Obama buys airtime on networks for anniversary of Black Tuesday in 1929
By MARGARET TALEV McClatchy Newspapers
Barack Obama is buying a half-hour slot on television networks in prime time Oct. 29, the anniversary of Black Tuesday of 1929, when panic in the stock markets set in ahead of the Great Depression.
Obama, leaving a campaign stop in a diner in Georgetown, Ohio, on Thursday evening, declined to say whether he plans to address the current economic crisis in the context of the depression.
He wouldnt talk about the nature of the programming, saying, "Were going to be talking about it tomorrow."
Linda Douglass, a senior adviser to Obama, confirmed Thursday evening that the campaign has bought time on NBC and CBS.
She said the campaign will buy airtime on Fox, unless the network is carrying a World Series game that night, and that no arrangement had been made with ABC.
Douglass also wouldnt release any information about how much the airtime is costing the campaign or any information about the programming.
The last candidate to make such a purchase was Ross Perot in 1992.
The ads will run six days before the Nov. 4 election, following weeks of economic crisis, including massive stock-market losses, global investor panic and Congress passage of a $700 billion bailout for Wall Street.

Marxists are highly contemptuous of MLK.
no, it was a graphic on Fox and Friends on FNC.
I am looking for it on the foxnews.com but no luck I could have just been too early.
Hmmmm. I don’t see this as a particularly good use of resources. Spend away, Obamessiah!!
After his speech his socialist buddies in London will take the LIBOR rates back down and the "credit squeeze" will end.
The world will hail Obama as the saviour.
You can bet 100% Soros is behind this.
Maybe he will ask his supporters to not burn down the cities if he loses the election.
Think about it...
“Maybe he will ask his supporters to not burn down the cities if he loses the election.”
I think he will ask them to not start looting right away if he wins. They should be patient and allow the government to do the looting for them.
Awww... shoot! I should’ve thought of that on... We could add “Leninism” too, couldn’t we? ;)
I just keep imaging Barack on TV infomercial style now - Call right now we’ll throw in a FREE MORTGAGE, and this spiffy new “Obama” T-shirt all for the LOW, LOW Price of just $19.95! As a special offer to our TV viewers we’ll even throw in this autographed Hammer & Sickle — CALL NOW! DON’T WAIT! Purchase your place in our Utopian society TODAY!
Nothing to Fear but Fear itself time...
Oh Praise Obama and his Socialist vision of the future of the new and improved (Progressive) United Socialist States of America.
Stalin - Obama
Castro - Obama
Chavez - Obama
They all used the same populist themes and the same anti-corporate anti-free market message to give rise to the power of Government and the Lemmings fell right in line.
Government will be the POWER in an Obamanation.
Disagree and we will shut you down for the good of the state. Your opinions matter not, for we will feast on your freedom.
A little reverse psychology, eh? Yep, I’m truly afraid of Obama and his plans. Just think of all of Michelle’s little “organizing groups” (Public Allies) where all the good little commies go to be trained in Saul Alinsky methods. I’ll be watching just to try to figure out which code words he is using!
Exactly ... Change... destroy Conservatism, Destroy the Free Market, Destroy Capitalism....
Now is the time for real CHANGE America is about to give this man the keys to the kingdom because he will preach Govt is the answer to the problems. They will destroy America to create the NEW DEAL ON CRACK....
Geesh, I should really try reading through what I’ve written a little closer before hitting “post”!
*on should be one
*imaging should be imagining!
In Reno last week (don’t know if he’s done it before), but he is referring to his plans as the “New Deal for Americans”. I swear this guy has never had an original idea! I ran across one of the 1992 debates a few weeks back on YouTube, and listening to Clinton give his opening statement was like being in a time warp - “Hope and Change”, “The Courage to Change”, etc... etc... Not to mention “Just Words”, or any of the other “catchy slogans” Obama is so fond of... Absolutely sickening.
Hell, the networks are probably giving him a discounted price for air time, if not free.
It looks like he is going to use the analogy of the sinking depression of Black Tuesday to scare the voters into this happening in America due to the Bush/McCain crap. God I hope he doesn’t try that crap!
Maybe the TV buy is because he knows something is going to happen? If it is all orchestrated, he would know the timing.
{Tin Foil Body Suit Firmly in place}
I think you are right on the money. He knows there are going to be a lot more skeletons that come out of the closet and McCain will continue to chip at his numbers with all these associations (Ayers, Wright, Rezko, Odinga etc.).
Big gamble. Will it work...we will see.
Since I am using heavy duty tin foil, I was thinking something a bit more sinister.
If the market crash is orchestrated, then he knows the timing of the events that have and will take place. There may be more to come from Soros, or other outside influences.
We still havent heard from Al Qaeda yet. They have tried to influence every election since 9-11. Why not this one.
Like I said, heavy duty tin foil :)
Since you are into “tin foil” today. Check this one out if you have 10 minutes. It is a scary one:
Islamic Plan to Control America- Obama in those plans
