Hilarious! Also a great argument against democracy.

haha, the two ladies thought he was saying kenyan.

In States a fresh law is looked upon as a remedy for evil. Instead of themselves altering what is bad, people begin by demanding a law to alter it. ... In short, a law everywhere and for everything!

His gestures and microphone movement from 0:40 to 0:56 are absolutely hilarious.

If I wrote it more than a few weeks ago, I probably hate it by now.

I like the guys who say it doesn't matter (ever heard of article 2 section 1 clause 3?). I wonder it they would say it doesn't matter if the government doesn't follow the fifth amendment either?

How does that one guy at the end don't know what his "economic policies" are but yet, know who Keynes is?

Saw it earlier at the Ron Paul forums. Definitely hilarious.

Pfffft - I would have preferred the sign asking "GWB = Keynesian?" on the reverse side.

Then all the people at the rally would think it was a parody sign playing off the belief that Obama is from Kenya, yet not realizing it was actually a scathing commentary on the fact that - economically speaking - GWB and Obama are very similar.

Doesn't being a Keynesian involve actually understanding the arguments?

That would have prevented them from getting the reactions that they were looking for.
