We Are The Ones song by will.i.am - Obama

[@GMack]

The sentiment here is right on target. Our mistake is that we put them all onto one person, thinking he would be able to make the change that we want to see. We then sat back and watched. If you want to see the change, you will need to be there making it, not discussing it, not criticizing, but working for it. We need to stand for ourselves, together. We need to believe in ourselves and these ideals and put our faith into that, not any single person.

PRESIDENT Barrack Obama's message and belief is to help EVERY American and set the stage for our generation to make a difference!

[@lestmbly]

I realize that this video first made its appearance over 7 years ago... But what you see here and what this video promotes is what is known as "cult personality syndrome". What is cult personality syndrome you might ask? It is a societal aberration which is built up through media manipulation by way of propaganda (as is the case here in this music video). It gives someone the status of having godlike qualities or of that of being some sort of "messiah." Hitler gained a lot of his power by way of cult personality syndrome as did Mao, as did Stalin.. It's very unhealthy for society to go down this path and also very scary.. A narcissist such as Obama (a potential tyrant) love and sometimes help support this underserved adulation as do most tyrants. Thankfully throughout the years many people who exhibited cult personality syndrome have now come to their senses about this man and realize now that he is just that. But there are pockets left here and there where this fraud is still worshipped. BARRY OBAMA IS NOT GOD!
