Baracky: Almost Reason Enough to Vote for Obama
I like to think of myself as a pretty thoughtful person, but I must admit that I am susceptible to works of genius like the following.
Wow. The movielet is full of fascinating cultural reversals. Or rather, there is one fascinating reversal: Clinton is an overpowering black man and Obama is a scrappy, tenacious working-class Italian. Who knew? Each moment is pitch perfect. This will likely be the height of the YouTube campaign. I will remember this video forever. Now I must add Rocky to my Netflix queue.
Yeah, this is pretty phenomenal.

after clingate (not in the vid), barack will not win Penn. but he is the frontrunner in the general election, and will get the nomination.

Uh…nice film, but I’m thinking whoever made it forgets how Rocky ended. Split decision by the superde—I mean, judges. The reigning heavyweight champ, not the scrappy contender, won.

Rocky lost.

Rocky(Obama) lost by split decision in Rocky 1 (Super Tuesday), but he overwhelmingly won in Rocky 2 (Nomination), which clips from are in this video.

Actually, Obama rather reminds me of Ivan Drago: much-hyped and certainly quite strong in some respects, but also inexperienced in big fights and rather clumsy. Don’t know about the steroids thing, though.

It is the Democratic party and Democrats in general that talk of the value of Democracy as the most important character of our country, even the name of their party has contains the word; yet it is the same party the uses politics and legal action to stop Democracy as often as possible, and even more evident of their lack of support of Democracy is the way the DNC runs its own primary system. Talk about Ironic. Too bad everything they support through policy and action defies the theme of hard work and triumph portrayed by the Rocky movies.

They may regret that closing epigram, now that Obama’s character is a topic.
As for YouTube political videos, I like this one.
