on Obama, water fountains, dreams no longer deferred, and the future

[AssilemakaMelissa]

I have no hope in Obama (Hope has no substance, you can hope all day if you want

I VOTED THIRD PARTY

oBAMA AND mCcain voted for the patriot act

I hope Obama stops being for partial birth abortions but I know he is all for infanticide.

[ojgville]

Politics = show business for ugly people.

[gov360dotorg]

nice

[07august]

Davis is a blowhard.

[kentafication]

Obama is supported by Bankers, especially Goldman Sach. His rhetoric and media support can fool the majority of Americans. I hate being critical and pessimistic, but USA abused and lost its hedgemony. Both nationally and international in politics and economics.

[Rosetteismyname]

kentafication, You said, "Obama is supported by [Corporations]... I hate being critical and pessimistic"

You aren't you are being realistic and informed.

[newyorkbushi]

people are so silly. Everyone wants to believe in a fairy tale. Your commentary echoes my own thoughts. The sad fact is the engine that pulls our dying republic is military/industrial complex, along with thier cousins the bankers. Nothing will ever change within the present system. Things will just become more as they are.

[07august]

Davis, get a life. I do believe Ann Cappelletti has hired you to dismiss Obama & lead Youtubers to follow NWO plans to steal the souls of America for lucifer. I know you have no faith in Almighty God. I know no one who pays over $4 for a gallon of water.

Leave Christ Matthews alone. At least, Chris was able to work in a manufacturing co before & during summers while in college. None of the youth can do that now. Remember manufacturing in the US, 50s, 60s, taken away in the 70s. Get a life.

[Rosetteismyname]

07august, you think youtubers are supposed to follow NWO plans? Ha the youtubers that WON'T do that will have their accounts cancelled...the rest would just be after "being on the bad guys team"

[07august]

pitiful rosette, so you think youtubers are followers of NWO. Some are, I know Ann Cappelletti (GWB's witch aunt) runs the groups of paid posters. How much does she pay you to post?

[Rosetteismyname]

07august, I never said that youtubers are followers of NWO. I said, YouTube will be forced to censor those who are not, such as you. Those accounts will be deactivitied. Those anti-NWO vids will be removed. That is just what I think will happen...I would love to get paid to post text comments, but I don't...

[07august]

hey, rosette..., are you a poster of witch Ann Cappelletti? Barb Bush & Ann are 1/2 sisters, you know. Women gushed to have sex magick w Crowley in the 20s, just as groupies rush to have sex w rock musicians for the last 70s years. Pauline Robinson Pierce & Ann's 20 yr old Sicilian mother lured to Thelema to have sex magick w Crowley reproduced Barb & Ann in 1925. I know witch Ann, the most evil woman you would want to know, I heard Barb is just as evil. I am not worried about being censored.

[Rosetteismyname]

07August, You have me all wrong. I am against the NWO. Please understand this and re-read the comments. I have no idea who Ann Cappelletti is...I know who Barb bush is...But I have no idea what your historical things say. I see mumbo jumbo. Fine you have no problem being censored- I can relate to that. Please re-read my comments. I never stated I was for the NWO

[07august]

sorry, if I have you wrong.

FYI Ann Cappelletti & Barbara Bush are 1/2 sisters, both 83, conceived with sex magick by their mothers w Aleister Crowley at Abbey of Thelema & in Paris, respectively. Pauline Pierce, 7th degree OTO who sought sex magick w Crowley, Ann's mother, 20 yr old Sicilian girl lured to Thelema with money, as were many girls, to have sex magick w Crowley to procreate the ANTI-Christ. Ann & Barb got together in 1980 to get the witch Bushes into the WH.

[bryanxt]

Davis, we're not a representative democracy, we're a Republic! Please watch a few minutes of "Overview of America":

video.google*com/videoplay?doc­id=-9014585970230568739

(skip to the 8:00 mark)

[Rosetteismyname]

Bryanxt: 1.) We are not a Republic! 2.) We should be a democracy. 3.) The Constitution gives power to the people as it stands today! 4.) We are a facist/corporate state!

[bryanxt]

Rosetteismyname: No argument on the facist/corperate state, the point was on paper we're a Republic. Should be a democracy? Like two wolves and lamb voting on lunch? No thanks- I prefer to keep my inalienable rights (those can be voted away in a democracy.) Please watch Overview of America as linked in my original reply. Thanks!

[Rosetteismyname]

bryanxt- - We don't have inalienable rights, the patriot act, the military commissions act, maybe senate bill 1959... to them the constitution is just a piece of paper...but people vote for those reps anywhoo...

