Meet The Press: Tom Brokaw Nails McCain For Misrepresenting Obama's Tax Plan

[mrkareem1975]

homer simpson "ddogghh!!

[disndat11]

My Friend, please die!

[MrRayumali]

crusty old fart.

[ChurchillTea]

The issue was not whether or not he was a terrorist, but about his judgement and choice of friends to hang out with. They called his friend -Bill Ayers- a terrorist....and he is not sorry. You can search the web on this guy and find out his past..forget President Obama...just check on this guy. If Mccain HAD called him terrorist....it would have been ALL OVER the tv and we would have SEEN the footage. We NEVER did, because McCain never called him a terrorist.

[klizzard359]

wait did he say "Joe the Biden" at :58?

[radudeATL]

He thinks he's so witty. Guess who got the last laugh...

[klizzard359]

makes you wonder what he's REALLY drinking from that cup :-O

[KCahill7]

You know GOP knew they going to lose. They started throwing hate slander agianst Obama to get the racist vote. To bad they didn't know that New England, West Coast, and Florida are smarter than that.

[ChurchillTea]

You can't possibly believe this. I'm sorry but the Bush Administration was one of teh most diverse administrations; two african-american Secs. of State, a hispanic Att. Gen., Condi Rice-NSA, Sec. of Education, Sec of Transportation Norm Mineta, etc, etc. Also, one of Mccain's daughters was adopted...and she doesn't look Anglo-Saxon to me. He is also for helping illigal aliens. You can't be serious.

[KCahill7]

The GOP and the Bush Administration are not the same. GOP used the "terrorist" slander for months. As well as Palin DID NOT SAY A THING when a crowd member screamed "Obama is a ni**er!".

[spock8585]

McCain/Palin offered nothing except hate and lies and that is why they lost.Even when caught in a lie, McCain keeps spouting more lies.

[ChurchillTea]

....and obama didn't lie?? Tom Brokaw caught him lying about smoking!

[spock8585]

Bush lied about the war, but stop the presses Obama lied about smoking. lol

Palin lied about the bridge to no where and spent millions to gravel 3 miles of road to the bridge to no where.

[redhead761]

Yeah! And 4000 soldiers died because Obama puffed! Church, are you KIDDING me?

[MsDreama25]

Did you hear @ 0:54-0:55 he said "Joe the Biden"? LOL

He's got Joe the Plumber on the brain.

[dilaniw]

lol, i just realized that. wow. well mccain did say that joe the plumber was his idol....

[Gustav5000]

Greetings Palin voters! Sorry you lost by a landslide to a scary Communist! No more fast food restaurants just beansprouts! And horrible beansprouts not the good kind! We will give you $50 bounty for every severed foreleg of a republican! There is no God! Ha ha! We take all your paychecks too! Ha ha! All for taxes go to poor Americans so they can stay high on drugs all the time! Ha ha! You lose! We will steal your wives! Ha ha ha!

[Prettynikki815]

You are obviously jaded, misinformed, and ignorant; shut the fuck up.

[Prettynikki815]

My comment was to Mr. Gustav :o) Just to clear that up

[dragonlancet]

Mccain is no maverick. He is a tap dancer and a sidekick. Play any tune, he will dance. No clue, no idea, no aim.

[jdctaurus5000]

Sarah Palin has more experience then recognized. Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system. She is Commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force. (ASDF)Witch is a fed. recognized militia incorporated into homeland security's counterterrorism plans.

What about Obama's aunt living in the U.S. Illegally. She was the half/sister of father. Obama kept in touch witch her and claimed he didnt know she was here Illegally.

[jdempsey84]

Don't forget her PTA experience! Jesus.

A prime example of McShame's campaign tactics. Make vague assertions about the candidate in question, and change the subject with bullshit because when it comes to the ISSUES John the Loser just can't compete. He's been on record saying "If we wanna win we gotta change the subject!"

But vote McLame anyway, because we could use 4 more years of amazingly funny political comedy that you just couldn't write. If the McSame camp is any indication so far anyway

[ginamarie214]

250,000

200,000

150,000

120,000

What will it be on Jan 20th if Obama wins?

