When the President talks to God

[IxGaarAxI]

Agree or Disagree with his political views... Awesome song.

.

[alwaysstrapped69]

like bush talks to God. he's pure evil.

[insanedemocrat3]

love this song

[MsSlopes]

This song was simply amazing when it came out. For those complaining...

He addresses his voice: "I could have been a famous singer if i had someone elses voice / but failures always sounded better (lets fuck it up boys make some noise)"- Im Wide Awake Its Morning

[666Nastyman666]

Proud to share his name.

[awdydagooba]

does he ever smell his own bull shit?!

amazing.

[olivernowisky]

Amazing song! Amazing lyrics!! Amazing!!!

Conor is a genious!

[seraclues]

haha all class

[TheMarkOfPinn]

Gosh... Conor's just amazing !

[seraclues]

Tthis is getting silly. I agree that conor doesn't have the most amazing voice (obivously neither does britney spears, but thats another issue). But it's not the voice that's the appeal, it's the fact that he sings about real issues. his voice may not be talented, but his lyrics are aMAZING. visa vee, he's amazing :) everyone likes different things. i don't understand why some ppl write Hate Mail, on videos like this. If you hate it so much, why are you here, listeing to it. i don't get it :(

[BlikjeBier]

indeed

[Horrificated01]

Stop saying stupid things. I watched this once and made an opinion. People reply, I come back to it. I'm not watching it again and attempting to bother you guys, you're dragging me back in so I have to continue to defend my statements.

He's terrible, poets write well, musicians should learn to play well.

[Fireholder1]

@Horrificated01

The music is only dramatic accompaniment to his lyrics, which are the focal point of this piece. Perhaps one of us is narrow-minded? :s

[665nxtdoortothedevil]

WTF is an untalented voice???

[Hippiesam]

HE IS THE NEW BOB DYLAN!!!!!!!!

[Horrificated01]

Really, really, really, really, really, HORRIBLE song. Well written lyrics, but this sounds horrible.

[BlikjeBier]

thats the point, dont you get it?

[Horrificated01]

The point is to make me buy terrible music for it's "image?" It's not like he's being a joker, every song has horrible singing and meteokre band to back it up.

I don't understand his appeal, he's nothing like Bob Dylan.

[BlikjeBier]

some people like 'terrible' music, if you dont you can just buy the new britney spears album!

[Horrificated01]

Is that sarcastic or serious? You can't tell on the internet.

[BlikjeBier]

or maybe christina aquilera will suit you better

[Horrificated01]

Clearly it's sarcasm, and you think this is somehow above Britney Spears. It's so bad it's almost below her, honestly.

Appreciate the music of Bob Dylan, this isn't it.

[BlikjeBier]

you dont understand what i said, some people like raw music instead of 'perfect' music like that of britney spears, where every false note has been digitally corrected, including her voice. that is why she always playbacks on stage and the music isnt live either. people wouldnt recognise her music otherwise.

therefore she cant be seen as an artist and she should shut the fuck up and die in a hole

that is why i (and many people like me) like the 'terrible' music of bright eyes.

[BlikjeBier]

your mother sounds horrible

[glynnth]

The only complaint I have about this video - it has George's face on it, way too much! (and I can't stand the sight of him!)

[popsicleXstand]

i don't think this song has anything to do with whether God is real or not. It has to do with bush's lies, the fact that he tries to say all his bad decisions were made as christian and Godly ones. Conner is being sarcastic "yeah, i bet God really told you to kill all those people and take away peoples rights" The message is that you can't hold God accountable for all the things you've chosen to do.

[amoebaman78]

Not only can one not hold God accountable for the horrific choices that one person makes, but you can't expect God to forgive for those same horrific choices.

I think he is claiming that God does not exist, "We should find some jobs, the ghetto's broke, 'no their lazy George, I say we don't, just give'em more liquor stores and dirty coke' ... that's what God receommends"

[popsicleXstand]

God forgives everything when someone is really and truely sorry, even if he didn't reccomend it in the first place - like that of a loving parent.

The part that you quote is purely sarcasm. The point is that God wouldn't say that but it's what George does anyhow. Its left up to the listener to define the meaning.

[arlenemavis]

I think this song can realy speak to people if they beleave in what he ia sayng. When I first hear the song, I think it dosn't realy sound that pleasent, but when you hear the passion behind the song, you want to hear more. I think it,s the best protest in ten years or more!

[chadfay56]

this blows

[iXdreamXinXneon]

this is so great n.n

[AphroMagic]

welcome to music you fuckin dumb ass. every time you buy it you're putting money into some liberals pocket. if you want to listen to conservative music maybe you should start listening to "casting crowns" or some other really christian pop bull shit.

[jstardude]

This is horrible, i was about to get into this band and looked up all their lyrics and found this song. I am never giving any money to these liberal moonbats ever again instead, i will pray that GOD can soften their hearts.

