Obama infomercial tonight

[tiznow]

curious to see if this will backfire and polling margins will come down after

seems like overkill to me personally and could rub some fence sitters the wrong way

who knows

not that i really care anyway just a random thought :drink:

It could bounce either way. It's an economic infomerical. I think it could bounce either way. I"m sure if McCain had that kinda war chest he'd come up with a counter ad the next day.

Ross Perot did it too remember? Didn't really hurt him.

 

[cussin'it]

Not at all,,,remember there are a lot of our fellow Americans who only focus on this shit when we near the end.

Think it's a very savy play, and it will end up helping him even more.

IF he comes across as "presidential"

JMHO

 

[tiznow]

ross perot different

he's was fighting the establishment so informercial type shit more acceptable to the average joe voter

obama is part of the establishment and flauting his money IMO

who knows he's probably still winning anyway

obviously this was pre planned etc and they can't drop it

but if i knew i was gonna have this lead a week before elections i wouldn't bother with it

basically i'm saying if he does lose the event that will be pointed to as to why is this infomercial most likely

 

[rza]

overkill - if he mentions raising taxes it could hurt him. the democrats just refuse to learn the lesson that the idea of raising taxes is not going to get them votes...ever.

 

[cussin'it]

What I've seen so far is brilliant (from a political and sales background).

He's closing the deal.

 

[SportSavant]

good commercial... im buyin

 

[3peet]

wow MSNBC played it live here on the Westcoast. LOL..the right wants no part of tonight

 

[3peet]

LOL..just watched the informerical. You know Hannity, Oreilly, and Limbaugh are gonna exhaust, Ayers, Wright, Socialist from here till Tuesday night. If Hannity loses his cool, he'll call Obama and Terrorist and Communist just to say, "Fuck it! If' were losing i'm going down swinging!"

....i wouldn't be surprised

 

[D2bets]

Did Obama mention McCain even once in the 30 minutes?

 

[gtc08]

no

Didn't need to. This was intended to connect to the regular folks and put a positive foot forward....anything McPalin would have been negative.

Fucking brilliant IMO.

 

[Buster]

would have been funny if billy mays walked across the screen or the sham wow guy...heheheheeeeeeee

That was nothing more than an actor reading a script someone else wrote.

What for? All I know is that infomercial looked mighty Presidential and damn American to me. Brilliant work!

 

[RobFunk]

Incredibly well produced stuff. Whole thing was good. I thought it would just be Obama reading a script at a desk the whole time. But damn, what a show.

oh..you mean his campaign policy or his life story? Not sure why he'd need someone to write that for him. Cause thats what he talked about. Other than that, it was segments of American families sharing their stories with Barack.

What else ya got Paddy?

I could only stomach about 45 seconds of it before I turned it.

 

[3peet]
