blankfistsays...I'm surprised you have as many votes as you do. This place will pat you on the back when you're damning the Republicans, but turn on you in a second once you speak a single ill word of their beloved "leader".
Let's boost the rank on this one... *quality
Though, I'm not a big fan of chicken little Alex Jones. His voice alone grates my nerves.
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by blankfist.
EndAllsays...Same here.. he's much too melodramatic. But he was simply stating the facts, just like Icke was. Reptilian overlords aside, there was valid information being presented there. Thanks for the quality!
enochsays...speak it brother blankfist!
speak well and true i say,for we have elected a used car salesman.who with his honeyed words have blinded us to the truth.
he has done nothing but perpetuate the very things he rallied to change.
we have all been deceived........again.
Rottysays...There will be no votes for this video here. All the Lefties are sitting in a corner, rocking back and forth, fingers in ears yelling "I can't hear you...I can't hear you...".
They refuse to beleive they've been duped by a different colored "World Order" suit (that was the plan!). I understand, failure is not something that is welcomed. However, it is a fact.
My God, even Racheal Madcow? She must have missed her weekend visit to Lake LickaSnatchee!
Obammy has my vote as the Antichrist...we'll see...

Wow, your cadence is reminiscent of a one Choggie Kendall.
NordlichReitersays...I voted independent.
NordlichReitersays...*promote
siftbotsays...Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Friday, August 28th, 2009 1:06pm PDT - promote requested by NordlichReiter.
osama1234says...THIS is legitimate criticism, and this is what the purpose of the opposition party and the media is supposed to be, not bullshit about where he's born or if he's a socialist or the usual glen beck garbage.
I'm a 'liberal', and i approve this video and also upvoted it.
peggedbeasays...dude, i think this motherfucker is as shady and corrupt as the next motherfucker
but i also think this alex jones conspiracy shit is nearly as dangerous as glenn beck conspiracy shit.
and who are the "lefties" that cant accept obama is a lying political sack you keep speaking of?
griefer_queafersays...Yes. There is some valuable information in here...
FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!
Rottysays...At least Triumph would have called bullshit on this fraud and pissed on his face.
oscarillosays...I really dont know were to start, but first thing first
Im no left or right (I like to masturbate with either hand)
1 - Do you have a video on all the lies from Bush?, or you just going to say that he was a better choice?
2 - C'mon it only has been 8 friking months or in you little minds you think he was going to have a magic wand to fix all problems?
3 - Do you know of any politician that has not tell you any lie to get elected?
"Read my lips, no new taxes"
"Education reforms to be first legislation sent to Congress."
etc. etc.
Dont you think is stupid just to be whining and not doing anything?
ps
and by anything I mean doing something for you comunity and not just "posting videos or comments"
Diogenessays...despite my feelings about alex jones' wingnut positions on the trilateral commission, bilderberg, and the cfr...
i'm upvoting because the essential message the vid infers is, as 'the who' so succinctly put it, 'meet the new boss, same as the old boss'
here are some legitimate gripes i have with obama and habeus corpus:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Guantanamo-Bagram-Is-there-much-difference
http://www.videosift.com/video/BBC-Investigation-of-Abuse-At-Bagram-Air-Base
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/04/11/bagram/
imho, the difference between bush and obama is black and white, literally... although obama can pronounce 'nuclear' ... i believe that his message of change wasn't much more than to convince the american people and the world that he was some sort of harry potter, who could fix all that was wrong simply with a wave of his big black wand
in reality, and from primarily an international perspective, he's the usa's global apology card, primarily to a western europe both worried and not-a-little-angry with america because 1. it gave them 8 years of gw bush, 2. was the sole remaining superpower in the vacuum left by the ussr's collapse, and was now viewed not as the cold war's 'great balancer' but as a post-cold war threat to both global security and international parity, and 3. through the burgeoning of instant mass communication afforded by the internet, the uneducated and largely impolite rabble of europe and the us were better able to ruffle each other's feathers, both innocently and maliciously
this two-way estrangement between the decades-long, erstwhile allies needed and continues to need to be smoothed over, and what better way than to present the world--at least on the surface--a polar opposite to bush and his ilk... a well-spoken, apparently sincere man of intelligence whose humble platitudes and defacto apologies at least try to serve as a soothing balm to the inflamed passions, old rivalries, petty grievances, and genuine concerns that had long lain dormant during the cold war, but were coaxed back to their previous vigor with the ill breath of the three enumerated items in the previous paragraph, which reput would be: 1. american arrogance, 2. a nascent eu's competitiveness and envy, and 3. the ignorance and polemics of the internet's unwashed masses
so... who 'won't get fooled again?'
messengersays...I've never heard of Bilderberg, Trilateral, and the CFR. Does it really mean anything that they belong to these groups, or is it just the Rainbow Six music in the background that makes it sound threatening?
thinker247says...I had no idea a politician would be corrupt and go against his campaign promises once elected. Who thought the first black president would be so bold? I certainly didn't, because he's black and not George W. Bush. I thought he would represent change in American politics, which obviously welcomes it.
The status quo always wants to be toppled, right? The powerful want to lose their power in order to propel peace throughout the world, right? Give your money to the poor and you will be rewarded with a no-bid contract in Iraq, right?
Amateurs.
enochsays...first.
i want to have diogenes babies.that comment got me fucking sweaty.right on you sexy motherfucker!
two.
messenger shall be forgiven for failure to not know about the bilderberg group,but shall be penalized for not know either the trilateral commission nor the CFR/CPR.the propaganda starts HERE my friend! messenger shall be awarded bonus points for recognizing manipulative "creepy" music..because it was creepy,and now i am frightened.
thirdly.
thinker247 while stating the blatantly obvious shall be awarded 100,000,000 points.to be paid out in one point increments everyday until such time as his demise and or he asks me to stop.
for those of you who did not understand thinker247's comment,i shall paraphrase.
"we are fucked"

