  • Move on may have put Obama in power but neither are trustworthy, don't trust Obama nor Move on. It's time to move on from both of them.

  • I thought move-on was a nonpartisan group? Just like Acorn right? Am I wrong? When will you guys get it. Obama is just a puppet. He is being told what to do by the people who are really in control. Our real last President was JFK and he was killed for it.

  • MOVE-ON THREW THE MOVEMENT UNDER THE BUS- Why do we hear nothing about the continued wars in Iraq from MoveOn? They were talking about healthcare on their site today. I lost all respect for them.

  • This GUY just fooled a lot of unknowing people to check out MOVE-ONdotORG! Don't be fooled into thinking MOVE-ON is something you can believe in! MOVE-ON is Just like ACORN & Organizing for America (OFA) ARE ALL JUST LIBERAL AGENDA WEBSITES & GROUPS! Don't fall for what their going to try to sell YOU on!

  • As we reflect back over the last 5 1/2 months, how many are disappointed over their vote choice? Hes sinking us like some free thinkers thought he would. TYT talks shit about Obama but still would stick their finger in his ass if they had a chance. TYT=Uninformed fuck heads. Vote libertarian next time if you want real change. Liberal losers!

  • This guy is a moron. He can't even speak. Why is he wasting space here?

  • Maybe Obama was actually saying what he thought.;and,by the way,Moveon and the far Lefties are kooks.I

  • lord69z, yes thats what the globalists call themselves, "world citizens." Its not new. "conspiratorial bullshit." Yeah, thats what I call NAFTA, the SPP, NATO, the UN(unholy niggers), the NAU and the EU.

  • Balack Hussein Obaloney threw his mother under the bus in his autobiographies where he disparaged whites. She was a traitor for f'n a communist black muslim and creating the Obamination. Of course she would like to be an ambassador to India, a third world ant hill full of rabid anti-white, anti-westerners who like china hope to absorb our industry though radical banksters who call themselves "world citizens".

  • Oh god... your rabid conspiratorial bullshit is so transparent its ridiculous.

    "world citizen" ? I suppose your descendants were Native Americans.

  • Obama threw his own mother under the bus. Born with a chip on his shoulder. A mudslim father and traitor mother, nothing but shame

  • When the hell did he ever throw his mother under the bus? You do know his mother passed away a few years ago right? If his mother was a traitor as you claim, then why was she a ambassador to India? So I guess the us govt is in bed w/ Muslim fundamentalists?

  • this guy pisses me off. He is so full of shit. Move On is garbage.

  • Move on is no better or no worse than any policital action group. There all the same, so there is really no one in getting all bent out of shape about Move on unless your saying you hate all groups like Move on.

  • the easiest thing for obama is to throw his pll under the bus, his gardma, his pastor, his church, his liberal beliefs, the withdrawal from iraq. hell, the white house is not worth all that.

  • It's all about political expediency. Just wait and see, after the election Obama is going to throw the middle class under the bus and renew his connections with everyone he disavowed in order to get elected.

  • I would like to know how u know this is going to happen.

  • He is a follower of Saul D. Alinsky. Read Alinsky's book, "Rules for Radicals." The disdain for the middle class and methods for manipulating them into facilitating their own destruction is outlined there.

  • bowen, crap. I just had someone reply to me that OBAMA is a Prince Hall mason. I see the mythmakers of Wolfowitch/Jewish witch kabbalists are out pounding the hollow logs with sticks, something they learned from voodoo practitioners.

    Bush Cheney are witch worshippers of lucifer. GWB, grandson of Aleister Crowley. Pauline Robinson Pierce, his grandmother had sex magick w Crowley in France in 1924 to procreate antichrist, Barb was born. Google, Angela merkel Adolf Hitler, future prez of NWO.

  • Obama'08 Obama'08 Obama'08 !!!!

  • Who is paying these Turks? Israel? Fox news? The intelligence community? Who is funding your programs? Who is paying who? We never know...but Obama is the smartest individual in the race; thus, he will do better than McCain or Bob Barr or Nader because he will do what is best to creat Primacy and show a foreward posture in terms of national security....Obama will help the economy or alteast do something different.

