It seems like all of MCcrazy's lobbyist staff has their hands in the cookie jar rick Davis is slime ,you talk about Obama but you lobby for a company that wants to ship jobs out of america. MCcrazy's other buddy is on the Georigan "PAYROLL". MCbush is too risky.

So What??????????? I am getting so sick of that egomaniac and his slick, fast talking crap. Yell 'CHANGE" with no real plan of action except to really spend tax dollars as your taxs grow by leaps and bounds. the man that is trying to sell America a potion that will cure everything while we still are oil dependent and can't secure our borders and upgrade ICE and get the judicial system straightened out instead of making all the laws as they go. So many things that need done and he hasn't a clue to all of it or how to get anything really done. He will be led around DC by the nose and do as he is told. He is a looser in my opinion.

We've seen Obama use the Democratic Party's positions on important issues as a smoke-and-mirrors trick to cover up his lack of a record and his sleazy nature before.

Does he think we're stupid? We know that our party's positions are important. That's why we want real leaders to champion them.

The leaders of the Democratic Party have totally failed us.

An ad for Obama smack dab in the middle of a week long ad for China. The king of liars sitting in the midst of a kingdom of liars. Birds of a further flock together

@ Joe, who said
"I was schocked to see the photos in Mr. McCains daughter's blog site. It was amazing to see the crowds that come out to his town halls and the reception he is receiving".
--
Yeah. Photoshop can do wonders, cant it?

Good ad! I have complete faith that Barack Obama will do the right thing for this country and every American citizen - without prejudice, without condition, without exception - unlike John McCain whose years of so-called "experience” are accompanied by years of baggage. Same goes for Hillary Clinton. I’m tired of looking at both of them. OBAMA ’08.

MCcain has no honor, all he does is tell lies, accusing Obama of raising taxes is a lie so much for straight talk.

P.S.

Give my regards to the
first MRS. MCcain and children.

Excellent! Love the positive approach.

THIS is the sort of political ad that we need instead of McShame with the oil rig over the sun setting behind it. Apparently McShame believes this is the symbolism his average voter can grasp? Very sad. He's too old, too out of touch with reality...

We've seen this tired trick from Obama before.

Obama is using the Democratic Party's positions on important issues as a smoke-and-mirrors trick to cover up his lack of a record and his sleazy nature.

Does he think we're stupid? We know that our party's positions are important. That's why we want real leaders to champion them.

The leaders of the Democratic Party have totally failed us.

He knows he's not going to win. He just wants to see his mug all over the television. I've started turning the channel every time I see his face or hear his voice. If I have to keep suffering his ugly mug, I can just have my cable disconnected. I'll be so happy when he has been put in his place and removed from the public limelight.

Brian of Trinidad : Are you posting from T&T? Why do you keep bashing Sen. Obama without any clear reasons? Your nation is oil blessed and I am beginning to decipher your stance.

It is refreshing to see that Obama is continuing on the high road. People are sick of the McCain attack dogs and we'll show him that on November 4th!

Personally I've been enjoying Obama's ad during the Olympic. As I watch with my family an event that brings people together, I don't need a nagging and whining old man telling me how bad someone else is and doesn't say why he, himself is good or plans to do.
So, I enjoy Obama's positive and informative ads. He also knows that there's people like me watching and does not air a negative ad like McCain.
You may talk about experience and all (frankly you are all media and talking point zombies, think for yourselves) but the know how to do that says a lot about the man. Hate all you want, but give him his credit.

Side question: Can someone really explain why Obama makes them sick or why they are sitting out? Real answers, not oh he doesn't pick Hillary, or I don't trust him, give concrete reason.. I bet I know the real answer

It is heartwarming to see all of the Obama supporters donating their "hard earned" money to his cause. Who said he wasn't accepting public financing? I know he is....all these unemployed bums simply consider him an investment for the future....donate now and we will get bigger welfare checks, bigger section 8, bigger food stamps, free health care....any and everything they ever dreamed for!

Barack Obama...the unemployed bums retirement plan!

I am glad that most of his are positive. That is Obama's message and I really hate to see him answer to McCain's childish put down commercials. Stick to the facts, I truly think that is what American wants.

I guess he can buy this election now...

Goody for him...
Obama and all of his supporters make me ashamed to be a Democrat. I'll be sitting this election out.

For those who state they get nothing from this ad.…….read it without your Queen of tears, want to be President by any cost necessary added……..it's about the 19 millions that financially struggle day to day....it’s not about a woman, or her lacking of running a financially secure campaign…..but it is about Obama, our President with a plan for a serious issue in regards to this lousy economy we have.

Obama 08

Unlike McShame, Obama is running ads that tell how he will make a positive difference as president. McShame has not ideas so he is running negative ads about his opponent, which of course have false information in them. The repubs only tactics are smear and fear, not very honorable if you ask me.

Nice JOB Barack... Positive, focused on the economy and helping Americans up again..

Yes..WE...Can...

Obama 2008..

At least the majority of President Obama's ads give us an idea of what he would like to do for our country. Just can't say the same for the ads McBush puts out. But then again, McBush has no idea what he would like to do for our country, besides keep us caught up in wars all over the world.
Obama !!!!!

Yes, please Mr. Obama boy, build America up to where it once was?
Just like you built your district in Chicago? Yes, that's come a long way... everyone should take note of your wonderful accomplishments in inner city Chicago.

It's real perdy now ... take a look.

NOT!!! So, what has this scary man done for America?? Anyone???

Obama, your not Robin Hood, this is the facts on the ground, Lower corporate taxes that way you encourage corp. from seeking off-shore tax havens they will earn a tax break domestically, your plan keeps the money overthere YOU are going to get this economy moving overhere, thats the way to get tax revenues along with taxing the wealthy at a reasonable rate and less taxes for the middle BUT, I think your going to cry to the poor and make your people pay their fair share......

A well thought out add..........onward.....

Obama wins the GOLD and McWar gets no medal...how sad!

YES WE CAN!

While there are so many other factors on which o base a good leader, if one restricted the criteria solely to advertising hoices, Obama wins hands down. McCain's ads (Britney. Paris, Moses) are an insult to the intelligence of voters.

The Republican Party wrote the book on negative ads and they work. History proves it works. The only candidate who beat the Republican negative ads was Bill Clinton. The Democrat Party has to blanket the media with their ads. The Olympics is the single best air time to buy. Many won't see ads other than the Olympics, so go for it Obama. Bury McCain.

