George Orwell defined doublethink as "the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
When it comes to war, spending, and more, President Barack Obama's 2010 State of the Union address showed that doublethink is alive and well in Washington, D.C.
Approximately two minutes.

An added and unforeseen bonus from the Census is the fact that they have been doing it since the late 1700s and much of those records are publicly available, so if you are researching your families genealogical heritage it is a great way to track down your living and deceased family members.

Pretty poor example of doublethink in my opinion. The draw-down in Iraq and the buildup in Afghanistan are not irreconcilable positions! The same goes for the recovery act and the bank bailouts both being completely different initiatives. I'm as big a fan of Orwell and 1984 as anybody, but this misrepresents what doublethink really was. Someone from 1984 engaging in doublespeak would seem absolutely NUTS to anybody today. Our presidents' positions are not contradictory. They are pragmatic.

Lame editing. "As we take the fight to al-Qaeda, we are responsibly leaving Iraq to its people. As a candidate, I promised that I would end this war, and that is what I am doing as President. We will have all of our combat troops out of Iraq by the end of this August." does not conflict with: "In Afghanistan, we are increasing our troops and training Afghan Security Forces so they can begin to take the lead in July of 2011, and our troops can begin to come home." Exactly as he's said for years.

But, that isn't a very good way of determining the exact numbers, for what they are and in turn what they are likely going to be. Which is why they have the Census. An added bonus of this is the creation of temporary jobs!

I am not so sure it can be expressed as an equation. Reduced spending can reduce the deficit which in an ethical system would lead to tax cuts. This would grow a free market economy. But the US hasn't had a free market economy in over a hundred years. Corporate interests own the government it does not mater which puppet is in charge or their political party.

But anyway I would not have said that socialism and individualism have anything in common. I suspect you must be having some knee jerk reaction to some phrase. The other thing is that yes, Orwell was a socialist that's how he became well acquainted with it's evil traits. Had he lived longer I believe he would have abandoned it like Whitaker Chambers.

Other wise you are part of the problem not the solution, and that is whether such attempts to mislead comes from either side.

This is a libertarian channel. Sorry if you can't comprehend the idea that people outside the Republican party dislike your messiah. Obama was never against Afghanistan. He was against Iraq and and we are still building permanent US military bases in that country. It's not impossible to balance the budget and spend money at the same time. It is to balance the budget and spend as much as Obama (Bush, Clinton, Bush Senior, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, so on) have and has been.

Unfortunately, every clip is out of context. Frankly I am sick of it, whether from democrats or republicans. It is misleading to people that don't follow politics as closely as I do. For example, in the very first supposed contradiction in clip one he is talking about the Iraq war and in clip two the Afghanistan war. This is exactly what he campaigned on. There is no contradiction. As such, after the first two clips the video loses creditability.
