So THIS Is What They Were Doing For Obama The Other Day ...

MySpace Celebrity and Katalyst present The Presidential Pledge

This piece of self-important celebrity diatribe was directed by Demi Moore, produced by Ashton Kutcher and somehow roped in more than 50 stars to participate -- It's called The Presidential Pledge.

Demi asks us what our pledges are but I would ask her to pledge to use the in and out points on the Avid more efficiently, to understand the term - cutting room floor, to question why celebrities feel the need to school the public on how to live their lives, and finally, to stop trying to associate herself and other celebrities with the success of the incoming President of the US!!!



Does this video serve a purpose? Does it make YOU want to be a better person?

The incoming 2yr. junior Senator named Barak Hussein Obama has NO successes.

After 9/11, Bush kept America safe from another terrorist attack.
Now, we will see if Obama can match that achievement. By the way, if there is another domestic terror attack, you can bet Obama's "let's play nice" rules will quickly be forgotten as the American people demand they be protected!!! Sadly, it will be a very expensive part of his "on the job training."

In the event you are wondering where is Obama going to lead.
Obama will attempt to fix relations with the arabs. He will try to work treaties with them giving into their demands and bribing for safety to this country. All democrats will herald it as a great accomplishment of diplomacy. America will no longer be a super power. It will turn from getting involved in the affairs of the world. You probably have not thought about this or noticed but america is being bankrupted by Congress. Obama will be in office for 2 terms. It will be a long rough ride. They will get the USA back into the UN and call for an amerounion (Unification of Canada, Mexico and the USA). They will try to get America to abandon the constitution. Just like Nero looked on and play his lyre as Rome burned Obama will rejoice to sink the nation he hates come down .You wait and see.

Wow, x17! This is the first time you're right!
This is a little bit dramatic and absurd!

John F. Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," and Ronald Wilson Reagan said, "Government doesn't solve problems, government is the problem." We should never expect the government to do for us that which we are able to do for ourselves.
Obama should take THEIR advice.

I pledge to laugh more.

Frankly, Obama's past is littered with all sorts of questionable actions -- ranging from downright dumb to undoubtedly illegal. And the United States Justice Foundation -- your conservative voice in the courts since 1979 -- is going to bring Obama to account on each and every legal misstep.

You see during the Bill Clinton presidency, Judicial Watch, under Larry Klayman, dogged the Clintons -- whom he called the "Bonnie and Clyde of American politics" -- exposing their numerous misdeeds to American voters. But Klayman moved on, and the Clinton "co-presidency" ran its course.

And if the Clintons were "Bonnie and Clyde," Barack Obama is "Senator Jekyll and President Hyde."

Senator Obama campaigned for the presidency as a moderate, a uniter, a man seeking change. But we know, based on his past, he'll rule as a radical, left-wing, power hungry politician.

Now it's time for another watchdog group to serve as a check on Barack Obama's unbridled lust for power: the United States Justice Foundation.

USJF is fighting Obama in court right now, challenging his position as President-elect until and unless he provides a valid, original birth certificate proving he is a natural born citizen. And I need you to tell Mr. Obama that you want him to come clean -- right now -- or face legal action like he's never seen before in his life.

Because until Barack Obama releases his original birth certificate, USJF will challenge every action he takes as President, including executive orders and legislation he signs, because he will have stolen the election!

That's right . . . even if he's sworn into office on January 20, Barack Obama will not legally be President of the United States, unless he can prove he is a "natural born citizen."

What's more, every action taken by him while he occupies the White House would be invalid. And if he cannot legally be President, every law passed by Congress will be null and void because the Constitution clearly says all laws passed by Congress must be sent to the President . . . and without a legally elected and sworn in President in office, that becomes an impossibility.

For that reason, we will not allow even one action by Obama to go unchallenged!

The truth is, Obama's shady relationships are a warning of what he'll attempt to do as President. Just look at a few of his questionable acquaintances over the years:

Domestic terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn;
Racist pastor Jeremiah Wright;
Communist Frank Marshall Davis;
Militant Muslim politician Raila Odinga;
Anti-Semite Black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan;
Convicted money man Tony Rezko;
Former PLO activist Rashid Khalidi.
While these pals of Obama's may or may not physically walk through the doors of the Oval Office once he is sworn in, you can be sure their radical ideas will continue to have a great impact on his thinking and policies . . . policies that will affect every aspect of your life!

It is critical that the United States Justice Foundation be ready to battle the Obama agenda every time he makes a move. We must not allow even one of his radical moves to pass by without doing everything in our power to legally stop it.

And we know what to do and how to do it. USJF has battled Planned Parenthood for refusing to turn in child molesters; We've fought NAMBLA for encouraging pedophiles to rape young boys; We've taken on the "open borders" crowd who want to see America flooded with illegal aliens.

When Hillary Clinton was caught not reporting more than a million dollars in campaign donations during the 2000 election, it was USJF that handled a suit against both her and Bill Clinton.

We've worked to stop the globalist agenda of the United Nations, which seeks to end American sovereignty while pushing their "one world" philosophy. And we've fought to keep the UN from naming Bill Clinton as its Secretary-General.

Now we're compelled to attack Obama's extremist policies . . . not only because they're bad policy for America, but also because -- as a usurper occupying the position of President -- they are invalid! Not to mention his campaign fraud and illegal donations.

