Out of touch doesn't begin to describe it, but I guess he's calling upon the propaganda lemmings to do his bidding for the next several months.

For realz.

But he does have a point:

"You're the tie-breaker," he said. "You're the ultimate arbiter of which direction this country goes."

Most people in the US follow what either ABC NBC CBS FOX or MSNBC tells them to think.

Your ad hominem of the source is duly noted, though, showing there's no defense for a quote taken verbatim from the event, another in a long line that is sealing his fate.

And you pretend to care about the plight of the 99% while this narcissistic actor kowtows to those who actually get paid to do it. He also speaks through both sides of his mouth by voicing support for the occupiers and then loftily addresses this audience of similarly out-of-touch elitists.

I don't see things that way at all.

Actions speak the loudest. You may be settling for what you consider to be the lesser of 2 evils by continuing to support Barack, but I get the sense that's still who you'll be selecting come November.

And re: the aforementioned comment about the major networks, they have already showed their hand in how they report (or don't) about the latest news developments, including the Catholic church's legal fight against this administration and the hideous healthcare mandate.

The Catholic church? They are getting close to being as much of a joke as the Westboro clan nowdays.

Which, makes me wonder thoughts on the Deportation Reform?

^Subverting the constitution is so cool, man. A would-be "constitutional scholar" would know best anyway.

Re: Hollywood Is The "Ultimate Arbiter Of Which Direction This Country Goes"

Both parties and their supporters have and will continue to use Hollywood to further their own agendas. Obama may be out of touch with common folk but he is in total Kahoots with the real movers and shakers of 'popular culture'.

Dave Chapelle speaking on Hollywood, "Maybe the environment is a little sick."

Chapelle is a cool cat...definitely underwent some serious enlightenment on his sabbatical or escape or whatever it was.

And I am not so sure Hollywood embraces Republicans (and hasn't in forever), unless you're referring to movies that appeal to patriotism and are supportive of the Military.

Yes, the "Good Wars", brought to you by government, Hollywood and the msm.

All three work together in the continued fooling, dumbing down of it's own citizens and those of other nations around the globe.

Just found this article on, 'Hollywoodism' a short while ago.

Except they don't always portray them favorably. ;) Green Zone was a perfect example of this.

Re: Hollywood Is The "Ultimate Arbiter Of Which Direction This Country Goes"

Haven't watched it. How are the Americans, the US depicted in this movie as opposed to their victims?

I rarely do Hollywood these days other than "comedies". And even then it's a real struggle to find something genuinely funny.

'The Dictator' anyone?