Senator Obama is indeed a brilliant man. His leadership and creativity are just what this county needs right now. I am fearful to think of the continuation of the downward spiral that a McCain presidency would bring.

Don't worry, tomorrow Obama's position on everything will have been changed.

My $10 at work. Yes we can!!! CNN should let me comment on this

Don't give to mcbush. he has cindy's money for which he ditched his first and handicaped wife.

Nice to hear all those promises.People want to hear HOW he is going to keep those promises.And so far,there's nothing about that.

Hint to Charlotte
3 bedroom ranch = American dream(or at last it used to)

Otherwise
So far I have enjoyed the ads from Obama's campaign. Positive and upbeat. Keep it up.

BTW the bit with having someone else deal with the negative campaigning aimed at Obama is a wonderful idea.

This way he stays clean but the "swiftboaters" get corrected.

Win or lose Obama is a gentleman, all we need now is his vice presidential pick, to be an effective counter attacker, to Mccain and his negativity driven minions.

I just love how positive and encouraging all of Obamas ads are...

GO OABAMA GO....LETS MAKE HISTORY!!!

McBush get blame for the OHIO Job lost because he did have his paid staff lobbyist Lobby to move the jobs. His paid staff lobbyist Charlie Black also LOBBY for a Foreign Government (GEORGIA) and the plan was for Georgia to launch the WAR and the US to go in and give McBush cover, NOT THIS TIME. The internet have open the eyes of America and we do know that in Georgia, there's an oil pipe line than runs through it. Yes, we will not die for oil in another foreign land!

MC-BUSH has over reached! It is not about Russia, Georgia over reached because they thought that McBush and NATO would come to the rescure. It will not happen and MCBUSH has been saying for the last few months to get Russia out of the G8, we see where this is going, but we will STOP it. MCBUSH has blood on his hands!

NO you CAN'T. McCain attacks because there is SO MUCH to attack. That's politics, if Barack is too weak to roll with the punches then he shouldn't even be in this race. If he can't defend himself, I wonder what he'll do when our allies overseas are getting trounced by invaders? Probably as much as he's done for this country... nothing.

This is a great ad, and i love it. It's about time that a contender is speaking about our future instead of celebrity and shear lies. Mr. Obama, please keep these positive ads coming. Your opponent has nothing to say to us to be hopeful. Just look at him...Give me hope so I can dream for a better future.

OBAMA IS NOT ON VACATION, HE IS LAYING LOW, YOU KNOW DO

NOT WANT ANY MISSTEPS, HE IS FED HIS DAILY BLURPS FROM

HIS CONTROLLERS AND HE SPEWS THEM AS IF THEY WERE HIS

OWN THOUGHTS .

IF, OBAMA WINS THE PRESIDENCY, HE WILL BE KNOW AS THE FIRST AMERICAN PRESIDENT BY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND THE FRONT MAN FOR THE GEORGE SOROS'S WHO ARE OUT TO DESTROY AMERICA.

3 BDR House–
heres the scoop:

America's long-term strategy to convert as many citizens as possible from renters–to buyers and living the American dream.

Failed miserably under: Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson–resurgence under Nixon, Ford–miserable under Carter-resurgence under Reagan, Bush– continued growth; Clinton–slight decrease under 1st term–increased growth in 2nd term. Bush–most number of renters to buyers in the history of the U.S. (and the world). Even now–first time homebuyers making their first purchase–is higher than in the 80's and 90's!!

Obama?
McCain?

If you don't own an home right now–which political party do you think is more likely to create the business environment where you can create the wealth to purchase one?

McCain offers even more and has the experience to deliver.

I want to vote for Hillary.
I WILL NOT vote for Obama.
I may have to vote for McCain.

NAFTA doesn't damage our economy as much as our most favorable trade status for China agreement has done. Both were strongly promoted and signed by Bill Clinton.

What does McCain have to do with losing jobs for American workers?
I like Obama, but this is a bit overstretch.

Awesome, a time to build a time to reap and a time to sow. Awakening the new era for America, OBAMA, can't stop thinking baout the New American Union, let's renew the Lincoln Dream! ONE AMERICA and a United World!

We are Americans first, today we are NOT GEORGIANS!

God save the republic if that foreigner obama bin laden gets elected. The American people are getting overrun by foreigners and are getting dumber every day. A vote for Mickey Mouse would make more sense!
We need a third party that isn't controlled by mindless, childish, media made hero worshiping idiots...a former Democrat from a long line of Democrats.

McCain has nothing left but to go negative. His Policy expert (George W Bush) took office with a projected surplus! Anyone remember that as Ronald Regan said " Are you better off than you were 4 years ago? In this case 8 years ago? All of you suppose to be fiscal conservatives, what happened? You spent the country into record deficits, got us into a 200 billion war, made us look stupid around the world, and most of all ran swift boat ads and stole the election in Florida! I'm proud of america but I'm ashamed of you say one thing do another republicans all of you go home! Obama is the best man for the job! Tell John McCain to wear $200.00 shoes and give his tax cut back.

What a wonderful ad.

OBAMA THE JUDGEMENT TO LEAD CHANGE

I am very proud of the Americans that have continued to do the job of the mainstream media by forcing equal discussion about John McCain’s faux pas, missteps and outrageous panderings in this campaign.

Keep doing what you are doing. If ABC, CNN, CBS & NBC won’t force fair and equitable treatment on McCain … [maybe because he is 72?] it is YOUR DUTY to continue to hold him and his campaign accountable for how they act, what they say and what they do.

Just remember to be succinct, give the facts – not opinion, list sources, references, dates. Be vigiliant, don’t let anything slide by. It’s perfectly OK to have an edge, have some swagger and to have a tone … the other side sure does.

But let’s always take the high road and drop so many of the Mc _____ monikers for John McCain. Sure, I find some of them amusing but we want to pull a rainbow of undecided Democrats, Independents, and Republicans to our side. Let’s make sure we hit McCain harder than he hits our guy. Obama can elevate this debate if we are on guard against the “low blows”. In the end, our man Obama will remove McCain’s political heart … and John won’t even feel it until it’s too late.

