Obama's 2 minute Iowa Ad
He's as sharp as I've ever seen him. He might actually have the confidence to pull this off. http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid353515028/bctid1364183005

25. WTF!!
You know who support, right?

Are you saying that Obama wasn't a community organizer in South Chicago?
Are you saying he didn't teach constitutional law instead of becoming a high paid lawyer?
Are you saying that he didn't fight hard for the people of Illinois as a State Senator for 8 years?

And, you're calling him slick?

8. At least he wasn't drowning in makeup like someone else running...lol
It was a great last Iowa Ad. Tomarrow, the Obama Train leaves the building on the way to the White House!

16. I don't think so.
I thought Hillary's was ok - she looked nice, but appeared to be fake-like, reading from a prompter. Obama seems like a real person chatting - and his smile seems real, too. IMO it's much better.

19. Obama's smile is a real plus for him....
I haven't heard many people talk about it, but it is the first thing I have noticed when I have seen him on TV. His smile is genuine and personable. Not at all forced.

17. I have no idea why Hillary let them use such a harsh close camera angle
It was just uncomfortable to watch.

26. Exactly. Any person that has a problem with Oprah supporting Obama really is lost.
And pathetically sad.

23. I am going to repost what I said in another thread, cause no one had an answer.
He shouldn't have said "one of the last times you will hear me say, I'm Barack
Obama and I approve this message"

Won't he need to say it a lot more if he wins the general. Isn't he going to run ads in Iowa if he wins the nom?

24. My take was that it was targeted at Iowa and he's being cheeky.
I noticed it too.
