  • Bush is getting off scott free, he must be laughing so hard at u dumbass americans sittin in his mansion sippin Don Perion from chinese flute glass... damn some ppl are fucking powerfull and we are so fucking weak...

  • ANOTHER LIE BY GEORGIE.

  • why is the audio cut out from 1:02 to 1:04? youtube censorship at its best?

  • Good job mr. mongrel!

  • Obama needs to make an example out of Bush. Prosecute him for torture, and treason.

  • maybe, no excuse but maybe, that's why reporters didn't go after bush so hard.

  • heck, if we can't follow a 200 year old ducoment, i say we make and vote on a new consitution, that has the 4th in it, but changes a few things to make things clear, maybe eliminates the irrelavent stuff, keeps the stuff that matters, and adds some new things like a secession admendment, then maybe it will be important enough to enfroce.

  • If TYT hosted by Cenk ends up on MSNBC I know about 30 of my personal friends and family who would watch it every day religiously.! Good luck Cenk you can be MSNBC's Glenn Beck but with a brain and logical arguments. Peace

  • Hello? He say's they had "access" to all communications. Big news, of course they had access, who doesn't know that? Besides, if you have done nothing wrong what are you so worried about. And what are the chances of the government listening in to you of of billions of conversations every day?

  • They are monitoring the reporters to see if they get information about UFO's.

  • boooooooooooooo

  • *I mean Olbermann ;-) 2n's

    Anyway.. Are you high???

  • To aggiefitz: ????? The "source" was the man sitting right at Olbermans desk! Who was ACTUALLY THERE.

    Were u being sarcastic? or did u even watch this vid?

  • I love how TYT use sources to back up what they say...

    Oh wait....

  • @aggiefitz They were using a TV interview as the source, duh. They're a talk show, what do you want?

  • Some here will Poo-Poo this story AS IF IT WERENT TRUE> and of course it is. The rabid Ideologues who stole the executive branch In 2000, permanently damaged the Balance of powers in the USA. Im sure they thought it was all good. (It sure worked out good for them) They have become so skilled at building a base of the frightened Ignorant, that they have permanently changed what used to be the GOP. The original GOP of Eisenhower, & Goldwater is gone. Long live the RepubliCrank Party.

  • when wanting to travel to the Us from europe one has to agree with a nsa pop up basically allowing them acces to your computer and anyone affiliated to that computer ....

    land a the free huh... geuss ill be gooing to canada for me holidays

  • Soooo if you get caught being a terrorist by the US from a wiretap and they have no warrant then can't that evidence be thrown out?

  • George Bush should be put on trial for treason and crimes against humanity and then publicly executed.

    Simple as that.

  • i agree with the execution but not the trial

  • A+++

  • @karlkarlkarl1234 by beheading! :)

  • @KangaKucha

    Yep or the old-school hang-draw-quarter would suffice pretty well. There should be a national vote on the method of execution.

  • @karlkarlkarl1234 normallly i wouldn't be for the death peanatly, but in the case of this facists and mass murderer, i'll make an exception.

  • The following companies advertised today, MON., 8/24, on The Glenn Beck Program. PLEASE patronize companies that support FREE SPEECH! Direct TV, Binder & Binder, Easy Water, Liberty Mutual, American Sugnature Furniture, Carbonite, Discover, Cadillac, Toyota, gotomeeting, Rosland, Applebees, Smart Balance and Zero Water.

    Question with boldness!-Thomas Jefferson

  • and this went.........no where. Which was right where the facts of this story were. Of course now they are trying to get Cheney and the CIA on the program that was never a program, next week, wag the dog two because the popularity rating is dropping........

  • Do you know the responsibilities of the federal govenment according to teh constitution? or do you think everyone in government with a d after their name is a rock solid american who really cares about us. Not saying the ones with R's after their name do either. But seriously, do you know what the responsibilities are delegated to the federal government through the constitution? Health care is not one of them, science and technology is not one of them either, nor is industrial ownership.

