Yes We Can!

I'm sure many of you have seen this video with Barack Obama and celebrities singing yes we can.



I hate this video. I won't thouroughly bore you with all the reasons why I hate this video. Mostly it's just because it's mostly lies. I'd like to borrow something said by a user on YouTube:

"It takes more than a pretty video and a bunch of celebrities singing to make a great president. It takes a person who understands where the true greatness of America lies. Long before anyone ever heard of Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan challenged Americans to hope, to dream, to believe....In themselves. He brought change. He told us "yes we can". Except he also told us we didn't need government to do it. He inspired us with his words and his actions. He showed us that our individual liberty and creativity is what makes our country great not any government program. Today, Americans are wowed by the empty oratory of politicians who promise nothing but failed socialism in disguise. Even the presumptive Republican nominee cloaks himself in the mantle of Reagan but has shown that he doesn't understand Reagan's philosophy. Reagan was an idealist AND an ideologue. His policies were based in his rock solid conservative ideology. That doesn't mean he never compromised. But compromise is something different than standing on the same side of an issue with those who are supposed to be your political adversaries. John McCain is no Ronald Reagan."

I believe he is absolutely right. Now you all know that I'm a John McCain supporter so you may be asking why I think this YouTube user is right when he is criticizing McCain. Well first of all this was posted in February and I think McCain has improved since than. Second of all I just think that John McCain is soooo much better then Barack Obama. I know that John McCain has firm values and political stances. Barack Obama just manages to be on both sides of every single issue. Who knows what Barack Obama believes? I sure don't. He's just a smooth talking snake charmer who is hypnotizing americans with his good speeches. C'mon america you're smarter than this! Realize that their is nothing in Obama's speeches besides cleverly disguised socialism. Anyways I will end this with a "Yes We Can" video about Ronald Reagan that the YouTube user's words accompanied.