[tennstud81]

Job well done Brokaw

[nebaioth]

Barack will give a TAX CUT to 95% of Americans; that is, those who make less than a quarter of a million dollars: $250,000.00 - that number has not changed.

McCain is so desperate, he has resorted to doing what he does best...LYING!

[vidlivs]

It's down to $200,000 according to his infomercial, and "say what comes to my mind without thinking" Joe Biden has already widdled it down to $150,000. At the rate that they're flip flopping on the amount, it'll be only those under $42,000 that will get the tax cut by the time he is inaugarated. Obama's past record shows that he has always voted in favour of raising taxes on the middle working class who make more than 42K. Please consider his record and rethink your support for this scheister.

[PeruDallas74]

Ouch....turn in the towel McCain...its over Johnny, its over!

[debby429]

At 7:35, AMERICAN auto companies are addressed. McCain DOES NOT support additional aid that is desperately needed for operating expenses so the big 3 don't go under & AMERICANS lose their jobs. Preserving the AMERICAN BRAND is not important to him. The first "25 billion" is for re-designing and purchasing materials to build green cars. Additional aid is for operating expenses so they can reach the point of producing green cars. Big difference. McCainEconomics are BAD for American auto workers.

[PierreElliottTrudeau]

$250 for a family and $200K for an individual. McCain are you really as dumb as Palin?

[joeljohnwilliams999]

Did mccain just say "joe, the biden"?

[skiscool]

Awsome, I thought Palin was doing a lot of damage with her interviews. I think McCain has outdone her with this one. What a huge loser...

[skiscool]

I can't believe he thinks that government intervention is going to keep home prices from falling. I can't think of a more retarded economic idea than that. Home prices are going to be what the market pays, I don't care if you dump a trillion dollars into that hole, it's never going to make a difference. What a super douche....

[skiscool]

How did McCain get to be such a loser? I think he's just getting too old.

[105457]

Does he not feel stupid reciting 1929 policies to save the economy?

[thereallurker]

Thanks for nothing, John. We don't know why you left us with all this debt to the Chinese, but you and your other Washington Insiders did.

[cindyfromfalls]

this man is an idiot!!! neither he nor his running mate can answer a question honestly or other wise!

[witzkeyman]

McCain is a socialist

[MojoJuana]

this guy is got his old wrinklie head up his ass!!!

fuck him!

mcfullofshit/pitbullshit '08

[wldk38]

To little to late old man.

[kate4change]

vislivs- you and everyone else in America will do better under Obama's economic plan than John McCain. Think about it... were you better off financially under GW Bush or Bill Clinton? McCain/Bush = $9 Trillion deficit, Clinton/Obama= $559 Billion Surplus. Obama's tax plan, roll back the Bush tax policy and replace with Clinton tax cuts. You do the math. I'd rather have a surplus!

[kate4change]

vislivs- you and everyone else in America will do better under Obama's economic plan than John McCain. Think about it... were you better off financially under GW Bush or Bill Clinton? McCain/Bush = $9 Trillion deficit, Clinton/Obama= $559 Bullion Surplus. Obama's tax plan, roll back the Bush tax policy to the way it was under Clinton. You do the math. I'd rather have a surplus!

[kate4change]

McCain fails to realize that we can't fund two wars,get out of this debt and economic crisis without raising taxes 3% on the wealthiest.Obama's tax plan gives 3x more to middle class which will allow them to pay their bills, stay in their homes, create more consumer spending = more profit for business = more jobs for America. It is Economics 101 and McCain/Bush policies don't work. We've experimented for 8 yrs and they don't work. Reagan raised taxes on wealthy americans to balance the budget.

[tragicallyhiprule]

Michigan isn't having a hard time because taxes were raised moron, they are having a hard time because our genius automakers refused to change with the times of high gas prices and make a car someone would want to drive on a daily basis without going broke. Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Hyundai, Honda all whooped our asses and thats why Michigan's economy is going in the pooper because of stupidity at the big three automakers.

