That's not what I said. Each candidate spends their money as they choose.

He probably doesn't want to draw attention to her from the media because she may have been present when he was born in Kenya.

Sour grapes. For sure.
There is a strong implication that he did not receive the same amount because the people do not support him as much, you know that is NOT why his campaign has less money, right?

Thanks for the emotional rant. Was there a point to it?

It is a little funny to ask folks here what they thought as "we" are not the group that ad was targeting. "we" as in most of us who lurk on this part of the forum are for better or worse politik's who keep up with the daily dish of political fan fare. I am willing to bet that most people here in this area of the forum are aware of more tid bits about both campaigns than are about 90% of the rest of America.

Those who oppose Obama will likely go on and on and tell you what a horrific piece of propaganda it was.

For those who support Obama, it will likely be an inspirational piece that many will save on a VHS tape or go download the DVD for posterity.

However the ad was targeting those folks who get 100% of their news from TV, those folks who haven't heard of all the tid bits we have. I would suggest folks who support and detract from Obama to watch it again with a bit more objectivity and look at the key features such as locations filmed, types of people, racial make up, age groups, what portions of information were applied to each demographic, etc... and actually analyze the thing instead. Might just learn something in order to improve the next campaign.

No we know a socialist when we see one. If you want money don't look for a hand out, get a job. And as long as there are help wanted ads, and there are, there are jobs to had.

I'm sick of this I deserve something for nothing mentality I didn't take you Democrats to raise. Hope for the future DOES NOT lie in the hands of Obama the end of America does. All Obama wants to do is give hand outs and he'll give with one hand and take with the other and what will he take ... your freedom. Nothing in life is free not even a government check.

When the government controls your money they'll control your world.


Think about it.

Default My vote is for McCain

I thought it was a waste of money that could have been sent to the middle class instead of trying to buy his way into the Whitehouse!

Plus he not once mentioned his real ties to all his terrorists friends, racist friends. Or the fact that he will indeed raise our taxes!!

I'm voting for McCain!!

See my post on the previous page. Democrats McDermott and Miller support a proposal to seize everyone's 401k to create Government Retirement Accounts, where instead of investing in the market, you invest in government bonds that only pay 3% over inflation. They also state it will be a required program for all employees that will cost them 5% of their paycheck. Nice tax hike for everyone! It's Social Security #2.
