  • Socialism oh whoops typo.. COMMUNISM at its finest. May I please have my ticket to leave the country when we go under?

  • Yay !!! Now that we are in EXCESS of 15 TriIIion, how's that Obama B.S. coming aIong ? ? ?

    bummer ! ! !

  • U.S. dreamers) Nice words same people same policy

  • Nothings changed.

  • I voted for Mr. Obama with great hope for the future. Now we are nearly twenty-one months into the Obama presidency, and precious little has changed. We are still holding prisoners at Guantanamo, we are still squandering American's wealth in Iraq and Afganistan, we still have a second-rate health-care system. And Obama sold out the people of the Gulf Coast in favor of protecting one of the largest and richest corportations in the world - British Petrolelum. Bush at least we could laugh at.

  • Actually I feel smart. Maybe you can tell me what it would have felt like to have four years of McCain/Palin dealing with all this stuff.

  • @doshorchatas Like Bush. I say vote independent. Dem and Rep are both to extreme just polar opposites. Obama is not forward thinking unless socialism is forward thinking

  • Fuck i bet you feel stupid, How does it feel to know that Obama is a complete tool

  • now we are about a year in it they should revise this one i wonder what just the stimulas looked like how many wraps would that be? i hope you feel like a idiot now for your vote. hope noone lives in ny cause unless your a wall street big wig you wont get a swine flu shot till later.

  • It's just an OBAMINATION, yo mama!

  • Knock, knock...I just don't think anyones home....stupid BUNCH of Pickle.': sticking out of his pant

  • Obama is a step forward! Too bad there's going to be two steps back afterward.

  • Yeah he's better, compared to McCain and Bush!

    Other than that he doesn't have a good case. He fails to understand that stimulus is just perverting the market and that such recless spending and caring about the deficit "another day" is fatal to both the government and the economy.

    He's better than McCain but that doesn't make him good. The lesser of two evils is still evil.

  • or not.

  • Why Obama ? Because boogers!

  • OBAMA is awesome!

  • Bush-Bad Guy. Obama-Good Guy. that's the premise Obama won the election on. *sigh* ok, we get it. it's getting old.he also won by running his campain on the idea of Change. Brzezinski? Rahm Emanuel? Look at Obama's cabinet choices. I'm not trying to pick a fight, but Obama ain't change. if we want real change, we need to get Dems and GOPs out of the white house. or at least someone who hasn't sold him/herself out like Obama and Mccain fully have. Someone like Ron Paul!

  • I wrote in Ron Paul...

    I knew it was a wasted vote... but I didn't wanna be a hypocrite

  • lol..dude....go back to school. Your "pretty pictures" need to be supported by FACTS.

  • BTW, if you want to see Obama's Indonesian school registration, search Google for:

    "Fransiskus Assisi School registration"

    Many links there.

  • If you want to review the entire collection of documents filed in Berg's appeal, including exhibits, you can find them here:

    tinyurl(.)com/BvO-SCDOCS

    (Berg v Obama - Supreme Court Documents)

    EVERY American should KNOW about this.

  • This document is an even shorter read, and concisely lays out the "other things", I alluded to in my "reason why" comment above:

    tinyurl(.)com/BvO-PFRFA

    (Berg v Obama - Plaintiff's First Set Of Requests For Admissions)

    You should STILL read the Petition for Cert, though.

  • The reason is that Berg assumed, with others who supported the dems, that the DNC had already verified the candidates they offered. He made large contributions, and spent a substantial amount of billable time doing lawyer things for them before Obama's eligibility was questioned. He is also a lover of the Constitution, and, among other things, forsees a serious constitutional crisis, as well as a dangerous precedent being set if Obama's ineligibility is indeed a fact, and he is elected anyway.

  • Also see Philip Berg's appeal to the Supreme Court regarding the dismissal of his challenge to Obama's eligibility to hold the office of President of the U.S.. You will see that he has a pretty strong case.

    tinyurl(.)com/BvO-PFWOC

    (Berg v Obama - Petition for Writ of Certiorari)

    It is a pdf document, and a fairly easy read, especially if you adjust your view to fit the page width, activate "Read Out Loud", and then set your "Automatic Scroll" to 2.

  • Check out this "Open Letter to Barack Obama" by John Wallace:

    tinyurl(.)com/openn

  • The United States is the land of opportunity.Sometimes it takes hard work,sometimes people fail,sometimes people give up,sometimes it motivates them to succeed.This idea if the RICH being bad is not constitutional.NOW anyone breaking laws or abusing an employee Laws should nail 'em to the wall.The Govt. has us envious of"The Rich"We need toSTOP!BOTH PARTIES r distracting us while taking from ALL OF US!Stop blaming those who have worked hard2becomeRICH PS family of6Not even close toRICH!

