Here is what I hate about political ads.
Can we stop lying?
Where is the change Obama?
Seems like politics as usual.
Obama's ad touting his health care plan quotes phrases from newspaper articles and an editorial, but makes them sound more laudatory and authoritative than they actually are.
It attributes to The Washington Post a line saying Obama's plan would save families about $2,500. But the Post was citing the estimate of the Obama campaign and didn't analyze the purported savings independently.
It claims that "experts" say Obama's plan is "the best." "Experts" turn out to be editorial writers at the Iowa City Press-Citizen – who, for all their talents, aren't actual experts in the field.
It quotes yet another newspaper saying Obama's plan "guarantees coverage for all Americans," neglecting to mention that, as the article makes clear, it's only Clinton's and Edwards' plans that would require coverage for everyone, while Obama's would allow individuals to buy in if they wanted to.

I'm holding my ammo on Obama until we know for certain that the Bitch is gone for good. There's a LOT of ammo on Obama, so don't blow your load.
funny, jhb, you seemed willing to foist that bitch onto your homeland when you thought some premillinial dispensationalist freak was gonna rock your leaky boat, just a few weeks ago...
it's pretty much accepted wisdom that obama will be peppered with lead, should he ever get past the starting gate
one only hopes, jhbowden, that when you speak of "ammo on obama", you picked an unfortunate turn of phrase and aren't hinting of any personal intentions of yours in advance

power on to zero hour, jhb
