The Voice of Generation Obama (Kasper Verkaik, VPRO 2009)

[RondelleDerable]

Interesting look at the "youth" movement in the Obama campaign. What I missed from the filmmaker, or from VPRO (as a gatekeeper of sorts) was a critical look at this movement. Was Obama taking advantage of youth's idealism? Its wishful thinking? Would love to see a follow-up to this film, see what this youth thinks of Obama's bank bail outs, for example. I'm not asking for pessimism, but a little reality perhaps.

@RondelleDerable

This wasn't a real documentary.

It missed contrasting views, for an example.

Obama is da man

[akieya02]

People need to get a life, sitting around the Internet watching videos of someone you claim to not like and even worse "hate"? You dont even know that man..your party lost the election..get over it. If half of you would spend the amount of time and energy pertaining to bettering your own lives then being bitter watching this President all day, this country wouldn't be struggling like it is. Both Wall Street and the American people are to blame for this mess. Take accountibility and move on

[caymanhost]

It is sad.

The exploitation of the young, written by the young and delivered by a Wall Street servant who happens to be a good actor.

A generation and a nation brainwashed and propagandized, and slowly turned into communist drones. This man is no Martin Luther King.

What a cruel, cruel hoax.

How different is Obama from Bush???

How different is Obama from McCain??????

[wakkaboom1987]

look at all those white people behind Obama. i bet they're regretting everything they did for him after realizing that his stronghold and main reason for his WIN WIN came from a young smart white kid who went to catholic school.

Black people don't need to know, shhhh.

[SaveTheClouds]

God Bless the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama!

[quaffer22]

Remarkably;

HOPE & CHANGE will most likely be the campaign slogan of ALL candidates in the next election cycle.

Therefore UN-DOING as much as possible, that Obama's Socialist administration did.

Can we destroy America?

Yes we can!

Can we destroy the Constitution?

Yes we can!

Can we take away every Americans rights?

Yes we can!

Aren't you glad Obama was elected?

[christhehax0r]

[zacky89]

Yes Indeed.

Jon Favreau,

TED SORENSON, SPEECHWRITER FOR JFK.

Even The Funny Guy, Bushy

had a speechwriter.

that is the author of the new book.

;-)

[wakkaboom1987]

I hate Obama and I hope this video does too :D

[leninstreet]

Let's see that hope and yes we can after a couple of years of bailout and rising unemployment. Obama is a product of the corrupt American political system. The system is fueled by money and influence. It is build upon ignorance of obvious truths and emphasis of blatant lies. Until America is ready to face reality words will remain useless.
