Obama's YouTube Endorsement Video - Epic Fail

Obama cut a video for Hillary, but omg is it going over like a lead balloon. As of right now, 19k likes, 51k dislikes. I've tried multiple times throughout the day, but the actual comments on the video have never displayed once for me. Earlier this afternoon, it showed over 9,000 comments, but when you went to look at them, it always said, "Comments unable to load." Yah right. And now, not only does it still show no comments but the number of them has also been scrubbed.

That is what’s needed at this point in history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mani_pulite

Mani pulite (pronounced [ˈmaːni puˈliːte], Italian for "clean hands") was a nationwide judicial investigation into political corruption in Italy held in the 1990s. Mani pulite led to the demise of the so-called "First Republic", resulting in the disappearance of many political parties. Some politicians and industry leaders committed suicide after their crimes were exposed. Antonio Di Pietro was the main judicial figure in charge of the operation.

In some accounts, as many as 5,000 public figures fell under suspicion. At one point, more than half of the members of the Italian Parliament were under indictment. More than 400 city and town councils were dissolved because of corruption charges.

for such a purge than the Clinton
family, given the decades they've
been involved in corruption not
only across parties but now
clearly world-wide with
governments and other bad
actors around the globe.

Best it start soon, too, because
apparently lots of US and non-US
spy agencies as well as all sorts of
mafias and other bad actors have
had access to what was held on
HRC's unsecure server since it
was first set up.

The blackmailing of her fellow-
travelers in criminal dealings is
likely the least of the damage that
can be done - and that is immense.

Edited to add:

I have also read that the server
was backed up on the cloud.
Not sure which corporation's
servers, but at least some corp
has all that data, too ...
including, of course, the some
30,000 of "personal emails"
she claims to have selected out
from State Dept. ones and to
have "wiped" from the server
before turning it over to investigators.

This is all so mind-bogglingly
dirty and utterly stupid on top of
that.

Vowing To Oppose Everything Trump Attempts.

I listened but didn't watch (spouse said Obama shook his head in side to side negative motion, classic repudiation of what he was saying; did he?). From words alone, he sounded high on the phony scale. The way Clinton does most of the time. Obama can turn on the "genuine," the preach it, brother! oratory when he wants to. My impression: He didn't sound as if he cared about selling it. As if it were barely a cut above pro forma.

As part of my prior profession I dedicated some time to studying the subject and it really isn't that hard once you learn the basic signs to look for as far as micro-expressions and verbal tics go.

There is a decent primer on it at How Stuff Works.

I think Obama demonstrated several of them quite clearly in his video.

Reid was speaking for Sanders--who'd have responded if given a smidge of time--basically telling reporters to give the old guy space to process the "loser" stuff and get with the program, but not to worry, he would. I didn't see it as kindness at all. Just sayin'.

Someone posted that exchange from a different camera angle, and it wasn't so painful.

what Reid said. But Bernie sure looked silenced and troubled. As painful as it is to see, it also represents a genuine expression of Bernie, with which he always seems to respond. It's probably the one most significant characteristic of Bernie, his sincerity.

Obama doesn't look too thrilled or dedicated to what he's saying. Maybe it's somewhat of a genuine expression on his part, and expresses his truly conflicting feelings. These are truly not happy occasions. Wish America would choose happiness over more misery.

I think a lot of people are ascribing feelings to him that reflect how we would feel. Most of us are not in a position to gloat over pulling a fast one over a massive group of people which is exactly what he is doing--pretty much for eight years and more now. This is just one more hoodwink. Otherwise, he would have said something about the voting issues among other things.

I think it was a press conference set up for Bernie to announce his concession/endorsement for H, but he hadn't agreed to that. Now, he starts out with a small smile to the reporters, but the first question is how he feels about Obama's endorsement of Hillary. What I wonder is if this was news to him at this point. (At Bernie's press conference earlier, outside the WH, he expressed gratitude that Obama & Biden had not endorsed during the primary. I think Obama failed to tell him that he was about to endorse H at that time, but probably asked B to endorse her & drop out of the race.) Anyway, what can B say now, and with Reid sitting right there? Reid takes over, but there's not really anything for him to say either. Still, he gets in some denigration of Bernie by hammering home that HIS caucus is still open to Bernie. Reid is affirming that he is an establishment head of the party & Bernie is not.

off-Guardian recently put up a
piece that anyone who makes
comments anywhere should
check out.

