Barack Obama - A tribute -Swimming to the Other Side

[evaesq]

One of the best versions other than Pat Humphries' herself.

[Dagney77]

It is so sad Obama turned out to be a communist.

He hid it during the election.

[heyriggs84]

ha ha ha muppet

[Dagney77]

So you knew Obama was a communist all along? I guess we should have paid attention to the people he associated with, the things he said on video and audio, and what he wrote about being a socialist in his book, "Dreams of My Father." But who would think to do that?

[typesloweatpho]

how is he a communist?

but your right about how he was hiding his true self during election. he really 2 faced us.

[DanDanTheOboeMan]

I'm confused; this video is flawed.

George Bush shouldn't be blamed; Congress (mostly democratic) had a lower approval rating than him.

Second: the quote said that "Bush lied, thousands died." And then later you show a picture of LBJ alongside other Democratic leaders.

Finally: Martin Luther King Jr. was a republican, not a democrat.

And you think that Bush lies? Barack Obama has attempted several times to pass bills through congress without giving them the chance to thouroughly read it.

Politics aside, can anyone tell me who the choir is? Its a really nice version!

[denverscott2]

@dnckryd The chorus singing is the Denver Gay Men's Chorus. This was recorded when we sang in Montreal for GALA 2004. I am the second soloist, glad you like it.

[dfillingham]

Well done, somewhat tepid, but finely thought out about human rights and the US constitution.

I am Jew who supported Obama. I do not want to debate it now. He won!

[mkadovitz]

How would you know what was in Rockwells mind? Did he tell you himself?

[Ohorseman]

I now see that you also practice censorship, since you have removed important posts that disagree with your wrongful conclusions. You even removed posts from a obviously well informed Jewish person that DIRECTLY INDICATED THAT OBAMA WAS BAD FOR ISRAEL!!! Further, you seem to boost of purity in Judaism, yet you QUOTE the NEW TESATMENT CHRISTIAN BIBLE IN THE OPENING OF THIS VIDEO. Your actions show us that you are wrong and off target... in many respects.

ADON RAKHEM NAH

[mkadovitz]

"Do unto others"....the norman rockwell...a CHRISTIAN source??? DUDE you are way off....the origins come from Tanach, Leviticus 19:18 ...to which the goyim like you reworded in what you use as your bible. Like you have with Judaica. Try again.

[Ohorseman]

Leviticus 19:18

Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

Matthew 7:12

...whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.

You can play around with this by looking at other translations. Even so, the words of Christ come closer to the words used by Norman Rockwell. That artist is Christian, so do doubt he had the words of Christ in mind when he painted that and used those words in his art.

[mkadovitz]

GAY G'zuntah Hay!

[mkadovitz]

Why do I ask such things...because you seem to be steeped in literal chapter and verse of the Bible. You conveintly like to site Jewish text when it suits you then go ahead and reject Jewish text and Jewish tractates and commentary over centuries to current day Talmud. When you quote Torah...Genesis chapter 15 why do you not follow the rest of Torah? Like Kashrut, Shabbat, and Jewish law? So don't quote me on Torah when you reject it by following Christianity while I live Judaism daily.

[mkadovitz]

Question....if you are such a literalist, do you keep Kosher?

[Ohorseman]

But I tell you, it is more than that. If you are a true supporter of Israel, then you must know about... Greater Israel. If you do not know, study up on it. If we truly support Israel then we must support them all the way. And to go all the way, you have to look at the scriptures and understand the borders of the nation as described in scripture. They must enlarge... into Greater Israel. Then, they control the oil. Scary but true. Look it up. Mainstream will not talk of this!

[mkadovitz]

You are paranoid....ahem....I also vote about the USA...and if there is no USA which we are on SHAKEY finacial ground, Israel does not fair either. I don't know what bible you are reading..is it Torah only????

[Ohorseman]

The pro-obama and Israel youtubes do not allow comments because they do not want people to know the truth about "james cone and black liberation theology" and obama's 20 year devotion to it. If you understood it you would see obama... differently. He is dangerous - I dare say a... latent Hitler, but one that hides in broad daylight. Peace be with you - sincerely.

[PaineLover]

Ohorseman, you've made your point. NO ONE is buying it. I am not lazy; I know who is behind such ROTTEN smears. And I know why. You will not succeed. Back over 8 yrs ago, when I was saying GW Bush was dangerous, I had very very good reasons for saying so. You do not about Obama. You just make sick, slanderous accusations with nothing to back it up.

[mkadovitz]

I posted to it. Try again....maybe...just maybe you are so neagtive that YOU are not welcomed to post there. Could be? Nu?

[Ohorseman]

I tried several times. My comments were not offensive. They were just... unsupportive of Obama. Censorship!!!

[MirSho18]

Then just go vote for McCain, and vote early, and Sheket, B'Vakashah, already! I am an Orthodox Jew, also, and it is not tznius for us to debate with you. I will be a good Jew and vote against Obama. Many Jews are confused. No offense, but you embarrass yourself when you debate a frum Jew, no matter what his/her opinion is by using wikipedia as your source..Read everything ever written by Areyeh Kaplan, then, you will have a few grains of sand on the beach of Toras Emes; a good start.

