when McCain became aware of this he said "Holy Shit!"

yes, but how many voters minds were swayed? Very few, I bet. My feeling is this was all intended to make sure his supporters will actually VOTE.

In other news, McCain is counting on children to deliver Ohio to him. www.huffingtonpost.com

I don't knwo why McCain just doesn't do the same thing.

Can't he sell a house or two?

I guess he cares more about them huh?

Obama lied to Americans about his link with ACORN. There is a sworn testimony that his team provided donor list to Project Vote (under ACORN) to target those who maxed out in campaing contribution should give to Project Vote. The story is beginning to spread. newsmax.com

If there's one thing Obama does well, it's market saturation.

Can't go close to a day without seeing an Obama ad on TV.

And I live in Illinois!

It's just the CLOSE.

Those of you in sales should know that.

Obama closed the deal.

I don't know what McCain is up to.....

That aside.....

Isn't it refreshing to have a President that talks to us candidly?

Yeah, it's spreading to MULTIPLE PAGES of newsmax, one of America's most trusted news sources.

Hey takitez,

PRESIDENT OBAMA!

haha

If you are already voting for him, why in the world would you watch this? To look at your TV and yell out "Yeah!" (Now that I think about it, that's probably exactly what Redneckville was doing.) I don't believe for a minute that it was 30+ million undecideds.

A group of Obamazoids were pissed when my local bar wouldn't turn off the Pistons game for an infomercial. People are seriously out of their minds for this guy...

People are seriously out of their minds for this guy...

Which is a little scary. I don't think he's what his packaging says he is.

And I don't think you're really a pirate, Pirate!
Well, ARRRR ya?

Remember back in 1986 Geraldo Rivera held the "Al Capone's Vault" special that drew 30 million viewers?

Same thing here. Lots off eyeballs but we all saw nothing of substance. Just worthless debris.

The term "Al Capone's vault" has become slang for a heavily expected event with disappointing results. Can you say Barack Hussein Obama primetime special boys and girls?

If you are already voting for him, why in the world would you watch this?

I din't plan on watching it. It started while I was driving, and I made no attempt to catch it. Hit the bar for a couple of cold ones instead.

But, then after the BB game, it re-aired and I watched it.

It was very well done. And that re-run ran right into the midnight event in FLA with President Clinton.

Like Obama or not, his campaign has run and is still running one the most thurough campaigns in history.

If he runs this country anything like he is running his campaign, we might have to revist term limits, by popular demand!

Can you say President Obama mother fucker?

Haha

McCain closing in.... Said Fox Poll (remember a few days ago Fox poll has Obama appearing to be a runaway winner, but now the gap is closing as of Thursday). newsmax.com

Like Obama or not, his campaign has run and is still running one the most thurough campaigns in history.

When you have more money than God, you can be very thorough.

yes Obama's running a good campaign. McCain's campaign is shoddy, erratic, no one seems to be in charge, no focus, varying messages, really bad. Since McCain is in charge of this mess, how do think he will run the country, same way?

Ah, the bathos. Obama's mother had cancer. If your mother or another family member had cancer, identify with Obama. And down the line it goes, pulling at heartstrings, same as Gore did with his family's maladies.

Ah, the rags to riches story. A mother who had a PhD. A grandmother who was a bank vice-president. A poor boy who attended elite private schools. Truly, a man of the people.

Well, he did have his "rebellious years," when he dealt and used crack cocaine and other drugs, was a lousy student, and traveled abroad on an Indonesian passport. But what the heck, he recovered and learned how to work the system.

Now, it's "share the wealth" time. It is intriguing how whatever the structure of the society, there is differentiation. Among communist bureaucrats, there was a group of favored folks, who had the dachas. Why even lowly gauleiters in Germany (well compared to reichsfuhrers), were favored with aan abundance of material goods and power. It seems that there are almost always goodies distributed on a hierarchal basis, it's just that the hierarchal structure and premises are different. But the same people, "the cream," usually rise to the top, whatever the system. The game rules change, but the same winners emerge.

As Krishnamurti observed people are individual people and behave like people whatever the system. There seems to be a commonality to the method of self-assembly, whatever the system..

