American Stories, American Solutions - Obama’s Closing Statements
Firstly, sorry to keep going on about Obama. Don’t worry, this time next week, it’ll all be over, and he’ll (hopefully) be President-elect.
But anyway… tonight saw the airing of Obama’s “closing statements” to the country. Basically, he paid around $1 million to each of the major networks to show his 30 minute documentary outlining why he should be President.
Content-wise, there wasn’t much we didn’t already know - energy independence, lowering taxes for the middle classes, etc, but overall provided a great opportunity for Obama to use one of his last chances to get American’s votes. The infomercial focussed maninly on the economy, and told the stories of four people, a white, married mother, a Hispanic widow, mother and teacher, a black retired railroad worker and a factory worker.
But the main theme, as with the rest of the campaign, was change and unity - selling an Obama who will unite the country.
But did it work?
I think it did - many Americans can’t get enough of Obama. He has such skill in rallying people and inspiring. He has a very broad appeal, in fact, theres not a lot to fault him on. He’s run a flawless campaign, from beginning to end.
I guess we’ll know the answer this time next week.
Watch the full video below…
Did you notice how many white people that were in Obamas Infomercial. Who rounded up the players for this soap opera . Instead of a bunch of wealthy individuals where was the poor he wants to give our hard earned money to . Where is the underclass he keeps preachingabout. The difference between Bill Cliton and Obama is Bill C was a Governor and had the experience to run a state. Obama has not kelp his word to the people that voted him in to his seat. How can you trust the word of a who hasn’t gotten the job done he has. The big picture he is not ready . He says he will change the country but in the real world it is us who will change it. You dont have to give big brother the right to rule your life. We control congress with the voice we give them . We need less federal spending and less taxes. Not more big government and less in our pockets. We need a strong military leader not a cut and run guy. WAKE UP DONT BE SHEEP.
