I’m a little late to this video, which has been making the rounds and the news. The creators say the first goal of their parody “was first to be funny and reach people” but “funny” isn’t any of the words I’d used in connection with the video.
“Pity”, comes to mind.
The Obama they “used to know,” as the lamentation goes, never existed.
And unfortunately, this Youtube pity-party is still more of the navel-gazing, emotion-driven, public tantrum by The Youths who still won’t admit it was their own lack of reasoning and intellect that brought them to this point.
Not that my generation, or even my parents’ generation is blameless. We are the ones that have allowed the Left to dominate media, entertainment, academia and education then delivered up our young to be deliberately crippled by a dogma that is hostile to the very principles we claim to embrace.
The 2008 Obama was a man in a mirrored suit. If he is disappointing now, it’s because what you saw was your own creation.
“you will go everywhere, and you will find out what the world is–an assemblage of fools and knaves.”
“You fucked up. You trusted me!”
Will I see you in November
Or lose you to that Mormon guy?
Castigate them all you like for what you call their self-pity and blindness, but at least credit them for helping make it acceptable to mock the Chocolate Messiah. Four years ago, the only YouTube videos you’d see were Obama Girl and the People’s Glorious Revolutionary Youth Brigade (aka a bunch of third graders being taught to bark like trained seals instead of being taught, I dunno, arithmetic).
I consider it a small victory worth celebrating; I’m not going to kick these people because they haven’t fully come around yet.
Smells like teen angst …
Particularly unappealing in grown adults.
Two people painted to match a propaganda poster are disappointed that the actions of a president didn’t match the propaganda?
Color me unsurprised (and not pitying people too stupid to recognize what they were being sold).
The real question is what do they do now that they know they bought propaganda previously?

This ad was built for some of those who dimly perceive they were had. It’s Ok to admit you were stupid, is the gist.
That’s a good one, sdferr. I guess conservatives really can be liberals mugged by reality.

They are even becoming part of the propaganda. He’s disappointed them, when what they should be disappointed in is the bullshit ideology they ascribe to.
It’s not as if they reject what he sold him. They want that back. so they’re primed for the next fool with a good marketing guy.
Exactly, Car in.
Without clicking through, I’m betting it’s one I’ve seen on TV here in metro Atlanta once. I liked that one a lot.
And my takeaway was, “It’s okay to do something stupid. Once.”
I think it’s funny as hell.
My mother hung me on a hook once. Once.
Slart, I had the exact same reaction and read it hearing Joe Piscopo’s voice.
