“Night Rider” - one of the TV shows that got bumped to make way for Barack Obama’s infomercial - was looking pretty good last night about six minutes into the candidate’s last-minute pitch.
The Democratic contender had better be elected president, because he wouldn’t make a great late-night infomercial pitchman.
His 30-minute TV special was aimed at the middle class and depicted a few Americans struggling with finances and health care that left you with a feeling of depression rather than hope.

Can he get anymore arrogant?
Saul Alinsky on "Change"
There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary CHANGE must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward CHANGE among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and chance the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families - more than seventy million people - whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year (in 1971).
hat tip, "ETL"
come on mccain. it’s Morning again in America.
Links do not work.
It really was a BORING BOMB! Barry was thinking this was the “good old days”, two years ago, when people were first getting a look at him. “Wow, he sounds smart and smooth...”. But the bloom is off the rose big time. Now people are not impressed. The old tingle does not happen. All he did was seem full of himself. “I,I,I,I,me,em,em,I,I,I...” Overexposure kills all celebrities. Just ask all the “has beens.”

The Barack Obama Lack-Of-Variety Show [Mark Steyn]
For what it's worth, I don't think the night worked for him. The last time anyone did this — Ross Perot — it was so weird a world unto itself (strange-looking guy with pie charts) that, beached between Cybill and Murphy Brown (or whatever it was back then), it had a kind of integrity and distinctiveness. This time round, The O Show followed by the Phillies followed by Jon Stewart cumulatively undermined the candidate.
For a start, the show itself was slick only in a drearily generic way. The waving wheat and music made it seem like a standard campaign commercial, only longer — "It's Morning, Noon And Night In America," which is a big enough problem thanks to the media's Obama cultists without the candidate himself piling on. As for the King Barack Meets [Insert Name Of Downtrodden Subject Here] stuff, aside from the fact that I don't recognize the hellhole this country apparently is, there's something faintly ridiculous in doing it in the middle of the Phillies winning the World Series. Maybe on Super Bowl Sunday, instead of Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunctioning, Obama could come out and interview people about how our entire rotten society is malfunctioning. And then The Daily Show kibbitzing stepped all over the infomercial even more.
This is an amazing race. The incumbent president has approval ratings somewhere between Robert Mugabe and the ebola virus. The economy is supposedly on the brink of global Armageddon. McCain has only $80 million to spend, while Obama's burning through $600 mil as fast as he can, and he doesn't really need to spend a dime given the wall-to-wall media adoration. And tonight Chris Matthews' doctors announced that his leg tingle has metastasized leaving his entire body like a vibrating cellphone whose ringtone is locked on "I'm In Love, I'm In Love, I'm In Love, I'm In Love, I'm In Love With A Wonderful Guy."
And yet an old cranky broke loser is within two or three points of the King of the World. Strange.

Last night I read an AP piece (yes AP) and they tore the infomercial apart. Did sections on “spin” versus “facts” and in each of his proposed programs they showed how he was “spinning.”
ROTFLMBO!!!
If you order in the next 120 hours, we'll also throw in Liberal Fascist thugs, gun confiscation, reparations, and universal health care.
Folks this is our best offer, ever, so don't hesitate, order now. Vote fraud specialists are standing by....
Did you mean arrogant or ignorant?

IN THE MEAN TIME,
LA TIMES, Obama’s pet newspaper, continues to CENSOR INFORMATION to protect their own MARXIST.

I didn’t watch the Obamaramadamadingdongdally.
I woke up early this morning and turned on the TV. Caught some of the ABC Overnight News.
George Steffie was on it and he was singing the praises of Obama. Steff couldn’t/didn’t give much in the way of substance in the Obamathon, but he thought the Oval Office setting resemblance was fantasamiObamargasmic. Steffie apparently felt that same kind of tingle Chris Matthews felt a while back.
Really? I did not see the "O come let us adore me" commercial.
If that is the case , that it has been changed to families, that is a BIG difference.
