    Obama or not, It is what it always is, a political show designed to steer people's emotions. I find it interesting how advertising industry people who work on propaganda daily can be moved by this kind of stuff. It is what it is - words, meant to be uplifting and set ratings high.
    If people feel better after it, it's good. It's good when spirits are cheerful, isn't it.

    My Obama pronouncing every word so even immigrants (and me) could understand comment was a technical one - the guy is a pro, actually the world's top pro. He needs to speak this way. He also makes this rap a way to sound pompously dignified - two goals achieved in one rap. Good for him.

    His whole campaign rewrote propag err.. marketing textbooks no matter how it goes from here. I find it fascinating too.

    • I'd vote Ron Paul. He advocated freedom, Obama said again today freedom was a danger.rafalski
    • (sigh!) As in freedom is dangerous to those who wish to oppress... to deny it (freedom).ItTango

    • When government backs banks it's a huge interference as it removes a healthy risk and causes careless behaviors.rafalski
    • This was the case with Freddie and Fannie, an economically absurd situation where ppl got houses despite not being able..rafalski
    • ..to afford them.rafalski
    • Government caused the crisis by messing with the self regulating market. Well see more of that I'm afraid.rafalski
