it's completely ridiculous and there are hundreds of videos just like these, all making fun of some aspect of politics. you're probably asking yourself how these videos come into existence and for what reason. it's because many people out there (like myself) have little interest in politics, but instead are much more interested in parodying politicians and politics. i think this is because so much of today's youth is indifferent to almost everything, they are aware that politics affect them and how they live there lives but they just don't care; if today's youth was raised to be more outspoken and proactive, this would not be the case. we would have a much more youth-oriented government and they would be much better represented. but until then, the internet is full of videos like that made by uninterested youth, especially youtube.

You're right. I think your generation (and mine, really) haven't had to sacrifice much in our lives. Even the wars we've fought have been so removed and sanitized. How exactly are we sacrificing for the Iraq war?
Very valid point. We do spend much time ridiculing politicians. They are important people with prestigious positions. Yet, we live in a country that doesn't seem to care about that. We are, in many respects, willfully ignorant. So, as a counterargument, I say this: Anything that can get America interested in politics is a valid way to engage an apathetic youth and public.
