  • I remember seeing Gordon-Levitt on Jeopardy so many years ago. He was playing for charity, and while I don't remember the exact name of the charity, it was in the same vein as population control. I remember thinking, 'This guy's a socialist.' Well, he says he's not a democrat or a republican, I wonder if he's PFP (Peace and Freedom Party), socialist, after all.  His Mother ran for Congress on this platform. No wonder he likes O.

  • Actually politics, religion, etc. are bullshit. After all we are of the same species so you would think that we would want to recognize our similarities rather than our illusory differences!!!

  • boy were you wrong.whatever president is elected will be BULLSHIT

  • nope ,this is bullshit. this along with all the other presidents. is bullshit. Still the same bullshit, nice try though.

  • nope ,this is bullshit.

  • change we change ,yes without you ,,simple ,,lets get a nigger in they will buy that shit ,,YES WE CAN ,,HIP HOP

  • Hmmm nothing he promised done so far, still think this guy is different from the rest lol

  • The most unintentionally Ironic Video ever made? haha...It's funny how Obama turned out to be the biggest Bullshitter of all...bailing out Goldman Sachs, staying in Iraq and Afghanistan, giving corporate America free reign to do whatever...this video is good evidence of why you should never listen to anything celebutante actors have to say....especially about politics haha.

  • And yet, Obama's campaign promises have so far been, well, I don't think I have to say it.

  • Obama has never demonized republicans. Never ever.  (sarcasm)

  • That sounds pretty convincing

  • Hey, UFSkater, did you vote for Obama? What did you know about him? What did you know, or do you know, about the issues that he ran on, some of which he has already contradicted? Did you know that he was going to press for legislation which would put the U.S. -- all of its citizens --- deeply into debt for years? That he would take over companies, as is done in socialist countries? Is that what you voted for? Don't ridicule those who have legitimate criticisms and KNOW THE ISSUES.

  • Youtube search MARC STEVENS

    "Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

    Thomas Jefferson

    "I consider trial by jury as the only anchor yet devised by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution."

    Thomas Jefferson

    "If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law."

    Henry David Thoreau

  • So how do you feel now. Obama has taken bullshit do a new level.

  • True that man, true that.. This vids just another example of how obama brainwashed this ountry into thinking he was god, and look how worse he has made us in only 100 days.

  • yep

    Ill keep my Freedoms, My Guns, My Money and My religion..you can keep the CHANGE

    Government suffers from Crainium Recumitus

  • Can you imagine how terrible this country would already be if Mccain won?

  • Word on politics. But, I have to say - I see so many ignorant, hateful comments online about Obama.1 month in office, conservatives have gone nuclear.How can Obama fail, and the whole country not fail?People are running around screaming crap,with no facts,just bias, partisan divisiveness.Obama isn't bringing us down, we are bringing us down, with nasty, hateful words and racism. Would we be worried for his safety if he was white? Terrible. We are dangerous!He's working, we're damaging!

  • How is your history on Political affairs?

    or are you just throwing out opinions?

    Thats the problem. People with a lack of knowledge & awareness creates

    The divide between us. The lack of understanding.

    Your right about one thing though. Its us humans who allow our selves to be easily manipulated by the media hysteria & the

    Cheesy Hope songs to win our hearts. I mean come on!

    Start thinking critically. It doesnt take much and hurts nobody.

    Your missing the whole point my friend

  • polotics is always bull shit

  • You should have stopped at "Politics is bull shit" But the you spoiled it by being partisan. You had it right "POLITICS IS BULL SHIT"

  • agree with the bullsh1t part,

    don't agree with the "but" part

  • what up Joe I am a registered user on your forum. I joined it to talk about something of importance because I thought people had something to say about the world today but all they wanted to talk about was your acting career, no affence your a good actor but i think you trying to get a bigger message across through hit record

  • People can easily speak badly/have strong opinions of something they can't do themselves. That is to create an image of feelings. It is easier to bash an opinion than to congratulate a young American for being bold/courageous and creating a truth within himself.

    Look who won...Let's see what "change" he shall bring. :-D

  • People don't vote and complain because the whole system is rigged. You have to choose from 2 completely worthless candidates who are chosen for you. You think voting means anything. Go back to sleep. You are free to do as your government tells you you fucken moron.

  • You can disagree with a candidate without using obscenity. Calling a person bullshit is wrong in my opinion.

    we are all Americans, Keep in mind if we don't work together, this country will suffer worst than the past eight years.

  • Wow, you are awesome, thanks for this video. I AGREE!

  • Obama might be bullshit, but with McCain there is no doubt. Basing a major part of your campaign on William Ayers? Inciting hatred at your rallies? Accusing anyone who doesn't agree with you of being anti-American? And if you think he's different than George Bush than you aren't really paying attention. If you think the economy is doing fine. Vote McCain. If you think it was a good idea to go into Iraq. Vote McCain. And don't even get me started on picking Sarah Palin....

  • Politics is bullshit? Agreed. But this video ignores the fact that, as a politician, Barack Obama is also full of bullshit, just as much as McCain is. Gordon-Levitt, just because you say a true statement about politics does not mean Obama is this saint who transcends bullshit.

  • i love you.

  • I agree that Obama is still old politics, but you're wrong on the video. It's not from the Obama camp.

