Well, isn't that nice of BHO............
***ETA - I shot an email about this to Glen Beck asking him to look into / report on this if true*** http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=92999 Posted: March 26, 2009 11:45 pm Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily The man who created two phenomenally successful "We The People" YouTube videos urging Americans to stand up against Congress and reclaim their republic now – or perhaps lose it forever – reportedly has been summoned to the White House by President Obama to discuss the subject matter of the short films. Bob Basso, who posts videos under the name funbobbasso on YouTube, has created videos in which he portrays Thomas Paine, author of the "Common Sense" pamphlet that made the case for independence during the American Revolution. Basso, whose website offers his services as a motivational speaker, uses the YouTube presentations to condemn "non-representing representatives" and warns, "Only when they feel the almighty wrath of 'We The People' marching in the streets from California to New York shouting 'We're mad as hell and we want our country back' will they get the message they work for you." He was scheduled this week to appear on the "Jerry Doyle Show" when he told the radio host that Obama had personally invited him to meet in the White House "to discuss the disturbing nature of the videos." According to a spokesman for Doyle's show, at the time when Basso was supposed to be calling in for the show, he was unavailable. Basso reached the show several hours later, explaining he had been flooded by media calls and literally was unable to call out. The result, the spokesman said, was that Basso promised to provide Doyle with the first exclusive interview after he meets with Obama, provided the invitation still stands after the meeting was leaked to the press. The spokesman said information about the meeting has not been made public, and show producers are waiting to see what develops. A WND message left for Basso was not immediately returned. The Doyle show reaches about 3 million listeners each week, according to Talkers Magazine, and is the fastest growing show in Talk Radio Network Enterprises' history with more than 240 stations. In his second video, which has been seen more than 1.1 million times, Basso challenges people to let Congress know their displeasure by sending tea bags. It is embedded here: He criticizes Congress for approving the "largest spending bill in history without reading it" and criticizes American citizens, because "you did nothing." He raises the issue of billions of dollars for benefits for illegal aliens, the exportation of U.S. jobs overseas and others. "If your self-serving Congress were a business they'd all be in jail now," he said. "Wake up, America. While you were playing with the toys of your consumer wealth, you lost much more than your bloated economy of living beyond your means. You lost your representative democracy. Your servants have become your masters. Taxation without representation is tyranny," he said. He's equally unhappy with Americans in the first video, embedded here: In that piece he warns of the problem of supporting the rest of the world while America needs to be rebuilt. Referring to "progressives," he said, "We had another word in 1776. We called them traitors." Basso is the author of the best-selling book "This Job Should Be Fun" along with 10 other books, including "Lighten Up Corporate America!" A former award winning news director for NBC TV and visiting professor at UCLA, Basso has a Ph.D in communications. Doyle's distinctive repertoire includes former Wall Street insider, TV star and jet pilot. He has starred in many made-for-TV movies, but is best known as the character Michael Garibaldi on the Emmy winning Sci-fi television series "Babylon 5," which ran for five years. |

I'm thinking his drive back from the white house won't be safe.
|

this meeting should be good, wish I could be a fly on the wall for that..., after the meeting he is escorted away by Obamas JBT's for insighting insurection........ i wonder if Basso will be the first to have a perment stay at a fema camp.

Obama had personally invited him to meet in the White House "to discuss the disturbing nature of the videos."
FUCK OBAMA. |
|
Obama is gonna Darth Vader his ass in the oval office! Too bad, we need more like him.
WHat are the chances this guy comes out of the meeting going "sumbitch THREATENED me for exercising political speech!" |
|
Wonder if he will make anymore videos - or how long it will take for his existing videos to be pulled from youtube?
..... |
|
I'm sure they'll have a friendly conversation, and agree on many points..
|
|
he should bring a tv crew with him or something so he makes it out alive.

His next video title "How to fix your racist and extremist views and and find love for our great leader and messiah"

It is little known that the last words muttered by Bob Basso before leaving for Washington were "Fuck it, I'm foing!"

Guy better grow eyes on the back of his head.
I guess he didn’t get the memo that decent will NOT be tolerated under this administration and is going anyway. Poor brave fool. The brave are always the first to day. |

Now he's using the office to intimidate and bad mouth critics.
A few more months of power consolidation and he'll just make people disappear. "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . ." |

Ft. Marcy park anyone?
Or he gets back and his videos are super happy go lucky and everything is fine. Or they talk, Obama kind of listens (that's what the teleprompter says...make eye contact with speaker, listen, nod head, now say "umhhmm", glace left quickly, now look at speaker's eyes again, now nod....) After the guy explains his position in what I hope will be a kind and very well thought out manner Obama says they want him focus his energy on specific issues....... See, I think they will use this guy and he might not even realize he's being used. That's all. A little Democratic ninjitsu of the mind. |

Hmm. "Summoned" to the White House by Obama?
"Sorry Mr. President. I don't accept your invitation." Seriously, what says he HAS to go to the White House to discuss anything? |
|
|
|
|
|
I like the spirit of what he does, but some of the stuff he says is kinda dumb. I don't want to get rid of the E.C. for one...
|
|
I made a joke a few weeks ago about how the Obama administration could be petty enough to have a live Televised rebuttal to some everyday person's negative comment. holy shit i was right. |

I love how most of you clowns make fun of a guy who has had the balls to, at least, do something about our current debacle. I hope there are another 75 million Bob Bassos ready to stand up for liberty and tell the truth. This is the best way to get the idiots from power in 2010/2012. May the story be told from sea to shining sea.

BHO better listen up to this man ! The winds of CHANGE are a brewing .
|
|
I think it should be aired LIVE , he has to wear the Thomas Paine costume that thing rocks !
|

I predict Obama's going to "Make him an offer he can't refuse"
I'd love nothing more than to have him put out a post meeting "hit piece" on Dear Leaders plans. |

A YouTube video by actor Bob Basso portraying a modern day Thomas Paine is sweeping this country. Not since "I want my country back" has something so pro-American, so red white and blue, so revolutionary, taken this country by storm.
It calls for the 2nd American Revolution, and that apparently has Obama worried. Unconfirmed reports say that the Obama White House has contacted Basso and told him they would like to "meet" with him, and until then, they would prefer he not discuss the video in the media. Again this is an unconfirmed report. Please watch this reminder of what our responsibility as a citizen of this country should be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKFKGrmsBDk And to the new administration, just a reminder, we still have freedom of speech. You haven't taxed us or jailed us out of that...yet. Tell me your thoughts on Bob Basso's performance. A Patriot or Subversive? Clearly I believe he is a patriotic American. And just in case you are a product of the public schools and never learned about Thomas Paine, please read about the Father of the American Revolution who wrote the phrase "These are the times that try men's souls" at http://www.ushistory.org/PAINE/ . |

Unconfirmed report....
So.... where did this report come from? I'm calling BS until we get some actual proof. |
|
He should have the full support of all citizens and the message about meeting should be published on Fox News to protect him