[Guernseyopman]

It's over republicans. What a bunch of whiners.

[IslamandFriends]

It seems like every time he says "my friend" it means he's about to lie.

[Ducky1987]

lol so true

[8370419]

quotes from 2002 and 2004? come on...these ARE different times, as mccain stated!! just as we aren't supposed to judge obama on things he has said and done several years ago. 2002-2004 everyone was thrilled to go out and spend, spend, spend. now we want to blame everyone else for all our spending.

[vidlivs]

Tom Brokaw and NBC news suck...totally bias garbage along with MSNBC and that other idiot Kieth Olbermann.

Olberman also knows shit about football. No wonder nobody watches that shitty network for anything.

[LilBola1]

pwned

[NOpalinNOmcBUSH]

did he call Joe Biden ''Joe the Biden'' ??? LMAO So Palin cant answer what brand of toilet paper she wipes her lying ass with.. and this guy looks like an ad for Alzheimers medicine.... Sad Party.

[GEOCACHINGJEFF]

I'd also like to see a Palin interview with Tom Brokaw on Meet the Press, he would rip her apart!!

[gmcjetpilot]

I would love that but it will never happen of course. That should be disqualifying right there (not that we need any other reason to come to the conclusion Barbi of the North is way out of her league).

[GEOCACHINGJEFF]

It seems like McCain's going up shit creek without a paddle, and his boat is quickly filling up with water and about to sink!! How out of touch can he be!!

[Doleafol]

Labeling Obama a "socialist" is McCain's latest desperate strategy. His attempt to label Obama a "terrorist" who pals around with Bill Ayers did not stick. So, McCain has to defend his latest accusation at all costs--even when, as evidenced in the clip, he must contract himself. McCain has no coherent vision. His campaign is about spreading fear and milking his biography (especially the POW card) for all it's worth.

[trojankev]

desperaterepublicans..... Uh, most people generaly capitalize America, and God when writing the words. You idiot!

[trojankev]

First, I wish the video uploader didnt over do the violin music. I find it somewhat distracting. Second, what a fucking tool McCain is. Cheese and rice!! Does he believe the shit coming out of his own mouth??

[kryminalll]

Man his BS reeks to high heaven. Too bad his base won't even see Meet the Press..lol

[RoboticHour]

why is he laughing and snickering so much?

watch McCain get owned from 0:00 to 9:04!

[desperaterepublicans]

McCain answers with eloquence and experience. Please save America and help vote McCain. Palin and McCain will rescue an america ruined by democrats. See my videos and comment. My god Biden is in his 60's. We don't need this.

[kryminalll]

WTF??????  LMAO.

[rakrobn]

Eloquent my ass. "Joe the Biden". You really are a desperate Republican. If you're worried about Biden being in his 60s, McCain is in his 70s!!!! By that logic I should definitely vote for the Democrat ticket.

[rakrobn]

For the love of God, he even calls Tom Brokaw, "my friend". McCain IT'S ANNOYING and sounds disingenuous.

[kryminalll]

He called Biden 'Joe the Biden'..lol

[alexandriaheather]

He even makes himself sick to his stomach

(Tom Cruise acting lessons kick in @ 3:51)

[kryminalll]

Yep his BS almost made him vomit

[jbrock2522]

And i was going to vote for this guy...but after hearing him talk out both side of his mouth...he can't be trusted with my vote!

[greenwalk7313]

Where I live, some McCain supporters changed the signs on their lawns from McCain to Obama. Wow!

[greenwalk7313]

Wow! McCain from the past, agrees with Obama : )

[quiIl]

You see Tom, *burp* when it benefits the masses, that's Communism. *belch* When it benefits the privileged few, that's capitalism and it's okay.

[frellthat]

Omg Obama wants to give 95% of Americans a tax cut. Isn't that COMMUNISM??!?

[vidlivs]

Especially when 40% of those 95% are actually not paying any tax to begin with. That means higher welfare checks for those, that's what that means, and guess who pays for that...EVERY WORKING PERSON, EVEN THOSE WHO NOW EARN WAY LESS THAN 200 GRAND.

