Fundamentalists' Biggest Enemy

Fundamentalism is the enemy of progress, whether it is social or political. A fundamentalist always looks backward, making himself totally disconnected from reality. Fundamentalism may come in religious or political tones, and is characterized by the contempt of freedom and the utter belief that they only hold the truth and that all other voices should be muted.

He's Barack Obama

A new video about the American president is creating a huge buzz on the Internet. It is an animated short movie by JibJab showing the president as an American super hero who can solve all the world's problems in a blink of an eye. This politically satirical clip was watched by the president himself in the 65th annual Radio and TV correspondents dinner in Washington.

It is arguable JibJab's best effort till this day. While the movie clearly pokes fun at the extreme optimism among some of President Obama's supporters throughout the world, whether you find it poking fun at the president himself or not will depend on your political preference. Or maybe it pokes fun at the USA!
