Never has so much been spent so foolishly on so little.
Barack Obama’s 30-minute mega television buy had been billed as his “closing argument.” Instead, what we just witnessed could have been a Saturday Night Live parody of a Feed the Children commercial. Unfortunately for Barack, he ain’t no Sally Struthers.
No, she can display actual emotion.
And not insult in the process.
The Americans the Obama campaign portrayed came across as pitiful wretches, all who await The One to lead them to the Promised Land. John Steinbeck, who knew people who actually filled that bill, would have wretched. Americans, especially in dire times, do not turn to false prophets for a spiritual boost.
Obama promised us Hope and Change. Instead, he gave us the Grapes of Wrath and starred as Pa Joad.
There has been considerable question about whether Obama is or is not a socialist. There is little doubt he has those tendencies. If that drivel I just watched is any indication of how he views this nation and its citizens, he is indeed a socialist.
I am insulted. Most Americans, I imagine, will be insulted when they consider what they just witnessed.

spainishirish: taking one for the team
KeyWestConservative (Diary) Wednesday, October 29th at 7:48PM EST (link)Thanks for watching that infomercial. I couldn’t bring myself to do it. You took one for the team tonight, mate.
It was wretched but someone had to do it.

You are a better man than me

Did he manage to be even more boring than in the second debate?

He was.
spainishirish (Diary) Wednesday, October 29th at 8:49PM EST (link)In all seriousness, these high production cost extravaganzas seem to accentuate how completely banal and at the same time alarming the man is. All that money was blown just to reinforce preconceptions. And again, it was so patronizing that is was an insult so if any votes changed they probably flipped toward McCain.
Serious question, Spanish...
Dave_in_Fla (Diary) Wednesday, October 29th at 9:17PM EST (link)Did the Infomercial discuss the economy, and what Obama will do to get the stock market to recover? Or was it all how terrible America is for these poor unfortunates?
Because it is likely that is the only message that could help him now.

The latter.
spainishirish (Diary) Wednesday, October 29th at 9:36PM EST (link)It was typical Obama. Nice sound, little substance. The specifics weren’t there per normal, but the assurance was that he would help the least among us.