[skeetinmyhair]

Enjoy talking to nothing because, god either doesn't exist or isn't listening because he doesn't "Intervene" (Meaning he is apathetic and doesn't care, which I respect)

Have you ever really questioned your religion, I was raised Catholic and I think the Catholic church is pretty hypocritical, they say, "Give money to the poor! But they horde millions," doesn't seem to make much sense, also the Bible, have you ever read it, I have three times. Continued in next post.

[Profairpotm]

If you have issues with liberal entertainers you should probably stick to gospel music and mel gibson cause there is not much else out there... Welcome to the world as it exists outside of your church bud.

[probos1]

Absolutely brilliant song.

[tenacity18]

thank you, George Bush.....

for BARACK OBAMA

[DistantScream]

I love this song , The lyrics is so fucking briliant.

[Limbylue]

Genius

[funkatram]

Not quite.

[saint1331]

this song is genius, I hope everyone really stops and listen to this.

[ortafunk]

I stand by that God Jesus has Spoken to Me In the past and there are still some stuff I would like to know. What was told to Me the reason God Jesus lets bad things to happen Is the fulfillment of Iniquity which takes a while to explain has to do with If the devil does No evil the devil cannot be Judged but If the devil does evil can be Judged and put under Total Submission

[blckcat28]

Yes but if the devil were not allowed to do bad things, he would cease to be the devil. He would be an angel. Satan lives on in the evil in the world, without it he is not satan. It's pretty simple, if you believe this bull shit that "god" told you, you seriously need to re-evaluate your intelligence.

[epiphany4z]

just love bright eyes! great song

[jeremythezombie]

ya im sure you and god just chat it up, ask him why he lets people get raped and killed all day everyday.

[ortafunk]

The Song Is Okay. I have had God Jesus speak to Me before therefore the atheist are liars saying there Is No God. And why would Christians find this Song offensive even The KJV Holy Bible Teaches about false Christians. And 9/11 was an Inside job.

[distressed7]

The president talks to himself.

[assleyyyyyy]

wow.

[theislandsrock]

This song is great! A little offensive to Christians or other religious people perhaps, but they don't have to listen to it.  I'm sick of so many things being said and done in the name of 'God'. It's absurd and annoying.

[jakefranchino]

as an avid Bush hater, atheist, and connor oberst fan, i find this song annoying in its lack of complexity...not just because it is more overt than what is typical of connor, it seems mostly like uneducated, whiny, partisan banter. Its almost like listening to my cracked out english teacher from high school complain about bush...i guess i just expect more from him.

[blckcat28]

Well, I expect connor was on drugs when he wrote this... what do you expect? but yeah, I agree, he can do MUCH better. I guess it would get across to the more simple people maybe.... Atleast it's promoting George Bush hatred :)

[TSM9356]

i love this song

[mre2u2]

Johnny Cash u ain't

[JoeGdr]

He ain't no Bob Dylan either, but Oberst's music and lyrics are no less extraordinary.

[xpowerrangerx]

we have concluded...

george bush is an arsehole.

(:

[boundless1986]

great video

[Muldfeld]

Well said, Connor!

[selfswirly]

so u want someone to die and someone to get raped because they disagree with you.

u realize thats fascism right

[Famehater]

this is class man like fkn dylan n shit!

[Saintswitchblade]

Bright Eyes, fantastic band.

[sean2339]

Someday we won't "care about the politics of chosen fools and hypocrites" I'm gonna guess December 2012. Then we will truly be happy.

[Pitoraq]

ahhahahahahahhaha typical Americans XD

Every child knows that there is no god !

Happy to live in Scandinavia

[DecapitatedKittens]

If only.

[jondeik]

The problem is in "knowing". All knowledge that is "known" for sure is an assumption. Most of this is good. Like I know I'll fall and most likely die if I jump off a building. That's good knowledge. But, there's "no God"? That's a weird assumption. Of course I also think Christians are weird in who they think God might be.

[UrInterweb]

"Gods" are human inventions. They don't really exist outside of our minds.

They were invented to cope with death and misery by people too weak to handle the world themselves, and to explain things people couldn't understand.

[thatswhatshesaid65]

god is merely a placebo.

[blckcat28]

Woah, well put.

[thatswhatshesaid65]

thats how i think of it. i mean god may not be real but if he makes people feel better and gives them hope then why not?

[blckcat28]

... Okay, I cease to agree with you. Willing ignorance is the greatest of all evils right?

[thatswhatshesaid65]

i don't agree with the part of religion that would make people believe that homosexuals are evil or that support prejudices, but i do agree in the part that would give people hope. like the drug dealers that are at their lowest and then "find god" they most likely didn't get a sign from god but if it made their life better then who really cares?

[blckcat28]

its hardly hope. It is evil with a loving mask. It's a little bit like a vicious high school group of girls. If you're not in it, you are the epitome of shame to them, and you will suffer for the rest of your high school years. Except this time they're saying eternity of damnation in the next life. What better way to do it! noone can ever be sure if its true! it is the greatest of all companys, advertisement and ploy wise.

