Comments on: Obama Infomercial: Smart Or Overkill?

Politico: Strategy Could Backfire If 30-Minute Multi-Network Airtime Is Seen As Excessive

[tonic12345]

Everything Obama has done has been smart , the infomercial will be no different.

[ljb6599]

Barak Obama will the president for the next 8 years.Republicans out there get used to it!!

Anybody can be inspiring when they tell you what you want to hear. But much harder when you have to face the facts.

Yeah! My family cannot wait. We rushed home from our jobs to watch this event. He is inspiring. Even my kids have been riveted to the campaign.

[silver1237]

Obams is a millionaire, has lots and lot''s of money.
Funny thing all his close relatives, brothers, aunts and uncles live in slums, looks like he really spread the wealth around. If he would treat his own family that way just think of the way he will treat the American People. WOW and you would vote for him???

I heard a question posed yesterday on a non-Fox news show. They said Obama is hitting multiple cities simultaneously with the help of Joe Biden, Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. Why doesn''t McCain do the same?

My Thoughts:
Cindy McCain is a stepford wife who is stumped for a replay to someone saying "hello". Sarah is needed to draw the crowd for McCain, and there is no other past or present Republican President, Vice President or Congressman they are willing to risk sharing a podium with.

Now that is a SAD state of affairs.

[longtree-2009]

the infomercial can''t hurt as anyone can choose not to watch it. it does take a chunk out of his campaign money chest but that is the only downside. people are still donating to his campaign. people can donate to the mccain campaign by giving to the rnc and hope they spend it well.

OneAmerican7, Obama - unprecedented, intelligent, appealing. McCain - McLame, McSame has run the most deceptive and shallow campaign I have ever seen. He doesn''t know what the truth is.

My six uncles survived WWII as (fighting) servicemen.
They told me that you are supposed to ''die'' for your country not sell it out.

I don''''''''t think so! A website used by Al Qaeda came out in favor of McCain -- seems they believe he helps their recruiting.

I bet Osama Bin Laden is rooting for the Rebublicans. After all, it''s the party who have allowed him to live since 9-11.

Joins John McCain and Sarah Palin rehashing refuted claims and baseless assertions.

---"he has, on occasion, shown a weakness for extravagance"---

Speaking of over the top, I wouldn''t be surprised if the rerun of Paris Hilton''s BFF pulls in better ratings than some of the cable channels showing Barack''s attempt at reality tv. Because an infomercial isn''t the appropriate time to be laying out serious policy discussion, is it? So what''s he going to show?

(1)Unprecedented media promotion and protection.
(2)Unprecedented sums of campaign money.
number (1) is caused by number (2). The people must like him.

(3)Unprecedented broken promises of campaign finance reform.
How can he? He isn''t in office yet.

(4)Unprecedented inexperience for the office.
Every first time president is Inexperienced

(5)Unprecedented ties to criminals and terrorists.
Look at Ford, his boss was run out of office for criminal acts
(6)Unprecedented associations to voter fraud groups.
Unprovable

(7)Unprecedented capitulation to America''''s enemies.
Flat oout lie

(8)Unprecedented arrogance.
This is a crime? It''s not arrogance if you know you are a winner.

(9)Unprecedented lack of good judgment.
As pertaining to what??? He is human after all.

(10)Unprecedented lurch towards a Socialist dictatorship.
Nope, the Bushes beat him to that.

I''''m going to watch President Obama speak, then I''''m going to play my tape of Sarah Palin''''s interviews with Katie Couric and laugh my A## off!!! :-)

I heard Bill Clinton may join Obama tonight during his half hour commercial.

Only one candidate having the on-air support of a former President doesn''t seem fair.

I know how we can make this right: lets give John McCain a half hour commercial to spend on air with George Bush Jr. He can invite D i c k Cheney too for all we care. That should even thing up.

Believe me, if Obama gets elected, there will be dancing in the streets of the Middle East just like after 9/11.

That''s the difference you see when someone delivers a speech and someone does an interview........there is no comparison.

I''''m actually curious. I hope I have an epiphany and he blows me away.

I keep waiting for something like that to happen, but everytime I get close to saying "I can vote for Obama", I see him on inaguration day, all his old friends and the leaders of the Democrat party in back of him smiling and waving, Obama apologizing to the world for how bad we are, and the Middle East throwing the biggest party you ever saw,......and I end up saying I can''t vote for him.
