Obama’s First General Election Ad

Well produced. Much better than the McCain ads if you ask me.

It’s supposed to start running in Ohio tomorrow.

The script:

OBAMA: I’m Barack Obama.

America is a country of strong families and strong values. My life’s been blessed by both.

I was raised by a single mom and my grandparents. We didn’t have much money, but they taught me values straight from the Kansas heartland where they grew up. Accountability and self-reliance. Love of country. Working hard without making excuses. Treating your neighbor as you’d like to be treated. It’s what guided me as I worked my way up - taking jobs and loans to make it through college.

It’s what led me to pass up Wall Street jobs and go to Chicago instead, helping neighborhoods devastated when steel plants closed.

That’s why I passed laws moving people from welfare to work, cut taxes for working families and extended health care for wounded troops who’d been neglected.

I approved this message because I’ll never forget those values, and if I have the honor of taking the oath of office as President, it will be with a deep and abiding faith in the country I love.

You mean the ad that makes it sound like he’s running as a Democrat? LOL. It’s a bizarre one. All fast paced, then the slow political music with soothing female voiceover:

You gotta like their attempt to capture the MTV youth vote by doing a version of cribs:

“We bought this baby back in 2007 for an undisclosed price.”

LOL. Missed it by THAT much!

ha! no- I was thinking about the mcCain ad where he talks about how much he hates war.

But you’re right.

I hate war.

I love the environment.

Sounds like a Democrat to me.

Here’s the proof why we are in so much trouble. People have no idea what these candidates stand for.
