1. The song is cool but I have a problem with the video

What did Obama have to do with any of that?
Answer: Not a fucking thing.

[JackBeck]

2. I took it as a warning.

Don't become like them.

[Guava Jelly]

3. You could interpret that many ways.

The other candidate had more to do with all of that than Obama.
Not trying to flame.

[JackBeck]

5. No flames from me.

I watched the video 4 times over the last hour, checking my feelings about why Obama was included. He's the future, and is only referenced twice in the video; the second and final image is a woman shaking her ass in underwear with his name on the garment. I took it as: avoid the temptation to turn out like the rest of these guys.

On edit: interpretation brought to you by an English major (moi..."Violet Hill"...or "Violent Hill") and my bud who was Art History major (he lurves his visuals).

6. I watched it two more times.

The videos and events were all representative of the past, save a clip of Obama and his name on a girls ass.
It just rubbed me as a stab at Obama.
I would have thought differently if they included Sen Clinton as well.
Coldplay has the right to express their opinion's and I have the right to not agree with them.
But I honestly respect your opinion.

13. quick frankly, as an obama supporter i fucking hate "obama girl"

not only did i just think it was stupid and not entertaining, but i thought it was sexist and and offensive. i don't blame obama for that though, since he didn't put out the video.

as for this video, i didn't see it as a "stab" at obama at all, and am curious why you think that. (btw, they did include clinton).

I think they have two official versions:

10. as i understand it that version is just a viral video version

but the actual official video(and what will be played on TV) is the other one.

[JackBeck]

11. If that's the case

I'm glad that Coldplay has endorsed this version by featuring it on their website.

Unfortunate, like you said, it won't be played on TV because the truth hurts too many beautiful American minds.

[Ava]

12. yup, though i like the other video too, this one kicks its ass

wish it would be shown on TV too
