. It is obvious from your mannerisms in your video. You aren't all there at all lady. Seek help.

    P.S. Change your background image since the country is now blue.
