1.) The first 10 minutes was dedicated to offsetting the damage of the Joe Plumber. A great number of “average Americans” who love B. Hussein Obama. Joe the Plumber really hurt Obama.
2.) The whole thing masked Obama’s big government creed as he sought to come across as moderate to conservative. However, if one could get past the sentimental malarkey it was clear he was big government. More on this later.
3.) Fairness was a big issue in the commercial. The whole system is unfair. Subtext is that Barack is going to make it all fair. The Messiah Obama is going to come to the rescue and settle all the unfairness that people contend against.
4.) B. Hussein Obama insisted that this is the worst economy since the great depression. This is the same thing that Clinton said in 1992 when he ran for President. The fact of the matter is that this economy is the worst since the Jimmy Carter years.
5.) B. Hussein Obama promised that he would solve our energy problem. Said he would give money to Car manufacturers in order to make cars that conserve and give money to those who buy those cars. This point, once cleared of the sentimental smoke, made it clear that Obama believes the government, quite contrary to the parameters of the constitution, is responsible to involve itself in the free market.
6.) B. Hussein Obama said that he is going to shrink government. What a liar. How can he shrink government when he promises that he is going to get involved with the auto industry, be responsible to make sure everybody can get a college education, and socialize the health care industry.
7.) B. Hussein Obama promised to get out of Iraq. This is easier said than done. How is he going to get out of Iraq without creating a vacuum that Iran will fill — to the point that Iran becomes a regional hegemon? Going into Iraq was a idiotic mistake but leaving Iraq in a way that Iran forms a new caliphate that stretches across the Arab world is not particularly wise.
8.) My sense is that this informerical was designed to help Democrats down ticket on the ballot. He had a great number of Democrat politicians in his infomercial.
9.) His commercial was heavily weighted with white people. This was not accidental. Obama must win enough of the white vote to put him over the top. Obama can’t win with minority votes. Obama has to convince white people that his close and intimate alliances with Jeremiah Wright, Rashid Khalidi, Bill Ayers, and Tony Rezko aren’t characteristic of who he is.
10.) He kept focusing on families that were having a hard go of it. The message that was communicated by both the families zeroed in on and by the B. Hussein infomerical is that the Federal government is responsible to bail out these families of their problems. Of course sane people know that the Federal Government can’t be the one to save people from their problems. Historically all government has ever known is to screw up whatever it puts its hands to.
11.) Obama went out of his way to say that his Mother used to say, “my son is an American.” This was not accidental as Obama’s citzenship is seriously in question. The reference was made quickly and quite subtly. Mentioned to make the point, but not dwelt upon to communicate insecurity. I honestly believe that B. Hussein Obama’s recent trip to Hawaii was concerned with the citizenship issue.
12.) Obama promised that the government would pay for their education if students would serve as slaves to the country for a set amount of time. Obama is going to be a great friend to the National Education Teachers Association. He is going to force children to stay in government schools. That is his record.
13.) Obama promised universal health care.
14.) Obama is angry at insurance companies that hurt his mom while she was ill.
15.) Obama read all the Harry Potter books to his daughter.
16.) Obama was sold as a real family man. Another appeal to white people that he is not a wild eyed radical.
17.) Obama say’s, “I am my brother’s keeper.” When the government says that they are endorsing socialism. It is not the job of the US Government to be the keeper of their brother. The State is not the Father of the people. If the US Government’s powers are enumerated and delegated then the US government, constitutionally has no place being “their brother’s keeper.” This idea that “the government is my brother’s keeper,” can be so blithely sold is indicative how thick the American people are regarding the role of the US government according to the constitution.
18.) Democratic Senate colleagues lied through their teeth in order to try and suggest that Obama had an incredible influence on the US Senate. This is recorded as abundantly not true.
19.) B. Hussein Obama tried to sell himself as a tough guy who can handle the job of commander in chief.
20.) Infomercial ended with people testifying on what a great guy Obama is. Tearjerker moment. Obama is the post-racial candidate. He will bring people together.
21.) Final scene was live. Obama speaking about change. Big themes about how he is going to help the middle class. Hope over fear. Unity over division. We can choose our better history. This is such claptrap. Politics is the art of lying well.
22.) Obama said he wouldn’t be a perfect President but that he would always tell people the truth. This is itself a lie. He hasn’t been truthful at all thus far. A liar doesn’t suddenly become someone who tells the truth. The emphasis on truth telling in the infomerical was likely because that is an issue with focus groups.
Background had about 10 white people and two black people. This is not accidental.
We will change the country and change the world. I’m sure he will if he gets the chance.
Impressions.
I’m kind of surprised. I expected more set scenes. I expected more of a context where Obama was set in a Presidential setting. I’m sure this will convince those already in the tank for B. Hussein Obama, but I have serious doubts that this infomercial will move the undecideds. The attempt of the infomercial was to show Obama as just an average American, fighting for the little guy. Little guys like Jeremiah Wrigyht, Bill Ayers, Father Pfleger, Rashid Khalidi, Tony Rezko, Frank Marshall Davis, and who knows how many other radical terrorist leftists.
