You are right. There is not enough time in the day to address all of this BS.

Great analysis.

Every day businessmen donate to charity. We are Bedford Falls and Obama wants to stomp us out.

Kool-aid syndrome.

The idea that Obama resembles in any way; the CHARACTER of Mr. Smith; would have Jimmy Stewart 'rolling'. . .

Obama is the absolute, total antithesis of 'Mr. Smith'. People like Valerie Jarrett, Rahm Emmanuel, Dave Axelrod, Bill Ayers; Rev. Wright; Louis Farrakhan; Jesse Jackson, Tony Rezko; would NEVER be considered 'friends'- of Mr. Smith. And of course; Obama did not arrive in Washington to 'restore' virtue; but rather to eradicate any and all vestiges of. . .and recreate America in a craven image - his own that is; and that of his ideological mentors. (We know who they are; and there are no American 'Greats' or Presidents in the lineup.)

Perhaps, Burns should read Tolkien instead. 0r, reread with 'new' eyes. Would that he could of course. This kool-aid renders people 'blind' to moral realities.

More than a student of American history, I am also the father of four daughters.

No... you're not a student of American history. Your ill-conceived support of Obama proves it. You're just an idiot who is fortunate to have four daughters only because reproducing is innate.

Ken Burns, the reason why President Obama is rapidly falling in the polls is the fact Americans do NOT want to be a European-style socialist country. Ask why Spain, Portgual, Italy and Greece are heading for financial ruin, and why France may be headed that way with President François Hollande's highly ill-advised policies.

Throughout our history right from the very start, Americans have always held a skeptical view of government. The failure of Communism (China learned from the lessons of the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution) and the impending failure of western European socialism is proof the American view is completely correct.

I do not know of That college
I refused to let my 3 boys to go AWAY to school. Too much brain washing going on

Lots of good education to be had at local state schools. And cheaper too

Isn't Ken Burns dating Big Bird, and shouldn't he disclose this fact? Actually, I think the real reason he is supporting Barack Obama is because the alternative would be to admit he has absolutely terrible judgment.

Are we to base our vote on some sentimental (and admittedly touching) fantasy? Gimme a break! Why not base our vote on the How the Grinch Stole Christmas, or Goldilocks and the Three Bears? "My what big teeth you have, President Obama!"

He wants to be able to make his silly mockumentaries about the New World Depression. He thinks he can immortalize himself with sad pictures of starving people.

A documentary film maker, whose projects are funded almost exclusively by the American taxpayer, endorsing The King of Wealth Redistribution. What a surprise.

The comments at the Manchester Union are priceless, and worth taking a look at.

Mr. Burns is getting an ear full!
