The Most Devastating Anti-Obama Election Video of 2012? You Decide

Conservatism Is Calling YouTube Video Reviews President Obamas First Term

A scathing video review of President Barack Obama’s first term is sweeping the internet less than two days before the most important presidential election in a generation. The video, titled “Conservatism Is Calling,” outlines Obama’s broken promise to bring “hope and change” to Washington D.C.

Hollywood director Chris Corrado told TheBlaze in an email that he is the creator of the video.

The video, which currently has more than 500,000 views on YouTube, also highlights a number of Obama’s empty pledges he made on the campaign trail in 2008. Obama can be seen promising to “fundamentally transform the United States of America,” pledging to cut the federal deficit in half, fix the economy and reign in unemployment in his first term. While he did make good on his promise to “transform” the nation, it wasn’t in the way that many had hoped.

He called the Bush administration “unpatriotic” for running up massive annual deficits. However, as the YouTube video points out, Obama’s deficit at $1.3 trillion in 2012 alone was more than four years under former President George W. Bush combined. The video also indicates that Obama missed his pledge to cut the deficit in half by 500 percent.

“$500 billion per year, irresponsible, unpatriotic,” the video proclaims, referring to the Bush administration. “$1.25T per year — unacceptable.”

“This must stop,” the video states. “The money will run out. Like it has in Italy. Like it has in Greece. Like it has in Spain. Like it has in France.”

The video blasts Obama for playing more than 100 rounds of golf, which at four hours per round, equals roughly 10 work weeks — “Just for golf.” Meanwhile, the American people continue to struggle in the “worst economy since the Great Depression.”

“Obama is a problem. But he is not the problem,” the video states. “The problem is Statism, which seeks to cure society’s ills by taking money from the private sector and giving it an inefficient government that never stops spending.”

For Americans who think that government doesn’t spend, regulate, tax or take enough, the video encourages them to move the country “forward” with Obama, because that’s what another Obama administration would mean.

For everyone else, “conservatism is calling.”

“Join us,” the videos proclaims. “We have the winning argument.”

Corrado, who posted the video under the YouTube username TheVisualEdge, says in the video description that he was not paid by anyone to make the video, he just wanted to get people excited to vote on Election Day.

Did it work?

A great and moving video. As I watch this video I can’t help but think and put in perspective how much Romney reminds me of that Great President Reagan. I truly feel that he can and will help change the course in which we are on. As someone said there is going to be a whole lot of work but we can do it. We have done it before and I am ready to do it again.

  I have ZERO doubt that Mitt will slow down the speed of our destruction but I do not believe he CAN stop it. Obama has ensured our dollar will crash. I don’t see what Mitt can do to stop it and the left in 4 years will blame him for it. He will get my vote and my prayers on the chance that we still have hope as a nation.

  The election of Mitt Romney to POTUS tomorrow will be like flipping on the switch of the economy. November 2nd 2008 was like turning off the ignition and throwing the keys out the window. They are two totally different ideologies. Romney will help to bring life back to this country and make us the most powerful nation in the world again instead of the floor mat to the UN.

  This is it folks, the day of reckoning is upon us. I am pumped and ready send Obama to his new home in Hawaii. Let him write his Marxist books and feed them to the progressives. Our new Independence Day starts tomorrow! God bless America, and God bless the great people in this country who appreciate freedom and liberty and won’t sell their souls for a government handout. Be true to us President Romney, and we will support you during your eight years in office.

  I hope everyone understands that we not only need to NOT spend more than we TAX ourselves but that we SPEND less and pay off the DEBT only (17 Trillion)… This is going to be brutal and not pain free… The question is are we going to be able to count on all AMERICANS to pitch in and help… Or will those accustomed to sitting on the couch, eating chips, watching reality shows, and using their EBT card, stay and expect more of the same… Oh how about the Obamaphone recipients???

