Report Card: Will You Watch Obama’s Infomercial?

Yep.

Nope I will not watch. I stop watching ABC since the one sided election coverage in all your \ programming. You report lies!! I was flipping channels and briefly saw tonight you are reporting white supremacy. HOW ABOUT Jeramiajh Wright and Father Flagrant and Louis Farrakan. They are not racist and preach segregation?? Where is ABC sense of reporting ??? Lost in 2008.

yup

yes i will definately be watching!

The only ones who will watch this are those that have already made up their minds to vote for Obama. I am still an undecided and I wouldn’t watch a 30 minute ad by either candidate. I have much better things to do with my time. This money is wasted and that is a shame considering the state of our economy.

I most certainly will be watching. Will be refreshing to see Obama speak uninterrupted. He has to clear up all the lies, rumors, and untruths that McCain, Palin, and their cronies have been trying to con the electorate with.

This idiot is only about HIMSELF …
Mind you, he wants us all to use 8 hours of vacation FOR HIM …
HE WANTS YOU TO SPREAD YOUR VACATION AROUND BESIDES YOUR INCOME, AMERICA
HE WANTS YOU TO SPREAD YOUR VACATION TO HIM … MIND YOU, TAKE 8 HOURS OFF TO VOTE FOR HIM?
WHAT A FREAK … !!!! I GOT MORE USE FOR MY 8 HOURS THAN TO GIVE IT TO YOU, FREAK

No — I don’t need to listen to Barack explain more ways in which he will spread the wealth around. If I wanted to live under socialism, I’d move to another country. I think this guy is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Yes, I am have been looking forward to watching our future President!!!

Yes, I will watch.
Most of the people with the negative comments make less than $250,000 and some have no health insurance. This should be a no brainer about the vote but not everyone has a brain. Fortunately, I get it.

Jessica,
Don’t hate.

Would not miss it. Even though I already voted same day as Bush and am happy to say I CANCELLED Bush’s vote out. hhahahahaha.

yeah ill watch it, what’ll he lie about next??? (sarc.)

Won’t be watching and I find it hard to believe more people haven’t seen through Obama and his slick, snake oil salesman, rhetoric. I have a real problem listening to anyone that wants to ‘redistribute wealth’ to those who haven’t earned it. The last thing we need is more government run entitlement programs.

Of course. I like to be an educated voter and see all sides. If McCain was doing one I’d watch his too.

I will be watching. I enjoy all his speeches, and I won’t mind watching him again.I can’t wait to see the difference he will be making.

Obama is wasting his money big time for the prime time infomercial.
People are already sick of hearing too much about Obama considering the sickening media bias in this campaign and Obama’s tactics are backfiring.
As they say, a fool and his money are easily parted.

No why would I watch anything has to to do with a bunch of liberal democrat lies. That is why our country is where it is now. They have been in control since 2006! NOT THE REPUBLICANS.

Sorry you’re wrong. Anytime Obama does a speech his poll numbers go up along with his favor ability.
You might be decided, but there are still many who are not.
Why do you think Obama got so far ? His voice. His vision.
It’s funny you say it’s a waste, but he is the one polling at an average of 50%.
Seems to be working just fine.

That is laughable. When we look back in history does anyone blame congress? NO. When we look back, whether its positive or negative it falls on the President.
If the President saw something wrong with something Congress has done he can issue a Signing Statement [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signing_statements ] and fix it. It seems Bush hasn’t had a problem issuing 110 already… This is why when we look back on history, bad or good things fall on the PRESIDENT, NOT congress. Please tell me where we have ever look back in history and blamed congress. Everything falls on the President because he is in charge.

The only ones who will watch this are those that have already made up their minds to vote for Obama. I am still an undecided and I wouldn’t watch a 30 minute ad by either candidate. I have much better things to do with my time
________________________________
yea right…if you really were “undecided”, you would want to watch it.

Yes I will watch, we in OH need help, the Republican’s I do not think even know we are on the map. They do for election’s only, then they forget we part of the United States. We are not Washington, DC. but OHIO.

No history does not blame congress but they are really the ones charge. Everything is blamed on Bush from hurricanes to earthquakes. Obama even blames Bush.

I can not believe all the stupid things some people on this post are saying. Enough already. Do you honestly think that if Obama wasn’t a US citizen he’d be running for president? or if he was a muslim? I keep seeing these comments on ALL the news posts. go check the facts! (it’s called Google!)
McCain has shady aquaintances too. Again check the facts!

