whohoo!
Mike,
It’s true that they are ramping up the Iran rhetoric. While I like The Matrix and I applaud the effort in this video, it seems to equate Bush, Grandpa McSame, Clinton and Obama on this issue. I would disagree with that assesment. Of those four, Obama is the one that has been saying that diplomacy needs to be used. In fact, his position was attacked by that idiot Bush just yesterday in Israel. Call me overly optimistic (no one has ever called me that), but I do not believe that Obama is just a part of the “Matrix” that is seeking to start yet another war.
The thing we should really be looking out for is an attack on Iran before the election. This administration has been working toward a fascist takeover since day one. They are not so blind that they can’t see their whole world crumbling. The question is, will they allow themselves to be unseated? Very interesting times indeed.
I second SPK’s notion that the video implies that Obama is the same evil force as McSame and Bushy.
I’m tired of this idea that the difference between the candidates is Coke and Pepsi and they’re all evil corporate heads with slightly different agendas. This ultimately ends up disenfranchising the young voting base. We witnessed Gore fall apart in Oregon and other states towards the end of his general election when young voters were convinced that he was a Republican in disguise (which if they had picked up a book or looked at his work in environmental legislation, they would have found that mantra to be hollow). We also wouldn’t be in this war and eight years down the wrong road, stuck in an oil seep, in one of the most critical climate tipping points in the history of humans and earth. In truth, I think this Coke/Pepsi thing is worn out and we’ve left it in the dust…
Vote with your dollar? Yes. Vote for a candidate who is willing to stand up to these corporations and change horrible policy? I should hope so…
Sean and Brian: I appreciate your thoughtful comments. The lumping of Obama in with the three little Bushes made me pause for a second before posting this. The quality and the seamlessness of this clever video overcame my reservations concerning the portrayle of Senator Obama. Hopefully the will of the American people will be heard in the November elections and President Obama will prove this video wrong allowing America to finally become an intelligent country instead of a puppet show sponsored by transnational corporate death worshippers.
Amen brother!