McCain's campaign was run by incompetents. He did not early on go into an attack mode, and focus on Obama's many disqualifying negatives so that their presence was ingrained into the psyche of the electorate.

McCain has never filed charges regarding Obama's unattributed money sources, and so denied him use of the money. Obama deliberately did not keep required records to substantiate the bona fides of sources of funds.

And the Obama machine has operatives across the country refuting "in the exact same language" (what a coincidence), allegations against Obama. It is very well coordinated.

It's a conundrum that an indoctrinated commie with a black racist subscript debasing whites, and favoring black preference, can convince white Americans in significant numbers to accept his black preference platform to the detriment of white folks. Masochism gone mad.

McCain's campaign was run by incompetents.

Correct. And that person's name is John McCain.

Why in the HELL would anyone vote for such incompetence?

How could ANYONE vote for John McCain after He used the same bastards who trashed His adopted Black Daughter. How could You vote for Him?? It begs the question. ANYTHING upstairs??

Well Bush as the President certainly does employ candor except that he's been sort of silent lately. But when he does speak, he is characterized by candor. Glad you finally recognize it, Manypaths. You've chosen a path to enlightenment.

Bush is right out there, and McCain is also. But Obama is a pathological liar although his psychosis make cause him to believe that his incorrect observations and pronouncements reflect objective truth. Can a person, who has a skewed vision of reality that he relates be donominated as a pathological liar? What about his mments of clarity? Well, Obama certainly is a narcissistic poseur regardless.

A bit long, but here's a link to the psych profiles of hillary, obama and mccain (ouch).

Narf!

Jeez, why not throw that lying POS Palin into the mix and go fer the Big Lie Trifecta?

Fact is, Obama is the first candidate in a while to actually speak the truth to the American people and treat them like adults who deserve to be consulted with rather than children who need to be fooled.

Johnson, you really couldn't be any more wrong if you tried.

You Rtard types is getting more than a little crazy contemplating yer well deserved comeuppance on November 4th, aintcha?

Be Well.

And Michelle Obama is still sending out emails begging for money. He spent how much on his infommercial??

Here is her sweet little email. I'm trying to figure out how to respond.

Dear ____________

I know this campaign has asked a lot of you.

But in the next 5 days, Barack will need you more than ever before.

Together, we can make sure all voters head to the polls and make their voices heard in this election. And we can get Barack's message of change out to millions and millions of Americans in these final hours.

That's why I'm asking you to dig deep and make one final donation to help get us across the finish line.

Take a minute to consider what's at stake, then please make a donation of $5 or more today.

I've been blessed over the last 21 months to have been invited into your communities and to hear so many of your personal stories.

Supporters like you have told me about loved ones who can't afford health care, and relatives who've been laid off from jobs they've had for decades. About family members fighting bravely in Iraq, and worries about affording college in a struggling economy.

But what I've heard more than anything else is hope. A shared hope that if we work together, we can change politics and make this country better for all Americans.

I know that we can make it happen -- and we are so very close.

Make a donation of $5 or more and stand with Barack these last few days:

donate.barackobama.com

The strength of this campaign has always come from the individual stories and hard work of millions of supporters like you.

Thank you for being part of this movement,

Michelle

All you leftist drudgies can send in some mo money.

33 Million Saw Obama's Infomercial

The other 270 million of us just laughed at how gullible some people can be. We laughed even harder at some stupid Canadians that get heart erections at people they can't even vote for.

If he is elected, I can't wait until their starry little eyes get a load of what he has in store for them. It'll be poetic justice.

No matter how you send the message, a lie is still a lie, what a dickweed obama be.

The one thing that all infomercials have in common is that they are trying to sell you shit that you do not need.
Is there anyone on this site that was on the fence before, but will now vote for Obama as a result of the commercial last night?

How many of them were trying to watch the final game of the world series, and instead had to watch Obama repeat the same nonsense they've been hearing for over a year?

"How many of them were trying to watch the final game of the world series, and instead had to watch Obama repeat the same nonsense they've been hearing for over a year?"

Nobody was prevented from watching the world series, dumbshit.

Admit it, Joe.


You didn't watch the World Series.

Nice of you to be concerned for those who did, who only waited an extra 8 1/2 minutes to watch the finale of a rain delayed game.