  • Obama is not a saint.however, Obama is not a war monger.Special interest control every person not just politicians.Sales people and adminstrators take kick backs.The malbaro sales rep takes kick back from stores.Real estate agents take moneyfrom loan brokers--cash. So what? In the final analysis, I can buy u and every turk and arab out there...I can buy wife in nation...with enough dowery...if I am rich I can marry many women....where is religion god ethic...its all bulls. Obamsissmartthatisall.

  • Have you been to moveon lately Turk? They aren't complaining. How shocking is that?

  • he threw his whole church under the bus. It is getting a little crowded down there.

  • I cant comment on Obama. Like his Granny----I'm a typical white person.

  • Yes We're Conned!

  • Obama is a politician, not the democratic messiah. He isn't perfect and he isn't pure, and he's definitely less liberal than Hillary or Edwards. He has to be vague and lean to the center if he is going to win the election. Catering soley to the left is not going to win him any swing states. And even though I am farther left of the political spectrum, if he wins the election, the US will definitely be better in the long-run.

  • pink, I agree, maybe Obama was the one MJK was talking about when he spoke of going to the mountain top.

    Neoconservative coven of witches, satanists, kabbalists mason, both repig & dems, make me absolutely sick. I have 2 cousins & neice who are witches & work for GWB Cheney et al. They have been practicing witchcraft for 50 yrs & 25 years, consecutively. Greed=repig=occultist.

  • Conservative witches who work for Cheney and Bush?

    As a Wiccan I call shenanigans. Wicca is all about peace and balance and the 3-fold law and no consciencious witch would be in support of the current regime. But then you're trying to connect Bush to Crowley and that's just...funny.

  • OBAMA thows anybody under the bus whats new

  • Merhabar, Cenk! C'mon, are you really expecting any kind of loyalty coming from Barack Obama? Think about it: Alice Palmer, all the others he's thrown under the bus, his constant flip-flops (he calls it "refining his position"), his lies, Yup he's playing the SAME OLD TRICKS!

    Güle güle.

  • Obama is indeed a typical politician and I also think his current positions on what to do now that we're already in Iraq and his view of the fight against radical-islam is dead wrong.

    But I'm socially liberal so I don't want to support a McCain that is pro-life and anti-gay-marriage, anti-stem-cell research...

    What a horrible dilemma.

  • Lucky I don't have to actually vote.

  • -and i gotta say young turks - saying "obama is a typical politics dealing politian" is like saying Reverend Wright is black - no one who isnt blind doesnt already know this. --POINT THOUGH - for finally seeing the light on this.

  • Can we PLEASE stop using the expression "throw under the bus"?

    It is overused and getting stupid. What the hell is wrong with "breaks ties with"?

  • where obama is concerned - its 'throw under the bus' - He will use anyone as long as he can - then throw them under the bus - BETRAY THEM - FOR POLITICAL REASONS - he doesnt simply break ties - he smears.

  • Obama spends way too much time trying to court Republicans and at the same time is turning off long time Democrats like myself. I am begining to think I should vote for McCain on 2008 and then Hillary in 2012.

  • Listen....Mccain sucks....Obama lately is doing what I hoped he wouldn't. Mark my words, WW3 will escalate to a full blown war, then the nukes will fall a few years later, and then suddenly these mysterious diseases will appear, killing the survivors. The NWO will rise from it's ashes.

  • In GirlScouts, I used to sing "Make New Friends, but Keep the OLD....One Is Silver But The Other's Gold".  Obama, what's happened to you?

  • Wow!!! Are you trying to say that Obama is a TYPICAL POLITITIAN??? There's the news flash of the day.

  • When are the Democrats going to learn to reject Rethuglican framing? Sigh!

  • The Republican Congress were bad...

    but when the new Democratic Congress even has a lower approval rating after their "radical" change approach, why hasn't this been planted on the news?

    You Liberal cunts talking about "free speech," but it's just more Micheal Moore's 'select' free speech crap. BTW Micheal Moore is the ultimate capitalists, he's praying on the average liberal to make his dough, he's actually a genius.

    So America is realllly screwed now aren't they?

  • Spin this Liberals,

    "Obama to 'refine' his Iraq policy"

    I guess the 16 months promise to have all troops out of Iraq is toast.

