[Scavah]

Barack Obama (Bar-ock Oh-bah-muh): The Black One



[Theespada13]

This is actually useful information.

[LeTempleDuSoleil]

It's alright because our politicians aren't even informed either. lol

[SuperSetCA]

Sooo timely.

[Ryak1234]

Bar-ock Oh-bah-muh.

[reGneaZ]

after all that you told us, there is no excuse to not not vote, hahahahahahaha

[Kyran11111]

Im an independent lol

[ARTISTofPORTRAIT]

its funny, cause people actually do these things.

[dharmaatdawn]

Very useful info. But where exactly in the conversation should I mention the swing states

[xJoeEDangerouslyx]

Ever notice the non-opinions are rife here on YT?

[AdmiralBetas]

@xJoeEDangerouslyx I have also noticed that thing you said.

[MrSafetymeeting]

This is why it makes no sense for America to pretend to like democracy. Most don't know enought to be trusted to vote and even worse, they are easily swayed by TV bullshit.

[anonymousman555]

@MrSafetymeeting This is a fake news story, so nothing in this piece should be taken seriously.

[MrSafetymeeting]

@anonymousman555 Thank you,Mr Obvious.That doesn't change my point.Americans "learn" by watching tv and everyone on TV is full of shit.That's why Americans are SO STUPID.

[anonymousman555]

@MrSafetymeeting I agree with you, they do call it "Television Programming" for a reason, but why is this the piece of television that you choose to attack, this is comedy. Why I chose to respond to you is because i think everyone on YouTube that is not from the United States feels the need to attack the people here because they are just as brainwashed as we are. Your government puts poisons in your food and your media programs your people as well.

[MrSafetymeeting]

@anonymousman555 It's not an attack.

it's a comment. Nobody at the onion reads this stuff.And it's not just comedy,it's satire that makes people think,sometimes.

[anonymousman555]

@MrSafetymeeting What does this make people think?

[MrSafetymeeting]

@anonymousman555 I don't know ,maybe, elections.Maybe the complacency of American citizens.Are you on drugs?lol

[anonymousman555]

@MrSafetymeeting I'm just trying to understand what you are talking about.

[MrSafetymeeting]

@anonymousman555 LOL

[Berzerkerevl]

so sad but so true

[SeeWhatDuncanSees]

...or, you could just eeny-meeny-miny-moe and f*** up the country.

[DarkPanthera]

I actually took this seriously. i was thinking 'wow, they are so laid back about the elections, but that's cool'

[Mysterieux319]

"DID YOU KNOW? Women Can Vote Too!"

"DID YOU KNOW? Animals Cannot Vote"

[MaceAries]

Take a few hours off work to "vote" - just nap in your car!

[ShaithMaster]

that's the guy in the hanes commercial with Michael Jordan

[WailingCoconuts]

Is it just me or does this Dan guy's voice sound vaguely like Alf?

[hamiltonjsh]

DID YOU KNOW? ANIMALS CANNOT VOTE

[lolofdoom]

IT'S MICHAEL!!!!

[jgrig123]

I like the did you know at the bottom right.

[AcousticUplift]

What a great parody of voter apathy, not just relevant to the US either. I think the four evasive responses are great. Really hit the nail on the head 'There's no real difference between the parties anyway'. The lazy, uninformed man's get-out clause. Very intelligent comedy.

[UnknownXV]

The USA uses an electoral delegation.

Your vote literally has no impact. Electoral delegates in each state decide who is elected. It's such a ridiculous voting system.

It should be a simple tally of all of our votes.

[IcyScythe]

@UnknownXV it still has impact. Only a couple times in US history has a delegate voted against the wishes of their states' people.

But I totally agree on the electoral system being outdated and useless now... states shouldn't be worth more/less "points" either.

[sharinganclan213]

this was funny, but on a serious note, voting should be taken seriously since the government controls the value of the money you earn. The dollar is losing value FAST and you should vote for people who wish to keep it the most valuable currenc in the world. Unless, you care not about what your dollar can buy, and are not about food prices, then do not vote :-)

[Unguidedone]

now i know

[KOLIN25]

i did this exact thing. ppl kept telling me to vote im 18. but im really like wtf for. i dont care whos the mayor they all doing themselves u know government bs. but what i did is they gave me a big card folder thing to fill out. lmao. i told the lady when she gave it to me if they had in in spanish lmao. i took the election card and use it to break up weed. so theres my vote. legalize it.