[bryanxt]

Rosetteismyname wrote: "We don't have inalienable rights". Says who? Sure- some want to take your rights away and it you don't stand up against them you will have no rights within their system. But their system does not define your inalienable rights, it can only either protect them or restrict them (such as the Patriot Act, MCA, etc, etc, etc).

[donnamateo]

1. History making, life changing, greatest racial barrier broken since Condi Rice.

[DeniseMichaels]

It's time to start getting beyond color. It's unimortant. A non-issue. We are not a black America or a white America we are the United States of America. I couldn't have cared less if Obama was white, black, brown, yellow or red - I believe he was the best person for the job. Productive white citizens won't suffer - we will prosper - and so will everyone else as we pull out of this economic mess Bush got us into.

[t4705mb6]

I hope you are not too upset when you witness what will happen in 2009.

Obama and McCain are BOTH on board with the bankers planned collapse of the US.

US citizens have been duped ....again. Remember what "W" promised us in 1999.

(By the way, the plastic bottles used for selling ordinary water for a dollar a litre or more is laced with poison.)

[utubesucks2003]

Ok this has got to stop. You're staying in and so are we, we're not out right now. We're on youtube.

[wazooavenue]

"Sheep" you say. Yep. As a whole we think the job is done because Obama is in and the work is over...for us.

But it's not. We hired him and now we have to make sure he's done his job.

But now what? Democrats are happy to have one of their own back but what will the next 4 years bring?

Our leaders are in a different world and don't relate to the common American.

Wall Street? Main Street? Nope. Madison Avenue is what gets the votes. So we were sold on Obama. Will he come through or am I dreaming?

[kwazi6]

Obama isn't an African American. He was born in Kenya and is a citizen of Indonesia. I believe Poland Springs is distributed by NESTLE. NESTLE puts FLOURIDE POISIN in their water. Good luck.

[jandrewmurphy]

bottled water? i thought you were an environmentalist!

[edgell911]

you said sheep...lmfao

[Valleynews]

I voted for Nader, but Obama will be a lot better than Bush. I wish Bush's eviction date would be moved up. I hope that Obama will create single payer health care. I haven't gone to the dentist for years, and my glasses are scratched up.

[tomdoscher]

WWND

What would Nader do?

such a shame...

[DennyMclain2008]

white guilt? you have to be kidding? in my whole life i have never witnessed one white doing anything remotely harmful to any race. on the other hand i have witnessed personally guns pulled on me for no other reason than race. sorry chuckles... spew your fake guilt to your idiot nuts. enjoy your fascism.

[Rosetteismyname]

Denny, then move to the south. Just 2 days ago the Dallas Morning News reported that HATE CRIMES have gone up against minorities since Obamas win. This is only reported b/c it is too big to ignore. Other stories like Jena 6 only got heard b/c one woman refused not to be heard and screamed a lot. The KKK is still active in a suburb of dallas handing out flyers on a street corner. Jasper TX -- Sean Bell

[DennyMclain2008]

lol @ move to the south! where am i now?

[glassandsteel]

I will answer number 3. No, I did not vote for Barack Obama, and no, I have no more hope than I did during the Bush administration. In fact, I have even less. I know I may sound cynical, but I've come to think of the Bush/Obama shift as a setup/spike metaphor. Bush was able to erode many of our civil liberties but not able to act on it because of his unpopularity. Obama WILL be able to act on these new powers simply because he has a major crisis AND massive popularity. I DO hope that I'm wrong.

[agentacey]

I cannot even articulate the signifigance of Obama's victory. I can say that for the first time in my life I'm truly proud to be an American.

I hope he leans more left on legalizing marijuana and providing health care to every single American with little to no cost. xD

[medusestare]

haha keep dreaming

[ubobchad]

very good video. we absolutely can't be silent now that he has been elected. he needs to govern more to the left, but not overpoweringly, if thats a word. if he's too liberal at first (i know it sounds a little crazy) he really might ruin a chance for more liberal leaders in the future, especially independents, which is where the majority of my hope lies.

[TiradeFaction]

1. The significance shows a difference in strategy of the status quo to win over the masses...that is all ;P (Pakistan has had women presidents, yet women are still pretty oppressed there)

2. I didn't

3. No, only suckers vote for "hope"

4. Hard decision, health care or American foreign policy, it'd be hard to choose between them.

5. Doesn't imply to me.

[missdivinestalls]

I very much agree with you here Davis. I have read that he will be tackling Guantanamo which would make me very happy. I also think that we do need a single payer health care and will continue to advocate for such a thing, among other issues. I like to think that Obama will actually listen unlike his predecessor. When are you gonna be in the diaper, BTW ;p

[indulf]

Obama's mother worked for USAID and the Ford Foundation - both fronts for the CIA. Obama is surrounded by spooky 'Mossad' people.

