- littlequeenie, on 06/19/2008, -25/+264Wonderful ad!!! No scare tactics, no slamming - just Barack Obama!!!
Wish it were coming to Minnesota - I'm stuck with 2 different ***** campaign ads these days!!! - alapoet, on 06/19/2008, -27/+189That's a really good ad, and a really great message.
- westbay1, on 06/19/2008, -17/+167See... you don't need to use fear to gain the support of a nation!
- wolfie8914, on 06/19/2008, -8/+79If you're going to be the first poster, please understand the difference between "there" and "their."
- JlmAWP, on 06/19/2008, -14/+74Fantastic ad. Didn't seem like 60 seconds. I wouldn't have minded watching more...plus, he was a cute kid.
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -19/+75Yes great ad. He was raised with Ks. values. Sorry to say that over the years Kansas has been taken over by the right. My red state may not go for Senator Obama, but this Ks. Dude will be casting my vote for him.

" Thank you for contacting me about the proposed legislation to give phone companies legal immunity for past wiretapping. I share your strong opposition to this proposal.
I have consistently opposed this Administration's efforts to use debates about our national security to expand its own power, whether that was on the Iraq war, or on its power grab to curb our civil liberties through domestic surveillance programs. It is time to restore oversight and accountability in the FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] program, and this proposal -- with an unprecedented grant of retroactive immunity -- is not the place to start. This Administration has put forward a false choice between the liberties we cherish and the security we demand. When I am president, there will be no more illegal wire-tapping of American citizens." - briankoenig03, on 06/19/2008, -0/+46http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_li ...

Obama has voted against telecom immunity in the past, and is a strong supporter of network neutrality. - compuser1, on 06/19/2008, -15/+56The goal of that ad "see...I have a white mother and grandparents and THEY raised me..not blacks"
- spargo, on 06/19/2008, -1/+41Do you have to approve a message you're already speaking for yourself on behalf of yourself?
- faizal5k, on 06/19/2008, -12/+48Amazing ad. I love how you actually see him talk and only hear his own voice and he speaks for himself unlike many other ads where you hear someone trying to put fear into your head with scare tactics.
- dOOBiEx213, on 06/19/2008, -10/+45Let's just hope this race isn't determined by race.
- cm32438, on 06/19/2008, -2/+33Sorry to jack your thread....but, see the ad here on youTube and bypass the Huff:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ylVTBiGh00c - mal1964, on 06/19/2008, -2/+31You'll probably hate all political ads by November.
- onboleman, on 06/19/2008, -5/+32Obama: Strong Cough Medicine for a Sick Country.
- MindStalker, on 06/19/2008, -4/+28While I support and will probably vote for Obama. One of Obama's strengths are this moment is he is such a blank slate that people impose their views of the perfect President on him, believing Obama will side the way that individuals wishes Obama would side. Policitally he would be best to maintain that, stick with common values and stay away from specifics that half the country might disagree with. Is Obama doing this purposefully? I don't know. But if he really came out rallying behind Democrat ideas he would lose a lot of the independent right of the line voters out there..
- cm32438, on 06/19/2008, -7/+31See it on youTube, skip the Huff, if you'd like:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ylVTBiGh00c - lookitsrobss, on 06/19/2008, -20/+40everyone in that ad was white except barack
lmfao
i guess this ad was for the white people - dagnabbit, on 06/19/2008, -4/+24The next President. You might want to brush up on that.
- sahala, on 06/19/2008, -0/+19I know she's your aunt and all, but if something is blatantly false, wouldn't it be appropriate to say something?
- womensgroup, on 06/19/2008, -16/+34Great Ad. We should all be passing the link around everywhere we go on the net!
- kevinwiz, on 06/19/2008, -0/+18I think it's an attempt to make himself personally known. I think moderate voters have an understanding (albeit false) of who McCain is, but a lot of people don't really know who Obama is. This ad addresses that well.
- Michiko280, on 06/19/2008, -14/+32This is going to reach so many people! Great to hear!
