To me, it was depressing... he was painting a picture of a failed nation, economic depression, and nothing really inspiring. Four family stories of woe and despair, testimonials to his compassion by Kathleen Sebelius and Deval Patrick, and tax cuts for everybody under 200K (not 250K). It was a parade of victims, and he didn't go into leadership or accomplishment. LOL... then you see a fat family eating dinner at a huge table. The mother has to get up before the sun. Mom goes off to teach problem kids at what looks like a kid prison. Try rationing the soda and confections, and maybe that gallon of milk won't be so bad. Obama's view of America: fat poor people, Google billionaire lecturing about wealth; Mom has to ration milk because of high gas prices and a bad economy. Then he brought out VA's governor ripping into CEO's right after Obama brought out Google's CEO praising Obama. Just weird. And that lady who was complaining that the snacks in her fridge might not last a week for her kids (tough life, I know)... she was wearing a set of $40 acrylic fingernails (just an estimate; I've paid for my woman's nails before)...lol. Summation of the infomercial's theme: There's no hope for them and the only hope we have is somebody who cares about them in the White House such as Barack Obama.

I don't know if you've noticed, but poor people tend to be the fattest because their nutrition is atrocious. Have you tried eating organic on a low income budget?

Originally posted by Groundhog Boy I guess I'm in the minority, but I didn't really like the spot. My girlfriend didn't, either. I think Obama's words would have been a lot more powerful without the montages.

I enjoyed it for what it was.

good point... I remember the first time I saw a fat homeless dude when I was younger. and I could't make heads or tails of it. That being said, those people on that tv spot weren't poor

I've never heard anyone call you that before...

Regardless, he was still denied no matter how you want to spin it...