In short, software is being
deployed across the internet
that leaves your comment -
deemed 'unacceptable' by site
administrators - visible to you
on your device but renders it
simply "not there" to everyone
else.

The example the article uses,
with screen-shots, is the CBS
commenting system.

The only way to find out if this
is happening to your comments
is to log in as a different user to
see if your comment appears
to that user. Sometimes you
apparently need to try to see
your comment from a different
device/IP address.

This software is apparently
quite the new 'in' thing in
internet censorship.

It's an interesting article:

Thing is, he also points to why this is the wrong way to attack Hillary -- and she deserves a mountain of criticism for her policies and views on a host of things. Primarily her love of war, empire, capitalism, the destruction of the commons here and around the world, Wall Street, etc. etc. Ironically, her love of the surveillance state, too. Her love of Kissinger, etc.

She has done soooo many far worse things than set up a private email server. And it makes no sense to applaud Snowden for his leaks -- which I do -- and then to go after Clinton for potential leaks via a private server. Yes, one can accuse her of stupidity, egotism and sloppiness. But this simply doesn't rise above the usual asinine and hubristic behavior endemic to both political parties. What does go beyond that are her views on war (and her direct participation in the decision-making), the extension of American capitalism via force, and the obvious quid pro quo nature of her relationship with billionaires and Wall Street.

I truly don't get the fixation on the email server by some of her critics, and I count myself among them.

I have never seen a more insincere endorsement...O did not have his heart in it at all, imo.

He looked like he was a hostage praising his captors... Disgusting is all that I can say for that.

He looked like he was just going through the motions, no heart or enthusiasm.

Aside from the fact that I am hugely disgusted that he is thwarting the path to justice by delaying EmailGate til AFTER THE FRIGGIN ELECTION, there is also something fishy in his endorsement for the above reasons. (I hope the Intelligence Community leaks the hell out of this because they are being played for fools, with their lives and missions threatened by those who 'are above the law'... who said it, 'if the president does it, it is lawful'?)

I suppose when the Clinton's have a gun to your head, you have to do what they tell you. Not that I don't think that he has also sold out long ago to the oligarchy.

This will crater whatever hope he had of Legacy. Pooft! Gone. He will be known as the president who allowed the Clinton Cartel to steal the White House.

is because ONLY you can see it. I don't know if it was in this thread or elsewhere, but one trick they do on YT is show you your comments, but not show them to anyone else. Because you see it, you assume others can as well.

But if you log out of your google account and reload the page in a different browser (maybe clear the cookies and history first) you will see that there's no comment publicly available on that page.

When President Obama speaks now, I hear the same "blah, blah, blah" that I heard when Dubya speaks and when Hillary speaks.

Saying nothing that can be taken as trusted. Obama continues to disappoint with his endorsement of Debbie Odious Wasserman.

PLease support Tim Canova against Debbie Odious Wasserman. It would be SO sweet to crush her in the primary in Fl on Aug 30th. Turn out is going to be crucial. https://timcanova.com/ He is a strong Bernie backer.

Tim Canova has been a vocal opponent of President Obama’s signature trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), that Debbie approves of (of course).

And I feel I know precisely why, given my youtubing hobby: all comments are being held for review. At least, that's what I'm thinking. I'm not sure if that would retroactively remove comments from all videos, but it's the only option I know of that allows people to still post comments, yet have none of the comments show up. I expect that the videos on that channel will gradually start having glowing, praising comments popping up as time goes on, while absolutely nothing negative is seen anywhere. I also expect that the like/dislike bar will suddenly be rendered invisible to our lying and hateful eyes.