33 Million saw the fraud, and dont even know it. I

will admit the dems play the steal the

vote ,register dead people and fish brainwash the

sheeple game well. With all the illegal foreign

money from George the socialst Eurotrash elitist

Soros Nobama can spend,spend,spend .Screaming

racism if you question this inexperienced

unqualified candidate.

Thanks for the reminder, Anamerican.

I just sent in $25.

President Obama

Get used to it.

"Nobody was prevented from watching the world series"

Who said they were? The point was that game start time was pushed back so that Fox could accommodate Obama's infomercial (and most likely so people attempting to watch the world series would see Obama).

"You didn't watch the World Series."

Yes I did.

So, bitch to Fox about the 8 minutes.

It's not that the pushed back the game - I'm trying to get people to be realistic about the fact that 33,000,000 people weren't all tuning in to see Obama. Millions of them were probably attempting to see the final game of the world series - you know - that thing that millions of people watch.

Oh, I'm pretty sure most of those 33 million knew exactly what they were tuning in to see.

They saw the epitomy of affirmative action, in action. This guy got where he is because hes 1/2 black(maybe).Plain and simple.

"This guy got where he is because hes 1/2 black"

That's why Jesse Jackson is the perennial Democratic nominee.

Mediocre, like you Dannyforth,and race baiter jackson. You probably give money to the rainbow coalition criminals.

"You probably give money to the rainbow coalition criminals"

I've never given a nickel to any politician.

"I'm pretty sure"

And what makes you "pretty sure?" Are you not aware that millions of people tune in to watch the world series at its scheduled start time, and that not all of them are hoping to see Barack Obama instead?

"This guy got where he is because hes 1/2 black"

That's why Jesse Jackson is the perennial Democratic nominee.

As Joe Biden would say, it's not because he's black, but because he's clean, articulate and black.

"Are you not aware that millions of people tune in to watch the world series at its scheduled start time, and that not all of them are hoping to see Barack Obama instead?"

Besides, Ted, none of those people knew how to change the channel. It was near the end when they all finally discovered it wasn't the bottom of the seventh.

Listening to you stupid Rongs never changes. I leave, I come back, it's still the same. Idiots decrying the intelligent, posturing about positions they know nothing about, screaming that somehow it's the party that hasn't been in power for 8 years that's the problem, that all the lies, all the subterfuge, all the incompetence was really somebody else's fault.

You are children. You are spoon fed ideas and you have no ability to parse the truth for yourself. You are an embarrassment, and yet, you are a predictable result of the policies of intellectual disenfranchisement. You are smug in your alternate realities, coddled by fear and bogeymen, wailing against the wind of change that is finally, mercifully, sweeping down.

I can't even ask you to wake up. All I can hope is that you can only endanger yourselves and your pitiful progeny, rather than continuing to obstruct the adults who must now undo the damage of your willful neglect and ignorance.

"one of those people knew how to change the channel. It was near the end when they all finally discovered it wasn't the bottom of the seventh."

Many people would leave Fox on for fear of missing the play that ends up winning or losing the world series. Any baseball fan would know that - maybe you should ask one.

FOX said the game was scheduled to start at 8:30 for some time, the Obama ad did not change that. That's what FOX said, it just affected a pre game show. so get off this right whinner talking point. If you don't like Obama or this ad FINE, but stop with the BS, that just highlights your ignorance!

I'm trying to remember if I've ever bought anything I saw on an infomercial.

I don't think so. But I give Obama credit for going after the Ginsu knife- and ab roller-demographic.

Obama would have been better off if he let the Sham-Wow guy do the speaking.

Anybody here remember the scene from "Borat" where Libertarian Bob Barr eats cheese?

"Many people would leave Fox on for fear of missing the play that ends up winning or losing the world series."

And I'm sure that accounts for the entire 33 million.

Joe, your argument is beyond stupid. You must just want to argue. Even Fox said they didn't change anything because of OBama's infomercial.

"Our first pitch for the world series is usually around 8:30 anyway so we didn't push back the game, it was really just about suspending the pre-game -- you know, Joe Buck," said the account executive, Joe Coppola. "That's all we did."

He said World Series games this season have begun between 8:22 p.m. and 8:35 p.m.

