Obamas Infomercial - see for yourself
Instead of hearing what others dislike about Senator Obama's infomercial, why not watch it yourself and make your own decision?

Did Obama Break Any Ethics Laws?
Now, under the title of "Obama Broke Illinois Ethics Laws" some journalists have tried to insinuate that Senator Obama broke the law as state legislator when he received "speaking fees" - see the news here: http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/obama_broke_illinois_ethics_laws_as_a_state_legislator/.
Listen, there are many formats used by OTHER politicians. "I will do the job, but please donate to my favourite charity", or "....please donate to my campaign fund." What would be the difference?
Donations to campaign funds would be tax deductible for the one who pays, and campaign funds are not taxed, so in fact Senator Obama has done more than many others have, when considered ethically. Because the tactics employed by former candidates have not been illegal per se. It is fair to speak before supporters before you speak to non-supporters, and there would be no law against that.
But this type of article shows just how DIRTY some people will play to imply wrong motives. Let me say it again, Senator Obama IS honest and he IS a worthy candidate for the office of President of the United States of America. He has disclosed all he needs to do, and poor devious attacks from his opponents won't change that. If you check both sides of the story.

When The Gloves Come Off
In this final blog article before the Grand Election I would like to summarize a few key points I have found very interesting about BOTH campaigns. It is not only I, but even many political analyzers who have noticed that Obama ran a FAIR campaign whereas McCain ran a very biased and negative campaign.
Much like former elections, this campaign was PERSONAL. Republicans made a mess of world politics, and now they want to blame everyone else for THEIR mistakes while having had eight long years at the reins of control. The Democrats would have had great difficulty in explaining how wonderful everything would become after this George Bush-era IF Hillary Clinton had been elected. There would always have been a return to the Bill Clinton-era when she is married to the former President.
However, just as preconceived ideas, innuendos and theories have been rampant in this catfight, it would be fair to end by saying that from a Danish perspective (mine), the United States have had awful corpses hidden in the closet after Anti-Terrorist laws have greatly DEVALUED our democratic freedoms.
Surveillance is all over the place, not only in Echelon, but all over the planet. Supposedly to make us feel safer, but freedom-loving, law-abiding citizens have become LOSERS in a game in which they have never been heard nor respected.
If EVER there was a time when morale needed a great boost it would be now, but fighting among themselves will never solve these issues. Therefore, the recent turn-around of the Republican campaign seems only too shallow a sign of window-dressing. Changing the gift-wrapping doesn't change the basic fact that Republicans want CONTROL to an extent they would never have accepted before.
So, when you choose between the two candidates, my hope is you will remember who stood for good morals and ethics all along, remember who fought most fairly and who TRULY deserves to run the office of President of the United States of America.

Judicial Confirmation Network Campaign Will Backfire
The recent campaign from the Judicial Confirmation Network will backfire. Their attempts at smearing Senator Obama will backfire. Why some want to promote any candidate by having to smear the opponent is a mystery to me...
There are far more important things ahead for the country, but any back alley cat loves its kittens more than anything else. Politics has certainly become a somewhat dirty business when some won't see the big picture, but want to spread their bitterness like poison.
In other words: I'm glad it's soon over when the next President has been elected. :-)
