Poll
Question: Is this funny?
Option 1: Yes
Option 2: No and how dare you insult the liberal Messiah
Option 3: Oh my god, Obama worships the devil
Title: What does "Yes we can" really mean

Here is a funny video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqALdkTArqs).  


Please, Obama worshippers don't take this too serious and throw a tantrum.
Please, Barack bashers don't believe in a hidden message.


I pity those who don't answer "Yes".

He wants our entire country to become this (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=theonion&annotation_id=annotation_594763&feature=iv#p/c/869F1FBA218EB2B2/0/c3_95F5e-Ac).

EDIT:So irratating that the president can't even deal with it is normal.

Heh, what people can't come up with when they're bored and fooling around with video!
Creative though!

Come on, no one really believes he is secretly thanking the Devil (maybe Glenn Beck).  It is funny, so laugh.

Well, im2smart4u: you can add another option to the poll, to make it fair- a no answer on the basis of not liking this type of humour.

Otherwise- this is clearly intended for comic purposes and I see no reason why anyone should take offence (if there is a healthy relationship towards the subject of the joke, that is).

You know what's wrong with this? The comments. The video is a fair jab at humor and fairly creative. Some of the people it churns out of the woodwork scare me...

What if my answer to the survey is more along the lines of no, because it would be mean to say anyone worships the devil who doesn't, not because of who the person is. That isn't an answer so what should I choose?

I think you want to answer "no" for the sake of being argumentative about a video that makes fun of Obama or you really don't have a sense of humor.

If the video seriously claims that Obama worships the devil then it wouldn't be very funny.  The combination of the silly play on words and the ridiculous claim of presidential devil-worshipping is what makes the video funny.

You know if you actually play it backwards it doesn't sound like it. Someone had to be smart enough to mess with the audio a little.

Hmmm... while if you think about it it seems right, TAFKaTastidian has a good point.
