FUCKING !!! Cenk making fun of the President on air

[bigdarryl]

QUOTE: The President has a big mic to fight back REALLY!!!! when is he going to start using it in 2017 LOL LOL LOL ASSHOLE!!!

[erinlough]

1. Well...

when is he going to use it? I don't expect him to walk in Wisconsin, but have you heard anything from him? Don't get me wrong, I voted for him. I'm just wondering what he's doing.

[Thrill]

2. What do you want him to say?

Elections have consequences. It appears there was no way to stop the GOP in WI. People should have voted for the people who cared about them in the state. Lets not forget, this is the state that left Feingold hanging by the balls. A true fighter for the cause

[frylock]

19. so do elections have consequences, or is he the president of everybody?

because it can't be both ways.

[SkyDaddy7]

61. I am personally glad Obama is not...

getting totally involved because all that will happen is he will be look at as meddling in state politics...The media would go nuts & it would hurt more than it would help because the story would shift from away from the wonderful sights we saw in WI of the people fighting for their rights to all about President Obama.

[bigdarryl]

4. well we have the rethugs in Washington trying to repeal health care

they have a proposed budget to destroy 700,000 jobs and you ask where he is

[Cali_Democrat]

3. I'm tired of Obama's cowering

Cenk is right. Go Cenk!

[WolfoftheWild]

7. you would crumble if you were in Obama's position. He is stronger than you will ever know.

[wtbymark]

10. yea OK, well the longer he stands silent...

the more the cookie crumbles. Don't assume what you think you know

[WolfoftheWild]

16. The cookie's not crumbling. the Unions aren't going anywhere. the Repigs have blown it this time.

They think that by doing this they will decrease Union participation in 2012.

They have just assured an increase of Union participation across the board in all Electoral activities between now and 2012.
They've just won the right to Town Hall meetings filled with protesters for 2 years.
They've just guaranteed that all the people in the Union, their relatives and friends, and a very sympathetic public will be speaking with their votes in 2012. Many of whom didn't vote or voted Republican in 2010.

The Cookie's not crumbling.
In fact, there's going to be a big ol' bake sale!

[provis99]

40. oh, nonsense. the unions were completely defeated.

Unions will disappear completely in the next ten years, as they have been shown to be a paper tiger.

53. If you seriously think that

then you have not been paying attention to what's going on here.

The people are mobilized. They are angry. We will not back down. This fight will go on. Recall efforts are already underway, and the very legality of everything the Repugs are doing it being called into question. More than half the state is against Walker. The Repugs are scrambling, desperate, knowing they have overplayed their hand.

Tyrants always fall.

This is far from over.

[golfguru]

60. I think you mean government employee unions?

[Myrina]

37. Yes, it's that 47 level multi dimensional Obama chess at work ...

... in a parallel existence outside the matrix, Neo-Obama is really kicking Agent Walker's ass right about now.


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: The true believers will never WAKE THE FUCK UP! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[frylock]

23. tiger's blood courses through his veins

[woo me with science]

29. He's HANDSOME, too! nt

[Fuddnik]

62. Tiger Woods?

Or Tony the Tiger?

[WorseBeforeBetter]

47. Hahahaha...did you lift that from a crappy Elizabeth Gilbert book?

HE'S STRONGER THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW ... SWOON!1211!!!

[WolfoftheWild]

50. You wouldn't have posted if you weren't enthralled. Admit it.

[StarsInHerHair]

58. hell no

nt

[golfguru]

59. Obama voting record in Illinois senate has the most

"present" votes than any others. He does not believe in taking sides
or rabble rousing.

[Autumn]

5. I think it's a good question

The President has a very BIG mic.

[Webster Green]

6. Cenk rules.

Obama? Eh, not so much.

[NorthCarolina]

8. I don't see how that can be construed as "making fun of the President". nt

[Arkana]

9. What a good use of Cenk's time.

Instead of devoting his show to the injustice just visited on Wisconsin's working class--such as providing links to recall petitions, donation sites, talking to people on the ground--he decides to bad-temperedly take potshots at the President.

What a waste of a time slot. Bring Keith back.

[wtbymark]

11. you obviously didn't watch it

if you think the whole show was dedicated to one 30sec QUESTION of 'where is the Prez on this'
-just give up on trying to understand politics, its worthless on you
go back to playing video games or something

[bigdarryl]

12. what do you expect from a former rethug never trust them

[Bluerthanblue]

14. but it's so much more fun to shoot our own-

:shrug:

we're a pretty f*&ked up society imo.

[Armstead]

28. Duh -- he devoited the first half of the show to the injustice visited on Wisconsin

More than Obama has.

