YouTube's Dark Side

Political saboteurs are now using YouTube as their free global sign, the latest of course the display of images intended to destroy Barack Obama

I guess I’m still caught in the late twentieth century with regard to YouTube.  I’ve never once posted a video and though I enjoy catching certain videos here and there, I’ve always found the thing a big exercise in self-importance.  It seems, however, that YouTube has really evolved over the years and I am really impressed with these primary roundup videos.  I am very curious to see what will happen in the general elections on YouTube. - TheEnd
