155. 24hr Newscycle x YouTube x Bloggers = The Age of New Media
Just because some idiot posted it on the web, doesn't implicitly link this to Obama.

We may have jumped the gun on this one, but hey, that's life in the age of new media. We have a free and open tool for society to use. Anyone anywhere anytime can able to broadcast a message. Some are legitimate and have revolutionized the way the M$M reports the news. Some blogger out there can keep the world honest by posting what's really going on.

On the flip side, many vids and info are proven (sometimes VERY quickly... some are still being debated) to be erroneous or fakes or tricks.

IF this was a fake, it was a good one. And you have to understand why people were easily fooled, especially when it is so incredibly believeable considering the source. If so, we apologize. But what the hell do you think we've been going through? Does FINGERGATE ring a bell? We're all being played here, fella. The media is just switching up who they rag on. Today it's Hillary, tomorrow Obama and so forth.

But regarding posting videos, legit or not, I can only say one thing: Welcome to life in a new age. It's complex. Structure, rules, and etiquette are still being established, but that hardly can be blamed on Obama or his supporters.
