Is Obama on tonight or not?

mccain should make a 30 minute propaganda film too...there wasn't enough time in the debates and the 10 second news clips to properly explain his plan

McCain would spend 30 minutes about why Obama is a black, Arab, socialist terrorist, and baby killer, and he would never get to his plan. "My friends, I have run out of time..."

[maladroit]

HA!

there isn't enough evidence of that to fill 5 minutes so he'd have to use footage of ordinary americans who are terrified of having a muslim president who will lead blacks to rise up and enslave whitey to build mosques for our new terrorist overlords

mccain does have a plan for america (besides attacking obama)...he should produce a video about it, pehaps in a town hall setting, or amongst a random angry mob armed with pitchforks and torches


back to the obammercial:
he didn't clearly explain how he was going to deal with the debt, or medicare, or social security...those problems are going to swamp the federal government

We'll see how it turns out. I agree that it was sort of a risky move in some ways to throw something like this out there at this point. Why rock the boat when you are ahead? But I thought it was well-done and could sway some undecides. We shall see.

I thought it was pretty good. I'm not sure how it could be called propaganda when it shows a lot of true to life material, but oh well.

Much of everything that's seen on TV this past year has been propaganda.

there's good propaganda and bad propaganda...obama making a video about his presidential plan for america where nobody can question him is definitely propaganda...whether that is good propaganda or bad propaganda depends on the individual receiving the message i guess...i thought it was reasonably good: positive, slick, personal, emotional...obama could have won an oscar if he included a love interest and a car chase in the plot

It was more of a drama than an action flick, but definitely Oscar-worthy. My wife got a bit misty-eyed near the end, but then she also cries during detergent commercials.

my heart broke when that old guy started crying about getting his pension ripped off...if they played string music during that part i would have bawled my eyes out
