I always find things like this interesting. (let's face it, you see things like this on both sides.) But if people are looking are actually facts on policies, they should look to the people themselves, not someone who is mixing things that are entirely true with things that are not true. (I totally hope I'm not offending anyone.) The one comment that did bother me was the comment on education. Yes, there are problems, but we are a country that offers a free education to everyone. If you are willing to work hard to succeed, you can. There aren't many other countries out there that are willing to provide these kinds of opportunities to everyone from the rich down to the very poor. There are many success stories of people being raised in very poor, underfunded areas who have risen above it all and accomplished their educational goals. (can you tell I have a background in public education? :))
Iva- I totally agree that people need to look at the facts and the candidates when determining who to vote for. I have done that and this guy talks about most (though not all) of the things that bother me about Obama. I think he does it very well and by using facts (none of those dumb rumors of him being Muslim and a terrorist and such).
Education is not one of the topics I have been following very much in this campaign (I do think it's important, I just haven't studied it much yet). I'm not exactly sure what weneedmccain was referring to in the 2nd video, but another blog I follow (because I've found they can eloquently state everything I've been thinking, along with posting information- facts- I didn't know) talks about Obama and education: http://rushbabies.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/issues/. Maybe this is why weneedmccain doesn't trust Obama when it comes to education.

Interesting
I love these videos. Maybe those that are on the fence will see the facts. They are scary.
