Satirical Cartoon I did about Obama's supporters

[Saxon]

I got rather sick of Obama's supporters mindlessly supporting a man who hasn't really done anything much yet, so I made a short cartoon comparing them to the mindless hordes who attended political rallies during the last major economic crisis in the 1930s (hurf).

I made the whole thing with MS Paint and Movie Maker, so don't expect the animation to be outstandingly good!
The content is a little edgy, so I would advise not watching it at school or at work

If you like the cartoon, please rate it and spread the word! =]

That was... just awful. I think it would have been better, had it contained some valid points or humour.

Head for the RandomThread.

You probably came up with this in the spur of the moment, and it shows. You should have spend more time writing the text and searched for better background info, or rather factual info. It was random and certainly not funny. Actually it was rather disturbing especially when Obama, a black man, was suddenly wearing a nazi logo.

I'm not even sure if you could call it satirical, perhaps "random" would be better suited.

In depth review of your arguments in the video:
Why are you upset he closed Guantanamo bay? America was violating human rights, a country of the free where "justice prevails" has a prison where you can get locked up without even a trial, bit ironic no? Complaining about something like this is like saying you're against human rights.

Second coming of christ? What? Because he is trying to close a prison that is in direct violation with the justice system? WHAT!?

Also, a good democratic system works like this: Mass people ask for something, government executes it as good as they can. Or do you rather want a despot who is thinking what's in his best interests?

Bush didn't cause "dark times", you're exaggerating a bit. People just started to disagree with his decisions and he wasn't the best president for economics, which is what America needs right now. There have been far worse presidents.
You say Bush is an "evil warmonger", well he himself said he was a war president, but that doesn't make him evil. His intentions were certainly not evil.

Obama is actually trying to do something to help the economy, if it's the correct thing to do, i do not know, only time will tell. Which makes your statement of "we can believe i'm actually doing something" false.

All in all, seems you're sore because Obama won. It's more like you are trying to vent off anger rather than to be funny, satirical or anything else.

Traditionally, after a period of good economy (EX dot com boom) there has been a recession, or at least slowdown, because nothing we can do can match that new technology that excited everyone. It really wasn't bushes fault (Though it pains me to say it).

And why the hell did Obama close the prison? Then again, I'm a proud supporter of torture it could just be me.

[KILLA-COW]

You owe me like 2 minutes of my life. To anyone thinking about watching this - I wouldn't bother. About as funny as the holocaust.

[Woe Kitten]

Don't get me wrong here dood, but that was friken rubbish.

the truth.

"obama = second coming of christ"

There is some truth to that. If you look at the way half of the nation has praised a man who hasnt even done anything yet (comparing him to FDR, JFK, and Lincoln wtf?) is completely idiotic and expected of the American people. The only reason we have this skinny Harvard lawyer with less than a full term of a seat as senator is because of that moron criminal Bush and his cronies.

In one interview on the news, one lady said listening to Obama at the inauguration was like listening to God. Am I the only one seeing something wrong here?

[Sorrow]

It's not like you can listen to god so I suppose she meant he's the next best thing

[Woe Kitten]

The fact that you think he hasn't done anything yet says more about you than the American people. He's won over a good portion of the rest of the world by basically not being your standard moronic American. It's not just Bush, your Presidents have been that way my whole life. Democrat or Republican the basic retoric has been the same old nationalistic bullturd for as long as I remember. Obama is the first President in my life time that hasn't been sickening to listen to. That's worth a hell of a lot to be honest. He's also effectively closed Guantanamo and done so in a very responsible and measured way.

You'll find that relations between America and the arab world have already improved before he's even done anything because people don't see him as an ignorant and opressive leader.

Obviously thinking of him like a God is rediculous but the point is that the stuff he is 'preaching' is forward thinking, human, responsible and will actually help rather than damage. If he follows through on his words, and we have no reason to expect that he will fail to do so, then the world is going to be a much better place as a result.

[zombie@computer]

im not really into politics, but so far this Obama guy seems to have done more good for his country, and the rest of the world, than Bush did in his entire presidency. If he continues to work as he's doing now, i think good times are coming for a certain 300 million people in this world.

Oh, and im not very fond of this The Escapist style cartoons. Its like giving one builders tools to an artist: you just get more solid looking crap.

This man speaks the truth.

I'm not the first person to do that sort of thing. Lenny Henry and other black comedians have dressed up as Hitler in the past. My point of that was that people were still mindlessly cheering Obama when obviously something was wrong.
More to the point, how is that more offensive than portraying Bush as retarded? If anything the portrayals of Bush were considerably more offensive.

I'm not upset that he's closing Guantanamo Bay, again that was making fun of how people seem to think "ZOMG Obama closed Gitmo, he is orsem".

This video isn't reflective of my personal politics, like I keep saying it's about the moronic supporters who think so highly of him for doing nothing. This seems to be lost on some of the people in this thread.

I honestly don't care that Obama won since him winning the election doesn't actually benefit or disadvantage me in any way.


Oh and it isn't a "random" cartoon, it's based on current events in politics. The delivery is meant to be fast paced, I don't do humour for slow people.

[korge]

I cant really talk politics when so many europeans love the idea of america becoming socialist like them. BBC is the equivalent of CNN.

Anyways Im not going to argue over whether or not Obama is a good president since (no you are wrong, he hasnt done anything for this country except pay off friends using taxes; He is just another bush head) Bush was a horrible president and (despite all the lousy media cover up by CNN) so was Clinton. Oh wait it gets better, almost ALL obamas cabinet is re used clinton morons. That scoundrel you call Obama is nothing more than a young speaker for the same crap in washington. He is no change, just more of the same. You would think after 16 years of crappy government that the people would demand more of their country. No, we got to pick between Bush 3 or an unknown man whose name rhymes with a terrorist of the nation.

The media is in bed with the corrupt people who run washington and we are only given the illusion of "choice and freedom" until idiots like nancy pelosi take it all away.

Mccain was a flop:

He was such a pushover and I believe he was forced to become the Republican choice (Over night McCain is pushed to the front even though he was behind in polls. Romney had my vote early in primaries and he would have beat Obama let alone Clinton)

You cannot watch these and not believe that Obama is only a speaker and nothing more. I see no change at all. Just a speaker who can ignite the hearts of all those who hate bush:

BTW: You may notice (just as I do) that at the end of over the course of the 100+ speeches he has made, he hasnt really said much at all.

Hitler was a great speaker as well. Im not saying Obama is hitler but the fact that he can do this much just by simply talking is dangerous and points out how controllable the majority of the population is.

Like ben franklin once said, after writing the constitution, he gave us a republic, if we can keep it.

"When the people find they can vote themselves money,
that will herald the end of the republic." - Benjamin Franklin

aka Obama "steal from the rich, give to the poor."

Jesus said the poor will always be with us. Sucks that it has to bring down the entire nation as well. Same way McCain tried to get illegals on his side to bump up his votes, Obama stirred up the poor as well.


As for liberal silencing of any people who disagree with them (ie racist sexist gayhaters gunowners... you know, people with real opinions) Ben also said this.

"In those wretched countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarce call anything his own. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech."

If you dont think Democrats would love to destroy freedom of speech, think again. With obama's hope for a Civilian National Security force (aka: take all the poor people off the streets, give them guns and make them work directly for the president/sovereign ex:Halflife2) this would really become possible.

Just give this goose 10 - 15 more years to cook and America will be through and through destroyed if we stay on this path.
