Kucinich Responds To Obama's Address To Congress

[aaronmoravek]

Wow! even though he is a socialist he has makes more sense then 99% of congress. Sorry Democrats he just does not hold a candle to Dr. Ron Paul

[OnenessNow]

We the seven billion citizens of the world who only want Peace, Love and Light.

We demand NO NUKES AND NO FLUKES for all of the generations to come.

We demand FULL DISCLOSURE of Official First Contact by all governments of the world.

We want all troops to RETURN HOME and rebuild AMERICA's Power Grid with GEO THERMAL and HYDRO KINETIC earth friendly power systems.

[JamesRideout123]

We love you Kucinich.

[paperhandsunion]

Regardless of party, we need to team up to defeat corruption.

[YoungIvyScholar]

DENNY 2012!

[pilate10]

Although I like Obama, I believe it's this man, Dennis Kucinich, that should be president of the USA. America needs more politicians like him.

[adam13weishaupt]

We vote for all these political prostitutes and we get what we deserve. We should not vote for them or allow them to manipulate and lie to us by listening to them. If we voted only for honest and capable people with no corporate ties, we would have a much better society.

[signboyy]

insurance companies only pay out a fraction of the money they bring in from their clients.

the rest goes into the pockets of the billionaire owners.

its a scam

private health insurance must be abolished

but they control our politicians, even most of the democrats.

wake up people!!!!!!!!!!!

[mac9641]

It's a two headed one party system, and you no longer have a republic of the people, but a district run and controlled by banks and corporations. Kucinich was the only one brave enough to bring about impeachment charges against Bush.

He is also one of the very few members in either the house or the senate that seems to pay attention to the constitution. A document that the government seems to have forgotten exists, and one that must be followed if we are ever to have a republic of the people

[mac9641]

A strong military is one thing. policing the world, barging into other countries under false pretenses, and going to war without a declaration from congress are in no way conservative no matter how you slice it..

"true conservatism" doesn't exist anymore, because we have a Federal Government that has ballooned out of control and two parties that are both big government parties. the republicans used to be the small gov't party, but as time has gone on they are almost identical to the Dems

[jeremyraybrown]

@mac9641 I completely agree. The two parties act like they are different, but they essentially make the same mistakes. I'm actually fearful of the American future and more so not because of immoral wars, but because of horrible economic policy. Whatever happened to freedom of choice and capitalism.  It has turned into corruption, corporatism, out of control spending, and the government acting like it knows how to spend my money better then I do. This is madness and it will end badly!

[zoomorphicrap]

yep, its official, your a deuche

[electroexecutee]

@zoomorphicrap Blockygraphics is correct, you cannot learn the difference between "your" and "you're". Oh, and by the way, it's "douche", not "deuche", unless it's yet another of your misspellings of a German person.

[manelmariarodrigues]

@electroexecutee You're = you+are, its different

[zoomorphicrap]

your a fucking loon, and i just ripped your profiles and ur ugly, wow r u ugly.

[mac9641]

and so now you spend your days on youtube tirelessly insulting other people in an effort to prove to yourself and everyone else that you are actually worth something. While ironically projecting the very insecurities you wish to cover up. you might as well run around screaming I hate myself and don't feel I am a worthy human being, please accept me.

Everything you need is inside yourself, and I suggest that be the place you start looking my friend

[mac9641]

Actually Kucinich is one of the few commendable dems in the senate right now. He has been a big supporter of the bill to audit the Fed and has preached a non intervention foreign policy for years now, his views are closer to Ron Paul's and true conservatism that many of the republicans even

Also might be worthy to note that I believe your issues go far beyond your penis. My guess is you were probably adopted, abused/molested, or just never really felt you measured up to someones standards

[mac9641]

I am truly sorry for whatever has happened to you during your life my friend that has left you feeling so worthless. I am afraid it probably goes far beyond the size of your manhood.