[thatswhatshesaid65]

no i don't believe in that stuff. i think that once your dead you're just gone. depressing, i know. but i think it's true.

[blckcat28]

What makes you think this life is EVERYTHING. I feel it is more likely to just be nothing. That whole thing about "I think therefore I am", I think it's unlikly that a consciousness or being can actually be fully extuingished. Everything else in the world becomes anew and gets used again. Just because we have stopped breathing doesn't mean we cease to exist all together.

[thatswhatshesaid65]

i never said that i believed in all views of the church, there are certain things that i do not agree with. and that is one of them.

[blckcat28]

All you know to be real is what your senses feed you as information

[CrippledRetardo]

Oh god, you're dumb.

[chowfun18]

this song is on the money politically and yet blows chunks musically

[telecaster21190]

i found it musically, very strong

[doom876]

It's easy to be a critic, because you don't have to be creative or rise above being the trash you are.

[UrInterweb]

Enjoy your bullshit, it's much easier to agree.

[DonnieBrownIII]

Abortion or beat the shit out of a child that one didn't want in the first fucking place? Abortion or let some dumb addict white trash bitch raise it? Abortion or put the child in a garbage bag? There should be a license to breed.

[doom876]

I agree, and there should be a critical thinking skills test, a booklet where the cantidate's records and policies, along with several essey questions on important national issues given to you when you pass that test, and you should have to read it and pass a test to show what you know of the cantidates before you vote. If you tryt to bypass this system, you recieve a treson charge, because cockshits like that elect Bushes.Also, no voting for the person you wanna have a beer with, that's treason

[ibaneznorwood]

I agree with Connor. The president is a dousch! He is not the choosen one, but instead the self choosen asshole. He doesnt talk to god, he doesnt help the poor, the women, the children. No-one! He helps himself and all the Billionaires for Bush fucks. Look at the gas prices. Know who makes money off all that? Bush and his sheep!

So fuck of you Republicans and lets get Connor up in this shit!!!

[imcrouse]

Fuck yeah man fuck these republicans they are fucked up assholes. we need a change

[nonamist]

obama isn't any better. We don't need change, we need a revolution.

[elscrufferino]

well, we all wanna change the world.

[DecapitatedKittens]

If someone is raped, I think they have no right to get an abortion. The child was not the rapist. Put the child for adoption if you don't want it. There is no excuse to end a life that has not taken a life. If you get an abortion, that child does not go to heaven, it is not reborn in some other way, it will never come back. You ended the chance of it's life and existance, period.

[DecapitatedKittens]

But, I still believe that women should have the right to have an abortion. It may not be right, but the option should still be there.

[XCastitatsLiliumX]

Every time a woman has a period, every time a man masturbates or wears a condom they're killing a potential baby. Abortion is just an extra period, and there's no way in hell it should be banned.

[TheBudderDog]

you sound like some kind of religious fanatic

[MonickerL]

It's a tongue in cheek song about President Bush, who seems to think he can speak with his God.

[ls1z28chris]

I don't agree that it is "tongue in cheek."

If you view/read his speeches, it is quite clear President Bush believes he is working on behalf of his deity.

[doom876]

Here is an excuse to end a life, they are a parasite no better then a tapeworm in your body, some people may believe that they live on perfectly happy after death(you are not a spiritual authority), and there are way to many people here already and we are too stupid to even feed them all. In fact, we need to round up all the stupid people, and gas em. That is at least every Bush supporter. We need a way to measure stupid though, besides weather you have a rebel flag and more then a small handgun

[purger07]

you are a mother fucker that has no faith in life and obviously you haven't seen pictures of children by the age of 12 weeks.for your information that baby has legs,arms it breaths and the blood circulates...sooo we can see that it has all the parts of a human,the same ones like you and me.

if she makes the choice to have unprotected sex,then she probably knows the consequences and she has to take full responsibility of her choice.

bite me bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sasha127]

I'm pretty sure if a woman gets raped she didn't make the choice

[jsa4ever92]

I don't agree with Connor Oberst's political views but he is one hell of a writer. simply put, he is the Bob Dylan of the 2000s

[glynnth]

No, I think it's the OTHER ONE the Prez is talkin to... (aka - the one with the horns and the pointy tail)

glth

[purger07]

abortion=murder

[blownty]

choice=freedom..

[labambajuice]

amen to that

[eastsackevster]

War is BAD

Abortion for ANY reason is OKAY

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[LAD3393]

abortion is killing!

[shamstar]

I saw one clip on tv with bush praying and when he thought no was looking he opened his left eye. Anyone seen it or know where i can find it?

[thatonecoolkiddo]

The president doesn't talk to God.. it's his imagination. God wouldn't want him to do half the things he's doing.

Conor is genius.

[mihesiarp]

Connor Oberst is absoulutly amazing.(If on hasn't noticed.)