"We didn't push back the game at all," he said. He also said Obama had initially arranged to buy the time only if the Series were over before Game Six (in fact, a rain-delayed Game Five will continue tomorrow night), but Fox then decided to sell the campaign the time whether or not the game was played.

"By no means did they push to get us to accommodate them with Game Six," said Coppola, whom the Obama campaign suggested I call. "We're just missing the pregame, which isn't a big deal for us. It was a business decision."

I don't think so. But I give Obama credit for going after the Ginsu knife- and ab roller-demographic.

You're just jealous McCain didn't have enough money to go after the Enzyte crowd.

Obama will put Enzite out of business, at least in Washington. He gave Chris Matthews the biggest puffy of his life--think of what he's doing to all the guys who are still embarrassed to admit they're being aroused.

Who cares about baseball anyway, when there's a good comedy show on, like Barack pretending he should be president?

From what I hear, though, Obama's was a lousy infomercial. All gloom-n-doom, end-of-the-world stuff. Like reading one of Zatoichi's posts.

Given the extent of knowledge not only of products but of personalities, that the "collective whiners" are Infomercial Fans. Who knew?

8 million FOX viewers.

And Mccadaver got 4000 nose pickers who hoped to see Sarah's boobies. Joe didn't even show up.

People are lazy.They are to lazy to get informed on this guy and his criminal associations. And the info is there,on the internet to start with.Its hard werk to look at it. And then just people who are voting for the color of his skin. Hopefully all the white people do that.

Of course not watching it wouldn't keep a dumbshit like you from characterizing it.

You talking about McCain and his criminal association with Charles Keating?

Maybe his criminal association with his wife, the thief and drug addict?

His criminal association with Dumbya the War Criminal?

His association with convicted felon Ted Stevens?

His asociation with convict Jack Abramoff?

His association with pedophile wannabe Mark Foley?

His asociation with the ethically challenged power abusing Sarah Palin?

His asociation with noted anti-American secessionist Todd Palin?

Wot exactly do you mean?

And then just people who are voting for the color of his skin. Hopefully all the white people do that.

Did you just say that you hope white people vote against Obama based on the color of his skin?

Do clarify that one before Spud tears you a new one.

Do it quickly though before yer Klan meeting begins.

-People are lazy.They are to lazy to get informed on this guy and his criminal associations.


I have to agree....


"During the 1990s, while he served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), McCain distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi, including one worth half a million dollars.

A 1998 tax filing for the McCain-led group shows a $448,873 grant to Khalidi's Center for Palestine Research and Studies for work in the West Bank. (See grant number 5180, "West Bank: CPRS" on page 14 of this PDF.)

The relationship extends back as far as 1993, when John McCain joined IRI as chairman in January. Foreign Affairs noted in September of that year that IRI had helped fund several extensive studies in Palestine run by Khalidi's group, including over 30 public opinion polls and a study of "sociopolitical attitudes."

www.huffingtonpost.com

All gloom-n-doom, end-of-the-world stuff

~RightisWrong-asUsual

Actually, like all of Obama's ads and messages this one was positive and uplifting in the main. Just the right mixture of hope and caution, idealism and realism. Recognising the many epic failures of BushCo and how they've hurt so many people but tempered with a positive message on how he's gonna make changes that lead to a brighter future fer everyone and not just a few fat cats at the top of the food chain.

Obama is the candidate of hope and change.

McCain is the doom and gloom candidate.

Ever watched one of the hate fueled Nuremberg-esqe hatefests and smear-a-thons that the McLame/ Failin rallies have devolved into?

Seriously, they gotta bring Debbie Downer from SNL out at the end of his rallies now in order to cheer the crowd up.

Be Well.

"8 million FOX viewers."

Well, even if one assumes ALL of them were tuning in for the World Series, and ALL of them either left the TV on, just in case, or watched the entire Obama infomercial without realizing it wasn't the seventh inning (which, being FOX watchers, isn't beyond the pale), that still leaves 25 million viewers tuning in for Obama, which is more than the usual 23 million watching at that hour.

I don't have to lift up a manhole cover to know what's down there.

