Good Obama Ad Using Debate Footage

It's really amazing how fast they can churn out ad's these days. Having worked in the industry I know there are some poor souls over at an ad agency that had to eat crappy pizza and drink coffee all night to get this done. Amazing.

Hmmmmmmmmm...

Bob Sheifer, tonights debate moderator, sure does seem to have an affinity towards John McCain. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that these two have spent quite a bit of time alone on the back of the No Talk Express. Look out for any bias tonight.



UPDATE: He did great! Not a hint of bias.

Obama Calls McSame a Chicken McCainugget

OOOOOOhhhhhh...here is the transcript of an Obama interview with "Charlie" Gibson:

IBSON: Change the subject for a moment. John McCain has unloaded on you in the last 72, 96 hours as has Sarah Palin. McCain is saying, essentially, we don’t know who Barack Obama is, where he came from. I’m an open book, he’s not.
OBAMA: Right.

GIBSON: Were you surprised, A, that he didn’t bring it up last night at the debate and use that line of attack? And, B, since you must have prepared for it, what were you going to say?

OBAMA: Well, I am surprised that, you know, we’ve been seeing some pretty over-the-top attacks coming out of the McCain campaign over the last several days that he wasn’t willing to say it to my face.

But I guess we’ve got one last debate. So presumably, if he ends up feeling that — that he needs to, he will raise it during the debate.

The notion that people don’t know who I am is a little hard to swallow. I’ve been running for president for the last two years. I’ve campaigned in 49 states. Millions of people have heard me speak at length on every topic under the sun. I’ve been involved now in 25 debates, going on my 26th. And I’ve written two books which any — everybody who reads them will say are about as honest a set of reflections by, at least, a politician as are out there.

So, you know, I think that, you know, Senator McCain’s campaign has been focusing on me primarily because they don’t want to focus on the economy. And they’ve said as much. I mean, you’ve had their spokespeople over the last couple of days say if we talk about the economic crisis, we lose.

I mean, you can’t be much more blatant than that. They want to change the subject. And I understand it because the fact is that John McCain has subscribed, for the most part, to the same economic philosophy as George Bush, the same economic philosophy that has governed over the last eight years and has helped to get us in this mess.

Homer Votes for Obama!

...and the electronic voting machine tries to kill him!

Sarah Silverman Working to Convince Florida Jews to go Obama!

Funny lady tackling a not so funny subject of elderly Jews in Florida literally holding the fate of our country in their hands while being so grossly mis-informed on Obama's views. Here is the full website. Silverman is one funny lady!

Great Article On Politicians View of Iran

For all his good qualities, Obama, like every other American politician in recent memory, soooooooo wants Iran to be a bad guy and sooooooo panders shamelessly to the Zionist lobby. False accusations that Iran wants Israel to disappear (false), they want to kill all the Jews (20k jews live in Iran and they have parliamentary representation), that they have an advanced nuclear program (false), and they think America is on the downturn in terms of it's power (true). So the end result: politicians pandering and spewing fire about how horrible Iran is. It is pure pandering to the Israeli lobby here in the United States that does not allow ANY criticism of the Zionist dominated Israeli government. Any criticism is met with accusations of at a minimum the messenger being anti-semetic or even worse being called a terrorist. Regular Americans have been brainwashed about the Israel-Palestine issue to a point that saying anything bad about Israel as a politician is toxic. A simple reading of history and current events should convince just about any un-biased observer that the real menace and aggressor here is Israel. Such a shame that Obama falls right into this trap. I have higher expectations for my politicians. In fact, it's exactly issues like these that made me vote for Nader the last two elections (let the hating on Nader being - sigh). Here's a great article from Salon speaking to this issue. Kudo's to Larry King for actually letting Ahmadinejad speak to some of the lies about his country. Granted, Ahmadinejad is no angel (blatant homophobic), but Iran is not what the mainstream media and politicians make it out to be. It would also be like people judging you and me by Bush - now that's scurry.

Why I Read British Newspapers

I read just about every liberal blog out there, the NY Times, The Chron for local news, Politico because of it's all politics format, AND the UK Guardian. Of all of them, I probably take the Guardian's positions most seriously. Even though blogs are helpful, they are often time American liberal rants - which is fine - but it's always good to get a foreign perspective on things. They just say things that NO American news outlet dare say. Par example: Great article calling Dems that won't vote for a black man regardless of politics what they are - RACIST. Good read.

You Have Got to be Kidding Me

Repugnicans have no shame. First McCain tried (somewhat successfully) to steal the "Change" mantle and now they're stealing the "Enough" mantle. They're basically plagiarizing the Obama message at every turn. They're stealing lines from speeches and making them theirs. How disingenuous is that? These people have no ideas - it's quite pathetic. The question is are some Americans stupid enough to fall for it - that scares me.

