Launched on a new YouTube platform that allows viewers to share content, make donations and sign petitions on a single page, the hope is that the doc will go viral.

As expected, Obama's gang are deleting most negative contents.  I would not post a comment on his video myself.  Google owns youtube and has close ties to Obeyme.

The video was 17 minutes, and all they did was blame Bush, and claim that 0bama is superman.

Don't be so sure. They will get the 12% black vote, the 4% queer vote, the 15% queer supporter vote, the 20% liberal vote, the 8% admitted communist vote, the 22% white guilt vote, the 14% DUmmie vote, the 38% entitlement vote, the 48% non taxpaying vote and 100% of the dead vote.....now adding that up in my head, it comes to 281% of the votes.....minus a few hanging chads here and there.
