I pledge video goes viral-Obama (Watch Video)


I pledge Obama video

I pledge Obama video is fast becoming one of the most talked about subjects in political circles . The video is being shown in some schools and right wingers feel it may be used during Obama speech to students and Obama address to school children . The right wing has grabbed this video featuring celebrities like Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher and used it as evidence of Obama's socialist agenda . Democrats say it's harmless and only served to promote unity and social responsibility . 

I felt the video was done with no ulterior motives and the socialist spin put on by right wing conservatives is a little over the top . The videos are cool and kids love them , so what's the big deal ?

    Is this for real? Are these celebrities that dumb to see what they are doing? Who the hell wants to pledge for OBAMA? Socialism will destroy the good old USA and First we pledge to him then he will be in control of everything...... Then you will see change from Socialism to Communism

    "I pledge to serve the president?" Heck no. "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Thats what I pledge to, not to some Communist-supporting, fake-birth-certificate, imbecile. My name is Jessica and I am a student who takes pride in what I believe in. Obama, is not it.

    Here's a thought: perhaps our most merciful president and his pay czar could limit the pay of Ms. Moore and all of the others in the video to $250,000 per year or less.

    So what's the big deal you ask? Replace Obama with Bush or Cheney. In fact, YOU could be the first to pledge to Bush, and your kids if you have any! Until then stop acting stupid about why we don't like marxist crap like this. Have you ever, in the past, pledged to ANY president? Why not, if you think it's such a great idea.

    I have a pledge to buy more guns and ammo and to restore my old gas guzzler sittin in the drive way. Wake up America before these socialist commies ruin our country as we know it. I heard about these pledges at work but I thought my fellow workers were just pulling my leg. As I sat here and heard it first hand I thought I was going to throw up.

    Just more distractions from their real agenda of manufactured man-made H1N1 virus and their plans to mandatory mass vaccinate the population with poison to kill alot of us off and control the population, take away our rights and be able to enslave us into their Socialistic idealism.

    Eileen, finally an intelligent comment.

    The position of anyone SERVING in government in a free society is to be a "PUBLIC SERVANT" not the other way around. Didn't President Lincoln say it so succinctly. Our government is supposed to be "By the People, For the People"...? I will never indenture myself as the servant of anyone. Not Barack, or any other American President. This is not about bottled water or driving less, it is about freedom from tyranny. Every tyrant in history has asked, or more often required, the people to stop serving the nation or the individual and to pledge loyalty and serve the tyrant.

    A question all should consider.

    Who was the last American President who created and displayed artwork of himself as propaganda?

    Others across the globe who have.... Mao, Saddam, Pol Pot, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler

    This is scary! Notice how those celebrities have the money to sell their cars to buy hybrids? I couldn't afford a hybrid even if I wanted one. Why do I want to pledge to a man who's wife spends our taxpaying money to give herself an enormous staff to do what one person should be able to accomplish? Why do I want to pledge to a man who wants to spread the wealth I make to those who sit on their butt's all day watching soap operas? If this video does not make you livid at what is happening in our country then something is wrong. Parents who are against this video should pull their children from school the day it is going to be viewed.

    I think we are getting on the right track here to rebuttal this communist B.S. I cannot believe people would actually think this is ok, I mean if he wants to push kids to try harder and stay in school great! Leave the politics at the door step though.
    I for one pledge to be as wasteful as I can and to cut down as many tress as possible.... especially where there are spotted owls. Save a logger eat an owl right? I pledge to undermine Obama at every turn and try to wake people up, I pledge to gather with my patriotic flag waving brother and sisters and spread the word, Progressive Nazi's F OFF!
    I think Stalin, Obama, Hitler, and Pol Pot use and used the same playbook. I pledge to do more than talk I pledge to act and do all I can to expose Obama as the predator he is.
    This has been brought to you by the Obama sux campaign, good day.

    The big deal is that we are watching along, enjoying these emotional hits from people whose faces we associate with delight or nobility - from the films, etc they have appeared in. We are agreeing with the homey and inspiring sound bytes. Some are truly wonderful "call myself and American, not an African-American" ... "change mySELF before I demand change in others". We're rolling along, the bandwagon of agreement and solidarity is picking up speed, and then it all gets funnelled into "serve President Obama". If I pull back & object, then I am objecting to all that good stuff, too !
    Plus, in America we do not serve the President, he serves US. He stands ALONGSIDE US, looking up at the ideals in the Constitution. "Serve our country"- yes. Help him to serve our country, fine. "Serve the Constitution"- good. "Serve the President"- no. We are citizens, not subjects.
    The Constitution carefully spells this out, in order to avoid sliding into a monarchy ... or a dictatorship.

    I now why Glenn Beck has been ranting and raving the last few months. It seems like what he (Beck) is talking about is happening to America and America is not waking up and smelling the coffee. To me, common sense is the key and Obama is not listening. So it is time for America to wake the hell up and stop kissing butt and see what is going on. Besides, Obama is not going to listen to public opinion and try to push the healthcare plan anyways. So, I say we vote to ban the speech from the schools and let the children are there to do and this is acutally learn sometihng that is well worth time than the speech.

    You just don't get it do you? It is not hard. Let me splain it to you Karen Harper.

    Do you believe any of those Hollywierdo's have cut off bottled water? Do you thing any of them don't flush the toilet after they do a #1 only? Do you think they have cut ANY of their travels?

    Answer those truthfully and you just may then comprehend why many of us thinking folks are fed up with the hypocrisy.
    When John Travolta talks about cutting the use of fossil fuels to stop global warming while he lives in a house he can taxi his 737 up to the front door. His smaller planes are in the back yard.

    Use the brain your God gave you.
