This is the height of douchebaggery! The fawning is enough to make a person gag!

When I first saw this I thought it was another SNL skit - but NO!!! It is not! It is just a bunch of idiotic, yes Obama, "delusional" celebrities promoting the idea of making a cult hero out of a politician who is sure to disappoint as all people do when elevated to that level of sainthood before actually DOING anything...Hillary should just air that as a commercial - McCain is sure to! Thank God I voted for Hillary - at least I still have my dignity in tact :)

Hahahaha, dcastle, I know exactly what you mean. McCain will be sure to use footage of the Obama zealots who look like they don't know if they want to cum or cry every time the man opens his mouth.

What's more predictable?

1) Another lame slogan from the Obama camp?

2) Another yawner of a speech from "the best speaker the world has ever seen?"

3) Another Obama supporter shedding tears and wetting his pants at every syllable uttered?

4) Another Jonestown.

This is the translation of a koolaide drinking, cult-following, totally deluded, latino Obama supporter:

"Today bombs fell on children in an air strike south of Baghdad. How many have died because of lies? How did we lose our hearts? What was the purpose of this war? Who profits from this injustice? Who voted for this tragedy?

And who told us the truth?

With him, yes we can change.
Let our votes count as well. Everyone for peace. We must overcome the greed. We must say no to Halliburton.

Yes we can change.
What did FEMA do after Katrina? This inequality must end. No more racism or homophobia. We can be one people.
When a bridge falls in Minnesota, and at Walter Reed they fail to heal. This war will cost us trillions. A high price to pay for killing.

Yes, I want change. If you want change, we can heal the world! If you want change, together we can heal the world. Si. Se Puede.


My my. You Clinton supporters MUST be right! I agree! Obama supporters are deluded, vacuous cult worshippers! All we know how to do is blindly follow and chant! We certainly don't pay attention to any issues! We're too busy being star struck! We don't REALLY want to get involved and work for change. We're not really INSPIRED to speak up, or to work to make a difference in this country, or reclaim our democracy! We don't know what matters! These aren't issues worth paying ANY attention to, or trying to change!

Let's leave it all up to the Clinton supporters to tell us what's REALLY important! So, Clinton supporters? We're listening (because that's what we do). WHAT issues should we wake from our Obama Koolaid induced slumber to consider? Please, tell us what YOU think is so much more important!

We know what we're chanting FOR, and we know you can't stand it. And you want us to stop.

So please! Tell us what issues are more important! Tell us WHY you want us to stop chanting, and start supporting YOUR hopes for the country. You DO have hopes for this country, right? C'mon! Show us the light!

we all want the same things. We just believe Hillary is more capable of getting us there. And we know Hillary.

Every day that passes, Obama is being revealed. And I do not like what I see.

As a Hillary supporter you obviously know a lot about jack boots. Obama is the opposite of what your implying. Hillary is appealing to blue collar workers, and trying to take over via minority group (women voters) - similar to Hitler when he ran for election as President against Paul Von Hindenberg. So I think you've got it reversed. Obama is the candidate that is bringing people together, and doesn't need to hurl attacks at Hillary - which is similar to the Hitlers brown shirts.
Get it straight - if any parallels can be drawn, it's Hillary is similar to Hitler.
Actually no one is similar to Hitler, it's a childish argument. I'm only saying that if you do use it, then stick by the facts of how it happened.

no, actually, i believe that you have it wrong jcharliemiller, although obama is not a murderous tyrant like hitler, he is preying on the fact that most young americans (who have very little practical life experience given their young age) are hungry to see america's image restored in the world given the iraq war (what american does not want this?). this preying on this inner feeling of innocent americans is similiar to the way that hitler preyed on german's demoralization post WWI. what is unsettling to rational people, is that altough the obama party gatherings at the filled stadiums in each city he visits, reflects the need of the young voters, black voters, and other disaffected white voters, to feel good, there is absolutely no substance to this man, very little experience, and a false sense of coming together, like that of hitler, following, with no real reason, except that one feels bad about oneself......THIS is what is scary to me and others about the obama (oprahfication of america) cult.

