Aiemond on 17 September 2008

Here is a link to the new Obama 2 min ad:

http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/09/in_twominute_ad_obama_directly.php

Aslo, a link to his economic plans

barackobama.com/plan

 

I think everyone should take a look before they say that obama has no plans at all.

Very ballsy move. I can't even think of a politician who has done this before. I heard about this on NPR earlier.

Its a very good ad too, totally straightforward, and not at all condescending. I think this will do a lot of good for Obama if he runs it in the right places.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

Can't see the vid. I'll post it.

Two minutes of Obama with the Camera.



In the past few weeks, Wall Street's been rocked as banks closed and markets tumble. But for many of you -- the people I've met in town halls, backyards and diners across America -- our troubled economy isn't news. 600,000 Americans have lost their jobs since January. Paychecks are flat and home values are falling. It's hard to pay for gas and groceries and if you put it on a credit card they've probably raised your rates. You're paying more than ever for health insurance that covers less and less.

This isn't just a string of bad luck. The truth is that while you've been living up to your responsibilities Washington has not. That's why we need change. Real change. This is no ordinary time and it shouldn't be an ordinary election. But much of this campaign has been consumed by petty attacks and distractions that have nothing to do with you or how we get America back on track.

Here's what I believe we need to do. Reform our tax system to give a $1,000 tax break to the middle class instead of showering more on oil companies and corporations that outsource our jobs. End the "anything goes" culture on Wall Street with real regulation that protects your investments and pensions.

Fast track a plan for energy 'made-in-America' that will free us from our dependence on mid-east oil in 10 years and put millions of Americans to work. Crack down on lobbyists -- once and for all -- so their back-room deal-making no longer drowns out the voices of the middle class and undermines our common interests as Americans. And yes, bring a responsible end to this war in Iraq so we stop spending billions each month rebuilding their country when we should be rebuilding ours.

Doing these things won't be easy. But we're Americans. We've met tough challenges before. And we can again.

I'm Barack Obama. I hope you'll read my economic plan. I approved this message because bitter, partisan fights and outworn ideas of the left and the right won't solve the problems we face today. But a new spirit of unity and shared responsibility will.



I like Obama, but not everything there is great.

Well, you can agree or disagree but ya gotta admit... Obama's got big ones. Made of brass.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

More people should watch this vid, it is pretty good.

What, like flash hate messages about John McCain?

He talked super briefly about the most important issues in the upcoming election, and he spoke very straightforward, something the "straight talker" McCain doesn't do so much anymore.

There are things I dislike about both candidates, but there is so much wrong with John McCain and Sarah Palin that I can't not vote for Obama.

That's a respectable ad. Even if you don't agree with everything it says, at least it's not some ridiculous swiftboat ad. He gets some points for that.

MrBubbles hates it when politicians aren't lying to him or slandering each other. He thinks it is un-American

ok...time to point and laugh at jack layton.  id like to also point out that hes started emphasizing "new democrats" rather than just NDP because he thinks he can leech some of obamas popularity
