Obama Contraception Compromise Not 3D Chess

Was President Obama's compromise on Catholic groups and covering contraception a masterful 3-dimensional chess strategy? The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur sets the record straight with a New York Times report.

So you Americans now oppose contraception? Are you trying to go back in time or be more like Iran or what's the deal?

[regtracker]

so the Obama administration just got lucky that the mess pretty well fixed itself and have finally been exposed for the puppets and "Big Flinch" artists that they are. Too bad there are no corrective measures in the US political system to cancel out the corruption, or apathy towards the general population ( little people/voters). Here's concrete proof that Washington could care less what their voters feel or think. Time for the ppl to take their country back ( by force).USA #1, yeah right LMFAO

Cenk i am a conservative and i disagree with your politics but i listen to your show just to get an understanding of what the other side is saying so i am not listening to just what i want to hear,..

Don't you dare say that about Iranians you racialist

[Ali Jamâli]

No one gives a shit about banning contraception in Iran, it's actually promoted as it reduces the need for abortion.

20-20 hindsight is BS. No one was polling anything about this before the proposal went public, and after it did go public the administration starting lobbying for the will of the people. This is what bugs me the most about TYT and Cenk and how they deal with Obama (even I know Obama has made mistakes): they want Obama to be like Bush, when they elected him to change the Bush mentality of govt. So when it's a PROGRESSIVE issue... be like Bush, otherwise do what 'the polls' say. Square that circle

60 percent of voters strongly oppose the Blunt Amendment.

Excellent leadership on this issue, Mr. President.

Yeah I have.. Although I haven't noticed it in the last few hours

[grmpf]

Are you still getting the wrong character counts? I haven't experienced it for almost two days now, could it be already fixed?

Anyway, this is Google's YouTube help forum I mentioned: google[dot]com / support/forum/p/youtube?hl=en

They already have quite a few complaints about this topic. If a fuckload of users would flood it with only this topic, it'd probably gain some interest. :D

Even americas domestic policy is somewhat dangerous to others.

PUshing of SKorea on issue of prostitution creating draconian measures that people there protest often.

Pushing the drug war in canada and mexico.

List goes on :(

because it can be amusing to political junkies even though it may also want to have you pulling your hair out. Its odd, but thats how it is for some of us.

Most importantly, what happens with america affects the world sadly, due to its GDP and imperialist nature.
