    Matchbox 20 Video Promoting Democrats

    Matchbox 20's recent song "How Far We've Come" is catchy and enjoyable.

    I checked out You Tube to see the video and the video shows a lot of video of important events that have gone on over the decades such as Tiananmen Square, the Berlin Wall, JFK, various aspects of the space program, etc.

    However, towards the end, it starts showing Bill Clinton with the famous "Israel/Palestine" handshake, but instead showing Bill's shake with Arafat. Then it shows Al Gore at Live Earth, as if that was one of the big stories of the century. Then at the very end they show clips of Hillary and Obama.

    It's certainly not a huge deal, but I do see it as a slight propaganda move to show us these serious events of our recent history and then to imply or associate these more recent people as being in relation to or of the same importance. IT disappoints me that the younger, easily influenced people will correlate the two.
