    Great republican propaganda!

      Except propaganda is usually false; the source has nothing to do with the veracity of the content. If you can explain to me how Obama’s healthcare aspirations do not conflict with his pledge to “not raise taxes one cent on the middle class”, I would be very interested. BTW didn’t he just raise the federal tobacco tax? Oh but only rich people smoke.

    @JAM
    Did you look up the definition of propaganda? It does not necessarily have to be false.

      Well if you are concluding that the video tells the truth, then we both agree, and I take back my previous comment.

    Hahaha yeah right. Propaganda is the manipulation of facts to influence someone’s point of view. For example, telling people it is okay to go to the tanning salon because our bodies need vitamin D yet we all know that UV light causes cancer.

      I agree with you Obama should ban tanning salons… or even better the Sun!!!! Free heathcare for everyone! Yay!

      Also, I refuse to accept your definition of the word “propaganda” until Obama accepts the definition of the word “taxes”.

    I’m ignoring response #6.

    So if Obama doesn’t define a word correctly you will ignore all accurate definitions of words in the dictionary?

      Yup. You seem to articulate illogical thought processes pretty naturally. ZING!!!

    What? How is that?

    Refusal to accept an established definition of a word is illogical, which is what you just did concerning the term “propaganda.” Yes, Obama is doing the same thing when it comes to the term “taxes”, but that doesn’t change the fact that the video is propaganda, by definition.

      It was a light hearted joke that suggestively linked your support for Obama with your ability to follow illogical thought processes.