Don't be such a Whiner McWhineyston. Obviously the people here will vote for things like this. Dur.
I'm not going to, though, because of the ridiculous couching, music, and Alex Jones.
NetRunnersays...I love all the people saying "oooh, those brainwashed liberals won't be able to accept this".
Almost 50% of this clip was Rachel Maddow, who you may be surprised to find out is a favorite of liberals. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a liberal that doesn't share Rachel's concerns about Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
Only the most starry-eyed person would have expected Obama to be able to deliver on his "no lobbyists" promise. Personally, I expected it to last a bit past the very first round of people he hired during the transition. That said, I'm less worried about lobbyists working for him per se, as I am about their ability to influence policy. We're a bit early yet to really grade Obama's executive branch on that, but certainly Congress is no less swayed by lobbyists than it used to be.
As for the bit about CFR, meh. It takes a valid concern about too much policy inertia from one administration to the next, and then utterly discredits itself by trying to say it's some shadowy secret society pulling the strings that's to blame.
But hey, at least it's a step in the right direction. Most of what's in here is true, and also things I see as strikes against Obama. Much better than the usual Obama = Hitler tripe.
blankfistsays...*fear the netrunner planet.
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Fear) - requested by blankfist.
JiggaJonsonsays...Dare I say we went into the conservative conspiracy realm towards the end of the video, but that wont stop me from upvoting. Very good info overall
MrFisksays...The honeymoon is almost over.
mizilasays...Like Diogenes said, at least he can pronounce "nuclear."
Really, like we had any fuckin choice? Do you think McCain would be doing any better? Puppets, all of them. I guess we could've voted for Ron Paul...
That's it, I'm movin to Australia.
RedSkysays...I'm sorry, anything that uses annoyingly rousing music in the background gets put in the propaganda pile.
radxsays...>> ^RedSky:

I wouldn't quite stuff it into the propaganda pile straight away, but it sure is annoying and irritating. Give me a version without the background music or better yet, a transcript or a simple article. Playing the emotion card when you try to present facts only weakens your case.
honkeytonk73says...Sorry to reveal the truth to you guys/gals... but the president (forget about the whole political party sham) is a figurehead. Pretty much an 'icon' figurehead for the US government. The 'board of directors', which is NOT elected, calls the real shots behind the scenes. Now you know why core policies remain the same across presidents.
You can put lipstick on a pig.. but it is still a pig. Call a pig a flower by name, but it is still a pig.
Democracy? Representative government? When did you last see the will of the majority implemented in any serious and constructive form? Policies -always- benefit corporations first and foremost. They just toss in a carrot for our benefit here and there to shut up the riffraff populace.
jakesays...The CFR (Council on Foriegn Relations) is a think tank whos members comprise basically every prominent US politician, central banker and mega corp executives. They have a publication called Foreign Affairs that propagates the kind of thinking they're developing.
Trilateral Commission is much the same with international members spanning different countries in Europe and Asia.
Bilderberg group is secretive to the point of armed guards, people claiming not to have been there/know about it when it is provable that they do, etc. It seems to have many of the same members, however it is more selective than CFR/Trilateral, so probably at the top of the power structure (if there is one).
Combining these three groups, you've got perhaps the most powerful 500 people meeting in secret which are all then connected to the CFR and Trilateral commission. Both are extremely influential groups in the Foreign Policy arena, with the ability to effectively create cases for things like trade agreements that undermine national sovereignty, world food regulation by the WTO, and potentially their goal, a global central world government ruled by them, the most powerful people.. the elite.
As far as I can see it, the CFR in particular is the mouthpiece for this ideology and it happens that Obama's actions seem to fit in quite nicely with it.
Throbbinsays...So sad.
If you're in need of a cheer-up, check this out.
NordlichReitersays...How stupid this all is.
America keeps voting in the same lies packaged in a new box.
Pity the framers of our Great Nation turned into a whore for all the world to see.

