Awesome! I'm proud you commented. I couldn't have said it better myself!

[hkct45]

ONE BIG QUESTION...Were you adorned in McCain/Palin garb for these interviews?

Your other video, "Why do you support John McCain?" you obviously had some form of B.O. paraphenalia with you judging by the responses you received, "That's why I'm not voting for him," while pointing in your direction.

Just curious, not a bad video none the less.

[jeffvlarson]

I had a McCain pin and red sweatshirt on under my rain coat. But when the time came I couldn't bring myself to shed the rain coat. I'll admit this is a HUGE bias, but I have to say that even before they saw me, the McCain people seemed somewhat aggravated while the Obama people were simply elated.

That's really what I wanted to contrast between the two groups. It's not that one group is smarter than the other, its just that one group is voting FOR a candidate and the other is voting AGAINST him.

[czechkayaker]

These answers were alot better than the ones received at the Republican rallies.

[ihatewhereilive]

these people are completely ignorant. look at his credentials? lol. he graduated from an ivy league school just like every other politician, and what other jobs has he had? he was a city planner and a senator for less years than i have fingers. hes unqualified.

[aquatix]

I enjoy how the one woman claimed, If all the other major countries in the world have a shared health plan, then maybe we should become like that. If that makes us more socialist, we need to do it. This comes down to admitting that if someone has a better routine, then change is necessary. However, most people have trouble accepting new ideas/ways of thinking.

[asunsetinmyveins]

10.2% unemployment. Was that the change you were hoping for? McCain wasn't the best person for the job, but he was the better choice of the two for sure. Barack Obama is just giving Jimmy Carter the second term he never had.

[AzureAcerbus]

These answers weren't very intelligent either. Ive seen the video of the Mc'Cain supporters too. But i think the Obama Supporters, did a better job of saying their opinions. The Mc'cain supporters seemed to be, blinded by propaganda, and Bias.

Not saying that either sides answers were all that great. Didn't seem like either side was all that well informed.

Most of these blacks wouldn't give two shits if barack wasn't black

These videos just prove how absolutely ignorant voters are, especially sad that this is outside of my hometown in Philly.

Anyone with two brain cells to rub together could see that McCain was the best pick

[americana83]

Glad to know you were ashamed of your country before Obama won, that puts you in the same boat as Mrs Obama.

Now the only "hope" left is the 2010 elections, if we fail, this country will be bankrupt by 2012, with a one party tyranny controlling the prez and congress.

[laurakguerra]

actually we inherited a failing economy from the republicans.

we are going to have to deal with some tough decisions, but we know that in the end he will lead us to an american legacy that we all can be proud of.

stricter education; a focus on renewable resources and utlizing sciences to help advance our economy.

i will take that any day over that moose killing ignorant woman.

[poppedcollaredgreens]

as he further thrusts us into absolute insolvency

[laurakguerra]

you have some guy video taping on his camera...i would have told you he was awesome as well.

it was freezing that day and if i had known he was a mccain supporter i would have taken out my cold hands and slapped him around a little:)

but the best man won. and obama has engaged not only america but the world. i can say with pride that i am an american now.

thanks to obama.

[papertreegun]

Tell me whats so great about america? This proves that its full of brainless frauds and idiots. Come on "I like him because hes awesome!" Thats completely idiotic. They dont know anything and these are the people who vote. They vote for superficial reasons Jesus Christ. Damn people read read and educate yourselves its embarrasing. One word to describe americans "superficial" and its true. Too much tv and video games and that is the end results. So sad.
