Come on, Cenk isn't deranged. He chose to believe Obama's campaign promises like I think people should be able to do. We should live in a world where we can trust what people say. Now Cenk is saying, why are you betraying those promises so badly?

I am a progressive and I did not vote for Obama for the very reason that I have no trust in the Democrats, but that doesn't mean Cenk is deranged for doing the opposite.

I think it's the politicians who are deranged, Obama included.

God I can't stand Mark Halperin. His condicending attitude towards Cenk was disgusting. He thinks he's so high and mighty and all other's in the media should bow to his wise "unbiased" lazy opinions. He kept patronizingly telling Cenk to "slow down". I guess his "fair and balanced brain couldn't keep up with a real journalist who actually uses his in his job.

@lynchmobb2000 I think he was referring to Mark Halperin not Cenk.... but I would agree.

Cenk no MSNBC is a propoganda arm of the Dem/union mafia.

You are too stupid and untalented to get an itern job at Fox.

[TheArmchairrocker]

Did they put the public option up for a vote? No? Then they didn't try,

[ridewave444]

Maureen Dowd is a phony ass, disengenious idiot.

@pennjersey83 If you don't believe Liberals are not authoritarian by nature ( which you base on nothing but your own opinion), why don't you read "Conservatives Without Conscience" by John Dean. He has plenty of Nobel Prize winning, non political scientific sources sighted in it. I doubt you will though because unlike you I would never make a statement like you made without having studied it and then coming to a conclusion.based on scientific studies.

Respond to this video... I do agree however President Obama needs to stand up to "all that crap" too and I am sick and tired of the disrespect some of these loony right wingers give to "their" President.

@synchronium24 Sorry for the late reply. I've been working on my blog so much I forget how much I enjoy you tube. Cenk gets a bit over dramatic but at least he has the integrity to tell us how he really feels about something and sometimes there really is only one correct position. Would you expect an anchor to give both sides (liberal vs. conservative) when it comes to civil rights or whether women should be allowed to vote. Halperin doesn't seem to get this.