Please let us drop the anti-Hillary counter-bloggs. I can guarantee you that all the posters you run into on these bloggs “typing” that pro-Hillary stuff are GOP-paid trouble makers, or lost souls that we can not save … both only want to sap our strength … like a paramour paid for by the enemy to visit us in our chamber the night before the battle.

Our guy has a proactive vision instead of the reactive, angry, mean-spirited rebuttal. We have the stronger man, the smarter man, the better man. Fore reasons to numerous to mention, we can’t let Senator Obama do all the hand to hand combat, even though he is more than capable. He has to play by rules that are slightly different than those McCain gets to apply

YES WE CAN...........Has anyone else noticed ......Obama has been on vacation but he is still mentioned in the news every day.

Charlotte August 14th, 2008 11:21 am ET
I don't get it? Three bedroom ranch? What does that have to do with anything? I get nothing from this ad, I read it three times and still don't get the connection to a three bedroom ranch.

Are you stupid? If the ad was called shack... you still don't see or care to see the issues! The issues that Obama addresses... you voted twice for Bush... and you'd vote a third time... Must be swell in your country club living. Your neighbors economic outlook must be great... I'm glad that a handful of Americans are prospering under Bush/McCain.

No, No . Lets don't get him involved with the sport world.

For his team mates will , just go for another Vacation.

Most are , an have an over full stomack of this Muslim , an sure do not need him any place near the Olmpics .

A TAX PAYER Voting for Obama , is like a CHICKEN Voting for Colonel Sanders .

Fish Oil.

Whether you like Obama or not Obama's vision is to rebuild America. You can sit around, support John McCain and pray your job isn't snatched away from you. McCain's been in Washington almost 30 years, lived off tax payers for free and now wants us to believe he is not part of the problem. My friends McCain is the biggest problem and not a problem solver.

Way to go Senator Obama. Rise above the Karl Rove tactics and show the american people what plans you have to solve our economic issues.

Love the add. Stay away from the negative Senator Obama. Positive. Positive. Positive. This is what we need. Hope!

A Hillary Supporter.

Obama for 08!

very nice ad

Nova in a post above says if Obama taxes the Corporations that they will move overseas. News Flash. Bush does not tax them and yet they still move overseas to use cheap Chinese Labor and make cheap dangerous products. Obama will give Tax Incentives to Corporations that keep jobs in America. The Republicans economic arguements are shallow and hollow.

I have read the blogs today and they decry the constant staements that Obama supporters are negative. Hope and enthusiasm is what I observe from these supporters and our candidate.

Positive, Positive, Positive.!!!!!!!!!!..A good example for all....shows that Barack is thinking about the futureof our country, and Panama McSame is thinking about knocking us back into the Cold War.!!!!!!

It's the Economy and the Future Stupid!!!!!!

Barry Soetero was getting worried that Odinga and the missing proof of Citizenship were catching up with him. Surfing the day away, yeah thats what he should be doing right now. Can you hear the Cats purring? PRrrrrrrrrr!

Richard August 14th, 2008 11:13 am ET
Hillary supporter for McCain. A true American!!!!!

What is the definition of a true American? Serving in uniform?
Then more 3/4 of the country are not true Americans?
Or are true Americans the ones who send our troops to die in an unjust never-ending war? – those true Americans? BUSH, Cheney, McCain...
My brother is serving are you? Please take your divisive-bigoted rhetoric to your Klan meeting

Has anyone noticed that all the ticker articals have closed thier comments except this one. Way to destroy the party Hillary, and PUMAS

He's on vacation, there's a major "foreign policy" issue for McCain to salivate at, and Obama is still stealing news cycles. Man, just wait till this weekend when they have to speak about their faith in a joint town hall... I promise two things will happen McCain will start some of the most scurrilous and vicious attacks on Obama to date as his desperation becomes complete and Obama will finally show he is Head and sholders above McCain in every way. This might not move everyone to vote for him, but truth of who is the better candidate will no longer be in question.

This man is is so unusually positive and wise. I wonder how he can so clmly stand all that uglyness from Clintons and Mc Same. My only fear is – do we as nation deserve him or we need more of the same ??

Every time Obama has a plan, it shows how naive he is. The good part about the plan is that it panders for votes. The bad part is that "How can we realistically pay for all of this? The money has to come from somewhere. If he is going to tax business, the economy is going to get worse strain and business will move overseas. I thought people who support Obama are more educated. This man gives false hop in order to lure the young, naive, votes. It's really sad.

Fantastic Advertisement...that is what leadership and judgement is about...let's get working, Senator Obama!!!!!!!

Great ad!

The McSurge campaign is doing everything in their power to distract Obama and the public from the real issues facing the country – Energy, Home Foreclosures, Iraq/Afghanistan, Taxes, Jobs and Inflation. But Obama is just NOT giving in. The man doesn't rattle!

No doubt Obama should be taking all the 3AM phonecalls.

Straight up LIES....

Go look at Illinois people... the taxes there have run most buisness out. Rockford was a manufacturing leader in this country 30 years ago... and it's a ghost town now... so many companies are gone... it's sad.

Save that ad money, the Dem-o-c-"R-A-T-S" will win this election............use it to buy some "vacation property for G.W. Bush!"...........in Cali! I hear the prices are right!

Bring it on! It won't take much to beat "the ole' man"!

I really appreciate the Democrats' logic. They hate Corporate America. They hate rich people (does that include themselves?) so lets rob the rich to give to the poor. Or better yet, just shut down Corporate America and then see what happens to the Unemployment Rate, poverty level, etc. Everything wrong is the fault of the Republicans and President Bush (as if the Republicans don't have familes with special needs, diseases that inhabit our Earth or drink water, eat food, buy toys from China, etc.).

It might almost be worth it if Obama wins the election to put the shoe on the other foot and see what happens when the snap of his fingers don't cure all the ills and he gets blamed for all the wrongs. The only difference is Obama has very thin skin and can't stand being told he is wrong, so he will not fare thee well when the seas do not part in his favor!

Warning Democrats....Obama, if elected, is going to end up being your Bush nightmare.

Positive ads are gonna get the votes. You have the issues, the mindset, and now the level of Maturity over your opponent.

The Clinton's are a mess! I hate to see this side of them. I used to like them. I thought they cared about the American people but it is clear they are only thinking about themselves . I only pray for the chance to vote against any Clinton in any race. I will campainge against anyone named Clinton forever!!!!!!!!! There is no meaningful purpose to the Clinton's madness. They gets no love from me.

