Great Pro-Hillary Clinton Trailer on YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlATFrHhMQc

This video has been in the news quite a bit in the last few days up here in Canada.

Here's the background on it:

***Ont. teen's film adds momentum to Clinton campaign

Updated Mon. Jan. 21 2008 1:48 PM ET

CTV.ca News Staff

Lucas Baiano, a 19-year-old Toronto film student, used a 10-second meeting with Bill Clinton to pitch an idea which has now turned into a project that is drawing attention around the world.

The Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. native, who is studying film production at Seneca College, met Clinton just before Christmas at a meet-and-greet where the former U.S. president was promoting his new book.

He had memorized a one-minute speech to deliver to Clinton, but was told just before meeting him that he would only have 10 seconds.

He told CTV's Canada AM he quickly edited his pitch, quoting a line from Clinton's book, telling him that he had dual citizenship and explaining that he wanted to 'be part of history' by making a promotional video for Clinton's wife.

"Basically I said I read your book, I took a quote from his book saying the best thing a person gives is useful skill. I said I have a skill I can offer, I'm a film student studying in Toronto, dual citizen, and I truly believe your wife will be the next president of the United States. Is there any way I can be involved through the media aspect?" Baiano said.

Clinton then handed his personal business card to Baiano and gave him the chance to help, authorizing the Clinton campaign office to send Baiano six hours of raw footage of the presidential hopeful.

After a frenzied two-week rush of sleepless nights and long hours going through footage and making edits, Baiano came up with a slick, stylish, three-minute video that has Clinton's supporters around the world watching the video online, quickly boosting its status on the YouTube most-popular list.

The video promotes Clinton as the Democratic leadership candidate who will provide the most benefits to the U.S.'s burgeoning middle class.

Baiano, whose family has a history of supporting the Democrats -- his mother is American-born -- said he is confident about Clinton's chances of success and wanted to be involved in a campaign that he believes will make history as the first to successfully bring a woman to the White House.

"I can't vote because I'm dual but I thought I still want my voice to be heard and I want to help everyone else's voice be heard," he said.

"I'm passionate. I truly believe she will be the next president and she can bring everything she says she can bring, to the table."

Through his film company Lumiere Films, Baiano has completed a number of projects since he started the endeavour at 16, including a campaign for Ontario Travel, as well as a number of corporate jobs, and a film that is used by the United Nations to promote Holocaust awareness.***

3. Clintons as Bush enablers
After watching the fiasco in Nevada, it is obvious that America, for the most part, doesn't understand what is going on in their country now, as well as the last 25 years. It started with Bush Sr. up to the present, and will continue as long as a Clinton or Bush is in the White House. These two families are bad for America. If the Clintons were truly For the American people, Nafta wouldn't have happened. Drug companies wouldn't be able to advertise on television. They wouldn't have signed on for the war and keep votong for a continuation of that war. While all these bad things were happening, the Clintons were major players on the scene. Bill Clinton is best friends with Bush Sr. What does that say about him? about her? I don't see how you can be great friends with people and not share their views. I think they are complete and skillful liars. They will use Edwards message to get back in the White House and business will go on as usual. I keep mentioning them together because without Bill, Hillary would not be a senator or a candidate for President. I don't think she will win the election, and even if she does, things will continue as they are because she has been bought and paid for. If Edwards isn't the nominee, we will continue to have a Republican President, continue the war, continue the destruction of the middle class, no universal healthcare, increased crime, increased infant mortality. The Republicans are the party of Death and proud of it.