[PaineLover]

It is very rare to have someone like Obama arrive on the political stage. I'm no young kid; I've seen so much in my life. Obama will greatly help America heal. He inspires me . He will bring nations together. The racists, the haters, the war mongers do not understand that, nor do they want to. Bless all the lovers of PEACE. HOPE and swimming to the other side. OBAMA -08!

[Ohorseman]

I think you are eating what the media is spoon feeding you, painelover! I thought the same thing until I learned about Black Liberation Theology. Look at it yourself - "james cone and black liberation theology ". Hurry, before they sanitize the site. You may live to regret a lazy mind. Why do you think so many "obama for Israel" youtubes do NOT ALLOW COMMENTS. They want to hide the truth, that's way.

[PaineLover]

"You may live to regret a lazy mind." Idiots who like to claim they know everything about someone they've never seen, do not know, are a dime a dozen on the net. I'm not "eating what the media" is spoon feeding me. I'm not like the gullibles who watch Faux news, or listen to O'Rielly & Limbaugh.

[PaineLover]

"Obama for Israel" videos don't allow comments? Funny, I just posted on several of them yesterday. Anyway, it is the religious right wingers, the fundamentalists, and the racists that don't allow comments (or they delete any comments that aren't in line with their views). Now, run along to your racist websites and post to your hearts content about 'black liberation theology'. You're just blowing smoke and spreading lies.

[mkadovitz]

I posted to it. Try again....maybe...just maybe you are so neagtive that YOU are not welcomed to post there. Could be? Nu?

[Ohorseman]

Obama is about Black Liberation Theology - baptized in it, married in it, raised children in it. Study it. Then you will see that Obama will tear down America and Israel as we know it. Do not believe the lies that sound so good from his mouth. Please, study Black Liberation Theology and then you will understand this man. Go farther than wikipedia with your study.

[mkadovitz]

I am content with Judaica thank you very much and Shana Tova!

[Ohorseman]

I am glad you are content with Judaica. I do not say study Black Liberation Theology in an effort to convert you... it is to have you see that Obama is bad for Israel. Read about Black Liberation Theology so that you will understand Obama will side AGAINST Israel. The extreme elements of Obama's faith think Jews are imposters... Khazars! And even the moderate of his faith see Israel as oppressors from which Palestine needs to be liberated!

[mkadovitz]

And likewise Sarah Palin's church is just as extreme...side with Israel and Jews to their faces, but will stab Jews in the back to convert them. Shana Tova!

[Ohorseman]

Sarah Palin's church just as extreme you say? You are worried about... being asked to convert? PLEASE! You can always say "no" to the IDEA OF BEING converted, but you can not say "no" to being abandoned by USA support, likely resulting in being exterminated by Iran and others! I thought we learned something from Hitler. I don't think you get it!!!

[PaineLover]

Stop with the silliness, Ohorseman. Nobody is worried about being "converted". Especially to to Palintology AKA the loony Pentacostal Dominionists. YOU are the one who doesn't get it. The USA will NEVER.....NEVER abandon support for Israel!

[callyvinn]

so tell me what will happen under palin's when the israel say no to convert from what they believe in to what palin's, you don't thing (mcsame and palin's) will eventually abandoned them, please tell me

[Ohorseman]

No, Mcsame will not abandon Israel. Christian Evangelicals believe our destiny is intertwined with the Jews. We may ask you to convert, but you can so "NO" - and we will not force you to convert at the point of a sword (like Islam).

Black liberation theology is a whole different game. Again, go to wikipedia, james cone, black liberation theology. You will see for yourself. For 20 years, this has been Obama's faith. It is who he is. Do not believe the sweet words he now uses.

[mkadovitz]

Ahhh....but even if a Jew says...you still think that ANYONE who does not accept Jesus and Lord And Saviour deserves to be attacked as Israelis have i.e. Jews...or deserve to go to hell.

[mkadovitz]

Tell me...how has the War in Iraq made Israel or for that matter the middle east any safer? I am not saying that Israel doesn't nor shouldn't take out Iran BTW. But has Iraq changed it's position on Israel's right to exist. And what about the Bushes persoanl relationships with the Saudis? You like to play the fear card here...they Saudis whom Bush supports, have been responsible for funding extemsit Islamic sects.

[Ohorseman]

Look at the big picture, the one that the media will not talk about because it is not clear. The war in Iraq is a magnent for extremist Islam. There warriors are drawn to the conflict from all over the region. If and when we destroy them, or greatly weaken them... then we can make true progress in the entire region. That is exactly how the war in Iraq helps Israel. Without that distraction from Israel, all these warriors would attack Israel, being led by Ben Ladin or President of Iran!

[mkadovitz]

So you're voting for Obama? Good! Thanks!

[pukishizzle]

I'm sick of ignorant peeps attacking Obama over the same shiz. So what that he is for up to 9 month abortion, and so what that he don't support giving med care to babies that survive bad abortions, it's not like he's killing them, they die peacefully on their own. If their mama don't want them, why should we? And get off Obama's back already about Wright. Ok, so he sat under his teaching for 20 years, so what, he said he never heard these messages. We are gonna finally get who we deserve! OBAMA!