Another positive ad from Obama! Too bad the Republicans can only go negative. OBAMA 08!!

Good Ad .......Very Positive
Hillary to denounce PUMAs efforts to derail Obama.
HRC actions or lack of is encouraging her backers to cause disent
She just like a sly FOX

"Quick close the comments section for clinton's name going into nomination, that goes against our CNN and MSNBC candidate Barak Obama!"

She probably would have won the nomination if obama went to clinton's position earlier to count michigan and florida and not play politics and only do it now after the primaries when it suites him. (once again this was completely down played by the media and dnc – on a sunday and on 1 cnn ticker only) I bet obama is kicking himself for supporting full votes now. Either way, her name should be put in the nomination, just like at what has been done in the history of the DNC.

Obama supporters who is against this… what are you afraid of if he is THE ONE? You are afraid because you are starting the realize that everyone else is seeing him as all hype. Like the way he is hiding in "vacation" and copying Mccain's position on Georgia. He is practicing what he did in the state senate… poping in and out giving messages about the event and saying "present"… "I am here but I really have no position. I will criticize everyone elses though after they take a stand."

Clinton 08 (Obama in about 16 years)

Charlotte,

Shut up and stay under that republican rock. We all know you are one so please feel free to stop blogging and go back to your pathetic life – NOONE cares what you have to say anymore!

Great ad! We are pusing towards the finish line and the Gold is in sight!

ALL THE UNIONS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE BACKING

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITED STATES.

Comical.....................vote McCain or join the insane

What do they want to build? European Socialist Society in America? Listening to the speech in Europe and in the primaries that is the impression I get, but I was wrong about Russia being our best buddies also, NOT!

These ads highlight the main difference between Obama and McCain:

Obama has generally stuck to the issues.

McCain runs ads which avoid issues, slime his opponent and insult our intelligence.

richard- get a new line!

Hillary just can't help herself. She'll torpedo Obama's run for the white house at all costs so that she can ultimately run again 4 years from now, even if Bill will be on oxygen and a walker. The Clintons know no shame. Her arrogance will be the ultimate undoing of Obama, and once again the Dems will lose the election because they can't get it together with the right message.

Obama reminds me of Nicolas Cage in Moonstruck saying to Cher..."But I'm in love with you.. Cher slaps him in the face, and says, "Get over it!". Somebody needs to walk up to Obama, and slap him in the face, and get rid of Hillary. But we know that won't happen. Instead the Dems will once again shoot themselves in the foot, and lose the election to an even worse choice than Bush. We'll have yet another 4 years of Republicans running this country into the ground, and making the mess even bigger.

Obama is CREEPY!

Charlotte, you don't get it because it requires intelligence. Something you're painfully lacking. The gist of the ad is about putting the housing market back on track with Americans working.

The only thing wrong with that ad is that some of you just want to find fault with Obama no matter how positive the message is. That makes you and others like you just plain ol pathetic. Why don't you just come out and say that you're a racist and be done with it? I haven't heard McBrainless detail any plan for the American people. All I've heard from that guy is nothing but negative ads and vague comments about his potential policies and oh yeah, saber rattling against Russia.

Since its obvious you're voting for McCain why don't you just go to your nearest military recruiting station and offer your services in McBrainless' up coming war. Some people are just plain stupid.
No if, ands. or buts about it, just stupid......

Great Ad, go Obama.
But in regard to Hillary Clinton's name being placed in nomintation:
I think this is the most ridiculous aggrivating thing I have ever seen.
I don't care how many votes she got, SHE LOST FAIR AND SQUARE.
This is more like a Clinton Convention than anything else. Regardless of the fact that her run was historic, she and her husband have both been a giant pain in the butt, not to mention her PUMA people and these women who must be coddled because she lost, get over it.
She mismanaged her campaign, she played dirty, she lost. If this election is lost to the republicans we have noone to blame but the Clintons and the people who are so hard headed they can't see the forest for the trees. Hillary was not to good at making her decisions during her campaign, imagine if she had gotten the nomination.
I don't get it, I'm saddened by this decision and I will vote for Senator Obama, but I have just lost my enthusiasm for the Convention. I've probably watched every convention since I was a very young women, it was exciting. No more, this is merely going to be the Bill and Hillary show and I don't have the stomach for it.
Shame on you HIllary. You are not a leader, you are a self absorbed selfish and petulant woman. No wonder you didn't win.

the country is in debt up to it's ears and sen. obama is promising to spend billions maybe trillions more, and at the same time promising to cut tax breaks to the co. that are creating those jobs. bottom line for companies is profit. if they can't make it here they will go elsewhere or cut back on manpower.we are seeing with the Georgia fiasco how fragile peace is Banking his revenue on taking our troops out of iraq is responsible. we may have to deploy them elsewhere. promising people $1,000.00 energy rebate again is based on co. making windfall profits. like most of sen. obama's plans they are all based on ifs. what happens to his health plan if employers don't want to participate it will be expensive especially to the small and mid size businesses.making these promises based on ifs is misleading the public as they are just words not guaranties

One thing O'b;ah blah is good at is making speeches and doing ads - beyond that there are 1,000,000 US citizens more qualified to be President then him.

This country cannot afford Nobama – no way, no how, no clue.

On McCain and his comments to the Georgian president that he is "speaking for all Americans"! Please! John "StraightTalk" (NOT) McCain does not speak for all Americans! If Barack Obama had done this the biased media would be all over him for this foolishness! Barack went overseas and was well received by other countries (in fact, made America look good) yet here at home was criticized by the media and the right wing for for doing so! I am so sick and tired of the unfairness the media continues to show in this election! Just because John McCain is a former POW does not make him capable of leading our nation! McCain really and truly scares me! He seems to hiss when he speaks and that continuous "my friends" is unnerving to say the least. Wake up America!!!

Good God people, put the kool-aid down. Geez, talk about brainwashed.

Keep it up. If negative ads work then Obama needs to use them. He can't turn our country around if he's not in the White House.

It is refreshing to see a campaign ad that is talking about what his plans for the betterment of America. Great and he didn't try to denigrate his opponent with lies or inuendo's didn't even mention him.

I am wave 06 and I appove of this message!!!

