1. I saw this at Huff Post. I really like it. He's accessable, easy talking and speaks to what inspires

him. But, I'm not surprised. Obama is just being himself.

2. He's going a bit OTT with the patriotism, isn't he?

I suppose he has to though. Otherwise he's a secret, elite Muslim who hates America.

7. Well, that's just the song you have to sing for some in this country who don't read or think.

It's sad, but there are apparently people in this country who think he's a secret Muslim jihaddist who is an elitist with a crazy pastor.

:crazy:

4. Very effective ad!

Speaks directly to the middle and works well as an "introduction" to those who haven't gotten to know about him yet.

:thumbsup:

5. Didn't he run national ads during the Super Bowl? Or was that just in Super Tuesday States?

Anyway.

Great decision at that time and great ad now.

6. We are running the spots tomorrow

We just got the order at my TV station. It's pretty exciting. We are all in awe at this ad.

8. During what kind of shows? Are you a local affiliate?

[RockaFowler]

10. His spots are everywhere tomorrow & weekend

I work for a local affiliate (Florida). He's in Oprah, Dr Phil, all news & Extra. Good rounded schedule.

9. I approve this message....

I like it...I think it will be very effective.

11. When does McCain's

first Viagra ad come out?

12. OMG - I just had a frightening vision of McBush as one of those "Viva Viagra" guys

:scared: :puke:

Does anyone have some brain bleach I can use?

13. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.....

:thumbsup::thumbsup:positive and classy. I like what I see.

[wiggs]

14. It's excellent. Good intro for those who don't know him yet. Only 203 views? nt

15. Not my favorite ad, but I do not think I am the intended audience

this is more for people who do not yet know who Obama is or just know him by short blips on the news and false emails they have been chain mailed.

16. This is a great ad.

For a long time I've been hoping that he'd use that picture of him with his grandparents in an ad. It's very endearing.

[applegrove]

17. I like it. He is so charismatic. He must "star" in all his ads.

[unblock]

18. i like that they worked "i approve this message" into the speech itself

i find it annoying when it's tacked on at the end, like some "offer valid until november 4th" disclamer might be softly appended to some corporate ad....

The first thing coming to mind is "WOW, That was AWESOME!". Intelligence, Class, Dignity, Passion, Smack-Down ability. What more could you want from the next President of the United States!
