Thanks for the reply, and yes, you are correct, the videos shown as examples, are government sponsored propaganda. From my perception, the video in
your thread was made individually, as you have said. However, the content of the video seems suspect? Perhaps, she is in tune with Barack Obama's
policies and what not, but to make a video, and post on You tube?
Now, I am not naive, and she has probably overheard her parents' discussion about their agreements or disagreements with the Obama administration at
the dinner table or on the car ride to grandma and grandpa's, but to go out of her way and make a video exclusively on her own, and put it in a
public forum, such as, You Tube? I still think adults put her up to this, because I mean what care is it of her's, really? She has not had to close
down her lemonade stand, or lost her dollhouse in foreclosure, or having difficulties acquiring a loan for her allowance. That was a pun, but you get
what I mean. So, to put it simply, I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around the purpose of this particular video, you have decided to share
with us? Children are highly impressionable, and I completely abhor adults that exploit them for their personal gains, financial or political. We just
recently saw it with "Baloon Boy." That type of behavior should be contested at all times.
Now, back to the videos I showed as an examples. I know they are extreme examples of using children to make a political message, however, those videos
started from something more simple and unsuspecting, did they not? First they begin as cute and subtle, and gradually build to blatant exploitation as
shown in the videos. So, I guess you can call the gradual progression, a lulling of the populace. The people are exposed to a certain thing for so
long until it is of no concern to them, as it might have been at the onset. Thanks for the added incite, as well.
