“Come on, can you be this pathetic? This much of a loser, that you thought the Republicans wouldn’t do obstruction, that they wouldn’t block every important piece of legislation that you had with a filibuster? Nobody can be that stupid Harry Reid, please tell me you’re not that dumb are you? No, no. Harry Reid is paid to lose. He’s a professional loser.” — Cenk Uygur
“ [Obama] is deeply, deeply conservative. I mean, every time I get in a discussion with progressives, liberals, Democrats, “Hey, you know, why do think Obama picked Mary Jo White” who clearly says, she is on the record as saying, I will not prosecute any of the banks. Gee, why did he pick the person who will actually go after the drug dispensary raids, why did he break the record on immigration deportations… And so why does he do all that? Maybe the answer is super obvious: he believes those things. He is not a progressive, he is a conservative. I know, but the thing is that’s so obvious it cannot be uttered in polite society… It’s not to say that President Obama is as right-wing as the lunatics in the Republican Party at this point and he’s obviously not racist like them, et cetera. And I’m sure that in his heart of hearts he would rather have gay marriage — now, the fact is he swung on that issue because of campaign donors and so he doesn’t really care — but if he had his druthers he’d be… so it’s not to say that he isn’t socially liberal in some ways, but when it comes to the institutional power whether it’s the military or it’s the banks etc… every instinct he has, every bone in his body says, “Go with the Establishment. What does the Establishment say? I totally agree with you Establishment, I love you Establishment.” And that’s what I mean by deeply conservative. ”

“ These are not set to expire. For the rest of time people making under $450,000 are gonna have the Bush tax cuts which now should be called the Obama tax cuts. And they brag about that as though, like, We got you tax cuts. No, no, no, you knuckleheads, tax cuts are a Republican idea and we had them under Bush and they didn’t work. The tax cuts do not bring you a better economy, that is not how it works. We had the Clinton-era rates during Clinton, we had 22 million jobs created. We did tax cuts under Bush, we lost jobs. So it doesn’t work. Stop bragging about it; it’s not a progressive idea. ”

“ Bush said it in his speech today, he said, “Democracies don’t have a history of war”. Except we’re a democracy, and you’re the one who started this war! What do you mean democracies don’t have a history of war? Does no one get that irony? ”

“ This guy is such a force of evil in this country. I can’t begin to describe it to you… people don’t get it. They just—like, the American people have no idea how truly dark Dick Cheney is. I’m not sure we’ve had a force inside the American government as dark as Dick Cheney, ever—ever. Every single terrible thing that has happened leads back to him, whether it ranges from terrible ideas with disastrous consequences to things that are truly immoral. ”
