TPMtv: I Gotta Be Me

[leifoh9012]

that laugh is so creepy

[BillyVillain]

lol shit eating grin

[XZisle]

I have to admit, McCain's smile in this video is extremely creepy.

Why is it so necessary to produce negative videos of an opponent anyway? I view it as wasting resources. I don't know about the majority of voters, but if I'm watching a candidate, I want to know what that candidate can/will do, not what they think of the other guy.

\`XZisle`/

[vuducile]

lmao, it looks like somebody rolled up his 'blueprint' and inserted it somewhere uncomfortable.

[jenniferann2]

It's not working

[ckennedy9200]

I love how TPM rips on McCain while a McCain for president ad plays right next to the video. I love to see the McCain campaign wasting their ad money like that : )

[casthand]

mccain doesnt even know how to smile

[NObamma2008]

Obama is a dangerous Populist. He makes whatever hollow promises are necessary to get people cheering, but provides little substance. And what substance he does provide is scary. He is eerily similar to the 1920's Louisiana Gov. Huey Long, with the promise of "A chicken in every pot". McCain, on the other hand, tells you like it is, plainly. Given the choice between flowery puff Obama and boring reliable McCain... I'll take the latter!

[HateNeverCeasesHate]

maybe you just arent listening. I mean, Obama will pull out the troops as soon as possible. He will push for national health care.

[NObamma2008]

Obama claims he wants to pull out of Iraq on his timeline regardless of the circumstances or consequences. That's pure ignorance! The truth is all you libs are being fooled. Obama will NOT pull out the troops... he has parsed his words just enough so that he can claim disagreement with those evil Rep's now, but later, if he gets elected, he will do exactly what McCain is saying should be done. Obama will not keep his promise any more than the Dem's you elected to Congress last year. Fools!

[HateNeverCeasesHate]

again, you don't seem to be listening to what Obama is actually saying. He said he would set a timeline for troop pull out, and would stick to that as well as the conditions in Iraq would allow. You say that he is saying something different, yet, this is what Obama is saying, and has been saying all along.

There are allot of people putting words in Obama's mouth, trying to make him look bad, So I understand why you mistake him. Please, give him a chance, and look what he actually has to say.

[NObamma2008]

OMG! This is the absolute B.S. Obama said during the primaries what he needed to get the nomination (I will pull the troops out in 16 months, PERIOD, no conditions, no consultations with the Generall's, just "PULL THE TROOOPS OUT", b/c that's what the far left loonies wanted!). But now that the general election is here... this idea of "as long as conditions permit" suddenly has appeared in his speeches. Obama has simply aligned his position with McCain b/c McCain has been right all along!

[HateNeverCeasesHate]

watch this video: watch?v=jrp9xrSDXFk

Obama will set the mission as, pull the troops out, but in a responsible manner. He has been consulting the generals, and he will continue consulting with generals.

That video shows how twisted fox news gets on this issue. If I'm wrong, I would love to know. Show me the clip of him saying what you say he says, and I will stand corrected.

[sakatush]

Way to fight "little substance" with little substance. Your maverick man has been doing the same thing for 30 years, you call it reliable but it's the precise definition of insanity. If you remember Gov Long so well though, I understand why "boring" sounds good to you, these damn kids and their loud music, huh?

[dltdnotdftd]

McCain's whole campaign revolves around Obama.

[jpdeas66]

Obama is by FAR the better candidate.........If for no other reason than that he can Spell all the BIG words in

Yes We Can!

GOTTA LOVE IT!!

[thid1]

"boo"

great edit!

[RomaVo2]

If we increase oil production here the government will reap many more tax dollars from that extra oil . The government gets more money from the sale of gas than the oil companies. Much more!! We are sending billions of dollars to opec. Let's keep the money here and the tax dollars flowing to cover government spending!!

[Ralphdraw3]

Talk about lack of conviction and confidence in his speaking style, it is painful to watch...

QUOTE:

"I don't really know what I am talking about, they just gave me this speech and told me to read and smile occasionally..."

"I sincerely hope that I don't put you all to sleep. This speech will be over quickly, don't worry my friends!"

[Ralphdraw3]

Johnny!!!!

YA NEED MORE AMERICAN FLAGS IN YOU PHOTO OPS!!! THAT'S WHAT WORKED FOR GEORGE BUSH.... THE MORE FLAGS, THE BETTER.

