WAKE THE **** UP!



WARNING: CONTENTS OF VIDEO ARE SLIGHTY INAPPROPRIATE!!! (Sorry)

I know this video is pretty controversial and possibly slightly immature, but I think the message being conveyed overall is worth the vulgarity...and plus it's entertaining.

The ideas in the video seen in Romney's campaign have the ability to drastically change the country we live in if he is voted into office. I think the main point Samuel L. Jackson is making by yelling...forcefully...at all of the members of that family is that if they don't do their part in stopping Romney from winning, no one else will either. It is our job as American voters to elect the best possible leader for our country. In my opinion, that leader is Barack Obama.

I realize that not everyone is going to agree with me that Obama is the future, but I think that just adds to this argument. Whether someone agrees with the view points of Romney or Obama, nothing is going to change unless they vote for them. Im 18 years old, and I know that the majority of my friends who are old enough to vote are not going to. This is either because they are too lazy or simply because they don't know enough about politics to make a decision. That is unacceptable.

People nowadays like to think that if they stay away from politics, politics will stay away from them. But, that's NOT true. Everything about the upcoming election is going to affect every American's life, whether it be by way of social issues or economic. Money- ever heard of it? The amount you find in your wallet could change drastically if unemplyment rates begin to once again increase. That's something to worry about! Or taxes? Healthcare? Retirement? Gay marriage? Abortion rights? Really? None of those apply to you? Good joke.

  1. I have seen this video. Yes, a little inappropriate but a very relevant point. I like how you really build out on those important issues. You look beyond the humor and inappropriateness and see its importance.