WE HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT TO THE HIGHEST BIDDERS.

THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION, WITH THE MOST VIPEROUS

SUPPORT MCBUSH & LOBBYISTS CAN GIVE , IS

BUILDING A FOUR STAR HOTEL IN BAGHDAD, ONE OF

THOUSANDS OF PROJECTS, WITH OUR TAXES, WHILE

OUR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE & PEOPLE DO WITHOUT,

A LOT OF WITHOUT. DOESN'T SEEM TO PATRIOTIC TO US.

WAKE UP AMERICA. YOU ARE BEING HAD BIG TIME.

THIS MAN IS A TOTAL JOKE. HE IS SPENDING MILLIONS ON THESE ADD AND WE THE TAXPAYERS HAVE BEEN FOOTING THE BILL
FOR HIS SECURITY GUARDS. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHEN SOMEONE BECOMES THE NOMINEE< BUT FROM THE MINUTE
HE ANNOUNCED HE WAS RUNNING< WE HAD TO PAY FOR HIS SECURITY. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY OF THE OTHER
8 CANIDATES WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED.

Love the ad. It presents a much needed plan in a very positive way. I see nothing coming out of McCain's camp but negativity and fear – I see no feasible plans or platforms being talked about.

Obama 08

Love it! mcCains is depressing and all gloom and doom. If I had one foot in the coffin, I'd probably be the same way

Hillary support for Obama loves positive stuff. Thank you Mr. Obama for the good you and your campaign is doing.

We need some positive debate on the economy, foreign policies and your campaign is doing just that.

Democrate taking back the White House '08

...liberal policies got us into the mortgage mess, now Obama wants some government supported 'Green Jobs'??

What is Obama's energy plan?

No Coal.

No Nukes.

No Oil.

No plan!!

Get over him folks. The only plan Obama has for America is to turn us into a third world country owing our money to foreign countries.

Obama Campaign and Obama himself are tricky. They do not have any achievements and accomplishments to campaign for so they are taking shelter of Olympics. What a disgraceful campaign.

"Almost forgot, however, that the former President the phase is attributed to couldn't get anything done and led us into the Depression."

And he was also a republican that believed in trickle down too....

Keep up the good work Obama keep it positive way to go.

SENATOR OBAMA'S POSITIVE DIRECTION, IS UNFAMILIAR TO A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF AMERICAN'S

1- HILLIARY CLINTON
2- REPUBLICANS

THEY NEED TO BE ON A DIFFERENT PLANET! ! !

Has anyone noticed oil prices kept rising until Obama said he would get a a'windfall" profits tax on their profits, then prices suddenly dropped! Also observe that his backing of drilling leases is only after they start drilling on the millions of acres they are already leasing- that will keep the oil companies from just sitting on new oil until the prices rise even more.

The three bedroom ranch represents the American Dream which started in the 50's and got lost during Bush's administration. Obama will put it back in site for Ameicans. Go Obama!

of course the firefighters support obama, they know more than anyone how HORRIBLY bush and giuliani handled 9/11. giuliani is directly responsible for the deaths of many of the firemen; his LAME deal with motorola made him millions and gave our first responders COMPLETELY ineffective communications equipment. giuliani and bernard kerack are directly responsible for the deaths of most of the first responders in the world trade center.

Hey look, even more substance.

Meanwhile, has there been a single McCain ad that just talks about McCain and what he'll do, insteadof blindly attacking Obama?

Rudy NYC August 14th, 2008 11:11 am ET

Didn't they announce earlier this week that 2/3 of all US companies pay absolutely no taxes because of so many deduction loop holes?

AND

Remember that McCain wants to give them more. Does this mean that the government plans to give these companies thier operational funding?

It amazes me why any hard-working American would vote for McCain when he only fights to sell thier jobs to the highest bidders. And retirees feel that since that he is also an older person he would look out for them. News flash, John McCain only cares for his friends and the people who donate to his campaign.

May God continue to bless you Mr. Obama!

Obama, needs to get real. It was his party that pushed NAFTA through and ultimately lost all of those jobs. They did it in hopes of creating a more global economy, which is exactly what Obama wants more of. Penalizing the corporations for looking out after their stockholders will not replace those jobs. Those jobs are never coming back.

Maybe he should think about cutting a deal with the rest of the world to take Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid off our hands. Then maybe we can get about the business of really straightening out our problems.

Once again he provides the pretty picture at the end of the story, but provides no means to get there.

paulie_nj:

Because back in 2004, when Obama gave the keynote address
at the Democratic National Convention, he WAS a "little-known
state lawmaker from Illinois." Not so much anymore.

Why don't you read, process, and decipher what the article
was saying before you make a comment like that?

Obama is the same guy that told that American people that he would undo NAFTA while at the same time, telling the Canadian and Mexican governments to IGNORE what he was telling us.

Should we beleive Obama, or should the governments of Mexico and Canada beleive him???

Obama is LYING to somebody !!

Hilarious people think Obama "supporters" will vote in November. No way they make it to the polls. Even if they do, they might realize Obama just wants your 'change' in your pockets

NIce, uses the "build" theme.
Richard from 11:13, still waiting for you and others who take a similar position of Hillary or McCain to explain which policy positions McCain holds that Hillary holds. I can't think of one, but I'm willing to learn if you're willing to share.
Charlotte from 11:21, I understand your pain. CNN has allowed McCain's ads to play but they haven't been as gracious with Obama.
When you see the ad, which I saw on msnbc, people are building what appears to be a small house. Hence, a 3 bedroom ranch. But ranch isn't meant literally as in farm or ranch, just the style of home. Kind of like vs. a townhome.
Rob at 11:30, that's cold, my friend.

Won't change my vote–feel he is over exuberant and under qualified to pull even a portion of his agenda.

Absolutely dispute the "wrong ideas" he says need changing.
Russian is no longer an serious threat.
Saddham Hussein–even though he took "pot-shots" every day against our fighter plans patroling near his borders–is now gone and no threat.
We prevailed in the Balkans.
We have the richest standard of living, and the most luxurious way of life on the planet.
We stand as the only power with a presence in the middle east to prevent Iranian expansion into Iraq and beyond.

Obama had "zip" to do with that. He understands even less about why it even happened.

