This is bad news... for Obama.

i feel like at the beginning of the interview he wanted to smack that guy upside the head for talking like an idiot

Will he make a guest appearance on my super sweet sixteen or the real world? The world waits to see what great leader does next. O hh and don't forget to bow to his statue it is on the left on the way out.

Youth vote. This campaign has a more expansive youth vote operation than any other in history.

Somewhere in there is a poorly articulated attack on Obama.

That was a pretty sweet interview, though. I liked the line about how people are used to politicians saying whatever they want. C'est vrai. Et c'est mal.

You got a problem with encouraging young people to fulfill their civic responsibility and participate in the political process?

Oh poo. Imagine the simpsons yoda with that knowing look in that big white box up there.

Also, on style over substance...that hasn't worked. We NEED substance. People NEED to look at substance and throw style to the wayside. Even though I think Obama wins on both counts.

Hell I wish he would take me now to be rid of this clownship that people are supporting. Steal from the rich to give to the poor once then they are in office. Then bleed them dry, once you have bleed the rich who is next?

No worries socialists for 2008. We will destroy everything.

The last good show on MTV was Sifl and Olly.

that site looks like a myspace webpage.

oh its MTV..i guess thats what they wanted...

The news isn't inviting the youth to participate, the news is the R.S.V.P.
This election has introduced an entire generation to politics and they grew up on free-ware, free ideas and porn.
Religion will exit politics in the next fifteen years, or it will risk becoming socially taboo.

My takeaway from this softball interview: David Axelrod is about to be in the political strategist Hall of Fame.

I'll give Mtv this: Mr. Sway asked the exact angry-young-man question of Mr. O that I want to ask -- and Barak landed his point. so thx

I'll take from Mtv this: yor programming, mission and overall impact on everything good about anything in life sucks. so pls cease to exist.

If you don't like the direction democracy is taking our country, you are free to leave. Us mouth breathing liberal hippie "socialists" believe in human rights, freedom and liberty (suicide, euthanasia etc). It's not like I'm going to miss you. And with your attitude, I doubt anyone else will either.

Eidolon: Youth vote. This campaign has a more expansive youth vote operation than any other in history.

Very true, but even they are pissed off at the hypocrisy of "Music" Television. I expected the interview to be interrupted every 5 seconds via TRL. I'm also glad they didn't have a random 5 second music bite (plus other ads) between segments.

/22 years old
//MTV =/= "Reality" (edited, scripted, spoiled brats) TV

 
DonPeyote 2008-09-28 12:44:32 AM  
Is it just me or does Obama look like he's aged 20 years in the last 18 months on the campaign trail? He may do well to take a few days off, smoke a pack or two, drink some beers and nail Michelle. The VP's are next up on the debate block and given the uncertain nature of both Biden and Pallin some r and r could be huge right now.

Honestly, I think a little gray hair helps him. The campaign and the office are supposed to age the candidates, and it makes Obama look more presidential. The inevitable age that the campaign adds to a person doesn't help someone in as bad of shape as McCain.

Of course he does. Younger voters, especially in college, tend Democrat.

That's all that matters to him. It's obvious that even a president as historically bad as Bush isn't enough to convince this guy that the Republican party is broken.

Um, if you leave then how do you expect to change the aspects you don't like? Or are you just trying to get those who don't agree with you to leave so that we'll be nice and homogenized after a few more election cycles?

Wait. What? Are you saying the conservatives in India left their country so they could open curry houses and provide tech support in the most progressively liberal nations in the world? ARE THEY MAD!? "Brain drain" generally refers to the exodus of the intellectual class. You know, the kind of people that know the difference between "their" and "there".