who are you addressing in the last line of your comment?
and as far as I'm concerned, this is barely conspiracy theory - all Alex Jones is doing is reading off a list. same with Icke, yes you may say they are batshit insane - but when it comes to this it is just presenting information. I could get you the same list in text, or from another source. Chomsky?

1 - This happens a lot. Present negative facts on Obama and you get "well at least he's not Bush" "but what about Bush" etc. etc. The fact that the previous president was corrupt does nothing to excuse the fact that the current one is too. It's obvious Obama has no intention of prosecuting Bush & Co. for war crimes, it's all about "looking forward" I don't think Bush was the better choice at all. Ron Paul was a good choice.
2 - Certainly not, I just expected he might live up to his campaign promises. Withdrawal from Iraq, etc.
3 - A few. There's a difference between the President and "any politician" however.
I'm not whining. There's nothing wrong with posting a video.
You have no clue as to what I do or don't do for my community.

I would urge you to look further into these organizations and do a bit of your own research.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_on_Foreign_Relations
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateral_Commission

A lot of the same players involved in each group, working towards more-or-less the same ends.
BoneyDsays...This video makes some very good points, pointing out Obama's incredible hypocrisy...
But ROFL! Did they just use David Icke for reference material in there? That's seriously pathetic.

Icke's inclusion is irrelevant. I'd bet that clip was only used because there weren't many others listing off that information, on video at least. He didn't make that stuff up. It has little to do with his usual baloney.
thinker247says...I just can't wait until he gets a blowjob from Monica Lewinsky under his desk in the Oval Office so everybody will stop talking about his policies.

therealblankmansays...Jesus, I want my upvote back. Started off well enough with, you know, facts and stuff and then took that turn up ahead into the Twilight Zone. David Icke mixed with Faux News? Seriously?
TheFreaksays...I need to hire a plumber to fix my heating boiler before winter. My boiler is very old and in terrible condition so it has to be fixed every fall. All the thoughtful and intelligent comments about this video have inspired me to try a new tactic in getting the issue resolved.
I'm going to start by getting a detailed list from the plumber of EVERYTHING that needs to be done to fix the boiler once and for all and I'm going to set my expectations very high that I'm never going to have to pay to repair that thing again. As he's working, I'm going to stand behind him and question everything he does. If he appears to slow down his work or swap tools I will immediately lose confidence in him. If he should suggest paying to replace the boiler, which I know I should have done years ago, I will get very angry and accuse him of trying to destroy my children's future by stealing my money.
I will constantly check his work against the initial list of repairs he intended to do. If for any reason the work he does changes based on what he finds after he starts I will call him a liar and accuse him of being in league with all the other plumbers I've hired in the past. I'm fairly certain most of the past plumbers I've hired weren't actually concerned with fixing that boiler. Who can blame them really, it's a hopeless job, so I'm sure they just ran up the bill a little, tweaked a couple things and left.
My wife does NOT support the idea of me trying to repair this boiler every year. I think it will actually help if she's with me while I supervise the work so that her criticism of what I'm doing can encourage my growing frustration over the plumber's inability to be finished with his work 30 minutes after he shows up. You know, even though I expected it to take all day.
Oh, yeah, I hope this plumber is not in the Local Plumber's Union (the dreaded 'LPU'). Someone once told me the LPU is a powerful organization with a secret plot to keep my boiler from working.

robdotsays...my problem with people who attack obama wether they are right or wrong is..where were they for the last 8 years as bush completely fucked everything up that he came in contact with. look at the country the republicans were given by clinton then look at what they left obama. ill tell ya where they were, they were cheerleading,thats where.
hes black, thats the bald face truth of it, hes black and they cant stand it.