Millions of Americans have sacrificed to achieve our prominence on this planet–despite enemies in every sector who aggresively conspire daily to do us in (and have done so for hundreds of years).

We really need to think long and hard who will entrust this legacy to.

Gold for Obama!!!

GO FIGURE, AMERICA FIRST.

OBAMA IS MORE OF A PATRIOT THAN THE

ENTIRE BUSH ADMINISTRATION, MCBUSH,

& ALL THEIR CRONIES WHO HAVE MADE EVERY

ATTEMPT TO SELL US OUT TO ANYONE WITH A BUCK.

ALL OF THEM HAVE BETRAYED US IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.

Joe Kiloz.........More populist pap. When is CNN going to give us an accurate and balanced depiction of McCain's campaign.

When he stops lying! ..............Idiot!

Yea Oprah!! And all you people that are bashing Oprah would be singing a different tune if she were endorsing your candidate, so talk to the hand, cause everyone with any sense recognizes that when Oprah speaks, people listen. The woman has tremendous clout whether you want to admit it or not. You're sounding like jealous fools

and aliou FL..
did you really just say McCain's wife was handicapped?
Show some dignity here. She has done nothing to deserve you to talk about her. The woman has carpal tonnel syndrome, not a mental or physical defect. You want to say McCain was negative in his celebrity ad but here you are going after McCain's wife for having an irreversible condition affecting her wrist.

And obama needs to stick to positive ads.. his negative one had no affect at all

Hooray for positive ads discussing issues!

Good positive campaigning by Obama.

HIT HARD WHERE IT COUNTS OBAMA...

GOOD AD

THE TRUTH HURTS WORSE THAN FEAR...

LORD FORBID. A PRESIDENT WHO WILL ACTUALLY

WORK FOR OUR NEEDS & OUR FUTURE, INSTEAD

OF FOR HIMSELF & HIS LOBBYISTS. YES WE CAN.

What a waste of money on this stupid, say-nothing AD. With all of Obama's hollywood supporters can't he find a truely creative Ad company or director to say something unique and real in his ad. ?This is the same crap every politician has put out since the beginning of Ad's, targeting blue collar and union people.......snore! C'mon Obama, use those celebrity connections to come up with an Ad as inspiring as one of your speeches!. And stop copying your opponents Ad ideas (the 3am copy, the celebrity MCain copy)...get off your but and think for yourself.

Charlotte,

The three bedroom ranch must refere to the building that his "partner" who is inditied in Chicago must have built for the obama's

oooh rob, such a burn!! you guys are so clever!!

Hope they clean up their own crime riddens streets before that happens, if new york can, surly chicago can

We are still waitning for Panamanian McCain to show America what he is offering. So far it is nothing!

Obama for a new America!

Does this clown think he can do all the crap he says he's going to do single handedly? And, you idiot democRATS believe him? Is this the change you can believe in? Keep dreaming or come back down to reality! He is just one, emtpty suited, unexperienced black clown, pandering to all you kookaid drinkers.

Did Bush hand over the State department to be run from McCain campaign headquarters or do we have a parallel government run by McCain?

McCain-as-foreign-policy-authority is a myth; McCain has shown time and time again that, far from being an expert when it comes to foreign policy, he is frequently - and dangerously - clueless.

finally a President that cares about the people. this is the first time inmy life that i have been ashamed of my country and i'm 55. if Obama gets elected it will be the first time in my life that we will have a president that cares about WE THE PEOPLE. President Clinton came close but in the end he was the one that approve NAFTA. i hope people realize that we have a chance to elect a man that can bring pride back to we Americans. McCain wants more war he may even get into a pushing contest with Russia. that my friends could end up a war and if it does it will be the third world war. so think long and hard about this election it is the most important election in my lifetime. it's going to take a real leader to fix all the problems that King George made. think people it is so very important.

Dave in Houston,

Any idea how to pay for that? Who is going to pay the salaries of the workers when Obama and the Dems want to grind the companies down with taxes, regulation, and litigation exposure? Better to build windmills in China.

Who will pay the taxes to pay for the healthcare? All those workers at the nonexistent company that never set up shop because it was too expensive? Or all of us "weathy" who are reallocating our thousands (note, no billions here) so I don't pay tax on my cap gains or muni bond interest? Or who won't have jobs once Obama puts our employers out of business, or forces them offshore?

Obama ,Dean ,and Pelosi can all three dream on. It will become apparent at the convention,that Obama is a very flawed choice and unelectable. If they keep the pretense up,of Obama being uncontestable,they will throw this election to McCain,in on breath. It is very difficult,after all of Obama's questionable friendships,whether he is an American or a Taliban sleeper. His representative said on FOX NEWS last night,that Obama had no trouble,either,meshing his christian faith with pro-abortion,because the bible was pretty much ,fairytales,that could be loosely abandoned in context with todays living,and Obama had no quams about mixing the two. He is the fairytale my friends! But his fairytale,hopefully will end when he is feated by the PUMA's.

A plan to build with what money if he raises taxes on business's. There won't be any construction companies left to do this building. More empty suit rhetoric.

I THINK MCBUSH IS GOING TO SUE OBAMA

FOR BEING TOO PATRIOTIC. AFTER ALL

MCSENILE & FRIENDS CAN'T MAKE A BUCK

ON REBUILDING AMERICA OR TAKING CARE

OF IT'S PEOPLE & VETS.

LOVE IT !!! glad to see my donations are being spent in a positive way!!!!

John McCain can't keep up with Obama and offers no promise for the future.

Bury him Barack.

CHARLOTTE, WE KNEW YOU WOULDN'T GET IT. IT'S OVER YOUR HEAD HONEY. WHAT GRADE DID YOU FINISH AND WHERE?
Oh I am so sorry ask Richard and the others to help you out on this if they can OK (GOOD LUCK ON YOUR STUDIES).
Dave in ILL, can you walk up two or three flights of stairs without stopping to rest? Try it and see what happen, if you can your good to go, if not maybe you should try ORGANIC AND WORKING OUT ALONG WITH SEN OBAMA AND OTHERS FOR A BETTER HEALTH PROGRAM SIR. dON'T BE SO STUPID WHEN SOMEONE IS TRYING TO BETTER YOUR WAY OF LIFE. i BET YOU ANY THING THAT YOUR OVER WEIGH AND BITTER.
OBAMA 08/16

How could any of you Hillary supporters call yourself democrats? You guys are a disgrace to the Democratic party. Yea your candidate lost the nomination, so what move on and vote for the party's nominee. but no instead you gonna vote for the one person who hillary herself would run against if she had won. Have you looked at his policies are you guys insane. We better hope there are more wise people to vote for obama than foolish one's who will rather vote for Mccain. May god help us all

I thought companies were outsourcing jobs overseas because we have one of the highest corporate income taxes in the world.