[tragicallyhiprule]

40% of this country isn't paying taxes? What 40%? Tell me what 40% doesnt? I bet you the coorporate executives and CEOs were among those who weasled their way out of taxes. Get real, If you are saying 40% of this country doesn't pay taxes because they are on welfare then you are smoking crack. 40% of this country is not on Welfare if it is then we are in a financial crisis you are saying that 50% of this country lives in poverty.

[kate4change]

vidlivs- actually they do pay payroll taxes. You can't get a refund or tax cut if you don't pay taxes! The only welfare checks that are going out is McCain/Bush tax credits to the Big Oil and CEO who get $400 billion of our tax dollars so they can get richer! I think it is time that the hard working Americans get a chance to make it in this Country. I'm tired of the rich getting richer and the middle class getting poorer. I've never seen so much disparity in the history of this nation! Enough!!!

[vidlivs]

It's only going to get worse with an Obama administration because small businesses will be taxed to death because of all the social programs that need funding. This will cause further unemployment and will result in an even weaker middle-class, sending more masses below the poverty line and forcing thier dependance on the socialist welfare state. This is how socialism and communism work. They create a dependancy on government for their citizens, in order to supress their freedoms and liberty.

[jazeyedgirl]

he is so sad!

[striker1984]

Watch McCain choke on his own hypocrisy at 2:46.

[DoctorDoubleX]

pwned

zOBAMA FTW!

[imrananwar]

I have seen fewer non-answer-filled interviews than this. I can't believe anyone with a brain (or knowledge that this man took money and benefits from Charles Keating, helping cause the Savings & Loans scandal and crisis) would vote for him, much less stick the McCain-Palin flag in their front yard. I'd put one up just to help the dogs have a place to pee. LOL

[tklelmo21]

he amazes me everyday! i finally decided two people are voting for this guy..RICH people and STUPID people..Come on we can do way better than this wingnut!

[HotLeper]

With a country living way beyond it's means? Senator McCain, you mean like owning seven homes, numerous cars, wasting away money in gambling and expensive clothes for your wife and running mate. Is that what you mean?

[chefawkes]

technically, since he's a filthy millionaire, he is "living within his means".

[vidlivs]

He earned all his wealth, you jealous moron. He did not have it redistributed to him, the way you democrat liberal leftists want to scam money. Charity should be voluntary, not a government controlled beuracracy like all you socialist, marxist leninists want. Move to Cuba, or North Korea if you want that.

[JDubs878]

vidlivs, McShame MARRIED A BILLIONAIRE. Maybe he had money before marrying Cindy, but he got a TON more money after he married her.

Also how hypocritical is it that Obama studied hard and worked his way up from nothing to gain his wealth and now he's called an 'elitist'??

Last I heard, wasn't that called the AMERICAN DREAM?? To start from simple means and have the opportunity to work your way to wealth? Yet when Obama is living the American Dream, he's called elitist?? FUCKING GOP HYPOCRITES

[NOpalinNOmcBUSH]

Vote... VOte Early.. Vote Obama and get Skippy McFlip and his liar day nurse OUT OF HERE

[jlynwin]

He's worried about what % corp.pays in taxes? He can kiss my assets. I pay 35% tax now, as I'm the middle class that he going to breakdown further. I've read the tax proposals from both McCain and Obama from independent sources. I'm damn sure not voting for McGrampy.

[tclin1203]

i am a bush republican. voted for bush in 00 and 04, and i will be voting for Obama. The gall of the guy to call Obama socialist when he is proposing $300 billion social program.

[chefawkes]

glad u finally saw the light, but what in gods name makes a person vote for bush A SECOND TIME. the mind reels.

[tclin1203]

well, Iraq was not a certain failure and we didn't know as much as we did now. The idea was to let him finish what he started. While I'm a registered Republican, what Palin and McCain is doing is really making sick. i'm not voting party line again.

[NOpalinNOmcBUSH]

you're smart.