[TrudiCMT]

3. I am not, even a little, infected with HOPE, and I thank God I'm immune. When I am even vaguely critical or suspicious of our President-Elect, the Obama-Zombies jump to his defense, assuming that I voted for *gasp* McCain. I'm still wondering: "Yes, We Can"... do what? Beat a Republican? Okay, I'll give 'em that. Anything else?

It'll be truly significant when we elect a president and care more about the platform than his/her gender or race.

[medusestare]

yes we can... bring change! duh. hahahaha

[arcturus33333]

1.)Probably more of the same from the 2-party dictatorship. 2.)N.A. 3.)There's possibly a little hope, but only by keeping pressure on Obama to represent we the people, and voting sensibly for congressional leaders in 2010. 4.)Getting out of bush's criminal occupation in Iraq. 5.)NA

[TheDevilsAccount]

The first step in passive resistance against the new Marxist regime is always to remember one salient fact: Barack Hussein Obama is not the President of the United States, and Michelle is not the First Lady.

Barack Hussein Obama is NOT the President of the United States. He is an animal who has wandered into the Oval Office by accident and shit on the floor.

[faething]

1. We have a president that can string a whole sentance together with real words! And the whole African-American thing. That's all the "change" I expected.

2. See #1.

4. Heh, medical marijuana. ;p Though, ending the at least one of our wars would be cool. My baby brother is a naval flight officer, and I would really like to see him not have to be in war. He totally disagrees with me on this.

Thank you!

[Penlord]

happy i never unsubscribed -

[youyou2btoo]

you know what irritates me, why do we have to collectively do this one minority at a time. the same negatives will have to be overcome again for a woman pres, again for a mexican american pres, again for a chinese american pres... is the sight that god gave us really such a burden on our intellect?

and yes, there is no doubt in my mind, obama will have to "work twice as hard as a white man" to get the same amount of respect. double that again for his campaign message.

scary & bold times

[youyou2btoo]

here is a participating american citizen!

as repellant as the reality of his campaign was financially, it was also promising in that this is the first sign of the ability of this leader to organize and efficently effect results.

socialized medicine will hopefully be his first legacy, to add to social security~ SOCIAL-ism scares people, but many middle class americans county on their social security, the social safety net of millions.

do republicans collect social security checks?

amen

[michaelsabino]

Exactly!

[anmoose]

Beautifully done, Davis!! I do believe that this battered nation finally has a chance to survive. The world, in general, seems to be supporting that belief. No president in history has faced the challenges and obstacles facing Obama, and it's up to us, now, to both support him and DEMAND that he, as well as our other elected "servants," keep his word. The party is just beginning.

Moosie

[priestson1]

very nice video.

the best that i've seen

[MiGP1981]

That 41 Dollars was worth the wisdom. Well done.

[wimscheers]

Did he really say suspending critical thinking is Democratic tactic to win elections? That's a first, i heard they could win this election on issues and republican on throwing mud. I do see the big empty 'change' screams for what they are, a nice catchphrase to remind people Bush F*d up and the USA needs change. And when you look at the facts, the issues, some change is promised and good ideas proposed. But elections are won with slogans and image, petty but true.

[greenback001]

The Wall Street Journal had a great photo of Obama and his Brain Trust, the real sphere of influence behind Obama beyond the inner circle of his Cabinet. Take a look at that photo and the individuals in it and ask yourself one thing, is this real change? Or is it simply more of the same?

[Brettah31]

whoaaa.

that was one of the most hard hitting of your videos that i have viewed since i subscribed...

[south6bt]

I agree that Obama now must be held accountable more than ever leading into his presidancy. He has offered a lot, and only by working his butt off will he be able to achieve what he has promised.

In other words, the easy part is over. If Obama thought getting elected was hard, then we may be in for a bumpy 4 years, because he'll have to work ten times harder to give the country what it's needing.

Obama is on notice as of 6 days ago

[Brandt761]

point...

One of your best videos ever, Davis!

sweet...

[LimeInTheCoconut21]

Dude, I just want weed legalized. And I want to be able to buy it like I could buy cigarettes, no pictures, no thumb scans. If we can do that, I will consider Barack a good president.