    Moveon has been 'Betrayed' again, this time by their Messiah.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHHH.....­........HA

  • It does not matter who is elected president of the United States of America. The U.S is a corporation owned by the rothschild family. They own the fed reserve, the AP wire bs, reuteurs bs, at least 35 of the most sold newspapers & magazines ever. You Young jerks are a sore to youtube. Thanks for helping their agenda by keeping our preservative laden gray matter filled with more young turk bullshit. Arguing Mccain & Obama is like arguing Disneyland & MTV. I can see that you guys are used to that.

  • HA! Obama 1, peasants 0

  • Moveon will have a BIG wakeup call if Obama is elected president.

    Obama will not cater the the desires of a bunch of wacky left wing jerks.

  • fuck you grunt

  • a centrist democrat? obama is a liberal democrat, one of the most liberal in congress! that's one thing that makes him so attractive to me! you far left loons need to go back to san fran or canada and stop giving republicans material to attack democrats on.

  • None of the Above 2008!

  • Soon, Obama will find out that he is losing his lead, and will try to get back to his original rhetoric, but that will not work as many have seen his true side.

  • You are absolutely wrong here. I dont think he threw them under the bus, I think he's trying to civilize the argument. I think move-on would do well to lead the way on thoughtful political discourse rather than relying on clever puns and adspeak. Move on is a great organization but even I thought the "Betray-us" ad was glib and comparable to right wing attacks.

  • You are absolutely right.

    All Obama was doing was trying to be fair when it comes to name calling.

    He used an over the top example from the good guys.

    Even though I and he and everyone else on the left agreed with the analogy, it was the same tactics of the neo-cons.

    It was an example people!

    Lets not jump into that circular firing squad just yet.

  • Move On is still standing by Obama. Look on their website. Obama I am sure is afraid of how the media twist up everything. I am sure Obama did not diss Move On.

  • Did you not listen to the quote, he said that the General Patreus ad, which was made by Move On, was unpartotic and made them characters which in context is an insult.

  • I think "Move On" will still stand by Obama. Because McCain is PTSD veteran. Who gets ticked off easy. McCain will produce so many wars that there will be a draft.

  • they backed the wrong candidate from the first place, they were simply scammed. They should cut the cord, loss cut.

  • Do you understand that Obama has stated from day 1 and Even in his anti war speech in 2002. That he is not against the war in Afghanistan. Obama is against the war in IRAQ.

    You should not jump to conclusions.

  • When Obama threw his minister under the bus that should have alerted people that he's no different than any other politician. They will sell their mothers, abandon lifelong friendships, deny their own religion, just to get that power. It's not about us folks, it's about Obama. He's an egomaniac just like all the rest of them. Anyone who WANTS to be president shouldn't be allowed to BE president. So give up the "dream". It's still just complete bullshit, same as before.

  • that's probably the most perceptive comment I've read here

  • Thanks.

  • @NoFreeSpeechonYT You have a good point there. I kind of learned this running a chat room. People that wanted and asked to be hosts ended up being really bad at it and were useing it to help with some personal ego problem they were having. People that didn't want to be a host but I just went ahead and hosted them turned out to be the best.

  • Do you understand that Obama has stated from day 1 and Even in his anti war speech in 2002. That he is not against the war in Afghanistan. Obama is against the war in IRAQ.

  • lol...more examples of why the liberals always lose in general elections...they dont understand what it takes to win...sorry but

    America is not a majority on the left...if you want your candidate to win your going to have to swallow the fair about of centrist rhetoric. You guys just dont get it. Republicans never complain about their candidates moving to the center or even a little to the left.

  • ...Or lying or getting us into phony wars or wrecking the economy or outing CIA agents or leaving entire cities to drown. No - you guys don't care WHAT your leaders do!

  • This is outrageous! I'm voting for Ralph Nader as a direct result of this snub.

  • You mean you're voting for McSame. Good luck with that you phony shit.

  • Obama for '08. McCain likes to talk about his "character." That's interesting to me. How much character does it take to fall instantly in love with another - younger, rich - woman while married to your faithful wife who has been injured in an accident while you were a POW. Character? Lack of it if you ask me. I am tired to McCain talking about his. Being a POW (which is noteworthy) does not mean you are a good leader. Ethics, loyalty and family values are characteristics of a good leader.

