Reply #140: They key paragraph in that clip, for me, is this: [View All]

[Stinky The Clown]

"One of the things in this—you know, a large part what I write about in No Logo is the absorption of these political movements into the world of marketing. And, you know, the first time I saw the “Yes, We Can” video that was produced by Will.i.am, my first thought was, you know, “Wow. A politician has finally produced an ad as good as Nike that plays on our, sort of, faded memories of a more idealistic era, but, yet, doesn’t quite say anything.” We think we hear the message we want to hear, but if you really parse it, the promises aren’t there, it’s really the emotions."

I think that may be a source of some of the disillusionment with Obama. People are now realizing they got fooled and they don't like it.

While I cite the above, I must add (for the stalkers) that is not my issue with him .... just my observation.
