Obama's Health Care: Influenced By Socialist Pokemon?

Whether you approve of Obama's plans to expand Medicare and Metapod, this is a hilarious video that poses the question: Can people on the street tell the difference between the health care debate and Pokemon?


When the young men in the video above took their camera onto the streets, their goal was simple: They were going to start off asking questions about the health care debate in America, and gradually shift to asking questions about Pokémon. It's hilarious; just watch the damn video already.

We can just walk into any Pokémon Center we please and get our Pokémon healed for free! That's socialism! I demand an expansion on the private Potions market so that we can treat our Pokémon however we choose out of our own money. Instead, our hard-earned Pokédollars are going to inefficient government employees all named Nurse Joy who will indiscriminately heal Pokémon - even if they come from other regions like Sinnoh, Hoenn or Orre!

How are small-time Gym Leaders supposed to afford Chanseycare for all of their trainers and Pokémon? Badges aren't cheap, you know! On the other hand, I think that Brock Obama should listen to that Professor Oak guy - he seems to know what he's talking about.

Ah, the debate is pointless. Everybody knows that the Rhyperlicans and Demochatots are both just in the pocket of the Silph Corporation anyway.

(Let's keep the comments free of political flaming, shall we? The video is hilarious and all in good fun.)

People just want to talk about their preconceived ideas without really hearing what others want to say. I'm sure that doesn't describe anyone else anywhere....

ANYways, quite entertaining

Why is it so hard for people to just say "I'm sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about."

These people are being asked things that (Pokemon references aside) they appear to have absolutely no clue about, and yet they keep going on and on with these answers that make absolutely no sense.

Still, ranting aside, that was pretty funny, my favourite part was the slipping in of Metapod between Medicare and the other one.

Wow... The music at the beginning really helped it along.

It's simply pitiful that so many people completely disregard the talk of pokemon so they could say what they thought was fact. This needs to be broadcast all around.

The should try asking people who actually know what a Gameboy is. Most of the people seemed to just want to talk about what they understood/heard about the bill. I don't even think they were really listening to the guys asking the questions. I don't play Pokemon, but I would have been like WTF is Metapod?

senator lugia for president...
Seconded!
I mean I would jump on board, but I gotta say, what has Senator Lugia done lately for the Kanto region. All he does is sit around at the bottom of the sea and wait to get caught. My vote is going to Brock Obama he may be a simple gym leader from Pewter city but look.......LOOK.
