Here is the newest Barack Obama ad, “Three Bedroom Ranch”.
Can anyone learn anything useful in these 30 second spots, or is it all just branding?
1) It starts with a plan.
2) That plan is to build.
3) He’ll put hardworking Americans first.
4) He’ll put the middle class ahead of corporate interests, to grow the economy (corporations don’t have a stake or interest in a vibrant “middle class”?)
5) End tax breaks for companies that send jobs overseas (okay)
6) Give tax breaks to business that create jobs here (okay)
7) Invest in education (Is investment really the issue? How about applying some of that change to the current broken system)
8) $1000 tax cut for “working families” (What constitutes a “working family”?)
9) Make energy independence an urgent priority. (Yes Yes Yes, including exploiting ALL of our domestic resources?)
It’s a more optimistic ad then the most recent McCain ad, in that Obama is talking about himself as opposed to just attacking his opponent. Unfortunately, Barack takes the opportunity to try and stoke the middle class as though greedy corporations and their evil friends in government want to enrich themselves at the expense of working families. That doesn’t sound like an optimistic message at all.
Just wanted to say HI. I found your blog a few days ago on Technorati and have been reading it over the past few days.
Nice writing. You are on my RSS reader now so I can read more from you down the road.

I just found your blog on GP.
I hope it will equal the GP.
I have just one thing to say.
Obama will not try and bring down energy prices. If he did he could not tax them higher.
I ask THE GREAT ONE to leave the oil Co’s alone and let them find more energy sorces.
Reasons.
1. He says he will give some people $1000 dolars he will take from BIG OIL.
That means he will then have BILLIONS left every year to play with.
My reason is this. Obama = $1000 Gas prices reduced to $2.00 a gal. means $50 to $100 back in my pocket each week. $50 X 52 Wks. = $2600 back to me to help pay for my own insurance and not in the spending Congress pockets.
$2600 x 5 years means $13,000.
$2600 x 10 years means $26,000.
$2600 x 15 years means $39,000.
Thats just at $50 a week savinge.
Now this is an energy plan that also helps the overall economy.
I also wanted to welcome you to the blogosphere.
The Vapid One’s commercial sounds good on the surface, but is long on generalities and short on specifics. Conspicuous by their absence are plans to defeat world poverty by taxing us and giving that money to the UN (what a wonderful financial track record they have!) and his plans to reduce military programs such as anti-missle systems (Iran has already tested-launched a missle from a freighter and detonated it at its’ apogee, if this were a nuclear bomb, the resulting EMP discharged would not be good.)
This commercial is tantamount to putting lipstick on a pig.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!!
Glad I found your blog. I enjoyed the film you made at the Kos convention. It was a real eye opener. Kos is a “Legend in his own mind.”
Obama’s lip stick / pig remark … and, Biden’s unsavory children with special needs remarks show us what a couple of creeps these two candidates are. In lieu of Sarah Palin’s comment about hockey moms, pit bulls and lip stick, Obama’s lip stick/ pig remark was extremely demeaning. Even though I am not an Obama supporter, at least I thought he had some degree of class and sophistication. He can try to cover his tracks by saying that the lip stick remark was not directed towards Governor Palin, but anyone with half a brain knows that’s exactly what he meant. I think Obama knows his campaign is in real trouble, and that’s why he’s stooping to such desperate, insulting and distasteful attacks. Obama is definitely not Presidential material.