  • One again, not a fan of teh Bushs, now Obama has been pissing all over the constitution and has stated his contempt for it in the past. As far as civil rights are concerned, wealth redistribution, national security and state rights. So how am I ''looking at things through a very very dirty pair of glasses'' when that's the truth? So 6 months isn't enough time to do anything wrong or change things for the worst in your opinion? Israel fought a war that lasted 6 days.

  • Comment removed

  • I realize that these people are completely about national security and anti terrorism, however, There are real terrorists out there that want to kill us and attack us and destroy us, and we need to know who, when and where. I'm no fan of George Bush or his father, but he obviously did a much better job at security then the guy we have now. Keith Olbermann must really love these guys, because someone is finally making him out to be a real journalist.

  • Comment removed

  • You sound like a very reasonable guy making statements like that, I'll try to take the high ground here. You obviously can't read english, maybe I'll press 2, I SAID I WAS NO FAN OF BUSH OR THE FATHER!!! And also I live near the towers and I had many family and friends who were in the PD and FD among others that were there and I joined the service 6 months later, not that I have to justify anything to someone like you. Now, why don't you move to Mozambique and see how it is there?

  • Comment removed

  • Wow man you're dumb, I'm not going to say anything about how I dinn't like Bush anymore if you keep on falling back on the non truth like liberals always like to do. And wow I guess I couldn't finish high school to join the service in your eyes. Cool UN Security? that's rough man, What branch does that anyway, I though they had their own police. What the hell are you talking about anyway? Are you so filled with hate that you just blather away all the time? you facsist!

  • Your tax money was two dollars and fifty sense and you got it back, look at the dung hill your two bucks and fifty is going to this year.........hell your GOD the Big B.O. has out spent every president in the history of the United States (combined).

  • For fuck's sake man, learn how to spell.

  • That would be for fucks' sake because fuck is hardly a noun moron. Also STFU and DILLIGAF pivot boy? Yawn.......

  • MSNBC worst ever ratings turk's ratings are right up there with the rest. Olberman has the top ratings on MSNBC but that is like having the top batting average on the WORST team in the Majors and if compared to ratings on others your batting average would put you triple A ball that is where keith Olberthetopman is so Turk is a step below triple A ball in journalism.........just the facts MSNBC sucks except to the fringe of sanity.

  • lol olbermann. I thought u were cool cenk. But u watch olbermann....lmao

  • Young Turk gee there's a reputable source..........Where is the other fact filled talking head for MSNBC Kieth "I'm still whining I got fired from Fox Olbmerman??""

  • Ya, people who rely on facts generally aren't welcome at Faux.

  • MSNBC fact has the worst ratings of all cable news, the worst bottom of the barrel. And via multiple independant transcript analyzing organizations they also have the worst factual reporting of all networks period, second worst NBC third ABC. That is just fact. Now how many convictions and investigations relative to this..........NONE, and you being a dumb cannook you get the free pass on common sense.

  • "hey also have the worst factual reporting of all networks period"

    I lol'd.

  • What would happen if the Government went after Politions and used their conversations against them?

  • blah blah fuckin blah. same bullshit drivel.

  • Socialism ahoy! I can't believe anyone considers you.

    Jackass says what?

  • Shhh. Big brother is listening. And they are bankrupting our country, and taking over Auto and oil industries and they are in bed with the unions and appointing ill-qualified Supreme court Justices !! Damn. All the ammo is sold out at Walmart.

  • i thought George W was gonna take government out of the people's lives.

  • Also there Young Turk idiot,

    Clinton did more than just lie about oral sex. He was sworn in to testify and then under oath lied that would be perjury others including conservatives went to prison for less, Bill went on book tours...as far as Clinton he was actually PROVEN he lied under OATH genius, Not your imagination for evidence. And ask Ms. Willey if she thought Bill never committed a crime (like sexual assault).

  • so he lied about sex.

    Bush refused to be even sworn in when questioned about 9/11, instead he said that he would only allowed to be question behind closed doors without recording or being sworn in and with Dick Cheney present.

    Hmm, really, what do you think is worse?

