  • Ron Paul 2012

    NO OBAMA/Bush 

  • ROFLMAO 2 these jackwads in this video.......wonder if they still are licking Obamas sack after the last year or so?

  • How's that positive message working out for you?? ROTFLMAO as libs eat crow!

  • What a lot of fluff!!!! Must be an ad for the NEA

  • Turk, doesn't this make you look silly?

    How does it feel to be suckered after two years of Oblablas lies and deceit?

    You look like a fool

  • he's for the middle class?

    HAHAHAHAHAHA LIBERALS ARE FUCKING IDIOTS!

    Are you so quick to forget that 0bama EXTENDED

    Bush Tax cuts...

    .....look for them to be made permanent with a weak pres like him around.

    in 2012 ...at this rate from the last 3 yrs. anyone else would be better than having B0 in office

  • Looking back they really did believe in "change"! The hype was hard to look past wasn't it. And yes @catrapesdog99, they sucked his dick very hard.

  • can these people suck obamas dick any harder ?

  • Keep drinking the koolaid ......baracks a joke,,,,worse than carter!!,,,Bye the way Cenk,,,,get real you are garbage!!!

  • Uh are you guys on Antipsychotics!

  • democrats - the reason we are in this mess to begin with. republicans may suck it, but republicans didn't swallow hook, line and sinker like the democrats.

  • Wonder if he's for the "savior" now???????????

  • KOOLAID!

  • and they let these morons on. Especially the moron that took olberdorks place. You got to be kidding me

  • This is ridiculous, an unofficial person trying to make sense of Barack. Nothing will explain putting up 10 more trillion dollars in debt! But the positive part is... oh wait there isn't.

  • and.....how do you feel about what he said 2 years ago now?

  • Obama indeed seems to be offering a people's government solution to all human problems. He is, after all, running for President of the United States, not for a pulpit. Substituting the state for God as provider has been the inherent common thread in all Marxist regimes.

    Obama's Politics of Collective Redemption

    By Kyle-Anne Shiver

  • LMAO @ the koolaid drinkers who buy the lies in this video. Are you people really that stupid to believe this BS?

  • I knew you would like it dick head, it shows your boy in all his glory. A truee fuck up of the get go, Cenk your right Obama is a failure.

  • Guess who paid for that 30 minute ad. Obama's megabillionaire and corporate sponsors!

  • the slogan should be:

    0sama hussein barrack: SUCKING ARAB COCK

  • He is for the middle class??? There will NOT be a middle class soon?

  • BULL * * * *

  • This is the great thing about documenting your thoughts on video, so you can go back to an old tape to see what an idiot you are.

  • How's Obomba looking now? He is either totally CLUELESS or The REAL "MANCHURIAN CANIDATE."

    Ok Progressive Liberal morons; which of the two is Obomba?????

  • Looking back now, it's unbelievable how hypnotized the nation was by this guy. It's sad, really. If you truly want to hear a positive message and begin to become the change we all hope for, then please ignore whatever predispositions you might have and listen to this man:

    youtube.com/watch?v=FG2PUZoukf­A

  • LOL....I thought I had stepped into the twilight zone after listening to this guy for about one minute but then I realized he was a very realistic puppet being manipulated by Obama. There are some great videos showing ventriloquists using humans as their puppets on YouTube.

  • You guys are completely blind. Not one speech of this characters' has had any substance. He is not looking out for you or me, or any AMERICANS. "Look what happened over the last 8-years, let me give you an alternative." Really? Things looking much different to you guys? They actually look worse by far. Wake up sheep.

  • Now that time has passed and you are slapped back to Reality instead of PROPAGANDOUS SLOGANS by a Puppet Press.

    How Much do the Rinos, Libyarals and BRACK SUCK?

    Who's Side is he on?

    ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN YOU WERE in 2006 when Libyarals took over?

    Yes he was smart enought to FOOL MORONS LIKE YOU!!

    REPUBLIC RISING - SLAVERY DEMOCRACY DEMISING

    RepublicForTheunitedStates. org

  • YES HE IS on YOUR SIDE but not ON MINE or AMERICA'S.

    Libyarals got us stuck with Obamugabee who quotes from the "HOLY QURAN" but Ridicules the Bible.

    REPUBLIC RISING - SLAVERY DEMOCRACY DEMISING.

