Barack Obama: "I think its time for us to end the embargo of Cuba..."
Barack Obama, speaking at the University of Southern Illinois, 1/20/2004

"I am no fan of the Cuban embargo, but removing it now - or announcing a presidential trip to meet with Raul Castro - would indicate that America views this familial transfer of power as real change, rather than what it is: a maneuver meant to leave the brutal Castro legacy intact."
Benny Avni, Op-Ed, "Obama Vs. Bad Guys: To Talk Or Not To Talk?" The New York Sun, 2/25/08

"I believe that normalization of relations with Cuba would help..."
Barack Obama, "Obama's 2003 IVI-IPO Questionnaire May Be Getting Closer Scrutiny," Chicago Sun-Times' "Lynn Sweet's Blog," .12/11/07

"'We Think There Should Be No Negotiations Or Conversation With Raul Castro Until He Has Released All Political Prisoners And Made Moves Toward Democracy,' Said Orlando Gutierrez, Directorio Cubano's National Secretary."
Carmen Gentile, "Obama Faces Heat From Cuban Exiles," The Washington Times, 5/18/08

Campbell Brown: "You had said in a previous CNN debate that you would meet with the leaders of Cuban, Iran, North Korea, among others, so presumably you would be willing to meet with the new leader of Cuba."
Campbell Brown, CNN/Univision Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate, Austin, TX, 2/21/08

Barack Obama: "I would meet without preconditions"
Sen. Barack Obama, CNN/Univision Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate, Austin, TX, 2/21/08

Barack Obama. Naive on national security. Not ready to be Commander-in-chief

Without Preconditions

[TomGuy]

Very poorly constructed 'ad'.

Too much text. This is an audio-visual age. People don't won't spend time trying to read all that text in such short screen time -- in a video.

RNC needs to hire some experts in advertising.

[Paige]

This is my concern -

We have been concerned about Barak Hussein Obama, and rightfully so, but this video shows more reasons to be concerned. Obama himself is standing in front of the camera explaining how he will disarm the USA.

This is a very short (52 seconds) video by Barak Hussein Obama, in his own words, on how he plans to destroy our defense capabilities if this man is elected.

This is about destroying the US and handing us over to the Terrorist.

Nice but how about a video showing him to be the communist he really is.

[Paige]

The GOP will not hire conservatives who are articulate, good writers and know how to get the message out.

[boycott]

Republicans are so lame.

I'd like so see one where rev. Wright is saying, "No, no, no, God DXXX America!" Then have Hussein Obama saying, "I am Barack Obama and I approve of this message ---------- Well, I did for the 20 years before I was running for president."

This could be a lot more fun. Republicans want to play softball but I can tell you that Hussein and his buddies will be playing hardball.

This has the potential to be a really powerful ad against the Magic Muslim.

Two minor technical comments:

1) There is one place early on when a statement is presented split between two sequences. It’s confusing.

2) Obama saying “without preconditions” is central to the ad. Yet, it’s annoyingly obvious in the audio that what he said was clipped off at that point. The response from the other side WILL be that he was “taken out of context”. That’s OK, provided the context when made available either supports or at least doesn’t torpedo the original premise. (I have no idea what he says next.)

>> Republicans are so lame.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why McCain and (most of) the pubbies are allowing Obama to define the playing field.

They run from the Wright issue like it’s somehow off limits.

Why?

Why is something that so clearly illuminates Obama’s racist character off limits? If the tables were turned you can bet the Obama campaign, aided by the MSM, would be pounding us with it 24/7.

Same with Michelle Obama. He’s MARRIED to her. To the extent she steps out in the campaign (and she HAS) she is totally fair game.

I am prolly going to vote for McCain (unless he picks the poofster Crist for VP). But I’m not convinced the fool really wants to win.

[kjo]

...as we have been noticing at least since the succes of The Contract With America, the GOP are tone deaf.

In 1995 they could have put the Dem party out of business...they held both Houses...Clinton was terrified...

...look what they did with their power...turned earmarks over to our side.

[spanalot]

there go florida land values

[Nervous Tick]

>> look what they did with their power...turned earmarks over to our side.

The Republican party, like the Democrat party, is as greedy, corrupt and self-serving as the day is long.

Calcified permanent bureaucrats, all of them. “Public servants”, my ass.

A pox on the lot of ‘em.

[TomGuy]

For the life of me, I can’t understand why McCain and (most of) the pubbies are allowing Obama to define the playing field.

And allow Team Obama to say what can and cannot be discussed.

See the growing list of Things You Can't Say About Obama or Things That Make Obama Whine in this thread:

Sen. Obama: "Lay off my wife"

[boycott]

I am prolly going to vote for McCain (unless he picks the poofster Crist for VP). But I’m not convinced the fool really wants to win.

Republicans are lame. John McCain is lame.

If the republican party allows a racist anti-American extremist liberal to just walk into the White House, they will lose me forever. I am so sick of the lame azz republican party. They're so lame they gave us 71 year old John McCain as their candidate.

Where is the republican leadership? Do they have any?

[kjo]

Sadly, I agree.

[SumProVita]

Indeed...scary agenda from Senator Obama. It’s almost like he WANTS the USA to be defenseless. ;-o

[TomGuy]

Why is something that so clearly illuminates Obama’s racist character off limits? If the tables were turned you can bet the Obama campaign, aided by the MSM, would be pounding us with it 24/7.

Notice how the first six months or so of the Obama campaign were Barak Hussein saying 'this campaign is not about race.'

Yet, after the Wright flair-up and similar problems, now, nearly everything that is in opposition to BHO is labeled by the Obama Team as 'racist'.

Team BHO has found it convenient to bring out the race card -- and play it frequently and effectively to fend off the opposition, who cower, afraid the label will stick to them.

[SumProVita]

Lol! This is terrific....good sense of humor to speak the truth.

;-)

[TomGuy]

since the succes of The Contract With America

Actually, the CWA wasn't that successful. It presented a menu of items, but only one or two actually became reality, and of those, it was partial.

When the Pubbies got power, they squandered the opportunity and chose, instead, to wallow in the mud with the Dems with open checkbook spending, massive social program spending, porkbarrel projects, and globalization. [With all the mud all over them, you can't tell the Dems from the Pubbies any more.]

[Dustbunny]

Scary, very scary.
