The Footage Barack Obama Doesn't Want You to See - Do the Letters "RR" Mean Anything to You?, page 1

T he Footage Barack Obama Doesn't Want You to See - Do the Letters "RR" Mean Anything to You?

Well, we all knew it was inevitable.

Eventually, video would emerge which would completely destroy all the Obamaniac's dreams of a Hopey America.

And here it is...

Looks like John McCain is a shoo-in to win the election now.

What more can I say....

Apparently you don't know who or what "RR" is....

It is very important that the discussion about the video remains quiet until more of us have had some time to digest such important news.

I think it should remain here in 'Breaking Political News". It involves a politician, and his celebrity. It involves modern pop culture.

Honestly, I am not sure that due to McCain's lack of computer savy, he would even understand this video, and the important information it includes.

But thanks for your concern Jemison, but leave the modding to the mods, okay?

I must agree with you.

Is this "Breaking News" or even "news" worthy, no.

This should be in the Jokes, Puns, & Pranks Discussion Forum in my opinion.

After all, the source is "Comedy Central"!

And I was just "Rick Rolled"!!!

Somebody sure put in a lot of time to make that video though.

Wow, I appreciate the comments, but come on, do you really not understand what is going on? I would think before you try to spoil the video for everyone, you might think twice. Try clicking this link if you don't have a clue: "RR"

Or is it that you all have been under the same rock that John McCain has...

But if the membership can't work with me, then the mods might as well move it to BTS. I would rather they completely remove it from the board. I might also want them to explain the process to systematically remove all the content I have contributed, and cancel my membership.

P.S. What I find amazing is that Obama has said all those lines, and someone took the time to edit that video together.

Now that this thread has had some time to cool off, and has been relegated to 'joke status' in BTS, I feel I can fully explain my intent without offending to many fellow members.

I posted this 'Rickroll' Obama cut-up per the ATS guidelines (Besides my short, purposeful one liner of course!) However, my news source, if one actually click through to the link was 'Comedy Central' itself. I did this to see if anyone even cared to comment out the Comedy Central coverage of this election is as on point as any of the news casts out there. Nothing about the information in the video was presented to skew Obama's position, besides perhaps any affiliation with Rick Astley. Rickrolling

So essentially, it was the act of Rick Rolling the membership that caused this discussion of this video, the internet itself, and the rabid nature some members of ATS have dived into the mud in this election. So many of my fellow members had been relentlessly trying to find the 'secret' that Obama has been hiding, whatever that may be (in their minds or possibly in reality). Either way, I feel that many of the responses to the video have more to do with the nature of my fellow ATS members, and their haste in recent history, this thread included. Also, I feel many of the responses show the 'cultural awareness' of many of our users, for some, this was their first time being 'rickrolled' and I can forgive your insults as a transgression of your naivete about these things.

Thanks to 'Night Vision' for the RR Approval of this message!
But a special thanks to 'anachryon' for the insight about what I was trying to do with this thread. So many came to this thread when I first posted looking for some 'Watergate' scandal, and came away hopefully a bit more sceptical about what they are presented. I honestly was so tired of the polar opposites of diety/antichrist Dominion type of threads, that I had hoped a few of us getting RickRolled would be a light hearted affair. Instead, I feel like I created a thread of tantrums similar to a toddler crying because they got vanilla instead of chocolate ice cream.

I doubt a single poster to this thread can say that they think Obama 'wants' anyone to watch that video....
