Obama’s infomercial with paid Actors ?

Its quite clear our economy is in the tank and Americans are struggling, we didn’t need to see that in his infomercial by paid Actors. What we needed to hear was clear polices that will make the future for all Americans better. Obama didn’t breakdown his policy and truly explain his Tax plan. That’s what I was waiting for, his assertion that taking from the rich and giving it the middle class or poor makes no sense. Right now 45% of all Americans pay no taxes whatsoever, nothing. So the 95% figure Obama uses means nothing, and that part he should of explained. A year ago he stated folks making less then 300k would see a tax cut then it went to 250k then to 200k in his infomercial and Joe Biden the other day stated 150k, what is it, what’s the plan. It sounds like there just shooting from the hip, There is no substance to his plan.

Obama quote: "Here's what I'll do. Cut taxes for every working family making less than $200,000 a year. Give businesses a tax credit for every new employee that they hire right here in the U.S. over the next two years and eliminate tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. Help homeowners who are making a good faith effort to pay their mortgages, by freezing foreclosures for 90 days. And just like after 9-11, we'll provide low-cost loans to help small businesses pay their workers and keep their doors open. "

So how will he cut those taxes for families making less then 200k ? how much of a tax credit is he going to give companies for every new employee ?, and how much will it cost ? tax breaks for companies to keep jobs from going over seas, and how much? freezing foreclosures for 90 days, how do you do this when these people are out of work or they qualified for a Stated Income loan and can’t qualify going Full Doc using paystubs.

Obama only gives talking points with no hard facts or figures on how he is going to accomplish this goal ?.

Obama quote: "That's why my health care plan includes improving information technology, requires coverage for preventive care and pre-existing conditions and lowers health care costs for the typical family by $2,500 a year."

Obama hopes that by spending $50 billion over five years on electronic medical records and by improving access to proven disease management programs, among other steps, consumers will end up saving money. But his plan does not lower premiums by $2,500. his using smoke and mirriors on the voters.

Obama quote: "I also believe every American has a right to affordable health care."

Ok, his statement “I also believe” is not the same meaning as guaranteed health care coverage for all. He mentions children but not adults.

The 5 million spent on this infomercial would have been better spent on giving 10,000 familes currently having a tough time making there house payments a check for $500.00 dollars each. This would have been a better way of him to explain how spreading the wealth works.

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.
