Obama Supporters on Climate Bill Costs: No Thanks!

Inauguration Day 2013
While Peter was out of the country, his producer, Tom Elliott, hit up the inauguration to speak with Obama's most die-hard fans about the big-ticket item the president outlined for his second term: climate change. While everyone likes the idea of "fixing" the climate, how many would support actually paying the legislative cost? Keep in mind, these inaugural attendees traveled from all over the country; if Obama can count on anyone, surely he can count on their support -- right?

Due to insane security restrictions, we had a lot of difficulty making our way to the Mall. As a result, we interviewed far fewer people than we would have liked. In fact, every person we spoke with appears in this video.

A number of people have suggested malicious racial intent is at play due to only black people being featured; this is plainly ridiculous. As any attendee of the inauguration will attest, the vast majority of the crowd was black. We asked virtually every person who walked by to chat -- our only criteria was whether they seemed approachable. Not a single white person agreed to talk. We did not even realize there were no white people in the video until commenters began suggesting we intentionally filtered them out.

Our point was to highlight how liberals are often quick to endorse grandiose ideas but are less excited to personally pay "their fair share" to help realize those objectives. Having white people appear hypocritical in this way would have been just as effective as having anyone else.**

Obama wants to be king. This country is headed towards fascism. The people interviewed have NO CLUE that this global warming IS NOT caused by anything mankind is doing. They are like lemmings, following each other off a cliff. Waiting for the govt to tell you what to do ? What nonsense.

These people remind me of Boxer from Animal Farm, as well as the sheep: "Obama is always right."

Black people do not control Obama, on any level. yes Black people blindly support him, however there is NO benefit for them. Support isnt, saying YAY OBAMA... Its the Oligarchs, Wall street and Corporations that fund and back him. There are maybe 40 million Black People in America with absolutly NO economic power (Spending Influince Yes), But no economic power. Economics Drive Politics.... Period. I don't support the guy @ all.

Your thumbnail and comment are like starburst candy. They contradict one-another.

The maker of this video knows that its easy to find fools of any color anywhere. He chose not to interview any intelligent black people for the purpose of trying to make all black supporters of Obama look foolish.

Liberals have done the same thing with Tea Partiers pretty effectively over the last 4 years.
