The Message Is Real Enough


I'm fascinated by this well-edited piece of footage from one of the 2004 presidential debates. There's something inaccessibly profound within this video, and every time I watch it I can't help but have this semi-emotional reaction (especially when the music swells), a reaction that is likely linked to the political realities of our American society over the past six years...it's something along the lines of sadness mixed with laughter mixed with anger mixed with hope. Very strange to have this sort of reaction to some random YouTube video. Kudos.
