Exactly.

Had McCain had the funds to present a 30-minute primetime commercial, based on the behavior we've repeatedly seen from his campaign of late, it would have been a 30-minute Obamabashfest. We wouldn't have heard anything specific about anything other than why we should all hate Obama.

On the other hand, Obama presented issues and plans to resolve them, for 30-minutes straight, without once negatively representing his opposition.

The commerical was fantastic and was something that almost everyone could relate or emphathize with, It only made be prouder to be voting for Obama.

I've never been so impressed by a candidate who is this remarkable. Would John Kerry or Al Gore bothered to create an ad like this?

Awesome! I think it's time to begin to start concentrating on the future,& to also begin to ignore all the NEGITIVE BS. Time for this country to pull together & end all the division.

I agree. I really liked when they were talking about him reading with his daughters and then showed that other father reading to his daughter. We all really want the best for our families, whether you are Senator Obama or the line worker at Ford.