  • I agree with you ministerzel about character,.but thats how Obama gets votes, not on issues.

  • menstrual:

    Michelle Obama is Oprah's lesbian lover, and the long-legged mack daddy, Barack, occasionally sleeps with Stedman when he's under the influence of cocaine.

  • libtard meltdown in progress...

  • Yep. Wait 'til they get a grip on Obama's promise to expand Bush's "faith based initiatives". The FISA flip-flop didn't hurt him as much as it should have among the cult members. They seem to have short memories. FISA was proof Bush was a fascist, but when Obama signed on, the cult members said "Sounds good to me". I'm betting Obama comes back from Iraq and drops the "immediate withdrawal" plan and starts talking about "finishing the job". He's running for Bush's 3rd term now.

  • @brezz2285 Your right, except you really should call Obama running for Clinton's 5th term, because Bush was just an extension of Clinton.

  • I decided to not vote for Obama now. I gave him a few hundred bucks, but I have principles, and I can only go so far.

    Obama is a disgrace to progressives.

  • should have donated that money to charity instead

  • great show. I worked as a producer in NY. Some tips, bro: get a better mic. NOW. Second: pick up the pace. It will make the show ten times better

  • The young turk show parallels the young republican show. War is wrong.

  • IamayoungQizzilboushandyouarew­ack. An individualstatedthatIamblindto the duplicity of the Obama camp. "I am what am not" per Sartre. I am the decedent of Sheik Amaali Bahii (The beggar of Knowledge). I have the Peak of Eloquence. I have degrees in both Politics and Enlgish.I expose the view that Obama is better than the rest...and I will choose Obama over a pure flesh monger. I know the real in realization per Sartre. I know killing and violence is wrong even if one kills by remote control.

  • Young Turks -you guys are being just as unreasonable and unyielding as the folks on the far right. Obama was not throwing MoveOn under the bus. He is under no obligation to go with every word, proclamation, action that Move On decides to pursue and it is within his right to politely disagree when their tactics and positions don't exactly match his. He becomes tagged by the right for every mis-step of MoveOn otherwise. Stop adopting the Bush neo-con "you're either with us or against us" mindset!

  • I agree with you. The difference between Obama and McCain are profound. Obama is our only hope for the US...we are suffering and headed the wrong way.

  • watch?v=X8rZxa5cnVk

  • instead you would vote for the lesser evil than voting for the best choice which is nader. you buy into the propaganda and BS rhetoric all in the name of HOPE and CHANGE. gimme a break.

  • Wait....that weak reference is all ya got Cenk? C'mon.

    He didnt go after them he made a vague reference talking about what behavior he doesnt condone from the left or from the right.

  • Buyer's remorse man!  I say get Hillary back.

  • Nope;

    Hillary: Liar - War-monger/ Republican Lite..

  • Obama proposes negotiating with Iran - not bombing them. He took all kinds of krapp for this position from the NEO-CONSERVATIVES AND REPUBLICANS. Hillary voted in favor of Kyl Lieberman. Sens. Dodd and Biden voted against it.

  • McCain-Liar!Obama what's on IPod?Dylan, Jay-Z.McCain what's on the Victrola?Fibber McGee & Molly,Benny Goodman.John McCain- dangerous puppet!Oh God,Obama's stance on FISA,the creepy speech at AIPAC.Yuk, McCain bringing Lieberman everywhere;the Israeli lobby is choking the world; the candidates are bought & paid for;a false left-right paridigm!Soft fascism/Hard fascism;they're both enslavement in the end."Knowledge Is Power!"Get involved,look for a TruthMovement group in your area!Start your own!

  • couldn't agree more. thats how hillary lost

  • Obama's Team is mingling with one too many Treasonous Clintonites.

  • This is the first Turks video I agree with. Great analysis.

  • I may have to plug my nose and vote for Obama, but I regret every penny I gave to his campaign. I've pulled up my yard  sign, and I won't be doing any more door-to-door.

    There is no hope for change: we've just got another guy playing us all for stooges.

