I absolutely loved it and find it difficult to criticize.  Did anyone find something of which to be critical (other than its timing)?

ignorance truly is bliss.  For me, it just leaves me feeling small.  I'd sooner watch Fox and disagree with what I see than dogmatically stick my head in the ground, secure in my ignorance.

for the last month or so.  Accordingly, I know all of Obama's policies already.  I was hoping that those who have issues with him might have watched to see if they could learn anything.

Your OBAMESSIAH would be dissappointeed in your disdain for free choice. Just because I did not watch the  ''magic negro''  means I am ignorant :)
By the way LA Times calls Obama   that the same LA Times afraid to release the tape on Khaldi :)

Yep LA Times called Obama that the ''magic negro'' :)
Obama the 'Magic Negro'
The Illinois senator lends himself to white America's idealized, less-than-real black man.

Yup.

I guess 2 memoirs wasn't enough to feed his ego. Nor was a pointless boring speech in front of 200,000 adoring Germans who can't even vote. Delivering his acecptance speech in a sports stadium from a mock up of Mount Olympus still didn't do the trick either. So he had to waste - I don't even know how much money, 10 million? More probably - with a 30 minute rehash of his pointless plans and I still didn't hear any details on how exactly he plans to do any of the things he talks about.

I couldn't help but laugh when he talked about Russia. This is the guy who's response to Russia invading Georgia was that the UN should intervene to calm everyone down. Apparently unaware of the fact that Russia is on the UN Security council, so there was NO chance the UN was going to have anything to say about it.

And I couldn't help but chuckle when he began his infomercial with that unforutnate family in KC who struggles so hard to make ends meet. Two words for that poor unfortunate couple. Birth control. Maybe after the second kid they might have considered birth control options. If not then, maybe after the third kid. Or for god's sake, how about after the fourth kid? Don't expect me to cry because you are barely getting by, when the wife treats her womb like a baby factory and pops out 5 or 6 kids. Of course you can't pay the bills when you are trying to raise that many kids. Don't cry to me about it. Get a damned vastectomy. That might sound harsh, but do you realize these folks that Obama is talking quite likely don't pay any federal income tax at all? Not with all those deductions running around the house. So spare me the crap about how Obama is going to cut their taxes. Nothing from nothing is nothing.

So those are my thoughts. The informercial was, in a word, stupid, and it did nothing to enlighten me further about the steaming pile of BS Obama has been pedalling for two years now.

You are delusional :)

''Obama is there to help, out of the sheer goodness of a heart we need not know or understand. For as with all Magic Negroes, the less real he seems, the more desirable he becomes. If he were real, white America couldn't project all its fantasies of curative black benevolence on him.''

Not to mention the title of the article . :)

Did I understand you correctly?

In paragraph 1, are you saying that you object to how he spent the money the people gave him to spend as he deemed most appropriate to get elected?

In paragraph 2, is your critique of the commercial that he made statements that you did not like at some time other than during the commercial?

In paragraph 3, are you saying that working families that are pro life and don't believe in birth control do not deserve to be able to make ends meet?

In paragraph 4, by saying the infomercial is stupid, are you commenting on the decision to do it or the way it was done?

Once again, I sincerely apologize for my difficulty with comprehension.

You'd think they'd be able to understand the simple concept that  a contributed opinion article expresses only the thoughts of the writer and not the publication that runs the piece. This just in: the LA Times did not call Senator Obama a Magic Negro;  David Ehrenstein did.

Did you know McCain's relationship with him goes back 15 years?

But he is not in a video with Ayers and his wife lauging after a joke told by PLO at Jewish expense . That is why they will not release it it would be played  over and over :)
MAC was a chairman under Reagan
  McCain's organization helped a Palestinian group conduct research in the West Bank or Gaza on 30 public opinion polls and a study of "sociopolitical attitudes'' much differnt then a room full of PLO supporters laughing at jokes about Jews.
If I  was MAC I would demand that Obama tell the LA  TImes to release the tape.

That tape would not go over well IMO with jews.

In the context of spending 20 years in a church where now it is clear the anti-Israel rhetoric was there, was repeated, . . . that's what makes his presence at an Arab American event with a Said a greater concern," said Abraham H. Foxman, national director for the Anti-Defamation League.



At Khalidi's 2003 farewell party, for example, a young Palestinian American recited a poem accusing the Israeli government of terrorism in its treatment of Palestinians and sharply criticizing U.S. support of Israel. If Palestinians cannot secure their own land, she said, "then you will never see a day of peace

I don't have anything negative to say about the spot itself.  It was very well done, as I assumed it would be considering the advertising and movie talent he got to do it.  

Remember, the ad can be great, with the product flawed.  I don't think anyone can say anything negavative about any well-done propaganda.

There are so many things of substance that are silly that I will only mention my favorite:

I think he is funny talking about helping people and caring when his family (bother and aunt) rot in poverty while he made millions.  

This is the perfect example of the difference between socialist/liberals and conservatives: the question of who is the source of aid as a first source to turn to.  The Obama type thinks he should do nothing to help his family other than pay taxes.  (He doesn't even think he should pay for his kids college. Let the State do it for everyone.)

Conservatives think the state should be the source of last resort.  (Every conservate thinks there is a role in this area for the state, after family, charity, etc. The difference is when it kicks in.)

Yes dear, I am making the point that once again Obama placed an emphasis on his notion of spreading the wealth around, while lavishly wasting millions on a 30 minute ego trip. It is the same point I made some time ago when I pointed out that Obama doesn't lift a finger to help his own flesh and blood brother who lives in extreme poverty, while simultaneously planning to commit up to 0.6% of our GDP to fight "global poverty". The concept of leading by example just doesn't get through to Obama.

In paragraph three, I am making the point that having 5 children is an easy way to make it tough to make ends meet. Do families who have children deserve to be poor? No. I just have zero sympathy for someone who can't seem to shut down the baby factory. If you want to have half a dozen children, by all means do so. I just can't muster up any sympathy when you struggle to pay the bills because of all those kids. The family in question made a choice. They chose to have more children than they could afford. Now they have to live with that choice.

And yes, in paragragh four, I am saying that the idea was a stupid, arrogant, and grandiose one. The informercial itself was also stupid and quite pointless since it did not contain a single shred of new information.

You cannot debate too well can you :)
That was an editorial that a paid writer posted in the LA Times refering to Barack as the ''magic negro'' not just a write in opinion from an average Joe :)And you are naive if you do not understand they ran it because they liked Hillary at that time.