[tnichols321]

the only thing john mccain is going to achieve by the end of his first term is arthritis, Alzheimer's, and severe ED

[39ALLAKAD70]

I am your Creator speaking to you all now from the top of Heaven to the bottom through my wonderful son your messiah this first time in all of your existence you all have refused salvation from all that is evil death, we up here are ready to rise all up into heaven alive when one man says yes for all men, your leader brown, and yes is my architect what is to be completed and done, My Great and Mighty Holy Sphere, the sooner you get started the sooner you all will not die and that is Heaven.

[rewindsf49]

I actually like Bush more than McCain and that says a lot.

[RKingFaraday]

God damn, Josh Marshall, you are the man! Keep up the good work, tpmtv. Your editing is fierce as hell.

[Zile77]

Turn off the Demonrats lies about who pays taxes.

According to The Wall Street Journal today: The Treasury Department says: "For the first time in decades, and perhaps ever, the richest 1% of tax filers will have paid more than 40% of the income tax burden. The top 50% will account for 97% of all federal income taxes, while the bottom 50% will have paid just 3%."

Cut taxes for the top 50%? Damn right! If Dems want to keep taxing us all until we're in the bottom, they'll have nobody left!

[39ALLAKAD70]

All belongs to Creator not the created, it was never given, its stolen by man for woman fell to the nature that takes you, created all that is evil death against I Creator now stop creating all that is evil death, you have no more space left to all that is evil death against my will, its full up busting at the seams overflowing into the living a man created abomination, I am here now to obliterate all that is evil death out of my I created existence, and you exist, that's my business.

[gullygunz000]

the iraq war is such bullshit

it's a bunch of lies put together by a bunch of elitists

we're all screwed

[39ALLAKAD70]

All belongs to creator not the created,when you say it belongs to you,your saying all belongs to the created not creator only one can belong not two and we are two here,I Creator and you the created,you all in debt to Creator, Almighty Powerful Lord God Creator Kadhigher Christ here now with my Son to rise all up alive into Heaven forever never ending when your leader says yes and stops doing for man created evil death against your Creator. 3970 Allakad at: ubroadcast belongs to Creator The Son

[clarkslick]

god=fiction

[ltlillil]

John McCain makes Bob Dole look charismatic!

[asdffd]

LOL! I thought the exact same thing.

[septube26]

McCain looks and sounds creepy

[jenisoutofhermind]

I can't believe I am saying this but this makes him out to be a worse public speaker than Bush.

[GarrettDoyle]

that really is McCreepy at his best

[macman851]

ROFLMOA! "Shit-eating grins," I love it!

[GretchenDawntreader]

these speeches...they are like the guy who gets up to speak at someone's wedding reception and tries to tell jokes like a standup comedian, but they aren't funny and it's really awkward and people clap just to be polite while hoping they can just cut the cake already as soon as this idiot sits back down.

Is this really the best guy Republicans could come up with? After hammering Gore and Kerry for having no personality or charisma?

[ds343]

just say no deal.

if we don't clean the party now we'll get 8 years of obama and 8 years of a republican.

this message of change, and the ease of falling in line are not worth almost two decades of no solutions and horrible leadership for the american people.

[mcalien24]

lol "a 96 year savings."

[TwoRials]

Republicans' strategy is to lose the election by having a senile as their nominee. They know very well that Democrats have no spine to deal with tough issues (War, Economy ...). So in worst case condition, they will be back in four years and stay for another 16. And if the senile happens to win, it will be over for Democratic Party. It is very sad for our great country when addressing real issues take the back seat.

[RotoMachismo]

He's like Powder.

[Democrats08]

Now is the time vote Third Party.

[cungilez]

mccreepy!

[Barnicles10101]

I don't care who wins, just as long as the current clown is out.

[episteme420]

GodDamn this shit is hilarious!

I love politics because of all the stupid people who make it what it is!

[tonymontana2010]

econimist dont belive in my plan, but the american like it lol.(3:17).obviously econimeist no more about what works 4 the economy than non econimist

[utubesucks2003]

"shit-eating grins" -- wow, even though I agree, I found these reports at least somewhat objective and not completely biased.

[zapponsalvia]

John McCain = pwned.

[patsagainstrats]

And no one has a more intimate knowledge of the "shit-eating grin" than Josh Marshall, as he prefers to finish off his gay lover, ass to mouth.

[Montagraph]

He looks like a guy with a hand crammed up his ass being controlled by one of his Puppet Handlers! Ahahaha

[zndprophet]

McCain=Epic Fail

[cungilez]

McCreepy! Now Im hungry.

