Incendiary New Ad Attacks Obama's "Wrong Values"
CBS News' Michelle Levi reports that a PAC called Our Country Deserves Better is now running an ad that is essentially a compilation of most of the character and association attacks made against Barack Obama throughout the year.
The ad, "Obama's Wrong Values," began running Sunday night in Reno, Nevada and has since expanded across the state. The group plans to air the spot in Colorado starting tomorrow and run it in Michigan – where McCain has pulled his advertising – by the end of the week.
According to a PAC spokesman, the group has already spent just under $100,000 in Nevada and Colorado to run the spot. The group said its budget in Michigan is "$500,000 or higher." It said it has plans to expand to Ohio and Pennsylvania, adding that its funding comes largely from a large number of small donors.
The anti-Obama group says it is kicking off a two week "Stop Obama Tour," which will include rallies, starting tomorrow.
According to its web site, the group has one objective: "to defeat Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election."
They promise they "won’t be subtle or vague - America’s future is at stake, and it’s time someone stood up to Barack Obama and told the American people why this man cannot, and must not, serve as our next Commander-in-Chief."
The 30 second spot opens with a narrator saying "Barack Obama seems to have different values from most Americans." As he says this, the Democratic nominee is spotlighted without his hand on his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance.
"His supporters put up Cuban flags with the murderous leftist Che Guevara in Obama's campaign offices," the narrator continues. "Obama's campaign received $33,000 in illegal donations from Palestinians living in the Middle East. A top official of the terrorist group Hamas endorsed Obama's campaign. And who can forget these hateful sermons from Obama's pastor of over 20 years."
At this point, Rev. Jeremiah Wright is shown saying "God Damn America."

God help us to defeat our enemies that are amoung us, so we can be strong enough to defeat those that are not.

You have eaten more than you produced, spent more than you made, and sold "products" that didn''t actually exist.
Just sitting here, laughing.

Roger that! This is So Obvious folks! Redistribute the profits of businesses already hurting=lose jobs.....big time.
But if you are in government, what are you worried about Joe Public''s job? Maybe the unemployed employee who used to work for a prosperous business can get a job with a new government program, like the poverty wages of the americorps positions? or some other new "created" by tax dollars job that pays little, is temporary and is part of a bigger number so that a promising politician can look good?

I agree with this. I urge people to look deeper at Obama. It may take a while since there is a discernible "sheen" around his ''messiah'' like persona that people have conveyed upon him. (check out obamamessiahblogspot) He is "representing" a lot to different folks, and at the end of the day, he is just a man, in fact, a consummate politician, which usually is NOT for the people...
Please learn about Acorn and how Fannie Mae/Freddy Mac officials were allowed to intimidate Congress to stop their efforts to hold them accountable while on the take. Check out Obama''s finanical advisors....(shudder) we should not want the TEAM he is forming to get into our tax dollars!...Obama is one of those who profited. He did not deny it during the last debate..Acorn will be held accountable eventually, and it won''t be just by Congress. Stealing is stealing...whether from the poor, the middle class, or the rich.
