One can dream he battles the tea party wave.

1. This is actually worse than the UFO thread.

BRB I have to go apologize to them.

[CmonMan]

2. Lighten up dude!

It's good cgi. Good message. jeeze......

[AtheistCrusader]

5. Obama getting hit by a train and waving a sword around?

Clearly I missed the point.

[CmonMan]

7. Clever use of metaphors.

Train = Right wing with appeasement.

Sword = Fighting for the issues that got him there.

10. Good cgi? Maybe 10 years ago, n/t

[ProudProgressiveNow]

11. The Republicans are taking us back at least that far!

LOL!

[dbmk]

13. :)

Now, I wasn't belittling the intention/idea. Execution got a little in the way of the message perhaps. :)

12. Entitled to your dubious opinion. nt

[dbmk]

16. It is of course an opinion - in this case I would question the dubious part.

10 years ago Gladiator won for best special effects. Pretty sure I did not see cgi at the level of the clip in the OP in that movie.

In a world where it can be compared to stuff like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYK_Gqyf48Y - 6+ years old trailer for World of Warcraft.

I don't think its an extremely subjective opinion to call the stuff in the OP far from "good". Especially not by todays standards.

Don't even think the creator would claim that.

[CmonMan]

18. My sincere apology

about the dubious part. You are right about the quality of those posted vids.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

4. It's a cartoon. n/t

[Herkamerk]

3. Nice. NT

[lib_wit_it]

6. Lulz--I like it!

8. BTW, excellent animation. nt

[Clydetwitch]

15. Ditto! N/T

9. K&R

14. Laugh Out Loud!

I wouldn't have had the nerve to post this. I'm not sure this is an asset to the progressive cause. I will only imagine the text comments on the YouTube page.

17. But Obama's a scholar/philosopher, not a warrior (apparently)

I see Obama more as a Frodo who has the ring of power but doesn't know what to do with it. He's rejected Gandolph and the warriors at his disposal, like Howard Dean or Kucinich. He's kinda going rudderless, trying to dance around the evil overlords.

[CmonMan]

19. Well illustrated analogy!

Lets hope he gets some warrior spirit.

[ArizonaLiberal]

20. lol!!!! N/T