[787Bisurdaddy]

"Dude, I just want weed legalized. And I want to be able to buy it like I could buy cigarettes, no pictures, no thumb scans. If we can do that, I will consider Barack a good president."

Ron Paul is one of the few politicians who understand the harm that the war on drugs continues to do to our country. I'm fairly sure that the small list does not include Obama.

[mikezephyr]

one man DIDN'T direct the US into war (i'm guessing on terror- but also drugs, abortion etc.)

this policy-implementation is the expression nearly half a century of neoconservative framing and agenda-setting and the backing of immense social coalitions and interests like the anti-abortion faction, military-industrial complex, iindustrial-prison complex, and corporate america as a whole.

incidentally, obama cannot and is not outside of the sphere of influence of corporate and military hegemons.

[787Bisurdaddy]

"...anti-abortion faction, military-industrial complex, iindustrial-prison complex, and corporate america as a whole."

...all made possible by Lincoln's initial assertion of federal power over the States (and in process, usurping the constitution of a voluntary union which wouldn't let its own members secede). Thanks, Lincoln!

I consider him the worst president in history, and he's got 2 monuments. I wonder what kind of monument Bush will get (and don't think for a second that he won't).

[mikezephyr]

you're missing the point.

the US was established to benefit the propietory-class four score ten years before lincoln. "the gov't was founded to protect the oppulence of the minority against the majority"- Madison.

the precendent for corporate dominance is not from president abe but from the historical and political structure built before him still. america is a culture of occupation (as is civilization), see: 99% of native americans killed by the "One Right Culture".

[787Bisurdaddy]

Replace opulence with... well, just about anything. That's the point; at least with state-centrism, people are free to change their local government or move.

The president never would have been able to stay in office with a 76% disapproval rating were it not for the centralization of power within the federal government, nor would he have been able to wreak the havoc that he did as leader of the executive branch.

No government is perfect, but Lincoln profoundly made it even less so.

[mikezephyr]

dude, the madison quote is crucial.

it reveals the essential face of the modern bourgeois-state as the executive council for managing the common affairs of the ruling-class. it inherently concentrates authority as does the capitalist to deepen the exploitation of the masses.

also, the president was never exposed to effectual dethronement as the division of powers ensures not even the democratic force of the public could radically sway the capacity of government.

[SlapHappyWrath]

I love your brain you're very creative. I'd totally hit it

[DarthMerlin]

(1) The significance of the Obama victory is that we can finally have confidence in our President again. Because, if we don't expect anything from him, we won't demand anything.

(2) The top reason I voted for Barack (out of many) is that he is NOT simply someone I'd like to have a beer with. We don't need an ordinary person in the White House, we need someone who is extraordinary.

(4) The most important issue for me is holding those in the current admin for criminal acts accountable.

[mysticblur]

I think "Joe American" needs to stay involved in issues at hand with congress, and keep their congressmen and women in check by calling and writing about how they feel about bills and issues that could potentially affect their lives. Lets try to keep corporate America from standing on the heads of the consumers and the low level employees who work for them. Everyone has right to happiness, freedom and justice. Keep corporations from bailing out poor congresspersons.

[mysticblur]

1. There is great significance due to the whole race issue, and people being sick of corrupt government rule, but I don't see much of a change in corrupt politics coming. Sorry Barack.

2. no

3. Yes, he did give a good acceptance speech. hopefully he can stand by his word, and hopefully he will get us back our constitutional rights we've lost under Bush.

4. I hope to see him get us away from being the world police, and help get rid of some of the fear instilled by the current administration.

[787Bisurdaddy]

"hopefully he will get us back our constitutional rights we've lost under Bush."

Sigh. Do you really think that'll work? Those constitutional rights aren't granted by the constitution, they're merely guaranteed. In other words, Bush was still able to ignore the constitution and take those rights away. If one president decides to "give them back" another can just decide to "take them away" again.

The only way we can make this right is to hold Bush accountable for his actions.

[mysticblur]

I agree he should be held accountable 100%. And what happened to the supreme court? shouldn't they be on that like rabid dogs on a rotting corpse?

[tenagliac]

Well spoken and with substance.

Obama-nation, interesting "sound-a-like"...

And yes ! Citizen participation.

I get this from my congressmen. They say they

need to hear from "we the people" to know what we want. If we don't tell them, some other "entity" will.

What does Senator Obama think he will do for America ? And what do the people expect of him ? Those may be very different things.