  With respect to those who would consider it a compromise, in order to reach out to those who have not embraced conservatism I would not have used the images/names of Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. While these people do express conservatism, they are also lightning-rods in the political realm. I would have used only historic conservative figures like Reagan, Thatcher, etc. Other than that it’s a very good video.

  In our town here in S. Oklahoma while hitting garage sales we saw 3 homes in a town of 15,000 with Obama signs in their yards. My whole family including my 3 daughter in-laws are all registered Democrats and fell for Hope & Change. I consider us all smart Democrats and we learned our lesns and will vote for a correction of our mistakes.

  Fantastic short. And yes, electing Mitt is only the first step in our journey of a thousand miles. We are faced with massive problems, but I am totally convinced that working together, and aided by the Protection of Divine Providence, we can turn the country around so quickly, it will be clear to the world that it is, without doubt, a modern miracle.

  I agree. Mitt can turn it around. Mitt is a fixer. My congressman sits on the House Ways and Means committee. He says our national debt now is proportionally like it was at the end of WWII, so it is not too late if we fix it now, but if we wait, it will be too late.

  I thought the same. Orrin Hatch referred to us a “radical libertarians” that aren’t conservatives, and that he would like to “punch in the mouth”. I’ve never voted Libertarian in my life. I’m a constitutional conservative, and I vote that way consistently. That’s why I can’t stomach more of Hatch. In this election, I (early) voted for the Constitution Party Senate candidate. I voted nearly straight ticket GOP for the rest of the ballot.

  Everytime, anytime, ALWAYS vote to oust the liberal everywhere.
  (did you hear me Gary Johnson & Ron Paul supportors????)
  No matter the choice, always pick the lesser of two evils.
  Protest vote are foolish. Worse case, there is always a lesser of two evils.

  Its important we win the Senate in 2012. We’ll need control of both the executive and legislative branches of government to clean up the utter destruction the commie in chief has put in place.
  It will be important also for future replacements on the Supreme Court.

Ok you want to know what romney did ? I sent him a book i write spiritual poetry and i thought i will send this one cuz it is my mom’s favorite one it was lays the stillness in god’s hand i did it 5 days before he was to debate with obummer and on a card i put romney we love you and wish you good luck and 4 days before the debate i got a letter in the mail it was from romney he personally wrote me a letter saying thank you for thinking of me me and ann appreciate your gift etc and he signed it himself . I just wanted to tell this about him because with all that he had on his plate he took the time to thank me made me just as important . Even though he was busy with a debate he thought of me . He is going to be an exciting man to get to know if he wins . There it is an important guy and he didn’t leave me behind . :) http://www.Godandspirit.Com

Nothing else need be said in support of our cause……. and what the hell is waiting for us on the other side if Obummer get’s another term….. is going to be hell on earth…. end of times kinda of shi*…..

Great video – too bad it is just circulating. I love to hear Reagan and surprisingly Romney’s speech in Colorado and Ohio over the weekend reminded me of him. As President he will be one I will be proud of and feel safe in knowing he loves America.

  I just finished watching it again. I am in awe of Chris Corrado.
  
  Chris, if you read this, I just want you to know that YOU DA MAN! This video is so concise and absolutely DAMNING of the current status quo, it makes me want to stand up and cheer.
  
  The quote from Liberty & Tyranny in Levin’s own words, Reagan’s quotes in HIS own words, the graphics breaking down the out of control government – it’s all just so perfect. I am jealous of your talent for saying so much that MUST be said, in so few minutes.
  
  In my opinion, Conservatives everywhere owe you a great debt of gratitude for speaking our minds so eloquently.
  
  Thank you, Chris.
  
  Yours Truly,
  America

  @AndySchmandy
  Only 2 possible reasons it didn’t.
  
  (#1) The Republican elites are not conservatives also, or (#2) they are afraid to speak the truth of what they believe out of fear of their inability to articulate and defend it to independents. I tend to believe #1 carries more weight. Just look at how they oppose true tea party conservatives. They have some other agenda, and I’m not sure what it is, but I’ve read plenty of what it appears to be.