  • Imagine..I agree. Socialism just leads to mediocracy.

    I urge all those that voted for Obama to go into their HR departments on Monday and demand that from now on...they share the difference in their paychecks with those making less..or if they work overtime...to take that money and share it with those that didnt work overtime and see how THEY like it.

  • WHY OBAMA HAS MY VOTE: One of the most important reasons I will be voting Obama is he is the one who has demonstrated the even temperment to be president. He has always attempted to bring people together. (Remember Bush? Didn't he say he was going to be the "uniter"?) Regardless, I will be praying for our country as we all should.

  • Ron Paul never uses a teleprompter.

  • This catch phrase"bringing people together" is absolute garbage!! Communist countries are"ALL TOGETHER"Free countries think,write and speak freelyWe have different ideas,dreams&Religious freedom.THE FOUNDING FATHERS CREATED THE CONSTITUTION NOT TO BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER!They did it in order to bring on debate & dialogue to come to conclusions and make decisions that represented the PEOPLE they were voted to represent!We need All poloticians need 2 stand on whats best!NotWater evrething down!

  • Very well done and concise! - Brother Bobby, TX

  • lol, you should quit getting your facts from your butthole dumbass.

  • ontheissues(.)org

  • Both Obama AND McCain voted AGAINST the American people and FOR the wall street bailout. With that vote, BOTH of them voted to destroy the American dollar and with it, the American economy. Unless that destructive, and unconstitutional legislation is reversed in the Supreme Court of the U.S., we WILL witness the TOTAL economic collapse of America. It is a done deal.

  • Forget Ron Paul. He can't win. Don't throw your vote away. Vote karaoke Steve.

  • I hear ya, kara-kookie man. lol. :)

  • While serving in Congress during the late 70s and early 80s, Congressman Paul served on the House Banking committee, where he was a strong advocate for sound monetary policy and an outspoken critic of the Federal Reserve's inflationary measures. He presently serves on the House Committee on Financial Services and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

  • On September 02, 2008, a "Rally for the Republic" was held in the Target Center in Minneapolis, to kickoff America's "Campaign for Liberty". Before a sold out crowd of over 20,000 supporters, and millions of others who watched on tv, Representative Ron Paul delivered his speech about defining our country's place in history. He was introduced by former Rep. Barry Goldwater, Jr. Interested parties may watch the speech on CSPAN's website at the following link:

  • Ron Paul's Message to OBAMA!

    watch?v=ez5robAWmu4

  • This is a terrific video -- VERY clear about some VERY IMPORTANT facts.

  • Neither McCain nor Obama is the lesser of two evils. They are ideologically identical. The only difference between the two is the nature of the lies they tell.

    It is myth that Obama cares at all about America or Americans. Same with McCain.

  • Chomsky disagrees with you

    watch?v=kNpNzDoH1II

  • Chomsky is an irrelevant kook, MisiaFine.

  • Both McCain and Obama are on the same team. They are both enemies of the Constitution and American liberty. Both are warmongers. As members of the Counsel on Foreign Relations, they are both pushing the elitist globalist agenda. Both of them seek to bankrupt and destroy America through endless wars and wasteful programs, establish the "North American Union", and verichip all citizens. Why do you think Ron Paul has been so consistently marginalized but Obama is covered constantly by FAUX News?

  • A recent poll of career military personnel found that 68% plan to vote for John McCain and 23% plan to vote for Barack Obama, while 9% were too busy blowing up the Giant Stack of Money that is threatening to strangle the earth.

  • wesarcher, Ron Paul received more money from active duty military personnel than ALL of the other candidates COMBINED.

    I think that the BIG secret may be that Ron Paul actually won all of the primaries, but the true data has been disappeared. It would also not surprise me to hear that Ron Paul or members of his family had been threatened in some diabolical way to force him to drop out of the "official" race.

    Ron Paul IS the President.

    No fake election necessary.

    watch?v=v0VKu3U--so

  • I would never vote for president a man with two first names, exceptin if I reckon he could whup the Giant Stack of Money monster real, real bad.

  • "whup the Giant Stack of Money monster"? That is exactly what Ron Paul does best, wesarcher.

  • And when business are taxed and forced to cut jobs in order to keep their profit those middle class people will become unemployed and then enter the lower class.

    Do you really expect companies to simply say, "Oh, OK we have higher taxes, lets just accept less profits"  get real! They will increase costs and cut expenses, expenses like JOBS!

  • At my business, we pay more in employee health insurance costs than we pay in business income tax. Obama's plan works better for our business, $3k for each full time job and a 50% tax break on employee health insurance, both us and our employees will be doing better under Obama.

