Senator Barack Obama

Obama Gets It

Posted by JumpyPants

Have you seen Obama's new two minute long ad (TWO MINUTES?!?!?! TWO?!?! TWO MINUTES?!? As in 10 times longer than a 20 second soundbyte?!?!?)?

Millionaires like Joe Richborough can cackle all they want about how Obama doesn't get it.

But I'm not a millionaire. I'm barely a thousandaire at this point. My economic life is, in fact, kind of like...this:

Paychecks are flat and home values are falling. It's hard to pay for gas and groceries and if you put it on a credit card they've probably raised your rates. You're paying more than ever for health insurance that covers less and less.

I don't need a soundbyte, I need a solution.

And I'm more than happy to take two minutes to listen to Senator Obama's ideas about solutions.

What I don't want to take two minutes to do is listen to the blow-dried, yapping, millionaire mug of Joe Scarborough and his ilk.
