'Changing World' - New Obama Ad
This ad continues the themes outlined in the previous national security spot airing by the Obama team in targeted states.
The ad's script reads:
Announcer: 40 years ago it was missile silos and the Cold War.
Today, it's cyber attacks...loose nukes...oil money funding terrorism.
Barack Obama understands our changing world.
On the Foreign Relations Committee, he co-sponsored a law to lock down loose nuclear weapons.
As president, he'll rebuild our alliances to take out terrorist networks...
And fast-track alternatives so we stop spending billions on oil from hostile nations.
New leadership for a changing world.
Obama VO: I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

OBAMA'S TRIP TO ISLAM..
Obama tried to hide his 3 week stay in Pakinstan from the public..While he was a college student. That's why he didn't want his passport information to get out..
Wonder what Obama learned while staying with these People..
It all sounds very innocent, "a college trip to Pakistan".
Pakistan was in turmoil in 1981 and ruled of martial law. Millions of Afghan refugees were living in Pakistan, while the Afghan Mujahedeen operated from bases inside Pakistan in their war with the Soviets.
One of the leaders that based his operation in Quetta, Pakistan was Usama Bin Laden (The Sheik).
Pakistan was on the banned travel list for US Citizens at the time and all non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by their embassy for official business.
There would be only a few reasons a young Westerner of the Muslim faith would travel to Pakistan in 1981:
To Participate in Jihad, which is the duty of every "True Believer".
For religious education in a Wahabbi sect, Saudi funded, Madrassa.
In order to purchase drugs from the drug marketplace.
Pakistan was not a tourist stop nor the place to hang out with someone's family in 1981.
Wonder where else Obama traveled.. Soon the public will find out i'm sure.. Wait and see what is exposed....

goodrow, you haven't been listening! Nobody has flip-flopped more than John McCain. McCain can't even answer questions accuratley. Lord help us if McCain wins, he is just another Bush and if you haven't noticed our economy, you are living in cave.
A little satire5:57PMJul 16th 2008
I can easily compare religions to various types of doggies, because most of us understand doggies...
CHRISTIANS are like Labradors or sheepdogs - kind, considerate,helpful, faithful, reliable, gentle.
JEWS are like Retrievers or German Sherpards - hard working,intelligent, reliable, bring-it-home, defenders, faithful.
PROTESTANTS are like Chihuahuas or Terriers - lot of noise but good intentions, nips you in the leg, cheeky but means no harm.
BUDDHISTS are like Bulldogs - slow, heavy, round, deliberate, unmovable, smart, earthy.
ATHEISTS are like the virtual chia-pet dog. You can see it on screen, but have no responsibility. Similar to the "pet-rock" of the 70s.
MUSLIMS are like "rabied" Pitbulls or Rottweilers. They will attack anyone or anything for no reason, want to dominate the world, foaming at the mouth.
OBAMA comes from an Atheist-Muslim background.
I WILL PICK A LABRADOR ANYTIME.

Obama is one of these Idiots that thinks crude oil is just gasoline... It's not..Gas is just a run off product.. Crude oil is the heart and soul of America.. We can create a different fuel to run our cars sure, but crude oil is more then just that.. Without it this nation will have to do without many many many different products.. Almost every thing in this country is connected to crude oil in someway or another...Houses, cars, roads, bridges, you name it..CRUDE OIL is involved in someway..So we must drill for crude oil no matter where..

If only the people would have gotten off that "momentum" train when all that hoopla was going on and paid attention to the issues being discussed. I think that if you would had listened you probably would have voted differently. Obama is just not experienced enough to run this country, especially a country that is in so much trouble. Unfortunately I think that the person that would have had a better chance to make a "change" was not given the chance because of the past. If only people would get off the personal issues of the politicians and study what they can do for our country. When you go for a job interview, experience makes all the difference in getting the job so why should the President's job be any differnt. I honestly think that the young people pushed him through to the runoff. Why? They are so into changing the way the world looks at race and thats o.k. but you also have to think about a lot of other things and they didn't. Now statistics are showing that the young voters are not so sure about Obama. I just wished they would have paid attention when it was needed.

(a little satire) I don't know where you get your information from but I would bet the sheepish christians you talk about have killed more people in the name of their god than any other religion

Being a white senior citizen I am shocked to see that in this time and age of changing world there are so many narrow minded rascists posting hate filled comments on this blog. We should realize that the miserably failed policies of Bush/
Cheney administration caused the totally senseless war in Iraq which has, to date, resulted in the loss of over 4,000 American lives, 500,000 Iraqi lives, 500 billion dollars, economic bankruptcy and worldwide loss of respect for USA. If this is not insanity then what is? It is definitely a time for change. McCain wants to continue the failed policies of Bush?Cheney. Obama is our best hope for positive change. He is a leader par excellence. Obama, if elected President, will bring back world wide respect for USA, revive economic growth and end the totally senseless war in Iraq.

