WASHINGTON – Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was less than upfront in his half-hour commercial Wednesday night about the costs of his programs and the crushing budget pressures he would face in office.
Obama's assertion that "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond" the expense of his promises is accepted only by his partisans. His vow to save money by "eliminating programs that don't work" masks his failure throughout the campaign to specify what those programs are — beyond the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

Oh rats, I missed it because I want out inflating my tires.
All tyrants have the same problem and they all end in ruin because of it. Hopefully bambi will end in ruin before he has a chance to ruin.
What’s the world coming to? An AP piece that dares to say Obama was less than truthful...pigs do fly.
MSNBC : Ølberman has Tank Matthews on right after the Pity Party Infomercial,
Matthews is trying to convice us Øbama is a Great Father,
Tank, convince us a Great Father would take his young children to see Reverand Wright year after year, than you may sway a vote, but probably not from Øprah.
That would be why I’m here slack jawed.
"Billy Mays here!!! Got some money you want taken away from you? Want your wallet cleaned out? Then have I got a revolutionary breakthough in money removing technology for you! Its the Obama!!!"
It looks like the AP, but I think aliens have taken over. Has anyone seen the truck with the pods?
You were leading in the polls.
The media had already given you the keys to the White House.
All you had to do was shut up, keep your wife quiet, and keep that running mate of yours away from a camera.
But, you couldn't do it, could you? Your ego, slightly smaller than a whale, just would not let you do it. You thought if you went and talked more, things would get better. You were wrong.
The best thing you have going for you is what the American public does not know about you. The more you talk, the more you reveal, the less they are going to like you. Thirty minutes of prime time only makes the average American hate you. Don't you get that?
You just lost tonight, stupid. Get your butt back to the Senate and start thinking about how you keep your seat there.

Good one!

Did Oprah produce ‘this?’ How bad was it? Did Clinton show up?
Is it the military that you feel is ineffective 0bammy? They are less effective when you handcuff them like you do but they are still not ineffective.
Somewhere along the line Oboma forgot that he isn't qualified to be president and that he only pitched his hat into the ring for ‘08 to gain credibility for a later run. But, as has happened all his professional life, the purely superficial elements of his personality (clean, articulate, well dressed), and tied up with his skin color (black), got him ‘the gig’ no questions asked.
I think he's gonna’ lose and lose fairly convincingly (8pts)but if he ever won I truly believe he would, in his TOWERING arrogance and ineptitude, actually disgrace himself and get himself pitched out of office inside of two years.
Missed it. Was having a beer with someone I hadn’t seen in 17 years. Much more fulfilling......
I did hear that she offered, but I don’t know if he took her up on it. I didn’t watch it, but if it had that “fuzzy, halo-y, soft focus” look to it, then yeah, she probably did.
I looked at the video for about 10 seconds and realized he tried to imitate the oval office without actually imitating the oval office.
Whoa whoa whoa. Hold on. Is this an AP story...as in an ASSOCIATED PRESS straight news story? I don't believe it. It must some analysis piece written by the one token conservative in that hole.
