Obama wouldn't let us get hurt. If we are attacked we will be backed any where in the world. If we go around policing we will wear out our UN welcome.

its all about money.
obama & biden are just continuations of the war loving status quo paid for by the military industrial complex.
unbelievable cost plus contracts for private companies that make bullets, tanks, guns, bombs, warplanes, prosthetic limbs, ready-to-eat meals, anti-depression & anti-psychotic pills for victims of post traumatic stress disorder, etc.
these multi-billion dollar corporations sponsor "think tanks" that encourage a self-perpetuating wars & contribute heavily [& stealthily] to the campaigns of whichever party they feel has the greatest chance of keeping their pockets fat, the public misinformed, & the streets red with the blood of misguided soldiers & innocent civilians.fight back

Unfortunately, this is the kind of discerning stuff that Americans do not get (of course wall mart does not have it) therefore is subject to ridicule and misunderstanding. I hope we can see more of this, i will make sure it gets aggregate it. Great truth.

Great clip.
Finally Voices of Reason. Wouldn't it be a better world if these Voices of Reason were the norm; welcome on news programs we pay for every day? Wouldn't it make a difference in public opinion if ordinary Americans had exposure to these Voices of Reason? You betcha!
Mainstream media cant let these Voices of Reason be heard nationally. They are part of the problem. Mainstream media has proven over and over, they no longer work for ordinary Americans, they have been hi-jacked by Corporate America. Corporations, which make money from war and confusion now own mainstream media, lock stock and barrel.
Americans Military Industrial Complex has made Billions of dollars from the policies of the Bush administration. Pharmaceutics Companies have made billions of dollars of profit from stress related medications. Stress in America is profitable for pharmaceutics companies. More stress, more profit.
SAD! SAD! SAD! Its time for Change! I think Change in America has to start with Cable News. We pay for Cable News! Are you getting your monies worth? Ratings matter! Americans have to start holding cable news accountable! People with voices must start holding the (talking heads) accountable! Embarrass them when they spin distorted facts and facts as equal. Its time to stop moving along before the truth is evident! Anytime someone moves along leaving distorted facts and real facts as equal, they are guilty of spinning, or at least co-conspirators to the problem. Its time people with voices to stand up and counter the spin with facts! Shame goes a long way! Shame journalists who distort instead of report. They know what they are doing. Force them to admit, they knew!
I hope people email this to cable news channels. How can they say they didn’t know if we send it to them? They will be guilty of distorting that fact! They got it! They knew! They cant deny it, if we send it!

Great clip.
There needs to be no doubt that McCain will be a continuation of the neoconservatives' effort to jam democracy down the throat of as many countries as possible. Like these speakers, when I see a neocon go, I know.
Similarly, it need to be highlighted that Obama and Biden represent a voice of reason. Anyone can push a damn button while singing "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran," but it takes sound leaders to exercise restraint, and exhaust all other options.
I'll be watching a lot more of "The Real News."