[vidlivs]

tclin1203, you're a loser if you're voting for Obama. McCain is not talking about an all out welfare plan like Obama. If you support Obama's welfare plan, you were likely never a Republican.

[tclin1203]

which welfare plan are you talking about? Are you talking the $700 billion bailout of banks by a Republican sitting president. That is one big welfare. I listened to Rush Limbaugh for 8 years and gave his books to people for Christmas. I am a true believer in less regulation, less government, less taxes, and let the free market take care of itself. You know, like the whole CDS and subpriem thing. Yeah, I'm a Republican in doubt of free market.

[kate4change]

vidlivs- I respect your opinion. As a small business owner, I make less than $250K and I'll get 3x more tax cuts & credits under Obama. Plus, my customers are middle class & when they have money, I make money & my business profits. Now, my busniess is hurting because my middle class customers don't have money. I respectfully disagree with the notion that giving more tax cuts to the wealthy will make the middle class prosper. It is just not true. We tried Bush's tax cuts and only the rich win.

[vidlivs]

kate4change-Obama is already flipping on the $250K number. He said 200K on one rally and his sidekick Biden has now said 150K. This is why I'm suspicious of Obama and all his utopian promises. I cannot see how he will fulfill those promises by not reneging on his tax cuts once he is in office. I also despise his social policies, they are EXTREMELY left-leaning and socialist and will take America to a radical road that looks good from the outside, but will strip away your rights and freedom.

[lindlk]

vidlivs- again,you get a tax cut if you make less than $200K. If you make between $200K-$250K, your tax cuts remain as they are now. If you make more than $250K, your tax increases 3% as they were under Clinton. Biden was wrong about 150K, he probably meant 250k. Go to the Obama website, there is a tax calculator that tells you what you get under Obama. As far as socialism, since Roosevelt,we've always had a progressive tax system where weathier pay higher taxes.

[lindlk]

vidlivs- I think it is important to tell you the facts. Sarah Palin is more socialist than anyone. She gave oil royalty dividend checks to everyone in Alaska a check for $1654 in 2007. How is that not socialism when she encourages 'spreading the wealth' to everyone? Palin says:"We share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs," she was quoted as saying in a recent New Yorker article. "It's to maximize benefits for Alaskans, not an individual company."

[vidlivs]

They want to change the bill of rights and take away some of the freedoms that have made America, a truly great and unique nation. I know Bush was a bad President and mislead the American people and lost control of spending. But the Democrats are whacked for getting a radical like Obama to run for them. This man hates America and has aligned himself with people who've hated and still continue to hate America.

[jdempsey84]

Are you kidding?! How does Obama "hate America" and how exactly has he aligned himself with people who hate america? How about PALIN AND HER HUSBAND being directly associated with the Alaskan secessionists? The leader of which said himself that he "Has no use for America or her backwards laws" and that he'll "never be buried under that damn flag" and that he's an "Alaskan, not an american"

You, sir, are an idiot, and I hope you don't vote on November 4th. For the sake of the world.

[vidlivs]

"How does Obama hate America"? Are you serious, Rev Wright says "God damn America", Bill Ayres says he wish he did more terrorist acts. Obama is known for his unwillingness to respect uniformed officers, be it in the military or even the police. Obama does not wear an American flag pin, and refuses to salute during the anthem, and you ask how OBAMA shows his hate for America. Maybe if you'd shut up and learn to read, instead of watching TV. You'd realize this. It's only you that will suffer.

[jdempsey84]

Counterpoints:

G. Gordon Liddy and McCain. Period. Fuck off with the Ayers nonsense.

There have been many occasions where McCain and others haven't worn the pin or happened to be photographed while not saluting. Stop being so concerned with arcane minutia that is nothing more than symbolism. A pin won't stop wars. A salute won't fix the economy. It says something about YOUR candidate when all he can do is personally attack Obama. No matter though, Obama won, so suck it! hahahaha

[vidlivs]

I know McCain is a Republican, but Obama also supported and initially voted to go into Iraq. He has also supported the Wall Street bailout along with McCain. McCain has an honest and true record of compromising with the Democrats during his history in the Senate. Obama has never made a decision in his life and is an uncompromising radical left-leaning politician, who has never compromised with any Republicans, but has shown more empathy with past domestic terrorists and with foreign terrorists.

