4. I know this seems like it's from left field, but...
this is the first time I actually feared for Obama's life.

6. More like "from RIGHT field" ...
My first thought was "double the guard"!

7. Not at all
I've been worried about him for months now. The powers that be won't let this stand.

14. Yes, that would be a bit of a tactical error on his part, no?
I'm thinking about what Bill Hicks said about the movie that they showed each new president.

15. I suspect the movies and some of the popular culture are close to the truth.
I once heard that Kennedy actually thought he was President for a while, was told the truth, and did what he wanted to anyway knowing his health would not allow him to grow old. He had a Vice President who openly hated him, angered industrial interests (especially Steel Companies a real power at the time), the head of of the FBI regularly spied on him (J.Edgar had his own skeletons), he vowed to destroy the CIA taking on a variety of spooks, assassins, and organized criminals. When you think about it John Kennedy lived like there was no tomorrow.

They may not have yet had the discussion with Mr. Obama. Bill has probably told Hillary or, maybe there is a First Lady orientation, one reason you will not hear anything like this from her. On the other hand a candidate may be allowed a couple statements like this before someone has had the talk or watched the movie.


Not a conspiracy, just reality.

13. The actual title on the YouTube clip
is "Obama to Shut down America"

I think the rules here are you're sposed to use the actual title, but frankly I'm glad you didn't.

16. It's a lie. He's not getting out of Iraq.
He's stopping war, not occupation. He has no plans to get out.

He's a bullshit artist.

18. I was never an Obama (or Hillary) fan...
But I am warming up to him. He's still got work to do before getting my vote in the general election, but I wouldn't say it's an impossibility anymore.

19. K if you really are smart enough to take on the MIC
The last thing that you would do is advertise that you are going to do it.

OMG you guys are gullable.

23. BO is the guy who won't shut down Blackwater.
The only harm he'll do the MIC is cramps in their CEOs' ribs from uncontrollable laughter.