[PClaytonHuggins]

Well Mr Fleetwood that's all well and good and as usual well said. But promises made are promises kept, unless of course they are made by politicians who we have come to expect - Pre Obama - to not mean much of anything. So, Davis, was it just empty "political talk" meant to shunt us aside or was there some integrity there. Yes' am talking about the Bridge! I know, am close to becoming a nuisance, but a promise is a promise. Lets head for that bridge Mr Fleetwood.

[787Bisurdaddy]

"But promises made are promises kept"

Why would you ever assume that?

"unless of course they are made by politicians who we have come to expect - Pre Obama - to not mean much of anything."

Why would you expect Obama to be any different? He IS a politician, one who used the same promises we've heard MANY TIMES from politicians who in the past got elected and failed to live up to expectations.

"was it just empty "political talk" meant to shunt us aside"

What else would it be?

[PClaytonHuggins]

I think I might not have made myself clear. My comments were intended for Davis Fleetwood re. his "promise" to walk a bride in nothing but Depends if Obama won. It's a promise he promised to keep. Hope this helps.

[787Bisurdaddy]

Oh. Do'oh, sorry. I forgot about the bridge thing. I was wondering what you meant by bridge.

[michaelispan]

A good day for willie!

[DurAR89]

Your question, no my hopes aren't up. Lying to the people is better than telling them the horrible legislation you passed. I would like to see Obama end all U.S. current wars instead of going along with the Bush Doctrine he proudly has supported, but that's hoping a little too much. +5

[787Bisurdaddy]

"Lying to the people is better than telling them the horrible legislation you passed."

Wow, I disagree severely. Perhaps if people were actually informed of such legislation, they might learn a thing or two.

Of course, it doesn't really matter if they tell people, because the mainstream media won't report it anyway.

My sister was watching CNN, and I saw a little phrase on the ticker that I noticed was shockingly suggestive: "Keeping you informed". Sure you are!

[2minuteh8]

Nobody ever went broke, or lost an election, underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

Different puppet, same puppeteers. Obamugabe will change nothing. The disillusionment, hunger, and homelessness you suffer over the next year or two may lead you to contemplate suicide. Kill yourself if you must, but take an investment banker with you when you do.

Cheers

[ya19375]

great video. lets hope since the dems hold a majority of the power in washinton they will accomplish something meaningful, like ending the wars, and reducing the size of the american empire. if i dont see any major improvements in 4 years i doubt i will support obama for his next term.

[gagirl101]

Great vid Davis.

hmm. well you see I have this thing where when I answer questions I tend to give someone a long essay. Which would only conclude that I'd take up about twenty comments and I don't want to bore you to death.

But I can tell you that I didn't vote for Obama and I really have no hope for this country anymore. It's spiraling downwards. Soon we'll be known as the failure country. The UK is already laughin at us. But anyways. Great vid!

[Sweepingreaper4]

good vid davis

needs more dancing at the end but i do like the vids that are more like vlogs

[gagirl101]

lol. I know he needs to do the dancey thingy at the end! 'tis funny.

Dipper, bridge. Get too it.

[HonestDiscussioner]

I used to drink bottled water because the tap water I had tested in my neighborhood high overly high concentrations of iron that can damage kidney's. I now have a filter attached to my sink that makes it far cheaper and more convienent.

Obama has already declared that he will make executive orders to undo the bush E.O.'s such as now making stem cell research funded, among other very progressive things. He certainly isn't going to sit back and do nothing.

[gagirl101]

HonestDiscussioner - Yeah he isn't sitting back and doing nothing, but are we sure that what he is doing is right?

[Beadbud5000]

3:19 to 3:25 says it all in a way

[ideasaretoys]

1. The elitists agenda can continue, ever notice all the zionists surrounding him? Obamanation or Abomination?

3. Not an american, more infected with bafflement of the hope-nosis and ignorance of the general American voter and propaganda power of the mainstream media, btw those orator skills: Ericksonian hypnosis, look it up.

4. The war oF terror?

5. Nuke the next Bilderberg meeting.

[787Bisurdaddy]

And ironically, many bottled water companies actually use municipal sources to fill their bottles anyway!

People like being able to buy a drink and throw their disposable containers away. I have to admit, it's healthier than soda. If I'm going to stop for a quick drink and pay for it, I'd really rather drink water than high-fructose corn syrup.

[787Bisurdaddy]

I maintain that bottled water is more about convenience than anything else. It's certainly not about quality: bottled water is "regulated" by the FDA, not the EPA, which doesn't put nearly the resources into verifying water quality and doesn't even hold the same stringent standards for it as the EPA does.

[boundless1986]

well he got 40 bucks but hey you supplied them party that night.

[metashifter]

3. I didn't vote for Barack because I had diarreah and couldn't go to the polls. I may have already been infected with something, but it wasn't hope.

