		<description>Well , here we are , more than a year since this was first aired , and guess what ?
Unemployment is still over 9% , gas is 1.00 MORE than a year ago , housing prices have continued to drop , cost of consumer goods have risen , we now have THREE wars to fund ( Yes , Libya IS a war ), more people are living with government assistance , the job market continues to shrink ,transparency in the government has disappeared ( it was NEVER there ) , people&#039;s wages have gone down, the debt is the highest in history , cash for clunkers did more harm than good , and the stimulus plan was a joke.
So , somebody please tell me the good that has come from our present administration. Anybody ???</description>

		<description>I think that the &quot;left&quot; can call me anything they want to. They can accuse me of anything they want to. They can believe anything they want to. But after all is said and done, We will use our voice. We will vote.</description>

		<description>Donna - I&#039;m sure you are right that this video was put on by people who don&#039;t like our president but I think we all know a fair bit about what this president has done to our economy and it isn&#039;t pretty.  Yes, I agree he inherited a mess and it is double sad to me that much of it came down from a Republican watch but that doesn&#039;t excuse him from doubling down on the mess to make it, at least in terms of debt, 60% worse.  Note: that is not 60% worse than the prior administration of 8 years but 60% worse than ALL prior greedy idiots combined - and he accomplished that in 2 years.  Add to that violating our constitution in seizing US Corporations and instituting a health care plan that is clearly unconstitutional.

This president and so many of his cronies and czars are statists and socialists that many of us view as antithetical to the American experiment and future.  That is the conversation.  Does his view of of what he wants to &quot;change&quot; America into serve me and my children and grandchildren.  I don&#039;t think so - and I believe it enough to work very hard against it.

To those of you who rant against greedy &#039;Republicans&#039; who pull strings I would just like to challenge you, because I agree with you, to look carefully at your side.  I sincerely believe you cannot find any higher moral ground in your leadership.  That is why our Founders designed America and our Constitution as they did.  They recognized that men are fallible and greedy and that checks and balances were needed which is why they specifically rejected the kind of centralized governments you are promoting and from which they fled.  There is no Utopia.  Men will never lead us to perfect peace nor to any Utopia.  Government can never be perfect nor even excellent because there are men in it but we can insist that it protect our freedom and we can protect ourselves from it by keeping it on a leash.</description>

		<description>Obviously some of you just don&#039;t get it.  It doesn&#039;t matter who put on the video.  What matters is that it reflects the sentiments of a majority of Americans that our government, and particularly the leftist elements, have lost touch with us.</description>

		<description>I agree wholeheartedly with people who have the insight to wonder just exactly WHO put out this video.  I&#039;ll bet it&#039;s the people who don&#039;t like out president and don&#039;t know a thing about what he&#039;s done to change the face of our economy. Let us not forget people...President Obama did not cause any of what&#039;s happened....he inherited it. Look to the republicans abd see who cause the mess we&#039;re in today. 
Please listen this this this again and take special note that it actually says nothing at all. the patriotic music and the women&#039;s great voice make people without their own cognition think something is up but if we could just track who watched this and their thoughts I think we&#039;d find out people who can&#039;t think for themselves are forwarding this because it sounds good.  No fact based anything here is presented.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s do a little fact check on Blue Eagle&#039;s claim that &quot;it is remarkable how poorly the Republicans did in this past election.&quot;

In the U.S. Senate, Republicans recorded their biggest gains since 1994 (+6 seats).  Further, they successfully defended each and every seat that they held going into the race.  

In the House of Representatives, Republicans caputred 63 seats.  This is the greatest number of seats captured by any party in any single election since 1948 and the most for any midterm election since 1938.  

Taking it a bit more locally, Republicans netted a gain of six governorships.

Far from a poor performance.  Sounds more like sour grapes from the left.</description>

		<description>What exactly is the president accused of?  It spells it out in the text:

&quot;You have expanded government, violated our Constitution, confounded laws, seized private industry, destroyed jobs, perverted our economy, curtailed free speech, corrupted our currency, weakened our national security, and endangered our sovereignty.&quot;

One can easily find examples of each and every one of those.  You, sir, should get the facts.</description>

		<description>Blue Eagle is right, of course.  The impressive graphics and patriotic music disguise the fact that the screed itself accuses Obama of vague misdeeds without ever specifying exactly what it is that he is accused of.  It is the Koch brothers and other billionaires who back the Tea Party movement who have committed a multitude of sins against America,  I&#039;ve been searching for information on who Nos Populus Productions is, and where it&#039;s money comes from.  I&#039;m willing to bet that its the brothers or some others of their ilk.  Get a grip peo9ple -- and then get the facts!</description>