  • why is he tryinng to defend a general in a war that they are trying to get out of. no americans agree with this war really, it has done nothing for any one. courting the right, no hes courting the capitalists who started this shit. and their too smart to label themselves as left or right. you don't need them barrack, your already larger than life and capagning isn't about prime time tv ads any more. RP for VP

  • oohhh wow so you finally figured out that obama isnt going to agree with everything you do and say...

    Just because he disagrees with what someone on the left did doesnt mean he is throwing them or the left under the bus.

  • I don't think this is exactly the case. Because Obama has consistently praised McCain for his service, it will now be impossible for McCain, the GOP, and the 527's to go after him for MoveOn's Petraeus ad and Wesley Clark's words, which were of course wildly distorted by the media.

  • Obama opts out of campaign finance, then disses his major funding source. That's judgment!

  • he stands by what he believes thats integrity

  • what a pantload you silly person

  • Cenk you need to have Sista Soulja on your show.You seem to insult her position yet you would get your clock cleaned if you dared debate her; By the way she has academic back ground that would dwarf yours and rival Obama's she is a GENIOUS!

  • Cenk didn't insult sister soulja, he was insulting clinton's responce to her comments. however, the "lets kill white people" crack wasn't that funny anyway...

  • Obamas plan to raise taxes to intolerable heights or to wreck our health-care system by covering over 20 million illegal immigrants is untenable. Also, his lies about adhering to Campaign Laws and his willingness to accept 80% of his money from FatCats is troubling.

  • Tyranny Born of Democracy

    watch?v=UOTyR3xHLi0

  • Mr Obama was very much against the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA and now he has flipped and flopped and is supporting it. I guess Hope and Change actually means Flip & Flop. bbllaaahhhhh.....oh man this guy is a liar. What won't he do or throw under the bus to get elected. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahaha

  • Well obama has to be somewhat concerned for the jewish nation if he wants a chance at Florida or to avoid a potentiol barnburner in New York. And whats wrong with redeploying troops to afghan paki regions and scallign back in iraq? Afghanastan is a mess the taliban just raided prison and 500 taliban prisonres escaped how come nobod

  • Racist. You're a crazy kook.

  • Welcome to the new Amerika where democrats are not democrats, republicans are not republicans & american's are sleep walking!

  • I am a member of MoveOn and donate my money to the cause. Obama did NOT throw Move On under the bus (I am beginning to hate that term...so easy to toss out). I did not agree with their portrayal of General P as a betrayer and the nuancing him as a traitor. Gen P is an honorable military man who has risen to one of the highest positions in the military. He looked at the war from a military point of view. Obama did nothing wrong IMHO... but, if he throws Clark under the bus, I will be pissed

  • He already did.

  • no he didnt ... show proof you punk

  • Obama is clever because Americans fall for it every time. LOL! Ni4D(dot)us because no one is going to save you but yourself.

  • Like Kucinich he wants to replace it with a neutral peace keeping force by the UN. At least it won't be seen as continued war and US occupation. He ran on the same platform in 2004 and people said the same thing then, and continued occupation has left them in the sae situation now where they are no less prepared or ready to move out because their presence won't stop the violence.

    There is no certainty in what will hapen if US goes, but we definetly know what happens by continuing to stay.

  • Obama is starting his fuck up.

  • Obama had better watch out because no sane american will vote for a spineless coward.

  • Vote INDEPENDENT.Vote Ralph NADER. The ONLY candidate that will:

    1 Impeach Bush to hold him acountable

    2 Against telecom immunity & Patriot Act

    3 Ending war in Iraq & ONLY candidate that WILL END OCCUPATION IN IRAQ

    4 Cutting unnessecary military spending unlike the 2 parties causing further debt

    5 No threat of war against Iran

    6 No wasting US taxpayers money on military aid 2 foreign countries & factions that backfires on US national secuity

    7 For single payer universal healthcare

  • Ron Paul and Cuck Baldwin, will do somthing like that, people must not lisen to these 2 partys!! NADER!!!

  • LOL....yeah right you dumbass marxist. I'm not voting for that little bitch Nader. If that worm was elected this country would cease to exist. He's an appeaser like Chamberlain and without a world power this place would go into chaos. Open your eyes to the fact that the world is not some safe enjoyable place like your TV says it is.