Your projection of insecurity is astonishing really and your words reflect with brutal precision

If I was afraid to hear what you had to say I would have simply blocked you or not responded. To the contrary I am quite intrigued

Do carry on

[mac9641]

Your persistent badgering and need to prove yourself only serve as a testament to your tiny pecker.

and your comment was deleted on accident, it's back now, so don't be too upset guy

[jrjustreal]

We vote for which of the two thieves to better exploit us; hence we complain, but the cycle repeats.

[zoomorphicrap]

Kucinich should be president shame on America for limiting yourselves to Mccain and Obama. The world should be run on common sense not politics.

[mizzoulibertarian]

rather than focusing on ideology, we need to focus on honesty. there is so little honesty among the politicians in d.c.

[jrjustreal]

Understatement my friend, there is NO honesty there.

[johny344]

Kucinich, one of the few honourable men in Washington. Agree with him or disagree, at least hes honest.

[Redcarpet01]

Yup. I sort of wish I lived in his district, despite all the problems in the US, lol

[brainsplatty]

This is why I "throw my vote away" on Ralph Nader. Because the 2 parties aren't helping this country, they are destroying it. Go ahead and blame Nader for 2000 if it makes you feel better, but now with dems in control they could give us run off votes, proportional representation, etc. so that never happens again but they wont because they are happy with the 2 party system. They need a Nader to shift responsibility on for their own shortcomings. 2 parties is 1 party away from a dictatorship.

[spindoctorsrule]

I wish that Kucinich was our president.

[mac9641]

Paul/Kucinich best ticket ever

[CarribeanBeachbum06]

I'm for competition of ideas but Kucinich stifles that discussion by banning IP addresses of those who won't agree on his website forum. Boooooo! Kucinich. Shameful!

[vfl123]

perhaps he means for his website forum to encourage positive thinking, dialogue, and community authorship of innovative ideas. If you'd like to dispute and compete with his ideas, I suggest you do so in a more public forum than an obscure chat room on the internet.

[CarribeanBeachbum06]

I think Kucinich then needs to be more open and tell people he really isn't interested in opinions on his forum, he just wants "yes" people to post. Therefore it is fair to let people here know where he and his group stand on the issue.

[DivNathan]

we can see in kucinich face that we are deeply fucked :-(..this is world problem

[esj8341]

What insurance firm do you believe owns the entire insurance market?

[thundaleg]

There is a majority of Americans that support a single payer option. 59%. What is stopping us? ACT OUT! SPEAK UP! ORGANIZE!

[tsenzei]

I'm all for a public option done right. I'm against many of the proposals Obama puts forward (mandating health insurance being the big thing). And I'm against the bills the President is currently supporting.

[nairategev]

Ya, more of the same...instead of single-payer, let's feed the rich off of the crumbs of the poor and call it health care reform. Obama is just another conservative in liberal clothing so what the fuck is Limbaugh blabbing about? Republicans should be happy that they have another reverse-robin-hood like Clinton and, as usual, they get to keep all the money while saying to the masses "let them eat cake"! Kucinich is the only radical (i.e. REAL) liberal Democrat left.All the others are demublicans

[organiccarrotjuice]

I'm starting to agree and a lot of scientific info about 911 that has not being brought to light, the Dems are starting to lose that freedom glow they had one year ago......

[nairategev]

I don't know about a freedom glow a year ago but, again, with the exception of Dennis Kucinich, the democrats are just another branch of the Republicans. Check this out on youtube: Bill Maher-Democrats are the new Republicans. It's a click from The Young Turks. If we really want freedom from the enslavement of the rich and their puppets we need to elect someone in the Green party or Ralph Nader. Too bad we didn't get Kucinich either. Check out Kucinich on youtube as well.

[mac9641]

Don't forget that 6 of the 9 members on the 9/11 commission have since come forward, two have written books, about how the whole investigation was a cover up, how they received a lack of funding, lack of cooperation from both the administration and the Pentagon. They were denied access to a whole litany of information, and even after the final report was written Bush came through and classified half of what was in the official report.

Why all the red tape?

What don't they want us to see?