    Yes he is on YOUR SIDE - you can KEEP HIM.

    HOBAMA SUCKS!!

  • wow can we show this back to cenk and show him that Obama is a puppet?

  • Saw that this was posted on 10/29/08. Now my question is looking back on the comments made, how do you feel?? I have a big oven and can bake some eat my words pie for ya.

  • "he's on our side." Uhhh.. He's on the side of GE and Unions... who rape the poor and contribute to Obama. How much in taxes did GE pay? NOT 1.3 trillion... that's for sure. Good thing Obama has GE mouth pice on Economic panel... huh? Idiots4Obama.

  • obama's real ad: 4 more years of arab cock deep throating... 5 more wars, 700 trillion deficits, 50% more unemployment, golfing, failing, class warfare, riding magical invisible unicorns to never neverland, liberal fleebagging, & communism

  • Obama = PURE DECEPTION

  • Greatest Asian women **busizz4me.info**

  • Republican and Democrat are the same thing. They attend the same secret meetings. A two party system is too easy to co-opt.

  • Wow...so when does it all begin...............oh, he's been president?!

    Then y r ppl still juggling his nutts when he's done NOTHING!!

    Oh yea, it's Bushs fault...sigh

  • Rewatching these old videos, I gotta say Cenk and Anna might be embarrassed now.

  • too bad the reality is not a 30 minute commercial...

  • Hah, if Obama really cared about the poor, you would think he would start out by helping his own family. He has a brother that lives off 20 bucks a year in a 6 by 9 foot hut, and an aunt who lives in public housing. What a freakin hypocrite. Kind of like Bill Clinton's niece who lived off food stamps. These guys need to get their own house in order before telling us how to run our lives.

  • Obama commercials = HOPE

    Obama presidency = HYPOCRISY

    these guys are complete dumb asses. Protecting the rich! Just where do you think the middle and lower class get their money.

  • "I am my brothers keeper.... if that's okay with the Republicans"

    -- Democrat slogan

  • still love that ad.

  • Still proud of President Obama.  Good Luck to you sir.

  • watch the newer tyt videos haha. their support isn't unconditional, they just fell for the hype like everyone else

  • true, that's what happened. But that's kind of sad. I mean cenk is not supposed to be a sucker for that, he knows politics, how was that believable that some maverick from outside comes and rocks washington when he was a 100% establishment pick? He should have known.

  • They are skeptical of politicians, just watch their videos about obama today...

  • Comment removed

  • Here is a real analysis:

    Obama spent almost $5 million for a 30-minute political ad on numerous stations, and crushed the world record for campaign spending. What does it really mean? Obama purchased the presidency by utilizing the most overbearing blanket-propaganda since Hitler.

  • It's an interesting point to raise. But Obama was already in the lead before the ad had even aired. And you seem to be suggesting that the ad won him the campaign, I think we both know that there were much larger forces at work in America. Like the want for change, which he so inherently represents.

  • you lost and you're bitter, get over it and bow down to the pres!

  • I'll never respect a president who bows to other world leaders but won't even hold his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance on Veteran's Day.

  • this what we thought before he was elected

  • Thanks for posting. I am just reflecting on the positive energy that is needed to keep America on top. All of the ugly negativeness from the Right is really draining and not contributing any realistic solutions.

    Peace

  • You think that guy would suck obamas dick?

  • Listen SuperSucker88(69), stop fantasizing and post some real commentary.

  • 30 min ad, speaking for all my fellow african americans. If I had a chance to be Pres I'd spend all the money in the world.

  • Of course you would, and that is why you will never be president, or amount to anything for that matter.

  • Wow what a Conservative statement. Not amount to anything, I'm already a professional artist at 20. A young age for that industry, why would a want a shit job like being President?

    Grow up kind, stop smoking drugs, fix that gay haircut and go to college and learn something.

    Your mama got one big titty and one little titty and in bed I called the bitch Biggie Smalls.

  • Conservative statement? lol, how is calling you a nobody conservative? Does everything have to be political?

    Anyway it's a good thing you went into professional artistry *cough* bullshit *cough* at least in that profession there is little thinking required, which is a load you do not need.

  • I'm calling u conservative because u have that attitude. Art does take a lot of thinking, learn to think. Cars, Building, ships, planes, all were drawn by artists. Unless u can do great art you don't know what your talking about.

