video summarizing Obama's presidency and personality

Barack Obama has not been perfect, sometimes he has done some things I haven't agreed with - but he and Michelle have had more decency, dignity and class than any president I have known in my lifetime.

The best political ad of the year thanks to Carly Simon

You can google the lyrics to the song, but the general idea is quite understandable as well as what is said at the beginning - narcissist, self-grandiose, etc.

Trump's VP finds it impossible to defend him

Trump supporters are so stupid that they forgive him for everything

A short video clip with good subtitles in English by clicking on to the little rectangle and then English. (Maybe there are subtitles in Spanish too; I didn't check!)

I don't know if you know that in the US, it has been a tradition for the past 60 years for all Presidential candidates to release (publish) their tax returns ( Declaraciones de la renta) .

Hillary has done it going back 20 or more years. So did Bernie Sanders ( my original favorite) even though he was only a candidate for primary elections. But Donald Trump refuses, giving as an illogical excuse, that his taxes are under audit. Obviously he has something to hide.

Jimmy Kimmel, who has an evening show similar to Gran Wyoming, goes to the street to interview Donald Trump supporters, telling them a lie: that Trump just released his tax return and they have some very scandalous things, such as Trump is only worth $42,000 instead of 10 billion, he took a deduction ( a "write-off") for "breast pumps" ( bombas para aumentar los pechos) for his wives, donated money for the defense of the dentist who killed Cecil the lion ( remember?) or stated that his occupation was "farmer".

The supporters justify EVERYTHING ( maybe a little parallel with PP and Rajoy supporters but more exaggerated?)   To FIB= to tell a little lie

Another sarcastic Comedy piece about Donald Trump

This is Trevor Noah, the comedian who took over the Daily show after Jon Stewart left - and he is just as good. Here he reveals Trump's craziness and dangerousness with humor and talks about how he actually asked Putin ( who he admires) and Russia to find Hillary Clinton's lost emails from when she was Secretary of State, which is basically asking a foreign country to do cyber spying a the US for his political gain.

The rest, perfect!

a young female comic introduces Bernie Sanders

I don't know if you know about Bernie Sanders, the first self-declared Socialist candidate for US president who actually has a chance of becoming President of the US. He is in a very close with Hillary Clinton, who is center left, certainly much better than Donalid Trump and another year would be a very acceptable candidate, but who has taken money from Wall St. and lobbies, like most politicians.

Here he is being introduced by Sarah Silverman, a young and very cute female comedian. Her speech is short and easy to understand and the subtitles are perfect.

Vocabulary tip: neat = "guay"

NEW VIDEO CLIPS ABOUT IMPORTANT SOCIAL TOPIC ( with good subtitiles)

Hi all and whoever,

This is a series of 3 video clips. The topic is serious but it is something I feel very strongly about - the criminal justice or INJUSTICE  system and how people with mental illness problems are put in jail because there are no adequate mental health services.

Even "Obama Care" has not fixed his problem, though it is finally beginning to address it.

Bernie Sanders has made changing this situation a priority and, to her credit, Hillary Clinton has followed him in taking this situation seriously too.

As you may imagine, the leading Republicans Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, only want to cut more costs for health spending and think locking up "undesirable people" is the way to make America safe.

The woman in the first clip speaks very clearly and the subtitles, which you get by clicking onto cc, are perfect.

funny satirical and NOT real political ad

Lcomedian Bill Maher, an atheist but of Jewish extradition, makes a satirical political ad for Bernie Sanders (also a non-practicing Jew) about what he should say to make his Jewish heritage more acceptable to voters in Midwestern Protestant states like Iowa. Were you surprised that some or most of these people are Jewish? By who the most?

short video on political corruption in the US

In this short video clip with the entertaining illustrations, you will see that not only Spain has corrupt politics! In a way, it's even worse there because there is no limits to how much individuals and corporations can contribute to political campaigns, which really helps the candidates who vote in their interest. He speaks clearly and with the illustrations, it is not too difficult understand.
