A heartbreaking work of staggering genius.

Hillary Clinton has been running as if she were the Republican for quite some time and will continue to do so.

Scorched Earth is typical Clintonian tactics. Even their admirers have admitted this.

I had the incredible fortune of shaking Obamas hand at a rally in Missoula, Montana and I have to admit that I left that stadium feeling incredibly inspired. I felt much better about my childrens futures knowing that a man like Obama will finally be where we need him.

Full of win. :D

Did you look into his eyes and see that he was a man with a good soul too?

Actually, it seemed like a lot of the footage was from part II, so...not so much.

And thank GOD that they worked in part where he catches a chicken.

As funny as this is I really really really think that somebody could take it the wrong way... the whole black man punching white woman thing and all.

Rocky may have lost in the movie, but he won the hearts and minds of everyone.

AWESOME video

 
quatchi 2008-04-19 06:41:31 AM  
Best. Mashup. EVAR!

Aside from the fact that Rocky does lose in a split decision to Apollo Creed in the original film it should be noted that it was Chilly Hilly who originally made the Rocky comparison to herself. Going from annointing herself the "inevitable" candidate to doing a 180 and becoming the "gutsy underdawg" would be quite a stretch of the imagination fer anyone else but fer a gal who took sniper fire and came up smiling one imagines that it's mere small potatoes.

In truth, Obama, the ultimate outsider, IS Rocky. A half black son of a single mom winning back the black vote from Hillary, winning over the SupaDelegates who she had spent 10 years lining up, winning the money wars, winning the hearts and minds of concerned folks all across America. Taking Hillary's thirty point lead in PA and whittling it down to 3 or 4 according to the latest polls That's the real story here. He's ahead in NC by 15 points at present and leads in some polls in Indiana as well.

Hill may "win" PA by a point or two but Baracky's "comeback" has been spectacular and noteworthy and he will go on to become the Dem nom and then the President of the United States.

How farking cool is that?

One problem- despite all the buzz and excitement you have about Obama- he is unelectable in the general election. You have stopped talking about Rev. Wright, and other issues, but too many people who don't live on one of the coasts will not forget. That will cause just enough fear in middle America to hand McCain a win in November.

if you didnt notice the part where Sen Clinton as Apollo says to say negative things about him and his family was in Rocky 2 to get Rocky to fight again at least im pretty sure

if so they thought it out and knew their stuff Rocky wins in the second one

/loves me some Rocky movies

 
MonkeyVegetables [TotalFark] 2008-04-19 09:12:09 AM  
lol awesome vid though

 
SubBass49 2008-04-19 10:50:30 AM  
I love this video...and the fact that a fellow FARKER made it makes it even better!

How hokey and sanctimonious.

brilliant!

The amount of win from that video just made my head explode.

"Pootie Poot"

Be Serious. He's a product of the Chicago machine that learned, after '68, to not ignore the hard left.

His economics policy is a blood oath to kill the American econ(ob-ammy) economy. Just look at his response to capital taxes:

(paraphrased): "Yeah, well, screw the statistics... we need to make it even!"

Your evaluation is based on magic. A republican has been in office since 2001 and had a clear majority of congress the same party as he for a solid six years and the economy has gone to complete crap. Obama may or may not make the economy better but he certainly couldn't make it worse - because it is absolutely at its worst right now.

Just get Obama to the debates.

I like his chances going one on one with a 100 year old Republican running on "progress in Iraq".

Even if he loses it's a discussion I'd like to see.

 
TheQuest35 2008-04-19 04:54:05 PM  
Can anyone post that Obama poster. The satrie one that read like "can you trust this guy? hell yeah you can look at this mother farker"

 
Stile4aly 2008-04-19 05:17:45 PM  
I do love Barack, but this video made me realize that he has a massive melon on top of those shoulders.

(and no, melon is not a race joke).

Yeah, whatever. If stupid people ultimately decide the vote, then we deserve what we get.

As someone who lives in middle America, in the state that gave Obama his first win, I have to tell you there's not a lot of "fear of Obama" going on around here. There is a lot of bitterness about how Bush and the republicans have run this country into the ground for the last seven years.

ftfy again.

Yes people, Rocky lost in the first movie, but this vid had lots of stuff form "Rocky II," in which he wins. Also, as someone else pointed out, Hilla---I mean Apollo gets killed by McCa--I mean Drago while trying to make a comeback.

Do any of you at least think the 2012 reelec--I mean "Part III" will end with a freeze frame of Obama and Clinton sparring in a gym?
