where would modern politics be without youtube and empowered constituents with basic editing skills?

"... because [Obama] knows it's very difficult to get Americans to believe something they know is false" -McCain

Now that is exactly what you want to be saying if you yourself are trying to get Americans to believe something you know is false. This is textbook psychology 101.

8 more years of Republican rule, 100 years of war in Iraq, and war with Iran, Syria, Russia and China.

All of which are still possible. I shudder to think of what the world would look like with another 8 years of Republican rule.

I await the flames for this comment but...

I actually didn't really get the point of the vid... One one hand he's saying he disagrees with Bush and on the other, he's saying it's not right for Obama to use the term Bush/McCain in describing his policies (or 3rd Bush term). Why are these arguments contrary (which I assume was the point the vid was trying to make )?

Have I missed something?

Watch the video again buzz. If you still don't "get the point", please remove yourself from the gene pool.

I really hope this video gets the pub it deserves. Someone get it to Keith Olbermann.

Methinks some individuals need more flashy lights and Faux Newsesque graphics with waving flags to get a grasp on what is being discussed.

It isn't enough to just listen and blindly agree. What matters is whether one can listen, comprehend, and analyze what is being said.

Sit down. Relax. Open the ears. Turn on the light bulb in your head... and listen to each and every word said. Exercise that brain.

Yes, you have missed something. He says that his opponents are saying that voting for him is just the same as voting for Bush because they are so alike. In the speech he's making in front of the green screen he's trying to say that he's different to Bush, that you're voting for another man entirely, not the same at all.

And yet, from a prior interview, as showed in the green screen insert, we see that he has been, and has stated that he has been, pretty much bang on exactly the same as Bush in all policies that make sense.

He is Bush in another guise, and if anyone votes the dithering old fool in, the ol' US of A is doomed.

Can you trust this man, he shouldn't be president and he should retire from politics ashamed of his flip floppy vision on the world and his ideas.
