Barack Obama’s night of his first 30 minute infomercial

Barack Obama’s night of his first 30 minute infomercial even has some in his Liberal media talking about Obama’s broken promise to except Public financing In November 2007, in an interview with “common cause” when asked "If you are nominated for President in 2008 and your major opponents agree to forgo private funding in the general election campaign, will you participate in the presidential public financing system?" Obama answered Yes.
"In February 2007 Obama wrote: I proposed a novel way to preserve the strength of the public financing system in the 2008 election. My plan requires both major party candidates to agree on a fundraising truce, return excess money from donors, and stay within the public financing system for the general election. My proposal followed announcements by some presidential candidates that they would forgo public financing so they could raise unlimited funds in the general election. The Federal Election Commission ruled the proposal legal, and Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has already pledged to accept this fundraising pledge. If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election."

June 19, 2008 Sen. Barack Obama announced that he would not enter into the public financing system, despite a previous pledge to do so.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of us; Barack Obama has made many pledges in his run for state office of Illinois and his U.S Senate seat election where promises were broken. The change candidate does change his mind a lot on breaking promises with his voters.

Despite all that, and despite his lead in national and most battleground polls, the campaign decided to plunk down between $3 and $5 million to buy half-hour blocks of time at 8 p.m. tonight on NBC, CBS, FOX, Univision, BET, MSNBC and TV One for delivery of his final argument to the voters.
I must give kudos to ABC for not going along with this nonsense, if Fox had not did this they would of been called Racist or in the bag for McCain so I believe this the only reason they are running this ad of Obama.

Today, Obama is dominating the television ad wars. As of Oct. 22, Obama placed 150% more ads than McCain in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, according to the Nielsen Co.

Could it seem to some voters like overkill?

I believe so, if Obama sits down and can tell us his real intentions on his tax cut without the same talking points he tends to say all the time and get into substance by breaking down the numbers like Ross Perot did in 2002 he my do well, but he won’t. The biggest risk in airing the infomercials, according to the strategists, is that Obama could irritate people by interrupting their regular television viewing habits.

Perot’s programs drew an average audience of 11.6 million viewers, or 4.6 percent of viewers nationwide, according to Nielsen. His one simulcast on ABC and CBS on Nov. 2, 1992 attracted 26 million viewers, Nielsen found.

Quote from Campbell Brown CNN One year ago, he made a promise. He pledged to accept public financing and to work with the Republican nominee to ensure that they both operated within those limits. Then it became clear to Sen. Obama and his campaign that he was going to be able to raise on his own far more cash than he would get with public financing. So Obama went back on his word. He broke his promise and he explained it by arguing that the system is broken and that Republicans know how to work the system to their advantage. He argued he would need all that cash to fight the ruthless attacks of 527s, those independent groups like the Swift Boat Veterans. It's funny though, those attacks never really materialized. For this last week, Sen. Obama will be rolling in dough. His commercials, his get-out-the-vote effort will, as the pundits have said, dwarf the McCain campaign's final push. But in fairness, you have to admit, he is getting there in part on a broken promise.

Quote from Obama supporter today
DEMS' CAMPAIGN-FINANCE HYPOCRISY
By BOB KERREY
ON the question of public funding of presidential campaigns, we Democrats who strongly support Sen. Barack Obama’s candidacy and who previously supported limits on campaign spending and who haven't objected to Obama's opting out of the presidential funding system face an awkward fact: Either we are hypocrites, or we were wrong to support such limitations in the first place.I'm sad to report that hypocrite is a more accurate label. Bob Kerry

Ross Perot's used his own money his self-financed candidacy tapped national attitudes as a successful Texas businessman with no political experience (he had never held elected office, worked in a bureaucracy, or studied public policy), Perot was the ultimate outsider. Perot's response was aggressive television advertising campaigns, including conventional, 30-second spots and half-hour paid "infomercials." The strategy portrayed Perot as a down-to-earth outsider who was not afraid to discuss issues and present real solutions. Perot frequently focused the infomercials on deficit reduction, his pet project. The presentations often included Perot's colorful graphs and appealing humor.

Am not sure Obama can be so graphic on his policies because his shooting from the hip with the message of change with no real policy. His character is suspect and so is his policy. And his supporter’s don’t care because all they here is the word change, by using the argument he is not committing to anything and if his not committing to anything then he can’t be accused of not keeping any promises.