Look all you stupid democrats. Do you really believe that Obama has the experience to bring our cuontry out of this economics problem we face. Not a chance. He is a nobody from the senate. I truly dont know what happened to the democratic party. Bill Clinton is smart as hell. And then you bring obama to the plate. Poor guy hope Biden is ready lead.

Why isn’t Obama in jail already?
Because all the things that are said about him are LIES….
Republicans have nothing about Obama so they lie.
Republicans do not care for the country.They only care to remain in power.
That is all!
ENOUGH OF REPUBLICAN LIES AND MANIPULATIONS.

God is not for Republicans.
God is for Democrats.
After 8 years of disgraces:
9/11
Katrina
War
Job losses
Home losses
Economic Meltdown
How many more hints from God do we need to understand that we are on the wrong side of things.
God is telling US that we are misreading His message.
It is time to be on God’s side.

POTUS OBAMA – Making History on the heads of Cynics

I cant BELIEVE ANYONE ON THIS POST would actually vote for 4 MORE YEARS OF WHAT WE’VE JUST BEEN THROUGH.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE UPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!! I hope your all doing well on the money, health care, job, and housing fronts because these necessities do not care if your Democrat or Republican.
WAKE UP……………..

No lynn………May Allah help you. It appears you will be needing it more than anyone within the United States.

Remember: The Spaceship lands November 4th. A Biracial Man with a funny name will be at the helm.
Obama/Biden 08/12

History shows that when the world evolves into an crisis condition an extraordinary person rises to become the exemplary role model for all.
I believe Barack Obama will prove himself to be this kind of leader. I also see him redefining class from being something judged by how much money you make into something that is measured by how you treat other people.
This kind of change is that the world needs to overcome the catastrophe at hand. Over two hundred years after the White house was built by slaves I am in awe that I have lived to finally see a family of color take residence there as the leader of our nation that their ancestors worked tirelessly to help build.
The next historical chapter of American history is about to begin….and we were all here helping it to happen!!! WOW!

I hope that we will get more insight about the fixes he has planned for this anemic economy and other issues this country is facing.
Obama/Biden 08′

I wished Obama would cut loose the horses and tell the world all that the republican majority has done to cause the economic disaster. Deregulation of Oil, Wall Street, the banking industry and big business… will cost trillions of dollars to arrest and repair. The damage they have done will take over a decade to fix and that is only if we have the best honest people fixing it….
Let the dogs out Barack and tell us what they did to rob us blind!!!
My dollar is only worth a fifty cents to a quarter at the grocery store. My dollar was only a quarter at the gas pumps until recently when the Bush’s told the Saudis that republicans would be wiped out of Congress and the gig would be up if they didn’t drop the bottom out of gas prices….
It’s just this simple…. If your not worth four time what you were eight years ago and making at least four times as much annually you have gotten poorer…under republican leadership….
Republicans are willing to say anything in their campaigns because they have done nothing to brag about. Plus they have everything to fear if their track record is examined by voters before Nov. 4th….
Clean republicans out of politics and save the American Dream!!!

Barack Obama clearly demonstrated that his campaign promises are meaningless when he turned down public financing and voted for FISA. Why bother listen to another word he has to say? He is just another lying politician doing what is best for himself.

Evidence of RNC Robo-Comments jam the web.
Notice how McCain and McCain supporters are only able to regurgitate attack ad venom and twisted talking points. Try making an argument, or making sense, or telling the truth.
I bet Obama will spend most of his half hour making a case for a way forward in the world, rather that casting dispersion on his opponent. Spite and Fear can only lead further into the darkness. Hope and Love are the only way back to the light.
The Sun will shine again Tuesday night!

I wouldn’t miss it. I am a marketing guy. My skill set is advertising designed to motivate people to do something. Obama’s infomercial is exactly that. I happen to love the guy, so I’d watch it anyway. But as you can see, I also have a professional interest.

I will be watching the next president of these United States, Barack Obama! By the way! my friend in the military in Iraq told me that most of his friends in the military are voting for Obama..for that I say well done!