    If u don't want anything to be political don't come watch political videos and comment.

  • What the FUCK are you on?

  • Mindless praising of obama by a mindless democrat. Well at least it's not as irritating as his mindless slander of republicans, which is what the majority of his propaganda collection consists of.

  • If he's mindlessly slandering republicans how come he's trying to work with them? God, I laugh at libs and conservs at the dumb statements I hear and read.

  • He might of promised to work with republicans, but since he took office, he has been the most fiscally liberal president since Jimmy Carter. All of his plans preceding the health care reform passed by sheer brute numbers in Congress. Nothing republicans said mattered against their majority.

    The only reason health care reform hasn't passed yet is because members of his own party, the so-called Blue-Dog democrats who actually understand economics, realized that this is not something to be rushed.

  • How do you think the Democrats got a majority? They were voted in. So (theoretically but obvioulsy it's not fool proof), these bills are ones that the American people agree with.

    And the Blue Dogs are only delaying the bill because they know that if they delay it long enough then it won't get passed at all. They're doing this because they're all paid by the drug and health insurance companies.

  • By this logic though, people also voted AGAINST healthcare reform if they voted for the "Blue Dog" democrats who oppose it, regardless of their reasons for their opposition.

    A much more accurate measure of voter's opinions on individual issues is a poll that asks them just that. As of August 15, 2009, 35% of likely voters favor passing the current healthcare reform legislation, while 54% would prefer no passage of healthcare reform this year.

  • Man, I love the commercial...and ofcourse Cenk makes, as always...an excellent analysis of it.

  • Are you guys serious??? When was this video put out??? search ENDGAME movie by alex jones, just watch it.

  • This video is on point, Yall need to check on this new independent artist named Vthov. Search "Vthov Obama Inauguration Song" and youll see what I mean. Fiyah.

  • surely to really win completely, you have to please everyone. Sure he help out the poor middle class but the upper class will try to burry him if he makes any tiny mistakes. Afterward his run for office, they probly hang him really high. I wouldn't be surprised. he have to play that game really well to please both but still uphold integrity to many people who is in need. upper class might be few in numbers but they hold the power equal to or greater than the lower classes. hope hes like ron paul

  • masculine masculine masculine  masculine masculine

  • masculine

  • 1. Obama told us what Nancy Reagan thinks.

    2. Obama called himself a 'mutt'

    3. The stock crash is on Bush's watch

    4. Obama said the 'consensus' of all that whatever needs to be done to stabilize the economy he will do.

    Fascinating how posters try to manipulate thungs.

  • on #3, obama himself said "we were asleep at the switch" he was also refering to himself as he was on the senate, so its true, the stock crash was under bush's watch, but lets not forget that both democratic controlled houses were also watching.

  • I was for Hillary and I'd still have been happy if she had won, but I am now a believer re: Obama and his vision for the future of America. He DOES care, which is something lacking in our President since ole "numbnuts" got in there and not seen since Clinton's Presidency.And chosing Hillary as Secretary of State would be an awesome statement, as she is revered in most countries. Anyone who hasn't, needs to watch her speech at the Women's Conference in Bejing.WOW.Don't sell Dems short this time.

  • Republicans - suck it

  • @jonathan2harris

    This Administration is the worst ever in US history. This guy can't even produce a real Birth Certificate! A British national most likely and a travesty for the very first black president.

  • The whole 30 minute commercial was bs

    obama more spending and bigger government

  • i am my brother's keeper

  • 8 years of Bush

  • I don't understand Americans who say they want Obama to fail or they can't wait for him to falter. He is now the president regardless of if you support him or not. So for at least the next four years, he will shape the country. You would think that people living in the country would want the leader to do well so the citizens will do well, instead of wanting him to fail so the citizens will follow!?!?!

  • kaazim: Anyone who saw through his pandering during the campaign knows what his plans are for this country. It has nothing to do with what I want him to do. I can't will him into not being a socialist. I will not be disrespectful to him as people have been to Bush and call him a terrorist, but I will not sit back and think happy thoughts while he runs our economy into the toilet.

    I don't want him to fail as a president. That is on him, and no one else.

  • He isn't even officially the president yet and he is already getting blamed for running the economy into the toilet.