[EchelonMonitor]

With control of both houses and the white house, they didn't have to steamroll anything--they just had to do it.

They didn't want it. What they want to do is payoff the insurance and pharmaceuticals who are giving and raising massive bribe money--big bribe-Pelosi event coming up sponsored by United Health bribery group--google it.

They're blaming the failure on the GOP to mislead the gullible, while proceeding with their agenda exactly as planned.

[EchelonMonitor]

Read "Who's Blocking Health Care Reform Now? Blue Dogs? Senate Dems? House Progressives? Or the White House Itself?" at

Disobey Obama

stimulator (dot) tv

[gbmarshall]

Mandating that EVERYONE buy private health insurance is like mandating everyone buying air insurance. I just invented the product. You are forced to buy it from me and the gov. will pay me if you can't afford it. If we have no choice, then why just add $10k to everyone's taxes and buy it for us - ie single payer? There IS NO DiFFERENCE. Let the gov pay the isnurance industry a 30% premium for doing nothing.

[heteroglossiamerica]

Pardon my language, but this constant hedging on the public option is a load of bullshit. Without it, we might as well not have reform at all.

[Grindmen25]

I agree im sick od all these right wing nuts getting all the air time and bitching about stuff they dont understand. A single payer system would the best kind of reform

[SpamDevourer]

This so called reform is worse than doing nothing. A public option that almost nobody can get is no option at all. Public option was supposed to be the compromise. Somehow, deranged idiots following Beck and Limbaugh derailed the entire damn thing, Obama caved, and we end up giving the teabaggers everything. Throwing liberals under the bus is not going to raise your approval ratings Obama. The conservatives are never going to like you, you should have steamrolled a public option through.

[Yankhadenough]

Dennis , you may not feel comfortable saying "my way or the highway", so the American people will loudly articulate this truth>>> Single Payer OR the highway to nowhere!!!

[Yankhadenough]

The status quo is INHERENTLY CRIMINAL, when is the rest of the Congress, the President, and our countrymen & women going to "get it".

[OrmEmber]

I worked for the people who denied and dropped coverage for sick customers who had insurance. Obama is wrong to compromise with the insurance companies. He's not only compromising with the foxes who guard the chickenhouse, he's throwing them more chickens.

The Republicans don't care about the poor uninsured, the insurance companies don't care about anyone. And anyone who thinks voting down the public option is "good", is eventually going to get bit in the ass when they need help the most.

[AngelAsmodeus]

Why is everyone on the insurance companys . the high prices that the doctors and hospitals charge is as much a promble as anything. Why can't the poor and rich ALL pitch in and cover everyone on insurance . our taxes pays for all the government to have insurance . All we need is for everyone to come together and charge a reasonable price . and why do we pay high office visits charges and then have to wait for a extra 30 to 60 minutes after appointment time ???? lol Heck my time is important to!

[Yankhadenough]

AngelAsmodeus The doctors and hospitals are providing a legitimate service, so medical costs need to be negotiated to come down and keep everybody happy making a decent living as well. However the "wealthcare" insurance companies are simply a middleman scam, nothing more, and the only thing that needs to happen to their prices is to TOTALLY DISAPPEAR.

[ismuks]

kucinich 2012

[Yankhadenough]

Humans compared to automobiles, how could Obama do this? It will take Kucinich to un-do this.

[lovuian]

We will be back this is just is a delay

Healthcare can't take up 50 % GDP

[kevinthe1st]

Kucinich is a man for the American PEOPLE.

[trehansen]

So wait the details would assume that because another of Obama's policies are not catering to all people but instead are socializing and providing for wealthy companies. Blatant fascist policy and anyone who thinks this is communism or socialism is an idiot.

I am not surprised at all that this policy is nothing but a scam to get corporations rich, disguised as a liberal policy.

[edub77]

Kucinich has a hawt wife.

[KamikazeKoscki]

$3,800 everyone will be forced to pay their own health care, just like car insurance. So the $3,800 will go to the insurance companies. Those who can not afford it will have the gov./tax payer pick up the bill.