  • Everything Bush did Clinton did and probably did worse and Obama is doing it right now. Term Limits will fix what ails washington. Bottom line data mining has been going on since Kennedy and Clinton used the FBI to spy on his opponants never mind sending Sandy Berger to steal Top Secret SCI material from the national archives........you really are clueless...........

  • The worst part of your argument is your condescension. I cannot say youre wrong b/c it seemed that most of what you said were opinions. You didnt show any facts on your points about Bush, Clinton, & Obama, so I have no way to judge myself

    I didnt vote Obama or McCain this election. Still voted, just not them

    Were you trying to educate people, or just bash them b/c they dont see the world as you do? Calling me clueless w/o specifying a topic implies I know nothing. How could possibly know that?

  • For yourself and the huckleberry facts don't matter that is why you both love the turk and his "facts" let's see, any progress on those prosecutions of Bush yet? Answer no, reason in a congress and executive branch filibuster proof control, easy, there is no fact to this assertion. IT is FICTION. Like you too love to believe, go find another conspiracy theory. Pelosi is on the Senate Intel Committe she has headed for FOUR years Democrats have been in Control of both houses of congress for 2 Yr

  • ya junkyardmonkie, he sent me the same email. smoke pole and pussy idiot. hilarious isn't it. still hasn't said anything factual. Just reinforces the fact he is a scared little zealot right winger afraid of change or anything that is different from what he grew up with.

    The fact is, I use many media sources to fact check stories that I care about. It happens I like the turk's view, just like you no doubt like limbaugh's.

    You believe what you want to, no one can make you do research.

  • I see that Toddg8 saves his most venomous insults for posting on profiles.

    It also appears that you judge someone's character (and age) from a few posts on a youtube video. Im so sorry that you didnt read my post when you accused me of being to young. Especially when i said that I "Still voted, just not them"

    Your other insults like; "pussy idiot," "smoke some more pole," and "jackass" were to get a rise in me so that I would call you some in return. I dont call names, I just look for facts

  • ya, the sexual offense you rep-cons keep clinging to is definitely more grave than robbing liberties from American people. Especially since gwb & cheney refused to give sworn testimony on it. Congrats on your perspective.

  • GW AND DC did not "refuse" testify on it, there was no legal commission there just partisan grandstanding. Bottom line everything Bush did, Clinton did and Obama is doing right now. And I unlike you genius AM REGISTERED independant and HAVE voted both sides. So bow to your GOD the Great Obama. I say Term limits on all of em & no lobby money to EITHER party is the only fix 4corruption. While Pelosi takes Air Force Lear jets & Murtha names an airport after himself you whine about conservatives?

  • you take some false liberties with your little soap box don't you? So let's weed through your little rant to find the facts ok?...........ok I'm done. none there.

  • Let's weed through your little rant pout pissy fit, facts stated to dispute none, poles smoked by yourself, many. Juvenile huckleberry pussy, most probably.

  • "ask Ms. Willey if she thought Bill never committed a crime (like sexual assault"

    With that..... and the Monica thing in mind, consider this: Clinton was the one who signed most of the new sex crime bills into law, and....signed the sex offender registry in to law. Ironically, he should have been the first one on it.

  • What this guy talked about has been talked about for last 20 years (including all those pesky Dem administrations). Just a theory but hmmmmmmmm data gathering and sifting is probably not spying..........if you put it out over the air waves does any idiot think no one somewhere is listening? Hmmmmm yea right. I am sure Pelosi did not know anything about this too..........lmao

  • This story was about as real as keith's hair doo............I think it was the clinton's that spied on Americans and used the FBI to clean up their crime scenes....

    Olbermann another vast right wing conspiracy theory......

  • i can't believe obama is just brushing this under the rug! WTF? hold the bush admin accountable damn it

  • he sure is; I prefer O'Reilly's pedophilia far more... /:S

  • How Much CO2 emissions could we offset if all the worlds liberals stopped Speaking or Exhaling.......NOW Thats Progressive CHANGE WE Can Believe in ....Yes We Can!"

  • thought cops. Read 1984, replace sexcrime with terrorism.

  • Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely

  • you morons always miss what is really going on

  • I hope someone kills Cheyney.