We're not all Georgians! We're Americans tired of pre-emptive wars like Iraq and South Ossetia! It's all about the OIL...Big Oil, McSame's biggest contributor!

Keep the positive ads coming !!!! Enjoy what's left of your vacation.

McWarmonger is trying to stir up trouble around the world, but we know you won't take us to every corner of the world with war like he would. We believe in diplomacy and peace. We believe in you Barack.

Obama '08

THAT IS JUST NOT GOING TO FLY !!!

WE CAN'T START BUILDING AMERICA.

WE NEED TO BUILD IRAQ, THEN GEORGIA,

THEN WHO EVER or WHATEVER MCMORON

AND HIS LOBBYISTS CAN MAKE A BUCK ON.

Makes up for the extreme displeasure of watching a negative McCain ad during the Olympic Games opening ceremonies. How one could conceive running a negative political ad in the middle of a ceremony to encourage world unity and cooperation is beyond me.
My fellow Americans, too often we chose leaders based on how well they tear others down. Witness Bush and McCain in the 2000 primaries where Bush spread false rumors about McCain (yet McCain embraces him today). Witness Bush and the Swift-boaters – sure he won the election, but what did he do for this nation in the end? Consider that tearing things down and destruction may be the only things these people are good at – witness this devastating war in Iraq, our poor economy, etc. So I urge people to vote for leaders who show the most potential to BUILD things up and offer solutions. When you look at how negative the ads of the McCain have been in stark contrast to the mostly positive ads that Obama has aired, the choice should be clear- Obama is the candidate to build up America, McCain is the candidate to continue the destructive streak of George W. Bush and tear it down.

HEY WAIT!!! THATS HILARYS PLAN.

Might as well advertise fried chicken , watermellon & chitterlins on every table, that's just as believeable as what he says he will do. What he say's he will do and what he can do are two distinct issues, goes with the old paraphrase, wish in one hand and sh%# in the other and see which one fills first. Wake up people Nobama is preying on your sense of want, he should be presenting subject matter as to what he would like to accomplish, that would be realistic, but to stand up and say I will do these things is nothing more than unrealistic propaganda. Nobama and everyone that thinks he can do these things is living in a fairy tale world. We start refeering to NObama as Peter Pan.

Did he say how he will force the multinational companies to create, or even keep, jobs in the U.S. when he brands them as Public Enemy No. 1???

Capital goes where it is welcome, and stays where it is well-treated. Increasingly, that isn't here. This is why our tax code has a tax break called the Portfolio Interest Exemption for foreign debtholders. The key, however, is to be simply a debtholder, and not to actually do any business here.

And if you are going to do business here, it is better to be foreign-based since foreign companies cannot be taxed on all of their worldwide income by the IRS like US companies can. As Bud went, so goes Exxon, GM, Chrysler, Pfizer, . . .

Since CNN closed comments so quickly on the Pelosi comment, I decided to post my comment here. Please allow this post CNN, of course after your monitoring.

To those individuals who think Pelosi should be more tempered towards those disgruntled supporters of Sen. Clinton, I do not agree. In my opinion they are acting like spoiled children who didn't get that extra scoop of ice-cream on their cone.

C'mon people, she ran a good race. I was impressed with her and voted for her. I wanted to see her in the White House, but the race goes to the swift. And by the same token, Obama ran a good race as well. Yes, there were things said by both candidates that weren't exactly kosher, but all should be forgiven. After all there should be a greater good we all should be concerned with. John 'the expedient' McCain.

No point can tell this more than his bellicose verbiage against Russia this week. His obvious complicity with the Georgian government that was barely mentioned by the so-called press. His war like posturing, then his total agreement with the Bush administrations handling of the issue. There are far too many negatives about McCain that cannot go ignored. We as a people cannot afford to let this apparently senile man whose ideas are as ancient as the Persian empire.

Pelosi is correct in letting them know that they are acting irresponsible and obtuse. The issues at steak are entirely too important to be holding silly grudges and wasting votes on John McCain. People need to snap out of it before we end up seeing more of our son's and daughter's killed in action; before our economy becomes completely insolvent and non-existent, and before we see all of our jobs shipped over seas in the name of fair trade.

Now cut it out people. Don't make a mistake that will cause the end of this country. ..

Yay more gold for the USA,,,go OBAMA,,,first time voter here you got mine already and my family and friends and I have been asking people to vote for you as well lol
YES WE CAN!

Oh my, a candidate that's actually focusing on the issues, this is unthinkable! Quick republicans and puma throw in another attack ad!

Mike,

Bill clinton left a surplus, McBussh and Bush turned it into deficit. When will the repugs take any responsibility?

McSenile should be talking about economy, we don't want to Georgians, we don't want to be a part of new conflicts, we want out of Iraq, we want our $10 billions per month to be invested in our country to create jobs, good schools, better health care for all Americans;but what is McWar doing at age 72? He is acting like a senile child with his constant senile attack ads.

YOUR CLOSING THE COMMENT BOXS TOO QUICK. PELOSI IS PART OF THE DEMS PROBLEM. GET RID OF HER AND DEAN. MAYBE THEN THE CLINTON SUPPORTERS WILL VOTE DEMOCRATIC. I AM VOTING FOR CLINTON. NO MATTER WHAT PARTY SHES IN. SHES THE BETTER PERSON FOR THE JOB,

I'm glad to hear Obama is actually talking about what he'll do instead of just attacking his opponent like McCain is doing. My only question is how exactly are we going to create these jobs?

All McCain's interests have been focused on OIL and WAR. McCain hasn't shown one bit of interest towards helping Americans, our economy, our environment, or our troops.

Obama is for the PEOPLE and will do good for this country. Obama seems to have his heart set on changing things for the better. I truly believe Obama will have a positive impact and will work hard to make good judgment calls, which in turn, will give all our kids the chance to have a nice future.