    * years of G Bush had nothing to do with the current state of the economy, but not even one day of Obama and the economy is in the toilet!!!

    Gotta love the pessimists!

  • kaazim: I never said he is running the economy into the toilet (yet), and I didn't say Bush wasn't to blame for anything. Gotta love the knee-jerk Obamamaniacs.

    If Obama institutes his socialist policies the American Economy will suffer. And the world economy will also suffer as a result. It is inevitable. it has nothing to do with optimism or pessimism.

    The stock drop yesterday was a clear reflection of how many people are concerned. Open your eyes. CHANGE is coming, indeed.

  • Socialist politics? What do you call cutting the taxes to the rich worth a trillion? or shoulder another trillion or two of the cost of medicines for the elderly? Or allowing the oil companies to make tens of billions off the American people? And how about Haliburton's embezzling? All Obama has to do is undo Bush's work and the country will recover virtually by itself.

    Socialist...Call him that when he nationalices the banks and the oil industry. Not before.

  • His tax plans are pretty solid, with many economists, even notoriously conservative ones, supporting him. And the stock drop was not a reaction to Obama, but to the news that 200,000 jobs were lost in October, and it is expected that many more will be cut through the rest of the year. Most people on wall street aren't too worried about Obama or Mccain.

  • cawheeler: Pretty solid?! Between him and Biden they changed the income cutoff figure on their middle class cut a half a dozen times! They still haven't specified who will be affected by their health care fine for employers. And if 'most people on wall street aren't too worried', as you so eloquently (and optimistically) put it, why did CEOs prefer McCain 4 to 1 over Obama (per CEO magazine)?

    Time will tell... Obama has some huge shoes to fill that he made for himself during his campaign.

  • If Obama institutes his socialist policies the American Economy will suffer.....buddy wake up, the American economy is already suffering along with the world economy. Worst since the great depression and who is in the White house presiding when it happened? Not Obama.

    So would you rather the same status quo policies?

    You worry about Obama and Biden...would McCain and PALIN (Palin who thinks Africa is a country) have been a better option?

    PALIN as VP...wow...that would have been scary!!

  • kaazim: "buddy wake up, the American economy is already suffering along with the world economy". Wow, there's a great defense. Why worry about the economy, it's already broken.

    News flash: The economic crisis has had VERY little to do with Bush. Bill Clinton even agrees that Congressional Democrats are to Blame. Also it's notable that Obama is the #2 recipient of proceeds from the Fannie Mae crash. I realize life is simpler when you can just Blame Bush for everything, but come on...

  • Bill Clinton's policies has much to do with it, so sure, he's going to deflect. W is an asshole. Stop sticking up for him.

  • marco: I'm not sticking up for W, I'm sticking up for reality. Stop jumping on the bash bush wagon and think for yourself. It's very clear who is most responsible for the financial crisis, and like him or not, it's not Bush.

  • GO Obama he is our president now and their is nothing u obama haters can do bout it u guys say i cant wait 4 obama to screw up i say that i cant wait 4 obama to make this country a better place..GO Obamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • Obama promised the world...Now, you can keep waiting until he proves to fail in delivering the goods at every single step.

    Hail Chairman Hussein !!

  • I understand the wound is fresh and it hurts... but in times, you'll learn to live with a democratic majority. The GOP has a long way to go... Gaining back all those members is gonna be difficult... Giving that most young people nowadays are either democrats or independents, the GOP is in serious trouble... The majority of loyal republicans are in their 60's and dying... every time I hear republican, I think of Bush.... now that's not something people forget easily...that's unfortunate!

  • beenn15:  This is a center-right country. Not an independant-republican country. Republicans have completely abandoned their fundamentals.

    Conservatism transcends party. There is not just a democratic majority, there is a Liberal disease running rampant in Congress. And now it has spread to the White House. We will NOT "learn to live" with anything. America will buck these uber Liberal politians. It's just a matter of time. Look at congress's approval ratings. Pelosi is a disgrace.

  • beenn15, As the great Lee Atwater said, "never kick a man while he is standing up." We have a lot of time to see your guy down. I'm a young republican. The majority sets the norm for nothing. Sooner or later, they are going to turn to us.

  • Ok folks here we go... 3 words:

    MASSIVE COLLECTIVE DISILLUSIONMENT.