[langa470505]

@KOLIN25 if you really wanted them to legalize it, you could have found some representatives (plenty of them out there) that support the legalization of marijuana, and vote for them. That's why voting shouldn't get taken for granted. It allows people like you to voice their opinion through a organized process so that it can actually happen. If all the people like you voted, (who supported weed), we'd actually be closer to legalizing it than we are now.

[KOLIN25]

@langa470505 dude your right. honestly we (group of associates) have discussed about this alot. maybe not in legal terms using laws and stuff. but dont you think that there are way more people like senators who in everyway oppose the usage of weed. and even so if we did find someone who went for it as soon as he she was elected he she would turn their back on us. its happened before. i know thers people who are 200% legalize it and want it to be good but its always that group that shits on evry1

[NosoCOMINSOON]

God its probably so awkward on these onion sets as soon as they say "cut" lol.

[beatme101]

@TylerDurdenMakesSoap

YouTube was never great. Before Google bought it, all the videos were really really bad quality. You could barely tell what was going on in most of them. Now, they are slightly higher quality, but they're covered in ads too, leaving you still unable to tell what's going on in them.

[mcampo21]

hahahhaha 1:26

"Did you know, Women can vote too!"

[Justification75]

Sarah Palin must have watched this and taken it seriously

[Songwriter4God]

@Justification75 At least she knows how to spend money and do thinks without a teleprompter. ;-)

[MEareCAT]

@Songwriter4God -.- Sarah Palin is an animal abuser.

[Songwriter4God]

@MEareCAT Since when? Where's your sources and how? For hunting? If you eatm eat you're such a hypocrite. Last I checked, animals killed each other anyway.

[Justification75]

@Songwriter4God how many times did you reply to my comment? lol

[Songwriter4God]

@Justification75 I deleted one and added something, so one really.

[farkennel1]

the onion stole $100 out of my credit card account...DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT DETAILS! BE WARNED!

[lb8068]

@9000Robin So am I, but I'm disappointed at how they've been so hypocritical since after the election.

[MultiRump]

@sacredgeometry my temper did not raise from reading that becuz u said fuck christians and fuck muslims. if u only said fuck Jews than i would be angry. but since ur saying u hate "every" religion, that means u hate almost everyone. and i can deal with dat.

[sleonardani]

i dont actualy belive this is braodcast over a national network

politics involves everything, gas prices, imports, exports, tax, roads,

to avoid politics is to aviod doing ANYTHING!!!

f*ckin comical

[Redfoday]

@sleonardani dumb ass. its the onion

[9000Robin]

I'm a libdem. I take it straight from the horse's mouth

[MultiRump]

i hate the onion cuz of that antisemitic remark in there other vid.

[XxKuRoTsUbAsAxX]

@MultiRump If you take anything seriously from The Onion, then you're an idiot.

[sacredgeometry]

@MultiRump Fuck jews!....fuck christians! fuck muslims! ...fuck any religion or person stupid enough to believe in that bullshit. How was that? Now your reaction should be tempered because I mean what i am saying...religious belief is fear mixed with stupidity. The onion on the other hand is satire, if you cant' understand comedy then you dont deserve to enjoy it.

[7Hook]

F**kin propaganda.

[bblan26]

@maburaho26. U made me think about this so now I'm gonna answer it. No excuse to not "not vote". If she said you have no excuse to "not vote" then she would imply TO vote. Incorrect English. She actually uses a "triple negative"

[unlimited00]

the roof caved in does not

[WatchingJesusDance]

I'm an Independent.

[maburaho26]

Not not vote means to vote. Isn't this whole skit about not voting? Why is she using a double negative here?

[TheXV22]

@maburaho26 she said, there is no reason not not to vote

which means: there is no reason to vote

using ur logic.

[kylematthewdiduck]

@TheXV22 Actually, we'll break it down. We begin with 'NO REASON not NOT to vote.' Take away one negative at a time. "NO REASON not ...to vote" implies you should vote. Take away another negative to cancel each other. "NO REASON to vote", which means don't vote. Thus, she is saying there is no reason to [not [cancels] not] vote. No reason to vote.

[pkersoul]

the roof caved in ..hahahahha

[zach2408dk]

Or just read the paper until your annoyed enough to have views, like, "reading the paper sucks".