I am a Hillary supporter and absolutely agree with nacy pelosi for a change. There is a minority out there. I think they are really republicans. It is time everyone supported the presumptive nominee. Time for everyone to fully back Obama for 08. It is done people.

We cannot afford another 8 years of McLie!

"Obama’s first Olympics buy was another positive spot, focused on his “green jobs” policy proposals"...

I love how Obama is making this election all about been postive. Sen. Obama you have my vote that is for damm sure!!!.. Sen. McCain should keep to his word of making this campgain about policy issues not negative attacks

I don't think the Ad is going to connect with the folks that he has already insulted to the Max!

Sorry BO Camp but the Bitter comment along with Rev. Wright are two big reasons you will loose this November!

McCain 08

for the pelosi post:

i'm glad to hear the PUMAs are just a tiny minority. the only place i ever hear them is on here, but they certainly are vocal.

i think it's really telling that for the longest time we all thought the PUMAs were actually rush limbought's operation chaos losers! doesnt say much about them or their "cause". i would be taking a very serious look at myself if i was mistaken for someone who supported the bloated pig rush limbought--you know you've got SERIOUS problems with your cause and yourself!

i am so disgusted with bill and hillary, i hope she doesnt have any future plans for running for president, cuz she would just end up in debt again. the VAST majority of democrats will NEVER EVER support her, ESPECIALLY if we lose to the disaster party this november!!!

Love to see positive ads, we need our country to go in a positive direction! Go Obama.

Obama was recently described by CCN contributors as "a little-known state lawmaker from Illinois". Not a great boost for someone who is supposed to be able to lead our country IF elected.

good ad. very positive.

Firefighters union for Obama; now that's job security. They'll have more fires to fight if he gets in.

Charlotte try watching the ad.

When Chairman Gwatney of Arkansas was mowed down, the so-called Clinton supporters showed their true colors – and they weren't pretty!

Instead of responding to the tragedy with condolensces, they responded with hatred and with conspiracy theories. If one ever needed an excuse to distance oneself from these crazies, they've definitely got one now.

But the really sad thing is the failure of the Clintons to make anything but half-hearted attempts to heal the wounds they largely created in the Democratic Paryt

Charlotte ... remove Hillary in front your face ... & you'll get the connection

Yawn.

NObama 08

Charlotte,

The three bedroom ranch must refere to the building that his "partner" who is inditied in Chicago must have built for the obama's

Very impressive! Keep the ads positive!!!!

Lead via VISION and not via FEAR mongering... excellent Obama!!

Obama needs some negative ads. But since he can't do it, how about we hold a contest of the most negative ads on McBush Mcsame or Mc100 years wars teams?
no. wait, add the theme of McHero who can't stand up for his own handicaped wife?

Obama's campaign should be:

Jobs. Energy. Jobs. Health Care. Jobs.

National security is based on a strong domestic economy. Jobs.

Did I mention jobs?

Obama = Positive messages Americans want to hear.

Mc$ame = negative, wrinkley old gray-haired man

Negative ads work just ask Kerry about the swift boat ads... no If McSame want to go negative then Obama should go negative too... this is not a nice game of "football" we are watching Obama is fighting to be our leadeer and to support and help America and the world he is fighting the most important fight of the century.... I think the media is too nice to McCain as they watch Obama closely... why haven't we heard more about McBush first wife? the one he traded in for Cindy.... speaking of Cindy did you see the wrap on her arm from shaking hands? PLEASE see the McCains are old and brittle & has no right trying to be the first family....

A three bedroom ranch or a three bedroom house. There is a difference between a ranch and a house, isn't there?

you people need to see a shrink, there is something wrong with you

Good one! Sticking with the issues, I like it!

Obama '08

save it for 2020 when obama has some experience.Hillary 2012

I don't get it? Three bedroom ranch? What does that have to do with anything? I get nothing from this ad, I read it three times and still don't get the connection to a three bedroom ranch.

KICK BUTT.

OBAMA.....08

Stay positive Obama we got your back!!!

Interesting that McCain gets blamed for the loss of Ohio jobs, when Bill Clinton is the one who pushed for NAFTA. when you don't have a record of your own, you can only lie about the other guy's.

Yes, and please make sure to post this tasteful ad in between the highly publicized sprints because many of us will be watching to see the fastest man and woman in the world blaze away in glory!

Maybe Obama could borrow a phrase from a former President who promised everyone prosperity with "a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage". He could update it to "An organic chicken in every pot and an electric car in every garage" to be more politically correct.

Almost forgot, however, that the former President the phase is attributed to couldn't get anything done and led us into the Depression.

The MAN with the PLAN.......Obama 08

More populist pap. When is CNN going to give us an accurate and balanced depiction of McCain's campaign. I was schocked to see the photos in Mr. McCains daughter's blog site. It was amazing to see the crowds that come out to his town halls and the reception he is receiving.

The site is McCainblogette.com.

Dare you to print it CNN

Someone tell us how the CIA AND the BUSH people had no ideal that russia was up to this! Let's just say somehow they missed it. LOL

If McCain wants to go negative he can't expect Obama just to sit back and take it. He better expect a fierce response. McCain started it plain and simple and Obama has no choice but to respond to McCain's lies and deceits.

Wait... no references to celebrities? No middle school humor? No outright lies about your opponent?

Thank you, Sen. Obama, for once again choosing to take the high road and talk about real issues instead of spewing venom (unlike someone we know).

Just say NO to McSame.

Hillary supporter for McCain. A true American!!!!!

Way to go Bam! Keep up the great work! This is how real men fight!

"We are all Georgians"

He can't find it on a map, but he wants you to go die for the pipe line that crosses it.

Saddle up CONSERVATIVES, this is your new leader.

It’s a national experiment on what works. Positive or Negative. Hope or Fear. Peace or War. I’m hopeful.

Didn't they announce earlier this week that 2/3 of all US companies pay absolutely no taxes because of so many deduction loop holes?

This is a positively wonderful ad!

IF THE ELECTIONS WERE THE OLYMPICS OBAMA WOULD HOLD THE GOLD. LET'S GO O!

People don't watch the Olympics with a negative attitude. Maybe Bushy McSame should run his spots on some other venu. Obama has the ideas and the positive message.

Good stuff, keep it coming!!!! Yes we can

Obama 08/12!!
