Liberal Hypocrisy on Obama Vs Bush - Poll

Are liberals in favor of policies under Democratic President Barack Obama that they despised under Republican President George Bush? Sadly the answer is yes according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks down a piece by Glenn Greenwald on the topic including thoughts on Gitmo and drone strikes.

This is why I like TYT. They clearly lean left, but they're not afraid to stick it to the Democrats when they fuck up.

Apparently, points are only insightful when they validate your ideas.

image n just the president tuns over by the Islam, and f**k us up, please God gives us a brake. that will be a great movie....

You just completely lied about the Republicans stopping Obama from closing Guantanamo bay. At the time when president Obama try to close Guantanamo the Republicans had absolutely no power to stop anything wanted to do. If the Republicans could stop anything they would have stop Obamacare from passing. In fact it was the Democratic Party thats stopped President Obama from closing Guantanamo and putting the terrorists on trial in New York.Either you're ignorant or a liar and hoping I'm ignorant.

Obama & Bush both war criminals.

Is there any other option presides finding the bottom. I know it's amazing how deep it can go but can humanity take it? Also right-libertariansim is an evil anti-social form of dogma and I'm not going along with it

[NRAbsoule]

Left and right may hate each other but with out one or the other you destroy the balence and society gets corrupted

[MrSnowyPenguin]

Obama is a socialist. I speak the truth. But liberals won't agree with me because they have no commen sence.

[blkpanther11]

Good that you flipped out and Now that He Re Elected his agenda will Destroy America

[sconikof slend]

I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with this guy. Have I accidentally stepped into an alternate universe?

[Averagegamer100]

It means your left leg is shorter than your right leg.

And this is why libertarianism is the future. Both parties have veered outside the comfort zone of your average American. After Obama is out of office and we got a Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich in office, people will start to wake up.
