Metrosexuals unite! Here is just one more example of a stupid person who thinks he is wise and perhaps smart too!

I wonder if he knows what a metrosexual may be?

Stupid, squared!

Well, why would I read this article? I know why Ken Burns is voting for Obama. He is voting for Obama because he supports government control over every aspect of our lives.

Well if you had your facts straight all you say never happened, it's a figment of the Libs immagination. Vote Romney and save yourself for another day...after you learn to read!

Mr. Burns, are you aware that one of your favorite movies of all time "It's a Wonderful Life" is perhaps one of the most poignant and clear measures on why we should all be pro-life? Tell me how Obama would feel about destroying the life of George Bailey if George's mother wanted an abortion.

Hear, hear, #5!! Well done!

So Mitt Romney is Mr. Potter and without George 'Obama' Bailey we'd all be out of work, on food stamps, welfare, disability. Grow up Kenny.

I love how libs say that it wasn't possible because the Conservatives wouldn't work across the aisle. Obama had the house and senate majority for two years.... they sure didn't work across the aisle when they rammed Obamacare down our throats. Obama shoulda, woulda, coulda but he didn't!

He failed all of us and he doesn't deserve another term.

What a poor, weak argument for voting for Obama.

The fact that Mr. Burns never held a private sector job (or not in decades) has polluted his thought processes.

And while Mr. Burns is for government support of PBS all of his projects are underwritten by one of the world's largest oil companies; what a hypocrite.

Big Bird's little PBS brother.

Didn't read article but is this the same Ken Burns who did the baseball documentary?

Read the comments following the article. Very enlightening.

By all means don't look at the facts. He hasn't walked us back from anything, rather he has walked us right into the storm.

Who is Ken Burns and why should we care who he votes for?

Your documentary on Abraham Lincoln will always be one of my favorites. But, you sir, are a dumb ass when it comes to analyzing obama's four years in office. And I would have no problem watching that documentary again on PBS with commercials being shown.

"As a student of American history..." :rollseyes:

Burns' Civil War doc got appropriate attention and, of course, race was an overriding element. Everything he's done since is tunnel-visioned race driven/leftist sop.

This endorsement is in keeping and, yes, as noted above, grow up, Ken.

In that movie, the Bailey Savings and Loan helped keep the town afloat and allowed the citizens to purchase/maintain their homes and businesses. When there was a run on the banks, it wasn't Government Man who came in with a wad of cash, it was one of their own - George Bailey. And the people didn't line up and demand their "fair share", they requested just enough to keep them afloat. There is an overt thread of personal responsibility that runs through this movie especially seen in the character of George Bailey. To compare our president to this character indicates to me that Mr. Burns has not really watched this movie.

#12 is correct, if the comments are anywhere near a representation of voters, count NH in R&R's column.

I like Ken Burns and really liked his " Civil War " masterpiece but I plan on voting for Romney-Ryan since I want a Pres. Romney to select the next two Us Justices for the US Supreme Court...Justices likely to be moderate to slightly conservative...a good thing !

Delusional piece that regurgitates BO's talking points without any variance. BO saved us from a depression? He saved the auto industry? Give me a break. And poor BO has been blocked by nasty Republicans? Except for the first two years when dems had full control of the government and fixed .....NOTHING.

It's no surprise that Burns cites FDR, a liberal hero, who's policies have been proven to actually have deepened and prolonged the depression.

Yup, you are right Ken. BO is acting like FDR ... and getting similar results, deepening and prolonging the recession. And like FDR, BO is attacking and demonizing business, which is the ONLY real vehicle to get us out of the economic mess. It took a world war to pull out of the FDR's depression. Hopefully we can fix our current problems simply by getting rid of the cause in a couple weeks.

Thanks for the confirmation that liberals are programmed robots Ken. I'm pretty sure that most New Hampshire citizens are not.

Burns made what may be the best documentary of all time - "The Civil War." He's been living off those accolades and trying unsuccesfully to repeat that success ever since. I wonder where he would be without his CPB grants - probably teaching at Pottersville High. I'm betting that's really why he's supporting Soetoro - to keep those grants a'coming.

Dang those Republicans--they wouldn't let Little Barry fix things. But oh wait--LB had a majority of Democrats in the House and Senate when he was elected. Why didn't he fix things then? And there was also the pesky problem of those voters who took away his majority in the House in 2010. If it wasn't for them, we would all be on Easy Street!

#12 nails it....If you have any doubt that New Hampshire is not going Romney take a look at the comments that follow the article

I will be sure that my family and I boycott anything this nerd comes up with in the future....

May he go the way of PBS & Big Bird

Proud American

What tax breaks? The Income Tax rates and deductions are the same as when Bush was president. Also, we are still in Iraq, have more dead in Afghanistan then in the Iraq war, we have 30% m
ore people getting food stamps, we are in a depression and we are $6 trillion in more debt. Ken Burns must be living in an alternate universe.

Key quote from article >>> "As a student of American history, let me give some perspective. Much like Franklin Delano Roosevelt (one of the subjects of a new documentary series we are working on — if Romney doesn't get his way and PBS isn't eliminated"

Young man,
You are voting for the obysmal won, again no doubt, in order to keep all those "Free ObamaBucks" coming.

(one of the subjects of a new documentary series we are working on — if Romney doesn't get his way and PBS isn't eliminated),

Romney never said anything about eliminating PBS. But - even if it were - there's always Al Gore's Current TV and two History channels.

No one in America has as much White guilt as this guy.

Not surprising, if you have paid close attention to his documentaries.

Right, 30. Especially the baseball one.

