The Empire Strikes Barack

It is a period of political civil war. Hillary Clinton, striking from her hidden base in Pennsylvania, has scored a major victory against Barack Obama. During the battle, rogue surrogates provided distractions from real issues. Pursued by the Republican Party’s sinister agents ... well, you get the idea.

Watch it:

This is an exceptional video that, indeed, shows us who’s who in the current race for the democratic nomination, all the way down to the evil Sith lord (Bill Clinton). Life it appears does imitate art. Again, a well done and informative video.

That was the most hilarious thing I’ve seen in weeks. More impressive than Obama is the funny shit his supporters come up with on youtube.

It’s about time someone portrayed our campaign action figures in a way that’s comprehensible to the average voter.

Found this fun to watch, the whole campaign has become so ugly, this is needed to bring a small amount of levity to the situation.

I voted for Obama and I plan to vote for Obama in the fall.

Clintons have shown no ability except their primary skill, which is to treat truth with contempt.

Give Obama a chance. We know that the Clintons are Republicans at their core and in their hearts. Republicanism means death, dictatorship and the loss of liberty.

At lest Obama means hope.

We, as a society and nation, are truly being tested now.

What are we made of? The Dem nomination contest is showing some of the very ugly sides of our society and our political climate.

Maybe we will end up better for it all.

Obama has far too much money to spend. He would do better to spend it telling the people exactly HOW he intends to change America and the world. He has yet to give us a clue.

What would the world be without South Park’s contribution of the talking cutout head? There’s probably a more legit, “industry” term for that but you all know what I mean. - TheEnd