  • Obama is just another politician. He got his start in politics by beating his opponents through legal challenges, rather than the ballot box. He promised to accept public campaign financing, then reneged when he realized that he'd get more money by declining it. He's changed positions based on polling data and lied about his record and background.

    If you agree with his policies great, but if you think he's any different than other politicians you are quite gullible.

  • If i was an american and old enought to vote lol, i would vote for him.. just to keep Joseph Gordon Levitt happy.

    :D

  • So I agree with some of the speeches that OBama has made and I also agree with some of the speeches that McCain has made however both have them have contradicted themselves more times than I can count. I agree with the person who made this video Politics are bullshit!!! Every candidate is "different" and "going to make a difference" which one has made the difference we have been waiting 8 years with stupid.

  • McCain/Palin/Republican supporters appear to only be able to articulate & express themselves with anger & hatred. Fear mongering, inciting violence, the desire to keep fighting a war that CANNOT be won drives the hearts of the ignorant masses. Peace, education, equal rights/tolerance will make America great again & will also restore the faith of the American People. Obama is the ONLY choice.

  • You're amazing, Joe. I feel pretty much the same way.

  • I think it's some kid good at making.. how would you call it.. "records" perhaps. You'd be amazed how resourceful kids and record making can be these days.

    Well made vid!

  • Clearly you have no idea how politics works.

    Obviously you are going to repeat the same speeches, stances, etc. Just because you have heard them doesn't mean everyone else has. Advertising works the same way. Would you remember a product if you only saw a commercial once? If you haven't seen it before?

    Politics is about popularity. Your goal is to "grab the audience" and "have them" so they can hear your message. That's the making of a good speech.

    Know what you're talking about first.

  • Joe - thanks for doing this. I recommend also going to Nevada (or the nearest swing state) and knocking on doors for the campaign. I've gone with a group of friends twice now and it has literally been one of the most life-affirming and energizing experiences of my life. Nobody wants to wake up on Nov. 5 to find out the nearest swing state was lost by a couple hundred votes and John McCain is President...

  • ...except the 60% of Americans who describe themselves as "conservative", of course.

  • Propoganda defined: concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. Its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. Propaganda gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.

  • Make no mistake, Obama is well versed in how politics work. He came up through the Chicago political system and has sense practiced politics by abstaining from all controversial votes, connecting with characters that can advance he political career, and winning previous elections through "political" means. This video makes the case that he is a master politician because it provided no concrete reason to vote rather than the appearance of difference and the playing of rhetoric. That is scary.

  • yes

  • Being a war hero does not qualify you to serve as President.

    In addition, I'm pretty sure a graduate of Columbia, Harvard Law, a teacher at U of Chicago, and a U.S. senator isn't a "ruthless, immoral, vicious Chicago thug."

  • There were thousands of war heroes. A war hero wins my respect, but that doesn't earn my vote. It obviously didn't earn your vote with Kerry. You're setting yourself up for hypocrisy.

    Obama is "cool" because his speeches inspire the younger generations. McCain constantly calls us his friends even though we don't know him personally... "C'mon Friends... Go Down To John Mac's Used Auto dealership and get this Chevy Malibu".... take your own medicine, joe dou fu

  • Has has taken a position on each issue-- you just haven't bothered to look or listen to what he has to say. A simple trip to his website would give you a good view on his positions on policy.

    If you don't know where he stands by now, clearly it's because you don't care to be informed. You just want to find a reason to complain.

  • Bush declared mission accomplished in Iraq almost 2000 days ago. Doesn't that mean the war has already been won? So the real question is why are we still over there. Obama wants to set a timeline to bring our troops home from Iraq and to focus on Afghanistan. Obama supports investing in technology that could make coal a clean burning source of energy. He is not going to raise a dime on taxes for people that make less than 250,000k a year including small businesses.

  • We're in Iraq nurturing a new democracy while it develops the ability to protect itself. As for Obama's positions, they change with the wind. Tax cuts for people who make under 250k? Read his plan. He wants to *increase* taxes but then award *grants* to lower-income people, including many who pay no taxes at all. Calling that an income tax cut is a joke. He's also raising payroll tax, capital gains tax, investment income tax, business tax, death tax, social security tax,... don't they count?

  • War hero? He got caught by the Vietnamese and was POW. He wasn't that good of a soldier.

  • ooooh I would VOTE!! sending good karma over the ocean from a tiny but oldest democracy of the world

    !GOGOGOforOBAMA!

    thx J x

  • I feel the same. Thanks for sharing.

  • You just stated everything I've ever felt about politics. I'm voting on Thursday! Yay!

  • This Canadian would vote for Obama if she could!

  • Thanks for spreading the word. Go Joe! I mean - Go Obama! Will pass it on.

  • Beautiful. Succinct, impassioned and dead on.

  • awesome and inspiring!! it makes me hopeful that young people are going to make all the difference not just in this election but in the future of the world as well.

  • omg I luv Joe! nice vid

  • The Deaf chick here really appreciate the transcript.

    Thanks, dude.

  • Fantastic video. Scott Heim directed me toward it, and I'm glad I watched. Not only is Obama full of verve, but the way you've put together the years in graphics, the music, your narrative--all impressive. I'm gonna pass it on.

  • well done, Joe! i have a good feelin about this fella, too.

  • excellent. Now we have to have Nevadans and Virginians and Pennsylvanians watch it.

  • Pennslvania is watching.

  • alright!
