If true, this is… interesting. Since it comes from Whirled Nuts Daily, the likelihood of it being accurate is questionable. But if true, it’s a headscratcher.
The man who created two phenomenally successful “We The People” YouTube videos urging Americans to stand up against Congress and reclaim their republic now – or perhaps lose it forever – reportedly has been summoned to the White House by President Obama to discuss the subject matter of the short films.
Bob Basso, who posts videos under the name funbobbasso on YouTube, has created videos in which he portrays Thomas Paine, author of the “Common Sense” pamphlet that made the case for independence during the American Revolution.
His videos are certainly non-Obamist. Here and Here.
I would suggest that Basso make damn sure that he’s got cameras recording the whole time. Is there going to be some sort of mysterious transformation of Mr. Basso between the time he enters and the time he leaves? Or is this yet another example of 0bamas inexperience, setting himself up for trouble?
I certainly hope not the former. Clearly, 0bama’s at least part hypnotoad. How else to explain the armies of Obots?
Hopenotoad?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Or more likely, a briefcase full of money much like three Republicans got so they’d vote for the “Stimulus” package. 😉
I can see this going a third way — not bad, and not necessarily good.
The man is going there by himself. I’ve seen one of his videos, and I agree with most if not all with what he has to say. He certainly is passionate about the subject matter at hand, but this is a guy who is going to invariably represent the rest of us when it comes to these views.
Already, I’ve seen a few instances where his video and his person has been viciously attacked by those who hold differing points of view. While the administration may not partake in overt forms of personal attacks, you can be sure that with his wizards and magicians, Obama could level this guy. Then he would turn a blind eye as the press tears him apart limb from limb. All the while, as an ambassador to common sense, he and his ethos would be entirely invalidated.
And this is the important part — where he could either sink and take his ideology with him, or through personal genius, use the situation to expose the hatemongers for who they are.
It’s an incredibly risky operation, one where success dances, nay cartwheels on the razor’s edge. This will be incredible to watch play out.
And as I ponder further, there’s the chance (I see this one being far more likely) that any published media completely and entirely ignores the entire thing, and in the annals of history, there will be a mysterious half-day missing in the Great O’s legacy.
