I like the video and think the information it provided was somewhat decent. Although I don’t think reading off a script having the camera face an upper corner of your office is too exciting. However, some of his videos could be useful in the future.

Good info and comparisons. I feel that they did a nice job putting things at a level that a younger audiance can understand.

I think it gave some good info with nice comparisons for younger people.

I found the video very amusing, though I can't say I was laughing along with the hosts. I thought the propaganda in the background was a tad distracting. Some of the upcoming video blogs will probably be helpful when they start to review for the AP exam.

That was an interesting lineup. I liked the video and the fact that WE,the people, are the pinch hitter. It's so true because the people control who is elected in the world of politics. I'll tell you what though if thats me hitting I sure don't want to see Nancy Polosi waving me around third haha...

I think that they did a good job putting this together obviously not the highest quality but good information and that is all that really matters I suppose.

Oh wow, that was cheesy. But I guess it provided good information in a relevent way.

Addie said...

I think Alli makes a good point about the blatant Obama promoting in the back. Cute, but cheesy overall.

Thanks to that video I wow don't have to study for the A.P. exam because it told me everything I need to know! (Just kidding)

I thought the video was a great metaphor for the current administration. They way the information was presented was helpful to simplify who does what and who is who in the white house.

This video was pretty cool and had some good information. I thought it was overall clever and very easy to understand even if you don't know a lot about politics.

I agree with Jenny. That was VERY cheesy. Nonetheless it gave an insight to the world of politics and put it a way any person who has heard of baseball can understand. i think it was a little ironic thought about ho much they talked about centering things between the Republicans and Democrats while all they had in the background were Barack Obama posters...

Mr. Bretzmann said...

FYI: There is also a Mitt Romney poster in the background.

ummm wow...i think they temperarily killed baseball for me...but it was pretty good info, i think the umpire more fits the US people. i mean we deside whats good and bad and safe or out, or maybe we could be the manager...who knowsq?!?!? but good video overalll.

Sergeant K. said...

Well then I missed it because I only saw hope and change, and I know of only one person who has offered us that...

Honestly, it was Dumb(with a capitol D). It was laughable how cheesey and rediculous it was. I certainly hope their intended audience was second graders, yet even so, their foolish analogies mixed with names like Rahm Emanuel and Harry Reid were been way beyond comprehension for any young student. Really CBS at school? Barry, Barry good to me; Barry Obama? Short-stop to the recession? Painfully bad.

Good video, it defiantly gave a lot of good comparisons for students.
