Barack Obama in "Clear and Present Danger"

Under discussion:
YouTube user Flineo re-edits the movie trailer for the 1994 political thriller Clear and Present Danger, re-casting Sen. Barack Obama as the enemy of the "enemy from within," given his associations with William Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, Malik Zulu Shabazz, Tony Rezko, and Saul Alinsk.




This is a more overt example of the way race is operating negatively in the race. It certainly is an attempt to use comments from individuals connected to (sometimes very loosely) to Sen. Obama to make whites uneasy about the prospect of an Obama presidency.

Although I'm generally a fan of Flineo's videos, and believe the topics covered will certainly be a part of any Republican strategy in the fall, I prefer those YouTube videos which call out Sen. Obama on his real shortcomings, and not faults imagined or created.