    He seems like such a fuck, just thinking he is 100% above the law, what a huge cunt

  • Nixon's wiretaps were about 1/100th as bad as this. Only difference is Bush's cronies didn't where black masks.

  • Clinton lied about oral sex, Bush just fcked the constitution in the arse, and lied about it.

  • Also, the NSA was running a program called (among other things) Carnivore, which basically spied on phone calls, emails etc from the 90s through to early 2000s or so. Wikipedia it.

  • @Windshearing no, clinton did not lie he said it was not sex.

  • Bush was the worst possible president.  I can't believe he stayed for two terms. Everything he believed in was wrong. Everything he said was a lie. What a dork.

  • Obama Should lock these fuckers up xD

  • TYT...News for Nuts!

  • Interesting...there's a new definition of 'nut' now?

  • Now we know that we cannot trust the Republicans worth a damn. Now we know that they would lie to us and do whatever they wanted.

    We better remember this.

    But Obama is not likely to do anything about it. He is too busy to bother with a crusade against the Bush administration. If he succeeds with his programs the Republicans will selfdestruct during his first term. If he fails they are so stupid that most people still won't vote for them.

    We need a third party FAST.

  • poor Keith, he thought he'd finally achieved legitimate journalist status by exposing the "crimes" of the Bush administration. this story went absolutely nowhere. he must be pissed. epic fail

  • So, have you been keeping up with developements on the old Bush crimes watch? Looks like he may be in deep doodoo afterall.

  • 2 second audio gap at 1:02

  • I don't think anyone should be punished here - but, what were they listening to regular americans for? What were they looking for?

  • Now that it looks as if the current administration may very well follow the same precedent. (Especially considering Obamas voting record on this issue) The only option for individuals who feel strongly about wiretapping is to fight to change the Patriot Act.... Or at least have it re-written I'm just glad it looks like Obama will continue to make our safety a main concern, even if it means to continue wiretapping....

    Does this commentator have a MAN CRUSH on Olbermann or what?

  • I wonder if The Young Turds are gonna go after Obama when he does'nt bring any charges against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld...etc. I'm sure The Young Turds will excuse Obama in anything and everything that he does or fails to do. No even handedness, purely onesided and bias.

  • "there's an evil virus that's threatening mankind

    it's not state of" the art, it's a serious state of the mind"

    There seems to be a contagious ideological disease traveling through as an undercurrent in American society. A virus of ignorance, intolerance, consciously equating unvalidated assumption as fact regarding bush, among others - and it is depressing.

    Avoiding what the bush administration has unequivocally done to dismember the Constitution, does not make the issue disappear. Research.

  • Okay, Obama has been president for awhile now and I have'nt heard any change on the practice of spying on Americans. Obama will give no change in fact from what I'm hearing and seeing he will rachet it up not down.

  • I am so sick of all the lies, that expresident bush had told all of us american. What the hell are the congress afreit of. The man broke the LAW and I feel helpless. There is no justess in my US of America. I am very angry.

  • Learn how to spell, dumbfuck.

  • dont be mean, his point is valid. his spelling is irrelevant.

  • What lies?

  • power corrupts.

    absolute power corrupts absolutely.

  • I think the narrator of this video has a MAN-CRUSH on Olbermann..Come to think of it he not only sounds gay but look at hi lips. No really..I happen to be a libertarian but look at this guys face and the way he drools over Olbermann...His lips look like Freddy Mercury (who I really loved)..Olbermann is Ok but this guy MUST BE GAY. .just listen to his voice and his inability to complete a paragraph. He looks half Arab half Mexican...But doesn't speak as well.....

  • too bad hes not gay and lives with a female reporter in new york when hes not spreading the truth around.

  • Now that it looks as if the current administration may very well follow the same precedent. (Especially considering Obamas voting record on this issue) The only option for individuals who feel strongly about wiretapping is to fight to change the Patriot Act.... Or at least have it re-written I'm just glad it looks like Obama will continue to make our safety a main concern, even if it means to continue wiretapping....

  • Most of the rabid left wing media ARE TERRORISTS. They want to destroy our culture and promote multi culti lies.