Here's a link to the article I read about The Anointed One's Big Media Buy:

www.drudge.com
Two leading infomercial stars agree: Barack Obama's half-hour self-promotion last night was a flop.

"I don't see enough smiling. Doom and gloom totally," said Anthony Sullivan, one of the biggest names in infomercial history.

"I feel depressed right now," added Sullivan, an Englishman famous for his infomercials touting the Swivel Sweeper and Smart Chopper. The only thing saving Obama, Sullivan said, was when the candidate appeared live at the end speaking at a rally in Florida.

"I think it needed it. I was about to throw myself through a window because it was depressing," Sullivan said.

He and AJ Khubani, who has produced infomercials for 25 years, said Obama also fell short of offering solutions to the dire problems he laid out.

Ever watched one of the hate fueled Nuremberg-esqe hatefests and smear-a-thons that the McLame/ Failin rallies have devolved into?

* * * *

No. But it's amazing how much time you seem to have to devote to politics. When did you go to a McCain rally?

"He and AJ Khubani, who has produced infomercials for 25 years, said Obama also fell short of offering solutions to the dire problems he laid out."

No shit, Sherlock. The difference being the crap laid at Obama's feet is going to be a bit more complex than a Clapper.

Maybe not. But the solution is to merely elect The Great Obama. It will be at that time that . . . what did he say again? . . . oh yeah . . . "the waters cease to rise and the planet begins to heal." And so on. Obama is like the infomercial pill sold to the morbidly obese that cleans up their colon over five days, and by next weekend they're tossing the frisbee on the beach with some hot babes. But be careful to note the fine print on the bottom of the screen, "Actual results may vary."

G0bama!! The Infomercial Man! From the heights of the Colorado Acropolis, To Our Living Rooms!

"But be careful to note the fine print on the bottom of the screen, "Actual results may vary.""

Or the finer print, which says "predecessor looted the treasury; you're screwed."

33,000,000 viewers divided by $ 3,000,000 = $.09 per per viewer. What a deal. Way to spread the wealth Obama.

$.09 per per viewer

It looks like he has some business sense too.

Every politician around is going to look at these numbers and how much it cost to reach each individual voter and wish they were so smart.

While surfing the news I ran into this gem.

The McCain-Palin ticket had a bad case of the stumbles Thursday in the race to catch up with White House front-runner Barack Obama.

At a morning rally in Defiance, Ohio, John McCain did everything but put out an Amber Alert for "Joe the Plumber," who was AWOL for the event.

McCain built up to a big intro of his plumber pal, aka Joe Wurzelbacher of Holland, Ohio, but his blue-collar symbol for cutting taxes was nowhere to be found.

"Joe, I thought you were here today. Where's Joe? All right. Well, you're all Joe the Plumber," McCain told the crowd.

RELATED: JOE THE PLUMBER ENDORSES McCAIN
His veep pick Sarah Palin had her own awkward moment at an afternoon rally in Erie, Pa. - Pittsburgh Pirates territory.

Apparently nobody told her. She said she was "thrilled to be here in the home state of the world champion Philadelphia Phillies."

She got booed.


Joe the plumber is missing and the bright and brilliant palin doesn't know pirate territory. Bet those Pittsburg fans will cast their votes to the hockey mom who apparently isn't as sports minded as she portrayed.

Or the finer print, which says "predecessor looted the treasury; you're screwed."

And Obama helped.

Did he introduce legislation in Congress to raise taxes on wealthy people? Or cut them for the middle class? Or to reduce spending? Or did he vote against the $700,000,000,000 bailout of Wall Street?

No. You just expect him to turn over a new leaf, after he's sworn in. But you'll vote for him anyway. Will you be voting for him because he's black, and you're afraid you'll be called racist? Or because he's a Democrat, and it's just a habit for you?

33 million--hmmmm--not impressed.

And he didn't say anything new except that he will now tax people who make 200,000.

Then Biden was taped later saying the taxes would be dropped on people making 150,000.

Can't these blowhards get their numbers straight?

"And he didn't say anything new except that he will now tax people who make 200,000."

No, he didn't.

"predecessor looted the treasury; you're screwed."