    BTW, Obama isn't raising the corporate tax rate and Fact Check found that the number of small businesses affected by the income tax increase would be far below 600,000 - not 23 million as McCain claimed.

  • The president does not have the constitutional authority to tax anything or anyone. That authority is reserved to congress and congress alone.

  • Yes, and if the Democrats have a majority in the House & Senate after Nov. 4th, Obama WILL be able to implement virtually anything he wants-This is Not Good!! JUST THE WAY IT FAILED WHEN THE REPUBLICANS HAD ALL 3!! at the same time.

  • I worry about giving the vast, sweeping, nearly dictatorial power that Bush has taken upon himself to grant the office of the presidency to ANYONE but Ron Paul (because he would abolish them).

    Handing such power over to a relative upstart with the highly questionable integrity and credibility of Obama is much more than just a totally bad idea, in my opinion.

  • Perhaps, BUT-read between the lines, actually just read the lines ! Obama, Biden,Polozzi etc. Will NOT renew the Bush tax cuts. Now I can't stand Bush, But everyone I know(NOT EVEN CLOSE TO RICH) did receive refund/tax break checks! these tax cuts will be cancelled in 2010,2011, & 2012 at least. TO Families making way,way less than $250,000. OBAMA will not discuss this! MCCANE has completely screwed up this whole issue as well. ELECT ALL FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS,REPUBLICANS<INDEPENT­ENTS

  • Again, you have your facts wrong.

    According to credible sources (FactCheck*org & Tax Foundation), Obama is only allowing the Bush tax cuts on the top two tax brackets to expire. On the lower four tax brackets, he is lowering taxes.

    Everyone making less than $250k/yr will receive a tax break! EVERYONE.

    Please review your facts from credible sources before posting (or else you make yourself look like a misinformed fool)

  • clear choice Obama

  • And the other thing is that it shows what Obama will do, or what he wishes to do, or what he think of as an expedient policy, &c. It shows why Obama's promises are better than McCain's, but it has nothing to do to prove the voters that they have any special reason to trust any of these wise and honest persons.

    I like voice and delivery here even better than the visual side. I bet the narrator has all the text with single words marked, like at 2:50.

  • What I don't like in this adversitement is it shows the crew that McCain collaborates with and doesn't show what kind of people Obama collaborates with. I can't say that I'm a very enlightened person or that I know too much of the matter, so that's just an opinion - the president of a country can not execute a policy if it contradicts the account of certain people who help him, on the matter of expediency of this policy. So I would like it a little better if it showed Obama's affiliates.

  • Trickle down?Build peoples savings from the ground up?

    Weather itsBushClintonMcCain orObama folks it HASNTmattered when its come to spending our hard earned tax$!We dont need either party taking way2 much of r hard earned$ and then"giving it back"the way they see fit. Paying taxes IS very important to r local state&nations infrastructure But! If u allow each working American to take home more$each week Itll benefit all of us up frontSimple economics101 I 'member learnin' it inPUBLICgradeSchool!

  • Well done video. I like Obama. Can someone tell me what bills,policies or ideas listed in this video has Obama actually put forth in the state of Illinois? Specifically? He's been a state Senator for a while now What has he implimented in his home state What bills has he authored or even co-authored in the U.S. Senate

    It dosn't have to have passed Can someone help me? Tell me 1 thing I can use to tell people why we should give Obama jurisdiction over the other 49 states & our military?

  • Great video. Let's hope the Obama enthusiasm translates into votes. Please VOTE.

  • Nice!

  • more people need to do thing like this... good job Lucas

  • Thank you! We need this to go viral big time...

    Go Obama!!!!

  • Obama's energy policy is one thing I don't like about him. I don't think Obama is catching any flack for his cap-and-trade proposals simply because McCain is proposing one too (only a little different,) so it's not a talking point. Obama's position is better than McCain's but that shouldn't be enough.

  • We Couldn't agree more! We created a music video in the above vid response on the same page. People are giving it great reviews

  • excellent!!

  • Great - well organized - excellent explanation.

  • Wonderful. Clear, concise. . . and true.

  • excellent! clear graphics, concise text

  • Too bad, Obama will STILL LOSE because Palin is the one who will BEAT him and send McCain to the White House.

  • Do you make $250K a year???? then you'll lose to :-)

  • Awesome video. Great job putting all the important points together in such a short video. EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS!!

  • This is excellent. Thank-you!

  • Excellent teaching tool. It's so easy to understand and remember, and since it is short and to the point, it will hold people's attention. Thank you - I will spread the news. Mickiboop

  • McCain hides his tax agenda for the largest corporations behind the guise of 'Joe the plumber' and uneducated whites, (McCains largest voter base), buy into it so easily because they just have no real idea what Obama offers for their blindness and the shouting of 'socialist' even when they don't realise that over two thirds of current govt. programs can be seen as 'socialist' by any measure of the term.