An example of what we see so often with those talented individuals producing entertainment; talent does not produce intelligence or the ability to discern logic. I wonder why these elite media stars so enamored with government and confident of their knowledge don't offer medical advice. There is no shortage of blockheads ready to turn over the leadership of government to some nut who can play a convincing role in a movie. Maybe they wish to trust their medical care to them as well.

Why I am voting for Barack Obama
Because you can't fix stupid.

# 17 is correct. The movie, my all time favorite, deals with self sacrifice and consistently doing the right thing even when it is not what you want to do.

George Bailey is given the opportunity to see what the world would be without his kind, generous, self-sacrificing presence in it. George saves the life of his brother who goes on to shoot down a plane before it crashes into a troop transport killing everyone on board. He saves the life of a pharmacist who makes a mistake with medication that would kill a little boy. He gives up his dream of college after his father dies to run the business and gives the money to his brother. All the while, Potter is trying to destroy him to get a hold of everyone's money and control their future.

When he needs help, the whole town comes running to his side, grateful for his kindnesses over the years.

No Mr. Burns. Mitt Romney is not Mr. Potter. Obama is as he steals our children's futures and tries to dictate our way of life. He lies, cheats and steals to get whatever he wants and takes our money to give it to his rich supporters.

Mitt Romney has led a life of quiet service. That is why the country is rallying around him in his and our time of need.

Mr. Burns if you truly love your daughters, you will open your eyes and vote for the true George Bailey, Mitt Romney.

Why should anyone care who Burns votes for? Does he represent some unseen group that matter to the rest of us? He's probably a lib who wants to keep his cushy income from PBS and who knows what.

I have no idea who Ken Burns is, but after reading the article, I have a label for him: He's just another dime-a-dozen Obama "psychophant".

Go ahead and vote for him. My vote will wipe yours out.

When I read any article, I always read the comments after it. It worries me that so many are dumbed down and could not possibly think for themselves. The anger expressed is not good for this nation. We must change our education system and media sooner rather than later. They would believe anything a so called TV star or fast food chain said. Propagana works.

The liberals keep talking about tax breaks for the rich. What about Obamacare's taxes on the middle class? Here are two examples: next year health care deductions are limited to the excess of 10% of adjusted gross income. This year it is 7.5%. The lower your income, the more likely it is that you will exceed the threshold. This hurts middle class families with big medical (or dental) expenses. And another is the lowering of the limit on contributions to flex spending accounts, from $5,000 to $2,500. This raises taxes by $625 a year for people who previously contributed $5,000 and are in a 25% bracket.

The recession that didn't become a depression was officially over 8/1/2009 before the President's first budget wnet into effect on 10/1/2009. We already know that the "Stimulus" failed because "Jobs weren't as shovel ready as I thought they were". So how was this depression stopped?

Semper Fi

Please, President Romney, please cut the funding to PBS.

I think Burns is a talented artist and story teller, but like so many others in the entertainment world, he has created in his mind a world that does not exist. The blue state model that Obama represents and he is so in love with is responsible for creating hopelessness and decline all over this country.

Burn's skewed logic, as exposed in this article, demonstrates why he can't be relied on for accurate portrayals of events in American history. ...His statist bias always creeps through.

Defund pbs/npr!!!

Sentimental mush - and more proof that people should stick to what they know best. There is no reason to attach any more significance to Ken Burns' political opinions than to anyone else's. There is, indeed, probably less reason to do so. It is almost always a mistake to try to capitalize on celebrity or success in one area to peddle personal political opinions.

Burns' simplistic, indeed childish good versus evil film-inspired vision of politics is naive and embarrassing. He does not seem to know any more about FDR than the liberal establishment wants him to know. His notions about the supposed virtues of compromise, when it is other people doing the compromising of their beliefs, are laughable. He is free to vote as he pleases - but he has not added to his reputation by this incredibly superficial plug for Obama.

I'll tell Burns what I'd tell the very few neighbors sporting Obama/Biden lawn signs: Obama is a traitor out to destroy America; what does that make you?

Does Ken Burns still have that stupid haircut? If so then why?

Can you imagine what would happen to Ken Burns if he were to announce he was going to vote for R&R. He would be shunned, excoriated, cursed, reviled, mocked and expulsed from the film industry. He would be a pariah with whom no important progressive could associate. In other words, he would taste cultural death.
Burns does not have enough intellectual or ethical strength to risk such repudiation. He is a weakling, bound and shackled to his progressive culture. Sadly, he is lost!

The only good thing about the Civil War series was the music and I despised every moment of the baseball series. I assume he's still making sleep inducing mini-series on our dime and that's why he needs Barry in the WH.

And another thing -- why does he still have a 1970's Twyla Tharp haircut?

Why I never buy anything associated with KB and I avoid PTV.

I have a bridge I'd like to sell you, Ken. The pink unicorns don't use it very much at all. BTW, Dave Barry rocks that haircut better than you.

Note to self, avoid this dummy's documentaries, not only because they move at a glacial pace.

Why in Heaven's name woukld ANYONE vote for Brack Obama?

What Obama would say to George Bailey about his 'Bailey Park':

"Mr. Bailey - that's a real nice housing development there. But you didn't build that."

Still in love, Ken? Fool.

I started to watch one of Burns's documentaries but got bored because it was one Authority interviewed after another, so I decided he must have made his career on flattering the Authorities. Maybe I was wrong. If I ever have a month where I haven't got anything else to do, I'll give him another try.

Thank mercy! I find this to be very affirming of my judgment to vote for Romney.

Bowl cut wearing, subsidy grabbing, ivory tower lurker.
