For those of us not able to youtube and who don't watch those douchebags on TV, which lie is he being called out for?

[MacKlingon]

The video didn't say that he was being called out on any of his lies.

[sage]

Oh. Now it makes sense.

[heller]

All of them!

[Federal Man]

So what? We Feds are allowed to lie to you. It is you who we imprison for lying to us - just ask Martha Stewart.

We lie to you - get over it.

The video is busting the Obama myths on health care promises and campaign promises....the campaign stuff seems to focus on his promises to cut deficits.

[Gabe E]

This is fucking embarrassing.

[Yonemoto]

agreed. And usually I like reason.tv's stuff.

[Bramblyspam]

Would the people behind Mythbusters agree that this clip accurately represents what the show will be about? I rather seriously doubt it.

If it doesn't, then yes, this is a real embarrassment. Surely there's room to legitimately criticize Obama, without resorting to cheap fakery.

No, there's not. And don't call me Shirley.

[Tristan Band]

Sure there is.

[The Ghost of Leslie Nielsen]

Don't call me sir, either. It makes me feel old.

[O The Bama]

+5 and +2

[DJK]

That was Peter Graves. No?

[Ska]

So is Gillespie wearing a beret or something?

[Wind Rider]

And he's growing a walrus stache, as we speak.

[Nipplemancer]

The Jacket has a contract that prevents Gillespie from growing a soup-strainer.

[Colonel_Angus]

Stupid.

[Realist]

Obama is a bag of shit with big ears.

[sage]

That's not a myth.

[bagoh20]

His ears aren't that big.

[Aging Hippie]

But it's really great shit!

[Chong]

Hey man, I think you want the next article.

[hmm]

It's not that bad.

Haters gonna hate.

[Hater]

Word.

[COINTELPRO]

Not their best work IMHO. It's like something a republican pundit would make, not ReasonTV.

[smz]

agreed. ho-hum.

[Tristan Band]

Well, Reason ALWAYS did appeal to the right-wing end the movement.

[Tristan Band]

Well, Reason ALWAYS did appeal to the right-wing end the movement.

[hmm]

By advertising on MSNBC and having the staff write on left blogs.

Perspective, it can be a bitch sometimes.

[joshua corning]

You must be new here.

Welcome to reason...the lefts right wing and the rights left wing.

Once again today you prove why the left right political spectrum is only good at officiating political differences.

[Arlen Spector]

The right didn't leave me, I left the right. But, right when the right left me, the left left also. So what was I to do but fight the right and the left in hopes that the not-so-right and not-so-left wouldn't leave me and put me right back with the left.

[Kevin]

Well done! ; )

[Paul]

It made more sense the first time.

[James]

Mythbusters is still on the air? I thought it was cancelled a while back.

Jumped the shark a while back, at least.

[Yup]

I know, I was surprised also, when they started using Bevis and Butthead and the chick whose only talent seem to be shouting "5...4...3...2...1!" at the top of their longs, I stopped watching.
Those two scare the hell out of me any time they are around firearms.

[Ska]

If that's her only talent then you're not watching her in action.

[Tulpa]

Maybe he's talking about that blonde skank who subbed for Kari while she was preggers.

[hmm]

Jessi Combs?

Dude, any chick that looks like that, likes cars, and can fucking weld is awesome.

[Mainer]

The first time I saw her, I said someday, I'm gonna marry that gal.

[Cyto]

She can shout at the top of my longs anytime....

[Wind Rider]

I seriously doubt Jaime and Adam are gonna get Skippy to stand in for Buster. . .

[Wind Rider]

otoh, Jaime and Adam do have more credibility than Stephen Chu and Lisa Jackson, combined.

He entertains himself watching Kari's tits while thinking of yet another fraternity stunt against the US economy.

I thought I was dying, couldn't reach my pills, was writing up my last will and testament... then I saw your link and my heart started up again!

[Jerry]

Are they going to let him walk on water?

[Peenchy]

Chocolate Jesus doesn't walk on water - he walks on defunct dollar bills.

[Bucky]

i thought he was out kiting T-Bills?

[Michelle]

He will be swaggering on water!

[Alan Vanneman]

Where is Adam Carolla, now when "Reason" so desperately needs him?

[Ryan]

I generally like Reason.tv, but this kind of cheesy shit belongs on Glenn Beck or something.

[Tristan Band]

This is embarrassing. I went to Mythbusters; they're retesting the Archimedes Solar Ray myth, with more manpower-basically, as a fans request.

[hmm]

But it has 100% more Obama this time!

[Jason]

Are they using the radiance of Obama instead of the sun light?

[joshua corning]

After their bullshit greenhouse gas demonstrations it is nice they are at least non-partisan on facts about health care and deficits.

[joshua corning]

I am beginning to think the real Mythbusters are not going to bust Obama on health care, Deficits and the GM bail out this Wednesday.

[The Real Barry O]

Let me be clear, after this appearance, buster will be filling in for me.

[Jonathan Shay]

I agree. This is just lame.

[online shiroi neko]

Agree

[the nuckle]

Obama just busted the myth that the bailouts were bad for the economy. Citigroup reportedly has made a 12 billion profit. Check it out, suckers:

Is there a Threadbusters? 'Cause this one is laaaaaaaame.

[Steve]

Well, I like the show, and I like this clever spoof. You could make the clip longer... plenty of Obama myths to mention.

[William]

Wow, lawsuit anyone? That was stupid AND illegal as hell. What are you people thinking? THIS is news?

[Kevin Durant Shoes]

so perfect

[justin holt]

MythBusters is great informative series. Lot of new experiments can be seen and at the same time this show make us laugh.

[wubai]

How about mbt kisumu sandals this one: there are X driving deaths a year- what % of driving deaths (or serious injuries) involve alcohol, or other intoxicating substances? kisumu 2 People are pretty darn good drivers when they are not impaired.

[jiusuan]

good