Looks like the lefties are already lining up their excuses for the inevitable failure that Obama will be. Rightisright is right, Obama did nothing to stop the "predecessor" from "looting the treasury" - in fact, he hoped to do just that by proposing almost a billion dollars worth of earmarked spending in his short time as a senator.

"Looks like the lefties are already lining up their excuses for the inevitable failure that Obama will be. "

Oh, don't misunderstand: if McCain is elected, he's screwed as well.

Well Bush as the President certainly does employ candor except that he's been sort of silent lately. But when he does speak, he is characterized by candor.

Yeah, he was real upfront about those WMD and the whole dead or alive thing, wasn't he?

Obama spends millions on commercials yet his brother and aunt live in extreme poverty. He wants everyone else to spread the wealth but not him. If Obama won't take care of his family even though he is a millionaire, how can you expect him to take care of America? Obama is fraud and I am simply mystified how so many can be so easily fooled by his smoke and mirrors campaign.

Obama doesn't care about his family (family members in poverty), the troops (promoted cut and run strategy), the United States (Rev. Wright and Ayers are friends) or anything else BUT winning.

"Obama spends millions on commercials yet his brother and aunt live in extreme poverty."

You are aware he's not allowed to give campaign money to family members, aren't you?

So that excuses his behavior in your eyes how? Two wrongs make a liberal I always say.

"Two wrongs make a liberal I always say."

Whereas several thousand wrongs make an El Cid.

"You are aware he's not allowed to give campaign money to family members, aren't you?"

He's a millionaire without his campaign money - and yet he has relatives living in poverty. Sounds like a classic liberal to me, sharing everyone's wealth but his own.

"He's a millionaire without his campaign money - and yet he has relatives living in poverty."

And how many of your relatives are you planning on supporting?

"Two wrongs make a liberal I always say.
#94 | Posted by ELCIDCE90"

It's bumpkinish expressions like that which explain the laughter that greets your presence.

"how many of your relatives are you planning on supporting?"

Is it relevant since I'm nowhere close to being a millionaire? If I made $4M off a book I probably wouldn't let anyone in my family live in poverty. But that's just me.

"If I made $4M off a book I probably wouldn't let anyone in my family live in poverty. "

Let's wait and see.

Then again, it would be a lot less hypocritical for me to support nobody even if I were a millionaire, since I don't constantly get on my high horse and say we should be spreading the wealth around to the less fortunate who don't have a chance in our society.

Democrats are perfectly comfortable ripping Palin for supposed inconsistencies between her political philosophy and her family life. But when the same or larger inconsistencies occur with regard to Obama, they are seen as irrelevant.

Danforth,
At least be honest and admit the hypocrisy in Obamas sharing the wealth mantra. It's OK for we the taxpayers to foot the bill for Obama's aunt, and for the poor around the world, yet he won't take his own money and do the same?

Joe,
You wouldn't mean abstinence teaching would you...

It's bumpkinish expressions like that which explain the laughter that greets your presence.

And comments like this that makes people leave with yours. ;)

Danforth, you still excusing bidens behaviour because delay did it?

"At least be honest and admit the hypocrisy in Obamas sharing the wealth mantra."

The question was about the tax code. I believe his answer was regarding making it more fair, yet it's been twisted to mean Marxism, or Socialism, or Communism, or whatever else his detractors don't understand.

"Danforth, you still excusing bidens behaviour because delay did it?"

No.

Still think Obama should give campaign money to family members?

Let me understand this so as to avoid you giving another non answer or as usual, dancing around the point...

Has Obama promised to give handouts to the poor (which will come from our tax dollars) that are unprecedented and above and beyond anything we currently have?
Not just the poor here in the USA, but across the globe.

Pretending as though Obama hasn't pandered to the poor and attempted to make himslef out to be Robin Hood is exactly the type of thing that causes nobody to believe your proclaimed Independant label.

Well, not nearly as much as Bush giving out corporate welfare to his oil buddies.

See, I didn't deflect at all.

"Has Obama promised to give handouts to the poor (which will come from our tax dollars) that are unprecedented and above and beyond anything we currently have?"

Probably. Much like Bush slashed taxes on dividends for the wealthiest by 60%, unprecedented, especially during a time of war. The difference is Obama won't have two nickels to rub together, thanks to his predecessor.

