Obama Advertising Within a Video Game

Good for Obama…
Leave no stone unturned!!!

you really have to love how the obama camp has run this campaign…
they are unprecedented and have forever changed politics and running for the presidency.. in fact they have defined what modern politics will look like.
expect people to write many books about how outstanding this campaign has been…
well especially if they win.

at least this celebrity doesnt abuse his power like some other candidates currently in this race that, who, also is a celebrity oh its all got to be about job creation too.

Smart move, gets the kids involved and asking questions.

In a related item, McCain has bought the rights to include an advertisement in the Atari 2600 game, Pole Position.

Nobody reads ads on video games. The action is too fast – you pass the billboard in milliseconds, the viewing angle totally different.
(The view shown in the article link one would never see in the game.)
For the vast majority Young people don’t vote.

Hey I’ve seen this.
It shows the people of the game standing facing the signs with their left hand over their chests and their right arm fully extended towards the pic of Obama.

On the one hand you have Obama using creativity to advertise himself and on the other you have McCain basing his campaign on name calling. Yeah, Obama wins.

OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST!
HIS MOST RECENT SERMON CLAIMS:
“I THINK WHEN YOU SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND, IT’S GOOD FOR EVERYBODY.” What Barack means is for government taking from one group of people (the people who worked hard and earned it) and giving it to those who did not earned it (welfare cheats).
WELCOME TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA’S NEW AMERICA, IT’S CALLED REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH and his tax cuts for 95% of America is nothing more than Government welfare for people that don’t pay taxes at all. Haven’t we already been down this path ? This was done in the 70’s and the Democrats are bent on bringing it back.
One of Barack Obama’s most potent campaign claims is that he’ll cut taxes for no less than 95% of “working families.” He’s even promising to cut taxes enough that the government’s tax share of GDP will be no more than 18.2% — which is lower than it is today.
It’s a clever pitch, because it lets him pose as a middle-class tax cutter while disguising that he’s also proposing one of the largest tax increases ever on the other 5%. But how does he conjure this miracle, especially since more than a third of all Americans already pay no income taxes at all? There are several sleights of hand, but the most creative is to redefine the meaning of “tax cut.”
For Barack Hussein Obama, a tax cut is no longer letting you keep more of what you earn. IN HIS REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH PLAN, A TAX CUT INCLUDES TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS THAT ARE DISGUISED BY THE PHRASE “TAX CREDIT.”
Will hard working Americans support to cater to the ”parasite class” and bury the American worker further? Mission almost accomplished.
UNLESS YOU VOTE FOR THE PATRIOT JOHN MCCAIN, AND PRESERVE AMERICA AND OUR AMERICAN VALUES!

Don’t hate the player…hate the game. :-)

McCain was the first! He picked Ms. Pac-Man on his ticket.

LOL, Reason, you’re a fool for that one…I like that!
“We don’t need that; we just need to vote is all we need to do”- Obama
O and Joe 08

Bullet train to the future just blew past model t McCain, the young generation will have a say from now on…

Jake, get hep to 2008, dude.

Obama should use a pin ball machine – it best reflects the erratic bouncing around of John McCain. McCain has become irrelevant. …………..

SOCIALIST?
Obama to Plumber: My Plan Will ‘Spread the Wealth Around’
Barack Obama told a tax-burdened plumber over the weekend that his economic philosophy is to “spread the wealth around” — a comment that may only draw fire from riled-up John McCain supporters who have taken to calling Obama a “socialist” at the Republican’s rallies.
Obama made the remark, caught on camera, after fielding some tough questions from the plumber Sunday in Ohio, where the Democratic candidate canvassed neighborhoods and encouraged residents to vote early.
“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed “more and more for fulfilling the American dream.”

I don’t feel a politician should advertise on a video game that has violence or lawlessness. They are suppose to be role models.

I think it’s a smart move, and an encouraging sign that there’ll be this kind of creativity available in an Obama administration. We’re going to need all the help we can get cleaning up our mess over the next few years.

It’s the Bush/McCain Supply Siders who redistribute the wealth with their run-government-for-profit, subsidize the investment class, voodoo capitalism. Hey, Obama believes in true, balanced capitalism and therefore assumes that if you don’t like the video, you don’t have to buy the product!

Obama is starting to make himself look like he thinks hes gods answer to everything. video games, books for children tv stations,every other ad on every tv. spending money like theres no tomorrow. i am starting to worry about him.He is showing he likes power. Thats scary.next he will on our cereal box’s and toilet paper. i am sick of it all.

Manolete: You should take a look at “inequality by the numbers” before you rail against redistribution. The richest 1% share of income was 21.93% in 2005, historically the previous time it was higher than that was 1928, shortly before the stock crash and great depression.
Be informed; not ideological.

Hasn’t the sub-prime meltdown taught you kids anything? Duh.

That is such a cheap trick, advertising on a video game, sounds like looser advertising to me. The problem is that because the Reverand Farikan has dubbed Obama as the chosen one or the messiah he really believes it. That is very sad.

i watched the video and it brought up questions that do need to be answered.they should show this on every tv station tell it is answered. i am a dem and if this is true i want to know.

It is a smart, savvy, cutting edge way of getting out the message, simple as that.
Did the numbskulls at McPain/Falin central think of this? No, which is why they are jealous as usual. They’ve been completely outsmarted this campaign season, but bringing in Wilfred Brimley is probably their highlight.
And I LOVE the McPain trolls here, they have all but conceded that Grampy and Bible Spice are going to get slaughtered in three weeks at the ballot box.
Don’t be too sore about it. It’s bad for your complexion.
And please keep shouting Ayers! ACorn as loudly as you can.

Jake, when will you connect the dots between video game ads and the exploding McCain yard signs in Oregon?
Didn’t you know Bill Ayers wrote that ad?

“Now you understand the difference between Republicans and Democrats.”
What you forgot to mention is that the Democrat got his 20 dollars by taxing you, so it wasn’t his money, it was the peoples. Just like a Dem, to play the superhero, but they forget to tell you were their hand out money comes from.

Whine, whine, whine. The Republicans are so sad that in 2008 they have a bad candidate and the Democrats have a good one.
As an Independent, I know both parties are full of it. Reps — get a brand new platform. Throw out FOX news and the entire Bush clan! Dems — you are the lucky ones but work WITH Obama and the former Republicans and Independents to CHANGE America. Don’t try the old Democratic tricks or he will fail.
Obama/Biden ’08

The same folks who don’t get the brilliance of advertising to this VAST sector just like the McCain Campaign advisers: CLUELESS
Yea, you can overlook these “voters” by calling them losers but it will be McCain who looses come November. And BIG!!!
There is more bad news for McCain just coming round the bend.

This makes perfect sense, as only in a video game could his economic policies actually work (i.e. fantasy land)

To the commenter above who thinks Obama is “brilliant”: I believe he is DESPERATE. He is trying to infuse himself into everything and everyone in this nation. (KINDA LIKE BRAINWASHING, DON’T YOU THINK?) He is a bit obsessive, one scary individual.

Wow,
I use to like some EA games..
What sell-outs!
They should at least put the Red Hammer & Sickle up with those ads!
Now we get to pay to be advertised to with this BS!
Think Hitler or Stalin trying to influence every aspect of your life!
It’s a grim future indeed with this NoBama Nazi!
No more escapism, not in an Obama world…

Mcain supporters, please proof read your messages. Grammar and spelling are important virtues if you’re going to talk politics, or are all republican supporters under educated. vote Obama and help give your children a better education that you have.
