Apparently Last night's video scared the bee-jeezuz out of 'em. He hates it when it his true philosophy leaks out. This time it took less than 12 hours. Obama Camp Disavows �Government Is The Only Thing That We All Belong To� Video
A video that aired Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention proclaiming that �government is the only thing that we all belong to� is getting strong reaction from conservatives, and the Obama campaign is disavowing involvement in the production, BuzzFeed reports.
The video, entitled �Welcome to Charlotte,� includes other proclamations like: �We do believe you can use government in a good way.�
Conservatives took to Twitter on Tuesday to denounce the video. Mitt Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul retorted: �Try again, gov�t belongs to us.� Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, had a one-word reaction to the video: �WOW.� Pundit David Gergen noted: �quote may set off the right.�
An Obama aide emailed BuzzFeed disavowing involvement in the video: �The video in question was produced and paid for by the host committee of the city of Charlotte. It�s neither an OFA nor a DNC video, despite what the Romney campaign is claiming. It's time for them to find a new target for their faux outrage."
The executive director of the host committee also said that the video was unaffiliated with both the campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

As I interpret this video, it means:
We may all belong to different churches and clubs, but participate in the same democratic processes and get to decide (i.e., vote) how it is run.
I think some folks are a little sensitive to undercurrents of perception.

There's an undercurrent of Obama Voter in THAT observation, methinks.

and in fairness I'd say you're correct and that is the intent of the video Denis
but politics long ago quit being about fair, or right or just.
we're in a sad state of affairs imo, 16 Trillion in "published" debt, not counting our unfunded liabilities, all so both sides could give away money they didn't earn and and incredible amount of money yet to be earned by working Americans (around 136 Trillion) to pander for votes and power and insider knowledge so that they may be secure in their own lives.
either side will twist the truth, distort facts by omission to try and gain an edge.
they're supposed to be leaders, but they truly are the scum of American society. Just look at the number of people they've enslaved to poor thinking via entitlement programs.
It really is choosing between lesser evils and for whatever reason while politically, often I find myself in disagreement with Romney I believe he's a man of better character than what we have serving currently.
You didn't build that indeed, I don't believe there's any mistaking what the perception is of that statement, he feels the fruits of our labor belong collectively to society.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

You need a better reason to vote for Romney?

nope I've got several, he has a good track record both at Bain and at SLC Olympics of going into difficult financial situations and cutting the dead wood and saving the bacon of whatever entity he's tasked with saving.
his resume of actually doing something is a damned sight more impressive to me than "organizing a community"
plus while I've not attended Mormon churches personally, I'm fairly certain they don't have many if any sermons "Damning America"
as an aside, who are the Fing idiots that elected this last clown?

Kind of wondering just who is the 'Host' Committee?
Guessing the 'media' is just not capable of reporting that, or didn't want too?
On the change of venue post, the link there mentioned community credentials. First I've have seen that, must be some kind of govspeak.
Whole lot of transparency here, that is not happening with DNC media coverage

If that's what he meant, he would have said 'the government belongs to all of us'. Nope, he sees the State as being all-powerful and all-controlling of everybody, so that's why he said 'we all belong to the government'.

If the govt owns us, it owns what we produce, and that makes us their slaves.

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

As pointed out by Clint Eastwood the other night politicians work for us. If they are not doing their job they should be fired.