  • re-do with a voice-over by George Page or Richard Attenborough and this is ready for prime time.

  • You so have my vote Barack. You are an inspiration in the way you've conducted your campaign and a true contrast to the other side.

  • This is already a little out of date. Just this month the democratic Iraqi government  set plans for provincial elections, one of the most important benchmarks for a "political solution". But the more the Iraqi campaign meets the "benchmarks", the less you hear about it in the news. "If it bleeds, it leads."

  • read again

  • Good facts to share.

    Too bad most can't open their eyes to the truth.

  • Very good presentation!

  • Great video and it spells it out perfectly for anyone to understand!!! Great job!!!

  • Great video!

  • Worst President Ever music video:

    watch?v=5JHbFQqSljE&fmt=18

  • you must be very ignorant or you must be part of top 5%.

  • great video!

  • ok so quick question : what happens when you artificially inflate the median income?

  • Nice job! Great-looking piece with easy-to-understand facts!

  • This is a great video! I must disagree that nuclear is universally a bad idea though. I believe Barack disagrees as well. :)

  • He is not totally against it. His main concern is the disposal of the radioactive waste they create. It's not a cure all either and a propable the most costly solution to decrease our dependence of fossil fuels. There has to be a balance of all energy sources in order to create jobs, lower oil consumption and take us away from dependence on foreign countries for our energy. We don't need them blackmailing or controlling our economy.

  • Awesome! Personally, I've been hoping someone with great vision towards the future, especially as it involves energy and a green society, would come along. It excites me to see the possibility of this happening! McCain's record sure doesn't match what he now says. He even voted against wind energy. It seems to be a backward-looking, middle-east dependent approach. Drilling for oil is not going to help for years and will be limited at best.

  • McCain and palin sucks hes want to distory U.S.A

  • Excellent overview of the choice before the nation.

    Adding to another comment about the irony of Republicans attacking Obama's "socialism":

    Wage Inflation for the Working Class = Bad

    Asset Inflation for the Wealthy = Good

    Socialism for the Working Class = Bad

    Socialism for the Wealthy = Good

    Average Americans aren't important enough to merit social safety nets.

    Wealthy Americans are too important to leave unprotected.

  • Great video, funny how the Republicans call tax cuts for the middle class "socialism" or "welfare" but consider tax cuts for the richest 1% to be "capitalism". Scarier even that some middle class people agree with it, sure lets give huge tax cuts to Hollywood actors and Wall Street executives that the middle class essentially pays for because that is Republican trickle-down economics.

  • Death to Hollywood actors!!

  • You sicken me friend.

  • I like Obama! But!Over40%of working Americans DONT PAY taxes because their earnings r below their states min. tax threshhold.If Obama is going to give95%of Americans a tax break including those who dont pay taxes it IS welfare & it IS a bit Socialistic.Lets not kid Rrselves.Obama wants to take $ from people who have a lot &give it to those who dont have enough. Barack is MUCH better than Bush& McCain-but lets not look ignorant! Lets all get off our asses!& hold ALL these politicians accountable!

  • You have your facts wrong. About 32% of Americans don't pay income tax. They still pay payroll taxes on their earnings - which makes them taxpayers. People who do not pay income tax don't make a living wage (isn't it scary that's 32% of America?) According to the Tax Foundation (where these stats come from) the payroll tax rate has crept up faster than inflation and the rise in incomes, meaning that the individuals not making a living wage are paying more taxes now than they used to.

  • (I exceeded the allowed character count lol)

    however, I do shudder like a Goldwater Republican when I hear Obama talk about "Apollo-scale" govt energy programs (Big Government, yikes!)

  • There are plenty of areas to cut costs in order to put it towards creative nation helping solutions that actually save money and in some instances make money because you create a larger tax base with the growth of jobs, sales, new industries here instead of offshoring everthing. There is a wider picture than just looking at it like these projects are "Apoll-scale" government. After all government works best when it actually looks out for the security of all not just a elite group of money hogs.

  • excellent!!

    I like how you keep IDEAS front and center,

    the visuals and music nuance the argument rather than emotionally manipulate (the fire and hose imagery --> Iraq is superb)

    Intellectually, the line "Obama believes that the middle class is the economic engine" (vs. trickle down) is perfect, it undermines the Republican argument that they alone understand the relation between tax cuts and growth.

  • Brilliant. Spread it. Spread it on.

  • Dis is great Lucas! Makes is simple for a guy like me to understand.

  • I sent this vid over to my uncle at huffington post. Its going VIRAL!
