I was supremely irritated when TIME did NOT name Osama Bin Laden the 2001 Person Of The Year - on the same theory: this ISN'T an award, something to be proud of - necessarily. It CAN be, but the only true yardstick they have traditionally used (hence the Hitler cover) is "who has influenced history or the world the most this past year?" By any reasonable measure, in 2001, that would have had to be Osama Bin Laden.
This was your response when I asked if you are suggesting that Obama is like Hitler, as the video suggests. I find it to be not credible that a McCain supporter would post a video which says Obama is like Hitler and post it without any qualification, but would then deny that he or she is suggesting a connection between Obama and Hitler.
With respect, the suggestion that Obama like Hitler is disgusting smear politics. People have real problems to worry about, like our economy and broken foreign policy. This Obama is like Hitler smear is the kind of Republican unreality that got us into this mess.
I'll call any video about an American politician comparing him or her to Hitler muck, whether Democratic or Republican. I'll call the video you posted muck. If you think the Bush is Hitler video is muck, it just proves the point.
Do you think everyone at the time read that book, or many just "jumped on a bandwagon"? I notice many jumping on bandwagons with sports team, especially at playoff time. I wonder if many who support Obama are on a bandwagon and don't know what he is all about, ie uninformed voters, probably mostly the 18-20 age group because life is still all about them and what's cool, but I'm sure there are many older people who are uninformed, too.
Why would you even post this? It is so negative and implies that you think Obama is like Hitler. Kind of promotes hate don't you think? Isn't there enough negativity in the world already?

I am not being defensive.
Sorry, I meant "no such thing" not "so such thing."
I still don't think you get it.
You have a point.
"No, I didn't make the video."