[ResOGlas]

What planet is Dennis from?

Earth.

What Country is Obama from?

...*zing!

[moh2o]

Look here you dumb ass conservatives, here is a 'Liberal' who is telling it straight up like it is. I am not even a supporter of the left on a lot of things , but look Dennis is telling it straight up.

[natesworld23]

this is one of the very FEW congressmen that actually cares about our country. he is unaffected by big money. most else are bought and paid for.

[anona72]

love u dennis

[silverbluejc]

What a marxist, leniniet. Dennis = anti-american.

[AmericanMale1953]

Dennis the Menace...

[AnitaMarieStewart]

Dennis is the only one who makes any sense. You all on these comments who don't support him, are not listening. Just wait until you get sick and need healthcare.

[AmericanMale1953]

Grey LOL!

[AmericanMale1953]

I cut a beard off a Sheite the other day, is that an act of Terrorism?

[AmericanMale1953]

Kucinich looks more like an Alien now then he did 30 years ago...

[Zoklor]

this is what amazes me. Dennis is right on and I bet people will still believe Obama has "the people" in mind. Obama is just as bought as other politicians.

[silverbluejc]

Thats not Kucinich, that's an elf!

[RemoSC49]

Dennis the Midget

[oldtownkid]

That is exactly why I oppose anything that moves that says is conservative, because under that label there is nothing more than intolerance, fear, insecurity and hate. Everyday more and more reject your dumbservative racist views.

[henleythecat]

I use the think that Dennis Kucinich was a little out there... Not any more. He is absolutely right.

We will not be able to compete in this global economy until we get to a single payer system, replace the ability to file a malpractice case against doctors with something else.

[jer4703]

I like his hott wife more!!!

[oldtownkid]

Dennis Kucinich is right, but our country is not ready for the truth. We have to get rid of insurance companies, they are the problem, they are the unnecessary middle man. What business owner keeps paying an employee so much money for doing nothing? So, if Ins Co's don't contribute in any way to the business of providing medical care, then why don't we just do away with them. Single payer is the real solution, fuck republicans, Dems should side with Kucinich on this and just do it.

[CommonSenseJoe]

Insurance companies do not control the cost of healthcare. They control the cost of health insurance. Dealing with the cost of healthcare means dealing with providers.

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

I'd vote for Kucinich/Paul or Paul/Kucinich in a heartbeat. And don't lecture me about ideology. There's a lot more common ground between liberals and libertarians than most would be willing to admit.

[SexCyberGuideCom]

that fun

[asphyxiafeeling]

GO KUCINICH! Him and Ron Paul are my favorite Congressmen. Oddly enough they have pretty different approaches to government, but both of them actually sound pretty good. If everyone in the democrat party was like Kucinich and everyone in the Republican party was like Ron Paul i think we could have some REAL DEBATES.

[kinga750]

Most of the problems we are facing today can be solved with simple common sense, from the right or the left. As long as people have some basic level of common sense and decency, they will naturally have much in common.

[toshzpelta]

Kucinich/Paul 2012!!! (if we're not all dead by then)

[oldtownkid]

Did you know that Kucinich proposes medicare for all, what GOPers are so afraid of, while Ron (closeted anti-semite) Paul is the complete opposite? Paul wants to dismantle social security, medicare, medicaid, and allow insurance companies to butcher americans?

[ElastigirlNM]

Learn about what Ron Paul is about before posting such drivel. Ron Paul wants healthy competition. This country is full of monopolies...including insurance companies. How many are there? If the government would actually enforce anti-trust laws we wouldn't be in half the messes we're in....The gov't should be involved in certain areas but not in ALL areas...

And just because someone thinks that Israel runs the US it doesn't make them antisemitic...

[Surfurman]

You all don't get it. The priorities of the USA government in no particular order are corporate interests, Wall Street, big energy and Israel.

For example if Congress were passing health care for Israelis, it would be passed on a bipartisan basis in short order. Actually we have with our billions to them a year.