  • Huh? Multi cult lies?Not everyone in this nations is a mayflower descendant buddy.I have Moroccan,Polish,Scottish and Jewish ancestors and that's pretty genuinely multicultural and we've served in 3 of this nation's wars and paid a lot of fucking taxes and you're saying there isn't room for us to be represented in media and goverment?You're as "knee jerk" as that neo-fascist cg66079 just from a different angle!

  • LOL......Neo this, Neo that ,, How about Neo Patriot.. That describes you morons on the left..... Have fun with your next 4 years. When we get hit again ( and we will) it will be your fault. good day and good riddance.

  • What's the difference between Bush's "Big Government" and "Obama's "Big Government"? 8 years of Bush,soaring prices,frozen wages,outsourcing,wiretapping,­PATRIOT ACT?If Obama leaves my taxes,transportation and RKBA alone he might just do alright.Let's give him a chance to get started at least and if he sucks then we can vote for Ron Paul in 4 years,right?

  • If I'm not mistaken you must be talking about Republicans... look at the past 8 years... oh really:-) dumb ass!

  • Violation of the 1st Amendment; a clear high crime & misdemeanor.

  • im sure some in congress knew

  • Funny, I haven't heard a word about this on FoxNews! Why would that be?

    Could it be that FoxNews is NOT fair & balanced? Or, are they just GOP-TV?

    I'm betting they didn't wiretap Fox reporters...

    .

  • Oh you underestimate the paranoia of our government.I'll bet they even wiretapped their own family members.When you are that treacherous you are also suspicious of everyone,even your friends and allies.

  • It's vastly heightened scrutiny for Obama, compared to Bush, it seems.

    These court cases re his birthplace and hence eligibility for presidency are spurious and just designed, by those who find Obama somehow offensive to them, to keep the swirling storm of bullshit going a bit longer.

  • He's supposed to be the "Anti-Bush" but he's not off to a very good start.When he strikes down the Patriot Act and goes after the War Profiteers who suckered this country out of $500,000,000,000 then I will breath a sigh of relief and give him some props but until then he's seems to be acting just like every other Ivy League crook we've put in there for the last 60 years...

  • May his presidency be the end of the era of the dumb and powerful Moronarchy.

  • This is identical to Obama's abolition of the Tiahrt Amendment which will allow criminals to get the names and addresses of all 90,000,000 gun owners so they can steal guns for crime.That's right fucktards,90,000,000 Americans own guns and the abolition of the Tiahrt Amendment will make their names and addresses public so skineheads,crip,el rukns,militia freaks,KKK,Al Qaeda,ect will have a list of people who's houses they can visitt and acquire some of the 300,000,000 firearms of legit citizens

  • Hang on, you think the criminals are more likely to brake into the house of people they know have weapons? Mmm .lol

  • MUDSHAEK111, it is not actually that absurd. Most break ins actually happen during the day when the kids are in school and the parents at work, therefore no one there to use the weapons. Guns are valuable items in the black market, so it would make sense that they would target houses with such valuable items.

  • CG,"Billy Joe Bob" already owned 4,500,000 AK47s,1,000,000 .50 rifles and plenty of "Combat Shotguns" as of 2002(I don't know what the figure is currently) but Billy Joe Bob isn't the one committing crimes with them CG.The guys who break into "Billy Joe Bob's" house are."Billy Joe Bob" has a right to adequate modern arms with which to counterbalance the force of the Federal Government should it ever be necessary.That's why the 2nd Amendment exists according to Jefferson,Adams,Washington,etc

  • Oh, you are one of those civilian militia nut jobs...I suspected so. The local militias were established because there were no established police or a standing army in most areas of the union and it took days to move troops across a state instead of hours. It was also established when the weapons of war were smooth bore hunting muskets. Civilians should not have weapons of war. I don't give a damn what you think the second amendment says. No civilian should own an assault rifle.

