I don't know about you guys, but this music video is pretty cool...For a political music video.
The artist explains why he made it on the Huffington Post. I watched the "Super Tuesday" dealy. I was flipping between NBC and CNN...Friggen repetitive, how many times do I need to be told woman voted for Hillary and Men voted for Obama, say it once, demote the information to the constant scrolling ticker. If sober I possibly could have memorized each graph. Either way, it could have been made more entertaining, I notice some of the Cable News reporters always seem nervous when they report. Relax ladies you look great.
Now, for a more thought provoking video. Here is one from The Real News. This clip features an interesting analysis from Phyllis Bennis. Bennis explains what can be thought up from the few words each candidate shared about the topic of Iran.

2. just wanted to add how fed up people are with government, when do they have pay cuts? they have jobs that are non important, maybe we should vote on cutting back pay to government officials, like get this job done right or 20% goes to charity??

3. Phyllis Bennis makes a good case for supporting Obama over Hillary. Obama wants to take a different approach to the Iran issue. I'll bet that if he is the nominee, the republicans will just go NUTS over the idea of diplomacy instead of bombs. The Christo-fascists and Fux Noise will be screaming, "See! We told you he's a Muslim fifth columnist!" They will be joined by the "Isreal Lobby." It could be fun.
Contrast that to Hillary who says that diplomacy has to wait for a year just because of some ridiculous notion about the "prestige" of a new presidency. What?!?
Obama knows what he's talking about. Hillary seems to be winging it.

4. Obama should start setting the groundwork for relations with Iran. First thing he should do it let the UN know he is unhappy with the continue Sanctions the UN has against Iran nuclear program. The NIE made it clear that Iran has stopped its weapons program, so the UN should stop the Sanctions against Iran.
Obama should do that now so if elected, he would be able to get off to a meaningful start with Iran.
Obama should also state he is willing and will reopen the US Embassy in Iran

5. What a joke. Both Democrat candidates are determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq. The Atomic Ayatollas will eat both of these idiots lunch.
Need proof: Can you say, Albright/Jong Ill!!!!!!!

6. ---- PRESS RELEASE ----
HILLARY & OBAMA BOTH Socialists and Dangerous for America!!!
Hillary and Obama publicly attacks and destroys marriage by the policies they support to rape the minds of children through their depraved sex education programs in order the perpetuate the vicious circle of dysfunction and abuse unto next generation (who is now ever more uneducated, damaged, and dependent on the very liberal & barbaric government that socially-engineered their economic plantation for a harvest of future votes.)
What the socialist Progressives do is actually a typical method that dictators use to wean a society away from democracy. They economic and social policies are designed to FAIL in the long term even though on the outside they are all disguised to give the people what they want (yet without responsibility). One tactic is to strip children away from parental guidance and wisdom by using a combination of secular humanistic indoctrination into the schools combined with creating the songs or anthems of rebellion within the generation.
A soviet Communist Party official once said, "If we can kill the national pride and patriotism of just one generation, we have won that country. By making readily available drugs of various kinds, by giving a teenager alcohol, by praising his wildness, by strangling him with sex literature, and by advertising to his and her, (Psycho-Political Preparation) we can create the necessary attitude of Chaos, Idleness, and worthlessness.”
Sound at all familiar? ... Maybe MTV, VH1, how about our culture in general? The Socialist Progressives take advantage of the average person's ignorance. This is the doctrine that the advertisers and large networks and corporations have accepted, while they refuse to admit that it is true.
Individuals become conditioned to care less about their family and own children and lose the desire to care about what is absolutely true or false because the secular humanistic social engineers have used that nation's self-centered attitude to enslave them into a state of apathy and relativism. All the media has to do is influence peer pressure and like a herd of sheep falling off a cliff Americans suffer.
Wake UP AMERICA!!!

8. OMG Obama has received the coveted Will.i.am endorsement!
I'm still waiting to see who Fergie backs before casting my vote!

9. Obama is the future and the person our nation needs. However, as a citizen of this country (which I love dearly), I will be just as proud to vote for Hillary, if she should win the nomination.
I think it's interesting (if not sad) and scary that some of us would turn our noses at diplomacy.

10. Hey Hoard,
I didn't watch the video, but here's my take on Obama. Now keep in mind I'm a Republican or neo-con, Christian-facist, war monger, racist, Jesus freak, Hitlerite...or whatever Republicans are called today, I'm considered one of those.
With that aside, I fell for the "take" like everyone else. Change, Hoard, that was the cry and I was into it.
But, the two front runners for president are Hillary Clinton, a 20 year Washington insider and John McCain a 20 year Washington insider. Two robo politicians from two robo political parties.
Obama isn't, or so they say, a robo
politician. So if change is the word, then he is the one most likely to get the wheels rolling.

11. GOOD BLOG, JEFF. WE CARE FINALLY COMING TO THE END OF 8 YEARS HORROFIC FORIEGN AND DOMESTIC POLICY. SADLY, MANY DIED AS A RESULT. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT OBAMA THAT MAKES ME THINK HE IS VERY SPECIAL AND CAME ALONG JUST WHEN WE AMERICANS NEED HIM THE MOST. IT WILL BE A SAD DAY IN JANUARY IF HILLARY OR JOHN ARE RAISING THEIR RIGHT HAND. WE MUST PUT OUR DIFFERENCES ASIDE AND VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS HONEST, A GOOD FAMILY MAN AND LOVES HIS COUNTRY NOT CURRENCY. AMERICA NEEDS BARRACK OBAMA.
