Lampoons Obama-Pelosi Socialist Agenda. A lot of good points here.
I Want Your Money trailer…Set against the backdrop of today’s headline – 67% of Americans don’t approve of Obama’s economic policies, the film takes a provocative look at our deeply depressed economy using the words and actions of Presidents Reagan and Obama and shows the marked contrast between Reaganomics and Obamanomics. The film contrasts two views of the role that the federal government should play in our daily lives using the words and actions of Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama. Two versions of the American dream now stand in sharp contrast. One views the money you earned as yours and best allocated by you; the other believes that the elite in Washington know how to best allocate your wealth. One champions the traditional American dream, which has played out millions of times through generations of Americans, of improving one’s lot in life and even daring to dream and build big. The other holds that there is no end to the “good” the government can do by taking and spending other peoples’ money in an ever-burgeoning list of programs. The documentary film I Want Your Money exposes the high cost in lost freedom and in lost opportunity to support a Leviathan-like bureaucratic state.
I don’t really know how accurate this is, but it all seems pretty believable.

This goes as far back as the 1950′s (Lone Ranger, I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, Perry Mason, etc..) to many TV shows.
TV is by far the most fascinating invention in the history of planet Earth. It allows people to sit on pieces of furniture for hours at a time and watch other people pretending to be other people. It is widely-considered the main source of entertainment for the human race and a useful parenting tool as well. In the early days of television, the intro was considered a key component to the essence of a television show and many of them we’re better than the shows themselves. These days every show starts with somebody saying “previously” followed by a series of scenes from previous epsiodes of that show. Personally, I liked it better the old-fashioned way.