[iTellYouNoLie]

1. good Americas not totally racist anymore, but there will not be much change.

2.McKinney kicks Obama's ass, but the others didn't know.

3.hope & change & change & hope, not much thrill, still killin' civilians.

4.Legalize "it", the only hope left for me with Obama.

5.You already know I haven't been silent about either "mainstream" candidate.

"CHANGE must come..."

LOL

[ninamichelle77]

I was blissfully complacent until about three days later just because the idea of a McCain-Palin administration gave me the heebie jeebies. The press conference Friday and subsequent chatter afterward was pretty disappointing and even nauseating.

[Rosetteismyname]

What? If someone votes for Obama, that is complacency

[jess420haze]

the top reason why i voted for barack was because he, as an intelligent, well spoken human being, can bring change to the war, economy, justice, and the way we live as Americans. he has opened eyes and turned heads with his historic campaign and election, and he will continue due to so as our president. the leader of the "free world"...and he's black...i think its a positive change, but until everyone sees AND believes that, it will be a rocky road.

[Sikapossu75]

To those who wish that US stays out of Iran, I have just one thing to say;

During the Bush administration, USA has started to notice the civil wars and have tried to talk some sence to some African leaders but to no avail. I predict that the Obama administration will send troops to one or more African country/ies to end civil wars/genocides.

The point of my mumbling; there are other wars where your warriors will fight.

[SaveOurSovereignty2]

fantastic

[vigilantesuperstar]

1) I think I almost would have preferred McCain. Then, at least, it would be evident how fucked we are right now. Obama is able to hide behind a facade of change. Consequently, all of the suspicion toward our government leaders that came out of watergate is about to be undone. I think that people will go back to trusting our political officers. (Not that I won't be fighting for the contrary every step of the way.)

2) I voted for Nader. Health care was my top reason.

[vigilantesuperstar]

3) I'm always inflicted with hope. I've been searching for a cure for optimism, but alas, nothing yet. Even after eight years of the Bush administration. Your videos can take some of the credit for that.

4) DIPLOMACY. Please, Mr. Future president, do not take us to war with Iran.

5) I definitely don't think that this question applies to me. I haven't been silent during this election at all. As a progressive, I think we should start early this time, to get a real progressive democrat...

[vigilantesuperstar]

...as a presidential candidate. It's time to start on the Gravel 2012 or the Kucinich 2012 campaign. Maybe if we start early, these guys with real progress on their minds will stand a chance. But, as I can't live from election to election, I'll still be talking it up with people, and putting pressure on our current officials when I can.

On another note, I find it coincidental that my water got shut off this weekend.

[DANxCHORIN]

Gravel isn't gonna run in 2012.

[vigilantesuperstar]

Kucinich 2012 it is. Unless the next four years reveal a more worthy candidate.

[D119heavy]

I voted for Nader in Virginia, I go to yale and im sick of hearing all the other yalies rave about how sweet obama is, but I did a good job convincing people that america does not (contrary to popular opinion) have a 2 party system, so that's a start, at least.

Also, I wanted to say thanks to Davis for being a voice of reason and rational thought during this time of bandwagon jumping and campaign slogan referencing.

Oh yeah and right on for giving Willie $41, homeless folks have it really bad.

[dharmapunk5]

I'm reminded of one of the speeches from the movie An American President

AJ: The President doesn't anwser to you Lewis.

Lewis:"Oh yes he does AJ I'm a citizen, this is my president. And in this country it's not only permissible to question our leaders. It's our responsibility..."

And so my fellow citizens. Let's be responsible this time.

[shaystrer]

You struck it right on this one Davis. Good vid

[qanazir]

1. It signals a shift to the left by America and it's good to have a functoning brain in the white house.

2. I am not old enough to vote plus I don't live in America.

3. Not really it will probarly get all right but not fantastic.

4. Health care socializr the motherfucking shit America.

5. I think I was critcal of him all along.

[rlwalker2]

After the election I made the comment, "Those who orgranized for Obama need to stay organized and push to get his promises done."

Wow, you used so many more words to nail the same idea. lol

[davisfleetwood]

NO- RIWALKER

Obama did NOT promise to get us single payer national healthcare.

Obama did NOT promise to change our foreign policy.

your naivetee and lack of understanding about these issues got him elected- but now you need to wake up.

