Former Pres. Candidate Dennis Kucinich sings "Sixteen Tons"

Dennis "transitions out of the presidential campaign" (i.e., quits the race):

Good on Dennis for making the right decision. Now maybe the citizen's of Ohio's 10th congressional district can get some real representation? Here's hoping...

"This isn't American Idol; we're choosing the President of the United States." --Dennis J. Kucinich

Ohio congressman and candidate for president Dennis Kucinich delivered the luncheon speech at the Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Wall Street Project Conference on January 8, 2007. Here he sings "Sixteen Tons," embarrassing everyone but the base of paranoid leftists and idealistic peaceniks and disillusioned dreamers that rabidly support him. And Jesse Jackson.




Also, to his credit he does have a deeper register than you'd expect for a space alien midget.

damn i wish he was president.

Kucinich should have been the next president. Hillary and Obama are just big $ raisers - no substance.

Denis da man!

This video goes a long way toward explaining why Kucinich had no chance against Obama and Hillary. He was at least 30 and probably more like 50 years out of date with that song. Coal miners have little representation in the post-modern Democratic Party of brie and latte environmentalists like Nancy Pelosi who have demonized fossil fuels.

Kucinich is a good guy.

Too bad that elections are rigged, politics is a game where the rich ALWAYS win, and reforms are nothing more than stall tactics until the corprotocracy can fully enslave us-

We ARE in the days of 16 tons.

Could somebody please post The Factor from 12/01/9, Rep. Kucinich ONCE AGAIN makes more valid points about the political labels "they" continually try polarize people with, with O'Reilly being one of its mal-sized contributors.

It takes a left wing and a right wing for this eagle to truly soar.

The wings are the people and the body of the Animal, its Constitution, Ammendments, Bill of Rights, protected by people like Dennis Kucinich whom I look at as one of the finest politicans in DC.

Check the WHO league table for healthcare standards by country...or don't.  You may be surprised if you do.

Kucinich is the reason I first registered Democrat in 2004, to vote for him in the Pres. primaries. Would've voted for him in the '08 primary too had he not dropped out before the OH primary came up.

Obama is a fascist, not a socialist...I don't like socialism but I agree with you that it would be a hell of a lot better than fascist Bush/Obama.

Your right and we may get another tax cheat, Al Franken in office. What a joke our political system has become.

We need term limits NOW.

Yea, like I said, take out all of the free care that illegals and others get that just stay on welfare and straighten out our fake lawsuits and our cost and quality of care would go up. But our doctors do stupid things. Like if you just need a refill, "Oh you need to come in and see the doctor before they'll fill that." So you have to file on insurance about 100 bucks just to get a refill.
