Wait a darn minute! This guy is black! And EVERYONE knows that most of us don’t like black people! We can’t stand them! That’s what people say. That’s why some of us don’t like Obama they say.

Oh, that’s a lie? I knew that but people say this stuff so it must be true! Why? Because they said it.

/sarcasm off - Good for this fellow!

Sorry to burst someone’s bubble, but if he wants to pump water, he needs to build a windmill like the ones used on prairie farms in the ‘20s and ‘30’s. A bicycle generator simply doesn’t generate enough electrical power to pump a decent quantity of water.

Great video. God bless him. Started with an idea, simple tools, crude materials and built something useful for himself and his family and others. What made America great.
