Google Mis-Labels My Pro-Bush Video

A month ago, I submitted a video I recorded. It is a magic trick I do. In it, I take a nickel, cover it, and it turns into a penny. I cover it again and it turns into a dime.
Here is the dialog I submitted: "This video tells that if you are allowed to invest Social Security into investments, for every nickel you pay in, you will receive a dime instead of the penny that the current Social Security plan will pay you at retirement."
Here is what they put: "This video tells that if you are allowed to invest Social Security into investments, for every nickel you pay in, you will receive the penny that the current Social Security plan will pay you at retirement."
TOPICS: Business/Economy; Government; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: google; magic; socialsecurity
Not only do they call Bush a failure, but can't even allow a video of a magic trick that supports a Bush plan.
It makes me mad. Unfortunately, when I recorded it, I did not add sound. Had I added dialogue, I would not have been so disappointed.

You'll not get objectivity from google. They invest heavily in liberal democrat politics.

They are a bunch of leftists, I have a page on my website about space battleships and it generates google ads about "peace".

Can you pull it and resubmit it? If you can maybe they'll get it right the second time around. But take a snapshot of your submit page before you submit it. If they do this again and you've got a snapshot of it and can prove they are up to no good you could call them on it.

Download.com has started taking videos. But I think it's just for music. I could be wrong though.

The miserable failure thing was the result of a
'google bomb'. In short, it happened as a result of a group of people manipulating page rank by posting the link on many webpages, some of which were themselves highly ranked. That resulted in google's (automated) page rank process in highly associating the words 'miserable failure' with the linked page, Bush's bio.

Why did they resize it out of focus?
It's not a very good video platform.

They resize it to save space. Also, the original video was filmed 640x480. Also, if you resize the window, it will resize the window.
