"One Term More" (Re-elect Prez O) Amazing Les Miz adaptation by Hollywood & B'way pros

Please watch this. It's SO great and not from the campaign -- but driven by the fantastic talent. There's also a captioned/subtitled version at http://www.onetermmore.com/video_subtitles.html that explains why the video was produced and more. It's vimeo, though, and I don't know how to post that here.

But wish the link with captions worked - when they sing over one another, hard to make out the words.

Negative, negative comments on YouTube.

Stephen Colbert to come out of the crowd and shout out a high note or something.

Like that is something he would never do.

Because this is a war against the dark side..

(at least, I see little humanity on the other side..and a lot of authoritarian dogma)

this made my night!

I can't believe I forgot about his bullying and the haircut scene. And now it looks like he's hiding behind Ann Romney's skirts with the tax thing. What a wimp.