[tekisui]

13. Go Cenk!

[cyberpj]

15. And I repeat...

During a 2007 campaign speech in Spartanburg, South Carolina, then-Senator Obama told supports he would fight for collective bargaining rights if he was elected president.

“And understand this: If American workers are being denied their right to organize and collectively bargain when I’m in the White House, I’ll put on a put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself. I’ll walk on that picket line with you as president of the United States.”

This video was uploaded to YouTube Nov. 3, 2007:

Anyone seen him doing much of anything he said he'd do in this clip?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

17. not even a hint.

He doesn't have the backbone for that kind of fight. The GOP knows it and is capitalizing on it.

He preaches and practices compromise, even when compromise is the worst possible choice. He wishes to be seen above the fray, only to prove to the opposition that he can't handle the heat, so he won't fight. Instead, he adapts their ideas, he adopts their platform, and he throws his base under the bus.

The candidate of 2008 showed great promise, hope and audacity.
The president of 2011 shows none of that, especially the hope or audacity bits.

[cyberpj]

18. We could dream of millions of Democrats descending on D.C. with signs demanding campaign promises

- calling out POTUS so to speak.

Yes.

We could dream.

Or at least ask for a vote refund.

I honestly DO think Hillary would have done better by this point. At least she seemed more willing to push back and she would have realized the power of the power Dems held in the first two years.

[tallahasseedem]

20. Oh please...

it was a legitimate statement. Unrecommended.

[vaberella]

21. Explain in what ways? n/t

[Armstead]

26. While Obama is out campaigning for school uniforms, er against bullying, Rome is burning.

We have yet to hear any kind of similar speech about the concerted attacks on unions and workers to bring attention to what republicans are doing throughout the country, not just in Wisconsin.

So I guess the Big Microphone is too valuable to waste on a core crisis in the country. Instead it is reserved for Clinton style 1996 campaign stunts and pep talks to business.

[vaberella]

22. It's Cenk. He's a jerk. So is Ed Schultz. You never know wha these fools want. n/t

[KeepItReal]

25. Care to back up your opinion with some facts?

eom

54. Glad to see I am not alone

I can stomach Schultz sometimes, and at time even believe he means what he says, but he is too loud and too much of a demagogue for my taste. Cenk I cannot stand at all. I hope he is a temporary fill in that time slot, MSNBC could find much better.

[Exultant Democracy]

24. Cenk hits the nail on the head.

[ClarkUSA]

27. His Republican roots are showing.

[Armstead]

30. Yep, criticizing Obama for not standing up for unions is a GOP position

Golly gee willikers....Things get curiouser and curiouser

[ClarkUSA]

31. Obama "staging what labor leaders say is the largest federal union organizing effort in history."

Read all about it:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x610295

Cenk is a GE media whore who is stupid and wrong, just like any Republican.

[Armstead]

35. yeah,yeah...he criticizes Obama and that automaticaslly earns 1 Under the Bus Ticket

[ClarkUSA]

39. No, he has his facts wrong as I've just proved, which makes him a no-nothing media whore.

Does he even bother to read a newspaper? The news story I quoted is front-page news at the Washington Post.

It totally puts the lie to everything Cenk is saying. I can't wait to see him east crow...

[Armstead]

46. Sure that's a good thing -- but hardly on the same level as the problem

Oh wait -- I forgot how forcefully Obama and the Democrats have been fighting for the Employee Free Choice Act.


Oh wait....nevermind

32. Other than your misplaced exclamation points,

I agree with your feelings about Cenk (who said Obama is more conservative than Reagan).

38. fucking free speech!

I HATE that shit :sarcasm:

[joentokyo]

42. Let us not criticize our leader. After all, he is so handsome and speaks so well.

[treestar]

43. Why should he deign to answer every such pundit?

That would take all day!

[Youth Uprising]

44. Yay for censorship?

:shrug:

[AtomicKitten]

45. No he didn't.

He was anxious, a little bit sarcastic briefly, but he kept an even tone and didn't breathe fire.

He was fine.

[Ramulux]

48. Cenk was great today

He will continue to call Obama out for the corporate stooge he is.

I love how you get pissed at Cenk for making a perfectly empirical observation.

[Union Scribe]

51. So send him an email

I'm sure if you just copy and paste that brilliant rebuttal there, he'll personally apologize.

[FrenchieCat]

52. Unfortunately, Cenk may have a bigger Microphone than does this President.....

Who appears to get talked over and cut off except for on rare occasion. Cenk gets to blather on and on every damn day on corporate television.

[cleanhippie]

55. So, when IS he going to use it?

[vroomvroom]

56. Cenk is ABSOLUTELY Right

[Modern_Matthew]

57. So? Oh, yeah. This is DU. If someone has the (D) beside their name, we can't criticize...

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:
