Are You the Change You've Been Waiting For?

[a4finger]

wow, there are so many stupid people out there

[rabidchevy]

sheeple nuff said

[themeatloaf360]

this video shows the idiocy of the masses. they did elect a demagogue, so figures, right?

[PeanutButterGamer]

Hahaha, yeah now that Obama is the prezz will all behave and be nice!!!

[samuils]

Hey Obama said all supporters of his, should jump off the bridge

[kaizillaboy]

The country is still much better off than if the Republicans were in charge. Thank GOD the Repukes and the Obama-hatin imbeciles aren't even on the radar. They have the audacity to talk all this shit when they're still looking for WMDs.

[renegade2142]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again....this country is doomed.

[NameNotaNumber]

Like, Obama is like, totally awesome and stuff...and like now that he's our leader I'm going to totally do my homework on time and keep my bedroom tidy and stuff, you know, like and stuff. Er....can you guys like buy me some cigarettes?

[yammyspeed13]

They should have started with cleaning up the National Mall after they destroyed it.

[SCSUguy85]

Kid at 1:40 "And I uhh and he uhh has been talking more about the global warming a lot too, and I uhh ::picks nose:: and ive been using a lot less electricity and stuff. ::reporter:: do you think you would have used more if McCain had been elected. "I dont think I woulda thought about it" come on really is this the best that our nation has to offer the future generation if so we are FUCKED then and we deserve to get taken over SERIOUSLY AMERICA HAS BECOME A NATION OF RETARTDS

[hohihoigf]

Listening to those people on the video was PAINFUL

They care about 'going green' and 'community service' -- which frankly seem to me to be self-indulgences of the upper to upper middle class.

That the environment and community service are their major concerns suggests to me that they are stupid.

"Real" major concerns include government stealing, inflation, and war.

[IslandSpiceDreamin]

we're more united ????

LOL ... obama ALWAYS wanted this country more & more divided and chaotic. He accomplished this all thru his campaign, inciting class warfare. Don't be fooled. He WANTS chaos, and he WANTS half of our nation (and more) to be his ignorant, gimme sheeple (jealous, lazy, entitled, angry sheeple). Thank goodness, we of the other half, have BRAINS & COMMON SENSE. And WE shall rise up.

[EvilDandy]

Curious. They would be more active towards the guy they agree with and less active for the one that they disagree with. If you agree with someone the only action you can take aside from patting them on the back is obedience. Sounds like they are all eager to serve.

[aaronbreault]

"I'm going to be more opinionated."

Classic.

[thisisrealyo]

This makes me sad.

[rascalferret]

people voted for the younger black man thats all..dems had the female or the negro..how could they possibly lose?

[KcKommunistisch]

Wow, these people have NO ACTUAL reason to not like McCain.

Obama is sexay, so "i can watch him" and vote for him. Is this not the downfall of democracy?

[heywoodjablohme]

The future of America @ 1:40. LOL!

"No" = (We wrongfully think that McCain stands for less of a welfare state. Plus, none of us have jobs. We're socialist parasites, so we wrongfully think that government would have shrunk under McCain, and that we'd at least have had to limit our naked grasping for other people's money. Now that our homeboy is in office, we can shred the Bill of Rights, and act as if it's our right to steal the savings of every single American, via deficit spending!)

[SoCalCMH]

how nice to see all the o-bots will continue to take their marching orders.

[meanjean29]

This is one reason the Federal gov't, as established under the Constitution, WAS strictly limited.

Without limits (we're there, sadly), who knows what mischief the gov't might get involved in with imbeciles like these voting.  There's nothing left to temper the effects of, well, populism.

[billybumpbump]

Morons.

[ScrewballSpectre]

Stunning.

[Elasaltaculos]

the teenagers seem to have the most sense of all the people interviewed. Even though their reasons are still a bit dumb.

[DoomHippie]

Wow.

[kimpony]

What a bunch of idiots (on the video, that is).

[freesk8]

Churchill said that the best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

[Saiguy]

Truer words have never been said... sadly

[meanjean29]

Times have changed. It would probably take only 20 seconds now. I'd wager none of these numbskulls could name their House rep. or one Senator from their state. If you asked them to name a single policy proposal by their hero you'd be answered by a blank stare.

[freesk8]

Churchill also said that democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others that have been tried from time to time.

[TomStrong08]

That woman one minute in is the sort of annoying bitch I've been annoyed with for decades.

[dwayne0t]

@ 1:04 "I would look at our leader". Leader??! -- I'm following his leader!

This is THE problem. Perhaps its human nature to give "leaders" your blind trust and we'll always be stuck with this bullshit system.

[ic300x]

well if anyone was wondering

i would have voted republican

i would have voted Ron Paul

i would have voted democrat

i would have voted dennis kucinich

[OneRottenTomato]

I like Obama and all, but it's just sad that it had to take ushering in a new president with a different view to make these people make the right choices.

"What? Obama is against killing foreigners so that my gas is cheaper and I can drive my Hummer? I guess maybe I should stop then."

Retards.

[CKBBontabeachbum]

@ 1:53  = 1 hott mammasan ! No-lie !

[shiddy67]

Typical nigger lovers.

[eekdog2005]

Fluoridated water is working wonders.

[MetaMorphy]

That just doesn't make sense. Why should your decisions on things like this be influenced by who won an election?

[ggfourlife]

Wow. Liberals are hilarious. All you can do is laugh.

[adelyn123]

All talk and no action. I'd bet my entire savings only 1 in 100 people will actually volunteer for community service. They will sign the praises but when it gets down to actually doing - they'll just have more excuses. That is the typical democrat. "Do as I say, not as I do!" Just ask Obama and Gore - they are perfect examples!

[minute9]

Turn the camera around. If McCain had been elected, would this needledick still be out with his mike pestering his political opponents with petty cheapshot questions?

Answer: Yes, it's what needledicks consistently do.

[Aberlour]

So everyone must fall into line with the Democrats or the Republicans, and if they don't, they're needledicks?

[hendricksfamilyny]

Classic. "If McCain had been elected, would you still serve in the community?" "No."

What a bunch of losers. This is what comes from state sanctioned indoctrination, er, education.

[midwestcharm]

What happened to America?

[abarzilai664]

Geuss volunteerism has become hip and trendy. Sad when service to your country becomes just another fashion statement especially when the party you like takes control. I wonder if four years from now that girl who vowed to buy a hybrid would actually have it by then.

[makeinstall]

These people are so full of crap.

They simply fell for the hype of the now elusive "change and hope" that was going to sweep the nation as soon as Obama took office.

Well, all we have now is the change in our pockets and hope that we will still have our jobs next year.

[Johnny4787]

Typical mental midget Obomunists!

[mattsf2003]

Video of mindless 20 somethings, with no life experience, following exactly what they're told to do by liberal teachers & friends. No minds of their own yet.

When they hit their 30's & 40's, they'll be conservatives....it ALWAYS happens. Right now, they're just babies with no knowledge. Leave these questions to the adults.

[xWhiteAmericanDevilx]

By the gods these people are idiots.

"I'm just gonna like, use less electricity now probably." LMAO!

[lsh3rd]

We're so screwed its not even funny.

[okturus]

Neo-conservatives have lost the youth completely. Their days are over.

[esthier]

If you actually study the issue, you see that youth ALWAYS trend liberal, but then they grow up, and demographics change drastically.

[Theopolitical]

"you see that youth ALWAYS trend liberal, but then they grow up"

Yes, and greed takes hold. People want to free the slaves, give their women the right to vote, let the gays marry... until they find out that slaves are cheap labor, you can control women if they don't have as many rights, and you can gain influence with others by tempting them with the option to suppress people (suppress people by Gods will of course).

[esthier]

Wow, what a simplification of a mischaracterization of the entire conservative political mindset.

Lincoln was a Republican, by the way. It's actually how the party was formed.

Liberals, on the other hand, simply use the government to check your taxes if you dare question the leader, or like Clinton, get you audited by the IRS. It's much more effective for controlling people than playing on fears of God.

[Theopolitical]

"Lincoln was a Republican"

Lincoln was a liberal.

[esthier]

Sometimes Republicans are.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Lincoln was not a liberal at all

[Theopolitical]

"Lincoln was not a liberal at all"

"a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties"

Opposing the Mexican-American war and freeing the slaves isn't enough "reform" for you?

He was even the first president to enact a personal income tax (he RAISED taxes) called the "Revenue Act of 1861".

He was a tax and spend, pro big government, give minorities rights liberal.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Is that the 1860 definition of a liberal, or a 2009 one?

[Theopolitical]

2009... by 2009 definitions Lincoln is liberal; by 1860 definitions Lincoln is so liberal that many states ceded from the US and fought tooth and nail in one of our bloodiest wars against him (today's "conservatives" are only angry enough to vote "no"...)

[ToddonCapeCod]

Oh come off it.

Put away the Liberalism Handbook, or Eric Alterman's idiotic book, if that's what you're reading.

And we're voting "No" for good reason: The socialism Obama and the Dems are imposing is destroying our country. Like asking arsonists to rebuild the buildings they have already burned down

[Theopolitical]

"The socialism"

Like the United States military, one of our most highly funded socialist programs?

They collect taxes from everyone, even people who might have their own bodyguards or personal armies (ie. they don't need the army to protect them) and redistribute that wealth to soldiers in order to provide "universal defense"...

[ToddonCapeCod]

What the FUCK are you shooting into your veins?!?!?!

Do you even know the purpose of the military?!

[Theopolitical]

"Do you even know the purpose of the military"

To keep us alive?

Do you know the purpose of health care?

[ToddonCapeCod]

Government run healthcare will make us sicker!

Has any socialist program the government imposed on us been successful? Welfare, Medicare, Social Security?

What makes you think healthcare will be any better?

Is it better in Britian? Canada? Who pays for theirs? Hmmm?

[Theopolitical]

"Government run healthcare will make us sicker"

I did not say the government should run health care, but they should provide universal health care. Look at Germany's system (we can do even better than the Germans...).

What makes you think the military is any better under socialist control (as it is right now)?

[ToddonCapeCod]

Sorry, that's your opinion, and one that I do not share.

Socialist program... how fucked up is that?!?!

[Theopolitical]

"Socialist program... how fucked up is that"

So you are saying that the US military is publicly traded, or that it is run by a company, dictator or king?

The US military certainly isn't capitalist.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Its not socialist, bud.

Sorry, but you can peddle your twaddle elsewhere

[chucksheen]

lol

you are crazy

how is it NOT socialism? the TRUE definition

how is he "peddle twaddle"?, stick that back in your pants and keep that crap to your self

watch The Constitution Class by Michael Badnarik ASAP before you infect any young minds

watch a youtube clip called "Thanksgiving and Socialism" to define TRUE socialism/collectivism vs individualism

[ToddonCapeCod]

Idiot.

Maybe if you read a little more closely, and realize who and what you're responding to, you wouldn't make the obvious mistake you did

[hendricksfamilyny]

Guess you've never received health care in Germany. I have, and I would choose what we have here over that any day.

[ToddonCapeCod]

If liberals are those who "favor, a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties" why was it the Republicans who got the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed, and no Democrats did?

[Theopolitical]

"why was it the Republicans who got the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed, and no Democrats did"

Because at that point Democrats were the conservatives and Republicans were the liberals (Republicans were the new party after all).

You keep using the word "liberal" and "Democrat" as if they are interchangeable (they are not). There are conservative Democrats.

Ron Paul is supposedly a Republican even though he doesn't have the same policies as George Bush or John McCain...

[ToddonCapeCod]

Uh, no. Wrong. Republicans were always conservatives, but if you want to keep believing your revisionism, go ahead.

After all, Teddy Kennedy today, keeps getting angry whenever conservatives today talk about how his brother talked about tax cuts, so the Dems couldn't have been conservative back then -- Teddy certaintly doesn't think so

[shabazahad]

Vote totals for the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Totals are in "Yea-Nay" format:

The Senate version:[9] * Democratic Party: 46-21 (69%-31%) * Republican Party: 27-6 (82%-18%)

The Senate version, voted on by the House:[9] * Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%-37%) * Republican Party: 136-35 (80%-20%)

[HarryNRubin]

wow what horrible people...

[AlreadyKnownAsX2]

Haha... What sheep. Idiots

[Mumakata]

Obamabots at their finest. What a group of idiots.

[ObamaChronicles]

What a bunch of idiots...... lol....

[voxman77]

Is any of this a surprise to anyone at all?

[voxman77]

....annnnd we have proven what exactly with this video?

[copenhagen1221]

That Democrats are dumb.

[jfk60]

Ah, moonbats.

[CountArtha]

A lot of those people sounded drunk.

Alarmingly, those two fourteen-year-olds were the drunkest.

[joedoufu]

sunshine patriots

[Morrakiu]

Here's your change, guys.

Bomb Pakistan.

Spend like a drunken liberal.

Continue the war in Afghanistan.

Expand Bush's faith-based initiatives.

Throw money at every conceivable problem and build up more debt.

Change you can believe in.

[abarzilai664]

Wonder how an Obamanoid might respond? Like this: "Hey the Pakis won't play ball so we have teach them a thing or two and Afghanistan is the GOOD WAR THE GOOD WAR not Iraq NOT IRAQ. And so what if we build up the deficit, this debt would be a good debt cause it's in service to America and when the prosperity that chimpy wrecked will return it will be paid back. So fuck off repug we are the REAL PATROITS AND WE WILL BRING REAL CHANGE."

[Morrakiu]

I'd love to see some of them tell me that. Then I'd kindly inform them that they're exactly like the minority that still supported Bush during the 8th year, and Obama's fiscal and foreign policies are mirror images of George Bush's. Next thing you know, the democrats will be masturbating to the War in Pakistan and the republicans will finally oppose a war,

[VengerDFW]

Lovely - community spirit, but only when their guy is in charge. What a bunch of navel gazing self important asshats.

[MarkGauvreau]

It's all about feelings, feelings, feelings. Dingbats.

[JayAreDubya]

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

[Spectreman]

This is exactly how we got to where we are. You repeat the words "Hope" "Change" and "Failed Policies" and the mass of unwashed and barely educated will believe. Throw in a little vote fraud and complacent, fawning journalists and voila! USSA!

I hate these liberal do gooders. Complete morons, the lot of them.

[FaaQ]

thanks baby boomers, this is the generation you created. a bunch of self indulgent retards.

[jr565]

So these tards are only altruistic under democratic leadership?

[AlbanesePatrick]

The country is screwed!

[wmgblake]

Idiots. These people don't know anything except they want to take your money and give it to people they think are more deserving. People like ACORN.

[Elasaltaculos]

Pay attention to politics? Perhaps you shouldn't have voted then bieotch

[Gringao22]

At my home, we've:

* Put in a high-efficiency furnace

* Replaced the windows with high-efficiency, low-E units

* Replaced the A/C with a 15-SEER unit

* Gone to all CFL bulbs on non-dimmer circuits

* Replaced outdoor lights with sensor-based models to save electricity

* Replaced our washer and dryer with high-efficiency front-loaders

Amazingly, we did this all under the evil Chimpy regime and without government prompting. But I'm still the enemy because I did it out of GREED.

[munseym]

That's like buying a Honda hybrid. It's a hybrid, but you can't spot the "earth friendly" car from a distance the way you can a Prius.

[MooseOfReason]

munseym, You'd only buy a hybrid car if other people on the road knew you were driving a hybrid?

[munseym]

I haven't bought one because I'm still not convinced that the TCO is lower than that of a normal car. But many do buy the Prius specifically because of the status symbol, while rejecting other hybrids because they are not easily recognizable.

[122369]

OMG this is hysterical! One pointed question twists them all in knots.

[csteinmayer]

"Ladies and gentlemen I give you your moron(s)".

[skealoha86]

Girl at 0:41 did not vote for change. She sticks out like a sore thumb among the other people who have been made to look foolish in the video - she's truly altruistic. Hopefully everyone here knows that that's a good thing.

[kyleb2112]

Liberals always think they're so altruistic, but every time it's independently measured conservatives trounce them on charitable giving.

Which, by the way, means giving your own money, not confiscating someone else's.

[skealoha86]

Money is not a true indicator of altruism.

[esthier]

Conservatives also top liberals in volunteering and every other standard of altruism, even when you adjust to include only non-religious projects.

It's in line with both political thoughts. Liberals want government to take care of people, whereas conservatives believe people should help themselves and that government is horrible at helping people.

[Deepstarr7020]

The way you're talking is a sheer indicator that you don't do shit ,you just rant about liberals.

[esthier]

Right, cause it's not possible to site legitimate facts on youtube AND give back to the community.

Please, don't be so one dimensional. It's boring.

[Theopolitical]

"Conservatives also top liberals"

You do know that no "conservative" ticket got even 5% of the vote in 2008?

There was the Republicans (neo-con John McCain) and the Democrats (liberal Barack Obama) but no "Conservatives" of note (no, Ron Paul is not worth noting in the 2008 election).

[esthier]

There's no such thing as a conservative ticket. Conservative and liberal are not political parties. Democrat and Republican are.

[Theopolitical]

"There's no such thing as a conservative ticket"

I mean a ticket that is conservative (has conservative policies)... not a ticket entitled "Conservative".

[esthier]

By that standard, Obama can't rightly be called a liberal either, though he's the closest we've come in a long time.

[Raycheetah]

All the fine young ignoramouses. They are our future. Bleh.

=-[.]-=

[ariesvids]

The last one out turn the lights off. We are finished as a country if these are our future leaders.

[Allen58mi]

gawd. this is painful to watch.

[Kekauket]

Huh. "Revolutionaries" really DON'T have any sense of irony.

[JMartins1981]

They're like passive aggressive litte children who's been holding their breath until they've gotten what they've wanted.

[unodepoalli]

Nick Gillespie and Reason TV Rock.

[ferrozm]

united in government we all fail!!!

[st4nd4u]

morons......wow

[Dan2263165]

So they wouldn't have done any of this stuff if McCain had won just to spite him? Either that or they're just retarded...

[krypekeeper]

kid at 1:37 is fuckin retarded, THERE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING the earth has cooled 1 degree since 1997

[wwwdotLPdotorg]

krypkekeeper

The worse part is that the person did not realized that McCain has a massive global warming plan.

[marneedear]

I dont feel united. Is there something wrong with me? Hrm.

[truthadvocate]

I wish people would get informed with multiple perspectives, BEFORE they got active. Obama talked about ____ so I'm going to do more of that. Lemmings.

[tenyrsgone]

YES.

[whoo689]

NO???? NO??????? What a bunch of brain-dead citizens. Who cares who's president? Why should that matter in choices like these?

And is it just me, or does it seem silly that we feel like we need THE PRESIDENT, the head of state, to promote service??? That's just asinine.

[wwwdotLPdotorg]

I think there should be an intelligence test in order to be able to vote. Just a few basic questions on both of the candidates and name one 3rd party candidate and one of their ideas.

[toolshed333]

The liberals would call that racist or anti-poverty, because apparently only white middle-class people can pass standardized tests...

[wwwdotLPdotorg]

toolshed333

True because liberals know that they need more unintelligent people to vote for them.

[sk84sp33d]

I am there with you... What the heck is wrong with people? BTW, I wonder what they think service is?

[Deepstarr7020]

Whatever makes people get involved should be good enough,stop judging and  contribute something.

[esthier]

And the fact that their involvement is conditioned on who's in the White House doesn't bother you? Max, Obama's only got eight years. People like that will not make a dent in anything they get involved with if that's the attitude they have.

[manusaini666]

and where is that "involvement" and volunteering which was binding these lemmings together. It faded into oblivion right after their messiah's nomination.

when are they going to volunteer to share their wealth "ipods, xboxs, and other cool gadgets" with the homeless people. i have not seen one person to step up and walk the talk. bunch of liberal jerks, thats all!!!

[esthier]

Besides, your comment is in itself judgmental. For all you know, everyone here already contributes something. I know I do. So speak for yourself.