Our Congress essentially works for the Israeli interests on a much larger scale than most can fathom. US Congress rarely if ever works in the interests of the US people.

[RuflessRecords]

Surfur, conspiratorial shiite. What you Jew-hating peabrains always forget to mention in your ravings about a couple billion to Israel per year is that it was set up under Jimmy Carter to give aid to Israel and Egypt in like a 3/2 ratio so we're giving a lot to Egypt too. Where's your Egypt conspiracy? We're giving them billions. On top of that we give money to Palestine, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other Muslim countries. Why don't they make your fairytales?

[Surfurman]

A summary of your recent quotes. You are neither old nor intelligent enough to post here. " O Conspira-Queer, conspiracy crap, mentally inferior conspiracy trash, CLASSIC CONSPIRACY FREAK LOGIC, conspira-trash freak, which conspiracy crap, the worst spelling on Youtube is from conspira-fairies, typical brainpower contained in the conspiracy movement , ok conspiracy queer, conspiraqueer, There is no genocide there (Gaza), zionistconspiracyfreaks/Jew-ha­ters, mostly conspira-queers".

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

go to gaza and hate jews elsewhere.

kthxbie

[RuflessRecords]

Surfur, yes I get in arguments with conspira-queers from time to time, as I loathe them more than political opponents. Thank you for taking the time to read my entire message board. But back to the question: why don't you have conspiratorial fantasies about Egypt because we give billions in aid to them just as we do Israel. In fact if you add in all the handouts to Muslim nations it's much more than what we give the Jews. So-- I'm sure you have Gizaist conspiracy theories too, right.

[kinga750]

Israel is supported because it is a strategic position in the middle east. In fact, you could even argue it is necessary as long as we are dependent on foreign oil.

Without controlling the region, we are forced to pay whatever those countries ask for their oil. This is not a good situation for the United States to be in. So we make war, and support our allies in the region (not just Israel).

The solution? Stop using oil. I would love to see the day...

[Surfurman]

kinga750....Israel has COST the USA TRILLIONS since we were foolish enough to support its inception as a racist state and its theft of land from the Pals. 120 billion for direct aid, another 50 billion to its neighbors as bribes to be nice to Israel, trillions due to the cost of 2 oil embargoes, Trillions for a war on terror that was initiated because of our blind support for Israel, 9-11 itself was likely anything but what we were told, Iraq War for Israel, Bankster theft of trillions.

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

we don't "support" israel, we just give it enough money to prevent it from destroying the arab states.

it is true, in the event of a military exchange in the region, israel is our only true ally, both civilization-wise and reality. it plays a serious role defending the conservative arab states, as it did during the egyptian/yemen war and iran/iraq war. it also acted as a proxy state to fight arab communists/socialists that were soviet puppets.

plus, israel is integral in our military.

[janerizzo12]

Thank you Dennis. Obama has sold out to wall street and pharma

[DillonX]

After this Insurance bill fails to work.

CAN WE PLEASE ELECT KUCINICH IN 2012!!

[DillonX]

Brilliant Dennis!

We must have the PUBLIC OPTION.

Otherwise, the Insurance Companies win & costs will continue to skyrocket!

[patginsd]

Dennis!!!

On the money.

Sad but true.

We need to keep fighting against

Profit from Healthcare Denial

aka For-Profit Health Insurance

[franknyt]

Shameful how your country is works.

[DoubleGauss]

This little freak is such an unabashed , unashamed communist.

[hassleoffa]

This little freak has a dick the size of a table leg ... buddy is swinging pipe ... have you seen his wife?

[FlintfromOhio]

Right on Mr . Kucinich !!

[RWRizzo]

Dennis speaks truth to power, as does Senator Bernie Sanders of VT.

Here's what I want...

KUCINICH / SANDERS '12

Candidates for WE THE PEOPLE,

not

"them the corporations."

[jediknight36]

There we go!

[3ddan24]

ACORN Officials Could Face Criminal Charges for Trying to Help 'Pimp' and 'Prostitute'

[elnegroid]

i bet dennis kucinich could kick robert reichs ass. dennis is old but hes wiry.