[rlwalker2]

Naivete is believing you have the answers and can get every change done right now simply by damning the current process and claiming everyone who takes part is little more than a bunch of idiots. You don't turn a ship on a dime and the mess we are currently in is also going to take some time. Don't like to hear that Obama is better than McCain and is a step in the right direction. Tough. That's the way it is. The same organizations who pushed for him to be elected can push to get changes made.

[DANxCHORIN]

'Damning the current process'?!

Oh come on, you must have at least once thought "the Democrats and Republicans aren't doing such a good job for us!" or "damn, corporations control way too much of our political system".

Davis isn't "damning" the current political process, he's giving his critical input to a political system that we all know isn't doing such a good job. It's called critical thinking, something you should probably learn.

[TiradeFaction]

Rlwalker, he isn't just "damning" the system, he's asking people to push for change in the system. He also illustrated we DID have an alternative, but oh well, people don't listen.

[Mahoivlich]

Dude you look tired. Get some sleep bro.

[wawbwc]

Do a YouTube 'Search' for this video. "Obama Disqualified For President?" From: Montagraph

[Scorceror]

How much crack can you get for $41.00?

[ArcticSlicer]

1. First "minority" president. Biggest democratic victory in a long time. His party now has a significant majority in both houses of congress.

2. N/A

3. Looking at his first cabinet pick it's hard to have "hope". I guess it's time to "hope for the best while expecting the worst".

4. Living wage; the wages in this country have been allowed to become a joke. If they wages were better poverty wouldn't be as problematic and more people would be able to afford health care.

5. I'm not silent.

[seanbedlam]

Obama will not disappoint us if we demand and push and hassle like motherfuckers. This guy is an activist, he'll welcome the pressure. He might prove that wrong, but he's what we've got on the world stage right now. Pragmatism. Hope.

[AngryPirateProd]

2.) The biggest reason I voted for Obama is because I don't sense bullshit oozing out of his words. I believe he is truly has the country's best interests at heart. Sarah Palin also scared the Bejeezus out of me.

3.) I've been hoping. It's been so long since we didn't have a grossly incompetent president.

4.) Healthcare. Healthcare should be an inalienable right. Single payer all the way.

5.) I wanted Obama for president since 2004, but I will not be silent if Obama screws up.

[AngryPirateProd]

(cont) More importantly, people want a government that isn't violating the constitution, horribly corrupt and dedicated to running our country into the ground in the name of partisan bull. A lot of expectations are being thrust onto Obama. He has to mobilize the dems behind him (aka herding cats) and start moving a useful agenda forward. I think Obama is too capable and smart to blow this thing. The only way I see his presidency failing is if he leads and nobody follows.

[Rosetteismyname]

Davis are you poser now? before supporting Kucinich, Nader, Mckinney...what is this crap? The declaration of independence says, "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

[davisfleetwood]

a poser?

how so?

do you hear me supporting obama here?

[AngryPirateProd]

1. In case you didn't know, he's the first black president. That's huge. That alone gets him a big spot in history and I'm sure that you've all heard from every news source this that and the other thing about Obama being the first black president. It's also significant because Americans are becoming more involved in politics. People are paying attention (relatively speaking) and that's necessary for a democracy to function... (cont)

[FSBlueapocalypse]

4. Not sure if its a move to the left, but abolish the Patriot Act and Department of Homeland Security.

[Rosetteismyname]

1. It means active groups in 07 like the KKK will say, see we voted for a half-white man.

3. NO HOPE...If I thought there was I would have voted for him even in my red state of TEXAS...I don't--3rd party vote-My vote won't ever be lost

4. Yeah right?!?! He would first need to represent the people before I could have any hope like that. Media and marketing said hey this guy causes hope like MLK except he was for people and died as a result. Obama will do not such thing. Go corporate shill

[FSBlueapocalypse]

1. The signifigance for Obama's victory isn't just in his race. I believe his victory has helped turned Florida "Blue" for awhile now. This gives the Democrats 3 of the 4 largest states on the Electoral College on a consistent basis. In addition, it makes you wonder what the future of the Republican Party will be.

3. I didn't vote for Obama, but I must say, his speech that night was amazing. That gave me some hope.

[crustieswillalwaysru]

4.I would actually like to see the slow deactivation of the patriot act.

5.I am not a progressive i simpley choose not to vote, and now america just has to hold its breath as a new page is written

[Rosetteismyname]

"I would actually like to see the slow deactivation of the patriot act." being that he voted for the renewal of the Patriot Act and has made claim on his own website that he would support a "better form" of the Patriot Act?....any form of the Act spits in the face of the constitution...the fisa laws...military commissions act...He talks with uh and uh and well you see uh...