[spaun17]

CREEPY!

[beserker45]

McCain is showing signs of weakness how lame

[ltlillil]

He needs to distract attention from his speaking flaws by duding himself up in his flightsuit like his buddy Bush did a few years back.

[MissNophi2U]

can we just get to the part where obama gets sworn in already.

[arequipa1]

no.

[hillsad]

Bottom line is he's so creepy, fake or real, that he would never win this election in a million years. End of story.

In the meantime, support Ralph Nader in his quest to enter the upcoming debates!

[GrownupPhan]

Too bad for them the real John McCain is creepy as hell.

[agenttube007]

why does this video have a John McCain advertisement next to it?

[flamablesteve]

Because Everyone loves Irony.

[pfannyguy]

Next monday McCain will reintroduce himself to the American people again. The campaign has leaked some of his new material:

You know I hate earmarks, but Obama, he loves earmarks. You know, my friends, he's kind of build for it...[jar, jar], you know, ear-marks [point to ears]. Speaking of Obama. In the senate I approached the junior senator in the Senate and said:

-Listen...

Obama: I'm all ears...

Hey, I said, don't be so hard on yourself. [jar, jar]..

[jtilak]

its awkward because hes a fake, and he's just reading shit other people told him to say. he's a tool. its pathetic.

[funkyyow]

Thats not change we can believe in. (Smiling awkwardly).My God...very creepy...

[cagedtigersteve]

McCain needs to learn to do speeches really really quick.

[koren1124]

McCain is the strangest speaker I've ever seen.

[CampHazzard]

We can get SOOOO much oil if we stay for a million years!!!! Hurray for oil!!! Yay!!!!!

[jsfumato]

I am pretty sure i can see the shape shifting lizard behind the latex mask...

those eyes are not human

[jsfumato]

The salad i just ate had more charisma than Grampy McSame

[lookingforananswer]

Maybe it's just me, but I thought he looked kind of pained as he did the snicker and grin thing...

[GOPSpinMachineInOD]

McLame guarantees victory? Oh brother, give me a friggin BREAK from these CLOWNS!

[beerasaurus]

mccain is full of fail.

[LedusZeppelinus]

wow, the mormon has a better chance against obama than this geezer...

[ambientdiscord]

you caught me off guard with the "shit eating grins" comment, laff :)

[WadeBlazingame34]

These are his BAD giggles. Here are his GOOD giggles:

watch?v=vx8oNCU7dDo

I could watch this all day long.... :)

[hiriumi]

ew...

McCain is so awkward.

[mmm413]

Creepy, creepy, creepy guy.

[Mel1334]

Oh God. I couldn't even watch those clips of him. I just had to scroll over them. Geez. It's like nails of a chalkboard. Damn.

[dltdnotdftd]

McCain has some weak lines. I hope his campaign isn't letting him write these speeches! McCain needs a speech trainer and a speech writer. He should stop focusing on Obama, it takes away from his campaign. ahh, forget it. No matter what McCain does, he's lost!

[typhonsentra]

I can't believe you actually called it a "shit-eating grin".

[eincali]

How embarrassing.

I love his little chuckle after the delivery, then the long uneasy silence, then the mild laughter from his "supporters".

[spencerdev91]

McCain won't have a first term.

[nanquan491]

lol John McCain is like a failed comedian, nervously bumbling though his bad jokes... this is just embarrassing to watch! He should just be himself! haha

P.S - Joshua "Micah" Marshall is a faggoty liberal loon! :D

[RecessMonkeys]

It's almost like he's speaking in haikus or something.

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

McCain's comic timing is......well....GENIUS!

Barbara Bush will back me on that,

and so will Karl Rove.

[zmgriffith]

Shit Eating Grins....

BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!

[BayerLexan]

When I first saw the McCain speech, I couldn't find the right words to describe his facial expression, but I think 'shit eating grins' does reflect it perfectly.

[KiwiTwist03]

He creeps me the hell out. When he does that laugh, he reminds me of some perverted old man terrorizing little kids.

[evilxxxintentions]

Im willing to bet He is a perverted old man.

[Saimerro]

3:53 John McCain, comic genius?

[responderer]

You promised us you would do something about the green background.

[andreleroux12]

Mcain look especially senile and old in this video!

