The very core diplomatic skillset that Obama possesses and commands is very much lacking in Washington; our country needs this kind of leadership now more than ever. He can disagree with a viewpoint without demonizing differing opinions and is willing to hear all points of view.
Obama not only has my vote and ongoing donations, him and his family are in our prayers.
this is a wonderful ad. Proof is in the pudding. look at all the Bushites with their panties in a bunch because they're scared. Truth hurts repubs. This is America, if you're lookin for commie pinkos look no further than your Bush-McCain buddies, how much was it
$3 trillion borrowed from communist China from Bush. These unpatriotic & ignorant haters here would rather live in fear then support the best of their nation. To shame.
Luckily nobody cares what u cons think, look what u did 2 US
Maybe if the middle class didn't expect to live like royalty, we wouldn't be destroying the world to accommodate them. It's unsustainable, and research shows that once you have enough material wealth to not be in poverty, additional wealth does not lead to additional happiness. Now, if we allowed people to find meaning in their lives, rather than chasing products, that could do the trick.
you guys should really start focusing on foreign policy. "we are all georgians" opens a massive hole. explain to people you can't just make enemies out of the whole world. threats like russia can only be 'fought' by reassembling the economy, the military, and good foreign relations first. empty bravado is not the answer.
It's a soft issues ad aimed at midle class America and, unheard of from John McShame, its not negative. Nice to see advertising that is respectful...I will vote for Obama. Yes, he is less known than McCain, but I already have had enough of Bush and the Republicans in the Whitehouse...they have screwed the pooch.
Since I'm going to be in medical school, and spend 12 years of my life in school training to become a physician...I really don't want a president who is going to take away even more of my income when I get out than currently (around 40% taxes on those making above 200k). Not saying that is Barack, but just saying that is something I keep in mind when choosing who to vote for. (Hopefully he will give us full tax plan details so we can know exactly what he is going to do)
you'll be paid fine and when you get out into the field will realize that actually you'd support exactely what Obama describes. Think of how many people don't go to the doctor because they don't have insurance or just simply can't even afford their copay. I think you'll be just fine this isn't exactely socialism bud its a sound & well founded agenda 2 solve our nations healthcare crisis, which will have 2 be passed thru both the House and Senate, the direction provides far more than vast insight
Sounds like a good plan. Let's hope the corporate fascists don't try to pull a coup like they tried on FDR. They will go to any lengths to maintain their grip on power. We need to stay vigilant & not fall for their lies. Remember - they run the media.
McCain is going to get voted for by upperclass, poncy newspaper-studying old men. Obama appeals to the whole of the US, as well as having the advantage of being black because black Americans would be more inclined to vote someone into the first black Presidency.
Many educated and intelligent people who make plenty are going to support Obama and are sick of what these Republicans have done to America. Remember they're not stupid. You can count on some people no matter where you go as being selfish..don't always count on it being the majority. But you are right Obama appeals to us all because he speaks truth and offers the real judgement and strong leadership. He so far out shadows his oppenent it is more than obvious
There are more intelligent people that know its important to vote the issues, not the party. Obama has never been in any tough leadership role and has zero experince. Tough Questions are "Above HIS Paygrade" His hardest decision was being against a war he didn't vote on. McCain put his Country First a as POW in Vietnam a and U.S. Senator thats broken from his party many times.
People who make under $45,000 per year (the current cost of 'lower middle class' living for one year in the US) should not pay any income taxes at all! The IRS 'standard deduction' should be 45K.
It was made a requirement that ads placed by the campaign have that "Iapprove this message" clip so that we know if an ad is directly from them. In America, there are different groups, on the right and left or supporting specific interests (anti-war, christian fundamentalists etc) who will place their own ads and we can see that the politician did not place it themselves.
I hope this is an Olympic commercial. I love that is doesn't mention the grumpy old man. I love that it's dense on specifics. Great ad. Of course, it helps that Obama has great policies so he has something to say other, unlike the grumpy old man who just spends his ad time whining.
You should represent all classes of our society and none over another. That class envy manipulation is what gets democrats into trouble. Taxing people over certain levels puts small businesses in trouble because many are paid out of personal income, looking like they have a greater income than they really do. This is sad. Instead of a communist style graduated income tax, why not just tax us once and be done with it? This could boost growth like many Euro nations are doing now. Big growth.
Please somebody tell me: Why can´t McCain make this kind of informative and optimistic Ads about his plans for our country instead of talking about Paris Hilton and Britney Spears? Why? What is he afraid of?
He's afraid that if he lays out what he really believes in then even more people are going to realize that Obama is right and he really is just a Bush 3rd term. So he just keeps attacking Obama with his childish celebrity meme while Obama lays out a very positive plan for our future.
Because his policy commitments and waffles would make it a lie. He's got nothing, so he winges about Obama's popularity...never acknowledging WHY Obama is popular...because we like his politics, his plan, his family, his values, and the way he has conducted himself, the life choices he has made. We also like the fact that electing OBama can do quite a bit to repair the damage Bush has done to our national image abroad....McSame prmises 4 more years of the same old shit. He's got NATHAN.
Because negative works, ask Karl Rove. Scare people enough, place enough doubt in their little brains, and you can get away with anything. Repugs have nothing to run on, certainly not their record, so negative is all they have to offer.
He thinks he has to make Celebrity ads. He knows thats very few people are excited about McCain the way we are about Barack. Carl Rove and his lackies are turning McCain into someone he isnt in an attempt to smear Barack. McCain should be running on being a maveric in the senate, but sadly he is taking the low road.
McCain is afraid that people will find out the real truth behind him: he is a bellicose, self-centered, right-wing extremist who has sold himself to the highest bidder and will do the same to America if he somehow wins.
First. This is a good ad. I like when Obama speaks on the issues and is uplifting. His greatest strength is his message of hope for a better America tomorrow.
Yipee, I definitely have the utmost faith that Barack Obama shall help, substantially help repair the American economy as President of The United States of American, indeed, without a doubt. Go Obama; Go!!!
A good positive ad, lays out his basic economic plan in under 30 seconds...no easy feat. Perfect for the Olympics..."putting hard working Americans first."
Finally the Obama Campaign has an ad that addresses specific economic directives for the American working class. This was not a McCain response ad but rather a message that has needed to be communicated to American voters.
This is an excellent ad by the Obama campaign. They finally have addressed specific economic directives for the working class American. This is not a McCain response ad, but rather an Obama specific ad. Thank you!
Keep up the good work, let the issues speak for themselves. No negative attacks needed, just the facts, and President Obama will do for American's. Go Obama 2008!
