Cenk going in on Obama being a closet Right Winger

Thought people knew this by now.
People in here cheer leading and standing politicians need to wake up.

I'm sorry, but Cenk is making a bunch of assumptions. I think a lot of the time you guys are so distrustful of politicians (justifiably) to the point where you just accept rants. I see some guys in here dapping and replying that should know how to think better than that. I like Cenk but a lot of times he goes on making assumptions and taking comments to justify the stances or positions he believes. Often times it may give caution but he lacks the concrete details to prove it.
He has no basis for saying that Medicare and all those things will be cut. He is saying that because there is always that fear. I've always said that Obama has governed to the center-right, but Cenk is drawing conclusions just because he doesn't know how else the deal could be deficit neutral. If what he claims is actually enacted then Democrats will lose even more seats during the 2014 midterm elections and they'll pretty much be done. That's political suicide. He just screams out things like "yeah they'll take out your mortgage credit and that other credit." At the very least, get details before going nuts. This is what Obama said:
Cenk needs to calm down. He overstates his own ability to make logical inferences on a regular basis. He could be right, but it certainly won't be because that statement right there told us. He's a natural skeptic like I am, but I don't say shyt without something more concrete than that. PAUL RYAN? That's the comparison he made? Ryan CLEARLY told you what he was about to do and how he would do it and you saw how it was bad. This is not remotely similar.

I respect Cenk for his ability to call BS on a lot of things, I just think he's reaching on this one. While I agree that Obama is essentially a socially liberal Rebpublican from an issues standpoint, he never stated explicitly that his cuts would include Medicare (not saying they won't). I think this one of those things we'll have to wait and see what happens.
sounds like most people who agree with Cenk. LOL@ not reading an EXCERPT of the actual statement Cenk is complaining about. Then again, I don't read 99% of the stuff that gets posted either
I remember during the debt ceiling fiasco obama agreed to cuts on medicare and SS for a plan.
Then again, I don't read 99% of the stuff that gets posted either
This is essentially what cenk is saying. Its very rare that
gets something wrong.

bro, I dont even f*ck with the Yung Turks like that, breh sound liked he was trying to play off the paranoia swag, in attempt get more viewers.........
Even if some of the details are true, like I always say, you can't finance a presidency off bake sales and sympathetic people donating $20 here & there....
What is Cenk's background anyway, I've never known what he is a student of?
wharton business school and columbia law.
knew I should have done a background check:
Alma mater University of Pennsylvania (BS)
Columbia University (JD)
but:
He worked as an attorney in Washington, D.C. and New York before beginning his career as a political commentator. Originally a moderate Republican, he has since become a staunch critic of both the Republican and Democratic parties, and has adopted strongly progressive and liberal views.[5][6]
Net worth Increase US$ 3.5 million
This all I need to know......
dude is a flip flopper.....
Well that would explain his bullshytting ability.

I be winkin' through the scope
So you have to be partisan your whole life? You can't change your outlook by living in a place like DC? I dont even watch the Turks or anything, but that seems somewhat unfair to me