[nanquan491]

lmao... i hate this channel and everything it stands for, but seeing that speech of McCain is just hilarious! hahahaha

[kingtobo]

Oh, those bad puns are just so awkward to watch.

[sugarpuddin88]

That means he is going to fill the empty 96 Trillion that has been depleted from the SS and Medicare trust;

And the 53 Trillion mission from other Federal trusts

And the 9 trillion in back interest owed to the Fed

That comes out to 1,600,000 from every single adult in America! Where is he going to get that money? Is he going to have the Fed print it?!

[McSoustenfrugal]

Thats all we need is another president with a creepy snicker.

[jakewayd]

Wow he's awkward.

[ObMUB]

McCain is too old to be a first term president. And that is that.

[owenandcam]

I am a lifelong Republican and he is the worst.

Go Obama !

[MrMP81]

If you were really a life long republican, you really wouldn't be going for Obama either.

[owenandcam]

Are you calling me a liar ?

[MrMP81]

Look at why I said that. Look at Obama's positions, his budget plan, etc.

He's worse than McCain by far on that.

They aren't too different from eachother, so if you are a " Lifelong " as you say you are, then figure out why I said it.

[Gnosis1Paul]

What the F---! You somehow see McCain as an even possible choice? Ancient, yet fickle, "I'm sorry to tell you my friends, but there's gonna be more wars." - says McCain...

Do you want to fight these damn wars? not me- or my son...F--- that!

[MrMP81]

Who said anything about McCain being a choice or better? I personally think they are the same shit different toilet.

They both associate with organizations that don't give 2 shits about you nor' I ( CFR, AIPAC, Etc )

They hold loyalty to them before answering to you. That is why Obama has been changing his tune, he needs to cater to those who gave him his $

If there were ever a time to vote for a 3rd party, the time is now.

Look at Chuck Baldwin Or Bob Barr.

[MrMP81]

Another note I forgot to add.

Obama isn't ending the occupation, he first said he wants to remove the combat troops but keep the base, now he says he has to speak to the generals and see what to do ( Thats what McCain said also )

Which in turn means, the war will continue because they don't want us there period.

You have to look at who they associate with & their record ( not their speeches ) in order to make the " RIGHT " Vote.

[anodyneryan]

watching that creepy chuckle makes my skin crawl a little bit every time. this guy has no chance.

[hairgrows]

who knows more about the economy? the american people? or economists?...

[hairgrows]

lol he says his FIRST term...voting is fraud. we will be elected, not once, but twice. dont even vote. everyone should just not vote. they lie to us. if you do vote, vote for ron paul. the only candidate that understands the constitution.

[Onestt]

congrads on making it in elle magazine!

[d3v07]

Obama 2008!

[GlobalSufi]

McCain IS Uncle FESTER!!!

[GlobalSufi]

No, wait... I take that back... he IS Montgomery Burns!!!

"Release the hounds, hehehe..."

[thomascavaness]

John McCain seems to be very sick. I am not sure he is up to the role of President. He is too old and too sick.

[moejardines]

What is "VICTORY" again? How the hell is that going to happen in Afghanistan? The place is so vast, so rural, so ethnically divided, and so full of weapons I think its not possible. As for Iraq, they apparently want us to leave soon. Doh!

[bludrums]

We need laws governing the politicians in Washington.If they ignore or break constitutional laws they are convicted of Treason. We need an Article V convention to implement laws against treasonous acts and unamerican policy. Hold these criminals accountable for there actions.Fascist to the right ,Commmunist to the left is their any constitutionalist still in America?Its 1880 Corporate England all over again.America is a Republic not a Democracy,democracies always fail.Always!History says so.

[allocater]

oh my God, that was unbelievable terrible...

[Scott3843]

Poor John McCain. He seems like an OK guy caught in the Republican machine. They obviously are not happy that their nominee is such a bland guy. Might as well pack in the towel now, John. Buh-bye.

[cungilez]

11.5 million spend an hour on war in Iraq, Tuisyen cost more, 46.6 million doesn't have health insurance, Veteran benefits going down and your saying we're winning?

Obama wants to bring back the money back to where it should be and with so many ignorants in our country who's voted for Bush before and now going for Mccain and expected different result, well I called it INSANITY!

Well the media were BS from the start.

Who help sell WAR on IRAQ? The media did and now IRAN.ERRRRRRGGGGG!Pathetic!

[boots920]

Obama or McCain the US is going down because no real solutions are being offered. The Federal Reserve needs to go NOW or face a super depression. Face, your already in one, the smoke and mirror economy is imploding as we speak. Demand congress end the war NOW. Bring your patriots home, save a trillion. Pretty simple solution, but its not going to happen. Millions of Americans will have to hit the knees first. You guys are making Mugabe look good...LOL.

[Jeijo1]

mcain is as awesome as veracifier

[monymizer]

I can't even stand looking at McCain. I turn off the channel when I see him. He is so fake. If people can't see through his crap they are ignorant.

[inaeurotrance]

mccain's creepy...

[mattdawgg1]

he seems to be a few cents short of a quarter. and thats not a joke. has anyone seriously looked into his mental capacity? what would he be like in four years? "thats.......not.........chang­e........ha, thats..................not....­....... (falls asleep.)

I sure hope we don't end up with a grumpy, old and possibly senile president. just for aesthetics... i catch enough hell from my grandpa

[cungilez]

Media BS as most of the video's on youtube on john mccain and realized in all these videos he is NOT wearing the American flag pin. So i feel we should question his patriotism and judge him as a crappy person, the same way the republicans do for Obama. I love it that when Obama didnt wear the American flag pin it gets blown up, and people consider him a Muslim and anti-american, but when McCain does the same thing its automatically ok.I cant stand this political BS.

[LarryNocella]

Is McCain related to David Lee Roth?!?! They both are ELECTRIFYING performers that command the stage with their over-the-top personalities!!!!!

That zinger about "Obama's seal says yes we can but his plan is filled with no we can't" was delivered with such pizazz, I am in awe of his stage presence.

[cungilez]

11.5 million spend an hour on war in Iraq, Tuisyen cost more, 46.6 million doesn't have health insurance, Veteran benefits going down and your saying we're winning?

Obama wants to bring back the money back to where it should be and with so many ignorants in our country who's voted for Bush before and now going for Mccain and expected different result, well I called it INSANITY!

Well the media were BS from the start.

Who help sell WAR on IRAQ? The media did and now IRAN.ERRRRRRGGGGG!Pathetic!

[publius84]

I wager you wont hear the term _shit-eating grins" in the MSM. McCain makes me want to take a shower, its like a bad act at a comedy club mixed with a 2 minute hate.

[FeelFreeToArgue]

No wonder republican operative were all over the airwaves trying to spin Obama's recent comments on Iraq as a flip flop - they were clearly trying to clear the path for this whopper. From a million yrs to 4 - what else do you want America? Anyone want a pony? John McCain will be happy to promise you a pony if that's what you want.

[baronmorris]

GOOD GOD, MCCAIN IS CREEPY!!!

[killacamtay]

LOL LOL its the laugh at the end of those "Thats not change we can believe in" thats the creepiest lol

[cungilez]

Definitely Mccain's going to be crush during the debate. Point after Point but still Obama will be having a tough time as the media is on GOP side.

Imagine the media can brainwash into believing Obama flip flop on Iraq.

Dear God, pls help us from this manchurian candidate.

[hypnofan35]

No wonder they don't show this guy on National TV.. Yikes! He attended Manchurian Candidate Mind Controlled University, and he is showing us what he learned there.

[gallomex13]

When is the first debate???

[danallyr]

I CANNOT wait until Obama has the opportunity to wipe this guy out in a debate!!

McCain is twisted, stubborn, and a damn fool... He makes me sick!

[foley15136]

John McCain is a droid. The Emperor sent him.

[JohnNoZ35]

So, he is going to declare the war won, no matter what.

Where is he going to get the troops to fight for the next four years? Is he going to sign up the current troops for seventh and eighth rotations?

[loki3692]

The only way is a DRAFT. <<<[insert Cringey laugh and shit eating grin]

[JohnNoZ35]

Yep. Let's see them get that through congress. Every elected official in the country would be out, by either election, impeachment or revolution.

[iamafractal]

HAHAH it's so sweet when McCain makes himself look like a befuddled old dust pile. i can feel the votes shedding off as he speaks.

[ls1z28chris]

"Cringey laughs and shit eating grins." Hahaha! Finally someone describes it accurately!

[voyzovrezon]

I had to back it up to make sure that's what he said. Yep, he said it. And Josh is right! LOL

[Cypress77]

It's all about the shit-eating grins...

[nedmano]

that is not change we can beleve in :DDDD

[jenniferann2]

2013, most, but not all.

[fapplejuice]

Josh, great video as always :)