  • No, not when AMerica thinks they're above international law and invade, occupy, and destroy countries and people just for oil and prestige.

    Open your eyes to what other people see in AMerica in how the actions are hurting others, and at the expense of themselves as US is in debt .

  • No, pal. YOUR world is a freaking paranoid swamp. You vote from fear, just like your Repug leaders make you do. Ooooooh, somewhere in a cave in the dessert is a terrorist who hates America. Oooooo, I scared - SAVE ME DADDY McCAIN! Grow a spine pussy.

  • Actually it is the dumbocrats that do that. OOOoooohhhh...if you vote for a republican you will lose your right to abort a child. OOOOOoooohhh...if you vote for an independent you will lose your civil liberties. OOOoooohhhh...if you vote for McCain you are voting for Bush. OOOOOooooh....if you vote for republicans this country will be Germany 1939. It is the Dems that use fear. We have been attacked.  That is reality.

  • hey Turk,

    Who doesn't this guy throw under the bus in an effort to get to the white house? LOL....man you dems sure have been fooled. Now are choices are turd sandwich or crap taco. Awesome. Obama is just another politician.

  • Vote INDEPENDENT.Vote Ralph NADER. The ONLY candidate that will:

    1 Impeach Bush to hold him acountable

    2 Against telecom immunity & Patriot Act

    3 Ending war in Iraq & ONLY candidate that WILL END OCCUPATION IN IRAQ

    4 Cutting unnessecary military spending unlike the 2 parties causing further debt

    5 No threat of war against Iran

    6 No wasting US taxpayers money on military aid 2 foreign countries & factions that backfires on US national secuity

    7 For single payer universal healthcare

  • Uh, a "candidate" cannot do any of those things and all Nader EVER is is a candidate. Every four years he comes along. In the mean time what is he doing? Beating off?

  • Clinton was right after all! Obama is another spineless politician. If you think about it, he has been doing this to people who helped him out in his life since he became a serious candidate. I am wondering what he has done for his family, particularly his grandma. How many times a year did he visit or call his grandma before running for President? Someone should check into that.

  • Clinton used to always call her grandmother;

    especially after that sniper-fire incident in Bosnia

    that was a close call!!!!!

  • Facts straigt out of your ass. Thanks for sharing! What a tool.

  • What the hell is youung turks? I am from turkish decent but you people need to keep out of Obama talk unles you are supporting him. The speaker is less educated. I support Obama because he is the most intelligent individual in the race even more than Nader. Nader must go back to torts. Nader is selffish...I was with nader before but now the fool needs to relax. If McCain wins, he will nuke Turkey becaue he will mistake her for IRan.

  • lol@mistake

    Blind obedience is out of fashion.Thank God it is.Question even the candidate you support.Maybe your questioning, questionings combined will cause the subject correct his/her mistake.

  • You make some good points, However in that speech he first criticizes the right for using patriotism as a bludgeon. He needed to criticize the left as well so it did not seem as if his speech was a wholesale attack on republicans, which would have obscured his message. I would think that most people think that the betray us ad was over the top, even while recognizing that Petraeus cooked the numbers. It's one thing to say he did a poor job it's another to accuse him of betrayal.

  • Is Obama changing? Is he learning 'the Washington'?Is this the change he has promised bringing?

  • nah theyre all slime, always have been. still vote for him though, atleast it will be interesting

  • OBAMA IS BOUGHT AND SOLD. obama will do anything to egt into power. he won't do anything with his empty promises. go for nader.

  • Obama is now the biggest AIPAC lover.

  • Obama is NOT CHANGE

    1 won't impeach Bush 4 his crimes

    2 voted 4 authorisation of Patriot Act

    3 panders to AIPAC commiting US taxpayers money when in debt to funding Israel's military,not interpreted as neutral when indiectly they oppress Gaza

    4 WILL NOT END THE OCCUPATION IN IRAQ, & will redeploy troop withdrawn to Afghanistan & even Pakistan

    5 Voted 4 Cheney's energy Bill to subsidise the oil companies

    6 Refuses to take option of war with Iran off the table

    7Increase military spending

  • Nader:

    No office

    No phone

    No bus

    No copy paper

    what a joke....................

