Barack Obama DVD

[chrishorton]

I have an older brother in the military, and I was really touched by the way Obama mentioned our soldiers overseas in his inauguration speech today. He said, “As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves.” I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been trying to learn more about Obama’s personal life and found the most informative DVD on the market. It’s called Barack Obama: The Man and His Journey (VE), and it explores the rigors of his life, the campaign, and the culmination of it all—the final, powerful election speech. It officially came out today, and I really do recommend it for those who want a well rounded look at this most historic election.

I'm having a really hard time warming up to a guy that has made more promises than Superman could keep...
Needless to say I voted for that other guy... I do have high hopes for Barack, but I have to be realistic here...
After all he is not just promising a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage...
Barack's philosophy seems to be bailouts for everybody that wants one... And then loan guarantees,
direct government loans and public aid for every individual, family and small business in America
from the top to bottom... What I didn't hear him address in his election speech was were the hell
all those trillions of dollars were coming from... Chris I will try and watch this "Man and His Journey" DVD
you mentioned in hopes that it will give me a more promising outlook on our future...
But I really don't think Barack has thought through the implications of his promises...
I hate to bust anyones bubble, but I think Obama has just said what the people
want to hear with no hope of delivery...

you see cc i disagree

i think that obama can bring change to america
george bush was an ok president but he sent alot of troops to pakistan or where ever it was
basicaly he was a bit of a war monger

obama has promised to remoive several hundred american troops but mabye he'll haul em all out and let the country deal with it itself

[chrishorton]

I believe change will come with Obama but it wont happend over night. We will have to work together as a nation to get where we need to be.

Public relation speeches have always been tailored and sugarcoated to what people want to hear like assurances of progress, growth, peace and stability. This is no news, everybody knows about it, and still they go "Awwwww!" did you hear that albert. People base their votes on a guy because he promises a few items that will be the only interest in todays egoistical individuals. Speeches have grown less and less meaningful and to the point, and much more. About roads actually, and you know, stuff that people will understand... And since politics apparently bore most people to death, and the masses are clueless and repeats what they read in the newspaper. So to keep their interest up enough so that they will actually bother to vote on a party, some guy have to be an entertainer and have that PR personality... Just the guy you want running a country isn't it ? pinching you cheek verbally and roughing up your hair.

One of the major reasons that the west has become but a mere shadow of it's former self, is because people have been blinded completely by superficialities and shallowness in extremes. People have handed over the responsibilites of political thought to the one person that has provided the sweetest sugarcoating to go along with their little predictable rants. Because less and less voters seem to be less and less aware of the mere basics in political rhetorics, and so they fail to see around it. And this have made people continue to believe and stay in belief on mere empty promises with nothing to show for it. People are even talked into apparent bad choices, which shows clearly when nobody objects or raises questions.

The ability of forseeing the obvious consequences that was the mark of the previous voters in the past, are now 180 degrees around. Now, even if you tell people what will happen, they would still stand there with their little flags being sucked into the whole festival fever that has become the modern elections.

And let me pass out a little warning here, when choosing a leader. A sign that says bad days coming, is when people cheer and clap their hands in religious joy before said person has even entered office. It often speaks volumes of the people who voted, and under what circumstances the whole thing took place when you watch the results. The day i see a leader being chosen by a calm and collected crowd who doesnt fly up from their chairs as soon as something nice has been said about the nation, but instead take the whole thing effing seriously, instead as it is these days, by handling the matter as if they attended a tivoli. It might just be the day i consider having a small tingle of hope for a positive change, might also be one of the few times i would actually pay attention during their speeches.

Yes im cynical, yes i have degree of negativity with a slight pinch of pessimism, but im not angry, it's dissapointment. Well merited by the failure that is our governments, and the zombie herd of voters who doesnt even care anymore about being fooled as it's done so openly and so clearly, that it would more seem like people just vote for the hell of it. In other words, willing stupidity and ignorance.

His speech was good but unfortunately words alone aren't going to change the nation, action will. As far as those documentaries go, I wouldn't take either too seriously regardless of whether they're promoting/defaming him.
