Obama Flips McCain, Hands Him His Head

On February 27, 2008 By Eric

At the rally I missed (no love from Obama camp on the creds), B.O. responds to John McCain trying to get in a cheap one by flipping his shit upside down and handing it back to him. I figured out in this clip one of the reasons I like Barack so much. He has the ability to channel his his disdain for the opposition in a way that is not at all angry. It’s sardonic, yet playful in tone but expresses the point just about perfectly…and it’s effortless. It’s almost like he walks up to those suffering over his success, […]

Viva Obama! (Video)

On February 27, 2008 By Eric

Viva!

English Translation:

To the candidate who is Barack Obama
I sing this corrido with all my soul
He was born humble without pretension
He began in the streets of Chicago
Working to achieve a vision
To protect the working people

Viva Obama! Viva Obama!
Families united and safe and even with a health care plan
Viva Obama! Viva Obama!

Latest Misleading Hillary Mailer Focuses on Energy

On February 27, 2008 By Eric

I don’t watch much TV these days. I do check the mail daily though so I’m pretty tuned in to the direct mail battles going on at least here in Delaware County Ohio. I’m hearing the TV ratio for ads is 4-1 Obama. The direct mail must be flipped 4-1 in Hillary’s favor.