"..So we must drill for crude oil no matter where.."
Jim,
Are you that out of touch with reality? You really don't know how this all works, do you? Stop listening to Rush, and find things out for yourself.
Let me help you a little bit.
Do you think that the Oil we drill here is going to us? Are you crazy? It will go to the highest bidder. It will go to China and India.
Drilling here will not help us in the least.
If people are so concerned about the Gas prices, they need to educate themselves better. Prices are high because of the speculators. The speculators are filling the pockets of the big investors.
Close the Enron loophole, and gas prices will go down a tremendous amount.
Get with the program people. Know what you're talking about.
RIChris9:09PMJul 16th 2008
And this ad said what?!?! Zip. Zero. Zilch. Because that's what he's done. Because that's the extent of his experience. Because that's the grasp he has on reality. This has ALWAYS been a 'changing world'. Obama seems to have noticed this only recently.
mngradeg9:15PMJul 16th 2008
Oh Yeah....more OBAMA ads. So much money spent to paint his empty personality to look more solid??? What an ambitious politician from Chicago? He thinks he could buy Americans into believing that he is genuine. No sireee. We are beginning to see your weightlessness and emptiness.
I'D RATHER VOTE FOR ANOTHER BUSH....Just regret the DNC swiftboated Hillary. HILLARY COULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST BET FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY....What a pity for the DNC to trash the best candidate and opted for the worse one.

"Part of the slippage is Obama’s fault and part is McCain’s gain.
Obama has carried flip-flopping to new heights. In the space of a month and a half, this candidate — who we don’t really yet know very well — reversed or sharply modified his positions on at least nine key issues:" bY dICK MORRIS
THE GREATEST FLIP-FLOPPER OF ALL TIMES...
"After vowing to eschew private fundraising and take public financing, he has now refused public money.
Once he threatened to filibuster a bill to protect telephone companies from liability for their cooperation with national security wiretaps; now he has voted for the legislation.
Turning his back on a lifetime of support for gun control, he now recognizes a Second Amendment right to bear arms in the wake of the Supreme Court decision.
Formerly, he told the Israeli lobby that he favored an undivided Jerusalem. Now he says he didn’t mean it.
From a 100 percent pro-choice position, he now has migrated to expressing doubts about allowing partial-birth abortions.
For the first time, he now speaks highly of using church-based institutions to deliver public services to the poor.
Having based his entire campaign on withdrawal from Iraq, he now pledges to consult with the military first.
During the primary, he backed merit pay for teachers — but before the union a few weeks ago, he opposed it.
After specifically saying in the primaries that he disagreed with Sen. Hillary Clinton’s proposal to impose Social Security taxes on income over $200,000 and wanted to tax all income, he has now adopted the Clinton position.
Obama’s breathtaking flips and flops are materially different from McCain’s. While McCain had opposed offshore oil drilling and now supports it, the facts have obviously changed. Obama’s shifts have nothing to do with altered circumstances, just a change in the political calendar.
As a candidate who was nominated to be a different kind of politician, Obama has set the bar pretty high. And, with his flipping and flopping, he is falling short, to the disillusionment of his more naïve supporters. One wag even called him the "black Bill Clinton," a turnaround of the "first black president" moniker that had been pinned on Bill."
As of July 14, the 7-percentage point of Hussein is down to one.....IF HE FLIP-FLOPS AGAIN, THE TABLES WILL TURN IN FAVOR OF MCCAIN.
THEY SAY THAT MCCAIN IS OLD AND CONFUSED, BUT I BELIEVE IS MORE CONFUSED WITH HIS EVERY-NOW-AND-THEN FLIP-FLOPPING....

OBAMA TRIVIA9:44PMJul 16th 2008
Obama the "trivia" candidate with a "flip flop" score of 100%.
Do we trust a guy who changes his name and his race to suit the moment?
I am not into a candidate I do not trust to keep a promise or a steady course.
He is a phony with too many ties to terrorists and anti-Americans.
WHERE'S THE BEEF???
VOTE FOR McCAIN IN 2008.

FLIP-FLOP-BARACK is the "change" candidate all right... he has yet to take a position he is not been willing to back-flip to the right on now that Clinton has been successfully swift boated out of the picture.
And his campaign has also single-handedly "changed" millions of Dems to vote Republican for the first time in their lives.
Now that's real "CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN..." lol
