Any thoughts on this Video?

I could not get my computer to play it but if it is something about some reputed links to terrorists, drug use as a college student or his former pastor I think I can answer your question. At the moment people do not care about those kind of things. Most voters are too frightened by the economic situation the country and its citizens are facing to pay any attention to some atack video about Barack Obama. Over the past few months, millions of people have seen the loss of huge amounts of the wealth they had accumulated in the value of their homes and 401K plans, that they counted on for a comfortable retirement or their childrens' education, vanish with the prospect of more losses to come. They see very hard economic times ahead and if they lose their jobs and health coverage they have little prospect of ever recouping their losses. These people are also scared that there seems to be no end to this crises in site, the government appears powerless to do anything about it, and they will lose what little they have left. Personally, even though I have only a small portion of my total wealth in the stock market I have lost thousands of dollars over the past month and am not happy about it. As a retired Foreign Service Officer I get a generous inflation adjusted pension from the U.S. Government but I know many people who were counting on stock laden 401Ks for retirement and they are terrified for their futures.
Fair or not, most of these people blame the incompetence, if not malfeasance, of the Republican Administration we have had for the past 8 years for this situation. To them McCain, if elected, will continue to lead us on the same disastrous path that Bush already has us on and therefore offers no hope that things will get better. It is true that Obama is very much an unknown quantity and many people realize there is risk in electing him President but things have reached a point where much of the electorate is willing to take a chance and give Obama an opportunity to try to reverse this on-going calamity. Therefore, unless your video contains some compelling and credible information that Obama can not do a better job in dealing with our economic crisis than McCain, I doubt that many people, for good reason, are going to have any interest in it.
Most people probably want to vote for McCain more than they want to vote for Obama and all McCain has to do to win this election is convince the country that he has a better economic plan than Obama does. So far McCain has failed to make the case he would be the better choice to fix the economy and that is why he is behind in the polls. If Obama wins it will be because the voters are currently afraid and trust him more than McCain to lead the country back to prosperity. No video on youtube is going to change that fundamental reality.
Yet Another Good Reason Not To Vote For Obama