[crustieswillalwaysru]

I know it wont change but to me the patriot act and other similar act are threats that so many people dont know about. People shouted the next day and all I could do was look on and think , what if they knew the whole story, then i have dumbfucks saying that the patriot act dosent exist, or that it doesnt effect us.

[crustieswillalwaysru]

1. Obama Broke the Status Qup of Rich White America

2.I would not vote for anyone in that election , no offense to Barrack I just believe that McCain and Obama stood on to many of Americas never ending problems.

3.I have no hope for a doomed society we have thrusted ourselves to far in global warfare and domination to ever get out.

[8DoverNJ]

I heard a fellow Ron Paul supporter say that this MIGHT be good for the Campaign for Liberty since the Republicans have hit rock bottom and MAYBE....MAYBE the "mainstream" Republishits might start listening to the Ron Pauls of the party rather than just marginalize him. We'll see.

I hope Willie spends that $41 wisely and relatively soon before it's worth 41 cents.

[maxx1000]

Davis,

Had Bush made good decisions that didn't cost the Nation life, Liberty of Justice; that didn't cost the Nation a reputation of Constitutional wealth; that didn't cost the Nation it's safety by giving militants a cause to hate us for - then Bush would be well liked and Obama might not be president elect.

The only HOPE I have is that Obama repudiates the Bush Administration - but Obama's history gives me great pause. I'll support a path of accountability no matter who'd have won.

[fucksatanism]

You look like shit today.

[RealArcalian]

5. Everyone, including die-hard lefters like yourself, realize that every ailment you point out about our society is the result of BIG Government helping Wall Street and the Rich. The Health Care crisis is due to the alliance between the (Government Created!) HMOs and BIG government. The Economic crisis was caused in no small part by the size of BIG Government and the market's inability to support it and it's wars.

Big Brother is an even bigger supporter of Showbusiness than Business.

[RealArcalian]

1 The election of a HALF-Black man to the White House. The defeat of Bush/McCain/Palin.

2. I didn't. I voted for Bob Barr.

3. Not the hope that Obama is selling, as you so aptly put it. Rather, the hope that he won't suck too bad. That he will make it as far as medicore, as Bill Clinton did.

4. Get out of the Middle East. Not just Iraq. The ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST.

[bigassbuzz]

I respect you MORE with each video you produce. btw, I wrote in RON PAUL and DENNIS KUCINICH

[Rosetteismyname]

Obama is half white and I am sure his white mother loved him and she loved him. He will also represent her in the white house.

[TheShizzlest]

1. Obama's victory is significant merely because it shows the American Dream is true. Just about anybody can be anything.

2. I'm hoping Obama will kill political corruption and brings the US back from being an international embarrassment.

4. I really want universal healthcare instituted.

[Rosetteismyname]

I am 27 and my mother...had to drink out of separate water fountains...THAT IS ONE GENERATION...not two....

[ekb110]

Obama's victory brought out the political within many who were not previously so. In the end I failed Nader, and voted for Obama, fearing OH swing state effects. Yeah, I guess I do feel a bit of hope. Wish for his views of the war to reach far left. Next, is for us to actively rally for progression locally, upward and onward.

[sylvanus93]

Obama has broken the race barrier, I did not vote for obama.. Hope will come when we are out of Iraq and Aghanistan,when we arent consudered the Assholes of the world.. And as a leftist Democrat i think he failed by not supporting Dennis Kucinich"s HR 676 the bill that would have given us Single payer health care in America. We need to bring America BACK to the 21st century..thats whats Next..!!

[ekb110]

Excellent points made, Davis. Thanks so much for the political sentiments; yours are always appreciated! One of your number one fans, e

[davisfleetwood]

QUESTIONS FOR THE COMMENTS:

1. In 3 comments or less- describe the significance of the Obama victory.

2. if you voted for Barack, what was the top reason why you did so?

3. If you did not vote for Barack, are you now- even a little- infected with HOPE?

4. What is the one issue that you hope to see Obama move to the LEFT on?

5. For those of you "progressives" who were "silent" during the election because you did not want to help the Republicans- what next?

[bryanxt]

Re- Your Qs:

1. We will vote in someone more aligned with the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto than the Constitution.

2. Wrote in Ron Paul since I support freedom. I can not support anyone who opposes freedom with forced taxation.

3. I lost some hope due to the mass deception.

4. The left-right paradigm is a seriously flawed political view- try the prism of freedom vs. tyranny. The left and right both support tyranny.

5. I wouldn't be silent against any evil, regardless of its source.

[SquireCD]

Well said, Davis!

PS: Willie FTW

lol
