MSNBC's Cenk Uygar Rips Obama On Lack of Support For Wisconsin Union Employees

Share |

Rut-Row! - Hell may have frozen over. MSNBC's Cenk Uygar has called President Barack Obama to the carpet over his lack of support for Union Workers in Wisconsin.


Uygar gave the most scathing assessment of Obama's handling of the crisis. Rachel Maddow has also been critical of Obama on this issue, but nothing compared to the visably angry critique Cenk Uygar offered for Obama's complete 180 from campaign promises he made in 2007.


The video clip below highlights just such a campaign promise where then Sen. Obama said the following:



“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 comfortable pair of shoes myself. I’ll walk on the picket line with you as President of the United States of America.”

Kudos to Uygar for saying what others in the liberal are too afraid or not allowed to say when it comes to Obama's memory regarding camapaign promises. Remember GITMO anyone. Sure the list of accomplishments is larger, but that doesn't mean that we should casually lose sight of the short comings and failures.

The Young Turks Cenk Uygur Fans Rally For MSNBC Slot

Could radio personality Cenk Uygur be making the leap from progressive radio to primetime cable television like Ed Shultz and Rachel Maddow of MSNBC. Uygur, a 29 year old attorney turned political talker is not shy about his desire to fill the 10pm slot at MSNBC following Rachel Maddow.

Needless to say, I don't care who you are, Maddow is going to be one tough act to follow. That being said, Uygur is no staranger to the cable news circuit and has made appearances on MSNBC, CNN's Headline News, ABC, Fox News, and Al Jazeera just to name a few. In spite of MSNBC being whisy-washy on looking to fill the 10pm slot, they won't have to look too far if Uygur's fans have anything to say about it.

In addition to his radio show The Young Turks, Uygur also host the internet show Meet The Bloggers. Currently The Young Turks YouTube channel garners more then 3 million hits per month and being a regular viewer myself, Cenk Uygur could very well be the missing puzzle piece to complete an awesome weekday lineup at MSNBC.

ChicoBrisbane.Com certainly hopes that when and if MSNBC decides to fill the 10pm slot, they realize that Uygur was made for that spot. It's got his name written all over it.

Matthews - Olbermann - Maddow - Uygur! - 5 days a week, what more could a progressive audience ask for?
