Will obama's infomerical help or hinder him (vanity)

Posted on 10/29/2008 1:49:20 PM PDT by BornToBeAmerican

I cannot help but think that this is really going to hurt obama. Talk about a turn off, having some political jackass getting in my face for 30 minutes, after a long day at work.

Honestly, if McCain tried this, I would think a lot less of him. A LOT Less. I am thinking there are going to be a lot of undecideds as well as dems themselves look very poorly on this.

This is not socialism, it is Communism.

Obama should try to sell some sham wows during his infomercial. I mean, hey, these things sell themselves.

People in middle America who are losing their jobs, having problems putting food on their table and who wanted to watch the damn baseball game tonight will NOT be cheering when they see Hussein’s dorky face on their sets, especially if it looks like Barackopolis Part 2. I hope it turns the country off once and for all and all he has left are his liberal asswipes. Please God, I don’t ask for much (on knees)

Unless they've figured out how to tune in the subliminal suggestions over the air waves to success, the commercial will do little more than heat the blood of those already in the tank for Obama. Very few people truly enjoy "infomercials". Beware of liberal loons with hot blood, however; they are dangerous. And watch out for the subliminal suggestions too!

“CNN just announced they’re NOT going to accept the ad buy. ABC also refused. FOX News wasn’t asked.”

Actually, ABC took too long. They weren’t sure if they wanted to preempt “Pushing Daisies” and by the time they decided they were willing to- the Obama group decided they didn’t need ABC.

Of course, there are the baseball fans. I would imagine they are a little pissed.

Especially in, um, oh, let me see, yeah, Florida and Pennsylvania!

Well, well, well, God's a Republican!!

“I agree that many Americans .. won’t be impressed by a guy with enough money to buy the election making a 30 minute campaign speech on prime time from money he has to burn.

Especially when there is nobody on camera TO ASK HIM QUESTIONS!

^^^^^^^^
That’s a pretty decent McCain talking point right there.

“..How many plumbers do you know that make $250K a year?”
“A hell of a lot more than “men of the people” who have $2-$3 million to throw at a 30 minute ego trip.”

Hasn’t this been tried in the past? Gore? Kerry? It doesn’t work. People are tired. They will switch channels.

Will his teleprompter fog over?

Will Hairplugs get to help?

If the answer to either of those questions is NO, the Barry Burp will be so incredibly boring nobody will remember a thing the nitwit said fifteen seconds after he said it.


Seriously, if anything indicated this sort of grandstanding ever resulted in more votes than it cost, both parties would be doing it regularly and both parties would have started doing it long ago.

Barry's infomercial merely indicates the liberal loon has raised more money than he can spend wisely.

Absolutely this will HURT Obama - under the following conditions. No matter what Obama says on this info-mercial the McCain and RNC should send out the “talking heads and repeat 400 times each the following: “Obama/Pelosi” — “Bureaucracy” “Waste” of course “socio-economic Voodoo”,
“Voodoo Foreign Policy”,
phrases: “self inflicted 911 style TRILLION Dollar “HIT” to the economy”.
“Obamas ‘Dont ask Dont tell’ campaign tour”

AND lastly but not least “Socialist Policy is forever - There is NO Turning back”

Nobody heard what Big Brother was saying. It was merely a few words of encouragement, the sort of words that are uttered in the din of battle, not distinguishable individually but restoring confidence by the fact of being spoken. Then the face of Big Brother faded away again, and instead the three slogans of the Party stood out in bold capitals:

WAR IS PEACE

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

But the face of Big Brother seemed to persist for several seconds on the screen, as though the impact that it had made on everyone's eyeballs was too vivid to wear off immediately. The little sandyhaired woman had flung herself forward over the back of the chair in front of her. With a tremulous murmur that sounded like 'My Saviour!' she extended her arms towards the screen. Then she buried her face in her hands. It was apparent that she was uttering a prayer.

At this moment the entire group of people broke into a deep, slow, rhythmical chant of 'B-B! ...B-B!' -- over and over again, very slowly, with a long pause between the first 'B' and the second-a heavy, murmurous sound, somehow curiously savage, in the background of which one seemed to hear the stamp of naked feet and the throbbing of tom-toms. For perhaps as much as thirty seconds they kept it up. It was a refrain that was often heard in moments of overwhelming emotion. Partly it was a sort of hymn to the wisdom and majesty of Big Brother, but still more it was an act of self-hypnosis, a deliberate drowning of consciousness by means of rhythmic noise.

Hurt in the sense of overdone and boring, help slightly because I’m sure it will portray Obama as the most mainstream Kid From Kansas (which he ain’t).

He has an interview with the young lady from an ACORN employee who testified today. Set to perhaps run tomorrow.
