This is actually outrageous that Obama would even dare to use veterans to gain political points. McCain would and will never use veterans in such a way.
I support US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Stop "Saigon evacuation nr.2", dear Mr. Obama and US Democratic Party:), stop Hanoi Jane´s "peace" nr. 2 for Pol Pot´s thugs, oh no, sorry, of course, for taliban thugs:)
Long Live Viet Nam Cong Hoa and free Iraq and Afghanistan too!!!
Greetings from Czech Republic and McCain + Palin 4ever:)
Surprisingly moving. These men and women are heroes, and Obama got it right last night -- no soldier who dies in the service of America EVER dies "in vain"!
all I can say is the polling companies dont poll the youth vote...because they dont poll cell phones. im wondering how much they could put the legend over the top here. well excited!
I like the message, but the dissolves go by way too fast. I know you're cramming a lot into a small time slot, but it goes by in a blur. It's jarring and makes my eyes hurt. It's a little bit better when I expand for full-screen mode.
GREAT AD...wow...as far as campaigning goes, when you see Barack's ads, they actually look cutting edge and different, as well as talk about WHY he should be elected. His policies have become more solid in the last month, and his ads are nothing to mess with.
It was a veterans ad that didn't play on fear- brilliant.
Spread the video please. That's how change will happen. Most people don't even see these videos, and think what they want about Obama.
NEWS FLASH! Senate Bill 3604 was just shelved! What is S. 3604? It was another stimulus package to fund unemployment, food stamps, elderly aid, and more. Yep, the Republicans voted against it! Why? Because it didn't include an oil drilling ammendment! So, if you want to say that the GOP cares about the middle class, this is just one more example they DO NOT! Back to the GOP mantra! Big Oil/Big Business! Fuck the middle class! Obama/Biden - 2008
well you are entitled to your vote "DarthMaul15" but can you give me some reasons why you are voting for McCain (Without just talking about how bad Obama is)??
It's strange that some veterans disagree with other veterans? I guess you might think they have a some sort of "liberal disease?" Don't listen to people who poison our nation with such hateful thinking. Just because people disagree with or are different from you does not make them strange. It does mean you should try to understand where they are coming from.
you don't know all the veterans in the world. I don't see what is so strange.
And obviously, if you were a veteran and had researched the plans and histories of both canditates well, you would see that Obama has a better record when it comes to supporting veterans.
I believe what is strange is that you are a Vet,Willing to send your comrades over to Iraq for 100 years.I am a spouse to a AD Soldier and trust me we have seen a lot of soldiers who are voting outside the box this time around,Just cause your in the Military does not mean you have to be Republican.I am proud that my spouse and other's are not following behind McCain just because he wore a uniform,.My spouse will retire in a few years and loves serving this great nation but for the right causes.
If McCaint wins, you wont find a country without a McCaint incited war to move to. lol
So you better get your butt out their trying to educate and convince Americans about the downside of electing a THIRD BUSH that is worse than the other bad bush!
Great video. As a disabled vet, am gratified to know that Sen. Obama has a decent chance of being our next CinC. Remeber that it was Obama who led the investigation into why there were such discrepancies btwn VA offices and the veterans' disability awards. It unveiled an ugly truth about the VA:not all VA offices are pro-veteran. I was a rater for 12 years and know the law mandates VA to grant benefits whenever possible. I will answer any and all VA rating questions. Sincere thanks to u all!
hiyisal, you're right. I forgot Barack Obama's a member of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee. He started that investigation 3 years ago in Sept 2005, & that was within his first year in the Senate. He's got to bring that up in the debates.
But was this video ever on TV? It's great. It gave me chills. Those soldiers' photographs fading into themselves as each of them spoke was edited beautifully. It's a great way to put that message on a TV screen. If this hasn't been on TV, it should be.
A number of veterans organizations have endorsed Obama, particularly those from the more recent wars who are struggling to get treatment and benefits. Obama's record in voting pro-veteran legislation is far superior to McCain's if anyone bothers to actually look at it. MCain is proof that being a veteran doesn't automatically make you pro-veteran, and Obama proves that you don't have to be a veteran yourself to be in their corner.
Can't wait to see Obama clean Mccain's clock at the presidental debates he's clearly dreading to go to. It's time to put an end to the double talker and hockey mom bullshit.
It's hard to see veterans around my age and younger. During my students days I learned a lot of about the Vietnam War and about the returnees...it's so unbelievably sad that is happening all over again.
But here is hope with Obama. He respects the American people. I trust Obama will always act with the American peoples best interests at heart. I can't say the same for McCain
We all want to live in a secure and free world and I don't think "shooting from the hip" is the way to go about that.
Let's finish the fight against the fascistic Taliban in Afghanistan and let's finally end the fascistic theocratic forces who want to run the new Iraq!
Let's not abandon our secularist pro-American Iraqi allies either!