[jekylfoot]

i wish kucinich was president.

[WinterHaven]

I think we need to shelf this health care and strictly concentrate on getting people jobs. What happened to green energy? EVERY county needs power plants-solar, wind, and ocean turbines all produce tons of energy. Infrastructure needs fixing. Lots of it. Once you get the JOB situation fixed, everything else will fall into place. CURE THE CAUSE-not just fix symptoms. Health care cost is a symptom. due to massive unemployment. For now mandate EACH STATE deal with health care in their own way.

[jediknight36]

But if health care is fixed, it will do two things: 1) allow people who are too sick to work to get better and 2) ease the pressure on employers and allow them to hire. This has taken center stage because America has been stupid enough for the last 100 years that this needs to happen now. The green jobs are coming.

[78klausnomi]

Um, we are aleady paying for HC for the unisured in the ER and it the single largest part of our GNP!!! Almost 20%!!!!!!! It is killing us.

[jediknight36]

I feel Obama sold us out... Hopefully it only takes a few years after it takes effect. Or maybe the MAHD docs can change his mind.

[jediknight36]

Go Kucinich! This man needs to run against Obama!

[dksittingduck]

He already did. Idiot america isn't ready for the truth yet. The rightards painted him as a lunatic.

[jediknight36]

I know, I meant in 2012. We didnt even get a chance to vote for him here in Texas. I wonder if he went through the lawsuit against the state. Obama isnt enough change. He sold us out and is pandering to big business.

[oldtownkid]

Wishful thinking, bro. Dennis Kucinich has been one of my fav politicians but America is not ready for someone like him. If many in our country find Obama to be a socialist, imagine Kucinich. Obama is proposing a public option competing with the sharks, Kucicich would get rid of the sharks and create a single payer system. If you've been paying attention you probably could see why someone like Dennis Kucinich unfortunately could never be our president. They would tag him a commie and goodbye !

[78klausnomi]

I agree with much of what he says, but when he talked about believing in UFO's it pretty much ruined his chances with most people in the country to get their vote. I'm just sayin'.

[jhendrixfanatic2]

he's locked in the greys vote

[onehundreddollars]

In a sane world, this man would be president.

[pen31]

quoting for truth

[Snicki1946]

He was my choice.

[nilent]

Kucinich is 100% right.

Without a serious public option this is a scam.

Obama's failure to DEMAND a serious public option is a disgrace and will be a total disaster if it passes.

Giving the insurance industry a trillion dollar windfall to fuck us with is insane.

[Mosor88]

Dannis has is it right. We should go universal, not this half assed crap/

[josephebacon]

Dennis is telling the truth. This is nothing more than more corporate welfare.

[OrchidDada]

crakneck,

FYI, Kucinich voted NO on bush's war. Get yourself educated and then make a comment, otherwise, you just look like a fool.

[crakneck]

Fuck you Dennis you wasn't talking greasy about going to war for George Evil. SO shut your cot-damn ass up and sign whatever the fuck Obama tells your lame ass to sign.

[KC72509]

you don't know dennis at all do ya ? you're wrong, and ignorant.

[oldtownkid]

He was, he is, and he will always be, an ardent opponent to Bush's regime and all GOP stupidity. He is telling the truth, but our country is not ready for the truth. You see how dumbservatives are reacting to a public option, imagine if you propose Medicare for all, like what Kucinich wants (and like what they have in Australia and other places). The problem with health insurance in our country is the insurance companies, but you can't say it because you would be labeled a socialist.

[Akin42]

One of the reasons I became a liberal was disgust of the fake interviews Conservatives were given during the Bush years. And you know what? it's even more disturbing to see it come from our side.

[DireStrike]

I think first of all, you're confusing liberals and democrats. You can't "become a liberal" based on the way party members act. You can change parties, you can believe that the party does not represent your ideals, but the actions of representatives really have nothing to do with what ideology you hold.

Secondly, what do you think about this interview is fake?
