The Power of Editing

I recently came across a pretty interesting streamfile that co-opts a state of the union address from President Bush. It appears so real in fact that after showing the file to many of my friends, a number of them questioned if it was indeed real. After watching it for a while, the speech is so absurd that it there is no question it is not real. Nonetheless, everything from the voice to the gesture of Pres. Bush is so perfectly overdubbed, that you have to question its authenticity. I think that for many fairly objective people to question whether the file is real or not says something about the president and those who serve beside him in office today. The videoclip does play an influential role in questioning just what exactly this administration has done to the name of our country, whether you may feel it is good or bad. Check it out and post a reply to what you think of it if you have the time...
