Americans have been hurting financially so much, that just knowing someone like Barack Obama really cares about the needs of the middle class is truly a blessing. As I watch the GOP on TV flailing and screaming “no, please, no,” I can not see what they think they will lose that we haven’t lost already due to the GOP’s actions in the last 8 years. And to keep trying to smear Barack and convince people who can plainly see what they are doing of some sinister plan is ridiculous. The inspirational commerical just reminded me that we are ready to change history and make the lives of middle class Americans better.

Get some therapy Gloria. We’re voting for a President, not the next Messiah that the media packages for us. To Slick Willie, looks like we can now add Oozing Obama, America. I can’t wait. For the next 4 years, with a democratic controlled Congress, with the filibuster proof Senate, we’ll get to listen to them all still blame Bush for everything, because that’s what they do. No wonder our enemies love Obama.

I was a very small girl when JFK was the President. I remember the day we lost him, and I remember all the years afterward watching his speeches and seeing glimpses of one of our most inspirational Presidents in history. I looked for years in our political leaders for that same quality of dignity, leadership, and hope and never saw it until I saw Barack Obama speak years ago. I am glad that in my lifetime I am witness to such an inspirational leader, and devoted servant to the American people. God bless America, and God Bless Barack Obama! In a world lacking in hope I think we have in Barack Obama the promise of a new day.

I did not here details I was expecting data information about what he was going to do how he would accomplish something . I saw this on my wife soap opera she tevoid yesterday. show me how he was going to lead this country absolutely nothing no substance. Rather then show you a canned tv-fomercial how bad off the country is. Or just come to Detroit and see the devastation I can show you areas that would make you think you were in New Orleans 2 days after Katrina. Detroit has been that way since the 60s In my life In Chicago last year there were more Murders then in Iraq.
I called this economy back in 95 when someone was in the office. I though the money could have been spent on helping out the poor in my area. or Chicago let him put his money where his mouth is
let s complain about how much money he spent Palins wardrobe 150.000 huh why is the media not attacking him on that 3 mil

His associations may or may not mean anything, but his words are profound. This infomercial left me with more questions than answers.
In addition to “spread the wealth”, Obama says he will give tax credits to employers who hire workers here in America. Notice he does not say “Americans”. “Workers in America” covers a lot of ground. Illegal immigramnts and immigrants working under H-1B visas are workers in America. As for health care, it’s the same. He doesn’t say all Americans or all citizens will get health care, hes says “Anyone” without health insurance will be covered. Again, anyone is too broad a term. If the infomercial is his closing argument, it’s not convincing. This juror has more questions about Obama’s intentions. I’ve asked these questions numerous times over the past six months on his campaign website, but never got any answers.

I have to say that it was brilliantly put together. I’m an independent voter who made my decision a long time ago on who to vote for…and I have to say I got surprisingly emotional during it. The last part was great. Love him or hate him…he has a run a really good campaign and he spent his money wisely as far as advertising goes.