New Obama "Change" Ad

As promised, the campaign is taking back the "change" mantle more aggressively (see video below). I have full confidence that the Obama camp knows exactly what they're doing. The was I see this is McCain camp has been jabbing away, took one big swing with Palin and nicked Obama's chin stunning the campaign, but now I think Obama is going to swing back and nail the crap out of them - TKO baby! - but that requires the patience to find and opening...and I think that time is now.

Obama Counterpunch?

By all accounts, it sounds like Obama is planning a major shift in the attack line on McCain starting today. I like it already (see below). The video actually dates McCain, an obvious play on his age which has not been touched by Obama up until now. Time to make sure everybody in the US knows that this man is OLD and can croak any day now and leave Sarah Stalin in charge - now that's f-ing scary (MATT.....DAMON agrees). They are also apparently going to be attacking the "change" mantra that McCain has been trying to steal - he went there - now they're going to expose this phony for the "more of the McSame" that he is.

I have also seen what have been otherwise friendly to McCain reporters starting to call McCain the "spade" that he is. Here is an AP article and an NY Times article both calling McCain the phony that he is. The media is starting to turn on him. I envision a big drop off from the Palin high in the polls starting next week. Count me part of the optimists camp because I think Obama is going to squash McCain in November (Bill Clinton agrees).

Russell Simmons on HuffPost

I've always liked Russell Simmons for all he has done for REAL hip hop, his entrepreneurial spirit, and his overall consciousness that dwarfs most of the big names in hip hop. He's dope, and now I find that he's super articulate and kinda funny. Good post by him on Huffington Post today.

Wasting No Time!

It's truly impressive how quick responding the Obama camp is. Don't think I've ever seen this "time to market" on campaign ad's.



Here he is pounding on this! Go Obama! Kick this old mans arse!

Wish I Had This Problem!

With their mantra of lower taxes and moral posturing the Republicans have managed to convince poor uneducated people that they hold their best interests at heart. It has of course always been ironic that the Republicans, party of the rich, have always been able to successfully characterize Democrats as out of touch latte sipping snobs. Par example, the Republicans have been beating up on Obama, a self made man that worked really hard to get to where he is, for his taste for arugula. GASP!!! ARUGULA! Elitist! Real people don't eat arugula! Only foreign freedom fry hating people eat arugula. Of course this is patently ridiculous. Everybody should eat arugula, especially on top of thin crust California Kitchen type pizza's. Now, these are the arguments coming from an uber wealthy guy that now it seems can't seem to remember how many homes he has. If a candidate who thinks having 3 million dollars in your bank account is middle class and owns more homes than he count is playing the Democrats are snobs card, well I just don't know how much more calling the kettle black you get. The Democrats have a HUGE opening here and I hope they pounce on it. Sounds like Obama already is:

"Campaigning in Chester, Va., Obama told voters, "I guess if you think being rich means you've got to make $5 million and if you don't know how many houses you have, it's not surprising you might think the economy is fundamentally strong." He returned to the McCain remark later, saying of teachers: "Most teachers hold themselves accountable. They didn't go into teaching to make money. They don't have seven houses."

Only Celebrities Take Their Shirts Off and Body Surf

McCain campaign release:

You know you may just be a global celebrity when you get this headline in Reuters, "Obama Takes Shirt Off Again, Goes Body Surfing In Hawaii."

Man, these guys are desperate. Guess anybody that takes their shirt off or bodysurf's is now a celebrity. Like this guy:

Lies, More Lies and More Lies!

Jerome Corsi, author of a totally bogus and discredited book about about John Kerry "Unfit for Command", has just come out with a book called "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality" which is full of re-hashed internet rumors and other falsehoods subtly peddled by the main stream media. The shocking thing about this piece of FICTION is that it is at the top of the New York Times Bestseller List. This is of course is not surprising since anything as sensationally inflammatory about a candidate is bound to sell a lot of books. Or...is it (see right)? There are plenty of books that are NON-FICTION about McCain that have come out that have received zero media attention. In fact, I am told that this book is a pretty lengthy and factually accurate depiction of McCain's many lies flip flops, his closeness with Bush, the affairs he's had, how he ditched his handicapped wife and left her to anonymity, The Keating Five scandal (surprised why this never comes up), amongst many other things that things you have don't to make up from spooling the internet and reading KKK newletter's. It should be the media's job to report on FACTS, not rumors, and there are plenty of facts about John McCain that should make him uncomfortable. Why authors that peddle lies and why these lies get air is beyond me? Anyways, I'm not really worried about this book. It will simply give more fodder for people that were going to vote for McCain anyways and the truth is that anybody that can actually read is probably voting for Obama anyways. If you're interested in actually hearing the truth as it relates to this waste of paper Corsi calls a book, then check out the Obama camps step by step lengthy rebuttal.

This is a few weeks old but it's still pretty damn funny:

Another putrid video from McSame

Does this guy have no shame? This is the kind of putrid politics that makes me sick. What makes me more sick is that 45%+ of the people in this country will vote for him. What makes me even more sick is that McJackAss wears $500 Ferregamo loafers and has the nerve to call Obama uppity.
