Obama's 30 Minute TV Spot

So Obama has bought up a 30 minute TV spot to promote his propoganda to the people. While the Obama camp is being very tight lipped about the content of this infomercial tonight, I think it's safe to say that the information will be very pro-Obama and do everything to paint him as this "saviour" with all the best ideas on how we can fix this country.

I'm not sure if I'll watch it or not. I think it's a good idea to be informed and to know what the people you don't really agree with have in mind. I'm definitely interested to learn more about him since all signs right now point to an Obama victory.

However, knowing Obama's background and his plan for Socialized Healthcare and the Redistribution of Wealth I can't help but see this as a "State-run TV" type deal where the liberal and conservative medias are cut out so that he can sell his propoganda without influence from outside sources.

I don't really have a problem with him buying up TV time to promote his best interest. If you have the money to do it then do it. Honestly, it'd be nice if John McCain would do the same thing. However, other than being one long 30 minute infomercial what useable purpose will this deal serve?

On a separate note, I talked to someone who has a brother in Alaska the other day. He said that they are have very mixed emotions about the possibility of Sarah Palin becoming VP. He said that Alaska does not want to lose her and that she is as good as gold up there. She stood up to the face of corrupt politics in Alaska and because of her efforts the common man in Alaska is now better off. With all due respect to the people of Alaska, someone who stands up to the corrupt politics of Washington is exactly what Washington needs. We need to get leaders in Washington who can relate to the common man and who actually serve the common man. I think we've learned over the these past few months that Sarah Palin is that person which is why the liberal media has tried so hard to discredit her. The liberal media sees Palin as a legitimate threat to their poster boy, Barrack Obama, and they know that if they had not immediately started to discredit her the liberals could have lost their edge. While Obama could still lose, I think it's a long shot. Nevertheless, I'm still voting in hopes that my one vote makes the difference.