    NO CHANCE - WON'T EVEN BE ELECTED DOGCATCHER

  • Yeah, Obama's "bought and sold". Tell me, genius, where his campaign money is coming from. It's all from private persons donating what they can. No industry lobbiests. So I guess he's selling out to the people of the US. About time we had a prez like that.

    And you know fucking well the difference in a McCain presidency, which your thrown away vote will got to, and an Obama presidency. Were Bush and Gore REALLY the same? I'd LOVE to hear how you'd defend that idea.

  • well obviously you don't follow other candidates very well. mike gravel has proof that obama takes money from people on wall street just like hillary does.

    your throwing away your votes for obama because he is the same corporate candidate under a different party label. obama is just a repackaged aipac pandering democrat in league with the repubs pandering for votes and your too blind to take notice or care. your blind sheep too dumb to wake up and see how hypocritcal your candidate is.

  • Both partys are NWO and long gone beyond open fare elections.Obama is not realy about any change,just a new wrapper.Constitutional return is the only oportunity americans have to return to something they can say is honest.

  • Move On member here. I'm voting for Obama. I appreciate the commentary, but Move On is not running for office.

    Y'all are taking the Repug route, thinking Obama is far left. Duh. He's a centrist and that means he's not going to please us 100% of the time. We'll have to work to get progressive policies in place, even if Obama wins. Does that really surprise you?

  • Obama's central theme has, for the very beginning, been change. That's why people have been so loyal to him. Now that he has the nomination tied up he is taking the centrist route. This is politics as usual, not change. He's making McCain look like the more reliable, stable candidate.

  • And McCain is a senile old guy.If people see him as reliable that should make Obama think twice about his own change into same-old politics-monger.

  • You are correct. At least with McCain he has put his political career at risk time after time by opposing the Repubs. Obama has never went against the DNC goose step parade.

  • Bad comparison. The Republican policies he's broken from are things that are like global warming. Courage to contradict the party of stupidity? Not really.

  • Obama's central theme has always been centrist... working with the GOP. Understanding others points of view. he's very stable he has never been far anything

  • True. One only has to see him speak to know that he is a pragmatic person, but not to a fault. He'll never be a Bill Clinton neo-liberal, for instance.

    Why's everyone so freaking crazy on YouTube, Foto? It's like a collection of folks that the Klan rejected for being TOO crazy.

    Peace.

  • intelligence is still on this planet ... thank you

  • Obama's just another politician. He'll do, say, buy, sell anything or anyone to get into office. What a surprise.

  • Obama will lose in landslide if he continues with his right wing talking points, i am beginning to question this dude.

  • Move-on has been discredited by huge improvements in Iraq security. Obama was smart to cut them off or he will not be flexible enough on Iraq to win as things continue to improve.

  • Has Young Turks been BOUGHT by Rupert Murdoch yet? I seem to recall there was some interest.

  • Why would you say that about TYT being bought by Rupert Merdoch???

    just because they have finally woken up from the Obama stuper they were in and see the man for what he is?

  • do you not like Obama anymore, Cenk?

  • move-on and other anti-war groups are stupid for backing obama over kucinich, ron paul and soon to be green party presidential candidate cynthia mckinney

  • None of which will get more than 1% of the vote. Yeah! Let us progressives vote green party and give the election to McSame, genius. Obama in '08.

  • the supporting of the LESSER OF 2 EVILS is a failed strategy.

  • You voted Nader in 2000, correct. Tell me Gore would have been Bush.

  • How did you come to the conclusion that i voted for nader?

  • Ralph Nader is polling at 6% in the CNN polls. ANd if people would allow him to be in the debate, and Democrats stopped voting the lesser of 2 evils, and Ron Paul, Kucinich, Gravel, Barr, and Nader supporters united then he can win.

    A vote for Obama may win the battle but loses the war for the Democrats having compromised his principles to pander for corporate necons voters.

  • McSame is another 4 years of Bush. You Nader people are just nuts. Look at the reality. Nader CAN NOT win and a vote for him is a vote for McCain, just like it was a vote for Bush in 2000.

