My only criticism with the video is that an actor playing Todd Palin should have accompanied his wife during the Thenardiers' section of the song. Otherwise, beautiful piece. I just don't know how it took me this long to discover it.
On a side note, is it just me, or does "Marius, " mainly in terms of his blue button shirt, tie, and shaggy brown hair, look just like Jim Halpert?
Congratulations on helping the biggest disappointment in the last 100 years to be elected. Gitmo closed yet? No. Troops home yet? No. Universal health care? I doubt you'll see it ever happen. Borders tightened? No. Groping at airports? Yes. Middle east popular uprisings supported? No. Japan getting the support it needs from its only strong ally since WWII? No. Where is he? Golfing, partying, vacationing. Tragic.
@cecariah0263 Its not a business, its one of those places that they have in multiple places around big cities where they support a certain runner in an election, thats why there were a few young people. Probably fresh out of college and getting into politics. They probably put this out the day before voting day so thats why they chose this song. But I agree, what better combo than Les Mis and Obama???
Do you think, maybe, that it's possible, that we all got wrapped up in this brilliant campaign, and thought Barrack would somehow change the entire system and we would have this new, beautiful way of life? I think I did...
Incredible video tho. I can't tell you how many times i watched this during 2008
I was volunteer working in an Obama campaign office in southern Virginia the night this video supposedly is taking place. We were certainly neither all as good looking nor gifted with such wonderful voices, but still the atmosphere was not unlike the one portrayed here.
When I viewed it again today, I was left with the usual feeling: GET UP AND DO SOMETHING!
I will end this so that I can pick up the phone to invite some people to a local candidate's house party.
I wonder if any of them have realized that Obama is 90% Bush. From unjust wars, to Gitmo, to the anti-liberty patriot act, not much has actually changed.
@voteforpigeon student loan reform, the stimulus, the lily ledbetter fair pay for women act, hate crimes act, renewable energy production, FDA regulating tobacco, improved relations with much of the world...
And if nothing else, the bfd - healthcare reform
Hey, I'm also disappointed in guantanamo, iraq, afghanistan and the lack of the public option, but Obama is nowhere near 90% Bush.

There is one problem here. For this video to be appropriate the outcome on election day should have been the one that would have most benefitted the nation: the Obama forces should have been massacred. Guess that'll have to wait for 2012!
It's interesting that whether speaking out against the government is a duty or something which will "only make us a weaker nation" tends to depend on which party is in power at the time...
haha, I wasn't an obama fan (not that I can vote anyways...) but I love Les Miz! it would have been great if "Enjolras" was wearing red, preferrably a vest!
The legal system, courts, juries, justice alone and no one else, will try Obama and rule upon his crimes, among which faking identity to become president and thus accessing the nuclear force by fraud !
That's USA's highest treason, being the Army's top security violation, which thus must bear the death penalty
Obama's marked also by the heavenly number 666, the Antichrist's Mark, on his election day
I resent the fact that you called me a moron, and the fact that you will disrespect out government. We do have freedom of speech because of the first amendment, but speaking out against the government will only make us a weaker nation.
"speaking out against the government will only make us a weaker nation" -- A very common rationale for a more controlling government (less like a democracy). If we cannot speak out against the government, then the government has free reign to abuse the people. and the people become voiceless.

COURT WILL SAY GIVE OBAMA DEATH PENALTY
None but courts of law, juries, justice alone can jail, try, rule on Obama's crimes, of which faking certificate to be president and to wrongly access the nuclear force
That's USA's worst crime, high treason. Army's top security violation must surely carry death penalty, it's sure
Obama's marked also by the heavenly number 666, the Antichrist's Mark, on his election day
The second amendment clearly states that the right to bear arms is directly related to the security of the state via a *well-regulated milita.* Note the well-regulated part--that means it's not a bunch of Johnny Rednecks running around playing shoot-em-up. The second amended was never intended for the freedom of assault rifles; it was intended so that we would not be tyrannized by people due to the fact that they have weapons, and we do not.
Well if it's going with the Les Mis plot McCain would be pretending to be an Obama supporter in order to spy on them... and Palin would just be an opportunist.
Fuck off with your "shot to hell." Obama is trying as best he can to patch together the smoldering remains of the country after 30+ years of deregulation, theft and speculation spearheaded by the Republicans.