Sen. Clinton is "trying to take over via minority group (woman voters)" ? That's a pretty large minority group, oh wait! Over 50% plus one makes it a majority group!

Actually for the first time in my life I am voting for the Republican nominee, John McCain. I have a much less regard for Sen. Clinton than I do for Sen. Obama, and my statement was not aimed at him but at the obnoxious "cult of personality" that has grown up around his candidacy.

I know this post will not be well received, and I am sure will get some snarky replies, but I am serious.

This video and the actions of Obama supporters, the fervor out there, is scaring the crap out of me. I watched this video and did not feel inspired at all. I felt an overwhelming sense of panic and dred. It reminds me of scenes like this one:

I am not saying Obama is hitler, but I am comparing the devotion of the followers. The Obama chanting freaked the crap out of me. I am not kidding. it is freaky. And it worries me.

I know it is threatening to some to actually be passionate about someone when politics as usual is all you are familiar with. This is exactly what our country needs after election after election of typical candidates, running politics as usual campaigns. It seems very hard for those unwilling to look outside the box to see what is right before them. They come up with the "experience argument" which Obama has plenty of. They come up with the "lack of details" argument, which there are plenty of if you take 10 seconds to look.

I am fairly confident that Obama will have no trouble defeating Hillary in this Tues. contest and I am even more confident Obama will have an even easier time defeating McCain in Nov.

I see no problem with supprting a candidate. I do see a problem with candidate worship. With people blindly following a candidate. Any critisism in the press or blogs about Obama is met with hatred. I see a problem with people loving a candidate too much, and expecting some world changing results. It freaks me out.

Hillary supporters know her flaws, we know her issues, we know how the country was under Bill Clinton. We believe in her to be a good president. (And when you look at the polls coming out of Texas, the majority of people believe Hillary more capable in all areas, but prefer Obama and his hope).

I do not think it is safe or wise to have blind adoration for anyone.

Didn't you comment this a few minutes ago? Are you waiting and then reposting a certain spin? It seems to me that you are a Hillary supporter or someone trying to say that a group of people coming together to actually believe in something more special then Micro-trends... to battle over legislation in the center, as Hillary would do.

People who support Obama understand that your messages of misdirection, and hate are immoral. Being scared of political movements? Being scared of people believing that we can solve some common problems in America? Or belief that it doesn't always have to be 50% to 50%.

Chanting? Do Hillary supporters not chant. Perhaps if Hillary had a musical genius of the caliber of will.i.am on her side then she'd have a video also. Perhaps the intellectuals have jumped ship from her.

I have a huge case of Obama-mania, I can't wait for him to be the next president. I loved the first video & I thought it seemed very spontaneous, unique, etc. But this one was over the top, one was more than enough. They tried to create the magic again and it didn't work, sometimes you just can't recreate that. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing, & it does make Obama supporters seem a little fanatical.

I am sorry.

Am I supposed to listen to a bunch of spoiled, over-paid actors, actresses, musicians, comedians and writers who make MILLIONS, do nothing for others, and then some guy comes along, they bow down and create a video for him?

Where the hell were these people a few years back? Were they helping others then? NO. They just jumped on the convenient bandwagon.

I am tired of this nonsense. I am tired of the "johhny come lately" crowd morally stomping all over everyone who has been fighting the good fight for years. Obama, you have much to learn and understand before becoming President. Your time is not now.

... as opposed to a bunch of spoiled, over-paid politicians, lobbyists, CEO's, bankers, billionaires, hedge fund managers, corporate raiders, NAFTA-expanding senators, etc.

I'm just thankful Hilliary isn't having them sing in her videos. Lord, what a nightmare that would be. She knows they only sing in harmony when it comes to screwing the American taxpayer. Smart move, HIll.

I am not impressed with the "good fight" Hillary has been waging for years. She's not a champion for my interests, sweetheart. (I'm guessing your car is paid for and your home is in no danger of foreclosure.)

So you're tired of the "nonsense." As my momma used to say, "You better get rested, honey."