    I give Obama 6 months before he makes a complete fool of himself and all of his mindless followers. I think deep down I was hoping he would win, just so I could watch all you Libs squirm and grasp for an explanation every time he does something stupid.

    Happy 'sticking with them' libs! Hope you enjoy your own medicine.

    Oh, BTW, see how the Dow took a nosedive yesterday? Interesting eh? Biggest post election drop. Hrm. ; )

  • Socialism is not as bad as people say fundamentally, Socialism and communism are positive. Like almost anything created, Humans can used it for either positive effect or negative effect.

  • Democrats aren't communist/socialist. That is a weak argument. However, as Blessed stated, these governmental concepts are pretty positive, only reason why they haven't work is because of the dictators of the nation are greedy. This is like supply-side economics, considering that it is the "hope" that tax cuts for companies will result in more jobs, thus giving too much power for people to screw everyone else over.

  • Obama has the endorsement of the Communist Party USA. Obama has openly campaigned for self-described socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders.

    In 1996, he won an Illinois state senate seat on a "fusion" ticket of the Democratic Party and a Socialist group called the "New Party."

    Throughout his career, Obama has worked closely with a network of stone-cold socialists and full-blown communists striving for "economic justice (a euphemism for socialism)."

  • Obama voted against the WAR in Iraq to fight the terrorist. DUH! The terrorist don't want Obama to become President cause once he gets in, they are going to get hit hard. Anyone who voted for Bush loves the terrorist with all of their heart, since Buch let Osama get away and you know it, yet you still voted for the retard! I voted for Bush first time but the second time I didn't let him fool me. McCain and Bush are the same.

  • You r so far out of touch it hardly dignifies a response. But for the sake of your ignorance, Obama is the one that talks about stopping the war and instead sitting down with foreign terrorist leaders.Why do you think 50% of America is against Obama, but 80% of foreign governments are FOR him? Iran Germany Russia. they have all endorsed Obama. Where have you been? Wake up. You may not want to admit it and u may hate Bush etc. etc. blah blah. But the facts that I have stated are just that. FACTS.

  • Come on do you mean that Iran, Germany and Russia are terrorists?

    Everyone likes Obama because Mccain sucks.

  • Well, we all know that Russia is trouble waiting to happen. Your argument is infantile. If IRAN endorses and American candidate, I run the other way. You'd be smart to do the same. Think about it. Really. Whether you like him or not. Really think about that fact.

  • No you see, that's the attitude thats the problem with you americans. Not all people in Iran are terrorists, not even remotely close to one percent of the population in Iran are religious fundamentalists.

    THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS JUST AS YOU AND ME, OR AT LEAST ME.

  • Thats why countries other countries get bombed more than the US. Yes we get caught slipping at times, but WE recognize the threat. No1 said ALL PEOPLE IN IRAN ARE TERRORISTS. Maybe you should learn to read before you comment. The LEADER of Iran has said that America is an enemy as well as any1 that calls Israel an ally or friend. That would probly include your country. IDIOT. 1st wake up, second learn to read properly & don't put words in ppl's mouths, 3rd, get educated on world events.

  • P.S. I have an Iranian friend here in the US. We're getting quite off subject, but just as an FYI.

    The main point? Iran's leader says America and any allies of Israel are an enemy, but yet he endorses Obama. Those are the simple facts. That's all my original post was saying

  • This is ignorant. Foreign nations typically like democrats more simply because they use the "I have a big stick" like conservatives. The liberal policy is first diplomatic, then if necessary go to war. Essentially, the argument is that because we all live in the world, we should at least be cordial. And what do you define as "terrorist"? A religious group, nationality, or ethnicity doesn't define terrorism, so I'm wondering what do you think it is.

  • If Biden believes the world is going to generate a crisis to test Obama, doesn't that clearly show that he believes the world knows Obama isn't a suitable leader for our country? Don't you Libs get it? Your VP candidate came out with a massive disclaimer, telling you to 'stick with them' because they are going to make choices you don't agree with. Aren't you concerned about being asked to overlook what you think and just 'stick with them'? If Palin said this you'd be outraged.

  • He's on our side.....right.Z.O.G. marches on.

  • watch?v=XBMdWxcFXQg

    Holy crap. Obama is an idiot.

    I love how people boo when he says John McCain has served his country honorably. He must be so proud of his following.

