Videos: President Obama’s Last Minute Call to Get Out the Vote on Nov. 2

I’m still a fan and realize he’s done the best he can with the horrible hand he was dealt by his predecessor, but that was hardly inspiring stuff in the video above as compared to the soaring rhetoric and vision he laid out during his historic ’08 campaign. Democrats are really bent over a chair for these midterms by comparison: is it gonna hurt much?

Click the jump for another video of President Obama at a rally in his hometown in Chicago saying : “I need you to keep on fighting.” (how should I take the opening shot showing a bunch of Black dudes walking away from the stage at the beginning of the clip??)

So remember kids, vote tomorrow or prepare to face a President Palin future! (more…)

AP Video: Tests Warned of Troubles Before the Gulf Blowout at BP’s Deepwater Horizon

AP on Oct. 28:

“Tests performed before the deadly blowout of BP’s oil well should have raised doubts about cement used to seal the well, but the company and its cementing contractor used it anyway, investigators with the president’s oil spill commission said.”

Halliburton again??! F-ck ’em!

Video: Moveon.org’s CNNBC says Vote Tuesday or Prepare for a President Palin Future!

I posted this to Facebook with the message, “Technically creative and humorous but rhetorically way over top (or is it??!)” One of my friends responded, “Yes, rhetorically over the top, in the spirit of the times” to which I responded, “Also in the spirit of these times, the Right will probably attack this clip as harboring closet ‘sympathies’ for the insurgent position in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq instead of as the homage to the Terminator films it really is!” Life in 2010.