Ladies, and Gentlemen,The next president of the United States of America! Barack Obama! He is smart, intelligent,can speak a sentence correctly, articulate, evenheaded, believes in commonsense diplomacy, believes that you build the economy by investing in the middle class, does not believe in trickle down voodoo economics like George W and McCain, and he’s ready to assume the most powerful office in the world. The world has already voted for him to bring a modicum of peace and commonsense to our foreign policy. Let us not disappoint the world and vote for Obama..John McCain is George Bush all over again and Palin is Cheney in a dress.

chad,
If Obama can convince people through infomercials and tv ads then why he has not manage to seal the deal despite spending more than 500 million dollars on the campaign so far?
Obama is a ego maniac who wastes money like water, you can be sure that his infomericals wont work and will backfire on his campaign. It will be a total bore and most people who watch will be dedicated Obama voters and not the undecided voters in this election.

ABSOLUTELY YES!! We’ll be watching Obama with great hopes for the future with him as our next President. I pray that he will be able to bring our troups home soon. WAR is TERRORISM with a BIGGER BUDGET!!! PEACE takes COURAGE!!!

I think many people watch this commercial with different reason.
1)Lean obama people will watch carefully to be assured of their decision.
2) strong obama supporters will watch with enthusiasm.
3) Diehard Maccain supporters will watch it for curiosity… just like I was watching RNC convention.
Only people who are not interested in this election, who will probably stay at home will not watch this.

I wouldn’t waste my time and electricity. I’m sick and tired of hearing and seeing him on TV along with his buddies, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Christopher Dodd. I have no respect for an individual who seeks to be elected President of the United States and refuses to salute and show respect to the U.S. Flag. Also, his wife, who stated she is finally proud to be an American. When I see the huge crowds that follow Obama, I think of Hitler and the 3rd Reich. During this campaign, I’ve thought many times of my deceased father, a Democrat and a proud WW II veteran. He fought in Hitler’s Germany to preserve our freedoms. If only he would hear/see the comments/actions of the Obama’s, he’d turn over in his grave.

No Thanks. I’d much rather watch Hillary run again (and win!) in 2012, regardless of her recent (obligatory) campaigning for the guy.

No!! Why watch someone that would and has led our great country down the same old road that his ancestors in Kenya led theirs?

The only reason Obama has not sealed the deal in this campaign is due to his race. You know it and I know it. Stop asking the obvious!

Absolutely. He needs this time to counter the 24/7 smears from Fox Faux.

Yes I will.
And if McCain were doing one, I would watch his too even though I am an Obama supporter.

Yes, I will be watching to what our next president has to say. And he has my vote. He is a gentleman. He never did say anything negative about McCain & Palin.
Obama/Biden you have my vote.

Pubs are all upset that Obama is once again one step ahead of their weak candidates.
Heck yah, we’ll be watching our next President.

PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!
Only 6 more days!

I’m certain Obama won’t waste our time making personal attacks that have no relevance to our nation.
Seems that the only thing McCain and Palin have been able to do.
Republicans keep usig the “We really suck, but listen to this acusation” strategy. Not going to work this time.

No, I won’t watch it. I’m sure you and the rest of the mainstream media will restate it over and over for the next week, all in you your effort to get him elected.

The thought of Obama winning is just awful. His deception, arrogance and his belief that he is
‘the one’ and refusing to produce his BIRTH CERTIFICATE is downright scarry. This is a man who should NOT be running for the highest office in the USA.
I have been praying very hard to God that this person does not get voted in. Imagine Obama’s true feelings about our CONSTITUTION. Enough is enough and I have had ENOUGH of Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Must see TV.

Bout time we put down the “good ole boys” with their bail-outs, thieving and other scams against the taxpayer. You worry about socialism? What the hay do you think the bail-out is? Taking your tax $$$$ and re-distributing it to the wealthy fat catz while next year the fat catz will sock it to you with higher interest rates, fees, prices and lower paying or no jobs!!! They are laughing all the way to the bank!! Not to mention how the American image has been disatrously sullied with a criminal face! All this under a Republican watch!!! McCain voted against minimum wage increase 19 times!!! Figure it out. Bout time for FRESH BLOOD!!! Watch the big O and vote the big O . Time for the “good ole boys to slither back under the rocks they came from!!!

NO NO NO……………. Don’t know the truth about this guy !

No — will not be watching. BO will say nothing new, just the same load of BS that he will contradict IF he is elected. As far as democrats in power – hello!!! WAKE UP!!! The democratics got us into this financial mess by sweeping it all under the rug and saying everything was fine! Do you think a democratic leader is going to FIX IT?? I will be voting MCCAIN/PALIN come next Tuesday! I’d rather not have a couple of LAWYERS running my country!! VOTE MCCAIN/PALIN!!!

Maybe you didn’t hear me the first time.
No EFFIN” WAY!!!

