Politics Is BULLSH1T

I remember when I first started paying attention. Back when MTV played music videos, and Ren & Stimpy ruled Nickelodeon, and rock and roll on the radio actually rocked. I was only eleven or twelve years old, but I knew it even then: POLITICS IS BULLSH1T ---

And I remember when I was first old enough to vote. I was a freshman in college, and I wanted to care, but then I had to choose between Sleepy and Stupid, and the Supreme Court decided the whole thing anyway. I knew it then too, and so did everyone I knew: POLITICS IS BULLSH1T ---

Never in my young life had I listened to a politician speak and heard anything but bullshit. But then one day, a good friend of mine sent me a link to this speech.

It was Barack Obama speaking to a rally in South Carolina after his victory in the primary there.

Now, I am NOT a Democrat. I am NOT a Republican. I AM A YOUNG AMERICAN. And I know when I see some BULLSH1T. CNN is BULLSH1T. Red and Blue is BULLSH1T. Presidents are usually BULLSH1T. But, there's something different about this guy.

I've never felt like this about anybody running for President. But I gotta say, I'm feeling pretty strongly on this one. Strong enough to sit here and make this video. Which is just about done now, I guess. So... are you gonna vote?

Joe - thanks for doing this. I recommend also going to Nevada (or the nearest swing state) and knocking on doors for the campaign. I've gone with a group of friends twice now and it has literally been one of the most life-affirming and energizing experiences of my life. Nobody wants to wake up on Nov. 5 to find out the nearest swing state was lost by a couple hundred votes and John McCain is President...

You can disagree with a candidate without using obscenity. Calling a person bullshit is wrong in my opinion.

we are all Americans, Keep in mind if we don't work together, this country will suffer worst than the past eight years.

I remember seeing Gordon-Levitt on Jeopardy so many years ago. He was playing for charity, and while I don't remember the exact name of the charity, it was in the same vein as population control. I remember thinking, 'This guy's a socialist.' Well, he says he's not a democrat or a republican, I wonder if he's PFP (Peace and Freedom Party), socialist, after all.  His Mother ran for Congress on this platform. No wonder he likes O.

Actually politics, religion, etc. are bullshit. After all we are of the same species so you would think that we would want to recognize our similarities rather than our illusory differences!!!

The most unintentionally Ironic Video ever made? haha...It's funny how Obama turned out to be the biggest Bullshitter of all...bailing out Goldman Sachs, staying in Iraq and Afghanistan, giving corporate America free reign to do whatever...this video is good evidence of why you should never listen to anything celebutante actors have to say....especially about politics haha.