  • "Militia Nutjobs?"ROTFLMAO!Stop trying to cover your lack of education about this nation's history and a lack of respect for this nation's constitutional law by minimizing my assertions via epithets.You're just a hater because you're not able to be a debater,LOL

  • Yes Militia Nut jobs. You guys are an extremist deviant subculture that glorify violence and the idea of armed resistance, but you just get off by shooting big guns and fantasizing about killing people you don't like. You know who also considers themselves an armed resistance movement? Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Hamas. The difference is that they have the balls to actually do what you think about doing.

    Don't go around calling people uneducated when you don't know them. I have a Bachelor's.

  • Considering you couldn't pass an 8th grade civics class with your knowledge of government or the BOR I suppose your degree is in a science or technical field?I'd stick to that if I were you because political science,US History and constitutional law are kryptonite to you,LOL They have a lot of 1/2 Moroccan Jewish guys in the militias where you live?Maybe I should move there and join up,hehehehehe

  • What do you know about what I know about civics? All we have discussed is interpretation of the Second Amendment which is controversial even at the highest levels of academia. For you to claim that you are right and no other perspectives are valid is ignorant and not very scientific, yes political science is a science also not a philosophy anymore.

    By the way my BS is in Psychology with a minor is Sociology, so yes I do have a sociocultural perspective rather than a strict legal one.

  • The second Amendment is only controversial when an attempt is made to discuss it outside it's historical context.Shall I enlighten you as to it's historical context(ie the supporting statements from it's authors?)Or shall I merely refer to the SCOTUS precedent DC vs Heller? "No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms" --Thomas Jefferson: Draft Virginia Constitution, 1776.

  • "The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation...(where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."--James Madison

  • Any extrapolation limiting the individual right to keep and bear arms is no different than trying to justify illegal wiretapping because they are both the product of our constitutionally guaranteed rights.All or none and I will not give up a single right nor stand idly by while someone like yourself tries to ignorantly pick and choose these rights like a buffet.Demanding some,disregarding and threatening threatening others.

  • The argument has also been made that the second amendment only covers "a well regulated Militia", meaning a legally established Militia. Individuals have no legal right to bear arms if you are a literalist.

    In the same way, you don't really have the right to assembly anywhere at anytime you want. The assembly has to be a legal and authorized one if it is to be held in a public area.

    There is also the battle between literalist and those that emphasize the "spirit of the law".

  • How does the 2nd guarantee against tyranny of you have to ask the tyrant for his permission?A massive logical flaw,yes?

  • There is a reason we have a peaceful, democratic process for a change in representation. Not all revolutions are fought with guns.

    If you would prefer you could petition your congressmen to change the bill of rights or just be thankful that not all Americans are literalists.

    The spirit of the law is to provide the people with a means of self-defense in a time when professional police didn't exist, not to protect the people's right to commit treason by waging war on the government.

  • It was meant to protect you from a police state like Britain and had nothing to do with the absence of "professional police" police are a civil deterrent and have no obligation to protect you according to SCOTUS.You have an awful lot to unlearn before you can even grasp the "Spirit of the Law" Cg

  • The good thing about the "Spirit of the Law" is that it invites debate and different perspectives. This is healthy in free society and why education is so important for only an educated population can have a constructive policy discussion. This is why I also support Obama's plan to make higher education a right for those who are willing to do civil or military service. What say you on that subject?

  • I think public service in exchange for an education would be the salvation of this country.I would even go as far as to link public service to the right to vote but that would be unconstitutional so no matter how good my intentions they must give way to the republic and it's guaranteed freedoms and rights

  • 80% of all weapons used in violent crimes are stolen.Where did they steal them from?

  • My question was rhetorical and not meant to be taken seriously .but I will ask a serious question, how many burglary's are committed where a weapon is the chief motivation ? I would speculate that stealing a weapons is a decant bonus, in that they are worth a lot on the black market and are light and easy to hide. but how many households are targeted in the knowledge they have a weapon .

  • Actually, there are a lot of other crimes that are paired with break ins. They know they can't used a registered gun or it would trace back to them, so they break into a house, steal a gun, wait a few days, commit whatever crime they were planning (car jacking, hold up, murder), then dump or sell the weapon on the black market. It is big business especially in areas where gangs operate.

  • Don't worry, it was all for

    The

    War

    Against

    Terrorism.

