Hello - speaking as a Brit, I have to say that I'm amazed that a super-power like America, DOESNT have a National Health Service....How can a civilised country condemn a proportion of its citizens to a life that could be ruined overnight by the change of circumstances that illness or accident brings? It seems crazy to me.

I love this song. Why can't we just make a song with peace in it and people can listen and understand. I mean we try to send messages and all this stupid stuff gets worst. WHY!! Has John Lennons message gotten anywhere? I love this song too! But really just think all the people who are saying obama is crazy and making all these wars and stuff. And it isn't just the republicans ethier. Sometimes I get crazy and say mean things (Like something I said on a different vid) But I just want it to STOP!

People tend to hate what they don't understand. I happen to like Obama. But, for me, he's trying to do a bit too much fast. I LIKE what he's doing... but he's gotta slow down a bit. :/ Great song.

i would vote for obama, if obama is just obama
but i would die for obama, if obama is a socialist - and what's wrong about it?

what's wrong with giving the poor the medical care they need?
medical care isn't a commodity, it's a human right, and that is not a privilege of the rich,
capitalism is about the more you work, the more rights you have
but if you've been deprived of proper medical care and education from the start, no matter how hardworking or gifted you are - you would stay poor - end