Wouldn’t watch him if my life depended on it. Oh wait a minute if he gets elected my life will depend on the government. Unfortunatally the liberal media has been endorcing this man. We do not know this man at all if we did he wouldn’t have gotten to where he is at right now. Shame on the liberial media. Shame on you ABC

yes, history shows extraordinary people rise in times of crisis—like HITLER? Germany thought he would be their great savior and would make them a world leader. Children sang songs about him and people treated him like the messiah and he gave exciting speeches at huge rallies–sound familiar?
pt-the BAILOUT was the Democrats idea–Pelosi and Barney Frank were the ones on tv trying to convince the American public is was needed–they are DEMOCRATS like Obama–it will be more of the same–more bailouts, more tax and spend if we are stupid enough to elect him.
and to the person who called McCain a chicken–would you like to volunteer for 5 years in a torture chamber? I don’t think you could handle one day of it. Please remember that this man fought for his country, suffered for his country, and has served his country in the military—Obama has only served himself. He’s been in the Senate for 4 years, but has spent 2 years of the 4 running for President. He is all about himself.
Oh, and God is for the Democrats? Do you honestly think that 9-11 was Bush’s fault? Do the research. We had the opportunity to take out Bin Laden when Bill Clinton was President, but he wouldn’t approve the strike. And Katrina? Do you really think that politicians control hurricanes and tornados? Yes, the response was bad, but it was mostly due to the fact that the DEMOCRATS who were in charge of Louisiana did not have an adequate evacuation or recovery plan and had squandered the money that was supposed to be used to upgrade the levies.
Tonight’s infomercial is a waste of America’s time and of money that could be used to buy back a lot of foreclosed homes, or feed the hungry, or provide health care for those without insurance–but I guess face time on tv is more important to Obama.

No. I’m just oversaturated and bored out of my mind with this election. I can’t watch one more commercial, sorry. Plus sincerely after I heard in the news how much Obama has spent in his campaign, especially with our economy and our trillions of dollars in deficit, there is no way that I’ll watch an infomercial that has cost a cool million. It is obscene and unnecessary. For shame.

Wow – I didn’t know that so many bitter Repulicans were on the ABC News message boards. Hi bitter Republicans! We want our country back now. You’ve had your turn and you really screwed up – so step aside now. NOW!
Oh, and answer me this. Why do people keep complaining about how much Obama spent/is spending on his campaign? I don’t think he can give his campaign money away to a non-profit Sabrina because that money came from campaign supporters (like me) who want to see that money spent on making him president. If people choose to give Obama money, even in the current economy, isn’t it their business? Or are you saying people can’t spend their money how they decide?

Speaking of homes…maybe McCain can give up one of his to a needy family?

As a Toronto [Canada] resident I find American political elections very interesting. It is the rich diversity in the USA of opposing views that make websurfing for 45 minutes worth my time relaxing at the end of the day with my laptop. There seems to be very little middle-ground from comments I have read tonight, and the polar views either for or against each candidate are entertaining to read.
I only wish our political leaders during elections had the financial ability to drum up commercials and rallies and bring about as much passion as many people here write about.
Whichever candidate your citizens choose, I wish you the best of luck in a world of uncertainty, and that you can all put food on the table for your families.

No I didn’t see it and I think He should have given the money to some of the programs He claims he will start or give it to the poor people he say’s he will take care of with my MONEY AND LEAVE MY MONEY ALONE <I WORK TO PAY FOR THE THINGS I WANT !!!! GET off your BUTTS AND DO THE SAME ,I"M SICK OF THE GOVERMENT HANDOUTS

NO – after 22 months of this most voters are tired of it & have made up their minds. I was totally turned off & turned my TV off and read a book! Such an excessive spending of $ when he is trying to convince voters he is on their side. I think NOT!!

No, I was in church. I’m amazed that it was broadcast when most Christians would be at Wednesday night service. Doesn’t anyone remember that our health care premiums were taxed, paid with after tax dollars, before 403b over 20 years ago? Not that I believe in any new taxes right now. Neither candidate has shown me what they plan to do that will really help those who need it most, the unemployed and homeless. What the heck good is a tax cut for someone who doesn’t make enough to file taxes?

Why did y ou all want my email address? Are you randomly checking to find dirt on any Joe Public that has the nerve to ask a simple honest question. Watch out media, the same strong arm tactics as Biden did to Ms West may come back to bite you. Also, what did the deceiver say last night, $200000??????