    Twat ftl.

  • This is outrageous. Bush and his staff NEED to be indicted for this, this is trampling on the first and fourth amendments.

  • the public should petition Obama to fucking do something. THIS IS FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS! FUCKING CHRIST GOD DAMN IT GOD DAMN AMERICA!!

  • Heres a tough question to ask oneself: If the Democrats and Republicans are essentially both owned by the same Industries/Lobbies, and are basically, like sonya said, two heads on the same animal, I ask: Is America really a democracy?

  • No! Lol

  • "This is the most secretive administration I have ever covered." Veteran reporter Helen Thomas in 2006.

  • Every administration since Reagan is equally as secretive including Omaba.We have been shut out of goverment and they do like Pelosi said during the bailout "we know what is best for our constituents" STOP FOOLING YOURSELF

  • How do you know how secretive Obama (not Omaba) will be? He has only been in office 5 days. Also, everything he has done in that five days has been to open up the government and eliminate its illegal/criminal activities that grew like mushrooms out of cow shit while Bush was in office.

  • Ahem,Obama has been having closed meetings with everyone from a SCOTUS judge(while under adjudication by that same court) to representatives to world leaders and the press can't even get a tape or a picture.This president is turning out to be the most secretive we've had yet.He's making deals behind closed doors and not even pretending to do the will of the people.This guy is in HIDING and appointing people to his cabinet directly tied to campaign money and political favors.Google it yourself

  • Maybe there's an element of truth in that; but none of that is ILLEGALor UNCONSTITUTIONAL

  • shutting out the press,talking to a SCOTUS Judge while he's getting sued and trying to cook up a gun grab before he's even sworn in are ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

  • You are complaining about Obama not allowing reporters in his office when he is meeting with people one on one? Are you serious? Give me a fucking break. What do you want, a CSPAN-Obama where a camera man follows Obama around with a camera 24/7 or maybe a 24/7 ObamaTube?

    Anyhow, I am sure that if the topics discussed were not classified and if the other party didn't want it held in confidence, he would provide a transcript is asked.

  • When you are being sued in the supreme court nothing is "classified" genius.Even Herr Bush Fuhrer was more transparent his first 180 days in office

  • What the hell are you talking about the only suit I know about is from that idiot Berg that still doesn't believe he is a natural born citizen, which is absurd, and as for the gun grab, gun control is very constitutional and very necessary. I personally don't want a billy joe bob to have a S.A.W., combat shotgun, Barrette .50 antitank sniper rifle or even an AK-47. The very people who want them are the very people who don't need and shouldn't have them.

  • Say What?Berg may be an idiot,his suit may be absurd but secret meetings with a federal judge while you're being sued in federal court is EXACTLY the kind of cronyism Obama was supposed to stop.He was also supposed to end bullshit like the Patriot Act and illegal wiretapping but he's just going to change gears and invade the privacy of Law Abiding natural citizens instead by getting rid of the Tiahrt Amendment instead.

  • I would be surprised if Bush DID NOT spy on reporters, businessmen and political opponents. That is WHAT spying is for.

    That is why spying has to be regulated.

  • The next president if a republican wouldn't let Obama get away with it because he's a democrat (Obama). Look at Clinton.

  • Because if you are hiding it you're doing something criminal just like what Cenk said. He's so right and this pisses me off. I do hope Obama goes after these people.

  • We're going to be seeing a lot more whistleblowers. Now I wonder if anyone will be held accountable for the crimes.

  • I bet you a pound (sterling) to a pinch of shit that Congress was wiretapped. First, it gives Bush advance warning of their plans so he can plot ways to head them off. Second, it may give him blackmail material so he can force people to vote his way.

    It's obvious that somebody as criminal and immoral as Bush and Cheney would do that.  Once you think about it, you'd be astonished if it turned out that they hadn't done that.

  • I wonder if George Bush's gestapo brought down Gov. Blagojevich, Gov. Spitzer, Caroline Kennedy, Sen. John Edwards, Congressman Tim Mahoney, Kilpatrick, Larry Langford, democratic mayor of Birmingham, Don Siegelman, former gov. of Alabama, CIA Valerie Plame, and the list goes on. If George Bush isn't prosecuted then we might as well burn the U.S. Constitution.