- mrfreeziexp, on 06/19/2008, -5/+21It will be a sad day should Obama lose to McBush. Please don't screw this up, America.
- Finsternis, on 06/19/2008, -3/+20But... Barack Obama IS white.
He' just as white as he is black: 50% of each. It's just as correct to call him white as black. Where did the rule come form that we have to call someone black if they have *any* amount of black ancestry? - mahoneyxp, on 06/19/2008, -0/+15I had to call my mom out on this a few months ago. You will feel awkward the first time calling them out, but soon they will learn to stop sending that garbage out without researching it first.
- OBAMA4POTUS, on 06/19/2008, -25/+39OBAMA OBAMA
Make your mother, your grandparents and Kansas proud!! - inactive, on 06/19/2008, -36/+49Obama, I am done donating until you come out and make a public stance on the FISA bill (Teleco immunity bill) which is about to come to the Senate floor for a vote.
You have said NOTHING about it.
If you are a leader, who respects civil liberties and the rule of law that this nation was founded upon, you sir, need to step up. - fremeer, on 06/19/2008, -0/+13hi im barack obama and look i was raised by white ppl just like you in the midwest. Decent ad but you can tell he is worried by the rascists and yokels.
- Suzilla, on 06/19/2008, -3/+16Bush already took care of that, as he did with every business he ever owned or managed, and just like he almost did with the state of Texas.
- praisethelard, on 06/20/2008, -1/+14Why don't you have a seat...
- womensgroup, on 06/19/2008, -3/+15Why not copy the link of this ad and pass it around on all your local "news" blogs?
- scottsutherland, on 06/19/2008, -1/+13Although that seems kind of racist, it's funny because it's a great point; there were almost exclusively white people. I think it's just the nature of the message, appealing to the white working class. He doesn't have to work very hard to gain support of African Americans.
- vw2005, on 06/19/2008, -1/+13and we'll say whatever we want about you ............ when you're not in the room.
hahaha i'm not hatin' ...you know it happens... - chrissku, on 06/19/2008, -4/+16Alaska...Georgia...Indiana...North Carolina....Montana??? Looks like someone is trying to change red to blue!
- WhiteBoyDunkin, on 06/19/2008, -5/+16Getting McOwned in McMinnesota also. Doesn't help that my aunt sends me Mcain emails every 5 seconds followed by Obama is a muslim terrorist emails. Funny how ignorant people can be.
- Gutterpunk, on 06/19/2008, -3/+14And I will not vote for you Obama until you start reading Digg for the opinion of some random constituant!
- mediaspree, on 06/19/2008, -2/+12You have my brain in an infinite loop.
- ngmcs8203, on 06/19/2008, -0/+10Does anybody else find the nuances of ads like this interesting? Everything from his dressed down suit to the acoustic guitar playing a folk-style song in the background screams, "Hey middle-America! I'm not the bad guy that the RNC is trying to make you assume."
- mrallen86, on 06/19/2008, -0/+10Don't bother. I tried to go vote today and they didn't even have any booths set up.
- Everglow, on 06/19/2008, -20/+29I am so excited. FINALLY! Let's save this country!
- joe122370, on 06/19/2008, -4/+13it's all about CHANGE baby
- HappyProgrammer, on 06/19/2008, -0/+9If you are going to diss it, please have the decency to say why.
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -11/+20Thank God, It's been over 5 minutes since I've seen Huff Post spam. I was starting to hyperventilate.
- ELiTe185, on 06/19/2008, -2/+10Don't apologize, you did us all a favor.
- nblsavage, on 06/19/2008, -1/+9Tsk, tsk, digging down the Bible. For shame.
- nblsavage, on 06/19/2008, -5/+13From the Bible the right wingers hold so dear : "Do unto others as you would have done unto you" - Guess it's a commie book right?
- Jareth86, on 06/19/2008, -1/+9He's working hard to make sure he doesn't get labeled as "the black candidate".
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -5/+12Great ad
