2. Take this to a teabag rally, play it in a booth all day long.

Maybe the mouth breathers can pay attention to a Tee-Vee.

3. Nope, wouldn't work. The video is about 3 times too long for their attention span.

4. K & R How true this is.
Teabaggers can't handle the truth though.
Neither can Clinton supporters when I tell them that Clinton was the best Republican president we ever had!

8. I had Clinton's number when he signed onto NAFTA.
He mucked up royally on so issues. Funny that the GOP worked so hard to get rid of him.

12. I supported Clinton and gave him the benefit of the doubt.
I am not making that mistake with Obama because I see that he is cut out of the same cloth as the Clintons. They can campaign for themselves. I am going to find Democrats within the party like Alan Grayson that I can support.

7. Excellent video. Great piece of history that everyone should
have the right to see how this has affected our lives. It is the undeniable truth. Unless this push to 'take government off our backs' continues we will be in the most devistating depression the world has ever witnessed. Try to get this video to everyone that needs a taste of the history of our downfall.

10. Great Video.
I like to tell conservanazis that the government is probably the only thing that will keep them alive when the poor have a revolution in this country. Then, the government will change. The poor and working class OUTNUMBER the conservanazis and money can't buy them everthing.

11. Excellent. But shows too much sympathy for Obama who has made
no effort to fight against this trend. Obama has done nothing to educate the American people about what needs to be done.

He talks about one policy initiative and then the next, but he never, never inspires Americans to dare to take a progressive direction. He has never explained to the American people what is explained so well in this video.

And you know what I think? I don't think he wants to explain this message to the American people. Why? I think he doesn't really believe in this message himself. He does not agree with the message of this video. If he did, he would not have appointed Rahm Emmanuel or Geithner or Summers or Bernanke or Eric Holder to the positions they now hold.

I see no hope until we get a president who understands this video and is willing to give the American people this message and to present a coherent economic and social concept to us. Obama is not that president.

Finding the right middle ground between too much government control and too little is a tough thing to do, but the only way we can get back our economic equilibrium is to find the middle ground.

Unfortunately, our so-called "centrists" are not centrists at all, they are right-wingers posing as centrists.

15. Best one I've seen because it really doesn't take sides
and you really can't come at it for taking sides. Which is partially why I didn't trust Hillary when she was running. That and I didn't want a uh... 1988-2012 control by just two families. Take 2 years of regulations that really haven't kicked in yet or just starting to. Kinda like the stupid tea party protests that took PLACE APRIL 15 2009!!!! HELLO... THOSE ARE BUSH'S TAX POLICIES YOUR PROTESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I figure we'll hit depression in 2011 maybe beginning of 2012 and then thump, these dumb americans (hey jay leno loves pointing them out) jay walking? will think maybe electing extreme right wing nuts wasn't such a good idea and we'll end up with a landslide in 2012 and things might really get done. get rid of the Conservadems too. Love the music. I'm a trance sort of guy. Blame Tangerine Dream (from GERMANY) with Firestarter and now on dvd Street Hawk. Really want to own that. had to rent it. George Cloony saying Radical anyone?? Escapism during reagan's days. oh those were the days. If only the folks who create blu rays would actually release a set in standard def and stick way too many episodes on a few discs instead of high def. In television you can only carry that so far.
