Thoughts on the video?
I just got done watching it and thought it was great. It wasn't throwing around lies and bullshit, it was issue based.

1. AND documented by actual video tape from that time! There's
no way for anybody to call it LIES! It's a TERRIFIC reminder to those who've forgotten, and an EXCELLENT education for anyone who didn't know what happened!

2. Pretty good, but it should have provided further informational references at the end...

A quick overlay at the end of the video that points viewers to more Keating Scandal information would be easy to do and help to get people even more into this topic. Lots of voters are too young to have been watching the news when this took place.

3. Standard Repug replies
1) Old news
2) Taken out of context
3) But, but, but Obama's black!

5. I love documentaries but it was slow on the uptick and I'm afraid
people like my sister who've become interested in issues, recently - won't sit through the beginning to get through to the end where all the red meat is.

I hope they can cut this important issue into bite size chunks the masses can consume.

That's my only gripe. It was full of substance but in this country, that may be a problem in getting the information going. It can be complicated, especially for those who know nothing about this issue.

7. I'm assuming
that most people will sit through the beginning, since its so short, to see what the big deal is. Then, I'm pretty sure the MSM media will be giving the ending plenty of air time.

8. It's 13 minutes long. That is long for the average person. Look
how long they've taken to come around and it's taken catastrophic events for them to open their eyes. You give the population way too much credit.

9. Finally got it, thought it was great.
maybe Obama will run this on the Obama channel, on Dish Network. I'll be checking in to see if he does.

10. No smears.. No exagerations.. JUST FACTS. "McCain Doesn't Learn"
They don't try to make more out of it then it was.. but they do point out the irony about the fact taht McCain was for deregulation.. got his ass handed to him by that.. and learned nothing from it.

Obama is trying to make THAT the message.. not that he fucked up.. but that he fucked up, and didn't learn anything from it. That's what makes him a bad choice to be commander in cheif.