  • ur retarted

  • roughneck: Ok. Ur a Jeanius.

  • Hey dude! that was television. He IS a politican you know...

  • If Obama decriminalizes Marijuana... I will be happier than a pig in shit. I know it's not a big issue but over 150,000 non violent people are put in the can for selling a lil weed. I love weed. It helps everything. Look at the economy of Amsterdam. If there is one cash crop its weed.

  • BOOOOO!

    Republicans suck. You people did damage to America and by god come November 4th 2008, the Demorcrats will correct America. Vote for the Obama/Biden ticket. Ladies and Gentlemen, vote for the Obamalution!! Forget McSame, forgot Soccer Mom, it's time for some serious presidency. Barack Obama for President everyone!!!

  • its really smart to name yourselves after one of the most brutal poitical organizations who comited genocide. Maybe a bit more research should have bee done huh?

  • ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ over 卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐

    Hope over Fear

    Time for change Obama/Biden '08!

  • BTW, in case you haven't heard: Obama wants to bankrupt the fire powered Coal Industry. Where the hell has this been since January?!?! Your Liberal Slanted mainstream media at work folks:

    watch?v=Hdi4onAQBWQ

    For God's sake, we're (almost) all for lower emissions, but this is very radical. And this should have been circulated immediately after it was recorded.

  • I don't need the executive branch to look out for me, I have the constitution for that! Why is it you never hear either of the canidates or yourself talk about it.

  • Coco: But havent you heard?  Per the savior Barry Obama the constitution is fundamentally flawed.

    Oath of office of the president of the United States: "...to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

    Obama: "...the constitution reflect an enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on until this day"

    How, fellow Americans, did we allow this man to come so close to the presidency? How?

  • It is flawed.......2 more days thank god to victory

    By The Way...Bush sure preserved the Constitution didnt he

  • televin: Either you defend it or you don't. If you don't defend it it shouldn't matter if Bush preserved it.

    You say Bush didn't preserve it. Fine, so he didn't. 2 wrongs don't make a right. Obamamaniacs have a severe case of "he hit me first". If Bush was wrong, Obama is wrong.

    What team are you on?

  • You do know that Afghanistan is where the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden are at, right? And Bush said he wasn't "spending much time on" finding him? And that he disbanded the FBI unit that was chasing down Osama?

  • no one is saying bush did. Just because people don't like Obama doesn't mean they are republican or like bush. Thats where all Obama and dem. zombies are wrong. All they see is black and white dem. good rep. bad. Unfortunatley it's a little more complicated than that. Do yourself a favor and listen to all the third party canidates, I'm willing to bet your going to agree with a couple of their policies, you might even start understanding that the system is fundimentally flawed.

  • This coming from a so-called president who suspended the right to an attorney? Do you even understand the Constitution enough to argue your point?

  • John: I don't think you understand my point. If you agree that the constitution should be upheld and you argue that Bush didn't, how does that make Obama's disdain for the Constitution any less significant?

    I understand that the constitution was a document that was written in large part to limit the powers of the Government, and that flies in the face of Obama's fundamental views for the role the Government should play in America's lives; if you can see through his slick Obamaspeak.

  • Uh, and Palin's belief that the Vice President is "in charge" of the Senate doesn't worry you?  For a constitutional defender, you seem to have your wires crossed. I think i know your angle -- probably sore about gun control. Though you could say that Libel lawsuits limit free speech too. But you have to remember it's congress that makes the laws, not the president.

  • JohnBach: Considering she was simplifying it to explain it to a third grader, no. Not at all.

    I don't own a gun. But I think people kill people, not guns. And clearly bans do nothing to limit gun crimes, and I think they effectively create an environment where a criminal knows they don't have to worry about someone being able to defend themselves.

  • you guys have drank the kool-aid ...

  • mccain/plain kool-aid will make you you sick. It's laced with hidden agendas and fake smiles that look painful. They would never come into my home and have dinner to talk about the issues.. But Obama did have a dinner for anyone in texas that wanted to come could. Cost nothing....you just had to sign up. Mccain would or could never do that I am not apart of his salary min.only making 95,000.00 not enough for him to start his private JET. Obama is for every person that calls this nation home.