So when Obama fights to implement Islamic Sharia law in any form in the United States, USJF will sue.
If Obama succeeds in overturning the federal Defense of Marriage Act -- which currently protects individual states from being forced to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states -- USJF will sue.
When Obama signs on the dotted line to ratify the International Criminal Court -- usurping American sovereignty -- USJF will sue.
If Obama signs Freedom of Choice legislation -- which would overturn every federal and state law presently on the books that limit abortion in any way -- USJF will sue.
When Obama reinstates a ban on offshore drilling -- leaving the United States hostage to terror-supporting countries in the Middle East -- USJF will sue.
So when Barack Obama issues an executive order funding embryonic stem cell research, the United States Justice Foundation will sue.
And Obama's promise to fund overseas abortion will present the United States Justice Foundation with an opportunity to go after him on a constitutional issue since the Constitution clearly gives only the Legislature the ability to spend money.

You see, you and I must work together to root out government corruption . . . and that starts with Barack Obama.

Al Jazeera Signs Deal to Air Throughout U.S.
NEW YORK - The Al Jazeera Network plans to announce on Thursday that it has signed a deal to run its news on Worldfocus, a syndicated nightly news program produced in New York and distributed throughout the United States.


The deal would help the international news network, one of the top services in the Arabic-speaking world, broaden its reach in the United States, where it so far has been available to only a limited audience.


Worldfocus, hosted by former NBC News correspondent Martin Savidge, is produced by New York City public broadcaster WLIW and syndicated to a number of Public Broadcasting Service affiliates, as well as other stations in 60 U.S. markets, including 27 of the top 30.


Al Jazeera declined to disclose terms of the deal.


The service's Arabic-language network is available in the United States through the DISH Network Corp. It has been trying to increase the distribution of its English- language network through cable television, but so far is available only in Washington, D.C., Toledo, Ohio and Burlington, Vermont.

I hope any tax break will help you losers accomplish your goal. But by attacking the "rich" (perception) and businesses will not help you. As simply as I can put it, if the taxes are increased on businesses, we all will ultimately pay for it. Say that the tax on business goes up from 15% to 30%. The cost of goods produced has been increased. Business has to cover that additional cost to stay in business. Scenario: to cover the additional 15% in new expenses, they decide to reduce thair workforce to cover 8%. Then to cover the other 7%, they raise the price on the commodity. The consummer, you and I, pay eventually pay the tax in the cost of the product. To make matters worse, China's goods are unaffected by the additional US tax increase on US business... and China's cheap goods are beating the socks off of us as it is.... and we have more people out of work.
And you people voted this idiot into office ??? Be afraid. Be very afaid.

Anyone else think "Anonymous" is all the same person? Geez, put on your tin foil hats, because "they're" all out to get us!!

Why can't you at least give him a chance to do his job before judging his success or failure?

Shut up! X17!

I am so sick of celebrities preaching to the public. They have no idea what the real world is. How about each of them pledge to give half of their income to the needy in the United States? How about they pledge to live a life without the excesses? How about they pledge to stop jetting all over the world in their private planes? How about they donate proportional to what the "average Joe" gives? How about they stop telling the rest of us what to do?

THAT IS THE SCARIEST THING I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE!!

VERY SOCIALISTIC FEEL TO IT, ESPECIALLY THE END OF THE VIDEO!!!

This video is stupid, and has nothing what so ever to do with "their pledges" and more to do with their publicity. It would also be nice if these "artists" could come up with something other than random word clips of celebrities glued together to form slightly coherent sentences. Its been done, its no longer original, catchy, or interesting.
I do agree slightly with the message though: Americans need to stop blaming their president (who is only one man) for all of their problems and look more to themselves to make the changes.
The problem with Americans is they make stupid decisions and then feel entitled to the government coming and saving their asses. If you idiots didn't buy houses that were WAY more than you could afford, your housing market wouldn't have crashed, and you would still have money, jobs, and homes. Lenders have nothing to do with it, you stupid Americans think that it's their fault. Their just providing a service. It's your fault that you got greedy and accepted it.
I think that Obama will do a great job as President, but you idiots will find something to complain about because your so damn greedy nothing is ever enough for you.

Are the pledges more meaningful because they parade themselves in front of cameras? No, they'd be more meaningful if they were selfless pledges made only in their heart and minds. Can you say phoney baloney? Na na na na na, na na na na, na na. Na, na na na na....

Although I never agree with x17 and I like Demi and Ashton and no offense to them, this is one time I agree with you guys. Celebrities should stop these Obama adulations. This is a democracy and people decide how to live their lives themselves.



Posted by: Anonymous

Celebrities don't know anything, at all . Most of them don't even write scripts.
I don't envy Obama, bad time to be taking over particularly when eveyone thinks he's a black Jesus, I hope he does well. Some of the people commenting here think Obama hates the US, oh well, there are a lot nitwits in the world aren't there?

Barack Obama will require all Americans to serve:
Obama and Biden will expand AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps, engage retiring Americans, and set up an America's Voice Initiative to send Americans who are fluent speakers of local languages to expand our public diplomacy.
Integrate service into learning:
Obama and Biden will set a goal that all middle and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year, and will establish a new tax credit that is worth $4,000 a year in exchange for 100 hours of public service a year.
Invest in the nonprofit sector:
Obama and Biden will create a Social Investment Fund Network to use federal seed money to leverage private sector funding. They will create an agency dedicated to building the capacity and effectiveness of the nonprofit sector.
We are individuals who are free to choose, not shackled by the constraints forced upon us by government like that of the former Soviet Union or communist China.

Bye bye America !
