My fear of how most people see the country...

Spoilers for the video follow.

In this video, Romney is portrayed as a substance-less corporate tool and Obama is portrayed as a good intentioned ankle-dragger. At the end, Lincoln comes in and critiques both. For Romney he basically dismisses him as having the wrong ideas. For Obama he says he has the right ideas, wanting to change things, but hasn't followed through.

The critique of Obama is what I fear most people want in a politician--one who will come in and save the day.

Note: This video also shows how powerful and persuasive Democratic rhetoric is.

    I really like ERB when they stay the hell away from politics.

    I refuse to even watch this one, I already know how biased it will be, and I don't intentionally seek out things that will piss me off.

    I wish they would have left Lincoln out of it. Was Lincoln sportin a grill? that's not historically accurate.

      Agreed, Lincoln was the consumate politician who started the downward spiral of corporate welfare, killing 500,000 of his own people to provide tax money to his corporate supporters. Lincoln's true history has been whitewashed by the victors for 150 years. The lincoln memorial should be destroyed. He is a perfect "hero" for the political looters of both major parties.