  • Don't forget he sold out Jesus Christ for 30 pieces of silver.

  • He needs to get arrested. He shouldn't even be working for the government.

  • Funny that all of this is based on a lie

    since 911 was an inside job

  • I am glad they were granted the power to access any information from anyone so that they can target the real homegrown terrorist.

  • It is comforting to know the Obama administration looks as if they will continue these practices...Although they may be a little more discrete about it.... I'm a big believer that if you don't like the laws or feel they are unconstitutional fight to change them... It's what makes this country so great....

  • There is no proof anyone was wiretapped... Only one disgruntled worker says it happened...

    No recordings, documents, filed lawsuits, ect.... The Patriot Act (passed 45 days after 9-11) does allow for secret wiretapping approval required by only a secret court....

    Do you not think the current administration is doing the same thing right now? It is why they have remained mum on the whole subject.. Show me the proof anyway.... Then maybe we can debate the legalities...

  • A couple of things:

    If these allegations are true, the fourth amendment of the constitution was violated and the law was broken.

    I want to see this guy go on Fox News, on tough programs such as The O'reilly Factor or Hannity. I want to see if he can stick to his story on hard news shows. Olbermann is a far-left zealot.

    For Obama, i agree we should look forward and look back. If there is strong evidence of wrongdoing, Obama's Justice Department should investigate.

  • Omg! You mean every comment I made on You Tube calling George "the Asshole" Bush he and his gestapo saw? That's great now I feel vindicated; because he really was an asshole not only figuratively but also literally. George Bush is not only The Great American Asshole but a Great Nazi-American Asshole at that! Oh if only kangaroo courts were part of the American system of justice, that would be sweet.

  • Now we know human nature 1st hand when the 1st thing done is self preservation over protection by one side and the other side asks for transparency willing to trade prevention for world peace. Revenge is a bitter cancer and if Carter feels better for having it through all this is that karma? Why not trade it all for peace after having conquering ourselves so well.

  • Why not go directly to the source of treason? Bravo, President Bush.

  • I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for one of the private communications of some enchanted BUSH CRONY to be leaked out to the public. SOME private phone call of a married BUSH LOVER having phone sex with his gay partner. Woohoo, wiretaps are harmless!

  • SO much corruption even more than I thought, I do agree they can't just overlook this. THe criminals need to be dealt with. THe bigger the responsibility the bigger the punishment should be. I think Bush, Chenie should be given the death sentence. Considering they are responsible for thousands of innocent civilian deaths.

  • communism

    An economic and social system envisioned by the nineteenth-century German scholar Karl Marx. In theory, under communism, all means of production are owned in common, rather than by individuals (see Marxism and Marxism-Leninism). In practice, a single authoritarian party controls both the political and economic systems. In the twentieth century, communism was associated with the economic and political systems of China and the Soviet Union and of the satellites of the Soviet Union.

  • You know what... we now know this and guess how it will be used...it WONT be...Bush will get yet another pass...It seems no matter what is found out, good or bad ...it's all just let slide.!

  • unfortunately until or even if this is investigated, i am going to have to dismiss this guy's testimonial as a disgruntled fired employee. if he's telling the truth, which i wouldn't be surprised at all if he is, then throw all who were involved to the lions.

  • This is from ONE anonymous source. This is about is reliable as anything big ol dorky oberman says. This si a bunch of nothng..like 99% of MSNBC every night

  • Interesting that the new administration hasn't really expressed their concerns about this... They will to some degree also continue this Congress approved act to protect our country and it's citizens.... A missile strike already killed 17 in Pakastan under the new administration... And yes they're still listening and will continue to do so..Thankfully!

  • The people that are defending the Bush administration and condemning any criticism of their actions need to take a class..."Constitiution and Bill of Rights for Dummies, 101"...damn, no wonder our country is in so much trouble...

  • Why would yall take up for bush and he was spying on all american people include everybody on this page.(dumb fucks)