  • wolf: Wow, he bought dinner? Where do I sign up? Lol. Too bad he wasn't feeling so charitable the last 3 years, he contributed 3% of his salary to charity. McCain gave about 25%. I find it a little more impressive when someone gives not because they're running for president but because they actually care about other people. I guess I'm just brainwashed. hehehe

  • I already explained why you're wrong AND I used the right adjective to describe you.

    The last 8 years have completely disproven the failed conservative ideology of trickle down economics (massive tax cuts for the rich and corporations coupled with deregulation). Here's another fun fact per McClatchy Newspapers: 84% of subprime loans came from PRIVATE lenders. So stop blaming the Dems and "low income loans" for this financial mess. 16% of the bad loans clearly were not the issue. Facts hurt.

  • Encylopeteia: Nice.

    Well I've found the study you're referencing and also found that there is a ton of criticism linked to it due to how misleading it is.

    80% of the corporations that don't pay taxes don't pay them because they post a net loss. Also, only certain types of corporations pay corporate taxes. The ones that don't pay other types of taxes, such as excise and use taxes.

    Fanny and freddie purchased 44% of the subprime securities between 1995 and 2004. Did you know that?

  • I've listed my sources BOTH times. You? Not once. I give NON-partisan sources. The "criticism" and "facts" that you're referring to come straight from conservative think tanks like the Heritage foundation, or papers like the Washington Times, etc.

    Sorry, but that doesn't count. I've said my piece and unlike you I don't have time to write 100 youtube comments every day. My advice is that going forward, you list non-partisan sources and give more facts, not just opinion. Good luck and goodbye!

  • Encyclopetia: Thanks for the pointers. My advice to you, if you want to be taken seriously, is to place as much focus on the maturity of your tone as you do the non-partisan nature of your sources. You're not going to convince anyone to agree with you by being belligerent. You just get on peoples nerves.

  • Encyclopeteia: FYI - Idiot is a noun, not an adjective. Genius.

    Perhaps you should change your name to 'Dictionarie'? ; )

    I figure having an opinion probably qualifies me less as an idiot than someone that doesn't know the basic parts of speech but, hey, who's keeping score?

  • I schooled you with non-partisan sources and facts so I understand you had to come back by pointing out an honest mistake. Playing the role of the grammar police doesn't make your unsupported claims (and biased sources) any more substantive. Nor does it wipe out the last 8 years of failed conservative ideology, (the same failed ideology that created the

    S & L debacle in the 80's).

    Nice try. All right, that's it. Again, goodbye, and better luck next time.

  • Encyclopeteia: BTW, the 'non-partisan' study you keep referencing was commissioned by two democratic senators. I find that kinda ironic.

    Way to dodge the silliness of your 'correct adjective' comment by calling me the grammar police. That was cute. I guess when you get caught up in it suddenly we need to get serious about things.

    You say goodbye, and I say hello. Is this Barack's "get in their faces" methodology? Call me an idiot then repeatedly say goodbye?

  • This "joelseph98" is SUCH an idiot (and he's got WAY too much time on his hands leaving 100comments BTW). He keeps talking about Obama's tax plan killing jobs. That is his OPINION. I gave him the FACT that per the NON-Partisan GAO, 2/3 of US corporations paid NO TAXES from 1998-2005. Yet we outsourced a record number of jobs over that period, and I didn't notice the cost of goods and services decreasing.

    Corporations do NOT pay high taxes here and cutting taxes does NOT reduce our costs.

  • Encyclopeteia: Can you debate someone without calling them an idiot? Of course it is my opinion. So, if you are correct, and 2/3 corporations don't pay taxes, where is the added revenue from the hikes going to come from to offset the job losses that small to mid sizes business take? The ones that don't pay taxes still won't, right? The ones that do take the hit and some WILL lay off employees.

    If I'm wrong, explain why. Don't resort use schoolyard names and belligerance. Are you an adult?

  • We are spending a whole heck of a lot of money each day on a war we don't need to be in and that we got into based on lies. Why is it so difficult to imagine that that same amount of money spent each day on the social and economic ills of this country would not be in EVERYONE'S best interest? This was a wonderfully produced piece. It showed the best of America and the piece showed that we need to become more concerned about others. It was that concern that made America great in the first place.

  • I'm glad I wasn't the only person with that sentiment about that quote. When I heard it, it really resonated with me. Along with the fact that I said the exact same thing after watching; 'I feel like I just watched a good movie' hehe