[miarrem]

Vidlivs: Did you know that McCain has links with satan worshippers. It was in the news. Oh...and he's a Christian!  He also subscribes to neo conservative values and will tax the poor while wealthy people don't pay a cent - look it up. Oh, and you know his name...scottish independence terrorists...Know your facts!

[vidlivs]

This is absolute garbage. You sound like the type of white trash WASP that's voting for Obama because you have a warped sense of history. Maybe you deserve to have Obama as your president, so that he can screw you and everybody who spreads lies like you, up the ass.

Just the fact that so many Americans are even considering to vote for this communist is a sign that America is finished. America will be sending more money to the UN and rich kings in Africa while ignoring the poor at home. WATCH

[jdempsey84]

Psh. White trash? Look who's talking. But it doesn't matter anyway, because OBAMA WON!!! So.... Ahem.... SUCK IT!!!

ahahahahahahahahaha

Awesome.

[carlyonbeachfire]

BURNED!

[lindlk]

vidlivs- I'm not sure where you get your info, it is all false.FACTS:Obama voted against the Iraq war and was very vocal about his opposition to it.Obama worked with Dick Lugar, Republican to pass a bill to keep nukes out of the hands of terrorists.Obama spearheaded a bill & worked with Republicans to pass a huge ethics reform law that kept lobbyists from giving gifts to politicians.Obama voted for FISA bill. Obama worked with Republicans to pass bill to put gov spending online for transparency.

[vidlivs]

Obama also agreed to cap public funds but reneged on that AS USUAL. JUST LIKE HE WILL RENEGE ON ALL HIS TAX BREAKS IF HE BECOMES PRESIDENT. Then will see all you fools who voted for him, cringe and cry when he wants to revamp the constitution taking away the amendents that guarantee you freedom of speech, freedom of the press and of course freedom to bear arms. It will attempt to replicate Russia in 1919, if the Democrats control the house, and the Senate with an Obama presidency. YOU WATCH.

[jdempsey84]

Oh well :) He won. Suck it!

[vidlivs]

jdempsey84, you're a 20 year old Canadian who knows shit about life, so I recommend you suck it.

I'll save my haha laughter for a few years from now, when queers like you complain why Obama has not made a difference and that he is like the rest of them politicians.

Money wins elections, it was true with Bush, and it has proven true with Obama. When the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010, they won't be renewed by the Dems, then will see how much better off the middle class will be...STAY TUNED.

[jdempsey84]

Lmao. I love that your only argument is to make inferences about my sexual preference and life knowledge from my age and location. Spoken like a truly ignorant prick! Kudos for that. That breed and strength of ignorance and stupidity is quite rare these days!

[vidlivs]

It's not rare at all, you liberal fuckheads do it all the time and suggest that it's OK, but then complain when the shoe is on the other foot.

Was it I, who said that midwest Americans clings to their religion and guns,,,nooooo, that was you're fuck'n hero Obama. The only difference is that I'm probably more precise than he is. You are probably a guy 20 yr old gay white male who attends University and drinks up all the leftist shit that's spewed at most schools. THINK FOR YOURSELF LOSER!!!!

[kalabacha]

I bet Obama campaign plays this video's in next week adds in the battle ground state.

First he uses "Joe the Biden" hypocritically.

Later when his see his real picture how he changes his tone, moves of body language: shrugging shoulder's, pill rolling pen in his hands, smacking lips, belching and trying to talk hahahah

[anotherday24]

he makes my skin crawl.

[stme2008]

mccain only Lies cant beleive republicans vote for liers so much first you where for bush cuts and voted against the bush tax cuts to rich and now you say obama who agees with you is wrong wich is it mcain so untruthfull wont do what you say if you win a flip flops afganistan flip flops abortion flip flops regulations the most abscent senator in hitory you dont show to vote i am republican voted for obama
