The Onslaught Is About To Begin

Filed under: TV News > Barack Obama

wenn5112364__opt.jpg

Get ready to see Barack Obama all over TV in America.

The Democratic presidential hopeful has just made a huge ad buy for the Olympics.

Obama is spending $5 million to buy commercial time during the games.

Wise move?

Money spent well???

Barack is targeting the nation and not just specific battleground states.

You know what? He's got so much money in fundraising, he can afford it!

    its an interesting country that a guy with virtually no significant accomplishments can get the democratic nomination for Pres. this guy is JV (junior varsity). nice guy- but lets take another look when the training wheels are off. he's changed his position 10 times after he actually learns what the hell is going on in the world. he is a salesman.

    I really hope he becomes our next President. I love everything about him and I am just so sick to my stomach having to live in this hick-vile area hearing people call him the n word and a terrorist. It's so sad that people can be so hateful and not even know what he stands for. If we're going to expect to come together and make this country stronger people have to realize that another old white dude isn't going to be the one to make it happen. black is the new president bitch!

    I'm already tired of looking at him and hearing his voice.
    I was pissed when he was running commercials during the Super Bowl in January!
    Too much of this guy, honestly. I'm seeing him way too much, hearing him too much. The American Media keeps sucking his ass and I'm tired of it.
    Personally, I think there is going to be a backlash against Obama in a big way.
    Too much of a "good thing" is never good for anyone.
    I think I'll boycott the Olympics because I'm protesting Obama, not the Chinese.

    According to Drudge, BO spent a whole whopping 4 minutes at the wailing wall. He commented, "I didn't know a wall could stink like that. Must be from all those Jews smearing their noses on it, I'm outta here!"

    Re: not f – Sorry, you obviously haven't done your research. Leadership ability, number 1., is most important- as is surrounding yourself with the right people (as he must have, to beat the Clinton Machine) McCain is a total joke for reasons too many to list here.

    Just do some background work before you make those comments.

    don't think so, the olympics do not get the best ratings and even with that, it depends during what event the commercial is shown. what I think is far worse is the sinfully large amount of money being spent on this election. Yes, I know the money is donated, but both have around 95 million to spend as of a few weeks ago, both raising over 50 mill in june. I wish with all the cutbacks in this country, some of these donations would have been made to charities, etc.

    You can spend all the money in the world, convince voters that you are the right candidate and win an election BUT, being the worse person for the job will never amount to much. He will drive this country into the ground with his flip-flopping policies and his inability to provide answers due to his inexperience. If you think you don't make enough money when you get your paycheck, JUST WAIT. He will take almost everything you worked hard for and give it to the people who like to sit on their asses. I promise. Educate yourselves before you vote — please. Having a republican in office isn't as bad as you may think it is. PLEASE educate yourselves. Get off the bandwagon.

    Let's not forget the reason he has so much money is that he flipped on the subject of public financing, something he was adamantly for all candidates accepting just 6 months ago. Another example of "changing his mind".

    Re: slut
    black ain't the new color. black ain't the new president. this country is not ready for a black pres. obam bam has sold a book, and became a senator. now he is visiting europe and the mid-east. experience??? has none. just b/c he is a nigga does not qualify him to hold the highest office in this country. those who support this "person" have to look @ his record. look @ what he has said and done. he flip flops more than john queery.

    Personally, although I myself support Barack Obama and his promises, I think that it's sickening to think of how much money in advertising is wasted in these campaigns when in recent news we've been hearing nothing but stories of people losing their jobs. 5 million dollars is alot of money that could have gone to some philanthropic organization but instead is being thrown away on television advertisements that serve no value other than to inform the American voters about something they already know. Sure, advertising is important, but in many cases the candidates get plenty of free advertising on news programs where the campaign is discussed almost nonstop.

    Is there anyone in America who HASN'T heard of Barack Obama by now and know what the guy is about? This is just overkill. I'm already tired of all him. I was all for him back in January, but, the more I hear about him and he shows he's just another win-at-any-cost politician, the more I dislike him and wish he would just go away.

    I'm tired of Obama. His camp called the house THREE times a day during the PA Primary. Once was a recording of him and twice was people telling me to vote for him. This went on for over a week. I told them I'd vote for McCain just because Obama is so annoying w/ the phone calls. This presidential election is proving to be more bleak than the last one. How is it possible that there is always some form of moron in office?

    Unfortunately so many Americans are so stupid, nieve and drink the kool aid that they are going to vote and even believe this jack-ass. This man is a joke, nothing more than an elegant speaker. From a default that put him in Congree, to 142 days in congress to president. Americans….you really are the dumbest nation !

    Barack HUSSEIN Obama is nothing more than a facade ! Bye bye healthcare, bye bye the need for hard worker, and welcome to Barack and his redistribution of wealth. Steal from the hard working and rich and give to the free loading, uneducated, unethical, unmotivated leaches !

    oh. let the press do the talking. I wish all the campaign money was donated into competitive scholarship funds for students wishing to pursue careers in public service. Then when a scholarship was given away by a campaigning candidate the press would cover the story. There ya go. Helping our nation's youth, getting campaign coverage and being innovative. 5 million dollars for 30 seconds during the olympics is a waste. 5M is a enough to send 100 students to Big Ten universities for four years.

    Oh Mario, you're so good in gossip yet so bad in politics. You're not old enough to remember the pure misery of the Carter years so you have no idea what kind of damage crazy leftists can do. The bad news is that Obama is even to the left of Jimmy Carter so if you're anxious to see what real hell is like in America, keep supporting Obama.
