I got emailed this video which is showing why Amricans should not elect obama and should john mccain. I'm not really a mccain supporter and have not really made my decision on who to vote for. I originally chose John Edwards, then HIllary Clinton, and not it looks like I will have to chose between Obama and McCain when I really don't want either to be President. (this always happens to me!) I wouldn't make a decision based on a video like this but it was clear to me that it was really one- sided. I want to know if anyone had proof to defend/ challenge the claims this man makes about Obama. Like were things taken out of context, and, if so, can you prove that? here is the video http:/ / www.eyeblast.tv/ Public/ Video.aspx?rsrcID=2036 one thing that concrened me was the "typical white person " remark. by the way, i don't really care that his middle name is hussein. you can't really do anything about your name. it is given to you. i am not rich and do not believe only the rich deserve health care. I am aware of the issues but I am not a Republican or Democrat. But I do think someone who has an idea of a "typical white person " might be a little bit racist, and that concerns me as well. They did have a point that if John McCain said "typical black person " it would be a big deal. okay you guys i didn't say i BELIEVE anything! i said it seemed one sided and I want to see the other side. Geeze I asked a legit question and really I am not on either side I'm just saying I'm sure there is proof out there that this is not all accurate and I want to know which parts are and aren't. I AM TRYING TO DO RESEARCH I AM ASKING FOR SOURCES. IF NONE OF YOU HAVE SOURCES OR KNOW WHERE THIS STUFF CAME FROM THEN YOU HAVE NOT RESEARCHED EITHER. I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEONE OUT THERE KNEW A GOOD SOURCE SORRY. i don't care if he was Muslim either, or went to a Muslim school...I care about his words and actions.

Can you say Republican propaganda? There will be plenty of this in the next few months as Obama and McCain slug it out. This is mean and hateful. Instead of believing this crap manufactured per FinalCut, do some real research. I recommend the New York Times Politics website for starters. You might also try reading Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope. If you want to know about Obama's father, read Dreams of My Father by him also. Look at Obama's stance on the issues. Then look at McCain's. If you believe that only the rich deserve health care, decent schools and a home to live in then McCain's your man. Obama for America!

Go to his website, and ask his staff to clear it up, I am not going to look at your video, go ask for the best answer; the horses mouth.

Well first of all the video title has Hussein in his name, so I can see the mindset before I even finish watching it, but I'm watching it now.... All right, YAY FOR FEAR MONGERING Go watch the 9-11 conspiracy movies that say our government planned 9-11, they are done in the same exact fashion and tone. Do you believe those too? That said: First fact debunked: Obama's father was probably a Muslim at some point in his life, because HIS father was a Muslim, however he was an atheist when he met Obama's mother. Go look it up you will find it. Since it's your video of lies, I'm not getting sources for you, you should research it yourself. Second fact: He lived in Indonesia, a predominately Muslim country, from the ages of 6-10. He did not obviously go there on his own, his mother didn't choose to put him into a Muslim school. But all of the schools in Indonesia had a few hours a week of religious teachings. He was not put into a MUSLIM school, he was put into a school with a predominately Muslim student body. It's not like they could snap their fingers and make the country predominately Christian or have their choice of a school without any religious practice, it just wasn't available. Go look it up as well. From REPUTABLE sources. And right now I'm not bothering with the rest of the crap in this video, it would take entirely too much time. But I urge you, and anyone else to check into facts on your own, and find reputable sources. It's not that hard. Google google google. Don't just watch some video, read some email someone forwarded to you, or some post someone copy and pasted, and let it form your beliefs. Form your beliefs from your own well researched knowledge. YOU ARE ASKING OTHERS TO DO YOUR RESEARCH FOR YOU. WHY SHOULD WE??????? If you CHOOSE TO BELIEVE LIES that are fed to you, then YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE LIES. Why should we spend OUR PRECIOUS TIME searching the internet for information FOR YOU????????????????????????????? SEARCH FOR IT YOURSELF. THE NERVE.
