Barack Obama Says Lose the SUV, Fatty. May 21, 2008

Posted by Nalts in : Nalts, Online Video, Viral Video, YouTube , trackback

I really find little pleasure in politics, and rarely appreciate political humor. But when someone told me today that Barack Obama said the following in Oregon, it created an uncontrollable desire in me to satire the remarksNalts has already given ShayCarl his assignment for a collab video, but I can’t find the video footage of this quote to save his life! Free credit to anyone who can help!

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.

It’s a fair statement, but how can we not take it a little personally?

But Mr. Obama, hear me now.

There’s one thing that’s bigger than our bloated guts.

It soars higher than our energy bills.

And it works harder than an SUV burning precious fuel…

What is it, you ask? Our collective American pride in humor as a defense mechanism.

Nalts, post my article you SOB

3. sukatra - May 21, 2008

Nalts, don’t piss Zack off. Really. It would be a BIG mistake. He can be very, very persistent.

4. Zack Scott - May 21, 2008

Sukatra, stop posting here (and cursing) and post a new video.

5. Marilyn - May 21, 2008

Leave sukatra alone, Zack! Leave her alone!

6. sukatra - May 21, 2008

Zack-

No.

Doesn’t Obama own 2 personal SUVs, fly around in private jets and own a mansion that burns 5 times the national average of per household electricity? Shouldn’t people with huge carbon footprints keep their shoe out of the average American’s ass?

mdj will you’ll never learn… it’s about platitudes and change! we want change! this country needs change! and we need new socks, if Obama wins he’s going to give us each a new pair.

the more I think of Kevin’s latest video the more profound it becomes.
Kevin I believe you just expanded your audience from mere soccer moms and pert-ner yuppies to the good old fashion everything’s bigger and better in America. If it wasn’t so hard to get on the ballot across the US I’d bet my last dollar Jesse Venture could be president [click]

Thanks for this info jischinger. Maybe I will vote for Obama. I have holes in most of my socks.

save them, you can use them to make a puppet show on youtube

Is Nalts taking a position in opposition to Obama on energy?

“…how can we not take it a little personally?”, Kevin asks. Well, only if we identify with our SUV’s and overheated homes more than our obligation to set an example to the world on conservation.

If we are going to continue to consume the lions share of the worlds energy reserves and scoff at suggestions to compromise our own selfish comforts, America will continue to lose the moral authority to lead on energy conservation issues on the world stage.

12. jiashinger - May 26, 2008

Does the US have moral authority left?

we should use all the oil up now because in about 10 to 50 years we won’t need any of it

13. marquisdejolie - May 26, 2008

The Mayans say we have 4years to go.

14. jischinger - May 26, 2008

mdj - their calendar is off by 5 years we’ve hit the end already, haven’t you noticed?

got 46:40? [click]

15. marquisdejolie - May 26, 2008

The last few endtimes signs haven’t happened yet, but the majority have. We’re close. Very close.

16. jischinger - May 26, 2008

I’m certain that the clear cut sign of the end was when the secret societies publicly released Kevin’s real name. So you think Brian will do an end time video anytime soon? I can see it now, he’ll be vloging while driving the rapture will hit, poof! he’s gone, and the camera keeps rollin’…

17. marquisdejolie - May 26, 2008

The ‘rapture’ is undocumented hooey. But I can see Brian doing a collab with the two witnesses.

18. jischinger - May 26, 2008

yeah, but the rapture makes for great TV!
Witnesses?
You mean like Jehovahs?
Kevin’s making a vid with Prince?

19. marquisdejolie - May 26, 2008

He’ll have 3 and a half years of drought and blood plagues to organize it.
