Barack Obama's Multi-Million Dollar Infomercial

Politics | Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 4:58:10 pm PDT

It’s the biggest ad buy in presidential campaign history, and it begins at 8pm on almost every channel in the universe. You already know what The One is going to say; we all do. Don’t expect any surprises.

We’re going to try to count the number of times the words “hope” and “change” are spoken or printed on screen. It may be impossible to keep up. A drinking game would be a bad idea; everyone would be under the table in the first five minutes.

Notice to All Employees

As of November 5, 2008, if Obama is elected into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:

1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are underachieving a 'fair shake.'

2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves. This will help those who are 'too busy for overtime' to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.

3. All top management will now be referred to as 'the government.' We will not participate in this 'pooling' experience because the law doesn't apply to us.

4. The 'government' will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard 'for the good of all.'

5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it's 'good to spread the wealth.' Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more 'patriotic.'

6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't feel bad though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flat screen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?) !

If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on November 4th.

Of course, the obvious question would be...

Why would he spend millions on the longest political advertisement in history if the election was a slam dunk, no question about it, so far ahead people will riot if he loses, why bother even voting if your are a Republican, landslide of a victory that even Reagan would be jealous of.

His idea of freezing mortgages for 90 days is absolutely fatuous. It just postpones the inevitable, because when ALL those foreclosed houses hit the market after 90 days of being frozen in time, values are going to plummet and banks are going to be left with 0 liquidity.

Of course, the obvious question would be...

Why would he spend millions on the longest political advertisement in history if the election was a slam dunk, no question about it, so far ahead people will riot if he loses, why bother even voting if your are a Republican, landslide of a victory that even Reagan would be jealous of.

From the sycophantic media's point of view, you would think they would wonder why he was doing it.

Christ could, but didn't want to turn us all into automatons with no ability to do anything but the best. The virtues are not virtuous if compelled. Only when one has the ability to choose vice (and some vices look very nice) are virtues virtuous.

Barack's ego is big enough that he has no problem with enslaving the world to the dictates of his will. His will is the ultimate Hegelian synthesis.

No dust is allowed anywhere on the television or television stand as that is a sign of disrepect to the Dear Leader.

Block captains will be inspecting each home between 7:30 and 8:00 to insure compliance. Those not in compliance will be given the opportunity to joyfully comply.

Violations will be reward with a 5 year stay in State run spas provided by the Dear Leader or until the miscreants attitudes have adopted a proper adoration of The Dear Leader.

That is all, enjoy tonight's pronouncement from The Dear Leader, with rejoicing and gratitude of his magnificent beneficences.

It amuses my contrary nature to read things written in the past that could not now be written.

This little memo caught my eye. Does anyone seriously believe that such a document could pass muster with today's politicians?

Does that bother you?

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.--We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Note that I use a Chicago institution for my own purposes. Kinda like Obadin themselves.

Now folks, you may argue with those old boy's idea of proper upper case usage. You may feel that they drone on and on when a simple "We Quit" would have sufficed. But really, every now and again, when you're not to terribly busy with day-to-day life, reread a Golden Oldie. You might just discover a nugget previously overlooked.

From what I understand (and please, if this is wrong, and someone can source it, by all means, I will concede), he went from childhood in Mercer Island (posh suburb of Seattle, actually an island in the middle of Lake Washington full of rich people) to some time in Kenya, to a great deal of time with his G'Ma (typical white person) in Hawai'i. His G'Ma who just happened to be the VP of the largest bank in Hawai'i. Not that I begrudge him his very well-to-do upbringing, just saying he wasn't ever exactly a "salt-of-the-earth" type.

I pray not.

The foundations laid by the Comintern, CPUSA, and a host of other Marxists organizations have come to fruition. For decades they've focused on infiltrating education and media, a fellow by the name of Reagan delayed their plans for entertainment. Those years of diligent work by dedicated and true believing fellow travelers is close to paying off.

When I was a wee lass, I disliked Jimmy Carter as President because he would always have press conferences on the nights the holiday cartoon specials - Rudolph, Charlie Brown, Bugs Bunny - were on, and would talk so long that the network would cancel the special. I voted for Reagan in my school election.

Obama delaying the World Series reminds me of that.

Cartoons were hard to come by in those days—just a few hours on Saturday morning and perhaps 30 minutes after school, if you were lucky. I forgot about this proclivity of his until you jabbed a stick in the eye of my childhood pain—would this man ever quit talking? Apparently, no.

American Pie

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they�d be happy for a while.

But february made me shiver
With every paper I�d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn�t take one more step.

I can�t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.

So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye
Singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die.
"this�ll be the day that I die."

Did you write the book of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock �n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you�re in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin� in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.

I was a lonely teenage broncin� buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.

I started singin�,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye
And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die.
"this�ll be the day that I die."

Now for ten years we�ve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin� stone,
But that�s not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,

Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.

We were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye
And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die.
"this�ll be the day that I die."

Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.

Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil�s only friend.

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan�s spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

He was singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye
And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die.
"this�ll be the day that I die."

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I�d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn�t play.

And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy

I was walking into a beer store at almost exactly 8:00. Stocking up for the show Tuesday night. When I got back home at 8:40 and logged on my history shows that my wife must have made our final payment to Disney for our Christmas vacation. Damn I love being a comfortable clinger.

I get the feeling for whatever reason that Obama has never been struck nor had to strike someone else square in the chops.

btw...I couldn't stomach watching him tonight. From what I gather he basically regurgitated everything he's been saying, like a sleazy car salesman. I feel for the people who got ambushed by it whilst trying to watch a game. It's like, "MAN, I just can't get AWAY from this guy!"

re: #282 Charles

That was it? He spent 75 gazillion bucks for that?

I can see why he did. This will be the story for the next 24-48 hours, and then we go into the weekend with him presumably leading in the polls. It adds to the narrative that he has this election sewn up. Running that much time off the clock was worth every penny in his position.

It also underscores why something like this made little to no sense for Senator McCain.

453 Capitalistincharge  Wed, Oct 29, 2008 6:04:02pm

I haven't read through all the comments here but I did watch the infomercial and here is my impression if anyone gives a crud. I tried to keep an open mind but good grief...
I was turned off by all the cry babies. I thought as I was watching this, yea, life sucks sometimes but we work our way out of it. What, they want people to identify with these folks and agree on their victim status?
And the old folks having trouble with medical bills....at 72 they qualify for medicare/medicaide for chrisssake. Why wasn't that mentioned or the assistance with drug programs.

So much of his policy as he stated it is contrary to what he has been preaching all along. It's as though he left out all the but's. (I'm going to rebuild the military, but first we are going to reduce funding and shut down programs and rebuild it smaller.) Scary to think that he can so willfully mislead.

I swear I heard him say "tap the National Oil Reserve" but not once said we are going to drill here for more. So we empty the Reserve and then what? Huh, What?!

In summary, it was a very down infomercial. Instead of celebrating what is great about America and pointing out how he's going to make it better, he pretty much pointed out all that is wrong and did everything but put on a crown and cape and assure us he was gonna save all our sorry butts. God Save America. Too many people are feeling too sorry for themselves.

Lastly, he began to give me the creeps. His ego and manipulative personality are astounding.

re: #343 Perplexed

He was conscripted and a draft dodger.

I am not familiar with that, nor could I find any details on that aspect. I did find Wickipedia of course -

Hitler served in France and Belgium in the 16th Bavarian Reserve Regiment (called Regiment List after its first commander), ending the war as a Gefreiter (equivalent at the time to a lance corporal in the British and American armies). He was a runner, the most dangerous job on the Western Front, and was often exposed to enemy fire.[20] He participated in a number of major battles on the Western Front, including the First Battle of Ypres, the Battle of the Somme, the Battle of Arras and the Battle of Passchendaele.[21]

Hitler was twice decorated for bravery. He received the Iron Cross, Second Class, in 1914 and Iron Cross, First Class, in 1918, an honour rarely given to a Gefreiter

When & where did that draft-dodging take place - got a link?
Hadn't heard of that. Of course I'm not a fan of Hitler or the draft, so it makes no difference to me.

OK, I'm catching a snippet from O's infomercial on Hannity & Colmes. Did y'all notice he said I'll cut taxes for every working family under $200,000? What happened to the $250,000 for individuals? (no mention of that). I know he was trying to argue the difference between families and individuals, but it looks like this is the new *magic number* for everyone. I can't keep up with his and Plugs changing numbers.

I agree with Hannity. Well scripted but poorly executed. I think BO did not help himself at all. He is trying to appeal to the undecided. I guarntee you bored them to death. Or-- they saw how smug he was and are turned off.

He was to register for the draft in Austria. He went to Germany to avoid the draft. Austria put out a warrant for his arrest. He came back and the rest is history. Saw that a few months ago on the History Channel.

Yeah but - references? -I might find it - but maybe you remember.
Besides - if he wound up in battle - his past issues with Austria are irrelevant to my point.

468 capitalist piglet  Wed, Oct 29, 2008 6:17:09pm

I didn't watch, but all day, I've been thinking that this could very well be a mistake on Obama's part. Karl Rove said today that this was designed to make him look presidential, to surround himself with the trappings of the Office - much the way he tried to do it with his appearance in Germany.

Rove then mentioned what I have been thinking.

My instincts tell me that Americans have had just about enough of this guy being on television and radio every fifteen minutes, and they already think they know what he's about. It just feels like the kind of thing that is going to make Americans think he's just plain in their faces too much.

His "followers" will love it, but I doubt anyone else will. This could backfire.

One last thought: That reggae thing, the "Barack Obama be thy name" thing is just so damned creepy - the "worship him" 'tude around the world is starting to really weird me out.
