Obama infomercial/propaganda ploy

Pretty well done, actually.

Not likely to change anyone's vote, but if you were already drinking that flavor Kool-Aid, I can see why you'd be ready to gulp it down by the pitcher full after that effort.

The guy has got smoove game. He's going after everybody with the resonating message of "I feel your pain". Quite effectively, I might add. He's taken the current economic crisis and reshaped his "message" around it.

It's all about the economy, stupid. Now where have I heard that before?

The Clinton economy benefitted greatly from the "dot com" bubble, which quickly burst after he left office and left the economy in shambles. That, followed by 9/11, led to a recession.

W's housing bubble burst just a little too soon to benefit his legacy, but the next will have to deal with the fall-out. Just like W had to deal with the above mentioned.

So what will the next President's bubble consist of?

I'm guessing energy. Wind, solar, bio-fuels, "clean" coal and new nuclear plants will take off into the stratosphere and get the economy back to prior levels... until the inevitable next crash occurs.

In the meantime, I welcome the new messiah.

Your disposable income, redistributed to a variety of "workers" in new Government programs, pet projects, and potentially an escalated military conflict somewhere.

The Obama Garden Weasel Infomercial wasn't on my station here.
You can fill me in on the particulars if'n you like, Wagon.

I picture B.O. firing up a Marlboro at the end and asking the American people if it was as good for them as it was for him.

It started out with some really compelling human interest stories about folks having a tough time making ends meet. You know, "Too much month at the end of the money" country music type stuff.

Then it went on about some old lady who takes 12 different prescription drugs per day and her 72 year old husband had to come out of retirement to go work at Wal-Mart so they could afford the $4 co-pays for her rheumatoid arthritis and heart palpitations.

Just heartbreaking stuff. I kept waiting to see how it was we were going to feed Africa and cure the AIDS virus, but 30 minutes of network TV and 600 million dollars in campaign cash only goes so far, you know.

I'm pretty sure that he promised a college education and free health care to all, though. And all without raising taxes, 'cept it seems that pesky little bar of 250k per year income went down to 200k when I wasn't looking. I think he called it a sliding scale.

You get the picture.

I didn't see the infomercial.

What does "country music type stuff" sound like? Just curious.

So we see what happens to you when you are old if you spent your entire life figuring on that gubmint pension and medicare.

Yeah, that looks pretty sweet.

Now show us the other 72 year old dude. The one that spent 40 years building his own portfolio.

So Obama's answer? More gubmint solutions and jack up the cap gains rate?

[guinness commercial old dudes] Brilliant! [/guinness commercial old dudes]

And save your bullshit about how that guy got fukked this month. Markets go up. They go down. In the long run they go up way more than your fictional SS fund.

I watched Mr. Obama's appeal to the nation last night and was moved by it. It soldified in my mind to vote for him for President of the United States on November 5th. He's the right man for the job at this point in our history. He represents an inclusive rather than exclusive philosophy and will help to bring along many millions of Americans who have been left behind in the American dream. I have nothing against Mr. McCain and think he might do a good job too if given the chance. But only one man cann take that office. Mr. Obama has proven his worth in my mind.

I have a miserable life and wish I were dead!

I will vote for Obama on the 4th, and for McCain on the 5th.

You're right, we do: You're a ignorant, gibbering fucktard with a seventh grade education who would be better off serving society by decaying at the bottom of the Mississippi River, feeding those bottom feeding aquatic animals who scrounge the base of tributaries for food. You're the kind of idiot who falls for the fraud and hypocrisy of the McCain ticket and puts trivial bullshit above the REAL issues of this campaign. Of course, Whitey Faggon and millions of his "persecutin'" ilk exercised their persecutin' and that's why the nation and its economy is in the absolute shitter it is.

Go drink a fifth and drive into a concrete median, you worthless fucking cum-dumpster.

great news, Exxon Mobil broke the record for the biggest profit in the history of the United States during the third quarter of the year...Shell profits were only up 22%, but maybe they can make it up in the fourth quarter...the remarkable thing is they did it at a time of one of the worst economic conditions this country has seen...rack their fantabulous management and rack all of those that hold Exxon and Shell stock in their portfolios

obviously the tax breaks are working.....how long do you suppose it will take for all that profit to start "trickling-down"....

Who knows, might have started already. Reinvesting in the corporation, R&D efforts, hiring more lobbyists to ply politicians to get laws and regs relaxed so more refineries can be built, drilling in Alaska and offshore. A host of things a corporation can do with profit. They might even sponsor a scholarship program or three to help kids go to college.

I know if my tax burden were alleviated and enabled me to have 100 to 200 more a month, there's a lot of work I need to get done in the house and stuff. Once I'm done paying off all my creditors - the more I have in my pockets, the more I can do to make my families life better and the lives of those around me better by contributing to charitable organization that know what they're doing and actually care about what they're doing.

That's what I love about freedom of choice. Liberty, to take what I earn and do what I choose with it. What a wonderful country.

According to that, they paid somewhere around 32,510 Million in total taxes.

They're probably hiding some of their revenue in silly things like scholarshps and grants to help kids go to school though, those sneaky greedy bastards.

Or rather their consumers did which is the main reason why taxing corporations makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and why only dumbfucks like you and thieves like On...igger favor punitive corporate taxation.

And you can't post a link to counter it, which is certainly something you could do, and make a fool out of mvscal in the process, which would appear to be all the motivation you'd need to do so...

Except you can't.

Palin's administration last week gained legislative approval for a special $1,200 payment to every Alaskan to help cope with gas prices, which are among the highest in the country.

hold er newt, correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't this sort of "spreading the wealth" been one of the things McCain/Palin have been railing on over the last few weeks?
