1. k and r. I just wish those elected in d.c. could start making
this case and making it as forcefully as Cenk. Except for Grayson and the usual few progressives, they don't even seem to try to make the case--much less with any vigor or force. No wonder the voters are disenchanted.

2. Yeah, "I just wish we had a democratic president who had promised
to change all of this."

Wouldn't that be nice?

3. We need a Democratic Party again. All we got now is a DLCestic Party!
That needs to be reminded that they have NO real constituency, and that they are just buying their way in to office and forcing choices on most of us that don't want them.

6. modulate
your voice Cenk! You sound frantic and out of control.
I find him pretty tough to listen to when he rants at the top of his windpipe, though I agree with what he says, but I'm a member of the choir.

8. Maybe O'bama should take a lesson from Cenk:
Scream it from the rooftop of the white House about how fucked up the rethuglican party is. Hey, Obama, how about getting "out of control" and support us progressives instead of selling us down the river.

11. Cut & Run Ronnie.
I always enjoy reminding those who deify St Ronnie about his response to the Beirut Marine Barracks Bombing.
I have been called a liar.
Only one who took the time to Google it came back and admitted I was right.

Reagan's Middle East Policy:
If they don't want us there, we'll leave.
.

.
Makes perfect sense to me.

12. And The Truth Has Finally Been Spoken in the Mainstream Media
at least in plain terms everybody but a half-brainwashed tea-bagger can understand.

13. Amazing how reality has been bent
It is incredible how badly people perceive reality when they don’t pay any attention basic, findable, researchable, recoded, provable and logical Facts.

Now you may one of them if you believe that President Obama has not accomplished much so far. This President has Passed historic Health Care bill that has eluded administration after administration. He has brought back two U.S. citizens from north Korea. Stopping a second world depression. Some other minor things like expanding student loans to millions, stopped a war. Wall Street Reform, and raising a family. On top of all of this his shoots baskets with cool people.

like he prevented an epidemic like the Swine flu or maybe the biggest man made ecological disaster ever or won the Nobel Prize.
Yet he did it all while dealing with the worst out lash of hatred I have not seen since nineteen sixty eight. If you think about all the great men who have broken these racial barriers from Robinson to Mohammad Ali or the first kids to integrate the University of Alabama they all suffered great personal sacrifices.

Just like women have told me that they can do what ever I do but with heels on, well President Obama has done everything while being the first Black President of the United States. Talk about Hard.

You might be right though and he might not get eight years, I’ll vote for him, but what a hell of a two y

14. K&R
Great rant and exposure of Sir Ronnie, Cenk! Problem is though, there is no Democratic Party anymore. Nope, it's a goner. There are a handful who're still wandering around Washington hoping to apply some Ethical CPR on the DINOs there, but it's a hopeless cause.

- The only true Democrats left in this country are all online at places like DU. And we're too poor to run for office......

15. Most, but not all, of the Dems are corporate sellouts.