"Pretending as though Obama hasn't pandered to the poor"

Obama "panders" to the poor the same way Bush "pandered" to the rich. You just don't like it cause the guy has a (D) after his name.

OK guys, have a great weekend. I have to go home and make the neighborhood safe for trick or treaters tonight. In otherwords, I have to Dethpud proof it.

"not nearly as much as Bush"

You nailed it:

"Much like Bush"

LOL

Obama "panders" to the poor

At least you admit this.

So in other words, Obama is cool with promising them all sorts of goodies with our money, but he isn't about to give his own money to his own relatives...

Do as I say, not as I do.

Hell, his charitable donations are pitiful.

"So in other words, Obama is cool with promising them all sorts of goodies with our money"

What would you call McCain's plan to eliminate a tax which only affects multi-millionaires and billionaires? And guess who has to pick up that tax tab if they don't?

I don't think McCain is increasing taxes on your income level Danny.

"I don't think McCain is increasing taxes on your income level Danny."

Just my share of the tax pie, while giving the super-wealthy a break.

"What would you call McCain"

Why does your answer have anything to do with John McCain? The point was that Obama promises handouts of taxpayer money to the poor but is unwilling to give his poor relatives some of his own money. When McCain has a poor relative living in the slums, then you can start comparing. Talk about Obama, if that's possible.

"Looks like the lefties are already lining up their excuses for the inevitable failure that Obama will be.

The only thing inevitable in the next 4 years is that Joe the Mouth will blame liberals for any bad news, regardless of who is elected.

Certainly anything bad that comes from our government can be blamed on them. They'll control the executive branch and both houses of congress.

Which means I guess they'll have to finally stop blaming George Bush and Karl Rove for everything that goes wrong in daily life. Or does it take a few years for that to stop?

"Or does it take a few years for that to stop?"

Given that you douchebags are still whining about Carter and Clinton, or FDR for that matter, much more than that.

How many Senate or House seats will the Losertarians win on Tuesday? Governorships?

My prediction: Zero, like always. That because they are, and always will be, looooooosertarians.

That doesn't upset me, I'm comfortable with the fact that most Americans are morons.

Obama has something in common with Bush, can't own up to mistakes. Even his VP Biden recognizes this.

Wow...thats like having EVERYONE in Canada watching!

33 Million Saw Obama's Infomercial

What infomercial?

Typical.

While the battle of the White House continues, the Congress seats are refilled with the same garbage.

When the Entire Senate and House are cleaned out, then we can discuss change. Changing the White House isn't enough.

Why is some things still buried about Kennedy's assassination? Because there are still some people in Congress hiding.

At least be honest and admit the hypocrisy in Obamas sharing the wealth mantra. It's OK for we the taxpayers to foot the bill for Obama's aunt, and for the poor around the world, yet he won't take his own money and do the same?

Good point.

How about we take Obama's word for it, that his aunt isn't worth giving money to? Seems like the great Barack has either decided he doesn't give a damn, or that giving her money would do her more harm than good. Either way, don't see why the rest of us should.

And while we're on the subject, the same should apply to every relative of every P-Diddy, 50-cent, Shaq, Michael Jordan, and OJ Simpson--assuming there are any left alive.

"Why does your answer have anything to do with John McCain?"

Because there are only two choices out there with a snowball's chance of winning this election...or haven't you noticed?

this can never be said too much

the reason he has the money for this is because he is a
FUCKIN LIAR about taking public money.........

this FACT that cant be denied trumps anything the message might have said

and I am still waiting on the expose on the people in the show.....I am waiting to hear all about thier tax status like the media did for joe the plumber

and I am still waiting on the expose on the people in the show

may I suggest holding your breath

the reason he has the money for this is because he is a
FUCKIN LIAR about taking public money.........


From move on.org and Soros the degenerate eurotrash elitist. Fucking sheeple voting for Nobama and thier own demise.

The infomercial was definitely "the close" on what has been the best run campaign in political history.

By staying on message, refusing to be drawn down by the Republican smear tactics, clearly articulating his well thought out comprehensive policies and how they will help get America on track after eight years of Republican/corporate highjacking, Senator Barack Hussein Obama will soon be President Barack Hussein Obama.