  • Obama.CHANGE?!.LOL

    1 won't impeach Bush 4 his crimes

    2 voted 4 authorisation of Patriot Act

    3 panders to AIPAC commiting US taxpayers money when in debt to funding Israel's military, not interpreted as neutral when indiectly they oppress Gaza

    4 WILL NOT END THE OCCUPATION IN IRAQ, & will redeploy troop withdrawn to Afghanistan & even Pakistan

    5 Voted 4 Cheney's energy Bill to subsidise the oil companies

    6 Refuses to take option of war with Iran off the table

    7Increase military spending

  • Do you just hang around in here or what? :P

  • We only have a few months to reverse the comlete brainwashing propoganda impossed on the public by the biassed national media that's blind support of Obama prevented them from asking any questions about the actual policies he's outlined, and just beliving the rhetoric. So for the next few weeks I'm building an online grassroots movement to get peoople informned and get them to join in.We need Nader on all 50 state ballots so Nader supporters aren't disenfranchised, and we need him in the debates

  • a vte for nadar is a vote for mccain and 4 more year of bush

  • More accurately, a vote for Obama is a vote for most of McCain's foreign policy when analysing where the money is still allocated, ignoring the rhetoric. Obama will waste US taxpayers money on:

    1 continued annual funding of Israel's millitay to pander for AIPAC votes

    2 end war yet continue occupaion in Iraq

    3 redeploy more troops to Afghanistan war

    4 increase military spending beyong what's already 50% of government spending

    5 refuses to say no threat of war in Iran even if diplomacy 1st.

  • nader knows he is not going to win he can say anything cuz he will never actually have to bring policy to the table.

    1 an ally in the mid east is probably not a bad idea

    2 So Nader thinks we should just abandoned all US contractors an watch the heads roll - literally

    3 i agree we should leave

    4 i dont think this is accurate or at very least its misleading

    5 War is sometimes needed

  • I just talked to an organisation investingating why 100 million people on average don't vore which is 60% of the registered elction, a pattern that has occurred over last 40 years. They said on reason is the loudest protest is not voting, an told me 60% of non voting registered voters outnumbers the 2 paties put together.He said they are usually anti war voters tha thave no alternative to vote for so don't vote. That's why we need a 3rd party as a landslide with 40% turnout is terrble.

  • If nader was a better leader he would get better turnout but he's not he's a loser that has never brought one extra vote to the table Obama and Hillary have brought out millions and that was just the primary... America needs a real leader not a grumpy old man. This isnt a dictator ship to get things done we need someone who can communicate and lead

  • That's because Nader doesn't play idenity politics. For example, Nader is every bit as historic as Hillary and Obama being the 1st Christian son of Lebonese immigrants who is a respected American that can communicate in mulitple languages including Arabic. I only found that out the other day yet suddenly I'm sure it makes his story more interesting and he'd get more media attention. But he chooses to focus on issues the media chooses not to pay attention to.

  • part of being a leader is getting people to listen to you getting the media to cover you... making things happen not just talking about it. Nader has been around for years if he had any leader ship ability then he would also have ower and influence over the media... Naders lack of leadership ability is a very good reason not to vote for him... we dont live in a dictatorship - our president has to lead

  • he's been excluded from every major debate by your democrats. in 2004 they sued him for trying to get attention. you dont know what your talking about just liek the others.

  • Nader will not win so he can say anything and do nothing. He has no ability to lead or he would be leading much more than 6% of the population. We need a real leader in the white house - if nader could get elected he would be just as ineffective as he is now.

    - Healthcare - he could never make it happen... his old weak and unconvincing

    - Impeach bush - if nader was a true leader why hasnt he lead more people towards this already - No one in washington or america respects him

  • 6% in the polls with no national coverage is very impressive considering that's double the % he got to vote for him in the 2000 election. If he makes in to 15% then he will be able t get into the debates. Your rsponse didn't give legitmate reasons of why not to vote for Nader as saying he can't win is an outcome of people being put off voting for him for that prediction alone.

    As Jon Stewart said to Ralph Nader:

    "One thing nobody has never said is that Ralph Nader wasn't right."