Word brudda
ReverendTedsays...Upvote for the valid criticism, though I thought twice because you have to peel away several layers of hyperbole and swelling patriotic music to get to it.
brainsays...I agree with the basic message of this video, that change will not happen as long as we keep electing democrats and republicans.
However, Alex Jones is an insane nut that should be ignored. He's worse than Glenn Beck. He actually believes that the government is worshiping horned pagan gods and working directly with Satan. He thinks 911 is an inside job. He even thinks the Virginia Tech shootings were a government black-ops mind control experiment.
mizilasays...This place will pat you on the back when you're damning the Republicans, but turn on you in a second once you speak a single ill word of their beloved "leader".
There will be no votes for this video here. All the Lefties are sitting in a corner, rocking back and forth, fingers in ears yelling "I can't hear you...I can't hear you...".
Oops... I guess this isn't the democratic version of Faux News or anything. Turns out liberals are pro-truth for the most part, not just blindly following their chosen party.
Smugglarnsays...*bullshit
MaxWildersays...The only reason I voted for Obama is because I knew he wouldn't be as bad as the pasty old white guy. They're both having their strings pulled by the same people, but at least Obama is trying to resist those strings a little bit. McCain would just go charging down the same path as Bush without a second thought.
I'll tell you exactly what we need to get change in this country:
1. Multiple stage elections. The two party system is just two sides of the same coin. And yes, that coin is purchased with money. Multiple stage elections would give people the chance to vote for who they really want without fear that they are throwing their vote away.
2. Public election financing. Every politician must have the exact same amount of money to spend on their campaign, and they must be able to enter office without being beholden to anybody.
3. Independent media. As far as I'm concerned, the corporate oligarchy has destroyed the free press in this country. The internet is starting to give voice to journalists who dare to speak against corporate interests, but the problem would be solved completely if it was illegal for one person or corporation to own more than one news outlet.
My main point is that money runs our current system of government, and that must change if we ever want to see a government that actually works for the people.
TangledThornssays...The suckers who voted for Obama... Seriously, they voted for an empty suit.
EndAllsays...--
spoco2says...Ditto with a complete lack of being able to upvote ANYTHING that's trying to get any sort of serious message across with that bullshit music in the background.
Instant turn off.
Only watched a minute or so.
bcglorfsays...For everyone crying about videos like this not getting votes from the 'left'. I remember the exact same cries when Bush was in power about them not getting votes from the 'right'. The problem isn't just blindness from the left or the right. The entire NWO and military industrial complex conspiracy is just as blind. I'm sorry to be the first to tell you, but our world is unfortunately just much more complicated than all of the above combined.
Videos editing together carefully selected clips to try and simplify global geo-politics into something as simple as military industry, or an NWO run by an elite few don't get votes because thankfully most people just don't buy it. People on both the left and the right don't buy it. People who've studied things in greater depth and breadth see right through it, leaving not very many people left.
GoodAttorneysays...Good editing.
Lolthiensays...Okay, I've been a supporter of Obama since he first entered the race... but I cannot help but agree with these criticisms, Obama is not NEARLY as liberal as we would like him to be.
Also, if the owner of this video wants to be taken more seriously, ... honestly, take out the Trilateral Commission and CFR bullshit .. those are ridiculous conspiracy theories and take away from your credibility dramatically.
Winstonfield_Pennypackersays...Obama is not NEARLY as liberal as we would like him to be.
Heh - I always get a good chuckle when I hear this. Seriously, Obama is the most liberal kook to ever hold the Presidency... And he isn't NEARLY 'liberal' enough for the kook neolib fringe.
Obama really is in a catch-22 when he listens to the kook neolib fringe. They are his core. The ACORN guys... The DailyKOS freaks... The AFL/CIO goons... The left-wing freak shows are his base. And to keep his base happy, he has to do stuff that is WAAAAAAAY out there to placate them. I mean WAAAAAAAAY out there. If he doesn't do these total whack-job, Dr. Insane-O, kook-fringe things then (as this vid demonstrates) his core of kook fringe flunkies start screaming bloody murder.
But Obama ran as a supposed 'centrist' who would govern from the center. He can't run his administration on a far-left kook fringe neolib ideologue platform. If he does, then he alienates every single independant voter, moderate, or blue-dog democrat who voted for him.
What Obama has actually DONE with his presidency so far is unequivocally left-wing.He has not governed as a moderate. He isn't even slightly conservative. He's a neolib kook and his policiies are all in that philosophy. Because he is such a left wing radical, he's alienating the bulk of his supporters. Moderates & Independants drank the Kool-aid in the election. They really thought he was a moderate. They're alarmed that he is such a slavish left-wing kook, and they hate what he's doing. His numbers reflect the fact that Obama's neolib platform is unwanted and unpopular with normal, everyday citizens.
But they aren't left wing ENOUGH for the neolib kooks - so he's losing support among even THEM. He's 10 points away from being George W. Bush. Almost feel a little sorry for him.
