I thought the ad was quite good. It shows that he has gotten things done in his past yet he has not left his core message. He brings new people into the process, he brings people together, he inspires. Im sorry but Hilary Clinton doesnt do any of that. Apart from Bill Clinton Im not sure if Hillary Clinton is much of a politician, much less a leader. I like this ad. It doesnt slander any of his opponents, it highlights his accomplishments, it doesnt trim any fat off the truth. This is what a politcal ad SHOULD look like. Its amazing that you have anything but glowing things to say.

Would you rather the Poll testing Clinton. She will shamelessly change her slogan or ad to whatever fits the time. Though it maybe politically strategic it lacks the level of sincereity many voters find attractive in Obama.

There is a lot more out there, political and personal, but whoa, don't dare ask any questions of THIS candidate. This is a first in American politics, we should not look, or ask of the candidates background or record, just believe what he tells you, thats it!!

Wakeup people

Q: Was Obama’s real estate deal in Illinois really an issue?

A: A political patron from whom he bought a strip of land is under federal indictment, but there's no evidence Obama did anything improper.

Complete non-issue.

Next!

I like the ad. I think it gets his whole message across succinctly, which I think is the point. I hope he somehow finds a way to weave more substance into his stump speech, however, and I'd really like to see factcheck.barackobama.com much more heavily promoted.

Hilary claims 35 years of experience. Do the math. considering she is apx 60 years old, that would put her 25 years old when her qualifying 'experience' kicked in. now if she adds her husband's years to her's, she MAY come up with 35..but were they good? When does she plan to reveal EXACTLY where that experience came from? The Clinton's are masters at twisting the truth. Can they even tell the truth who is running for President? Bill or Hillary???

Barack Obama uses his intelligence and passion for the issues to actually get things done. He has an impressive track record and will make a GREAT President. His commitment to the results he stands for and promises are the most important aspect of his campaign. All of Hillary's plans just leave me with fear, since she has demonstrated a "MY way or NO way ATTITUDE" in all of her public life. If anyone has ever had LIFE go the way you PLAN, I would like to know as I have never met anyone who has. Plans become related to as the way things SHOULD be and when LIFE doesn't cooperate you have the right to be offended and make others WRONG. Hillary has demonstrated this style for years and we need someone who is committed to the results and has the intelligence to DEAL with the complexities of what actually happens to turn things out in a positive way. Barack Obama understands that bringing people together and establishing a context of workability is CRITICAL to solve the complex problems we are facing. People can delude themselves that Hillary knows what she is doing, and if she lived in a world where everything goes her way that might work. She doesn't and all of her plans and specifics of how she will solve the problems we are facing makes Hillary a leagend in her own mind not a viable canidate for President to lead this country. We need a President with intelligence and inspiring leadership who can implement the change and that person is Barack Obama. We haven't had a person running for office that demonstrates these qualities in so many years, perhaps some have forgotten what REAL LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE! Do what is right for our country! VOTE OBAMA '08.

What is sad is that the Clintons have forced Obama to use his time and money correcting their statements. They are smart, or should I say cunning, to pick at little pieces of things and twist them just enough to make him look bad, but they can say "Oh, we thought you meant....." Hillary gets to campaign and cry and smile and talk about issues while Hit Man Bill gets to do the dirty work and keep Obama busy. Hillary will propose health care for everyone with wonderful benefits and no cost. Congress of course will not be able to do that and she will blame them and say SHE tried to do it. She knows what is not reasonable but can promise it because she can turn that around also. Obama is being truthful and reasonable and genuinely intends to do what he says and has the ability to get Congress' cooperation to do it. Hillary just plays games and thinks it is "the fun part."

"He opposed the war before it started, never supported a bankruptcy bill that would make it harder for families to climb out of debt, and hasn't supported NAFTA or permanent trade with China that have sent millions of jobs overseas."

He needs to put that in an ad, just that concisely.
