If you feel that way about a politician, then you are one gullible son of a gun.

Yeah. It's almost like obsessed little kids. People are acting like we're living through the depression and we're at the end of our rope. Give me a break TC. We are in slighly troublesome times right now, but hardly anything to cry like a ***** about and put your stock in a politician fixing everything for you like some kind of savior.

I see someone being inspired by a politician's words. Nothing new. How bad must politics be when faith in a politician is almost automatically viewed as odd behaviour. :P

I'm a hardcore Obama supporter, and even I think that you might want to rethink the extent to which you critically think about what you watch on TV. :P

Being inspired is one thing.. and that's not a bad thing. But he is sounding like a brainwashed, obsessed nut. It's creepy no matter if it's a politican or an athlete or whoever.

Five minutes into the infomercial, the words "hope," "change" and "faith" appeared two, three and two times, respectively.

Yeah, it got boring after a while.

Exactly, and at least Obama openly admitted his drug use unlike the other liars (George W. Bush, Bill Clinton). Obama on his drug use "I inhaled frequently when I was younger...that was the point".

In the end really I will take this optemism and actual policy focusing.. Instead of the ceaseless attacks and fearmongering the republican side has done for like 8 years. McCain's campaign imo has just been going down hill, rarely do you see him say anything constructive or about his plans, in the end it just turns into a smere campaign. Unfortantely this seems to work at times, with the whole Kerry Swift boat smere campaign in the last election.

that infomercial really made me mad. I only get 5 channels, and that damn infomerical was on 4 of them. I work hard all day, get home and sit down to watch some TV and relax, and theres that d-bag spamming every channel with his life story. Don't get me wrong, I'll still vote for him most likely, but I still think it's a pretty lame move on his part. Think of all the struggling middle-class american families he could have helped with teh money he spent buy a half-hour of primetime air on 4 networks.

Hell, if he were supplying, I'd definitely hit a rail with him. Why the hell not? I'd also do so with George W. Bush or a wide array of political figureheads that have no doubt used cocaine, given the oppurtunity.

Not that something like that should even factor in when you're considering your vote.

"Let's see...this guy has strong foreign policy, years of credible experience, a Harvard degree...oh, but this other canditate, I could see me drinking with him in a ****ty dive that is probably my local bar! You've got my vote, cheers!"

Not american; didn't see it.

How will Obama offer you hope, change and faith? For that matter, why do you need it so badly?

Last time I heard, America's still standing.

Barack does say Uh a lot. I thought I was the only one that notice this during the debates. I guess between those uhs he can think unlike Bush,Sarah Palin or Mccain who just say a lot dumb sh*t.

Without poeple following you and backing you then how can you call your self a leader. I guess your follower which is ok cause every plays apart. Sarah Palin has followers that call Obama terrorist and monkey. A few racist followers...but thats normal. However if poeple fall in love with some who has been different but good its a problem?

A single person should not have "followers" in a democracy......"good" is yet to be proved and may be in the eye of the beholder.

And how am I a follower exactly?