tintin, do you have any idea how ignorant you are on Political theory, history, and reality? The breadth of your idiocy is far too wide to even consider addressing here, given the space provided. You obviously have never sacrificed 5 minutes of your life to objectively research the actual and irrefutable facts which your rant so forcefully belies. You simply repeat the preposterous and fraudulent rhetoric,you hear delivered by bias media sources, as emblematic of the truth. Ignorance makes bliss
This was sent out to us volunteers the evening before election day. I must have listened to it about 40 times before I went out to phone bank and give rides to the polls.
Apart from Barack Obama himself, and the millions of Americans who supported him and sent him to the White House, this video is the single most awesome thing I will always remember from this election.
Looking back on this, and also having seen it just before the election, I still find this hilarious and well done. By now we know it was done by Ultimate Improv in LA and was part lip syncing and part real voices. WELL DONE TO ALL!
what production is this version from? these voices are much better than any in productions i've heard, and they are quite obviously lip synching. anyone know?
I love les mis and this interpretation of it is awesome!
If people want to argue over politics take its somewhere else besides the video. other people including i would like to look at the comments to the video not an argument.
If you did not raise your voice to object the anti constitutional measures that Bush and his cronies were enacting in their 8 years, then you have no business speaking now. Something had to be done then, and our best alternative was bho. Unlike you, we will hold our guy's feet to the fire and make sure he does not turn this country into a poor imitation of a third world dictatorship.
So, now I don't have the right to voice my opinion? Or, if I do, I'm just a "dumbass"? Do you hear yourselves? Is this your idea of a free society?
I'm not intimidated by your bullshit. You want to shut me up? Not going to happen. And there are millions like me that will forever stand against your social tyranny. You will not win. We will be free from government, religion, and manipulation by the small minded, repeaters of this world.
I thought we were having a lucid discourse until you brought up Icke. Forgive my shortsighted reptilian id, I thought you were serious for a second there. I just don't understand how anyone can endure with so nihilistic and paranoid a mien. Anyway, carry on fighting the good fight on Youtube.
Here's your chance, Mog; prove David Icke wrong. Enlighten me with your wisdom. I'm all ears, er, eyeballs :) I promise to give your argument serious consideration. Let's have it.
That's nice. So, are all those campaign volunteers going to hold him accountable for his campaign promises? Because, so far, your messiah hasn't changed anything. The $800M you raised for him is being paid back to the bankers by the federal reserve (aka taxpayers). He's sending MORE troops to war. And, he's surrounded himself with career politicians from the Clinton era. Is the the change you were expecting? Rep or Dem, they all work for the bankers, and so do you.
A passage contained in section 6104 of the original House version entitled Duties, in subsection B6, states that a commission will be set up to investigate, Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed.
Is that the change that bho supporters had in mind while they were campaigning for him?
Here's an excrept from the Senate version of the same bill:
Section 120 of the bill discusses the Youth Engagement Zone Program and states that service learning will be a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.
Change we can believe in? What does that ambiguous slogan mean anyway? Nothing.
I would say the new boss is looking alot like the old boss.
Lee Cary of the conservative American Thinker warns that Obamas agenda is to, tap into the already active volunteerism of millions of Americans and recruit them to become cogs in a gigantic government machine grinding out his social re-engineering agenda.
So, you see? All the excitement that went into the election is being capitalized on to push fascist legislation that Bush only dreamed of proposing. Isn't it obvious?
Dumbass. He said during the campaign that he would send more troops to Afghanistan and take troops out of Iraq, and he's doing both. And he picked peole from the Clinton Era because they were the bestr people for the job. He has plently of people who weren't from the Clinton era. Obama promised a stimulus, he's delivering. Obama promised tax cuts for the middle class, and that's going to be part of the budget. Obama promised to normalize relations, and Iran is already more willing to talk.
Thank you everyone! It is funny - the economy may be going through some tough times right now BUT I have never been more RELAXED. The NeoCons are gone and the USA is once again on a path for peace and prosperity... we may have a few dark days ahead but after 8 LONG years... we are back on the right track! Thank you for this great video!
Ha! You know it's kind of funny. Les Mis is one of the most influential musicals of the last 25 years, and 9 out of 10 people still think it's about the French Revolution. Total fail, man.

I thought we were having a lucid discourse until you brought up Icke. Forgive my shortsighted reptilian id, I thought you were serious for a second there. I just don't understand how anyone can endure with so nihilistic and paranoid a mien. Anyway, carry on fighting the good fight on Youtube.

Here's your chance, Mog; prove David Icke wrong. Enlighten me with your wisdom. I'm all ears, er, eyeballs :) I promise to give your argument serious consideration. Let's have it.

That's nice. So, are all those campaign volunteers going to hold him accountable for his campaign promises? Because, so far, your messiah hasn't changed anything. The $800M you raised for him is being paid back to the bankers by the federal reserve (aka taxpayers). He's sending MORE troops to war. And, he's surrounded himself with career politicians from the Clinton era. Is the the change you were expecting? Rep or Dem, they all work for the bankers, and so do you.

You tell me, Mog; is it time to grab our torches and pitchforks?

Or, how about HR 1388:
A passage contained in section 6104 of the original House version entitled Duties, in subsection B6, states that a commission will be set up to investigate, Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed.
Is that the change that bho supporters had in mind while they were campaigning for him?

Here's an excrept from the Senate version of the same bill:
Section 120 of the bill discusses the Youth Engagement Zone Program and states that service learning will be a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.
Change we can believe in? What does that ambiguous slogan mean anyway? Nothing.
I would say the new boss is looking alot like the old boss.

Ok, here's the tie in for this thread:
Lee Cary of the conservative American Thinker warns that Obamas agenda is to, tap into the already active volunteerism of millions of Americans and recruit them to become cogs in a gigantic government machine grinding out his social re-engineering agenda.
So, you see? All the excitement that went into the election is being capitalized on to push fascist legislation that Bush only dreamed of proposing. Isn't it obvious?

Dumbass. He said during the campaign that he would send more troops to Afghanistan and take troops out of Iraq, and he's doing both. And he picked peole from the Clinton Era because they were the bestr people for the job. He has plently of people who weren't from the Clinton era. Obama promised a stimulus, he's delivering. Obama promised tax cuts for the middle class, and that's going to be part of the budget. Obama promised to normalize relations, and Iran is already more willing to talk.

Thank you everyone! It is funny - the economy may be going through some tough times right now BUT I have never been more RELAXED. The NeoCons are gone and the USA is once again on a path for peace and prosperity... we may have a few dark days ahead but after 8 LONG years... we are back on the right track! Thank you for this great video!

Ha! You know it's kind of funny. Les Mis is one of the most influential musicals of the last 25 years, and 9 out of 10 people still think it's about the French Revolution. Total fail, man.
